* features/bitrot: reimplement scrubbing frequencyVenky Shankar2015-05-281-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch reimplments existing scrub-frequency mechanism used to schedule scrubber runs. Existing mechanism uses periodic sleeps (waking up periodically on minimum granularity) and performing a number of tracking checks based on counters and sleep times. This patch does away with all the nifty counters and uses timer-wheel to schedule scrub runs. Scheduling changes are peformed by merely calculating the new expiry time and calling mod_timer() [mod_timer_pending() in some cases] making the code more debuggable and easier to follow. This also introduces "hourly" scrubbing tunable as an aid for testing scrubbing during development/testing cycle. One could also implement on-demand scrubbing with ease: by invoking mod_timer() with an expiry of one (1) second, thereby scheduling a scrub run the very next second.

* features/bitrot: Throttle filesystem scrubberVenky Shankar2015-05-071-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces multithreaded filesystem scrubber based on throttling option configured for a particular volume. The implementation "logically" breaks scanning and scrubbing with the number of scrubber threads auto-configured depending upon the throttle configuration. Scanning (crawling) is left single threaded (per brick) with entries scrubbed in bulk. On reaching this "bulk" watermark, scanner waits until entries are scrubbed. Bricks for a particular volume have a set of thread(s) assigned for scrubbing, with entries for each brick scrubbed in a round robin fashion to avoid scrub "stalls" when a brick (out of N bricks) is under active scrubbing. This mechanism helps us implement "pause/resume" with ease: all one need to do is to cleanup scrubber threads and let the main scanner thread "wait" untill scrubbing is resumed (where the scrubber thread(s) are spawned again), therefore continuing where we left off (unless we restart the deamons, where crawl initiates from root directory again, but I guess that's OK). [ NOTE: Throttling is optional for the signer daemon, without which it runs full throttle. However, passing "-DBR_RATE_LIMIT_SIGNER" predefined in CFLAGS enables CPU throttling (during checksum calculation) thereby avoiding high CPU usage. ] Subsequent patches would introduce CPU throttling during hash calculation for scrubber.

* features/bit-rot: filesystem scrubberVenky Shankar2015-03-241-0/+16
Scrubber performs signature verification for objects that were signed by signer. This is done by recalculating the signature (using the hash algorithm the object was signed with) and verifying it aginst the objects persisted signature. Since the object could be undergoing IO opretaion at the time of hash calculation, the signature may not match objects persisted signature. Bitrot stub provides additional information about the stalesness of an objects signature (determinted by it's versioning mechanism). This additional bit of information is used by scrubber to determine the staleness of the signature, and in such cases the object is skipped verification (although signature staleness is performed twice: once before initiation of hash calculation and another after it (an object could be modified after staleness checks). The implmentation is a part of the bitrot xlator (signer) which acts as a signer or scrubber based on a translator option. As of now the scrub process is ever running (but has some form of weak throttling mechanism during filesystem scan). Going forward, there needs to be some form of scrub scheduling and IO throttling (during hash calculation) tunables (via CLI).
