[LU-2727] op_bias flag enum is being abused

Thu, 9 Jan 2020 06:27:46 +0000

Looking at http://review.whamcloud.com/4341, it seems that the op_bias flags (e.g. MDS_CROSS_REF in lustre_idl.h) are being abused by various parts of the code. Firstly, the root cause is probably because this enum has no name or comment, so it has become a dumping ground for various flags. Some of them are only local for the MDS, such as MDS_RECOV_OPEN, MDS_KEEP_ORPHAN, MDS_PERM_BYPASS, etc. Some of them (e.g. MDS_SOM, MDS_QUOTA_IGNORE) are not used at all?
