A few months ago I was working on extending these interfaces (well, the
p{read,write}* ones and AIO) to tack on an IO extension buffer at the end of
the syscall arguments.

Hrmm, I guess I never /did/ send out a v2 after LSF. The last time we
discussed this[1], the discussion ended with the creation of a structure that
looked something like this:

/* IO extension flags */
#define IO_EXT_PI (1) /* protection info (checksums, etc) */
#define IO_EXT_REPLICA (0x2) /* replica */
#define IO_EXT_ALL (IO_EXT_PI | IO_EXT_REPLICA)

/* IO extension descriptor */
struct io_extension {
__u64 ie_has;

/* PI stuff */
__u64 ie_pi_buf;
__u32 ie_pi_buflen;
__u64 ie_pi_flags;

/* which replica do you want? */
__u32 ie_replica;
};

Given the suggestion of avoiding an explosion of syscalls (here by stuffing all
these bits into a structure), I wonder what people think of moving 'int flags'
into this structure? At least for the pread/pwrite variants since they already
have a lot of parameters, and for AIO whose struct iocb only has enough room
left for one pointer.

(For anyone paying attention to the original IO extension discussion: I've been
working on plumbing in the ie_replica parameter -- if your FS/blockdev/whatever
can store/fetch alternate copies of a data block, you can request a specific
copy. Or I suppose one could interpret it as a "desperation" parameter; the
higher the number, the more extraordinary measures the storage can take to
recover data.)
