NFS: create common nfs_pgio_header for both read and write

2012-04-27T18:10:37+00:00

In order to avoid duplicating all the data in nfs_read_data whenever we
split it up into multiple RPC calls (either due to a short read result
or due to rsize < PAGE_SIZE), we split out the bits that are the same
per RPC call into a separate "header" structure.

The goal this patch moves towards is to have a single header
refcounted by several rpc_data structures.  Thus, want to always refer
from rpc_data to the header, and not the other way.  This patch comes
close to that ideal, but the directio code currently needs some
special casing, isolated in the nfs_direct_[read_write]hdr_release()
functions.  This will be dealt with in a future patch.

pnfs-obj: autologin: Add support for protocol autologin

2012-03-21T13:31:47+00:00

The pnfs-objects protocol mandates that we autologin into devices not
present in the system, according to information specified in the
get_device_info returned from the server.

The Protocol specifies two login hints.
1. An IP address:port combination
2. A string URI which is constructed as a URL with a protocol prefix
   followed by :// and a string as address. For each  protocol prefix
   the string-address format might be different.

We only support the second option. The first option is just redundant
to the second one.
NOTE: The Kernel part of autologin does not parse the URI string. It
just channels it to a user-mode script. So any new login protocols should
only update the user-mode script which is a part of the nfs-utils package,
but the Kernel need not change.

We implement the autologin by using the call_usermodehelper() API.
(Thanks to Steve Dickson  for pointing it out)
So there is no running daemon needed, and/or special setup.

We Add the osd_login_prog Kernel module parameters which defaults to:
	/sbin/osd_login

Kernel try's to upcall the program specified in osd_login_prog. If the file is
not found or the execution fails Kernel will disable any farther upcalls, by
zeroing out  osd_login_prog, Until Admin re-enables it by setting the
osd_login_prog parameter to a proper program.

Also add text about the osd_login program command line API to:
	Documentation/filesystems/nfs/pnfs.txt
and documentation of the new  osd_login_prog  module parameter to:
	Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt

TODO: Add timeout option in the case osd_login program gets
              stuck

NFS: Fix a number of sparse warnings

2012-03-11T19:14:16+00:00

Fix a number of "warning: symbol 'foo' was not declared. Should it be
static?" conditions.

Fix 2 cases of "warning: Using plain integer as NULL pointer"

fs/nfs/delegation.c:263:31: warning: restricted fmode_t degrades to integer
  - We want to allow upgrades to a WRITE delegation, but should otherwise
    consider servers that hand out duplicate delegations to be borken.

pnfs-obj: pNFS errors are communicated on iodata->pnfs_error

2012-01-06T13:55:23+00:00

Some time along the way pNFS IO errors were switched to
communicate with a special iodata->pnfs_error member instead
of the regular RPC members. But objlayout was not switched
over.

Fix that!
Without this fix any IO error is hanged, because IO is not
switched to MDS and pages are never cleared or read.

pnfs-obj: Get rid of objlayout_{alloc,free}_io_state

2011-11-03T03:56:05+00:00

This is part of moving objio_osd to use the ORE.

objlayout_io_state had two functions:
1. It was used in the error reporting mechanism at layout_return.
   This function is kept intact.
   (Later patch will rename objlayout_io_state => objlayout_io_res)
2. Carrier of rw io members into the objio_read/write_paglist API.
   This is removed in this patch.

The {r,w}data received from NFS are passed directly to the
objio_{read,write}_paglist API. The io_engine is now allocating
it's own IO state as part of the read/write. The minimal
functionality that was part of the generic allocation is passed
to the io_engine.

So part of this patch is rename of:
	ios->ol_state.foo => ios->foo

At objlayout_{read,write}_done an objlayout_io_state is passed that
denotes the result of the IO. (Hence the later name change).
If the IO is successful objlayout calls an objio_free_result() API
immediately (Which for objio_osd causes the release of the io_state).
If the IO ended in an error it is hanged onto until reported in
layout_return and is released later through the objio_free_result()
API. (All this is not new just renamed and cleaned)

pnfs-obj: Return PNFS_NOT_ATTEMPTED in case of read/write_pagelist

2011-11-03T03:56:03+00:00

objlayout driver was always returning PNFS_ATTEMPTED from it's
read/write_pagelist operations. Even on error. Fix that.

Start by establishing an error return API from io-engine, by
not returning ssize_t (length-or-error) but returning "int"
0=OK, 0>Error. And clean up all return types in io-engine.

Then if io-engine returned error return PNFS_NOT_ATTEMPTED
to generic layer. (With a dprint)

pnfs-obj: Remove redundant EOF from objlayout_io_state

2011-11-03T03:56:00+00:00

The EOF calculation was done on .read_pagelist(), cached
in objlayout_io_state->eof, and set in objlayout_read_done()
into nfs_read_data->res.eof.

So set it directly into nfs_read_data->res.eof and avoid
the extra member.
