When the client is reading or writing using pNFS, and hits an error on the DS, then it typically sends a LAYOUTERROR and/or LAYOUTRETURN to the MDS, before redirtying the failed pages, and going for a new round of reads/writebacks. The problem is that if the server has no way to fix the DS, then we may need a way to interrupt this loop after a set number of attempts have been made. This patch adds an optional module parameter that allows the admin to specify how many times to retry the read/writeback process before failing with a fatal error. The default behaviour is to retry forever. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com> Signed-off-by: Anna Schumaker <Anna.Schumaker@Netapp.com> |
