[lustre-devel] [PATCH 5/5] staging: lustre: mdc: use large xattr buffers for old servers

[James Simmons]

From: "John L. Hammond" <john.hammond at intel.com>

Pre 2.10.1 MDTs will crash when they receive a listxattr (MDS_GETXATTR
with OBD_MD_FLXATTRLS) RPC for an orphan or dead object. So for
clients connected to these older MDTs, try to avoid sending listxattr
RPCs by making the bulk getxattr (MDS_GETXATTR with OBD_MD_FLXATTRALL)
more likely to succeed and thereby reducing the chances of falling
back to listxattr.
