* md-cache: Do not invalidate cache post set/remove xattrPoornima G2018-07-111-0/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since setxattr and removexattr fops cbk do not carry poststat, the stat cache was being invalidated in setxatr/remoxattr cbk. Hence the further lookup wouldn't be served from cache. To prevent this invalidation, md-cache is modified to get the poststat in set/removexattr_cbk in dict. Co-authored with Xavi Hernandez.

* md-cache: Implement dynamic configuration of xattr list for cachingPoornima G2018-01-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the list of xattrs that md-cache can cache is hard coded in the md-cache.c file, this necessiates code change and rebuild everytime a new xattr needs to be added to md-cache xattr cache list. With this patch, the user will be able to configure a comma seperated list of xattrs to be cached by md-cache Updates #297 Change-Id: Ie35ed607d17182d53f6bb6e6c6563ac52bc3132e Signed-off-by: Poornima G <pgurusid@redhat.com>
* upcall: Allow md-cache to specify invalidations on xattr with wildcardPoornima G2018-01-191-0/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, md-cache sends a list of xattrs, it is inttrested in recieving invalidations for. But, it cannot specify any wildcard in the xattr names Eg: user.* - invalidate on updating any xattr with user. prefix. This patch, enable upcall to honor wildcard in the xattr key names Updates: #297 Change-Id: I98caf0ed72f11ef10770bf2067d4428880e0a03a Signed-off-by: Poornima G <pgurusid@redhat.com>
* md-cache: avoid checking the xattr value buffer with string functions.Günther Deschner2017-08-011-0/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | xattrs may very well contain binary, non-text data with leading 0 values. Using strcmp for checking empty values is not the appropriate thing to do: In the best case, it might treat a binary xattr value starting with 0 from being cached (and hence also from being reported back with xattr). In the worst case, we might read beyond the end of a data blob that does contain any zero byte. We fix this by checking the length of the data blob and checking the first byte against 0 if the length is one.

* md-cache, afr: Reduce the window of stale readPoornima G2016-10-201-0/+44
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: Consider a replica setup, where one mount writes data to a file and the other mount reads the file. In afr, read operations are not transaction based, a brick(read subvolume) is chosen as a part of lookup or other operations, read is always wound only to the read subvolume, even if there was write from a different client that failed on this brick. This stale read continues until there is a lookup or any write operation from the mount point. Currently, this is not a major issue, as a lookup is issued before every read and it will switch the read subvolume to a correct one. But with the plan of increasing md-cache timeout to 600s, the stale read problem will be more pronounced, i.e. stale read can continue for 600s(or more if cascaded with readdirp), as there will be no lookups. Solution: Afr doesn't have any built-in solution for stale read(without affecting the performance). The solution that came up, was to use upcall. When a file on any brick is marked bad for the first time, upcall sends a notification to all the clients that had recently accessed the file. The solution has 2 parts: - Identifying when a file is marked bad, on any of the bricks, for the first time - Client side actions on recieving the notifications Identifying when a file is marked bad on any of the bricks for the first time: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The idea is to track xattrop in upcall. xattrop currently comes with 2 afr xattrs - afr dirty bit and afr pending xattrs. Dirty xattr is set to 1 before every write, and is unset if write succeeds. In certain scenarios, dirty xattr can be 0 and still the file could be bad copy. Hence do not track dirty xattr. Pending xattr is set on the good copy, indicating the other bricks that have bad copy. It is still not as simple as, notifying when any of the pending xattrs change. It could lead to flood of notifcations, in case the other brick is completely down or consistantly failing. Hence it is important to notify only once, the first time a good copy is marked bad. Client side actions on recieving pending xattr change, notification: -------------------------------------------------------------------- md-cache will invalidate the cache of that file, so that further lookup is passed down to afr and hence update the read subvolume. Invalidating only in md-cache is not enough, consider the folling oder of opertaions: - pending xattr invalidation - invalidate md-cache - readdirp on the bad read subvolume - fill md-cache - lookup (served from md-cache) - read - wound to the old read subvol. Hence, along with invalidating md-cache, it is very important to reset the read subvolume for that file, in afr. Design Credit: Anuradha Talur, Ravishankar N 1. xattrop doesn't carry info saying post op/pre op. 2. Pre xattrop will have 0 value for all pending xattrs, the cbk of pre xattrop carries the on-disk xattr value. Non zero indicated healing is required. 3. Post xattrop will have non zero value for any of the pending xattrs, if the fop failed on any of the bricks.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, md-cache only processes IATT_UPDATE_FLAGS, UP_XATTR and UP_XATTR_RM. We also need to process UP_RENAME_FLAGS, UP_FORGET, UP_PARENT_DENTRY_FLAGS and UP_NLINK_FLAGS. Otherwise the files unlinked or renamed will not be reflected on other mounts.

* md-cache: Do not use features.cache-invalidation for both md-cache and upcallPoornima G2016-08-271-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the volume set option features.cache-invalidation enables upcall feature on server side and md-cache cache-invalidation on client side. There are multiple problems that can arise from this: 1. The scenario when user wants to, enable upcall for nfs-ganesha setup, but do not want to enable md-cache cache-invalidation, as the nfs-clients have already cached the metadata and upcall is used to to invalidate the nfs-client cache. In this case, users should have a way of disabling md-cache invalidation without disabling upcall. 2. Upcall requires a op-version of GD_OP_VERSION_3_7_0, where as md-cache invalidation requires an op version of GD_OP_VERSION_3_9_0. Consider a setup where the servers are in op-version GD_OP_VERSION_3_7_0, and th clients are in op-version GD_OP_VERSION_3_9_0. if there is one single volume set option, user can enable this feature in this setup. But it can lead to stale xattr cache as the xattr invalidation was introduced in upcall only in release 3.8. Hence, we should not be able to enable md-cache invalidation, if all the servers and clients are not on opversion >= GD_OP_VERSION_3_9_0. To solve the above mentioned issues, we have seperate volume options for enabling md-cache invalidation and upcall. But this can lead to issues when user enable md-cache invalidation and forgets to enable upcall. Probably in the next release, these can be enables by default.

* md-cache: Add cache invalidation support to invalidate the meta data cachePoornima G2016-07-201-7/+53
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: md-cache currently updates its stat in cbks of selected fops. The default cache time is 1 second, if this is increasd to reap the benefits of caching, we may end up with stale cache for long time, as there is no logic yet to notify md-cache of backend changes by another client. Solution: Use the existing upcall mechanism to invalidate the cache. For this feature to work, "features.cache-invalidation" volume option should be enabled. This patch as is doesn't improve any performance, the benifit of the patch is that it provides coherency for stat cache, hence the cache timeout can be quite longer which in turn can improve the performance.
