The peer_reset just takes longer (until we reconnect and discover the osd
dropped the session... which it will).

If an osd has failed or returned and a request has been sent twice, it's
possible to get a reply and unregister the request while the request
message is queued for delivery. Since the message references the caller's
page vector, we need to revoke it before completing.

The osd request submission path registers the request, drops and retakes
the request_mutex, then sends it to the OSD. A racing kick_requests could
sent it during that interval, causing the same msg to be sent twice and
BUGing in the msgr.
Fix by only sending the message if it hasn't been touched by other
threads.

Ceph snapshots rely on client cooperation in determining which
operations apply to which snapshots, and appropriately flushing
snapshotted data and metadata back to the OSD and MDS clusters.
Because snapshots apply to subtrees of the file hierarchy and can be
created at any time, there is a fair bit of bookkeeping required to
make this work.
Portions of the hierarchy that belong to the same set of snapshots
are described by a single 'snap realm.' A 'snap context' describes
the set of snapshots that exist for a given file or directory.

The Ceph metadata servers control client access to inode metadata and
file data by issuing capabilities, granting clients permission to read
and/or write both inode field and file data to OSDs (storage nodes).
Each capability consists of a set of bits indicating which operations
are allowed.
If the client holds a *_SHARED cap, the client has a coherent value
that can be safely read from the cached inode.
In the case of a *_EXCL (exclusive) or FILE_WR capabilities, the client
is allowed to change inode attributes (e.g., file size, mtime), note
its dirty state in the ceph_cap, and asynchronously flush that
metadata change to the MDS.
In the event of a conflicting operation (perhaps by another client),
the MDS will revoke the conflicting client capabilities.
In order for a client to cache an inode, it must hold a capability
with at least one MDS server. When inodes are released, release
notifications are batched and periodically sent en masse to the MDS
cluster to release server state.

The monitor cluster is responsible for managing cluster membership
and state. The monitor client handles what minimal interaction
the Ceph client has with it: checking for updated versions of the
MDS and OSD maps, getting statfs() information, and unmounting.

CRUSH is a pseudorandom data distribution function designed to map
inputs onto a dynamic hierarchy of devices, while minimizing the
extent to which inputs are remapped when the devices are added or
removed. It includes some features that are specifically useful for
storage, most notably the ability to map each input onto a set of N
devices that are separated across administrator-defined failure
domains. CRUSH is used to distribute data across the cluster of Ceph
storage nodes.
More information about CRUSH can be found in this paper:

The OSD client is responsible for reading and writing data from/to the
object storage pool. This includes determining where objects are
stored in the cluster, and ensuring that requests are retried or
redirected in the event of a node failure or data migration.
If an OSD does not respond before a timeout expires, keepalive
messages are sent across the lossless, ordered communications channel
to ensure that any break in the TCP is discovered. If the session
does reset, a reconnection is attempted and affected requests are
resent (by the message transport layer).

The MDS (metadata server) client is responsible for submitting
requests to the MDS cluster and parsing the response. We decide which
MDS to submit each request to based on cached information about the
current partition of the directory hierarchy across the cluster. A
stateful session is opened with each MDS before we submit requests to
it, and a mutex is used to control the ordering of messages within
each session.
An MDS request may generate two responses. The first indicates the
operation was a success and returns any result. A second reply is
sent when the operation commits to disk. Note that locking on the MDS
ensures that the results of updates are visible only to the updating
client before the operation commits. Requests are linked to the
containing directory so that an fsync will wait for them to commit.
If an MDS fails and/or recovers, we resubmit requests as needed. We
also reconnect existing capabilities to a recovering MDS to
reestablish that shared session state. Old dentry leases are
invalidated.

The ceph address space methods are concerned primarily with managing
the dirty page accounting in the inode, which (among other things)
must keep track of which snapshot context each page was dirtied in,
and ensure that dirty data is written out to the OSDs in snapshort
order.
A writepage() on a page that is not currently writeable due to
snapshot writeback ordering constraints is ignored (it was presumably
called from kswapd).

File open and close operations, and read and write methods that ensure
we have obtained the proper capabilities from the MDS cluster before
performing IO on a file. We take references on held capabilities for
the duration of the read/write to avoid prematurely releasing them
back to the MDS.
We implement two main paths for read and write: one that is buffered
(and uses generic_aio_{read,write}), and one that is fully synchronous
and blocking (operating either on a __user pointer or, if O_DIRECT,
directly on user pages).

Directory operations, including lookup, are defined here. We take
advantage of lookup intents when possible. For the most part, we just
need to build the proper requests for the metadata server(s) and
pass things off to the mds_client.
The results of most operations are normally incorporated into the
client's cache when the reply is parsed by ceph_fill_trace().
However, if the MDS replies without a trace (e.g., when retrying an
update after an MDS failure recovery), some operation-specific cleanup
may be needed.
We can validate cached dentries in two ways. A per-dentry lease may
be issued by the MDS, or a per-directory cap may be issued that acts
as a lease on the entire directory. In the latter case, a 'gen' value
is used to determine which dentries belong to the currently leased
directory contents.
We normally prepopulate the dcache and icache with readdir results.
This makes subsequent lookups and getattrs avoid any server
interaction. It also lets us satisfy readdir operation by peeking at
the dcache IFF we hold the per-directory cap/lease, previously
performed a readdir, and haven't dropped any of the resulting
dentries.

These headers describe the types used to exchange messages between the
Ceph client and various servers. All types are little-endian and
packed. These headers are shared between the kernel and userspace, so
all types are in terms of e.g. __u32.
Additionally, we define a few magic values to identify the current
version of the protocol(s) in use, so that discrepancies to be
