* features/bit-rot: check for both inmemory and ondisk stalenessRaghavendra Bhat2015-06-151-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Let bit-rot stub check both on disk ongoing version, signed version xattrs and the in memory flags in the inode and then decide whether the inode is stale or not. This information is used by one shot crawler in BitD to decide whether to trigger the sign for the object or skip it. NOTE: The above check should be done only for BitD. For scrubber its still the old way of comparing on disk ongoing version with signed version. * BitD's one shot crawler should not sign zero byte objects if they do not contain signature. (Means the object was just created and nothing was written to it).

* features/bitrot: refactor brick connection logicRaghavendra Bhat2015-05-282-63/+68
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Brick connection was bloated (and not implemented efficiently) with calls which were not required to be called under lock. This resulted in starvation of lock by critical code paths. This eventally did not scale when the number of bricks per volume increases (add-brick and the likes). Also, this patch cleans up some of the weird reconnection logic that added more to the starvation of resources and cleans up uncontrolled growing of log files.

* features/bitrot: reimplement scrubbing frequencyVenky Shankar2015-05-284-180/+301
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: stub improvements and fixesVenky Shankar2015-05-282-106/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch refactors the signing trigger mechanism used by bitrot daemon as a "catch up" meachanism to sign files which _missed_ signing on the last run either due to bitrot being disabled and enabled again or if bitrot is enabled for a volume with existing data. Existing implementation relies on overloading writev() to trigger signing which just by the looks sounded dangerous and I hated it to the core. This change moves all that business to the setxattr interface thereby keeping the writev path strictly for client IO. Why not use IPC fop to trigger signing? There's a need to access the object's inode to perform various maintainance operations. inode is not _directly_ accessible in the IPC fop (although, it can be found via inode_grep() for the object's GFID - the inode just needs to be pinned in memory, which is the case if there's an active fd on the inode). This patch relies on good old technique of overloading fsetxattr() to do the job instead of using IPC fop. There are some pretty nice cleanups along the lines of memory deallocations, unncessary allocations and redundant ref()ing of structures (such as fd's) provided by this patch. All in all - much improved code navigation.

* features/bit-rot-stub: versioning of objects in write/truncate fop instead ↵Raghavendra Bhat2015-05-082-16/+128
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | of open * This patch brings in the changes where object versioning is done in write and truncate fops instead of tracking them in open and create fops. This model works for both regular and anonymous fds. It also removes the race associated with open calls, create and lookups. This patch follows the below method for object versioning and notifications: Before sending writev on the fd, increase the ongoing version first. This makes anonymous fd write similar to the regular fd write by having the ongoing version increased before doing the write. Do following steps to do versioning: 1) For anonymous fds set the fd context (so that release is invoked) and add the fd context to the list maintained in the inode context. For regular fds the above think would have been done in open itself. 2) Increase the on-disk ongoing version 3) Increase the in memory ongoing version and mark inode as non-dirty 3) Once versioning is successfully done send write operation. If versioning fails, then fail the write fop. 5) In writev_cbk mark inode as modified.

* features/bitrot: Scrubber pause/resumeVenky Shankar2015-05-083-9/+58
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With logical scan/scrub split, pausing filesystem scrubber is an override to the thread throttling mechanism, which effectively throttles "down" number of scrubber threads to zero. This causes scanner to wait until threads are spawned again (when resumed) thereby continuing where it left off (since the file tree walk stack is effectively preserved when the main scanner thread is waiting for scrubbers to consume scanned entries). The only catch is when scrubber daemon restarts: file tree walk stack is lost and scrubbing initiates from root. This is probably OK for now (can be changed later to persist parent directory information before entering pause state).

* features/bitrot: Throttle filesystem scrubberVenky Shankar2015-05-074-51/+709
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: Token Bucket based throttlingVenky Shankar2015-05-075-9/+429
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | BitRot daemons (signer & scrubber) are disk/cpu hoggers when left running full throttle. Checksum calculations (especially SHA family of hash routines) can be quite CPU intensive. Moreover periodic disk scans performed by scrubber followed by reading data blocks for hash calculation (which is also done by signer) generate lot of heavy IO request(s). This causes interference with actual client operations (be it a regular client or filesystems daemons such as self-heal, etc..) and results in degraded system performance. This patch introduces throttling based on Token Bucket Filtering[1]. It's a well known algorithm for checking (and ensuring) that data transmission conform to defined limits and generally used in packet switched networks. Linux control groups (Cgroups) uses a variant[2] of this algorithm to provide block device IO throttling (cgroup subsys "blkio": blk-iothrottle). So, why not just live with Cgroups? Cgroups is linux specific. We need to have a throttling mechanism for other supported UNIXes. Moreover, having our own implementation gives much more finer control in terms of tuning it for our needs (plus the simplicity of the alogorithm itself). Ideally, throttling should be a part of server stack (either as a separate translator or integrated with io-threads) since that's the point of entry for IO request(s) from *all* client(s). That way one could selectively throttle IO request(s) based on client PIDs (frame->root->pid), e.g., self-heal daemon, bitrot, etc.. (*actual* clients can run full throttle). This implementation avoids that deliberately (there needs to be a much more smarter queueing mechanism) and throttles CPU usage for hash calculations. This patch is just the infrastructure part with no interfaces exposed to set various throttling values. The tunable selected here (basically hardcoded) avoids 100% CPU usage during hash calculation (with some bursts cycles). We'd need much more intensive test(s) to assign values for various throttling options (lazy/normal/aggressive).

* bitrot/scrub: Scrubber fixesVenky Shankar2015-04-082-75/+185
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a handful of problem with scrubber which are detailed below. Scrubber used to skip objects for verification due to missing fd iterface to fetch versioning extended attributes. Similar to the inode interface, an fd based interface in POSIX is now introduced. Moreover, this patch also fixes potential false reporting by scrubber due to: An object gets dirtied and signed when scrubber is busy calculatingobject checksum. This is fixed by caching the signed version when an object is first inspected for stalenes, i.e., during pre-compute stage. This version is used to verify checksum in the post-compute stage when the signatures are compared for possible corruption. Side effect of _not_ sending signature length during signing resulted in "truncated" signature to be set for an object. Now, at the time of signing, the signature length is sent and is used in place of invoking strlen() to get signature length (which could have possible 00s). The signature length itself is not persisted in the signature xattr, but is calculated on-the-fly by substracting the xattr length by the "structure" header size. Some of the log entries are made more meaningful (as and aid for debugging).

* Avoid conflict between contrib/uuid and system uuidEmmanuel Dreyfus2015-04-041-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | glusterfs relies on Linux uuid implementation, which API is incompatible with most other systems's uuid. As a result, libglusterfs has to embed contrib/uuid, which is the Linux implementation, on non Linux systems. This implementation is incompatible with systtem's built in, but the symbols have the same names. Usually this is not a problem because when we link with -lglusterfs, libc's symbols are trumped. However there is a problem when a program not linked with -lglusterfs will dlopen() glusterfs component. In such a case, libc's uuid implementation is already loaded in the calling program, and it will be used instead of libglusterfs's implementation, causing crashes. A possible workaround is to use pre-load libglusterfs in the calling program (using LD_PRELOAD on NetBSD for instance), but such a mechanism is not portable, nor is it flexible. A much better approach is to rename libglusterfs's uuid_* functions to gf_uuid_* to avoid any possible conflict. This is what this change attempts.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

* features/bit-rot: Implementation of bit-rot xlatorVenky Shankar2015-03-243-0/+1497
This is the "Signer" -- responsible for signing files with their checksums upon last file descriptor close (last release()). The event notification facility provided by the changelog xlator is made use of. Moreover, checksums are as of now SHA256 hash of the object data and is the only available hash at this point of time. Therefore, there is no special "what hash to use" type check, although it's does not take much to add various hashing algorithms to sign objects with. Signatures are stored in extended attributes of the objects along with the the type of hashing used to calculate the signature. This makes thing future proof when other hash types are added. The signature infrastructure is provided by bitrot stub: a little piece of code that sits over the POSIX xlator providing interfaces to "get or set" objects signature and it's staleness. Since objects are signed upon receiving release() notification, pre-existing data which are "never" modified would never be signed. To counter this, an initial crawler thread is spawned The crawler scans the entire brick for objects that are unsigned or "missed" signing due to the server going offline (node reboots, crashes, etc..) and triggers an explicit sign. This would also sign objects when bit-rot is enabled for a volume and/or after upgrade.
