In this particular instance, I'm dealing with a case where we may add<br>
some metadata in ceph that will get updated by the driver, and I need<br>
to know how I'm going to be called. I need to know whether e.g. I can<br>
expect that ensure_share will only be called once at a time per share,<br>
or whether it might be called multiple times in parallel, resulting in<br>
a need for me to do more synchronisation a lower level.<br>
<br>
This is more complicated than locking, because where we update more<br>
than one thing at a time we also have to deal with recovery (e.g.<br>
manila crashed halfway through updating something in ceph and now I'm<br>
recovering it), especially whether the places we do recovery will be<br>
called concurrently or not.<br>
<br>
My very favourite answer here would be a pointer to some<br>
documentation, but I'm guessing much this stuff is still at a "word of<br>
mouth" stage.<br>
