Subject: [PATCH v16 03/68] libceph: add sparse read support to msgr2 crc state machine
Date: Mon, 27 Feb 2023 11:27:08 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230227032813.337906-4-xiubli@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230227032813.337906-1-xiubli@redhat.com>

From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org>

Add support for a new sparse_read ceph_connection operation. The idea is
that the client driver can define this operation use it to do special
handling for incoming reads.

The alloc_msg routine will look at the request and determine whether the
reply is expected to be sparse. If it is, then we'll dispatch to a
different set of state machine states that will repeatedly call the
driver's sparse_read op to get length and placement info for reading the
extent map, and the extents themselves.

This necessitates adding some new field to some other structs:

- The msg gets a new bool to track whether it's a sparse_read request.

- A new field is added to the cursor to track the amount remaining in the
current extent. This is used to cap the read from the socket into the
msg_data

- Handing a revoke with all of this is particularly difficult, so I've
added a new data_len_remain field to the v2 connection info, and then
use that to skip that much on a revoke. We may want to expand the use of
that to the normal read path as well, just for consistency's sake.
