* rpc: add owner xlator argument to rpc_clnt_newKrishnan Parthasarathi2015-08-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The @owner argument tells RPC layer the xlator that owns the connection and to which xlator THIS needs be set during network notifications like CONNECT and DISCONNECT. Code paths that originate from the head of a (volume) graph and use STACK_WIND ensure that the RPC local endpoint has the right xlator saved in the frame of the call (callback pair). This guarantees that the callback is executed in the right xlator context. The client handshake process which includes fetching of brick ports from glusterd, setting lk-version on the brick for the session, don't have the correct xlator set in their frames. The problem lies with RPC notifications. It doesn't have the provision to set THIS with the xlator that is registered with the corresponding RPC programs. e.g, RPC_CLNT_CONNECT event received by protocol/client doesn't have THIS set to its xlator. This implies, call(-callbacks) originating from this thread don't have the right xlator set too. The fix would be to save the xlator registered with the RPC connection during rpc_clnt_new. e.g, protocol/client's xlator would be saved with the RPC connection that it 'owns'. RPC notifications such as CONNECT, DISCONNECT, etc inherit THIS from the RPC connection's xlator.

* rpc: Maintain separate xlator pointer in 'rpcsvc_state'Kotresh HR2015-05-051-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The structure 'rpcsvc_state', which maintains rpc server state had no separate pointer to track the translator. It was using the mydata pointer itself. So callers were forced to send xlator pointer as mydata which is opaque (void pointer) by function prototype. 'rpcsvc_register_init' is setting svc->mydata with xlator pointer. 'rpcsvc_register_notify' is overwriting svc->mydata with mydata pointer. And rpc interprets svc->mydata as xlator pointer internally. If someone passes non xlator structure pointer to rpcsvc_register_notify as libgfchangelog currently does, it might corrupt mydata. So interpreting opaque mydata as xlator pointer is incorrect as it is caller's choice to send mydata as any type of data to 'rpcsvc_register_notify'. Maintaining two different pointers in 'rpcsvc_state' for xlator and mydata solves the issue.

* features/changelog: RPC'fy {libgf}changelogVenky Shankar2015-03-181-0/+334
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.
