[PATCH 0/4] pNFS/flexfiles: Cancel I/O if the layout is revoked

[trondmy@kernel.org]

From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com>

The pNFS/flexfiles driver is capable of having a lot of outstanding I/O
in the RPC layer when it flushes out the writeback data. If the server
decides to recall or revoke the layout when this happens, then it takes
a while for that I/O to complete.
To speed things up, add an API to allow the flexfiles driver to cancel
that I/O and hence return the layout earlier.

Trond Myklebust (4):
  SUNRPC: Fix races with rpc_killall_tasks()
  SUNRPC: Add a helper to allow pNFS drivers to selectively cancel RPC
    calls
  SUNRPC: Add API to force the client to disconnect
  NFSv4/flexfiles: Cancel I/O if the layout is recalled or revoked
