    ceph: flush the mdlog before waiting on unsafe reqs · e1a4541e
    Xiubo Li authored
    For the client requests who will have unsafe and safe replies from
    MDS daemons, in the MDS side the MDS daemons won't flush the mdlog
    (journal log) immediatelly, because they think it's unnecessary.
    That's true for most cases but not all, likes the fsync request.
    The fsync will wait until all the unsafe replied requests to be
    safely replied.
    
    Normally if there have multiple threads or clients are running, the
    whole mdlog in MDS daemons could be flushed in time if any request
    will trigger the mdlog submit thread. So usually we won't experience
    the normal operations will stuck for a long time. But in case there
    has only one client with only thread is running, the stuck phenomenon
    maybe obvious and the worst case it must wait at most 5 seconds to
    wait the mdlog to be flushed by the MDS's tick thread periodically.
    
    This patch will trigger to flush the mdlog in the relevant and auth
    MDSes to which the in-flight requests are sent just before waiting
    the unsafe requests to finish.
