    nfsd: implement pNFS layout recalls · c5c707f9
    Christoph Hellwig authored
    Add support to issue layout recalls to clients.  For now we only support
    full-file recalls to get a simple and stable implementation.  This allows
    to embedd a nfsd4_callback structure in the layout_state and thus avoid
    any memory allocations under spinlocks during a recall.  For normal
    use cases that do not intent to share a single file between multiple
    clients this implementation is fully sufficient.
    
    To ensure layouts are recalled on local filesystem access each layout
    state registers a new FL_LAYOUT lease with the kernel file locking code,
    which filesystems that support pNFS exports that require recalls need
    to break on conflicting access patterns.
    
    The XDR code is based on the old pNFS server implementation by
    Andy Adamson, Benny Halevy, Boaz Harrosh, Dean Hildebrand, Fred Isaman,
    Marc Eshel, Mike Sager and Ricardo Labiaga.
