Hold off building the osd request message in ceph_writepages_start()
until just before it will be submitted to the osd client for
execution.
We'll still create the request and allocate the page pointer array
after we learn we have at least one page to write. A local variable
will be used to keep track of the allocated array of pages. Wait
until just before submitting the request for assigning that page
array pointer to the request message.
Create ands use a new function osd_req_op_extent_update() whose
purpose is to serve this one spot where the length value supplied
when an osd request's op was initially formatted might need to get
changed (reduced, never increased) before submitting the request.
Previously, ceph_writepages_start() assigned the message header's
data length because of this update. That's no longer necessary,
because ceph_osdc_build_request() will recalculate the right
value to use based on the content of the ops in the request.

This patch moves the call to ceph_osdc_build_request() out of
ceph_osdc_new_request() and into its caller.
This is in order to defer formatting osd operation information into
the request message until just before request is started.
The only unusual (ab)user of ceph_osdc_build_request() is
ceph_writepages_start(), where the final length of write request may
change (downward) based on the current inode size or the oldest
snapshot context with dirty data for the inode.
The remaining callers don't change anything in the request after has
been built.
This means the ops array is now supplied by the caller. It also
means there is no need to pass the mtime to ceph_osdc_new_request()
(it gets provided to ceph_osdc_build_request()). And rather than
passing a do_sync flag, have the number of ops in the ops array
supplied imply adding a second STARTSYNC operation after the READ or
WRITE requested.
This and some of the patches that follow are related to having the
messenger (only) be responsible for filling the content of the
message header, as described here:

When assigning a bio pointer to an osd request, we don't have an

That information is available at the point it's set up by the rbd

A field in an osd request keeps track of whether a connection is
currently filling the request's reply message. This patch gets rid
of that field.
An osd request includes two messages--a request and a reply--and
they're both associated with the connection that existed to its
the target osd at the time the request was created.
An osd request can be dropped early, even when it's in flight.
And at that time both messages are released. It's possible the
reply message has been supplied to its connection to receive
an incoming response message at the time the osd request gets
dropped. So ceph_osdc_release_request() revokes that message
from the connection before releasing it so things get cleaned up
properly.
Previously this may have caused a problem, because the connection
that a message was associated with might have gone away before the
revoke request. And to avoid any problems using that connection,
the osd client held a reference to it when it supplies its response
message.
However since this commit:
38941f80 libceph: have messages point to their connection
all messages hold a reference to the connection they are associated
with whenever the connection is actively operating on the message
(i.e. while the message is queued to send or sending, and when it
data is being received into it). And if a message has no connection
associated with it, ceph_msg_revoke_incoming() won't do anything
when asked to revoke it.
As a result, there is no need to keep an additional reference to the
connection associated with a message when we hand the message to the
messenger when it calls our alloc_msg() method to receive something.
If the connection *were* operating on it, it would have its own
reference, and if not, there's no work to be done when we need to
revoke it.
So get rid of the osd request's r_con_filling_msg field.

The rbd code has a function that allocates and populates a
ceph_osd_req_op structure (the in-core version of an osd request
operation). When reviewed, Josh suggested two things: that the
big varargs function might be better split into type-specific
functions; and that this functionality really belongs in the osd
client rather than rbd.
This patch implements both of Josh's suggestions. It breaks
up the rbd function into separate functions and defines them
in the osd client module as exported interfaces. Unlike the
rbd version, however, the functions don't allocate an osd_req_op
structure; they are provided the address of one and that is
initialized instead.
The rbd function has been eliminated and calls to it have been
replaced by calls to the new routines. The rbd code now now use a
stack (struct) variable to hold the op rather than allocating and
freeing it each time.
For now only the capabilities used by rbd are implemented.
Implementing all the other osd op types, and making the rest of the
code use it will be done separately, in the next few patches.
Note that only the extent, cls, and watch portions of the
ceph_osd_req_op structure are currently used. Delete the others
(xattr, pgls, and snap) from its definition so nobody thinks it's
actually implemented or needed. We can add it back again later
if needed, when we know it's been tested.

Begin the transition from a single message data item to a list of
them by replacing the "data" structure in a message with a pointer
to a ceph_msg_data structure.
A null pointer will indicate the message has no data; replace the
use of ceph_msg_has_data() with a simple check for a null pointer.
Create functions ceph_msg_data_create() and ceph_msg_data_destroy()
to dynamically allocate and free a data item structure of a given type.
When a message has its data item "set," allocate one of these to
hold the data description, and free it when the last reference to

The only remaining field in the ceph_msg_pos structure is
did_page_crc. In the new cursor model of things that flag (or
something like it) belongs in the cursor.
Define a new field "need_crc" in the cursor (which applies to all
types of data) and initialize it to true whenever a cursor is
initialized.
In write_partial_message_data(), the data CRC still will be computed
as before, but it will check the cursor->need_crc field to determine
whether it's needed. Any time the cursor is advanced to a new piece
of a data item, need_crc will be set, and this will cause the crc
for that entire piece to be accumulated into the data crc.
In write_partial_message_data() the intermediate crc value is now
held in a local variable so it doesn't have to be byte-swapped so
many times. In read_partial_msg_data() we do something similar
(but mainly for consistency there).
With that, the ceph_msg_pos structure can go away, and it no longer
needs to be passed as an argument to prepare_message_data().

It turns out that only one of the data item types is ever used at
any one time in a single message (currently).
- A page array is used by the osd client (on behalf of the file
system) and by rbd. Only one osd op (and therefore at most
one data item) is ever used at a time by rbd. And the only
time the file system sends two, the second op contains no
data.
- A bio is only used by the rbd client (and again, only one
data item per message)
- A page list is used by the file system and by rbd for outgoing
data, but only one op (and one data item) at a time.
We can therefore collapse all three of our data item fields into a
single field "data", and depend on the messenger code to properly
handle it based on its type.
This allows us to eliminate quite a bit of duplicated code.

All of the data types can use this, not just the page array. Until
now, only the bio type doesn't have it available, and only the
initiator of the request (the rbd client) is able to supply the
length of the full request without re-scanning the bio list. Change
the cursor init routines so the length is supplied based on the
message header "data_len" field, and use that length to intiialize
the "resid" field of the cursor.
In addition, change the way "last_piece" is defined so it is based
on the residual number of bytes in the original request. This is
necessary (at least for bio messages) because it is possible for
a read request to succeed without consuming all of the space
available in the data buffer.

Currently the messenger calls out to a get_authorizer con op, which will
create a new authorizer if it doesn't yet have one. In the meantime, when
we rotate our service keys, the authorizer doesn't get updated. Eventually
it will be rejected by the server on a new connection attempt and get
invalidated, and we will then rebuild a new authorizer, but this is not
ideal.
Instead, if we do have an authorizer, call a new update_authorizer op that
will verify that the current authorizer is using the latest secret. If it
is not, we will build a new one that does. This avoids the transient
failure.

The osd trail is a pagelist, used only for a CALL osd operation
to hold the class and method names, along with any input data for
the call.
It is only currently used by the rbd client, and when it's used it
is the only bit of outbound data in the osd request. Since we
already support (non-trail) pagelist data in a message, we can
just save this outbound CALL data in the "normal" pagelist rather
than the trail, and get rid of the trail entirely.
The existing pagelist support depends on the pagelist being
dynamically allocated, and ownership of it is passed to the
messenger once it's been attached to a message. (That is to say,
the messenger releases and frees the pagelist when it's done with
it). That means we need to dynamically allocate the pagelist also.
Note that we simply assert that the allocation of a pagelist
structure succeeds. Appending to a pagelist might require a dynamic
allocation, so we're already assuming we won't run into trouble
doing so (we're just ignore any failures--and that should be fixed
at some point).

The length of outgoing data in an osd request is dependent on the
osd ops that are embedded in that request. Each op is encoded into
a request message using osd_req_encode_op(), so that should be used
to determine the amount of outgoing data implied by the op as it
is encoded.
Have osd_req_encode_op() return the number of bytes of outgoing data
implied by the op being encoded, and accumulate and use that in
ceph_osdc_build_request().
As a result, ceph_osdc_build_request() no longer requires its "len"
parameter, so get rid of it.
Using the sum of the op lengths rather than the length provided is
a valid change because:
- The only callers of osd ceph_osdc_build_request() are
rbd and the osd client (in ceph_osdc_new_request() on
behalf of the file system).
- When rbd calls it, the length provided is only non-zero for
write requests, and in that case the single op has the
same length value as what was passed here.
- When called from ceph_osdc_new_request(), (it's not all that
easy to see, but) the length passed is also always the same
as the extent length encoded in its (single) write op if
present.

This patch lays out the foundation for using generic routines to
manage processing items of message data.
For simplicity, we'll start with just the trail portion of a
message, because it stands alone and is only present for outgoing
data.
First some basic concepts. We'll use the term "data item" to
represent one of the ceph_msg_data structures associated with a
message. There are currently four of those, with single-letter
field names p, l, b, and t. A data item is further broken into
"pieces" which always lie in a single page. A data item will
include a "cursor" that will track state as the memory defined by
the item is consumed by sending data from or receiving data into it.
We define three routines to manipulate a data item's cursor: the
"init" routine; the "next" routine; and the "advance" routine. The
"init" routine initializes the cursor so it points at the beginning
of the first piece in the item. The "next" routine returns the
page, page offset, and length (limited by both the page and item
size) of the next unconsumed piece in the item. It also indicates
to the caller whether the piece being returned is the last one in
the data item.
The "advance" routine consumes the requested number of bytes in the
item (advancing the cursor). This is used to record the number of
bytes from the current piece that were actually sent or received by
the network code. It returns an indication of whether the result
means the current piece has been fully consumed. This is used by
the message send code to determine whether it should calculate the
CRC for the next piece processed.
The trail of a message is implemented as a ceph pagelist. The
routines defined for it will be usable for non-trail pagelist data
as well.

well. Change two variable names in init_bio_iter() to match the
convention used everywhere else.

Pull kdump fixes from Peter Anvin:
"The kexec/kdump people have found several problems with the support
for loading over 4 GiB that was introduced in this merge cycle. This
is partly due to a number of design problems inherent in the way the
various pieces of kdump fit together (it is pretty horrifically manual
in many places.)
After a *lot* of iterations this is the patchset that was agreed upon,
but of course it is now very late in the cycle. However, because it
changes both the syntax and semantics of the crashkernel option, it
would be desirable to avoid a stable release with the broken
interfaces."
I'm not happy with the timing, since originally the plan was to release
the final 3.9 tomorrow. But apparently I'm doing an -rc8 instead...

Pull x86 fixes from Peter Anvin:
"Three groups of fixes:
1. Make sure we don't execute the early microcode patching if family
< 6, since it would touch MSRs which don't exist on those
families, causing crashes.
2. The Xen partial emulation of HyperV can be dealt with more
gracefully than just disabling the driver.
3. More EFI variable space magic. In particular, variables hidden
from runtime code need to be taken into account too."

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
1) ax88796 does 64-bit divides which causes link errors on ARM, fix
from Arnd Bergmann.
2) Once an improper offload setting is detected on an SKB we don't rate
limit the log message so we can very easily live lock. From Ben
Greear.
3) Openvswitch cannot report vport configuration changes reliably
because it didn't preallocate the netlink notification message
before changing state. From Jesse Gross.
4) The effective UID/GID SCM credentials fix, from Linus.
5) When a user explicitly asks for wireless authentication, cfg80211
isn't told about the AP detachment leaving inconsistent state. Fix
from Johannes Berg.
6) Fix self-MAC checks in batman-adv on multi-mesh nodes, from Antonio
Quartulli.
7) Revert build_skb() change sin IGB driver, can result in memory
corruption. From Alexander Duyck.
8) Fix setting VLANs on virtual functions in IXGBE, from Greg Rose.
9) Fix TSO races in qlcnic driver, from Sritej Velaga.
10) In bnx2x the kernel driver and UNDI firmware can try to program the
chip at the same time, resulting in corruption. Add proper
synchronization. From Dmitry Kravkov.
11) Fix corruption of status block in firmware ram in bxn2x, from Ariel
Elior.
12) Fix load balancing hash regression of bonding driver in forwarding
configurations, from Eric Dumazet.
13) Fix TS ECR regression in TCP by calling tcp_replace_ts_recent() in
all the right spots, from Eric Dumazet.
14) Fix several bonding bugs having to do with address manintainence,
including not removing address when configuration operations
encounter errors, missed locking on the address lists, missing
refcounting on VLAN objects, etc. All from Nikolay Aleksandrov.
15) Add workarounds for firmware bugs in LTE qmi_wwan devices, wherein
the devices fail to add a proper ethernet header while on LTE
networks but otherwise properly do so on 2G and 3G ones. From Bjørn
Mork.

Commit 257b5358b32f ("scm: Capture the full credentials of the scm
sender") changed the credentials passing code to pass in the effective
uid/gid instead of the real uid/gid.
Obviously this doesn't matter most of the time (since normally they are
the same), but it results in differences for suid binaries when the wrong
uid/gid ends up being used.
This just undoes that (presumably unintentional) part of the commit.
