This patch changes on-disk format, it is accompanied with a parallel
patch to mkfs.exofs that enables multi-device capabilities.
After this patch, old exofs will refuse to mount a new formatted FS and
new exofs will refuse an old format. This is done by moving the magic
field offset inside the FSCB. A new FSCB *version* field was added. In
the future, exofs will refuse to mount unmatched FSCB version. To
up-grade or down-grade an exofs one must use mkfs.exofs --upgrade option
before mounting.
Introduced, a new object that contains a *device-table*. This object
contains the default *data-map* and a linear array of devices
information, which identifies the devices used in the filesystem. This
object is only written to offline by mkfs.exofs. This is why it is kept
separate from the FSCB, since the later is written to while mounted.
Same partition number, same object number is used on all devices only
the device varies.
* define the new format, then load the device table on mount time make
sure every thing is supported.
* Change I/O engine to now support Mirror IO, .i.e write same data
to multiple devices, read from a random device to spread the
read-load from multiple clients (TODO: stripe read)
Implementation notes:
A few points introduced in previous patch should be mentioned here:
* Special care was made so absolutlly all operation that have any chance
of failing are done before any osd-request is executed. This is to
minimize the need for a data consistency recovery, to only real IO
errors.
* Each IO state has a kref. It starts at 1, any osd-request executed
will increment the kref, finally when all are executed the first ref
is dropped. At IO-done, each request completion decrements the kref,
the last one to return executes the internal _last_io() routine.
_last_io() will call the registered io_state_done. On sync mode a
caller does not supply a done method, indicating a synchronous
request, the caller is put to sleep and a special io_state_done is
registered that will awaken the caller. Though also in sync mode all
operations are executed in parallel.

In anticipation for multi-device operations, we separate osd operations
into an abstract I/O API. Currently only one device is used but later
when adding more devices, we will drive all devices in parallel according
to a "data_map" that describes how data is arranged on multiple devices.
The file system level operates, like before, as if there is one object
(inode-number) and an i_size. The io engine will split this to the same
object-number but on multiple device.
At first we introduce Mirror (raid 1) layout. But at the final outcome
we intend to fully implement the pNFS-Objects data-map, including
raid 0,4,5,6 over mirrored devices, over multiple device-groups. And
more. See: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-nfsv4-pnfs-obj-12
* Define an io_state based API for accessing osd storage devices
in an abstract way.
Usage:
First a caller allocates an io state with:
exofs_get_io_state(struct exofs_sb_info *sbi,
struct exofs_io_state** ios);
Then calles one of:
exofs_sbi_create(struct exofs_io_state *ios);
exofs_sbi_remove(struct exofs_io_state *ios);
exofs_sbi_write(struct exofs_io_state *ios);
exofs_sbi_read(struct exofs_io_state *ios);
exofs_oi_truncate(struct exofs_i_info *oi, u64 new_len);
And when done
exofs_put_io_state(struct exofs_io_state *ios);
* Convert all source files to use this new API
* Convert from bio_alloc to bio_kmalloc
* In io engine we make use of the now fixed osd_req_decode_sense
There are no functional changes or on disk additions after this patch.

Boaz,
Congrats on getting all the OSD stuff into 2.6.30!
I just pulled the git, and saw that the IBM copyrights are still there.
Please remove them from all files:
* Copyright (C) 2005, 2006
* International Business Machines
IBM has revoked all rights on the code - they gave it to me.
Thanks!

By popular demand, define usefull wrappers for osd_req_read/write
that recieve kernel pointers. All users had their own.
Also remove these from exofs

This patch includes osd infrastructure that will be used later by
the file system.
Also the declarations of constants, on disk structures,
and prototypes.
And the Kbuild+Kconfig files needed to build the exofs module.
