From b31268ac793fd300da66b9c28bbf0a200339ab96 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trond Myklebust Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2011 17:02:00 -0400 Subject: FS: Use stable writes when not doing a bulk flush If we're only doing a single write, and there are no other unstable writes being queued up, we might want to just flip to using a stable write RPC call.

It is up to the driver to have preallocated list headers for each destination it may need. pnfs_commit_list() is how the driver actually takes control, it is used instead of nfs_commit_list(). In order to pass information between the above functions, we create a union in nfs_page to hold a lseg (which is possible because the req is not on any list while in transition), and add some flags to indicate if we need to use the pnfs code.

Now that we no longer call nfs_clear_request() until the nfs_page is being freed, we know that we are always holding a reference to the nfs_open_context, which again holds a reference to the path, and so the inode cannot be freed until the last nfs_page has been removed from the radix tree and freed. We can therefore skip the igrab()/iput() altogether.
