prepare_discard_fn() was being called in a place where memory allocation
was effectively impossible. This makes it inappropriate for all but
the most trivial translations of Linux's DISCARD operation to the block
command set. Additionally adding a payload there makes the ownership
of the bio backing unclear as it's now allocated by the device driver
and not the submitter as usual.
It is replaced with QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD which is used to indicate whether
the queue supports discard operations or not. blkdev_issue_discard now
allocates a one-page, sector-length payload which is the right thing
for the common ATA and SCSI implementations.
The mtd implementation of prepare_discard_fn() is replaced with simply
checking for the request being a discard.
Largely based on a previous patch from Matthew Wilcox <matthew@wil.cx>
which did the prepare_discard_fn but not the different payload allocation
yet.

dst_state_alloc returns an ERR_PTR value in an error case instead of NULL.
A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
// <smpl>
@match exists@
expression x, E;
statement S1, S2;
@@
x = dst_state_alloc(...)
... when != x = E
(
* if (x == NULL || ...) S1 else S2
|
* if (x == NULL && ...) S1 else S2
)
// </smpl>

Get rid of any functions that test for these bits and make callers
use bio_rw_flagged() directly. Then it is at least directly apparent
what variable and flag they check.

The connector documentation states that the argument to the callback
function is always a pointer to a struct cn_msg, but rather than encode it
in the API itself, it uses a void pointer everywhere. This doesn't make
much sense to encode the pointer in documentation as it prevents proper C
type checking from occurring and can easily allow people to use the wrong
pointer type. So convert the argument type to an explicit struct cn_msg
pointer.

DST should depend on block and block device, in the original patch its
kconfig entry was in the BLK_DEV menu, so this dependency was satisfied
automatically. Should attached patch be pushed into drivers/staging?

DST may fully encrypt the data channel in case of untrusted channel and implement
strong checksum of the transferred data. It is possible to configure algorithms
and crypto keys, they should match on both sides of the network channel.
Crypto processing does not introduce noticeble performance overhead, since DST
uses configurable pool of threads to perform crypto processing.
This patch introduces crypto processing helpers and crypto engine initialization:
glueing with the crypto layer, allocation and initialization of the crypto
processing thread pool, allocation of the cached pages, which are used to temporary
encrypt data into, since it is forbidden to encrypt data in-place, since pages
are used by the higher layers.

DST uses transaction model, when each store has to be explicitly acked
from the remote node to be considered as successfully written. There
may be lots of in-flight transactions. When remote host does not ack
the transaction it will be resent predefined number of times with specified
timeouts between them. All those parameters are configurable. Transactions
are marked as failed after all resends completed unsuccessfully, having
long enough resend timeout and/or large number of resends allows not to
return error to the higher (FS usually) layer in case of short network
problems or remote node outages. In case of network RAID setup this means
that storage will not degrade until transactions are marked as failed, and
thus will not force checksum recalculation and data rebuild. In case of
connection failure DST will try to reconnect to the remote node automatically.
DST sends ping commands at idle time to detect if remote node is alive.
Because of transactional model it is possible to use zero-copy sending
without worry of data corruption (which in turn could be detected by the
strong checksums though).
Transactions are handled in this patch: allocation/freeing/completion,
scanning for stall and to-be-resent transactions and overall management
of the storing tree.

Kernel currently does not allow to queue work into some entity which
will perform it in the process context and have simple way to extend
number of worker and work with them not as separate objects, but with
pool as a whole. So thread pool model was implemented in the DST.
Thread pool abstraction allows to schedule a work to be performed
on behalf of kernel thread. One does not operate with threads itself,
instead user provides setup and cleanup callbacks for thread pool itself,
and action and cleanup callbacks for each submitted work.
Each worker has private data initialized at creation time and data,
provided by user at scheduling time.
When action is being performed, thread can not be used by other users,
instead they will sleep until there is free thread to pick their work.
Thread pool is used for crypto processing of incoming and outgoing IO
requests to reduce the overall overhead.

This patch introduces remote (export) node machinery: initialization
address/port (and other socket parameters), export block device (can be
another DST storage for example or local device like /dev/sda1), local
IO processing engine (BIO state machines, receiving/submitting logic).
Network management for the export node like accepting new client, scheduling
its command processing thread, receiving/sending IO requests, all are placed
here.

This patch contains DST core files, which introduce
block layer, connector and sysfs registration glue and main headers.
Connector is used for the configuration of the node (its type, address,
device name and so on). Sysfs provides bits of information about running
devices in the following format:
+/*
+ * DST sysfs tree for device called 'storage':
+ *
+ * /sys/bus/dst/devices/storage/
+ * /sys/bus/dst/devices/storage/type : 192.168.4.80:1025
+ * /sys/bus/dst/devices/storage/size : 800
+ * /sys/bus/dst/devices/storage/name : storage
+ */
DST header contains structure definitions and protocol command description.
