This patch implements transaction processing helpers used to allocate/free/insert/remove and other operations with the transctions. Each transction is an object, which may embed multiple commands completed atomically. When server fails the whole transaction will be replied against it (or different server) later. This approach allows to maintain high data integrity and do not desynchronize filesystem state in case of network or server failures. Signed-off-by:

This is a main network processing patch. It includes both low-level socket machinery, zero-copy sending helpers, receiving and parsing callbacks and mainly logical commands handlers. POHMELFS uses async network approach, when every command can be separated from its answer and received after some time after the request during which another lots of commands can be injected into the network and replies to them received. With read operation balancing between multiple hosts it is possible that operations will arrive out of order and this is handled by the transaction mechanism described partially here. Having a transaction to guard the set of logically compound operations allows to send data without thinking about its status and using zero-copy sending mechanism, since transaction will receive explicit acks from the servers when they are completed. This patch also contains header with network srtuctures, commands and short comments on how they are used. Signed-off-by:

POHMELFS utilizes writeback cache, which is built on top of MO(E)SI-like coherency protocol. This patch includes its implementation and cache object processing helpers (like allocation and completion callbacks). POHMELFS uses scalable cached read/write locking. No additional requests are performed if lock is granted to the filesystem. The same protocol is used by the server to on-demand flushing of the client's cache (for example when server wants to update local data). Signed-off-by:

This is the main patch which implements inode operations (like reading and writing) and superblock processing (filesystem registration, initial autoconfiguration with the server like permissions, size of the exported dir, amount of the objects created and so on). POHMELFS relies on system's writeback cache mechanism shown here, as long as cache coherency protocol described later. Signed-off-by:

DST may fully encrypt the data channel in case of untrusted channel and implement strong checksum of the transferred data. It is possible to configure algorithms and crypto keys, they should match on both sides of the network channel. Crypto processing does not introduce noticeble performance overhead, since DST uses configurable pool of threads to perform crypto processing. This patch introduces crypto processing helpers and crypto engine initialization: glueing with the crypto layer, allocation and initialization of the crypto processing thread pool, allocation of the cached pages, which are used to temporary encrypt data into, since it is forbidden to encrypt data in-place, since pages are used by the higher layers.

DST uses transaction model, when each store has to be explicitly acked from the remote node to be considered as successfully written. There may be lots of in-flight transactions. When remote host does not ack the transaction it will be resent predefined number of times with specified timeouts between them. All those parameters are configurable. Transactions are marked as failed after all resends completed unsuccessfully, having long enough resend timeout and/or large number of resends allows not to return error to the higher (FS usually) layer in case of short network problems or remote node outages. In case of network RAID setup this means that storage will not degrade until transactions are marked as failed, and thus will not force checksum recalculation and data rebuild. In case of connection failure DST will try to reconnect to the remote node automatically. DST sends ping commands at idle time to detect if remote node is alive. Because of transactional model it is possible to use zero-copy sending without worry of data corruption (which in turn could be detected by the strong checksums though). Transactions are handled in this patch: allocation/freeing/completion, scanning for stall and to-be-resent transactions and overall management of the storing tree. Signed-off-by:

Kernel currently does not allow to queue work into some entity which will perform it in the process context and have simple way to extend number of worker and work with them not as separate objects, but with pool as a whole. So thread pool model was implemented in the DST. Thread pool abstraction allows to schedule a work to be performed on behalf of kernel thread. One does not operate with threads itself, instead user provides setup and cleanup callbacks for thread pool itself, and action and cleanup callbacks for each submitted work. Each worker has private data initialized at creation time and data, provided by user at scheduling time. When action is being performed, thread can not be used by other users, instead they will sleep until there is free thread to pick their work. Thread pool is used for crypto processing of incoming and outgoing IO requests to reduce the overall overhead. Signed-off-by:

This patch introduces remote (export) node machinery: initialization address/port (and other socket parameters), export block device (can be another DST storage for example or local device like /dev/sda1), local IO processing engine (BIO state machines, receiving/submitting logic). Network management for the export node like accepting new client, scheduling its command processing thread, receiving/sending IO requests, all are placed here. Signed-off-by:

This patch contains DST core files, which introduce block layer, connector and sysfs registration glue and main headers. Connector is used for the configuration of the node (its type, address, device name and so on). Sysfs provides bits of information about running devices in the following format: +/* + * DST sysfs tree for device called 'storage': + * + * /sys/bus/dst/devices/storage/ + * /sys/bus/dst/devices/storage/type : 192.168.4.80:1025 + * /sys/bus/dst/devices/storage/size : 800 + * /sys/bus/dst/devices/storage/name : storage + */ DST header contains structure definitions and protocol command description.

Replacing the use of kernel_thread() with kthread_run(). But as kthread_run() returned a task structure, as compared with kernel_thread() returning a PID, it was found to be more efficient to store the task structure pointer as a field data instead of PID pointer. On top of modifying the field to store task structure pointer, the initialization of the field (assigned to THREAD_PID_INIT_VALUE) was also found unnecessary - as no where it is found to be used.

Staging: rt2860: Ported v1.7.1.1 changes into v1.8.0.0, becoming v1.8.1.1 When RaLink released rt2860 v1.7.0.0, it lacked proper support for both WEP and WPA/WPA2 encryption. Either was possible, but the module had to be compiled to support only one or the other, never both. Since the EeePC was the most common device with this hardware (and these users were complaining to RaLink that WPA/WPA2 encryption didn't work) RaLink released a fix as an "eeepc-specific" version of this driver, v1.7.1.1 Unfortunately, when v1.8.0.0 was released, this WPA/WPA2 fix was never included. What complicates things further is that RaLink has no interest in continuing work on this Linux driver for their hardware. This commit ports the changes introduced in v1.7.1.1 into the v1.8.0.0 release, upgrading the kernel's module to v1.8.1.1 Signed-off-by:
