The original idea was that a mirror read can be sub-divided
to multiple devices. But this has very little gain and only
at very large IOes so it's not going to be implemented soon.

exofs uses simple_write_end() for it's .write_end handler. But
it is not enough because simple_write_end() does not call
mark_inode_dirty() when it extends i_size. So even if we do
call mark_inode_dirty at beginning of write out, with a very
long IO and a saturated system we might get the .write_inode()
called while still extend-writing to file and miss out on the last
i_size updates.
So override .write_end, call simple_write_end(), and afterwords if
i_size was changed call mark_inode_dirty().
It stands to logic that since simple_write_end() was the one extending
i_size it should also call mark_inode_dirty(). But it looks like all
users of simple_write_end() are memory-bound pseudo filesystems, who
could careless about mark_inode_dirty(). I might submit a
warning-comment patch to simple_write_end() in future.

Some on disk exofs constants and types are defined in the pnfs_osd_xdr.h
file. Since we needed these types before the pnfs-objects code was
accepted to mainline we duplicated the minimal needed definitions into
an exofs local header. The definitions where conditionally included
depending on !CONFIG_PNFS defined. So if PNFS was present in the tree
definitions are taken from there and if not they are defined locally.
That was all good but, the CONFIG_PNFS is planed to be included upstream
before the pnfs-objects is also included. (The first pnfs batch might be
pnfs-files only)
So condition exofs local definitions on the absence of pnfs_osd_xdr.h
inclusion (__PNFS_OSD_XDR_H__ not defined). User code must make sure
that in future pnfs_osd_xdr.h will be included before fs/exofs/pnfs.h,
which happens to be so in current code.
Once pnfs-objects hits mainline, exofs's local header will be removed.

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.

the two places inside exofs that where taking the BKL were:
exofs_put_super() - .put_super
and
exofs_sync_fs() - which is .sync_fs and is also called from
.write_super.
Now exofs_sync_fs() is protected from itself by also taking
the sb_lock.
exofs_put_super() directly calls exofs_sync_fs() so there is no
danger between these two either.
In anyway there is absolutely nothing dangerous been done
inside exofs_sync_fs().
Unless there is some subtle race with the actual lifetime of
the super_block in regard to .put_super and some other parts
of the VFS. Which is highly unlikely.

We just did a full fs writeout using sync_filesystem before, and if
that's not enough for the filesystem it can perform it's own writeout
in ->put_super, which many filesystems already do.
Move a call to foofs_write_super into every foofs_put_super for now to
guarantee identical behaviour until it's cleaned up by the individual
filesystem maintainers.
Exceptions:
- affs already has identical copy & pasted code at the beginning of
affs_put_super so no need to do it twice.
- xfs does the right thing without it and I have changes pending for
the xfs tree touching this are so I don't really need conflicts

rq->data_len served two purposes - the length of data buffer on issue
and the residual count on completion. This duality creates some
headaches.
First of all, block layer and low level drivers can't really determine
what rq->data_len contains while a request is executing. It could be
the total request length or it coulde be anything else one of the
lower layers is using to keep track of residual count. This
complicates things because blk_rq_bytes() and thus
[__]blk_end_request_all() relies on rq->data_len for PC commands.
Drivers which want to report residual count should first cache the
total request length, update rq->data_len and then complete the
request with the cached data length.
Secondly, it makes requests default to reporting full residual count,
ie. reporting that no data transfer occurred. The residual count is
an exception not the norm; however, the driver should clear
rq->data_len to zero to signify the normal cases while leaving it
alone means no data transfer occurred at all. This reverse default
behavior complicates code unnecessarily and renders block PC on some
drivers (ide-tape/floppy) unuseable.
This patch adds rq->resid_len which is used only for residual count.
While at it, remove now unnecessasry blk_rq_bytes() caching in
ide_pc_intr() as rq->data_len is not changed anymore.
Boaz : spotted missing conversion in osd
Sergei : spotted too early conversion to blk_rq_bytes() in ide-tape
[ Impact: cleanup residual count handling, report 0 resid by default ]

* A directory is treated as a file, and essentially contains a list

* Each file's control block (AKA on-disk inode) is stored in its
