Pull iov_iter updates from Al Viro:
- bio_{map,copy}_user_iov() series; those are cleanups - fixes from the
same pile went into mainline (and stable) in late September.
- fs/iomap.c iov_iter-related fixes
- new primitive - iov_iter_for_each_range(), which applies a function
to kernel-mapped segments of an iov_iter.
Usable for kvec and bvec ones, the latter does kmap()/kunmap() around
the callback. _Not_ usable for iovec- or pipe-backed iov_iter; the
latter is not hard to fix if the need ever appears, the former is by
design.
Another related primitive will have to wait for the next cycle - it
passes page + offset + size instead of pointer + size, and that one
will be usable for everything _except_ kvec. Unfortunately, that one
didn't get exposure in -next yet, so...
- a bit more lustre iov_iter work, including a use case for
iov_iter_for_each_range() (checksum calculation)
- vhost/scsi leak fix in failure exit
- misc cleanups and detritectomy...
* 'work.iov_iter' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (21 commits)
iomap_dio_actor(): fix iov_iter bugs
switch ksocknal_lib_recv_...() to use of iov_iter_for_each_range()
lustre: switch struct ksock_conn to iov_iter
vhost/scsi: switch to iov_iter_get_pages()
fix a page leak in vhost_scsi_iov_to_sgl() error recovery
new primitive: iov_iter_for_each_range()
lnet_return_rx_credits_locked: don't abuse list_entry
xen: don't open-code iov_iter_kvec()
orangefs: remove detritus from struct orangefs_kiocb_s
kill iov_shorten()
bio_alloc_map_data(): do bmd->iter setup right there
bio_copy_user_iov(): saner bio size calculation
bio_map_user_iov(): get rid of copying iov_iter
bio_copy_from_iter(): get rid of copying iov_iter
move more stuff down into bio_copy_user_iov()
blk_rq_map_user_iov(): move iov_iter_advance() down
bio_map_user_iov(): get rid of the iov_for_each()
bio_map_user_iov(): move alignment check into the main loop
don't rely upon subsequent bio_add_pc_page() calls failing
... and with iov_iter_get_pages_alloc() it becomes even simpler

Lustre Parallel Filesystem Client ================================= The Lustre file system is an open-source, parallel file system that supports many requirements of leadership class HPC simulation environments. Born from from a research project at Carnegie Mellon University, the Lustre file system is a widely-used option in HPC. The Lustre file system provides a POSIX compliant file system interface, can scale to thousands of clients, petabytes of storage and hundreds of gigabytes per second of I/O bandwidth. Unlike shared disk storage cluster filesystems (e.g. OCFS2, GFS, GPFS), Lustre has independent Metadata and Data servers that clients can access in parallel to maximize performance. In order to use Lustre client you will need to download the "lustre-client" package that contains the userspace tools from http://lustre.org/download/ You will need to install and configure your Lustre servers separately. Mount Syntax ============ After you installed the lustre-client tools including mount.lustre binary you can mount your Lustre filesystem with: mount -t lustre mgs:/fsname mnt where mgs is the host name or ip address of your Lustre MGS(management service) fsname is the name of the filesystem you would like to mount. Mount Options ============= noflock Disable posix file locking (Applications trying to use the functionality will get ENOSYS) localflock Enable local flock support, using only client-local flock (faster, for applications that require flock but do not run on multiple nodes). flock Enable cluster-global posix file locking coherent across all client nodes. user_xattr, nouser_xattr Support "user." extended attributes (or not) user_fid2path, nouser_fid2path Enable FID to path translation by regular users (or not) checksum, nochecksum Verify data consistency on the wire and in memory as it passes between the layers (or not). lruresize, nolruresize Allow lock LRU to be controlled by memory pressure on the server (or only 100 (default, controlled by lru_size proc parameter) locks per CPU per server on this client). lazystatfs, nolazystatfs Do not block in statfs() if some of the servers are down. 32bitapi Shrink inode numbers to fit into 32 bits. This is necessary if you plan to reexport Lustre filesystem from this client via NFSv4. verbose, noverbose Enable mount/umount console messages (or not) More Information ================ You can get more information at the Lustre website: http://wiki.lustre.org/ Source for the userspace tools and out-of-tree client and server code is available at: http://git.hpdd.intel.com/fs/lustre-release.git Latest binary packages: http://lustre.org/download/
