Usually a single IO is confined to one group of devices
(group_width) and at the boundary of a raid group it can
spill into a second group. Current code would allocate a
full device_table size array at each io_state so it can
comply to requests that span two groups. Needless to say
that is very wasteful, specially when device_table count
can get very large (hundreds even thousands), while a
group_width is usually 8 or 10.
* Change ore API to trim on IO that spans two raid groups.
The user passes offset+length to ore_get_rw_state, the
ore might trim on that length if spanning a group boundary.
The user must check ios->length or ios->nrpages to see
how much IO will be preformed. It is the responsibility
of the user to re-issue the reminder of the IO.
* Modify exofs To copy spilled pages on to the next IO.
This means one last kick is needed after all coalescing
of pages is done.

In the pNFS obj-LD the device table at the layout level needs
to point to a device_cache node, where it is possible and likely
that many layouts will point to the same device-nodes.
In Exofs we have a more orderly structure where we have a single
array of devices that repeats twice for a round-robin view of the
device table
This patch moves to a model that can be used by the pNFS obj-LD
where struct ore_components holds an array of ore_dev-pointers.
(ore_dev is newly defined and contains a struct osd_dev *od
member)
Each pointer in the array of pointers will point to a bigger
user-defined dev_struct. That can be accessed by use of the
container_of macro.
In Exofs an __alloc_dev_table() function allocates the
ore_dev-pointers array as well as an exofs_dev array, in one
allocation and does the addresses dance to set everything pointing
correctly. It still keeps the double allocation trick for the
inodes round-robin view of the table.
The device table is always allocated dynamically, also for the
single device case. So it is unconditionally freed at umount.

The struct pnfs_osd_data_map data_map member of exofs_sb_info was

Also removed some stupid, but perfectly supported, restrictions on

ORE stands for "Objects Raid Engine"
This patch is a mechanical rename of everything that was in ios.c
and its API declaration to an ore.c and an osd_ore.h header. The ore
engine will later be used by the pnfs objects layout driver.
* File ios.c => ore.c
* Declaration of types and API are moved from exofs.h to a new
osd_ore.h
* All used types are prefixed by ore_ from their exofs_ name.
* Shift includes from exofs.h to osd_ore.h so osd_ore.h is
independent, include it from exofs.h.

will move the ore into it's own module and will export the API
to be used by exofs and later the layout driver

Exofs raid engine was saving on memory space by having a single layout-info,
single pid, and a single device-table, global to the filesystem. Then passing
a credential and object_id info at the io_state level, private for each
inode. It would also devise this contraption of rotating the device table
view for each inode->ino to spread out the device usage.
This is not compatible with the pnfs-objects standard, demanding that
each inode can have it's own layout-info, device-table, and each object
component it's own pid, oid and creds.
So: Bring exofs raid engine to be usable for generic pnfs-objects use by:
* Define an exofs_comp structure that holds obj_id and credential info.
* Break up exofs_layout struct to an exofs_components structure that holds a
possible array of exofs_comp and the array of devices + the size of the
arrays.
* Add a "comps" parameter to get_io_state() that specifies the ids creds
and device array to use for each IO.
This enables to keep the layout global, but the device-table view, creds
and IDs at the inode level. It only adds two 64bit to each inode, since
some of these members already existed in another form.
* ios raid engine now access layout-info and comps-info through the passed
pointers. Everything is pre-prepared by caller for generic access of
these structures and arrays.
At the exofs Level:
* Super block holds an exofs_components struct that holds the device
array, previously in layout. The devices there are in device-table
order. The device-array is twice bigger and repeats the device-table
twice so now each inode's device array can point to a random device
and have a round-robin view of the table, making it compatible to
previous exofs versions.
* Each inode has an exofs_components struct that is initialized at
load time, with it's own view of the device table IDs and creds.
When doing IO this gets passed to the io_state together with the
layout.
While preforming this change. Bugs where found where credentials with the
wrong IDs where used to access the different SB objects (super.c). As well
as some dead code. It was never noticed because the target we use does not
check the credentials.

In future raid code we will need to know the IO offset/length
and if it's a read or write to determine some of the array
sizes we'll need.
So add a new exofs_get_rw_state() API for use when
writeing/reading. All other simple cases are left using the
old way.
The major change to this is that now we need to call
exofs_get_io_state later at inode.c::read_exec and
inode.c::write_exec when we actually know these things. So this
patch is kept separate so I can test things apart from other
changes.

Since the beginning we realloced the sbi structure when a bigger
then one device table was specified. (I know that was really stupid).
Then much later when "register bdi" was added (By Jens) it was
registering the pointer to sbi->bdi before the realloc.
We never saw this problem because up till now the realloc did not
do anything since the device table was small enough to fit in the
original allocation. But once we starting testing with large device
tables (Bigger then 28) we noticed the crash of writeback operating
on a deallocated pointer.
* Avoid the all mess by allocating the device-table as a second array
and get rid of the variable-sized structure and the rest of this
mess.
* Take the chance to clean near by structures and comments.
* Add a needed dprint on startup to indicate the loaded layout.
* Also move the bdi registration to the very end because it will
only fail in a low memory, which will probably fail before hand.
There are many more likely causes to not load before that. This
way the error handling is made simpler. (Just doing this would be

Before when creating a new inode, we'd set the sb->s_dirt flag,
and sometime later the system would write out s_nextid as part
of the sb_info. Also on inode sync we would force the sb sync
as well.
Define the s_nextid as a new partition attribute and set it
every time we create a new object.
At mount we read it from it's new place.
We now never set sb->s_dirt anywhere in exofs. write_super
is actually never called. The call to exofs_write_super from
exofs_put_super is also removed because the VFS always calls
->sync_fs before calling ->put_super twice.
To stay backward-and-forward compatible we also write the old
s_nextid in the super_block object at unmount, and support zero
length attribute on mount.
This also fixes a BUG where in layouts when group_width was not
a divisor of EXOFS_SUPER_ID (0x10000) the s_nextid was not read
from the device it was written to. Because of the sliding window
layout trick, and because the read was always done from the 0
device but the write was done via the raid engine that might slide
the device view. Now we read and write through the raid engine.

It is incorrect to test inode dirty bits without participating in the inode
writeback protocol. Inode writeback sets I_SYNC and clears I_DIRTY_?, then
writes out the particular bits, then clears I_SYNC when it is done. BTW. it
may not completely write all pages out, so I_DIRTY_PAGES would get set
again.
This is a standard pattern used throughout the kernel's writeback caches
(I_SYNC ~= I_WRITEBACK, if that makes it clearer).
And so it is not possible to determine an inode's dirty status just by
checking I_DIRTY bits. Especially not for the purpose of data integrity
syncs.
Missing the check for these bits means that fsync can complete while
writeback to the inode is underway. Inode writeback functions get this
right, so call into them rather than try to shortcut things by testing
dirty state improperly.

RCU free the struct inode. This will allow:
- Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for
permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must.
- sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want
to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in
the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking.
- Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code
- Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the
page lock to follow page->mapping.
The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple
creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to
reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts
kicking over, this increases to about 20%.
In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated
during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is
not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller.
The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU,
however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking,
so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in
real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I
doubt it will be a problem.

exofs_new_inode() was incrementing the inode->i_count and

btrfs,hugetlbfs,logfs,dlmfs: explicitly clears ATTR_SIZE earlier

Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>
We used to compact all used devices in an IO to the beginning
of the device array in an io_state. And keep a last device used
so in later loops we don't iterate on all device slots. This
does not prevent us from checking if slots are empty since in
reads we only read from a single mirror and jump to the next
mirror-set.
This optimization is marginal, and needlessly complicates the
code. Specially when we will later want to support raid/456
with same abstract code. So remove the distinction between
"dev" and "comp". Only "dev" is used both as the device used
and as the index (component) in the device array.
[Note that now the io_state->dev member is redundant but I
keep it because I might want to optimize by only IOing a
single group, though keeping a group_width*mirrors devices
in io_state, we now keep num-devices in each io_state]

doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

If an object is referenced by a directory but does not
exist on a target, it is a very serious corruption that
means:
1. Either a power failure with very slim chance of it
happening. Because the directory update is always submitted
much after object creation, but if a directory is written
to one device and the object creation to another it might
theoretically happen.
2. It only ever happened to me while developing with BUGs
causing file corruption. Crashes could also cause it but
they are more like case 1.
In any way the object does not exist, so data is surely lost.
If there is a mix-up in the obj-id or data-map, then lost objects
can be salvaged by off-line fsck. The only recoverable information
is the directory name. By letting it appear as a regular empty file,
with date==0 (1970 Jan 1st) ownership to root, we enable recovery
of the only useful information. And also enable deletion or over-write.
I can see how this can hurt.

We now support striping over mirror devices. Including variable sized
stripe_unit.
Some limits:
* stripe_unit must be a multiple of PAGE_SIZE
* stripe_unit * stripe_count is maximum upto 32-bit (4Gb)
Tested RAID0 over mirrors, RAID0 only, mirrors only. All check.
Design notes:
* I'm not using a vectored raid-engine mechanism yet. Following the
pnfs-objects-layout data-map structure, "Mirror" is just a private
case of "group_width" == 1, and RAID0 is a private case of
"Mirrors" == 1. The performance lose of the general case over the
particular special case optimization is totally negligible, also
considering the extra code size.
* In general I added a prepare_stripes() stage that divides the
to-be-io pages to the participating devices, the previous
exofs_ios_write/read, now becomes _write/read_mirrors and a new
write/read upper layer loops on all devices calling
_write/read_mirrors. Effectively the prepare_stripes stage is the all
secret.
Also truncate need fixing to accommodate for striping.
* In a RAID0 arrangement, in a regular usage scenario, if all inode
layouts will start at the same device, the small files fill up the
first device and the later devices stay empty, the farther the device
the emptier it is.
To fix that, each inode will start at a different stripe_unit,
according to it's obj_id modulus number-of-stripe-units. And
will then span all stripe-units in the same incrementing order
wrapping back to the beginning of the device table. We call it
a stripe-units moving window.
Special consideration was taken to keep all devices in a mirror
arrangement identical. So a broken osd-device could just be cloned
from one of the mirrors and no FS scrubbing is needed. (We do that
by rotating stripe-unit at a time and not a single device at a time.)
TODO:
We no longer verify object_length == inode->i_size in exofs_iget.
(since i_size is stripped on multiple objects now).

* Layouts describe the way a file is spread on multiple devices.
The layout information is stored in the objects attribute introduced
in this patch.
* There can be multiple generating function for the layout.
Currently defined:
- No attribute present - use below moving-window on global
device table, all devices.
(This is the only one currently used in exofs)
- an obj_id generated moving window - the obj_id is a randomizing
factor in the otherwise global map layout.
- An explicit layout stored, including a data_map and a device
index list.
- More might be defined in future ...
* There are two attributes defined of the same structure:
A-data-files-layout - This layout is used by data-files. If present
at a directory, all files of that directory will
be created with this layout.
A-meta-data-layout - This layout is used by a directory and other
meta-data information. Also inherited at creation
of subdirectories.
* At creation time inodes are created with the layout specified above.
A usermode utility may change the creation layout on a give directory
or file. Which in the case of directories, will also apply to newly
created files/subdirectories, children of that directory.
In the simple unaltered case of a newly created exofs, no layout
attributes are present, and all layouts adhere to the layout specified
at the device-table.
* In case of a future file system loaded in an old exofs-driver.
At iget(), the generating_function is inspected and if not supported
will return an IO error to the application and the inode will not
be loaded. So not to damage any data.
Note: After this patch we do not yet support any type of layout
only the RAID0 patch that enables striping at the super-block
level will add support for RAID0 layouts above. This way we
are past and future compatible and fully bisectable.
* Access to the device table is done by an accessor since
it will change according to above information.

exofs uses simple_write_end() for it's .write_end handler. But
it is not enough because simple_write_end() does not call
mark_inode_dirty() when it extends i_size. So even if we do
call mark_inode_dirty at beginning of write out, with a very
long IO and a saturated system we might get the .write_inode()
called while still extend-writing to file and miss out on the last
i_size updates.
So override .write_end, call simple_write_end(), and afterwords if
i_size was changed call mark_inode_dirty().
It stands to logic that since simple_write_end() was the one extending
i_size it should also call mark_inode_dirty(). But it looks like all
users of simple_write_end() are memory-bound pseudo filesystems, who
could careless about mark_inode_dirty(). I might submit a
warning-comment patch to simple_write_end() in future.

Some on disk exofs constants and types are defined in the pnfs_osd_xdr.h
file. Since we needed these types before the pnfs-objects code was
accepted to mainline we duplicated the minimal needed definitions into
an exofs local header. The definitions where conditionally included
depending on !CONFIG_PNFS defined. So if PNFS was present in the tree
definitions are taken from there and if not they are defined locally.
That was all good but, the CONFIG_PNFS is planed to be included upstream
before the pnfs-objects is also included. (The first pnfs batch might be
pnfs-files only)
So condition exofs local definitions on the absence of pnfs_osd_xdr.h
inclusion (__PNFS_OSD_XDR_H__ not defined). User code must make sure
that in future pnfs_osd_xdr.h will be included before fs/exofs/pnfs.h,
which happens to be so in current code.
Once pnfs-objects hits mainline, exofs's local header will be removed.

This patch changes on-disk format, it is accompanied with a parallel
patch to mkfs.exofs that enables multi-device capabilities.
After this patch, old exofs will refuse to mount a new formatted FS and
new exofs will refuse an old format. This is done by moving the magic
field offset inside the FSCB. A new FSCB *version* field was added. In
the future, exofs will refuse to mount unmatched FSCB version. To
up-grade or down-grade an exofs one must use mkfs.exofs --upgrade option
before mounting.
Introduced, a new object that contains a *device-table*. This object
contains the default *data-map* and a linear array of devices
information, which identifies the devices used in the filesystem. This
object is only written to offline by mkfs.exofs. This is why it is kept
separate from the FSCB, since the later is written to while mounted.
Same partition number, same object number is used on all devices only
the device varies.
* define the new format, then load the device table on mount time make
sure every thing is supported.
* Change I/O engine to now support Mirror IO, .i.e write same data
to multiple devices, read from a random device to spread the
read-load from multiple clients (TODO: stripe read)
Implementation notes:
A few points introduced in previous patch should be mentioned here:
* Special care was made so absolutlly all operation that have any chance
of failing are done before any osd-request is executed. This is to
minimize the need for a data consistency recovery, to only real IO
errors.
* Each IO state has a kref. It starts at 1, any osd-request executed
will increment the kref, finally when all are executed the first ref
is dropped. At IO-done, each request completion decrements the kref,
the last one to return executes the internal _last_io() routine.
_last_io() will call the registered io_state_done. On sync mode a
caller does not supply a done method, indicating a synchronous
request, the caller is put to sleep and a special io_state_done is
registered that will awaken the caller. Though also in sync mode all
operations are executed in parallel.

In anticipation for multi-device operations, we separate osd operations
into an abstract I/O API. Currently only one device is used but later
when adding more devices, we will drive all devices in parallel according
to a "data_map" that describes how data is arranged on multiple devices.
The file system level operates, like before, as if there is one object
(inode-number) and an i_size. The io engine will split this to the same
object-number but on multiple device.
At first we introduce Mirror (raid 1) layout. But at the final outcome
we intend to fully implement the pNFS-Objects data-map, including
raid 0,4,5,6 over mirrored devices, over multiple device-groups. And
more. See: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-nfsv4-pnfs-obj-12
* Define an io_state based API for accessing osd storage devices
in an abstract way.
Usage:
First a caller allocates an io state with:
exofs_get_io_state(struct exofs_sb_info *sbi,
struct exofs_io_state** ios);
Then calles one of:
exofs_sbi_create(struct exofs_io_state *ios);
exofs_sbi_remove(struct exofs_io_state *ios);
exofs_sbi_write(struct exofs_io_state *ios);
exofs_sbi_read(struct exofs_io_state *ios);
exofs_oi_truncate(struct exofs_i_info *oi, u64 new_len);
And when done
exofs_put_io_state(struct exofs_io_state *ios);
* Convert all source files to use this new API
* Convert from bio_alloc to bio_kmalloc
* In io engine we make use of the now fixed osd_req_decode_sense

the two places inside exofs that where taking the BKL were:

Now exofs_sync_fs() is protected from itself by also taking

exofs_put_super() directly calls exofs_sync_fs() so there is no
danger between these two either.
In anyway there is absolutely nothing dangerous been done

rq->data_len served two purposes - the length of data buffer on issue
and the residual count on completion. This duality creates some
headaches.
First of all, block layer and low level drivers can't really determine
what rq->data_len contains while a request is executing. It could be
the total request length or it coulde be anything else one of the
lower layers is using to keep track of residual count. This
complicates things because blk_rq_bytes() and thus
[__]blk_end_request_all() relies on rq->data_len for PC commands.
Drivers which want to report residual count should first cache the
total request length, update rq->data_len and then complete the
request with the cached data length.
Secondly, it makes requests default to reporting full residual count,
ie. reporting that no data transfer occurred. The residual count is
an exception not the norm; however, the driver should clear
rq->data_len to zero to signify the normal cases while leaving it
alone means no data transfer occurred at all. This reverse default
behavior complicates code unnecessarily and renders block PC on some
drivers (ide-tape/floppy) unuseable.
This patch adds rq->resid_len which is used only for residual count.
While at it, remove now unnecessasry blk_rq_bytes() caching in
ide_pc_intr() as rq->data_len is not changed anymore.

implementation of the file_operations and inode_operations for
regular data files.
Most file_operations are generic vfs implementations except:
- exofs_truncate will truncate the OSD object as well
- Generic file_fsync is not good for none_bd devices so open code it
- The default for .flush in Linux is todo nothing so call exofs_fsync
on the file.

This patch includes osd infrastructure that will be used later by
the file system.
Also the declarations of constants, on disk structures,
and prototypes.
And the Kbuild+Kconfig files needed to build the exofs module.
