From d0a381dd0eda1cc769a5762d0eed4d0d662219f2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "J. Bruce Fields" Date: Thu, 30 Jan 2014 17:18:38 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] nfsd4: teach encoders to handle reserve_space failures We've tried to prevent running out of space with COMPOUND_SLACK_SPACE and special checking in those operations (getattr) whose result can vary enormously. However: - COMPOUND_SLACK_SPACE may be difficult to maintain as we add more protocol. - BUG_ON or page faulting on failure seems overly fragile. - Especially in the 4.1 case, we prefer not to fail compounds just because the returned result came *close* to session limits. (Though perfect enforcement here may be difficult.) - I'd prefer encoding to be uniform for all encoders instead of having special exceptions for encoders containing, for example, attributes.
