[lustre-devel] [PATCH 58/58] staging: lustre: ptlrpc: Early replies need to honor at_max

[James Simmons]

From: Chris Horn <hornc at cray.com>

When determining whether an early reply can be sent the server will
calculate the new deadline based on an offset from the request
arrival time. However, when actually setting the new deadline
the server offsets the current time. This can result in deadlines
being extended more than at_max seconds past the request arrival
time. Instead, the server should offset the arrival time when updating
its request timeout.

When a client receives an early reply it doesn't know the server side
arrival time so we use the original sent time as an approximation.
