[PATCH 1/2] pNFS: Don't keep retrying if the server replied NFS4ERR_LAYOUTUNAVAILABLE

[trondmy]

From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com>

If the server tells us that a pNFS layout is not available for a
specific file, then we should not keep pounding it with further
layoutget requests.

[PATCH 2/2] pNFS: Avoid a live lock condition in pnfs_update_layout()

[trondmy]

From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com>

If we're about to send the first layoutget for an empty layout, we want
to make sure that we drain out the existing pending layoutget calls
first. The reason is that these layouts may have been already implicitly
returned to the server by a recall to which the client gave a
NFS4ERR_NOMATCHING_LAYOUT response.

The problem is that wait_var_event_killable() could in principle see the
plh_outstanding count go back to '1' when the first process to wake up
starts sending a new layoutget. If it fails to get a layout, then this
loop can continue ad infinitum...
