pnfs-obj: Must return layout on IO error
commit fe0fe83585f88346557868a803a479dfaaa0688a upstream.
As mandated by the standard. In case of an IO error, a pNFS
objects layout driver must return it's layout. This is because
all device errors are reported to the server as part of the
layout return buffer.
This is implemented the same way PNFS_LAYOUTRET_ON_SETATTR
is done, through a bit flag on the pnfs_layoutdriver_type->flags
member. The flag is set by the layout driver that wants a
layout_return preformed at pnfs_ld_{write,read}_done in case
of an error.
(Though I have not defined a wrapper like pnfs_ld_layoutret_on_setattr
because this code is never called outside of pnfs.c and pnfs IO
paths)
Without this patch 3.[0-2] Kernels leak memory and have an annoying
WARN_ON after every IO error utilizing the pnfs-obj driver.
