Distributed storage. Move away from char device ioctls.

Hi.

I'm pleased to announce fourth release of the distributed storage
subsystem, which allows to form a storage on top of remote and local
nodes, which in turn can be exported to another storage as a node to
form tree-like storages.

This release includes new configuration interface (kernel connector over
netlink socket) and number of fixes of various bugs found during move 
to it (in error path).

Further TODO list includes:
* implement optional saving of mirroring/linear information on the remote
	nodes (simple)
* new redundancy algorithm (complex)
* some thoughts about distributed filesystem tightly connected to DST
	(far-far planes so far)

+Each storage by itself is just a set of contiguous logical blocks, with
+allowed number of operations. Nodes, each of which has own start and size,
+are placed into storage by appropriate algorithm, which remaps
+logical sector number into real node's sector. One can create
+own algorithms, since DST has pluggable interface for that.
+Currently mirrored and linear algorithms are supported.
+
+Let's briefly describe how they work.
+
+Linear algorithm.
+Simple approach of concatenating storages into single device with
+increased size is used in this algorithm. Essentially new device
+has size equal to sum of sizes of underlying nodes and nodes are
+placed one after another.

+Mirror algorithm.
+In this algorithms nodes are placed under each other, so when
+operation comes to the first one, it can be mirrored to all
+underlying nodes. In case of reading, actual data is obtained from
+the nearest node - algoritm keeps track of previous operation
+and knows where it was stopped, so that subsequent seek to the 
+start of the new request will take the shortest time.
+Writing is always mirrored to all underlying nodes.

+struct dst_alg_ops

+	int			(*add_node)(struct dst_node *n);
+	void			(*del_node)(struct dst_node *n);
+	int 			(*remap)(struct dst_request *req);
+	int			(*error)(struct kst_state *state, int err);
+	struct module 		*owner;
+};
+
+@add_node.
+This callback is invoked when new node is being added into the storage,
+but before node is actually added into the storage, so that it could
+be accessed from it. When it is called, all appropriate initialization
+of the underlying device is already completed (system has been connected
+to remote node or got a reference to the local block device). At this
+stage algorithm can add node into private map. 
+It must return zero on success or negative value otherwise.
+
+@del_node.
+This callback is invoked when node is being deleted from the storage,
+i.e. when its reference counter hits zero. It is called before
+any cleaning is performed.
+It must return zero on success or negative value otherwise.
+
+@remap.
+This callback is invoked each time new bio hits the storage.
+Request structure contains BIO itself, pointer to the node, which originally
+stores the whole region under given IO request, and various parameters
+used by storage core to process this block request.
+It must return zero on success or negative value otherwise. It is upto
+this method to call all cleaning if remapping failed, for example it must
+call kst_bio_endio() for given callback in case of error, which in turn
+will call bio_endio(). Note, that dst_request structure provided in this
+callback is allocated on stack, so if there is a need to use it outside
+of the given function, it must be cloned (it will happen automatically
+in state's push callback, but that copy will not be shared by any other
+user).
+
+@error.
+This callback is invoked for each error, which happend when processed
+requests for remote nodes or when talking to remote size
+of the local export node (state contains data related to data
+transfers over the network).
+If this function has fixed given error, it must return 0 or negative
+error value otherwise.
+
+@owner.
+This is module reference counter updated automatically by DST core.
+
+Algorithm must provide its name and above structure to the 
+dst_alloc_alg() function, which will return a reference to the newly
+created algorithm.
+To remove it, one needs to call dst_remove_alg() with given algorithm
+pointer.

+Distributed storage. Design and implementation.
+http://tservice.net.ru/~s0mbre/old/?section=projects&item=dst
+
+	     Evgeniy Polyakov
+
+This document is intended to briefly describe design and
+implementation details of the distributed storage project,
+aimed to create ability to group physically and/or logically
+distributed storages into single device.
+
+Main operational unit in the storage is node. Node can represent
+either remote storage, connected to local machine, or local
+device, or storage exported to the outside of the system.
+Here goes small explaination of basic therms.
+
+Local node.
+This node is just a logical link between block device (with given
+major and minor numbers) and structure in the DST hierarchy,
+which represents number of sectors on the area, corresponding to given
+block device. it can be a disk, a device mapper node or stacked
+block device on top of another underlying DST nodes.
+
+Local export node.
+Essentially the same as local node, but it allows to access
+to its data via network. Remote clients can connect to given local 
+export node and read or write blocks according to its size.
+Blocks are then forwarded to underlying local node and processed
+there accordingly to the nature of the local node.
+
+Remote node.
+This type of nodes contain remotely accessible devices. One can think
+about remote nodes as remote disks, which can be connected to
+local system and combined into single storage. Remote nodes
+are presented as number of sectors accessed over the network
+by the local machine, where distributed storage is being formed.
+
+
+Each node or set of them can be formed into single array, which
+in turn becomes a local node, which can be exported further by stacking
+a local export node on top of it.
+
+Each storage by itself is just a set of contiguous logical blocks, with
+allowed number of operations. Nodes, each of which has own start and size,
+are placed into storage by appropriate algorithm, which remaps
+logical sector number into real node's sector. One can create
+own algorithms, since DST has pluggable interface for that.
+Currently mirrored and linear algorithms are supported.
+One can find more details in Documentation/dst/algorithms.txt file.
+
+Main goal of the distributed storage is to combine remote nodes into
+single device, so each block IO request is being sent over the network
+(contrary requests for local nodes are handled by the gneric block
+layer features). Each network connection has number of variables which
+describe it (socket, list of requests, error handling and so on),
+which form kst_state structure. This network state is added into per-socket
+polling state machine, and can be processed by dedicated thread when
+becomes ready. This system forms asynchronous IO for given block
+requests. If block request can be processed without blocking, then
+no new structures are allocated and async part of the state is not used.
+
+When connection to the remote peer breaks, DST core tries to reconnect
+to failed node and no requests are marked as errorneous, instead
+they live in the queue until reconnectin is established.
+
+Userspace code, setup documentation and examples can be found on project's
+homepage above.
