2009-06-10[SCSI] libosd: Define an osd_dev wrapper to retrieve the request_queueBoaz Harrosh
libosd users that need to work with bios, must sometime use the request_queue associated with the osd_dev. Make a wrapper for that, and convert all in-tree users. Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com>
2009-06-10[SCSI] libosd: osd_req_{read,write} takes a length parameterBoaz Harrosh
For supporting of chained-bios we can not inspect the first bio only, as before. Caller shall pass the total length of the request, ie. sum_bytes(bio-chain). Also since the bio might be a chain we don't set it's direction on behalf of it's callers. The bio direction should be properly set prior to this call. So fix a couple of write users that now need to set the bio direction properly [In this patch I change both library code and user sites at exofs, to make it easy on integration. It should be submitted via James's scsi-misc tree.] Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com> CC: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com>
2009-03-31exofs: super_operations and file_system_typeBoaz Harrosh
This patch ties all operation vectors into a file system superblock and registers the exofs file_system_type at module's load time. * The file system control block (AKA on-disk superblock) resides in an object with a special ID (defined in common.h). Information included in the file system control block is used to fill the in-memory superblock structure at mount time. This object is created before the file system is used by mkexofs.c It contains information such as: - The file system's magic number - The next inode number to be allocated Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>
2009-03-31exofs: dir_inode and directory operationsBoaz Harrosh
implementation of directory and inode operations. * A directory is treated as a file, and essentially contains a list of <file name, inode #> pairs for files that are found in that directory. The object IDs correspond to the files' inode numbers and are allocated using a 64bit incrementing global counter. * Each file's control block (AKA on-disk inode) is stored in its object's attributes. This applies to both regular files and other types (directories, device files, symlinks, etc.). Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>
2009-03-31exofs: address_space_operationsBoaz Harrosh
OK Now we start to read and write from osd-objects. We try to collect at most contiguous pages as possible in a single write/read. The first page index is the object's offset. TODO: In 64-bit a single bio can carry at most 128 pages. Add support of chaining multiple bios Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>
2009-03-31exofs: file and file_inode operationsBoaz Harrosh
implementation of the file_operations and inode_operations for regular data files. Most file_operations are generic vfs implementations except: - exofs_truncate will truncate the OSD object as well - Generic file_fsync is not good for none_bd devices so open code it - The default for .flush in Linux is todo nothing so call exofs_fsync on the file.
