* core: fix memory pool management racesXavi Hernandez2020-02-281-13/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Objects allocated from a per-thread memory pool keep a reference to it to be able to return the object to the pool when not used anymore. The object holding this reference can have a long life cycle that could survive a glfs_fini() call. This means that it's unsafe to destroy memory pools from glfs_fini(). Another side effect of destroying memory pools from glfs_fini() is that the TLS variable that points to one of those pools cannot be reset for all alive threads. This means that any attempt to allocate memory from those threads will access already free'd memory, which is very dangerous. To fix these issues, mem_pools_fini() doesn't destroy pool lists anymore. They should be destroyed when the library is unloaded or the process is terminated, but this cannot be done right now because gluster doesn't stop other threads before calling exit(), which could cause some races. This patch is the backport of 2 master patches: > Change-Id: Ib189a5510ab6bdac78983c6c65a022e9634b0965 > Fixes: bz#1801684 > Signed-off-by: Xavi Hernandez <xhernandez@redhat.com> > > Change-Id: Id7cfb4407fcf208e28f03a7c3cdc3ef9c1f3bf9b > Fixes: bz#1801684 > Signed-off-by: Xavi Hernandez <xhernandez@redhat.com> Change-Id: Id7cfb4407fcf208e28f03a7c3cdc3ef9c1f3bf9b Fixes: bz#1805671 Signed-off-by: Xavi Hernandez <xhernandez@redhat.com>
* core: fix memory allocation issuesXavi Hernandez2019-07-031-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Two problems have been identified that caused that gluster's memory usage were twice higher than required. 1. An off by 1 error caused that all objects allocated from the memory pools were taken from a pool bigger than required. Since each pool corresponds to a size equal to a power of two, this was wasting half of the available memory. 2. The header information used for accounting on each memory object was not taken into consideration when searching for a suitable memory pool. It was added later when each individual block was allocated. This made this space "invisible" to memory accounting. Credits: Thanks to Nithya Balachandran for identifying this problem and testing this patch.

* core: avoid dynamic TLS allocation when possibleXavi Hernandez2019-07-031-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some interdependencies between logging and memory management functions make it impossible to use the logging framework before initializing memory subsystem because they both depend on Thread Local Storage allocated through pthread_key_create() during initialization. This causes a crash when we try to log something very early in the initialization phase. To prevent this, several dynamically allocated TLS structures have been replaced by static TLS reserved at compile time using '__thread' keyword. This also reduces the number of error sources, making initialization simpler.

* mem-pool: Add api to mem_get based on requested sizePoornima G2018-12-171-2/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Change-Id: Ib220ee45ebd134a7be8f6482db5a592dbb7b9211 Updates: #325 Signed-off-by: Poornima G <pgurusid@redhat.com>
* libglusterfs: Move devel headers under glusterfs directoryShyamsundarR2018-12-051-0/+304
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.
