This patch implements a thread pool that is wait-free for adding jobs to
the queue and uses a very small locked region to get jobs. This makes it
possible to decrease contention drastically. It's based on wfcqueue
structure provided by urcu library.
It automatically enables more threads when load demands it, and stops
them when not needed. There's a maximum number of threads that can be
used. This value can be configured.
Depending on the workload, the maximum number of threads plays an
important role. So it needs to be configured for optimal performance.
Currently the thread pool doesn't self adjust the maximum for the
workload, so this configuration needs to be changed manually.
For this reason, the global thread pool has been made optional, so that
volumes can still use the thread pool provided by io-threads.
To enable it for bricks, the following option needs to be set:
config.global-threading = on
This option has no effect if bricks are already running. A restart is
required to activate it. It's recommended to also enable the following
option when running bricks with the global thread pool:
performance.iot-pass-through = on
To enable it for a FUSE mount point, the option '--global-threading'
must be added to the mount command. To change it, an umount and remount
is needed. It's recommended to disable the following option when using
global threading on a mount point:
performance.client-io-threads = off
To enable it for services managed by glusterd, glusterd needs to be
started with option '--global-threading'. In this case all daemons, like
self-heal, will be using the global thread pool.
Currently it can only be enabled for bricks, FUSE mounts and glusterd
services.
The maximum number of threads for clients and bricks can be configured
using the following options:
config.client-threads
config.brick-threads
These options can be applied online and its effect is immediate most of
the times. If one of them is set to 0, the maximum number of threads
will be calcutated as #cores * 2.
Some distributions use a very old userspace-rcu library (version 0.7)
for this reason, some header files from version 0.10 have been copied
into contrib/userspace-rcu and are used if the detected version is 0.7
or older.
An additional change has been made to io-threads to prevent that threads
are started when iot-pass-through is set.

Auto invalidation is necessary when same (meta)data is shared/access
across multiple mounts. However, if (meta)data is not shared, all
relevant I/O goes through the cache of single mount and hence is
coherent with (meta)data on bricks always. So, fuse-auto-invalidation
can be disabled for this case which gives a huge performance boost for
workloads that write data and then immediately read the data they just
wrote.
From glusterfs --help,
<snip>
--auto-invalidation[=BOOL] controls whether fuse-kernel can
auto-invalidate attribute, dentry and page-cache.
Disable this only if same files/directories are
not accessed across two different mounts
concurrently [default: "on"]
</snip>
Details on how disabling auto-invalidation helped to reduce pgbench
init times can be found at [1]. Time taken for pgbench init of scale
8000 was 8340s. That will be an improvement of 86% (59280s vs 8340s)
with auto-invalidations turned off along with other
optimizations. Just disabling auto-invalidation contributed 56%
improvement by reducing the total time taken by 33260s.

This patch adds the lock preempt support.
Note: The current model stores lock enforcement information as separate
xattr on disk. There is another effort going in parallel to store this
in stat(x) of the file. This patch is self sufficient to add fencing
support. Based on the availability of the stat(x) support either I will
rebase this patch or we can modify the necessary bits post merging this
patch.

With brick mux, the number of threads increases as the number of
bricks increases. As an initiative to reduce the number of
threads in brick mux scenario, replacing janitor thread to use
synctask infra.
Now close() and closedir() handle by separate janitor
thread which is linked with glusterfs_ctx.
Updates #475

Currently mem-pool implementation provides api to get from the
mem pool based on the struct type. This is to retain api
compatibility with the old implementation of mem pool. Internally
in the mem pool structure there is a mapping from struct to size
based pools.
In this patch, we are adding new APIs to fetch memory from mem pool,
given a size.

The inode LRU mechanism is moot in fuse xlator (ie. there is no
limit for the LRU list), as fuse inodes are referenced from
kernel context, and thus they can only be dropped on request of
the kernel. This might results in a high number of passive
inodes which are useless for the glusterfs client, causing a
significant memory overhead.
This change tries to remedy this by extending the LRU semantics
and allowing to set a finite limit on the fuse inode LRU.
A brief history of problem:
When gluster's inode table was designed, fuse didn't have any
'invalidate' method, which means, userspace application could
never ask kernel to send a 'forget()' fop, instead had to wait
for kernel to send it based on kernel's parameters. Inode table
remembers the number of times kernel has cached the inode based
on the 'nlookup' parameter. And 'nlookup' field is not used by
no other entry points (like server-protocol, gfapi etc).
Hence the inode_table of fuse module always has to have lru-limit
as '0', which means no limit. GlusterFS always had to keep all
inodes in memory as kernel would have had a reference to it.
Again, the reason for this is, kernel's glusterfs inode reference
was pointer of 'inode_t' structure in glusterfs. As it is a
pointer, we could never free it (to prevent segfault, or memory
corruption).
Solution:
In the inode table, handle the prune case of inodes with 'nlookup'
differently, and call a 'invalidator' method, which in this case is
fuse_invalidate(), and it sends the request to kernel for getting
the forget request.
When the kernel sends the forget, it means, it has dropped all
the reference to the inode, and it will send the forget with the
'nlookup' parameter too. We just need to make sure to reduce the
'nlookup' value we have when we get forget. That automatically
cause the relevant prune to happen.

libglusterfs devel package headers are referenced in code using
include semantics for a program, this while it works can be better
especially when dealing with out of tree xlator builds or in
general out of tree devel package usage.
Towards this, the following changes are done,
- moved all devel headers under a glusterfs directory
- Included these headers using system header notation <> in all
code outside of libglusterfs
- Included these headers using own program notation "" within
libglusterfs
This change although big, is just moving around the headers and
making it correct when including these headers from other sources.
This helps us correctly include libglusterfs includes without
namespace conflicts.
