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.Other than a pure rename there are no other changes. Next patch
will move the ore into it's own module and will export the API
to be used by exofs and later the layout driverSigned-off-by: Boaz Harrosh

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.Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh

ios.c will be moving to an external library, for use by the
objects-layout-driver. Remove from it some exofs specific functions.Also g_attr_logical_length is used both by inode.c and ios.c
move definition to the later, to keep it independentSigned-off-by: Boaz Harrosh
-
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.Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh

In the general raid-group case the truncate was wrong in that
it did not also fix the object length of the neighboring groups.There are two bad cases in the old code:
1. Space that should be freed was not.
2. If a file That was big is truncated small, then made bigger
again, the holes would not contain zeros but could expose old data.
(If the growing of the file expands to more than a full
groups cycle + group size (> S + T))Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh

Small cleanup that unifies duplicated code used in both the
error and success casesSigned-off-by: Boaz Harrosh

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
enough to fix the BUG)Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh

Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called
in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and
the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers. Some
file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and
ocfs2. For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make
sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each
individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.

One leftover from the days of IBM's original code, is an SB counter
that counts in-flight asynchronous commands. And a piece of code that
waits for the counter to reach zero at unmount. I guess it might have
been needed then, cause of some reference missing or something.I'm not removing it yet but am putting a warning message if ever this
counter triggers at unmount. If I'll never see it triggers or reported
I'll remove the counter for good.
(I had this print as a debug output for a long time and never had it
trigger)Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh

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.Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh

If /dev/osd* devices are shuffled because more devices
where added, and/or login order has changed. It is hard to
mount the FS you want.Add an option to mount by osdname. osdname is any osd-device's
osdname as specified to the mkfs.exofs command when formatting
the osd-devices.
The new mount format is:
OPT="osdname=$UUID0,pid=$PID,_netdev"
mount -t exofs -o $OPT $DEV_OSD0 $MOUNTDIRif "osdname=" is specified in options above $DEV_OSD0 is
ignored and can be empty.Also while at it: Removed some old unused Opt_* enums.

* Set all inode->i_mapping->backing_dev_info to point to
the per super-block sb->s_bdi.* Calculating a read_ahead that is:
- preferable 2 stripes long
(Future patch will add a mount option to override this)
- Minimum 128K aligned up to stripe-size
- Caped to maximum-IO-sizes round down to stripe_size.
(Max sizes are governed by max bio-size that fits in a page
times number-of-devices)CC: Marc Dionne

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.Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin

This reverts commit 115e19c53501edc11f730191f7f047736815ae3d.
Apparently setting inode->bdi to one's own sb->s_bdi stops VFS from
sending *read-aheads*. This problem was bisected to this commit. A
revert fixes it. I'll investigate farther why is this happening for the
next Kernel, but for now a revert.I'm sending to stable@kernel.org as well, since it exists also in
2.6.37. 2.6.36 is good and does not have this patch.CC: Stable Tree

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.Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin

Add a new helper to write out the inode using the writeback code,
that is including the correct dirty bit and list manipulation. A few
of filesystems already opencode this, and a lot of others should be
using it instead of using write_inode_now which also writes out the
data.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

exofs_new_inode() was incrementing the inode->i_count and
decrementing it in create_done(), in a bad attempt to make sure
the inode will still be there when the asynchronous create_done()
finally arrives. This was very stupid because iput() was not called,
and if it was actually needed, it would leak the inode.However all this is not needed, because at exofs_evict_inode()
we already wait for create_done() by waiting for the
object_created event. Therefore remove the superfluous ref counting
and just Thicken the comment at exofs_evict_inode() a bit.While at it change places that open coded wait_obj_created()
to call the already available wrapper.CC: Dave Chinner

Though it has been promised that inode->i_mapping->backing_dev_info
is not used and the supporting code is fine. Until the pointer
will default to NULL, I'd rather it points to the correct thing
regardless.At least for future infrastructure coder it is a clear indication
of where are the key points that inodes are initialized.

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.CC: Nick Piggin

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 aboveIn addition to that ncpfs called inode_setattr with handcrafted iattrs,
which allowed to trim down the opencoded variant.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig
