For loosely coupled pNFS/flexfiles systems, there is often no advantage
at all in going through the MDS for I/O, since the MDS is subject to
the same limitations as all other clients when talking to DSes. If a
DS is unresponsive, I/O through the MDS will fail.
For such systems, the only scalable solution is to have the pNFS clients
retry doing pNFS, and so the protocol now provides a flag that allows
the pNFS server to signal this.
If LAYOUTGET returns FF_FLAGS_NO_IO_THRU_MDS, then we should assume that
the MDS wants the client to retry using these devices, even if they were
previously marked as being unavailable. To do so, we add a helper,
ff_layout_mark_devices_valid() that will be called from layoutget.

If the pNFS/flexfiles file is mirrored, and a read to one mirror fails,
then we should bump the mirror index, so that we retry to a different
mirror. Once we've iterated through all mirrors and all failed, we can
return the layout and issue a new LAYOUTGET.

When I/O cannot complete due to a fatal error on the DS, ensure that we
invalidate the corresponding layout segment and return it.

Mirrors are now shared objects, so we should not be freeing them directly
inside ff_layout_free_lseg(). We should already be doing the right thing
in _ff_layout_free_lseg(), so just let it handle things.
Also ensure that ff_layout_free_mirror() frees the RPC credential if it
is set.

If the file was fenced and/or has been deleted on the DS, then we want
to retry pNFS after a layoutreturn with error report. If the server
cannot fix the problem, then we rely on it to tell us so in the
response to the LAYOUTGET.

In order to ensure atomicity of updates, we merge the old layout segments

This patch ensures that we record the value of 'ffl_flags' from
the layout, and then checks for the presence of the
FF_FLAGS_NO_LAYOUTCOMMIT flag before deciding whether or not to
call pnfs_set_layoutcommit().
The effect is that servers now can decide whether or not they want
the client to call layoutcommit before returning a writeable layout.

It fills in the generic part of LAYOUTSTATS call. One thing to note

The LAYOUTCOMMIT operation means different things to different layout types.
For blocks and objects, it is both a data and metadata consistency operation.
For files and flexfiles, it is only a metadata consistency operation.
This patch separates out the 2 cases, allowing the files/flexfiles layout
drivers to optimise away the data consistency calls to layoutcommit.

Pull backing device changes from Jens Axboe:
"This contains a cleanup of how the backing device is handled, in
preparation for a rework of the life time rules. In this part, the
most important change is to split the unrelated nommu mmap flags from
it, but also removing a backing_dev_info pointer from the
address_space (and inode), and a cleanup of other various minor bits.
Christoph did all the work here, I just fixed an oops with pages that
have a swap backing. Arnd fixed a missing export, and Oleg killed the
lustre backing_dev_info from staging. Last patch was from Al,
unexporting parts that are now no longer needed outside"
