* inode: make critical section smallerAmar Tumballi2019-02-131-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | do all the 'static' tasks outside of locked region. * hash_dentry() and hash_gfid() are now called outside locked region. * remove extra __dentry_hash exported in libglusterfs.sym * avoid checks in locked functions, if the check is done in calling function. * implement dentry_destroy(), which handles freeing of dentry separately, from that of dentry_unset (which takes care of separating dentry from inode, and table) Updates: bz#1670031 Change-Id: I584213e0748464bb427fbdef3c4ab6615d7d5eb0 Signed-off-by: Amar Tumballi <amarts@redhat.com>
* fuse: add --lru-limit optionAmar Tumballi2018-12-141-1/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: Move devel headers under glusterfs directoryShyamsundarR2018-12-051-0/+289
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.
