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 =&gt; 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

<title>exofs: ios: Move to a per inode components &amp; device-table</title>

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-&gt;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.

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 independent

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.

<title>exofs: Fix truncate for the raid-groups case</title>

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 (&gt; S + T))

<title>exofs: BUG: Avoid sbi realloc</title>

<id>6d4073e88132259485ef1b2c88daa5e50c95789c</id>
<content type='text'>
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-&gt;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)
