hi,

http://review.gluster.org/#change,4358

are the changes I made to handle re-opens of files in the case where a disk is 
replaced while a brick is offline. The idea is to attempt re-opens after 
self-heal completes and the file could be opened. With these changes 
readv/fxattrop/writev/findelk for fds with remote-fd -1 are attempted using 
anon-fds and if the fop succeeds then the re-open is attempted for every 1024th 
success. 1024 is an arbitrary number I used. The re-open of files could fail 
because of posix lock re-acquisition failure, that is the reason re-opens are 
attempted periodically (for every 1024 successful fops on that fd).

I think the re-attempt logic could be better.
For instance, we can attempt re-open on the first success on anon-fd instead of 
waiting till 1024th success and if this re-open fails we could fall-back on 
'periodic attempts' i.e. for every 1024 successes on the anon-fd.

Let me know your thoughts.

Pranith
