      ore: Only IO one group at a time (API change) · b916c5cd
      Boaz Harrosh authored 
      Usually a single IO is confined to one group of devices
(group_width) and at the boundary of a raid group it can
spill into a second group. Current code would allocate a
full device_table size array at each io_state so it can
comply to requests that span two groups. Needless to say
that is very wasteful, specially when device_table count
can get very large (hundreds even thousands), while a
group_width is usually 8 or 10.

* Change ore API to trim on IO that spans two raid groups.
  The user passes offset+length to ore_get_rw_state, the
  ore might trim on that length if spanning a group boundary.
  The user must check ios->length or ios->nrpages to see
  how much IO will be preformed. It is the responsibility
  of the user to re-issue the reminder of the IO.

* Modify exofs To copy spilled pages on to the next IO.
  This means one last kick is needed after all coalescing
  of pages is done.

      ore/exofs: Change the type of the devices array (API change) · d866d875
      Boaz Harrosh authored 
      In the pNFS obj-LD the device table at the layout level needs
to point to a device_cache node, where it is possible and likely
that many layouts will point to the same device-nodes.

In Exofs we have a more orderly structure where we have a single
array of devices that repeats twice for a round-robin view of the
device table

This patch moves to a model that can be used by the pNFS obj-LD
where struct ore_components holds an array of ore_dev-pointers.
(ore_dev is newly defined and contains a struct osd_dev *od
 member)

Each pointer in the array of pointers will point to a bigger
user-defined dev_struct. That can be accessed by use of the
container_of macro.

In Exofs an __alloc_dev_table() function allocates the
ore_dev-pointers array as well as an exofs_dev array, in one
allocation and does the addresses dance to set everything pointing
correctly. It still keeps the double allocation trick for the
inodes round-robin view of the table.

The device table is always allocated dynamically, also for the
single device case. So it is unconditionally freed at umount.
