libceph: change how "safe" callback is used
An osd request currently has two callbacks. They inform the initiator of the request when we've received confirmation for the target osd that a request was received, and when the osd indicates all changes described by the request are durable. The only time the second callback is used is in the ceph file system for a synchronous write. There's a race that makes some handling of this case unsafe. This patch addresses this problem. The error handling for this callback is also kind of gross, and this patch changes that as well. In ceph_sync_write(), if a safe callback is requested we want to add the request on the ceph inode's unsafe items list. Because items on this list must have their tid set (by ceph_osd_start_request()), the request added *after* the call to that function returns. The problem with this is that there's a race between starting the request and adding it to the unsafe items list; the request may already be complete before ceph_sync_write() even begins to put it on the list. To address this, we change the way the "safe" callback is used. Rather than just calling it when the request is "safe", we use it to notify the initiator the bounds (start and end) of the period during which the request is *unsafe*. So the initiator gets notified just before the request gets sent to the osd (when it is "unsafe"), and again when it's known the results are durable (it's no longer unsafe). The first call will get made in __send_request(), just before the request message gets sent to the messenger for the first time. That function is only called by __send_queued(), which is always called with the osd client's request mutex held. We then have this callback function insert the request on the ceph inode's unsafe list when we're told the request is unsafe. This will avoid the race because this call will be made under protection of the osd client's request mutex. It also nicely groups the setup and cleanup of the state associated with managing unsafe requests. The name of the "safe" callback field is changed to "unsafe" to better reflect its new purpose. It has a Boolean "unsafe" parameter to indicate whether the request is becoming unsafe or is now safe. Because the "msg" parameter wasn't used, we drop that.
