exofs: Support for RAID5 read-4-write interface.

2011-10-25T00:22:28Z

The ore need suplied a r4w_get_page/r4w_put_page API from Filesystem so it can get cache pages to read-into when writing parial stripes. Also I commented out and NULLed the .writepage (singular) vector. Because it gives terrible write pattern to raid and is apparently not needed. Even in OOM conditions the system copes (even better) with out it. TODO: How to specify to write_cache_pages() to start or include a certain page? Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh

ore/exofs: Change ore_check_io API

2011-10-14T16:54:42Z

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. Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh

ore/exofs: Define new ore_verify_layout

2011-10-14T16:54:41Z

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.

exofs: Support for short read/writes

2011-10-14T16:54:39Z

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. Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh

ore: Only IO one group at a time (API change)

2011-10-14T16:52:50Z

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. Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh

exofs: Rename struct ore_components comps => oc

2011-10-03T15:07:50Z

ore_components already has a comps member so this leads to things like comps->comps which is annoying. the name oc was already used in new code. So rename all old usage of ore_components comps => ore_components oc. Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh

exofs: Rename raid engine from exofs/ios.c => ore

2011-08-07T02:36:18Z

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 driver Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh

exofs: ios: Move to a per inode components & device-table

2011-08-07T02:35:32Z

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
