In ff_layout_mirror_valid() we may not want to invalidate the layout
segment despite the call to GETDEVICEINFO failing. The reason is that
a read may still be able to make progress on another mirror.
So instead we let the caller (in this case nfs4_ff_layout_prepare_ds())
decide whether or not it needs to invalidate.

When a read to the preferred mirror returns an error, the flexfiles
driver records the error in the inode list and currently marks the
layout for return before failing over the attempted read to the next
mirror.
What we actually want to do is fire off a LAYOUTERROR to notify the
MDS that there is an issue with the preferred mirror, then we fail
over. Only once we've failed to read from all mirrors should we
return the layout.

If a layout segment gets invalidated while a pNFS I/O operation
is queued for transmission, then we ideally want to abort
immediately. This is particularly the case when there is a large
number of I/O related RPCs queued in the RPC layer, and the layout
segment gets invalidated due to an ENOSPC error, or an EACCES (because
the client was fenced). We may end up forced to spam the MDS with a
lot of otherwise unnecessary LAYOUTERRORs after that I/O fails.

A 'false retry' in NFSv4.1 occurs when the client attempts to transmit a
new RPC call using a slot+sequence number combination that references an
already cached one. Currently, the Linux NFS client will do this if a
user process interrupts an RPC call that is in progress.
The problem with doing so is that we defeat the main mechanism used by
the server to differentiate between a new call and a replayed one. Even
if the server is able to perfectly cache the arguments of the old call,
it cannot know if the client intended to replay or send a new call.
The obvious fix is to bump the sequence number pre-emptively if an
RPC call is interrupted, but in order to deal with the corner cases
where the interrupted call is not actually received and processed by
the server, we need to interpret the error NFS4ERR_SEQ_MISORDERED
as a sign that we need to either wait or locate a correct sequence
number that lies between the value we sent, and the last value that
was acked by a SEQUENCE call on that slot.

As the block and SCSI layouts can only read/write fixed-length
blocks, we must perform read-modify-write when data to be written is
not aligned to a block boundary or smaller than the block size.
(612aa983a0 pnfs: add flag to force read-modify-write in ->write_begin)
The current code tries to see if we have to do read-modify-write
on block-oriented pNFS layouts by just checking !PageUptodate(page),
but the same condition also applies for overwriting of any uncached
potions of existing files, making such operations excessively slow
even it is block-aligned.
The change does not affect the optimization for modify-write-read
cases (38c73044f5 NFS: read-modify-write page updating),
because partial update of !PageUptodate() pages can only happen
in layouts that can do arbitrary length read/write and never
in block-based ones.
Testing results:
We ran fio on one of the pNFS clients running 4.20 kernel
(vanilla and patched) in this configuration to read/write/overwrite
files on the storage array, exported as pnfs share by the server.

When listing very large directories via NFS, clients may take a long
time to complete. There are about three factors involved:
First of all, ls and practically every other method of listing a
directory including python os.listdir and find rely on libc readdir().
However readdir() only reads 32K of directory entries at a time, which
means that if you have a lot of files in the same directory, it is going
to take an insanely long time to read all the directory entries.
Secondly, libc readdir() reads 32K of directory entries at a time, in
kernel space 32K buffer split into 8 pages. One NFS readdirplus rpc will
be called for one page, which introduces many readdirplus rpc calls.
Lastly, one NFS readdirplus rpc asks for 32K data (filled by nfs_dentry)
to fill one page (filled by dentry), we found that nearly one third of
data was wasted.
To solve above problems, pagecache mechanism was introduced. One NFS
readdirplus rpc will ask for a large data (more than 32k), the data can
fill more than one page, the cached pages can be used for next readdir
call. This can reduce many readdirplus rpc calls and improve readdirplus
performance.
TESTING:
When listing very large directories(include 300 thousand files) via NFS
time ls -l /nfs_mount | wc -l
without the patch:
300001
real 1m53.524s
user 0m2.314s
sys 0m2.599s
with the patch:
300001
real 0m23.487s
user 0m2.305s
sys 0m2.558s
Improved performance: 79.6%
readdirplus rpc calls decrease: 85%

Because we clear XPRT_SOCK_DATA_READY before reading, we can end up
with a situation where new data arrives, causing xs_data_ready() to
queue up a second receive worker job for the same socket, which then
immediately gets stuck waiting on the transport receive mutex.
The fix is to only clear XPRT_SOCK_DATA_READY once we're done reading,
and then to use poll() to check if we might need to queue up a new
job in order to deal with any new data.
