/*
* CEPH_IOC_GET_LAYOUT - get file layout or dir layout policy
* CEPH_IOC_SET_LAYOUT - set file layout
* CEPH_IOC_SET_LAYOUT_POLICY - set dir layout policy
*
* The file layout specifies how file data is striped over objects in
* the distributed object store, which object pool they belong to (if
* it differs from the default), and an optional 'preferred osd' to
* store them on.
*
* Files get a new layout based on the policy set on the containing
* directory or one of its ancestors. The GET_LAYOUT ioctl will let
* you examine the layout for a file or the policy on a directory.
*
* SET_LAYOUT will let you set a layout on a newly created file. This
* only works immediately after the file is created and before any
* data is written to it.
*
* SET_LAYOUT_POLICY will let you set a layout policy (default layout)
* on a directory that will apply to any new files created in that
* directory (or any child directory that doesn't specify a layout of
* its own).

* CEPH_IOC_LAZYIO - relax consistency
*
* Normally Ceph switches to synchronous IO when multiple clients have
* the file open (and or more for write). Reads and writes bypass the
* page cache and go directly to the OSD. Setting this flag on a file
* descriptor will allow buffered IO for this file in cases where the
* application knows it won't interfere with other nodes (or doesn't

* CEPH_IOC_SYNCIO - force synchronous IO
*
* This ioctl sets a file flag that forces the synchronous IO that
* bypasses the page cache, even if it is not necessary. This is
* essentially the opposite behavior of IOC_LAZYIO. This forces the
* same read/write path as a file opened by multiple clients when one
* or more of those clients is opened for write.
*
* Note that this type of sync IO takes a different path than a file
* opened with O_SYNC/D_SYNC (writes hit the page cache and are
* immediately flushed on page boundaries). It is very similar to
* O_DIRECT (writes bypass the page cache) excep that O_DIRECT writes
* are not copied (user page must remain stable) and O_DIRECT writes
* have alignment restrictions (on the buffer and file offset).
