Hi again,
 I posted a version of this patch 4 months and got no reply, so
 thought it might be time to try again.
 This version includes a small change to handle the case when a
 delegation stateid gets a BAD_STATEID, in the context of the open-owner
 getting a BAD_SEQID.
 Obviously this whole issue can only happen if the server is buggy (or
 if the client is buggy, but I don't think it is), but it would be best
 to handle that case gracefully.  Currently it spins indefinitely.

Thanks,
NeilBrown

Subject: [PATCH] NFS: Don't disconnect open-owner on NFS4ERR_BAD_SEQID

When an NFS4ERR_BAD_SEQID is received the open-owner is removed from
the ->state_owners rbtree so that it will no longer be used.

If any stateids attached to this open-owner are still in use, and if a
request using one get an NFS4ERR_BAD_STATEID reply, this can for bad.

The state is marked as needing recovery and the nfs4_state_manager()
is scheduled to clean up.  nfs4_state_manager() finds states to be
recovered by walking the state_owners rbtree.  As the open-owner is
not in the rbtree, the bad state is not found so nfs4_state_manager()
completes having done nothing.  The request is then retried, with a
predicatable result (indefinite retries).

This patch changes NFS4ERR_BAD_SEQID handling to leave the open-owner
in the rbtree but mark it a 'stale'.  With this the indefinite retries
no longer happen.  Errors get to user-space instead if recovery
doesn't work.

If the stateid is for a delegation, the result is more complex.
nfs4_state_manager() tries to return the delegation but uses the
open-owner with the bad seqid to open files on the server, and this
fails with more BAD_SEQID errors.  To avoid this we update the
so_seqid.create_time of the bad open-owner so that it looks to the server
like a new open-owner and an OPEN_CONFIRM is requested.  This allows
the return of the delagation to complete.

Hmm…. If you’re going to do this, then why mark the state_owner as stale at all? Why not just reset sp->so_seqid.flags and call nfs4_clear_open_state() to let the state recovery try to do what it can.
