[LU-1139] Put FID into the wire directly by OBD_CONNECT_FID

Duplicate — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 10:16:17 +0000

Description from Andreas
" this makes me wonder if we can also use OBD_CONNECT_FID to change ost_id in lov_mds_md, obdo, etc to be a fid? this would clean up a bunch of code
[2:50:19 PM PDT] wangdi: this probably makes more sense.
[2:51:22 PM PDT] Andreas Dilger: i.e. it could use:

struct ost_fid {
union

{ struct lu_fid oi_fid; struct ost_id oi_id; }

;
};
[2:52:37 PM PDT] Andreas Dilger: it would make all the code conditional to check if oi_id.oi_seq != 0 and treat it as an lu_fid
[2:53:01 PM PDT] wangdi: ok
[2:53:59 PM PDT] Andreas Dilger: the first step (which Johann has already started on in one patch on orion, but needs more) is to convert all of the code to using struct ost_id instead of separate o_id and o_gr/o_seq
[2:55:01 PM PDT] Andreas Dilger: this will simplify a bunch of code already to allow struct copying instead of separate fields, and I also saw several places where e.g. o_seq was not being used properly
[2:55:43 PM PDT] wangdi: I wonder wheather we should bring res_id in as well? probably not
[2:55:50 PM PDT] Andreas Dilger: this should be done in small patches (e.g. one patch per struct) and targetted at master
[2:55:59 PM PDT] wangdi: ok
