Scenarios tested:

* Upgrade the node when there are stripe / tiering and regular
type of volumes are present.
  - All volumes are started fine (as the change was not on brick volfile)
  - For tier, the functionality may not even work, as changetimerecorder
    is not present.
  - 'gluster volume info' properly shows as 'NOT SUPPORTED' for stripe and
    tier type of volume.

* Upgrade in a rolling upgrade scenario, where an old version is
able to connect to higher master.
  - on a normal volume, if the volfile-server was new, the newer client
    volfiles needed to have utime xlator conditionally.
  - with this one change, all other changes seem to work fine.

<title>mount/fuse: expose auto-invalidation as a mount option</title>
<updated>2019-02-02T03:07:35+00:00</updated>

<id>a229ee1c8cdf8e0ac1abaeb60cabe6ab08f60546</id>
<content type='text'>
Auto invalidation is necessary when same (meta)data is shared/access
across multiple mounts. However, if (meta)data is not shared, all
relevant I/O goes through the cache of single mount and hence is
coherent with (meta)data on bricks always. So, fuse-auto-invalidation
can be disabled for this case which gives a huge performance boost for
workloads that write data and then immediately read the data they just
wrote.

From glusterfs --help,

&lt;snip&gt;
      --auto-invalidation[=BOOL]   controls whether fuse-kernel can
                             auto-invalidate attribute, dentry and page-cache.
                             Disable this only if same files/directories are
                             not accessed across two different mounts
                             concurrently [default: "on"]
&lt;/snip&gt;

Details on how disabling auto-invalidation helped to reduce pgbench
init times can be found at [1]. Time taken for pgbench init of scale
8000 was 8340s. That will be an improvement of 86% (59280s vs 8340s)
with auto-invalidations turned off along with other
optimizations. Just disabling auto-invalidation contributed 56%
improvement by reducing the total time taken by 33260s.

<title>cluster/thin-arbiter: Consider thin-arbiter before marking new entry changelog</title>

<content type='text'>
If a fop to create an entry fails on one of the data brick,
we mark the pending changelog on the entry on brick for which
it was successful. This is done as part of post op phase to
make sure that entry gets healed even if it gets renamed to
some other path where its parent was not marked as bad.

As it happens as part of post op, we should consider thin-arbiter
to check if the brick, which was successful, is the good brick or not.
This will avoide split brain and other issues.

<title>readdir-ahead: do not zero-out iatt in fop cbk</title>

...when ctime is zero. ia_type and ia_gfid always need to be non-zero
for things to work correctly.

Problem:
Commit c9bde3021202f1d5c5a2d19ac05a510fc1f788ac zeroed out the iatt
buffer in the cbks of modification fops before unwinding if the ctime in
the buffer was zero. This was causing the fops to fail: noticeable when
AFR's 'consistent-metadata' option was enabled. (AFR zeros out the ctime
when the option is set. See commit
4c4624c9bad2edf27128cb122c64f15d7d63bbc8).

Fixes:
-Do not zero out the ia_type and ia_gfid of the iatt buff under any
circumstance.
-Also, fixed _rda_inode_ctx_update_iatts() to always update these values from
the incoming buf when ctime is zero. Otherwise we end up with zero
ia_type and ia_gfid the first time the function is called *and* the
incoming buf has ctime set to zero.

fixes: bz#1670253

<title>features/shard: Ref shard inode while adding to fsync list</title>

PROBLEM:

Lot of the earlier changes in the management of shards in lru, fsync
lists assumed that if a given shard exists in fsync list, it must be
part of lru list as well. This was found to be not true.

Consider this - a file is FALLOCATE'd to a size which would make the
number of participant shards to be greater than the lru list size.
In this case, some of the resolved shards that are to participate in
this fop will be evicted from lru list to give way to the rest of the
shards. And once FALLOCATE completes, these shards are added to fsync
list but without a ref. After the fop completes, these shard inodes
are unref'd and destroyed while their inode ctxs are still part of
fsync list. Now when an FSYNC is called on the base file and the
fsync-list traversed, the client crashes due to illegal memory access.

FIX:

Hold a ref on the shard inode when adding to fsync list as well.
And unref under following conditions:
1. when the shard is evicted from lru list
2. when the base file is fsync'd
3. when the shards are deleted.

There is a low level security issue with fencing since one client
can preempt another client's lock.

This patch does not completely eliminate the issue of a client
misbehaving, but certainly it adds a security layer for default use cases
that does not need fencing.
