* build: out-of-tree builds generates files in the wrong directoryKaleb S KEITHLEY2016-09-181-0/+15

Rewrite the make rules to do what xdrgen does. Now we can get rid of xdrgen. Note 1. netbsd6's sed doesn't do -i. Why are we still running smoke tests on netbsd6 and not netbsd7? We barely support netbsd7 as it is. Note 2. Why is/was libgfxdr.so (.../rpc/xdr/src/...) linked with libglusterfs? A cut-and-paste mistake? It has no references to symbols in libglusterfs. Note3. "/#ifndef\|#define\|#endif/" (note the '\'s) is a _basic_ regex that matches the same lines as the _extended_ regex "/#(ifndef|define|endif)/". To match the extended regex sed needs to be run with -r on Linux; with -E on *BSD. However NetBSD's and FreeBSD's sed helpfully also provide -r for compatibility. Using a basic regex avoids having to use a kludge in order to run sed with the correct option on OS X. Note 4. Not copying the bit of xdrgen that inserts copyright/license boilerplate. AFAIK it's silly to pretend that machine generated files like these can be copyrighted or need license boilerplate. The XDR source files have their own copyright and license; and their copyrights are bound to be more up to date than old boilerplate inserted by a script. From what I've seen of other Open Source projects -- e.g. gcc and its C parser files generated by yacc and lex -- IIRC they don't bother to add copyright/license boilerplate to their generated files. It appears that it's a long-standing feature of make (SysV, BSD, gnu) for out-of-tree builds to helpfully pretend that the source files it can find in the VPATH "exist" as if they are in the $cwd. rpcgen doesn't work well in this situation and generates files with "bad" #include directives. E.g. if you `rpcgen ../../../../$srcdir/rpc/xdr/src/glusterfs3-xdr.x`, you get an #include directive in the generated .c file like this: ... #include "../../../../$srcdir/rpc/xdr/src/glusterfs3-xdr.h" ... which (obviously) results in compile errors on out-of-tree build because the (generated) header file doesn't exist at that location. Compared to `rpcgen ./glusterfs3-xdr.x` where you get: ... #include "glusterfs3-xdr.h" ... Which is what we need. We have to resort to some Stupid Make Tricks like the addition of various .PHONY targets to work around the VPATH "help". Warning: When doing an in-tree build, -I$(top_builddir)/rpc/xdr/... looks exactly like -I$(top_srcdir)/rpc/xdr/... Don't be fooled though. And don't delete the -I$(top_builddir)/rpc/xdr/... bits Change-Id: Iba6ab96b2d0a17c5a7e9f92233993b318858b62e BUG: 1330604 Signed-off-by: Kaleb S KEITHLEY <kkeithle@redhat.com> Reviewed-on: http://review.gluster.org/14085 Tested-by: Niels de Vos <ndevos@redhat.com> Smoke: Gluster Build System <jenkins@build.gluster.org> NetBSD-regression: NetBSD Build System <jenkins@build.gluster.org> CentOS-regression: Gluster Build System <jenkins@build.gluster.org> Reviewed-by: Niels de Vos <ndevos@redhat.com>
* features/changelog: RPC'fy {libgf}changelogVenky Shankar2015-03-181-0/+27
This patch introduces RPC based communication between the changelog translator and libgfchangelog. It replaces the old pathetic stream based interaction that existed earlier (due to time constraints :-/). Changelog, upon initialization starts a RPC server (rpcsvc) allowing clients to invoke a probe API as a bootup mechanism to request for event notifications. During probe, clients can choose an event filter specifying the type(s) of events they are interested in. As of now there is no way to change the event notification set once the probe RPC call is made, but that is easier to implement. The actual event notifications is done on a separate RPC session. The client (libgfchangelog) itself starts and RPC server which the changelog translator "connects back" during probe. Notifications are dispatched by a bunch of threads from the server (translator) and the client optionally orders them if ordered notifications are requried. FOPs fill in their respective event details in a buffer (rot-buffs to be particular) and a bunch of threads (consumers) swap the buffers out of roatation and dispatch them via RPC. To avoid writer starvation, then number of dispatcher threads is one less than the number of buffer list in rot-buffs.x libgfchangelog becomes purely callback based -- upon event notification from the server (and re-ordering them if required) invoke a callback routine specified by consumer(s). A major part of the patch is also aimed at providing backward compatibility for geo-replication, which was one of the main consumer of the stream based API. Also, this patch does not\ "turn on" event notifications for all fops, just a bunch which is currently in requirement. Another pain point is that the server does not filter events before dispatching it to the clients. That load is taken up by the client itself (although it's done at the library layer rather than making it hard on the callback implementor). This needs improvement and care needs to be taken to not load the server up with expensive filtering mechanisms.
