* bd: Add support to create clone, snapshot and merge of LV images.M. Mohan Kumar2013-11-133-46/+607
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Special xattr names "clone" & "snapshot" can be used to create full and linked clone of the LV images. GFID of destination posix file (to be mapped) is passed as a value to the xattr. Destination posix file must exist before running this operation. These operations form a basis for offloading storage related operations from QEMU to GlusterFS. Syntax for full clone: xattr name: "clone" value: "gfid-of-dest-file" Syntax for linked clone: xattr name: "snapshot" value: "gfid-of-dest-file" Syntax for merging: xattr name: "merge" value: "path-to-snapshot-file" Example: setfattr -n clone -v <gfid-of-dest-file> /media/source setfattr -n snapshot -v <gfid-of-dest-file> /media/source setfattr -n merge -v "/media/sn" /media/sn Change-Id: Id9f984a709d4c2e52a64ae75bb12a8ecb01f8776 BUG: 1028672 Signed-off-by: M.

* bd: posix/multi-brick support to BD xlatorM. Mohan Kumar2013-11-135-0/+2772
Current BD xlator (block backend) has a few limitations such as * Creation of directories not supported * Supports only single brick * Does not use extended attributes (and client gfid) like posix xlator * Creation of special files (symbolic links, device nodes etc) not supported Basic limitation of not allowing directory creation is blocking oVirt/VDSM to consume BD xlator as part of Gluster domain since VDSM creates multi-level directories when GlusterFS is used as storage backend for storing VM images. To overcome these limitations a new BD xlator with following improvements is suggested. * New hybrid BD xlator that handles both regular files and block device files * The volume will have both POSIX and BD bricks. Regular files are created on POSIX bricks, block devices are created on the BD brick (VG) * BD xlator leverages exiting POSIX xlator for most POSIX calls and hence sits above the POSIX xlator * Block device file is differentiated from regular file by an extended attribute * The xattr 'user.glusterfs.bd' (BD_XATTR) plays a role in mapping a posix file to Logical Volume (LV). * When a client sends a request to set BD_XATTR on a posix file, a new LV is created and mapped to posix file. So every block device will have a representative file in POSIX brick with 'user.glusterfs.bd' (BD_XATTR) set. * Here after all operations on this file results in LV related operations. For example opening a file that has BD_XATTR set results in opening the LV block device, reading results in reading the corresponding LV block device. When BD xlator gets request to set BD_XATTR via setxattr call, it creates a LV and information about this LV is placed in the xattr of the posix file. xattr "user.glusterfs.bd" used to identify that posix file is mapped to BD. Usage: Server side: [root@host1 ~]# gluster volume create bdvol host1:/storage/vg1_info?vg1 host2:/storage/vg2_info?vg2 It creates a distributed gluster volume 'bdvol' with Volume Group vg1 using posix brick /storage/vg1_info in host1 and Volume Group vg2 using /storage/vg2_info in host2. [root@host1 ~]# gluster volume start bdvol Client side: [root@node ~]# mount -t glusterfs host1:/bdvol /media [root@node ~]# touch /media/posix It creates regular posix file 'posix' in either host1:/vg1 or host2:/vg2 brick [root@node ~]# mkdir /media/image [root@node ~]# touch /media/image/lv1 It also creates regular posix file 'lv1' in either host1:/vg1 or host2:/vg2 brick [root@node ~]# setfattr -n "user.glusterfs.bd" -v "lv" /media/image/lv1 [root@node ~]# Above setxattr results in creating a new LV in corresponding brick's VG and it sets 'user.glusterfs.bd' with value 'lv:<default-extent-size' [root@node ~]# truncate -s5G /media/image/lv1 It results in resizig LV 'lv1'to 5G New BD xlator code is placed in xlators/storage/bd directory. Also add volume-uuid to the VG so that same VG can't be used for other bricks/volumes. After deleting a gluster volume, one has to manually remove the associated tag using vgchange <vg-name> --deltag <trusted.glusterfs.volume-id:<volume-id>> Changes from previous version V5: * Removed support for delayed deleting of LVs Changes from previous version V4: * Consolidated the patches * Removed usage of BD_XATTR_SIZE and consolidated it in BD_XATTR. Changes from previous version V3: * Added support in FUSE to support full/linked clone * Added support to merge snapshots and provide information about origin * bd_map xlator removed * iatt structure used in inode_ctx. iatt is cached and updated during fsync/flush * aio support * Type and capabilities of volume are exported through getxattr Changes from version 2: * Used inode_context for caching BD size and to check if loc/fd is BD or not. * Added GlusterFS server offloaded copy and snapshot through setfattr FOP. As part of this libgfapi is modified. * BD xlator supports stripe * During unlinking if a LV file is already opened, its added to delete list and bd_del_thread tries to delete from this list when a last reference to that file is closed. Changes from previous version: * gfid is used as name of LV * ? is used to specify VG name for creating BD volume in volume create, add-brick. gluster volume create volname host:/path?vg * open-behind issue is fixed * A replicate brick can be added dynamically and LVs from source brick are replicated to destination brick * A distribute brick can be added dynamically and rebalance operation distributes existing LVs/files to the new brick * Thin provisioning support added. * bd_map xlator support retained * setfattr -n user.glusterfs.bd -v "lv" creates a regular LV and setfattr -n user.glusterfs.bd -v "thin" creates thin LV * Capability and backend information added to gluster volume info (and --xml) so that management tools can exploit BD xlator. * tracing support for bd xlator added TODO: * Add support to display snapshots for a given LV * Display posix filename for list-origin instead of gfid Change-Id: I00d32dfbab3b7c806e0841515c86c3aa519332f2 BUG: 1028672 Signed-off-by: M.
