ore/exofs: Change ore_check_io API
Current ore_check_io API receives a residual pointer, to report partial IO. But it is actually not used, because in a multiple devices IO there is never a linearity in the IO failure. On the other hand if every failing device is reported through a received callback measures can be taken to handle only failed devices. One at a time. This will also be needed by the objects-layout-driver for it's error reporting facility. Exofs is not currently using the new information and keeps the old behaviour of failing the complete IO in case of an error. (No partial completion) TODO: Use an ore_check_io callback to set_page_error only the failing pages. And re-dirty write pages. Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>
