Mike Snitzer f8e05df84b pnfs/flexfiles: retry getting layout segment for reads
commit eb3fabde15bccdf34f1c9b35a83aa4c0dacbb4ca upstream.

If ff_layout_pg_get_read()'s attempt to get a layout segment results
in -EAGAIN have ff_layout_pg_init_read() retry it after sleeping.

If "softerr" mount is used, use 'io_maxretrans' to limit the number of
attempts to get a layout segment.

This fixes a long-standing issue of O_DIRECT reads failing with
-EAGAIN (11) when using flexfiles Client Side Mirroring (CSM).

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
