zerofill: Change the type of len argument of glfs_zerofill() to off_t

2013-11-15T07:29:48+00:00

glfs_zerofill() can be potentially called to zero-out entire file and
hence allow for bigger value of length parameter.

glusterfs: zerofill support

2013-11-11T05:25:49+00:00

Add support for a new ZEROFILL fop. Zerofill writes zeroes to a file in
the specified range. This fop will be useful when a whole file needs to
be initialized with zero (could be useful for zero filled VM disk image
provisioning or  during scrubbing of VM disk images).

Client/application can issue this FOP for zeroing out. Gluster server
will zero out required range of bytes ie server offloaded zeroing. In
the absence of this fop,  client/application has to repetitively issue
write (zero) fop to the server, which is very inefficient method because
of the overheads involved in RPC calls  and acknowledgements.

WRITESAME is a  SCSI T10 command that takes a block of data as input and
writes the same data to other blocks and this write is handled
completely within the storage and hence is known as offload . Linux ,now
has support for SCSI WRITESAME command which is exposed to the user in
the form of BLKZEROOUT ioctl.  BD Xlator can exploit BLKZEROOUT ioctl to
implement this fop. Thus zeroing out operations can be completely
offloaded to the storage device , making it highly efficient.

The fop takes two arguments offset and size. It zeroes out 'size' number
of bytes in an opened file starting from 'offset' position.

This patch adds zerofill support to the following areas:
	- libglusterfs
	- io-stats
	- performance/md-cache,open-behind
	- quota
	- cluster/afr,dht,stripe
	- rpc/xdr
	- protocol/client,server
	- io-threads
	- marker
	- storage/posix
	- libgfapi

Client applications can exloit this fop by using glfs_zerofill introduced in
libgfapi.FUSE support to this fop has not been added as there is no system call
for this fop.

Changes from previous version 3:
* Removed redundant memory failure log messages

Changes from previous version 2:
* Rebased and fixed build error

Changes from previous version 1:
* Rebased for latest master

TODO :
     * Add zerofill support to trace xlator
     * Expose zerofill capability as part of gluster volume info

Here is a performance comparison of server offloaded zeofill vs zeroing
out using repeated writes.

[root@llmvm02 remote]# time ./offloaded aakash-test log 20

real	3m34.155s
user	0m0.018s
sys	0m0.040s
[root@llmvm02 remote]# time ./manually aakash-test log 20

real	4m23.043s
user	0m2.197s

[root@llmvm02 remote]# time ./manually aakash-test log 25

real	5m34.278s
user	0m2.957s
sys	0m18.808s

The argument log is a file which we want to set for logging purpose and
the third argument is size in GB .

As we can see there is a performance improvement of around 20% with this
fop.

glusterfs: discard (hole punch) support

2013-06-13T21:37:43+00:00

Add support for the DISCARD file operation. Discard punches a hole
in a file in the provided range. Block de-allocation is implemented
via fallocate() (as requested via fuse and passed on to the brick
fs) but a separate fop is created within gluster to emphasize the
fact that discard changes file data (the discarded region is
replaced with zeroes) and must invalidate caches where appropriate.

gluster: add fallocate fop support

2013-06-13T21:37:21+00:00

Implement support for the fallocate file operation. fallocate
allocates blocks for a particular inode such that future writes
to the associated region of the file are guaranteed not to fail
with ENOSPC.

Problem:
volume_options struct for open-behind and quick-read xlators
were not NULL terminated.

Fix:
Make them NULL terminated.

If opening fd in background fails, then remember the error and

Use the newly introduced call_unwind_error() function from
call-stub cleanup to fail the future calls.

open-behind: translator to perform open calls in background

2013-02-06T21:16:08+00:00

This is functionality peeled out of quick-read into a separate
translator.

Fops which modify the file (where it is required to perform the
operation on the true fd) will trigger and wait for the backend
open to succeed and use that fd.

Fops like fstat() readv() etc. will use anonymous FD (configurable)
when original fd is unopened at the backend.
