* libgfchangelog: cleanups on disconnectionVenky Shankar2015-03-241-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [WIP patch as of now, just needs a little tweak] A pending TODO in the code caused regressions to fail as bitrot daemons are spawned during volume start (equivalent to enabling bitrot by default). The problematic part that casued such failures is during brick disconnections with unsafe handling of event data structured in the code. With this patch, data structures are properly cleaned up with care taken to cleanup all accessors first. This also fixes potential memory leaks which was bluntly ignored before.

* libgfchangelog: Fix faulty reference to xlator contextVenky Shankar2015-03-241-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: libgfchangelog initializes global xlator on library load (via constructor: _ctor) and mangles it's xlator context thereby messing with certain important members of the command structure. On receiving an RPC disconnection event, if the point-of-execution was in libgfchangelogs context, accessing ->cmd_args during RPC notify resulted in a segfault. Fix: Since the libarary needs to be able to work with processes that have a notion of an xlator (THIS in particular) and without it, care needs to be taken to allocate the global xlator when needed. Moreover, the actual fix is to use the correct xlator context in both cases. A new API is introduces when needs to be invoked by the conusmer (although this could have been done during register() call, keeping it a separate API makes thing flexible and easy). Test: The issue is observed when a brick process goes offline. This is triggered when test cases (.t's) are run in bulk, since each test essestially spawns bricks processes (on volume start) and terminates them (volume stop). Since bitrot daemon, as of now, spawns upon volume start, the issue is much observed when the volume is taken offline at the end of each test case. With this fix, running the basic and core test cases along with building the linux kernel has passed without daemon segfaults. Thanks to Johnny (rabhat@) for helping in debugging the issue (and with the fix :)).

* features/changelog: RPC'fy {libgf}changelogVenky Shankar2015-03-181-0/+84
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.
