-		  HOW TO ADD A NEW FOP TO GlusterFS
-		  =================================
-
-Steps to be followed when adding a new FOP to GlusterFS:
-
-1. Edit glusterfs.h and add a GF_FOP_* constant.
-
-2. Edit xlator.[ch] and:
-   2a. add the new prototype for fop and callback.
-   2b. edit xlator_fops structure.
-
-3. Edit xlator.c and add to fill_defaults.
-
-4. Edit protocol.h and add struct necessary for the new FOP.
-
-5. Edit defaults.[ch] and provide default implementation.
-
-6. Edit call-stub.[ch] and provide stub implementation.
-
-7. Edit common-utils.c and add to gf_global_variable_init().
-
-8. Edit client-protocol and add your FOP.
-
-9. Edit server-protocol and add your FOP.
-
-10. Implement your FOP in any translator for which the default implementation
-    is not sufficient.

-* How does file translates to key/value pair?
----------------------------------------------
-
-  in bdb a file is identified by key (obtained by taking basename() of the path of
-the file) and file contents are stored as value corresponding to the key in database
-file (defaults to glusterfs_storage.db under dirname() directory).
-
-* symlinks, directories
------------------------
-
-  symlinks and directories are stored as is.
-
-* db (database) files
----------------------
-
-  every directory, including root directory, contains a database file called
-glusterfs_storage.db. all the regular files contained in the directory are stored
-as key/value pair inside the glusterfs_storage.db.
-
-* internal data cache
----------------------
-
-  db does not provide a way to find out the size of the value corresponding to a key. 
-so, bdb makes DB->get() call for key and takes the length of the value returned. 
-since DB->get() also returns file contents for key, bdb maintains an internal cache and
-stores the file contents in the cache.
-  every directory maintains a seperate cache.
-  
-* inode number transformation
------------------------------
-
-  bdb allocates a inode number to each file and directory on its own. bdb maintains a 
-global counter and increments it after allocating inode number for each file
-(regular, symlink or directory). NOTE: bdb does not guarantee persistent inode numbers.
-
-* checkpoint thread
--------------------
-
-  bdb creates a checkpoint thread at the time of init(). checkpoint thread does a 
-periodic checkpoint on the DB_ENV. checkpoint is the mechanism, provided by db, to 
-forcefully commit the logged transactions to the storage.
-
-NOTES ABOUT FOPS:
------------------
-
-lookup() -
- 1> do lstat() on the path, if lstat fails, we assume that the file being looked up
-    is either a regular file or doesn't exist.
- 2> lookup in the DB of parent directory for key corresponding to path. if key exists,
-    return key, with. 
-    NOTE: 'struct stat' stat()ed from DB file is used as a container for 'struct stat'
-           of the regular file. st_ino, st_size, st_blocks are updated with file's values.
-
-readv() -
- 1> do a lookup in bctx cache. if successful, return the requested data from cache.
- 2> if cache missed, do a DB->get() the entire file content and insert to cache.
-
-writev():
- 1> flush any cached content of this file.
- 2> do a DB->put(), with DB_DBT_PARTIAL flag. 
-    NOTE: DB_DBT_PARTIAL is used to do partial update of a value in DB.
-
-readdir():
- 1> regular readdir() in a loop, and vomit all DB_ENV log files and DB files that
-    we encounter.
- 2> if the readdir() buffer still has space, open a DB cursor and do a sequential
-    DBC->get() to fill the reaadir buffer.

-creating a call stub and pausing a call
----------------------------------------
-libglusterfs provides seperate API to pause each of the fop. parameters to each API is
-@frame - call frame which has to be used to resume the call at call_resume().
-@fn    - procedure to call during call_resume(). 
-       NOTE: @fn should exactly take the same type and number of parameters that 
-             the corresponding regular fop takes.
-rest will be the regular parameters to corresponding fop.
-
-NOTE: @frame can never be NULL. fop_<operation>_stub() fails with errno
-      set to EINVAL, if @frame is NULL. also wherever @loc is applicable,
-      @loc cannot be NULL.
-
-refer to individual stub creation API to know about call-stub creation's behaviour with
-specific parameters.
-
-here is the list of stub creation APIs for xlator fops.

-  void call_resume (call_stub_t *stub);
-
-  stub - call stub created during pausing a call.
-
-  NOTE: call_resume() will decrease reference count of any fd_t, dict_t and inode_t that it finds
-        in  stub->args.<operation>.<fd_t-or-inode_t-or-dict_t>. so, if any fd_t, dict_t or
-	inode_t pointers are assigned at stub->args.<operation>.<fd_t-or-inode_t-or-dict_t> after
-	fop_<operation>_stub() call, they must be <fd_t-or-inode_t-or-dict_t>_ref()ed.
-	
-	call_resume does not STACK_DESTROY() for any fop.
-	
-  if stub->fn is NULL, call_resume does STACK_WIND() or STACK_UNWIND() using the stub->frame.
-
-  return - call resume fails only if stub is NULL. call resume fails with errno set to EINVAL.

-GlusterFS uses Git for version control. To get the latest source do:
-\begin{verbatim}
-  $ git clone git://git.gluster.com/glusterfs.git glusterfs
-\end{verbatim}
-\noindent
-GlusterFS follows the GNU coding
-standards\footnote{http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards\_toc.html} for the

-
-\chapter{Major components}
-\section{libglusterfs}
-\texttt{libglusterfs} contains supporting code used by all the other components. 
-The important files here are:
-
-\texttt{dict.c}: This is an implementation of a serializable dictionary type. It is
-used by the protocol code to send requests and replies. It is also used to pass options
-to translators.
-
-\texttt{logging.c}: This is a thread-safe logging library. The log messages go to a
-file (default \texttt{/usr/local/var/log/glusterfs/*}).
-
-\texttt{protocol.c}: This file implements the GlusterFS on-the-wire
-protocol. The protocol itself is a simple ASCII protocol, designed to
-be easy to parse and be human readable.
-
-A sample GlusterFS protocol block looks like this:
-\begin{verbatim}
-  Block Start                            header
-  0000000000000023                       callid
-  00000001                               type
-  00000016                               op
-  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx       human-readable name
-  00000000000000000000000000000ac3       block size
-  <...>                                  block
-  Block End
-\end{verbatim}
-
-\texttt{stack.h}: This file defines the \texttt{STACK\_WIND} and
-\texttt{STACK\_UNWIND} macros which are used to implement the parallel
-stack that is maintained for inter-xlator calls. See the \textsl{Taking control
-of the stack} section below for more details.
-
-\texttt{spec.y}: This contains the Yacc grammar for the GlusterFS
-specification file, and the parsing code.
-
-
-Draw diagrams of trees
-Two rules:
-(1) directory structure is same
-(2) file can exist only on one node

-\chapter{Writing a simple xlator}
-\noindent
-In this section we're going to write a rot13 xlator. ``Rot13'' is a
-simple substitution cipher which obscures a text by replacing each
-letter with the letter thirteen places down the alphabet. So `a' (0)
-would become `n' (12), `b' would be 'm', and so on.  Rot13 applied to
-a piece of ciphertext yields the plaintext again, because rot13 is its
-own inverse, since:
-
-\[
-x_c = x + 13\; (mod\; 26)
-\]
-\[
-x_c + 13\; (mod\; 26) = x + 13 + 13\; (mod\; 26) = x
-\]
-
-First we include the requisite headers.
-
-\begin{verbatim}
-#include <ctype.h>
-#include <sys/uio.h>
-
-#include "glusterfs.h"
-#include "xlator.h"
-#include "logging.h"
-
-/*
- * This is a rot13 ``encryption'' xlator. It rot13's data when 
- * writing to disk and rot13's it back when reading it. 
- * This xlator is meant as an example, not for production
- *  use ;) (hence no error-checking)
- */
-
-\end{verbatim}
-
-Then we write the rot13 function itself. For simplicity, we only transform lower case
-letters. Any other byte is passed through as it is.
-
-\begin{verbatim}
-/* We only handle lower case letters for simplicity */
-static void 
-rot13 (char *buf, int len)
-{
-  int i;
-  for (i = 0; i < len; i++) {
-    if (isalpha (buf[i]))
-      buf[i] = (buf[i] - 'a' + 13) % 26;
-    else if (buf[i] <= 26)
-      buf[i] = (buf[i] + 13) % 26 + 'a';
-  }
-}
-\end{verbatim}

-Next comes a utility function whose purpose will be clear after looking at the code
-below.

-			Lock-ahead translator
-                        ---------------------
-
-The objective of the lock-ahead translator is to speculatively
-hold locks (inodelk and entrylk) on the universal set (0 - infinity
-in case of inodelk and all basenames in case of entrylk) even
-when a lock is requested only on a subset, in anticipation that
-further locks will be requested within the same universal set.
-
-So, for example, when cluster/replicate locks a region before
-writing to it, lock-ahead would instead lock the entire file.
-On further writes, lock-ahead can immediately return success for 
-the lock requests, since the entire file has been previously locked.
-
-To avoid starvation of other clients/mountpoints, we employ a
-notify mechanism, described below.
-
-typedef struct {
-        struct list_head subset_locks;
-} la_universal_lock_t;
-
-Universal lock structure is stored in the inode context.
-
-typedef struct {
-	enum {LOCK_AHEAD_ENTRYLK, LOCK_AHEAD_FENTRYLK,
-              LOCK_AHEAD_INODELK, LOCK_AHEAD_FINODELK};
-
-        union {
-	      fd_t *fd;
-              loc_t loc;
-	};
-
-	off_t l_start;
-        off_t l_len;
-
-	const char *basename;
-
-	struct list_head universal_lock;
-} la_subset_lock_t;
-
-
-fops implemented:
-
-* inodelk/finodelk/entrylk/fentrylk:
-
-lock:
-  if universal lock held:
-    add subset to it (save loc_t or fd) and return success
-  else:
-    send lock-notify fop
-    hold universal lock and return
-      (set inode context, add subset to it, save loc_t or fd)
-    
-    if this fails:
-      forward the lock request
-
-unlock:
-  if subset exists in universal lock:
-    delete subset lock from list
-  else:
-    forward it
-
-* release:
-    hold subset locks (each subset lock using the saved loc_t or fd)
-    and release universal lock
-
-* lock-notify (on unwind) (new fop)
-    hold subset locks and release universal lock
-
-
-lock-notify in locks translator:
-
-if a subset lock in entrylk/inodelk cannot be satisfied
-because of a universal lock held by someone else:
-    unwind the lock-notify fop

- 
-  This macro concatenates the base directory of the posix volume

-- need_xattr in lookup
-
-  If this flag is passed, lookup returns a xattr dictionary that contains

-
-  This is a hack to increase small file performance. If an application

-  Macro to align an address to a page boundary (4K).

-- priv->export_statfs
-
-  In some cases, two exported volumes may reside on the same

-
-  In such cases, user can disable exporting statvfs info

-  This fop is used by replicate to set version numbers on files.

-- getxattr/setxattr hack to read/write files
-
-  A key, GLUSTERFS_FILE_CONTENT_STRING, is handled in a special way by
-  getxattr/setxattr. A getxattr with the key will return the entire
-  content of the file as the value. A setxattr with the key will write

-  GF_DIR_LK ({loc_t for "/mnt/glusterfs"}, "foo")
-
-  If one wishes to lock *all* the names under a particular directory,
-  supply the basename argument as NULL.
-
-  The locks can either be read locks or write locks; consult the 
-  function prototype for more details.
-
-Both these operations are implemented by the features/locks (earlier
-known as posix-locks) translator.
-
---------------
-* Basic design
---------------
-
-All FOPs can be classified into four major groups:
-
- - inode-read
-   Operations that read an inode's data (file contents) or metadata (perms, etc.).
-
-   access, getxattr, fstat, readlink, readv, stat.
-
- - inode-write
-   Operations that modify an inode's data or metadata.
-
-   chmod, chown, truncate, writev, utimens.
-
- - dir-read
-   Operations that read a directory's contents or metadata.
-
-   readdir, getdents, checksum.
-
- - dir-write
-   Operations that modify a directory's contents or metadata.
-
-   create, link, mkdir, mknod, rename, rmdir, symlink, unlink.
-
-   Some of these make a subgroup in that they modify *two* different entries:
-        link, rename, symlink.
-
- - Others
-   Other operations.
-
-   flush, lookup, open, opendir, statfs.
-
-------------
-* Algorithms
-------------
-
-Each of the four major groups has its own algorithm:
-
- ----------------------
- - inode-read, dir-read
- ----------------------
-
- = Send a request to the first child that is up:
-   - if it fails:
-       try the next available child
-   - if we have exhausted all children:
-       return failure
-
- -------------
- - inode-write
- -------------
-
- All operations are done in parallel unless specified otherwise.
-
- (1) Send a GF_FILE_LK request on all children for a write lock on 
-     the appropriate region
-            (for metadata operations: entire file (0, 0)
-             for writev: (offset, offset+size of buffer))
-
-     - If a lock request fails on a child:
-         unlock all children
-         try to acquire a blocking lock (F_SETLKW) on each child, serially.
-	 
-	 If this fails (due to ENOTCONN or EINVAL):
-           Consider this child as dead for rest of transaction.
-
- (2) Mark all children as "pending" on all (alive) children 
-     (see below for meaning of "pending").
-
-     - If it fails on any child:
-         mark it as dead (in transaction local state).
-
- (3) Perform operation on all (alive) children.
-
-     - If it fails on any child:
-         mark it as dead (in transaction local state).
-
- (4) Unmark all successful children as not "pending" on all nodes.
-
- (5) Unlock region on all (alive) children.
-     
- -----------
- - dir-write
- -----------
-
- The algorithm for dir-write is same as above except instead of holding
- GF_FILE_LK locks we hold a GF_DIR_LK lock on the name being operated upon.
- In case of link-type calls, we hold locks on both the operand names.
-
------------
-* "pending"
------------
-
- The "pending" number is like a journal entry. A pending entry is an
- array of 32-bit integers stored in network byte-order as the extended
- attribute of an inode (which can be a directory as well).
- 
- There are three keys corresponding to three types of pending operations:
-
- - AFR_METADATA_PENDING
-     There are some metadata operations pending on this inode (perms, ctime/mtime, 
-     xattr, etc.).
-
- - AFR_DATA_PENDING
-     There is some data pending on this inode (writev).
-
- - AFR_ENTRY_PENDING
-     There are some directory operations pending on this directory
-     (create, unlink, etc.).
-    
------------
-* Self heal
------------
-
- - On lookup, gather extended attribute data:
-   - If entry is a regular file:
-     - If an entry is present on one child and not on others:
-       - create entry on others.
-     - If entries exist but have different metadata (perms, etc.):
-       - consider the entry with the highest AFR_METADATA_PENDING number as
-         definitive and replicate its attributes on children.
-
-   - If entry is a directory:
-     - Consider the entry with the higest AFR_ENTRY_PENDING number as
-       definitive and replicate its contents on all children.
-
-   - If any two entries have non-matching types (i.e., one is file and
-     other is directory):
-     - Announce to the user via log that a split-brain situation has been
-       detected, and do nothing.
- 
- - On open, gather extended attribute data:
-   - Consider the file with the highest AFR_DATA_PENDING number as
-     the definitive one and replicate its contents on all other
-     children.
-
- During all self heal operations, appropriate locks must be held on all
- regions/entries being affected.
-
----------------
-* Inode scaling
----------------
-
-Inode scaling is necessary because if a situation arises where:
-  - An inode number is returned for a directory (by lookup) which was
-    previously the inode number of a file (as per FUSE's table), then
-    FUSE gets horribly confused (consult a FUSE expert for more details).
-
-To avoid such a situation, we distribute the 64-bit inode space equally
-among all children of replicate.
-
-To illustrate:
-
-If c1, c2, c3 are children of replicate, they each get 1/3 of the available
-inode space:
-
-Child:        c1   c2   c3   c1   c2   c3   c1   c2   c3   c1   c2 ...
-Inode number: 1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9    10   11 ...
-
-Thus, if lookup on c1 returns an inode number "2", it is scaled to "4"
-(which is the second inode number in c1's space).
-
-This way we ensure that there is never a collision of inode numbers from
-two different children.
-
-This reduction of inode space doesn't really reduce the usability of 
-replicate since even if we assume replicate has 1024 children (which would be a
-highly unusual scenario), each child still has a 54-bit inode space.
-
-2^54 ~ 1.8 * 10^16
-
-which is much larger than any real world requirement.

-basic working
---------------
-
-  write behind is basically a translator to lie to the application that the write-requests are finished, even before it is actually finished.
-
-  on a regular translator tree without write-behind, control flow is like this:
-  
-  1. application makes a write() system call.
-  2. VFS ==> FUSE ==> /dev/fuse.
-  3. fuse-bridge initiates a glusterfs writev() call.
-  4. writev() is STACK_WIND()ed upto client-protocol or storage translator.
-  5. client-protocol, on receiving reply from server, starts STACK_UNWIND() towards the fuse-bridge.
-
-  on a translator tree with write-behind, control flow is like this:
-  
-  1. application makes a write() system call.
-  2. VFS ==> FUSE ==> /dev/fuse.
-  3. fuse-bridge initiates a glusterfs writev() call.
-  4. writev() is STACK_WIND()ed upto write-behind translator.
-  5. write-behind adds the write buffer to its internal queue and does a STACK_UNWIND() towards the fuse-bridge.
-  
-  write call is completed in application's percepective. after STACK_UNWIND()ing towards the fuse-bridge, write-behind initiates a fresh writev() call to its child translator, whose replies will be consumed by write-behind itself. write-behind _doesn't_ cache the write buffer, unless 'option flush-behind on' is specified in volume specification file.
-
-windowing
----------
-
-  write respect to write-behind, each write-buffer has three flags: 'stack_wound', 'write_behind' and 'got_reply'.
-
-  stack_wound: if set, indicates that write-behind has initiated STACK_WIND() towards child translator. 
-
-  write_behind: if set, indicates that write-behind has done STACK_UNWIND() towards fuse-bridge.
-
-  got_reply: if set, indicates that write-behind has received reply from child translator for a writev() STACK_WIND(). a request will be destroyed by write-behind only if this flag is set.
-
-  currently pending write requests = aggregate size of requests with write_behind = 1 and got_reply = 0.
-  
-  window size limits the aggregate size of currently pending write requests. once the pending requests' size has reached the window size, write-behind blocks  writev() calls from fuse-bridge. 
-  blocking is only from application's perspective. write-behind does STACK_WIND() to child translator straight-away, but hold behind the STACK_UNWIND() towards fuse-bridge. STACK_UNWIND() is done only once write-behind gets enough replies to accomodate for currently blocked request.
-  
-flush behind
-------------
-
-  if 'option flush-behind on' is specified in volume specification file, then write-behind sends aggregate write requests to child translator, instead of regular per request STACK_WIND()s.
