[Pvfs2-developers] PVFS_sys_release

[Sam Lang]

We declare PVFS_sys_release and PVFS_mgmt_release functions in our  
external headers.  Is there a good reason for us doing that?  My  
concern is that those release functions just do cleanup of the state  
machine pointers, but don't cancel any associated jobs that may have  
been posted.  Given that we don't actually use the operation ids to  
test for completed jobs (the test and testsome just end up calling  
test_context), allowing users to call PVFS_sys_release could cause  
nasty corruption.

pvfs2-client-core calls sys_release directly, but it calls other  
internal (PINT_*) functions as well, so making the release functions  
internal seems ok.

Incidentally, we don't actually provide a PVFS_sys_cancel, that does  
true cancellation of an isys request.  Should we?
