pNFS: Ensure LAYOUTGET and LAYOUTRETURN are properly serialised
commit bf0291dd upstream. According to RFC5661, the client is responsible for serialising LAYOUTGET and LAYOUTRETURN to avoid ambiguity. Consider the case where we send both in parallel. Client Server ====== ====== LAYOUTGET(seqid=X) LAYOUTRETURN(seqid=X) LAYOUTGET return seqid=X+1 LAYOUTRETURN return seqid=X+2 Process LAYOUTRETURN Forget layout stateid Process LAYOUTGET Set seqid=X+1 The client processes the layoutget/layoutreturn in the wrong order, and since the result of the layoutreturn was to clear the only existing layout segment, the client forgets the layout stateid. When the LAYOUTGET comes in, it is treated as having a completely new stateid, and so the client sets the wrong sequence id... Fix is to check if there are outstanding LAYOUTGET requests before we send the LAYOUTRETURN (note that LAYOUGET will already wait if it sees an outstanding LAYOUTRETURN).
