fuse/readdirp: Remove need_lookup from fuse_readdirp_cbk
background: Various xlators used to populate their ctx, on an explicit lookup. That means without a lookup, the translator will have either null or stale data to function. E.g. dht would depend on lookup to create linkto files on the correct node/hashed subvol, afr would rely on this lookup to heal pending data/metadata etc. So to complete above actions a lookup used to be issued on files, even their inode was populated on a readdirp_cbk. This was done by setting the need_lookup flag on all the files those were read on readdirp fop. We tried a small test on "ACL client". For listing 50k files on root itself, it took around 50seconds with readdirp enabled while the same operation took 5-6 seconds with readdirp disabled. Both the times md-cache was enabled. We observed that on the 1st test case (readdirp enabled), post readdirp a getxattr is done. The number of getxattr depends on the number of acl xattrs (I saw requests on these two: system.posix_acl_default, system.posix_acl_access). Since need_lookup flag is set, during fuse_resolve a nameless lookup is executed on the inode(getxattr being inode operation, hence the nameless lookup). Since md-cache does not serve nameless lookup, a network hop is needed for each file, costing the time. With readdirp disabled, the getxattrs are served from md-cache itself(note: we are discussing the 2nd attempt of ls -l use case). _Current affairs around need of lookup for a file to populate it's ctx_: For the xlators on client stack we discussed quite extensively about the need for a lookup fop post readdirp in all three cluster translators - afr, EC and dht. EC and dht don't really need a nameless lookup post readdirp. For afr too, the need for lookup was negated with patch (http://review.gluster.org/6010 - AFRV2), where afr added a function called afr_inode_refresh() which does a lookup and populates its inode context in case a FOP came to AFR without a lookup being issued prior to it. We ran a thread on gluster-devel asking for feedback on the need of explicit lookup post readdirp. For responses refer [1]. Refer [2] for discussions happened on gerrit. After gathering inputs from [1] and [2], it looks like there is no xlator in current state that requires an explicit lookup post readdirp to function properly. * A separate similar patch will be sent for gfapi/nfs/nfs-ganesha. Note: Only file's inode is built with readdirp.
