osd client should ignore cache/overlay flag if got redirect reply.
Otherwise, the client hangs when the cache tier is in forward mode.

Hi Jerry,

Looks good (although the patch was whitespace damaged).  I've fixed
it up, but check out Documentation/process/email-clients.rst.

Also, out of curiosity, are you actually using the forward cache mode?

Thanks,

                Ilya

Thanks for sharing the doc!

No, we accidentally found the issue when removing a writeback cache.
The kernel client got blocked when the cache mode switched from
writeback to forward and waited for the cache pool to be flushed.

BTW, a warning (Error EPERM: 'forward' is not a well-supported cache
mode and may corrupt your data.) is shown when the cache mode is
changed to forward mode.  Does it mean that the data integrity and IO
ordering cannot be ensured in this mode?

Thanks!

Yes.  The problem with redirects is that they can mess up the order
of requests.  The forward mode is based on redirects and therefore
inherently flawed.

Use proxy and readproxy modes instead of forward and readforward.

Thanks,

Thanks for the clarification.  I refer to the mimic version
cache-tering configuration guide which states that forward mode is
configured when removing a writeback cache.  However, in the
up-to-date doc (master), proxy mode is recommended.  I'll use proxy
mode instead.

Thanks,
