&lt;man 3 qsort&gt;

     The  contents  of the array are sorted in ascending order
     according to a comparison function pointed to by compar, which is
     called with two arguments that "point to the objects being
     compared".

&lt;/man 3 qsort&gt;

qsort passes "pointers to members of the array" to comparision
function. Since the members of the array happen to be (dht_lock_t *),
the arguments passed to dht_lock_request_cmp are of type (dht_lock_t
**). Previously we assumed them to be of type (dht_lock_t *), which
resulted in memory corruption.

              on single brick(non first up subvolume).

Problem: If snapshot is taken, when mkdir has succeeded only on
hashed_subvolume, then after restoring snapshot the directory
is not shown on mount point.

Why:    dht_readdirp takes only those directory entries in to
account, which are present on first_up_subvolume. Hence, if the
"hashed subvolume" is not same as first_up_subvolume, it wont be listed
on mount point and also not healed.

Solution:
Case 1: (Rebalance not running)If hashed subvolume is NULL or down then
filter in first_up_subvolume. Other wise the corresponding hashed subvolume
will take care of the directory entry.

Case 2: If readdirp_optimize option is turned on then read from first_up_subvol

Files that are being rebalanced are created in the new volume
and access path needs to open these files to write changing
data in parallel to both the old and new locations. While opening
the file in the new location, we need to restrict the open flags
to not use truncate or create and fail if exist flags, to prevent
open failures or inadvertently truncate the file under rebalance.

<title>syncop: Change return value of syncop</title>

<id>8d55c25f158921b508bff0e7f25158991913f922</id>
<content type='text'>
Problem:
We found a day-1 bug when syncop_xxx() infra is used inside a synctask with
compilation optimization (CFLAGS -O2).

Detailed explanation of the Root cause:
We found the bug in 'gf_defrag_migrate_data' in rebalance operation:

Lets look at interesting parts of the function:

int
gf_defrag_migrate_data (xlator_t *this, gf_defrag_info_t *defrag, loc_t *loc,
                        dict_t *migrate_data)
{
.....
code section - [ Loop ]
        while ((ret = syncop_readdirp (this, fd, 131072, offset, NULL,
                                       &amp;entries)) != 0) {
.....
code section - [ ERRNO-1 ] (errno of readdirp is stored in readdir_operrno by a
thread)
                /* Need to keep track of ENOENT errno, that means, there is no
                   need to send more readdirp() */
                readdir_operrno = errno;
.....
code section - [ SYNCOP-1 ] (syncop_getxattr is called by a thread)
                        ret = syncop_getxattr (this, &amp;entry_loc, &amp;dict,
                                               GF_XATTR_LINKINFO_KEY);
code section - [ ERRNO-2]   (checking for failures of syncop_getxattr(). This
may not always be executed in same thread which executed [SYNCOP-1])
                        if (ret &lt; 0) {
                                if (errno != ENODATA) {
                                        loglevel = GF_LOG_ERROR;
                                        defrag-&gt;total_failures += 1;
.....
}

the function above could be executed by thread(t1) till [SYNCOP-1] and code
from [ERRNO-2] can be executed by a different thread(t2) because of the way
syncop-infra schedules the tasks.

when the code is compiled with -O2 optimization this is the assembly code that
is generated:
 [ERRNO-1]
1165                        readdir_operrno = errno; &lt;&lt;---- errno gets expanded
as *(__errno_location())

   0x00007fd149d48b79 &lt;+521&gt;:        mov    %eax,0x78(%rsp)
....
 [ERRNO-2]
1281                                        if (errno != ENODATA) {
   0x00007fd149d492ae &lt;+2366&gt;:        mov    0x50(%rsp),%rax &lt;&lt;-----  Because
it already stored the address returned by __errno_location(), it just
dereferences the address to get the errno value. BUT THIS CODE NEED NOT BE
EXECUTED BY SAME THREAD!!!
   0x00007fd149d492b3 &lt;+2371&gt;:        mov    $0x9,%ebp
   0x00007fd149d492b8 &lt;+2376&gt;:        mov    (%rax),%edi
   0x00007fd149d492ba &lt;+2378&gt;:        cmp    $0x3d,%edi

The problem is that __errno_location() value of t1 and t2 are different. So
[ERRNO-2] ends up reading errno of t1 instead of errno of t2 even though t2 is
executing [ERRNO-2] code section.

When code is compiled without any optimization for [ERRNO-2]:
1281                                        if (errno != ENODATA) {
   0x00007fd58e7a326f &lt;+2237&gt;:        callq  0x7fd58e797300
&lt;address@hidden&gt;&lt;&lt;--- As it is calling __errno_location() again it gets the
location from t2 so it works as intended.
   0x00007fd58e7a3274 &lt;+2242&gt;:        mov    (%rax),%eax
   0x00007fd58e7a3276 &lt;+2244&gt;:        cmp    $0x3d,%eax
   0x00007fd58e7a3279 &lt;+2247&gt;:        je     0x7fd58e7a32a1
&lt;gf_defrag_migrate_data+2287&gt;

Fix:
Make syncop_xxx() return (-errno) value as the return value in
case of errors and all the functions which make syncop_xxx() will need to use
(-ret) to figure out the reason for failure in case of syncop_xxx() failures.

Problem:
We found a day-1 bug when syncop_xxx() infra is used inside a synctask with
compilation optimization (CFLAGS -O2).

Detailed explanation of the Root cause:
We found the bug in 'gf_defrag_migrate_data' in rebalance operation:

Lets look at interesting parts of the function:

int
gf_defrag_migrate_data (xlator_t *this, gf_defrag_info_t *defrag, loc_t *loc,
                        dict_t *migrate_data)
{
.....
code section - [ Loop ]
        while ((ret = syncop_readdirp (this, fd, 131072, offset, NULL,
                                       &amp;entries)) != 0) {
.....
code section - [ ERRNO-1 ] (errno of readdirp is stored in readdir_operrno by a
thread)
                /* Need to keep track of ENOENT errno, that means, there is no
                   need to send more readdirp() */
                readdir_operrno = errno;
.....
code section - [ SYNCOP-1 ] (syncop_getxattr is called by a thread)
                        ret = syncop_getxattr (this, &amp;entry_loc, &amp;dict,
                                               GF_XATTR_LINKINFO_KEY);
code section - [ ERRNO-2]   (checking for failures of syncop_getxattr(). This
may not always be executed in same thread which executed [SYNCOP-1])
                        if (ret &lt; 0) {
                                if (errno != ENODATA) {
                                        loglevel = GF_LOG_ERROR;
                                        defrag-&gt;total_failures += 1;
.....
}

the function above could be executed by thread(t1) till [SYNCOP-1] and code
from [ERRNO-2] can be executed by a different thread(t2) because of the way
syncop-infra schedules the tasks.

   0x00007fd149d48b79 &lt;+521&gt;:        mov    %eax,0x78(%rsp)
....
 [ERRNO-2]
1281                                        if (errno != ENODATA) {

   0x00007fd149d492ba &lt;+2378&gt;:        cmp    $0x3d,%edi
