The userspace component attempts to do this, but this will prevent
us from even needing to go into userspace to satisfy certain getattr
requests.

Emit the logging messages at the appropriate levels.
Miscellanea:
o Change format to fmt
o Use the more common ##__VA_ARGS__

The former can potentially be a performance win over the latter.
memcpy(d, s, len);
memset(d+len, c, size-len);
memset(d, c, size);
memcpy(d, s, len);

Thus d_revalidate is not obliged to check on as much, which will
eventually lead the way to hammering the filesystem servers much less.

OrangeFS was formerly known as PVFS2 and retains the name in many places.
I leave the device /dev/pvfs2-req since this affects userspace.
I leave the filesystem type pvfs2 since this affects userspace. Further
the OrangeFS sysint library reads fstab for an entry of type pvfs2
independently of kernel mounts.
I leave extended attribute keys user.pvfs2 and system.pvfs2 as the
sysint library understands these.
I leave references to userspace binaries still named pvfs2.
I leave the filenames.

Errors from the server need to be decoded. A bunch of code was imported from
the server to do this but much of it is convoluted and not even needed. The
result is better but still as convoluted as required by the protocol.

spinlock_types.h requires types from linux/types.h.
Including spinlock_types.h first may result in the following build errors,
as seen with arm:allmodconfig.
arch/arm/include/asm/spinlock_types.h:12:3: error: unknown type name 'u32'
arch/arm/include/asm/spinlock_types.h:16:4: error: unknown type name 'u16'

OrangeFS (formerly PVFS) is an lgpl licensed userspace networked parallel
file system. OrangeFS can be accessed through included system utilities,
user integration libraries, MPI-IO and can be used by the Hadoop
ecosystem as an alternative to the HDFS filesystem. OrangeFS is used
widely for parallel science, data analytics and engineering applications.
While applications often don't require Orangefs to be mounted into
the VFS, users do like to be able to access their files in the normal way.
The Orangefs kernel client allows Orangefs filesystems to be mounted as
a VFS. The kernel client communicates with a userspace daemon which in
turn communicates with the Orangefs server daemons that implement the
filesystem. The server daemons (there's almost always more than one)
need not be running on the same host as the kernel client.
Orangefs filesystems can also be mounted with FUSE, and we
ship code and instructions to facilitate that, but most of our users
report preferring to use our kernel module instead. Further, as an example
of a problem we can't solve with fuse, we have in the works a
not-yet-ready-for-prime-time version of a file_operations lock function
that accounts for the server daemons being distributed across more
than one running kernel.
Many people and organizations, including Clemson University,
Argonne National Laboratories and Acxiom Corporation have
helped to create what has become Orangefs over more than twenty
years. Some of the more recent contributors to the kernel client
include:
