All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.
The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.
New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.
The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.
Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.
Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Define an osd_dev_info structure that Uniquely identifies an OSD
device lun on the network. The identification is built from unique
target attributes and is the same for all network/SAN machines.
osduld_info_lookup() - NEW
New API that will lookup an osd_dev by its osd_dev_info.
This is used by pNFS-objects for cross network global device
identification. And by exofs multy-device support, the device
info is specified in the on-disk exofs device table.
osduld_device_info() - NEW
Given an osd_dev handle returns its associated osd_dev_info.
The ULD fetches this information at startup and hangs it on
each OSD device. (This is a fast operation that can be called
at any condition)
osduld_device_same() - NEW
With a given osd_dev at one hand and an osd_dev_info
at another, we would like to know if they are the same
device.
Two osd_dev handles can be checked by:
osduld_device_same(od1, osduld_device_info(od2));
osd_auto_detect_ver() - REVISED
Now returns an osd_dev_info structure. Is only called once
by ULD as before. See added comments for how to use.

The true logic of this patch will be clear in the next patch where we
use the class_find_device() API. When doing so the use of an internal
kref leaves us a narrow window where a find is started while the actual
object can go away. Using the device's kobj reference solves this
problem because now the same kref is used for both operations. (Remove
and find)
Core changes
* Embed a struct device in uld_ structure and use device_register
instead of devie_create. Set __remove to be the device release
function.
* __uld_get/put is just get_/put_device. Now every thing is accounted
for on the device object. Internal kref is removed.
* At __remove() we can safely de-allocate the uld_ structure. (The
function has moved to avoid forward declaration)
Some cleanups
* Use class register/unregister is cleaner for this driver now.
* cdev ref-counting games are no longer necessary
I have incremented the device version string in case of new bugs.
Note: Previous bugfix of taking the reference around fput() still
applies.

If scsi has released the device (logout), and exofs has last
reference on the osduld_device it will be freed by
osd_uld_release() within the call to fput(). But this will
oops in cdev_release() which is called after the fops->release.
(cdev is embedded within osduld_device). __uld_get/put pair
makes sure we have a cdev for the duration of fput()

This patch was inspired by Al Viro, for simplifying and fixing the
retrieval of osd-devices by in-kernel users, eg: file systems.
In-Kernel users, now, go through the same path user-mode does by
opening a file on the osd char-device and though holding a reference
to both the device and the Module.
A file pointer was added to the osd_dev structure which is now
allocated for each user. The internal osd_dev is no longer exposed
outside of the uld. I wanted to do that for a long time so each
libosd user can have his own defaults on the device.
The API is left the same, so user code need not change.
It is no longer needed to open/close a file handle on the osd
char-device from user-mode, before mounting an exofs on it.

Remove the creation of the symlink from the device to

a udev rule and would WARN on load. On old systems it is

Kernel clients like exofs can retrieve struct osd_dev(s)
by means of below API.
+ osduld_path_lookup() - given a path (e.g "/dev/osd0") locks and
returns the corresponding struct osd_dev, which is then needed
for subsequent libosd use.
+ osduld_put_device() - free up use of an osd_dev.
Devices can be shared by multiple clients. The osd_uld_device's
life time is governed by an embedded kref structure.
The osd_uld_device holds an extra reference to both it's
char-device and it's scsi_device, and will release these just
before the final deallocation.
There are three possible lock sources of the osd_uld_device
1. First and for most is the probe() function called by
scsi-ml upon a successful login into a target. Released in release()
when logout.
2. Second by user-mode file handles opened on the char-dev.
3. Third is here by Kernel users.
All three locks must be removed before the osd_uld_device is freed.
The MODULE has three lock sources as well:
1. scsi-ml at probe() time, removed after release(). (login/logout)
2. The user-mode file handles open/close.
3. Import symbols by client modules like exofs.
TODO:
This API is not enough for the pNFS-objects LD. A more versatile
API will be needed. Proposed API could be:
struct osd_dev *osduld_sysid_lookup(const char id[OSD_SYSTEMID_LEN]);
