Comments (indicate scope for each "y" above):
---------------------------------------------
In order to protect the log server "main thread" (MT) from hanging if a file 
operation
like write, mkdir etc. does not return, all such operations are done in a 
separate
"file thread" (FT).
Functions running in the "Main Thread" (MT) that needs file system operations
handle over the execution to the FT when file handling has to be done. Execution
is then given back to the MT again. If a file operation does not return FT will 
hang but
MT will time out the FT and resume. A timeout will be handled as a file 
operation fail.
The MT can detect if the FT is hanging and new requests for file operations 
will be "failed".

Note1: This is an add on to the patches sent out in prevoius review requests.
Note2: The last patch (part 11); The non block handling of log files that was 
suggested by Madhurika
       is contained in its' own patch.

        logsv: Fix hanging main thread when file i/o don't return. [#9]. Part 9

        - Remove unnecessary data copying in log_file_api() and 
file_hndl_thread()
        - Return SA_AIS_ERR_TIMEOUT if the write operation time out when a log
        record shall be written. If the file thread is already "hanging" when a
        write is requested no attempt to write is made and SA_AIS_ERR_TRY_AGAIN 
is
        returned as before.
        - Try to recover file thread by recreating it if it hangs for a long 
time.
        - Recover if bad file descriptor or stale NFS handle.

        logsv: Fix hanging main thread when file i/o don't return. [#9]. Part 10

        - Always reinitialize/reopen log files if a write operation fails, 
timeout
        of file thread (hanging file system) included.
        - Handle synchronization between nodes when log files cannot be created 
before
        a switch over without using any new flag that has to be checkpointed
        (remove "files_initialized" flag)
        - Incorrect handling of "partial write" is fixed. See #536

Reviewer Checklist:
-------------------
[Submitters: make sure that your review doesn't trigger any checkmarks!]


Your checkin has not passed review because (see checked entries):

___ Your RR template is generally incomplete; it has too many blank entries
    that need proper data filled in.

___ You have failed to nominate the proper persons for review and push.

___ Your patches do not have proper short+long header

___ You have grammar/spelling in your header that is unacceptable.

___ You have exceeded a sensible line length in your headers/comments/text.

___ You have failed to put in a proper Trac Ticket # into your commits.

___ You have incorrectly put/left internal data in your comments/files
    (i.e. internal bug tracking tool IDs, product names etc)

___ You have not given any evidence of testing beyond basic build tests.
    Demonstrate some level of runtime or other sanity testing.

___ You have ^M present in some of your files. These have to be removed.

___ You have needlessly changed whitespace or added whitespace crimes
    like trailing spaces, or spaces before tabs.

___ You have mixed real technical changes with whitespace and other
    cosmetic code cleanup changes. These have to be separate commits.

___ You need to refactor your submission into logical chunks; there is
    too much content into a single commit.

___ You have extraneous garbage in your review (merge commits etc)

___ You have giant attachments which should never have been sent;
    Instead you should place your content in a public tree to be pulled.

___ You have too many commits attached to an e-mail; resend as threaded
    commits, or place in a public tree for a pull.

___ You have resent this content multiple times without a clear indication
    of what has changed between each re-send.

___ You have failed to adequately and individually address all of the
    comments and change requests that were proposed in the initial review.

___ You have a misconfigured ~/.hgrc file (i.e. username, email etc)

___ Your computer have a badly configured date and time; confusing the
    the threaded patch review.

___ Your changes affect IPC mechanism, and you don't present any results
    for in-service upgradability test.

___ Your changes affect user manual and documentation, your patch series
    do not contain the patch that updates the Doxygen manual.
