Fixed up pretty trivial conflicts in drivers/block/virtio_blk.c and
drivers/scsi/scsi_error.c as per Jens.
These changes are crafted based on the similar
conversion done to ext2 by Nick Piggin.
* Remove the deprecated ->truncate vector. Let exofs_setattr
take care of on-disk size updates.
* Call truncate_pagecache on the unused pages if
write_begin/end fails.
* Cleanup exofs_delete_inode that did stupid inode
writes and updates on an inode that will be
removed.
* And finally get rid of exofs_get_block. We never
had any blocks it was all for calling nobh_truncate_page.
nobh_truncate_page is not actually needed in exofs since
the last page is complete and gone, just like all the other
pages. There is no partial blocks in exofs.
I've tested with this patch, and there are no apparent
failures, so far.

Replace inode_setattr with opencoded variants of it in all callers. This
moves the remaining call to vmtruncate into the filesystem methods where it
can be replaced with the proper truncate sequence.
In a few cases it was obvious that we would never end up calling vmtruncate
so it was left out in the opencoded variant:
spufs: explicitly checks for ATTR_SIZE earlier
btrfs,hugetlbfs,logfs,dlmfs: explicitly clears ATTR_SIZE earlier
ufs: contains an opencoded simple_seattr + truncate that sets the filesize just above
In addition to that ncpfs called inode_setattr with handcrafted iattrs,
which allowed to trim down the opencoded variant.

missing in the requests: BIO_RW_UNPLUG and BIO_RW_AHEAD. Also I've

There is a bug when num_devices is not divisible by group_width * mirrors.
We would not return to the proper device and offset when looping on to the
next group.
The fix makes code simpler actually.
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]

As per Christoph advise: no need to call filemap_write_and_wait().
In exofs all metadata is at the inode so just writing the inode is
all is needed. ->fsync implies this must be done synchronously.
But now exofs_file_fsync can not be used by exofs_file_flush.
vfs_fsync() should do that job correctly.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
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.

After RAID0 patch the outer (input) bio was never used as a bio, but
was simply a page carrier into the raid engine. Even in the simple
mirror/single-dev arrangement pages info was copied into a second bio.
It is now easer to just pass a pages array into the io_state and prepare

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).
I should introduce a multiple-device attribute reading, and use
it in exofs_iget.

* 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.

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
