An NFS4ERR_RECALLCONFLICT is returned by server from a GET_LAYOUT
only when a Server Sent a RECALL do to that GET_LAYOUT, or
the RECALL and GET_LAYOUT crossed on the wire.
In any way this means we want to wait at most until in-flight IO
is finished and the RECALL can be satisfied.

So a proper wait here is more like 1/10 of a second, not 15 seconds
like we have now. In case of a server bug we delay exponentially
longer on each retry.

Current code totally craps out performance of very large files on
most pnfs-objects layouts, because of how the map changes when the
file has grown into the next raid group.

[Stable: This will patch back to 3.9. If there are earlier still
 maintained trees, please tell me I'll send a patch]

Hi Trond. Thanks

I've produced a bug in exofs to ever get stuck in NFS4ERR_RECALLCONFLICT
after the first one. And I see good exponential delay:

Jan 21 11:56:46 fc18-buml18 kernel: nfs4_layoutget_done: NFS4ERR_RECALLCONFLICT waiting 149
Jan 21 11:56:49 fc18-buml18 kernel: nfs4_layoutget_done: NFS4ERR_RECALLCONFLICT waiting 425
Jan 21 11:56:55 fc18-buml18 kernel: nfs4_layoutget_done: NFS4ERR_RECALLCONFLICT waiting 970
Jan 21 11:57:06 fc18-buml18 kernel: nfs4_layoutget_done: NFS4ERR_RECALLCONFLICT waiting 2069
Jan 21 11:57:28 fc18-buml18 kernel: nfs4_layoutget_done: NFS4ERR_RECALLCONFLICT waiting 1713
 
Now I wish the first one would start at 15 but I see a general delay in all operations on my
setup so for now I blame it on Ganesha and would imagine that nfs4_layoutget_done does not
usually returns after 149 Jiffis.

Is that what you meant?

BTW: Now I have a new problem that when time_after(giveup, jiffies) expires I get an EIO
at dd instead of write through MDS. Investigating ... wish me luck

Thanks
Boaz
