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. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com>
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.
