It is very common for the end of the file to be unaligned on
stripe size. But since we know it's beyond file's end then
the XOR should be preformed with all zeros.
Old code used to just read zeros out of the OSD devices, which is a great
waist. But what scares me more about this situation is that, we now have
pages attached to the file's mapping that are beyond i_size. I don't
like the kind of bugs this calls for.
Fix both birds, by returning a global ZERO_PAGE, if offset is beyond
i_size.

Exofs has the '->write_super()' handler and makes some use of the '->s_dirt'
superblock flag, but it really needs neither of them because it never sets
's_dirt' to one which means the VFS never calls its '->write_super()' handler.
Thus, remove both.
Note, I am trying to remove both 's_dirt' and 'write_super()' from VFS
altogether once all users are gone.

readpage_strip can be called from several code paths all of which
require that the page be locked before any operations are carried
out.
Since we export the exofs_readpage callback to the VFS, add a
BUG_ON to check for PageLocked(page) to make sure that this
understanding is never compromised.

Pull the big VFS changes from Al Viro:
"This one is *big* and changes quite a few things around VFS. What's in there:
- the first of two really major architecture changes - death to open
intents.
The former is finally there; it was very long in making, but with
Miklos getting through really hard and messy final push in
fs/namei.c, we finally have it. Unlike his variant, this one
doesn't introduce struct opendata; what we have instead is
->atomic_open() taking preallocated struct file * and passing
everything via its fields.
Instead of returning struct file *, it returns -E... on error, 0
on success and 1 in "deal with it yourself" case (e.g. symlink
found on server, etc.).
See comments before fs/namei.c:atomic_open(). That made a lot of
goodies finally possible and quite a few are in that pile:
->lookup(), ->d_revalidate() and ->create() do not get struct
nameidata * anymore; ->lookup() and ->d_revalidate() get lookup
flags instead, ->create() gets "do we want it exclusive" flag.
With the introduction of new helper (kern_path_locked()) we are rid
of all struct nameidata instances outside of fs/namei.c; it's still
visible in namei.h, but not for long. Come the next cycle,
declaration will move either to fs/internal.h or to fs/namei.c
itself. [me, miklos, hch]
- The second major change: behaviour of final fput(). Now we have
__fput() done without any locks held by caller *and* not from deep
in call stack.
That obviously lifts a lot of constraints on the locking in there.
Moreover, it's legal now to call fput() from atomic contexts (which
has immediately simplified life for aio.c). We also don't need
anti-recursion logics in __scm_destroy() anymore.
There is a price, though - the damn thing has become partially
asynchronous. For fput() from normal process we are guaranteed
that pending __fput() will be done before the caller returns to
userland, exits or gets stopped for ptrace.
For kernel threads and atomic contexts it's done via
schedule_work(), so theoretically we might need a way to make sure
it's finished; so far only one such place had been found, but there
might be more.
There's flush_delayed_fput() (do all pending __fput()) and there's
__fput_sync() (fput() analog doing __fput() immediately). I hope
we won't need them often; see warnings in fs/file_table.c for
details. [me, based on task_work series from Oleg merged last
cycle]
- sync series from Jan
- large part of "death to sync_supers()" work from Artem; the only
bits missing here are exofs and ext4 ones. As far as I understand,
those are going via the exofs and ext4 trees resp.; once they are
in, we can put ->write_super() to the rest, along with the thread
calling it.
- preparatory bits from unionmount series (from dhowells).
- assorted cleanups and fixes all over the place, as usual.
This is not the last pile for this cycle; there's at least jlayton's
ESTALE work and fsfreeze series (the latter - in dire need of fixes,
so I'm not sure it'll make the cut this cycle). I'll probably throw
symlink/hardlink restrictions stuff from Kees into the next pile, too.
Plus there's a lot of misc patches I hadn't thrown into that one -
it's large enough as it is..."

The read-4-write pages are locked in address ascending order.
But where unlocked in a way easiest for coding. Fix that,
locks should be released in opposite order of locking, .i.e
descending address order.
I have not hit this dead-lock. It was found by inspecting the
dbug print-outs. I suspect there is an higher lock at caller that
protects us, but fix it regardless.

Do to OOM situations the ore might fail to allocate all resources
needed for IO of the full request. If some progress was possible
it would proceed with a partial/short request, for the sake of
forward progress.
Since this crashes NFS-core and exofs is just fine without it just
remove this contraption, and fail.

In RAID_5/6 We used to not permit an IO that it's end
byte is not stripe_size aligned and spans more than one stripe.
.i.e the caller must check if after submission the actual
transferred bytes is shorter, and would need to resubmit
a new IO with the remainder.
Exofs supports this, and NFS was supposed to support this
as well with it's short write mechanism. But late testing has
exposed a CRASH when this is used with none-RPC layout-drivers.
The change at NFS is deep and risky, in it's place the fix
at ORE to lift the limitation is actually clean and simple.
So here it is below.
The principal here is that in the case of unaligned IO on
both ends, beginning and end, we will send two read requests
one like old code, before the calculation of the first stripe,
and also a new site, before the calculation of the last stripe.
If any "boundary" is aligned or the complete IO is within a single
stripe. we do a single read like before.
The code is clean and simple by splitting the old _read_4_write
into 3 even parts:
1._read_4_write_first_stripe
2. _read_4_write_last_stripe
3. _read_4_write_execute
And calling 1+3 at the same place as before. 2+3 before last
stripe, and in the case of all in a single stripe then 1+2+3
is preformed additively.
Why did I not think of it before. Well I had a strike of
genius because I have stared at this code for 2 years, and did
not find this simple solution, til today. Not that I did not try.
This solution is much better for NFS than the previous supposedly
solution because the short write was dealt with out-of-band after
IO_done, which would cause for a seeky IO pattern where as in here
we execute in order. At both solutions we do 2 separate reads, only
here we do it within a single IO request. (And actually combine two
writes into a single submission)
NFS/exofs code need not change since the ORE API communicates the new
shorter length on return, what will happen is that this case would not
occur anymore.
hurray!!

Each OSD target shows up as below in the sysfs hierarchy:
/sys/fs/exofs/<osdname>_<partition_id>/devX
Where <osdname>_<partition_id> is the unique identification
of a Superblock.
Where devX: 0 <= X < device_table_size. They are ordered
in device-table order as specified to the mkfs.exofs command
Each OSD device devX has following attributes :
osdname - ReadOnly
systemid - ReadOnly
uri - Read/Write
It is up to user-mode to update devX/uri for support of
autologin.
These sysfs information are used both for autologin as well
as support for exporting exofs via a pNFSD server in user-mode.

do to any error, like an IO error while reading the

This is because sbi->oc.numdevs was set to 1, before
we actually have a device table at all.

When reading RAID5 files, in rare cases, we calculated too
few sg segments. There should be two extra for the beginning

Also "too few sg segments" should not be a BUG_ON there is
all the mechanics in place to handle it, as a short read.
So just return -ENOMEM and the rest of the code will gracefully

When MISC_FILESYSTEMS, which is more of a GUI thing then anything else,

and it can not do it's magic stuff to automatically select everything

We must split exofs/Kconfig in two. The ore one is always included.
And the exofs one is left in it's old place in the menu.

In this patch we are actually moving to the ORE.
(Object Raid Engine).
objio_state holds a pointer to an ore_io_state. Once
we have an ore_io_state at hand we can call the ore
for reading/writing. We register on the done path
to kick off the nfs io_done mechanism.
Again for Ease of reviewing the old code is "#if 0"
but is not removed so the diff command works better.
The old code will be removed in the next patch.

if PNFS_OBJLAYOUT is set. Since we now depend on ORE.

This is finally the RAID5 Write support.
The bigger part of this patch is not the XOR engine itself, But the
read4write logic, which is a complete mini prepare_for_striping
reading engine that can read scattered pages of a stripe into cache
so it can be used for XOR calculation. That is, if the write was not
stripe aligned.
The main algorithm behind the XOR engine is the 2 dimensional array:
struct __stripe_pages_2d.
A drawing might save 1000 words
---
__stripe_pages_2d
|
n = pages_in_stripe_unit;
w = group_width - parity;
| pages array presented to the XOR lib
| |
V |
__1_page_stripe[0].pages --> [c0][c1]..[cw][c_par] <---|
| |
__1_page_stripe[1].pages --> [c0][c1]..[cw][c_par] <---
|
... | ...
|
__1_page_stripe[n].pages --> [c0][c1]..[cw][c_par]
^
|
data added columns first then row
---
The pages are put on this array columns first. .i.e:
p0-of-c0, p1-of-c0, ... pn-of-c0, p0-of-c1, ...
So we are doing a corner turn of the pages.
Note that pages will zigzag down and left. but are put sequentially
in growing order. So when the time comes to XOR the stripe, only the
beginning and end of the array need be checked. We scan the array
and any NULL spot will be field by pages-to-be-read.
The FS that wants to support RAID5 needs to supply an
operations-vector that searches a given page in cache, and specifies
if the page is uptodate or need reading. All these pages to be read
are put on a slave ore_io_state and synchronously read. All the pages
of a stripe are read in one IO, using the scatter gather mechanism.
In write we constrain our IO to only be incomplete on a single
stripe. Meaning either the complete IO is within a single stripe so
we might have pages to read from both beginning or end of the
strip. Or we have some reading to do at beginning but end at strip
boundary. The left over pages are pushed to the next IO by the API
already established by previous work, where an IO offset/length
combination presented to the ORE might get the length truncated and
the user must re-submit the leftover pages. (Both exofs and NFS
support this)
But any ORE user should make it's best effort to align it's IO
before hand and avoid complications. A cached ore_layout->stripe_size
member can be used for that calculation. (NOTE: that ORE demands
that stripe_size may not be bigger then 32bit)
What else? Well read it and tell me.

This patch introduces the first stage of RAID5 support
mainly the skip-over-raid-units when reading. For
writes it inserts BLANK units, into where XOR blocks
should be calculated and written to.
It introduces the new "general raid maths", and the main
additional parameters and components needed for raid5.
Since at this stage it could corrupt future version that
actually do support raid5. The enablement of raid5
mounting and setting of parity-count > 0 is disabled. So
the raid5 code will never be used. Mounting of raid5 is
only enabled later once the basic XOR write is also in.
But if the patch "enable RAID5" is applied this code has
been tested to be able to properly read raid5 volumes
and is according to standard.
Also it has been tested that the new maths still properly
supports RAID0 and grouping code just as before.
(BTW: I have found more bugs in the pnfs-obj RAID math
fixed here)
The ore.c file is getting too big, so new ore_raid.[hc]
files are added that will include the special raid stuff
that are not used in striping and mirrors. In future write
support these will get bigger.
When adding the ore_raid.c to Kbuild file I was forced to
rename ore.ko to libore.ko. Is it possible to keep source
file, say ore.c and module file ore.ko the same even if there
are multiple files inside ore.ko?

ore_calc_stripe_info is needed by exofs::export.c
for the layout calculations. Make it exportable

Current ore_check_io API receives a residual
pointer, to report partial IO. But it is actually
not used, because in a multiple devices IO there
is never a linearity in the IO failure.
On the other hand if every failing device is reported
through a received callback measures can be taken to
handle only failed devices. One at a time.
This will also be needed by the objects-layout-driver
for it's error reporting facility.
Exofs is not currently using the new information and
keeps the old behaviour of failing the complete IO in
case of an error. (No partial completion)
TODO: Use an ore_check_io callback to set_page_error only
the failing pages. And re-dirty write pages.

All users of the ore will need to check if current code
supports the given layout. For example RAID5/6 is not
currently supported.
So move all the checks from exofs/super.c to a new
ore_verify_layout() to be used by ore users.
Note that any new layout should be passed through the
ore_verify_layout() because the ore engine will prepare
and verify some internal members of ore_layout, and
assumes it's called.

Users like the objlayout-driver would like to only pass
a partial device table that covers the IO in question.
For example exofs divides the file into raid-group-sized
chunks and only serves group_width number of devices at
a time.
The partiality is communicated by setting
ore_componets->first_dev and the array covers all logical
devices from oc->first_dev upto (oc->first_dev + oc->numdevs)
The ore_comp_dev() API receives a logical device index
and returns the actual present device in the table.
An out-of-range dev_index will BUG.
Logical device index is the theoretical device index as if
all the devices of a file are present. .i.e:
total_devs = group_width * mirror_p1 * group_count
0 <= dev_index < total_devs

Memory conditions and max_bio constraints might cause us to
not comply to the full length of the requested IO. Instead of
failing the complete IO we can issue a shorter read/write and
report how much was actually executed in the ios->length
member.
All users must check ios->length at IO_done or upon return of
ore_read/write and re-issue the reminder of the bytes. Because
other wise there is no error returned like before.
This is part of the effort to support the pnfs-obj layout driver.

If at read/write_done the actual IO was shorter then requested,
reported in returned ios->length. It is not an error. The reminder
of the pages should just be unlocked but not marked uptodate or
end_page_writeback. They will be re issued later by the VFS.

Move the check and preparation of the ios->kern_buff case to
later inside _write_mirror().
Since read was never used with ios->kern_buff its support is removed
instead of fixed.

Now that each ore_io_state covers only a single raid group.
A single striping_info math is needed. Embed one inside
ore_io_state to cache the calculation results and eliminate
an extra call.
Also the outer _prepare_for_striping is removed since it does nothing.
