RFC 7862 Section 4.8 states: > A copy offload stateid will be valid until either (A) the client > or server restarts or (B) the client returns the resource by > issuing an OFFLOAD_CANCEL operation or the client replies to a > CB_OFFLOAD operation. Currently, NFSD purges the metadata for an async COPY operation as soon as the CB_OFFLOAD callback has been sent. It does not wait even for the client's CB_OFFLOAD response, as the paragraph above suggests that it should. This makes the OFFLOAD_STATUS operation ineffective during the window between the completion of an asynchronous COPY and the server's receipt of the corresponding CB_OFFLOAD response. This is important if, for example, the client responds with NFS4ERR_DELAY, or the transport is lost before the server receives the response. A client might use OFFLOAD_STATUS to query the server about the still pending asynchronous COPY, but NFSD will respond to OFFLOAD_STATUS as if it had never heard of the presented copy stateid. This patch starts to address this issue by extending the lifetime of struct nfsd4_copy at least until the server has seen the client's CB_OFFLOAD response, or the CB_OFFLOAD has timed out.

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 reStructuredText 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.
