ceph messenger code does a rather complex dancing around multithread
workqueue to make sure the same work item isn't executed concurrently
on different CPUs.  This restriction can be provided by workqueue with
WQ_NON_REENTRANT.

Make ceph_msgr_wq non-reentrant workqueue with the default concurrency
level and remove the QUEUED/BUSY logic.

* This removes backoff handling in con_work() but it couldn't reliably
  block execution of con_work() to begin with - queue_con() can be
  called after the work started but before BUSY is set.  It seems that
  it was an optimization for a rather cold path and can be safely
  removed.

* The number of concurrent work items is bound by the number of
  connections and connetions are independent from each other.  With
  the default concurrency level, different connections will be
  executed independently.

Add a ceph_dir_layout to the inode, and calculate dentry hash values based
on the parent directory's specified dir_hash function.  This is needed
because the old default Linux dcache hash function is extremely week and
leads to a poor distribution of files among dir fragments.

For read operation, we have to set the argument _write_ of get_user_pages
to 1 since we will write data to pages. Also, we need to SetPageDirty before
releasing these pages.

<title>ceph: explicitly specify page alignment in network messages</title>

<content type='text'>
The alignment used for reading data into or out of pages used to be taken
from the data_off field in the message header.  This only worked as long
as the page alignment matched the object offset, breaking direct io to
non-page aligned offsets.

Instead, explicitly specify the page alignment next to the page vector
in the ceph_msg struct, and use that instead of the message header (which
probably shouldn't be trusted).  The alloc_msg callback is responsible for
filling in this field properly when it sets up the page vector.

We used to infer alignment of IOs within a page based on the file offset,
which assumed they matched.  This broke with direct IO that was not aligned
to pages (e.g., 512-byte aligned IO).  We were also trusting the alignment
specified in the OSD reply, which could have been adjusted by the server.

Explicitly specify the page alignment when setting up OSD IO requests.

<title>ceph: factor out libceph from Ceph file system</title>

This factors out protocol and low-level storage parts of ceph into a
separate libceph module living in net/ceph and include/linux/ceph.  This
is mostly a matter of moving files around.  However, a few key pieces
of the interface change as well:

 - ceph_client becomes ceph_fs_client and ceph_client, where the latter
   captures the mon and osd clients, and the fs_client gets the mds client
   and file system specific pieces.
 - Mount option parsing and debugfs setup is correspondingly broken into
   two pieces.
 - The mon client gets a generic handler callback for otherwise unknown
   messages (mds map, in this case).
 - The basic supported/required feature bits can be expanded (and are by
   ceph_fs_client).

No functional change, aside from some subtle error handling cases that got
cleaned up in the refactoring process.
