readdir-ahead : Perform STACK_UNWIND outside of mutex locks

2017-01-10T04:52:28+00:00

Currently STACK_UNWIND is performnd within ctx->lock.
If readdir-ahead is loaded as a child of dht, then there
can be scenarios where the function calling STACK_UNWIND
becomes re-entrant. Its a good practice to not call
STACK_WIND/UNWIND within local mutex's

readdir-ahead: Enhance EOD detection logic

2017-01-06T04:27:50+00:00

Issue:
Currently end of directory is identified on obtaining a
readdirp_cbk with op_ret = 0 (i.e. 0 entries fetched in
readdirp). Thus an extra readdirp is required for every
directory just to identify EOD. Consider a case of listing
large number of small directories. The readdirp fops required
are doubled in that case.

Solution:
On reaching the EOD, posix sets the op_errno to ENOENT,
hence along with looking for 'op_ret == 0' we also
look for 'operrno == ENOENT' ehile checking for EOD condition

performance/readdir-ahead: limit cache size

2016-12-22T11:43:14+00:00

This patch introduces a new option called "rda-cache-limit", which is
the maximum value the entire readdir-ahead cache can grow into. Since,
readdir-ahead holds a reference to inode through dentries, this patch
also accounts memory stored by various xlators in inode contexts.

build: out-of-tree builds generates files in the wrong directory

2016-09-18T16:34:37+00:00

And minor cleanup of a few of the Makefile.am files while we're
at it.

Rewrite the make rules to do what xdrgen does. Now we can get rid
of xdrgen.

Note 1. netbsd6's sed doesn't do -i. Why are we still running
smoke tests on netbsd6 and not netbsd7? We barely support netbsd7
as it is.

Note 2. Why is/was libgfxdr.so (.../rpc/xdr/src/...) linked with
libglusterfs? A cut-and-paste mistake? It has no references to
symbols in libglusterfs.

Note3. "/#ifndef\|#define\|#endif/" (note the '\'s) is a _basic_
regex that matches the same lines as the _extended_ regex
"/#(ifndef|define|endif)/". To match the extended regex sed needs to
be run with -r on Linux; with -E on *BSD. However NetBSD's and
FreeBSD's sed helpfully also provide -r for compatibility. Using a
basic regex avoids having to use a kludge in order to run sed with
the correct option on OS X.

Note 4. Not copying the bit of xdrgen that inserts copyright/license
boilerplate. AFAIK it's silly to pretend that machine generated
files like these can be copyrighted or need license boilerplate.
The XDR source files have their own copyright and license; and
their copyrights are bound to be more up to date than old
boilerplate inserted by a script. From what I've seen of other
Open Source projects -- e.g. gcc and its C parser files generated
by yacc and lex -- IIRC they don't bother to add copyright/license
boilerplate to their generated files.

It appears that it's a long-standing feature of make (SysV, BSD,
gnu) for out-of-tree builds to helpfully pretend that the source
files it can find in the VPATH "exist" as if they are in the $cwd.
rpcgen doesn't work well in this situation and generates files
with "bad" #include directives.

E.g. if you `rpcgen ../../../../$srcdir/rpc/xdr/src/glusterfs3-xdr.x`,
you get an #include directive in the generated .c file like this:

  ...
  #include "../../../../$srcdir/rpc/xdr/src/glusterfs3-xdr.h"
  ...

which (obviously) results in compile errors on out-of-tree build
because the (generated) header file doesn't exist at that location.
Compared to `rpcgen ./glusterfs3-xdr.x` where you get:

  ...
  #include "glusterfs3-xdr.h"
  ...

Which is what we need. We have to resort to some Stupid Make Tricks
like the addition of various .PHONY targets to work around the VPATH
"help".

Warning: When doing an in-tree build, -I$(top_builddir)/rpc/xdr/...
looks exactly like -I$(top_srcdir)/rpc/xdr/...  Don't be fooled though.
And don't delete the -I$(top_builddir)/rpc/xdr/... bits

readdir-ahead: Prefetch xattrs needed by md-cache

2016-05-10T09:05:38+00:00

Problem:
Negative cache feature implementation in md-cache requires xattrs
returned by posix to be intercepted for every call that can possibly
return xattrs. This includes readdirp(). This is crucial to treat
missing keys in cache as a case of negative entry (returns ENODATA)

md-cache puts names of xattrs that it wants to cache in xdata and
passes it down to posix which returns the specified xattrs in the
callback. This is done in lookup() and readdirp(). Hence, a xattr
that is cached can be invalidated during readdirp_cbk too.

This is based on the assumption that readdirp() will always return
all xattrs that md-cache is interested in. However, this is not the
case when readdirp() call is served from readdir-ahead's cache.
readdir-ahead xlator will pre-fetch dentries during opendir_cbk
and readdirp. These internal readdirp() calls made by readdir-ahead
xlator does not set xdata in it's requests. Hence, no xattrs are
fetched and stored in it's internal cache.

This causes metadata loss in gluster-swift. md-cache returns ENODATA
during getxattr() call even though the xattr for that object exists on
the brick. On receiving ENODATA, gluster-swift will create new metadata
and do setxattr(). This results in loss of information stored in
existing xattr.

Fix:
During opendir, md-cache will communicate to readdir-ahead asking it
to store the names of xattrs it's interested in so that readdir-ahead
can fetch those in all subsequent internal readdirp() calls issued by
it. This stored names of xattrs is invalidated/updated on the next
real readdirp() call issued by application. This readdirp() call will
have xdata set correctly by md-cache xlator.

build: export minimum symbols from xlators for correct resolution

2015-12-22T17:15:01+00:00

Revisiting http://review.gluster.org/#/c/11814/, which unintentionally
introduced warnings from libtool about the xlator .so names.

According to [1], the -module option must appear in the Makefile.am
file(s); if -module is defined in a macro, e.g. in configure(.ac),
then libtool will not recognize that this is a module and will emit a
warning.

build: export minimum symbols from xlators for correct resolution

2015-09-24T14:37:42+00:00

We've been lucky that we haven't had any symbol collisions until now.
Now we have a collision between the snapview-client's svc_lookup() and
libntirpc's svc_lookup() with nfs-ganesha's FSAL_GLUSTER and libgfapi.

As a short term solution all the snapview-client's FOP methods were
changed to static scope. See http://review.gluster.org/11805. This
works in snapview-client because all the FOP methods are defined in
a single source file. This solution doesn't work for other xlators
with FOP methods defined in multiple source files.

To address this we link with libtool's '-export-symbols $symbol-file'
(a wrapper around `ld --version-script ...` --- on linux anyway) and
only export the minimum required symbols from the xlator sharedlib.

N.B. the libtool man page says that the symbol file should be named
foo.sym, thus the rename of *.exports to *.sym. While foo.exports
worked, we will follow the documentation.

build: do not #include "config.h" in each file

2015-05-29T12:43:17+00:00

Instead of including config.h in each file, and have the additional
config.h included from the compiler commandline (-include option).

When a .c file tests for a certain #define, and config.h was not
included, incorrect assumtions were made. With this change, it can not
happen again.
