Well, it is what it is.  Pretty durn old, and never used in nfs-ganesha, I 
don't believe.

This seems potentially a useful improvement, I wold say, so that provides some 
positive motivation for gc'ing the legacy cache stuff, I guess.

It *is* the codepaths called by Ganesha:

svc_dg_recv(struct svc_req *req)
{
[...]
 req->rq_cksum =
#if 1
 CityHash64WithSeed(iov.iov_base, MIN(256, iov.iov_len), 103);
#else
 calculate_crc32c(0, iov.iov_base, MIN(256, iov.iov_len));
#endif

 if (su->su_cache != NULL) {
 if (svc_dg_cache_get(xprt, >rq_msg, , )) {

[...]

svc_dg_reply(struct svc_req *req)
{
[...]
 if (sendmsg(xprt->xp_fd, msg, 0) == (ssize_t) slen) {
 stat = true;
 if (su->su_cache)
 svc_dg_cache_set(xprt, slen,
  req->rq_msg.rm_xid);
 }

It probably should stay.  ntirpc is intended to be useful to more than 
Ganesha, and this seems like a useful feature for potential users.  It's 
not the codepaths called by Ganesha, so it doesn't cause any problems.

Hi Bill,

As I explained in detail, this code path is used in svc_run, but nfs-ganesha 
doesn't use it.

[Nfs-ganesha-devel] UDP duplicate cache in both Ganesha and ntirpc?

2017-03-09 Thread William Allen Simpson
Anybody have any objections to my removing the ntirpc version?

Clearly, this is done in RPCAL/nfs_duprec.c, so why is it also in
libntirpc/src/svc_dg.c?

According to blame, Matt, Malahal, and Frank have all worked on this,
but not since early 2015.
