commit c001c87a63aa2f35358e33eb05e45e4cbcb34f54 upstream.

We should always do a layoutcommit after commit to DS, except if
the layout segment we're using has set FF_FLAGS_NO_LAYOUTCOMMIT.

We must not skip encoding the statistics, or the server will see an

commit 86fb449b07b8215443a30782dca5755d5b8b0577 upstream.

Jeff reports seeing an Oops in ff_layout_alloc_lseg. Turns out
copy+paste has played cruel tricks on a nested loop.

<title>pNFS/flexfiles: Add support for FF_FLAGS_NO_IO_THRU_MDS</title>

For loosely coupled pNFS/flexfiles systems, there is often no advantage
at all in going through the MDS for I/O, since the MDS is subject to
the same limitations as all other clients when talking to DSes. If a
DS is unresponsive, I/O through the MDS will fail.

For such systems, the only scalable solution is to have the pNFS clients
retry doing pNFS, and so the protocol now provides a flag that allows
the pNFS server to signal this.

If LAYOUTGET returns FF_FLAGS_NO_IO_THRU_MDS, then we should assume that
the MDS wants the client to retry using these devices, even if they were
previously marked as being unavailable. To do so, we add a helper,
ff_layout_mark_devices_valid() that will be called from layoutget.

If the pNFS/flexfiles file is mirrored, and a read to one mirror fails,
then we should bump the mirror index, so that we retry to a different
mirror. Once we've iterated through all mirrors and all failed, we can
return the layout and issue a new LAYOUTGET.

invalidate the corresponding layout segment and return it.

If a read-write layout has an invalid mirror, then we should
mark it as invalid, and return it.
If a read-only layout has an invalid mirror, then mark it as invalid
and check if there is still at least one valid mirror before we return
it.

Note: Also fix incorrect use of pnfs_generic_mark_devid_invalid().
We really want nfs4_mark_deviceid_unavailable().

Unlike read layouts, the writeable layout cannot fall back to using only
one of the mirrors. It need to write to all of them.

Unlike the files layout, flexfiles does not test for the NFS_DEVICEID_INVALID
flag. Instead it relies on NFS_DEVICEID_UNAVAILABLE.
Fix is to replace with nfs4_mark_deviceid_unavailable().
