[PATCH 4.19 202/271] pnfs: Fix a problem where we gratuitously start doing I/O through the MDS

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Jul 25 2019 - 14:03:08 EST


From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 58bbeab425c6c5e318f5b6ae31d351331ddfb34b upstream.

If the client has to stop in pnfs_update_layout() to wait for another
layoutget to complete, it currently exits and defaults to I/O through
the MDS if the layoutget was successful.

Fixes: d03360aaf5cc ("pNFS: Ensure we return the error if someone kills...")
