    NFSv4.1: add generic layer hooks for pnfs COMMIT · a861a1e1
    Fred Isaman 提交于
    We create three major hooks for the pnfs code.
    
    pnfs_mark_request_commit() is called during writeback_done from
    nfs_mark_request_commit, which gives the driver an opportunity to
    claim it wants control over commiting a particular req.
    
    pnfs_choose_commit_list() is called from nfs_scan_list
    to choose which list a given req should be added to, based on
    where we intend to send it for COMMIT.  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.
