Currently, when GETDEVICEINFO returns multiple locations where each
is a different IP but the server's identity is same as MDS, then
nfs4_set_ds_client() finds the existing nfs_client structure which
has the MDS's max_connect value (and if it's 1), then the 1st IP
on the DS's list will get dropped due to MDS trunking rules. Other
IPs would be added as they fall under the pnfs trunking rules.
For the list of IPs the 1st goes thru calling nfs4_set_ds_client()
which will eventually call nfs4_add_trunk() and call into
rpc_clnt_test_and_add_xprt() which has the check for MDS trunking.
The other IPs (after the 1st one), would call rpc_clnt_add_xprt()
which doesn't go thru that check.
nfs4_add_trunk() is called when MDS trunking is happening and it
needs to enforce the usage of max_connect mount option of the
1st mount. However, this shouldn't be applied to pnfs flow.
Instead, this patch proposed to treat MDS=DS as DS trunking and
make sure that MDS's max_connect limit does not apply to the
1st IP returned in the GETDEVICEINFO list. It does so by
marking the newly created client with a new flag NFS_CS_PNFS
which then used to pass max_connect value to use into the
rpc_clnt_test_and_add_xprt() instead of the existing rpc
client's max_connect value set by the MDS connection.
For example, mount was done without max_connect value set
so MDS's rpc client has cl_max_connect=1. Upon calling into
rpc_clnt_test_and_add_xprt() and using rpc client's value,
the caller passes in max_connect value which is previously
been set in the pnfs path (as a part of handling
GETDEVICEINFO list of IPs) in nfs4_set_ds_client().
However, when NFS_CS_PNFS flag is not set and we know we
are doing MDS trunking, comparing a new IP of the same
server, we then set the max_connect value to the
existing MDS's value and pass that into
rpc_clnt_test_and_add_xprt().

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
