| Description |
|
The LDLM_FL_CANCEL_ON_BLOCK flag was used by liblustre, but isn't used now. The comment on it sort of explains why - it's for clients that can't reply reliably to BL callbacks, which is sort of a disaster waiting to happen (or, not waiting, as the case may be). This should be removed - it's continued presence is confusing (at least to me!). |
