+ * nfs4_ff_layout_prepare_ds - prepare a DS connection for an RPC call
+ * @lseg: the layout segment we're operating on
+ * @ds_idx: index of the DS to use
+ * @fail_return: return layout on connect failure?
+ *
+ * Try to prepare a DS connection to accept an RPC call. This involves
+ * selecting a mirror to use and connecting the client to it if it's not
+ * already connected.
+ *
+ * Since we only need a single functioning mirror to satisfy a read, we don't
+ * want to return the layout if there is one. For writes though, any down
+ * mirror should result in a LAYOUTRETURN. @fail_return is how we distinguish
+ * between the two cases.
+ *
+ * Returns a pointer to a connected DS object on success or NULL on failure.
