Commit Message

Currently stripe unit/width checking logic is all over xfsprogs.
So, refactor the same code snippet into a single validation helper
xfs_validate_stripe_factors(), including:
 - integer overflows of either value
 - sunit and swidth alignment wrt sector size
 - if either sunit or swidth are zero, both should be zero
 - swidth must be a multiple of sunit

Signed-off-by: Gao Xiang <hsiangkao@redhat.com>

This patch follows Darrick's original suggestion [1], yet I'm
not sure if I'm doing the right thing or if something is still
missing (e.g the meaning of six(ish) places)... So post it
right now...

TBH, especially all these naming and the helper location (whether
in topology.c)...plus, click a dislike on calc_stripe_factors()
itself...

(Hopefully hear some advice about this... Thanks!)

libfrog functions (and enums) should be prefixed with libfrog, not xfs.

LIBFROG_STRIPEVAL_{OK,SUNIT_MISALIGN, etc.}

Strange that a validator function has out parameters...

Also, uh, .... full names, please.

	int	*sunitp,
	int	*swidthp)

(I'm vaguely wondering why we use signed ints here vs. unsigned, but
that isn't critical...)

Hmm.  On input, *sup is in units of bytes, but on output it can be in
units of 512b blocks?  That is very surprising...

...especially since in the !sectorsize case we don't change it at all.

Invalid how?  We know the exact reason, so we should say so.

Ack. Sorry about that.

see the reasons below...

That is because I saw many previous "sunit/swidth" usage in the codebase
by using "int" rather than "unsigned int". I don't have much tendency
of this. (either form is ok with me since signed int is also enough here.)

Yeah, It seems a bit weird at first. But I have no better idea
how to fulfill/wrap up "- sunit and swidth alignment wrt sector
size" check from the original thread in the validator helper.

So I finally implemented the helper in a form which accepts
either:
 [1] (sectersize != 0) dsu (in bytes) / dsw (which is multiple of dsu)

Or
 [2] (sectersize == 0) dunit / dwidth (in 512b sector size)

In [1], dsu and dsw would be turned into dunit / dwidth finally...


Yeah, that's my premature thought about this tho... hope for better
idea about this :)

big_dswidth isn't defined here.
So I'm not sure if the original message can still be properly used here.
(I could leave it alone...)

Okay, let me think more about some cleaner way for these message.
I feel it could be a bit messy here.
