Problem:
Changelog creates threads even if the changelog is not enabled
Background:
Changelog xlator broadly does two things
1. Journalling - Cosumers are geo-rep and glusterfind
2. Event Notification for registered events like (open, release etc) -
Consumers are bitrot, geo-rep
The existing option "changelog.changelog" controls journalling and
there is no option to control event notification and is enabled by
default. So when bitrot/geo-rep is not enabled on the volume, threads
and resources(rpc and rbuf) related to event notifications consumes
resources and cpu cycle which is unnecessary.
Solution:
The solution is to have two different options as below.
1. changelog-notification : Event notifications
2. changelog : Journalling
This patch introduces the option "changelog-notification" which is
not exposed to user. When either bitrot or changelog (journalling)
is enabled, it internally enbales 'changelog-notification'. But
once the 'changelog-notification' is enabled, it will not be disabled
for the life time of the brick process even after bitrot and changelog
is disabled. As of now, rpc resource cleanup has lot of races and is
difficult to cleanup cleanly. If allowed, it leads to memory leaks
and crashes on enable/disable of bitrot or changelog (journal) in a
loop. Hence to be safer, the event notification is not disabled within
lifetime of process once enabled.
