The current mirrored read failover code is correctly resetting the mirror
index between failed reads, however it is not able to actually flip the
RPC call over to the next RPC client.
The end result is that we keep resending the RPC call to the same client
over and over.
The fix is to use the pnfs_read_resend_pnfs() mechanism to schedule a
new RPC call, but we need to add the ability to pass in a mirror
index so that we always retry the next mirror in the list.

When the client is reading or writing using pNFS, and hits an error
on the DS, then it typically sends a LAYOUTERROR and/or LAYOUTRETURN
to the MDS, before redirtying the failed pages, and going for a new
round of reads/writebacks. The problem is that if the server has no
way to fix the DS, then we may need a way to interrupt this loop
after a set number of attempts have been made.
This patch adds an optional module parameter that allows the admin
to specify how many times to retry the read/writeback process before
failing with a fatal error.
The default behaviour is to retry forever.

In ff_layout_mirror_valid() we may not want to invalidate the layout
segment despite the call to GETDEVICEINFO failing. The reason is that
a read may still be able to make progress on another mirror.
So instead we let the caller (in this case nfs4_ff_layout_prepare_ds())
decide whether or not it needs to invalidate.

When a read to the preferred mirror returns an error, the flexfiles
driver records the error in the inode list and currently marks the
layout for return before failing over the attempted read to the next
mirror.
What we actually want to do is fire off a LAYOUTERROR to notify the
MDS that there is an issue with the preferred mirror, then we fail
over. Only once we've failed to read from all mirrors should we
return the layout.

If a layout segment gets invalidated while a pNFS I/O operation
is queued for transmission, then we ideally want to abort
immediately. This is particularly the case when there is a large
number of I/O related RPCs queued in the RPC layer, and the layout
segment gets invalidated due to an ENOSPC error, or an EACCES (because
the client was fenced). We may end up forced to spam the MDS with a
lot of otherwise unnecessary LAYOUTERRORs after that I/O fails.

SUNRPC has two sorts of credentials, both of which appear as
"struct rpc_cred".
There are "generic credentials" which are supplied by clients
such as NFS and passed in 'struct rpc_message' to indicate
which user should be used to authorize the request, and there
are low-level credentials such as AUTH_NULL, AUTH_UNIX, AUTH_GSS
which describe the credential to be sent over the wires.
This patch replaces all the generic credentials by 'struct cred'
pointers - the credential structure used throughout Linux.
For machine credentials, there is a special 'struct cred *' pointer
which is statically allocated and recognized where needed as
having a special meaning. A look-up of a low-level cred will
map this to a machine credential.
