[PATCH Version 4 00/11] NFSV4.1,2 session trunking

[<andros@netapp.com>]

From: Andy Adamson <andros@netapp.com>

This patch set enables session trunking configured two ways.

The NFSv4 minorversion > 0 pseudo-fs is probed
with a GETATTR(fs_locations) to retrieve a replicas list.
Each replica address is tested for session trunking. Those
that pass are added as aliases to the mount rpc client.

Try all multipath addresses for a data server. The first address that
successfully connects and creates a session is the mount address.
All subsequent addresses are tested for session trunking and
added as aliases.

TODO:

- Periodically probe the pseudo-fs with the GETATTR(fs_locations)
to pick up server multipath changes. This is why the
GETATTR(fs_locations) is a stand alone call.

- Call BIND_CONN_TO_SESSION for session trunking addresses
established under SP4_MACH_CRED or SP4_SSV. SP4_NONE established
addresses do not require BIND_CONN_TO_SESSION.

TESTING:

The pseudo-fs GETATTR(fs_locations) probe session trunking
was tested against a Linux server with a pseudo-fs
export stanza (e.g. a stanza with the fsid=0 or fsid=root
export option) and a replicas= export option
(replicas=<path1>@<server1>:<path2>@<server2>..)
Note that this configuration is for testing only. A future
patchset will add the replicas= configuration to the
NFSEXP_V4ROOT nfsd and mountd processing.

The pNFS DS multipath session trunking was tested against a
pynfs server which provides DS multipath configuration.
