* build: drop incorrect usage of 'inline'Niels de Vos2015-07-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Newer versions of gcc complain loudly about the incorrect usage of 'inline'. These changes have been part of commit a3cb38e3 in other branches. There is no need to backport everything from that commit, but silencing the warnings would be good.

* bd: Add support to create clone, snapshot and merge of LV images.M. Mohan Kumar2013-11-131-0/+202
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Special xattr names "clone" & "snapshot" can be used to create full and linked clone of the LV images. GFID of destination posix file (to be mapped) is passed as a value to the xattr. Destination posix file must exist before running this operation. These operations form a basis for offloading storage related operations from QEMU to GlusterFS. Syntax for full clone: xattr name: "clone" value: "gfid-of-dest-file" Syntax for linked clone: xattr name: "snapshot" value: "gfid-of-dest-file" Syntax for merging: xattr name: "merge" value: "path-to-snapshot-file" Example: setfattr -n clone -v <gfid-of-dest-file> /media/source setfattr -n snapshot -v <gfid-of-dest-file> /media/source setfattr -n merge -v "/media/sn" /media/sn Change-Id: Id9f984a709d4c2e52a64ae75bb12a8ecb01f8776 BUG: 1028672 Signed-off-by: M.

* bd: posix/multi-brick support to BD xlatorM. Mohan Kumar2013-11-131-0/+562
Current BD xlator (block backend) has a few limitations such as * Creation of directories not supported * Supports only single brick * Does not use extended attributes (and client gfid) like posix xlator * Creation of special files (symbolic links, device nodes etc) not supported Basic limitation of not allowing directory creation is blocking oVirt/VDSM to consume BD xlator as part of Gluster domain since VDSM creates multi-level directories when GlusterFS is used as storage backend for storing VM images. To overcome these limitations a new BD xlator with following improvements is suggested. * New hybrid BD xlator that handles both regular files and block device files * The volume will have both POSIX and BD bricks. Regular files are created on POSIX bricks, block devices are created on the BD brick (VG) * BD xlator leverages exiting POSIX xlator for most POSIX calls and hence sits above the POSIX xlator * Block device file is differentiated from regular file by an extended attribute * The xattr 'user.glusterfs.bd' (BD_XATTR) plays a role in mapping a posix file to Logical Volume (LV). * When a client sends a request to set BD_XATTR on a posix file, a new LV is created and mapped to posix file. So every block device will have a representative file in POSIX brick with 'user.glusterfs.bd' (BD_XATTR) set. * Here after all operations on this file results in LV related operations. For example opening a file that has BD_XATTR set results in opening the LV block device, reading results in reading the corresponding LV block device. When BD xlator gets request to set BD_XATTR via setxattr call, it creates a LV and information about this LV is placed in the xattr of the posix file. xattr "user.glusterfs.bd" used to identify that posix file is mapped to BD. Usage: Server side: [root@host1 ~]# gluster volume create bdvol host1:/storage/vg1_info?vg1 host2:/storage/vg2_info?vg2 It creates a distributed gluster volume 'bdvol' with Volume Group vg1 using posix brick /storage/vg1_info in host1 and Volume Group vg2 using /storage/vg2_info in host2. [root@host1 ~]# gluster volume start bdvol Client side: [root@node ~]# mount -t glusterfs host1:/bdvol /media [root@node ~]# touch /media/posix It creates regular posix file 'posix' in either host1:/vg1 or host2:/vg2 brick [root@node ~]# mkdir /media/image [root@node ~]# touch /media/image/lv1 It also creates regular posix file 'lv1' in either host1:/vg1 or host2:/vg2 brick [root@node ~]# setfattr -n "user.glusterfs.bd" -v "lv" /media/image/lv1 [root@node ~]# Above setxattr results in creating a new LV in corresponding brick's VG and it sets 'user.glusterfs.bd' with value 'lv:<default-extent-size' [root@node ~]# truncate -s5G /media/image/lv1 It results in resizig LV 'lv1'to 5G New BD xlator code is placed in xlators/storage/bd directory. Also add volume-uuid to the VG so that same VG can't be used for other bricks/volumes. After deleting a gluster volume, one has to manually remove the associated tag using vgchange <vg-name> --deltag <trusted.glusterfs.volume-id:<volume-id>> Changes from previous version V5: * Removed support for delayed deleting of LVs Changes from previous version V4: * Consolidated the patches * Removed usage of BD_XATTR_SIZE and consolidated it in BD_XATTR. Changes from previous version V3: * Added support in FUSE to support full/linked clone * Added support to merge snapshots and provide information about origin * bd_map xlator removed * iatt structure used in inode_ctx. iatt is cached and updated during fsync/flush * aio support * Type and capabilities of volume are exported through getxattr Changes from version 2: * Used inode_context for caching BD size and to check if loc/fd is BD or not. * Added GlusterFS server offloaded copy and snapshot through setfattr FOP. As part of this libgfapi is modified. * BD xlator supports stripe * During unlinking if a LV file is already opened, its added to delete list and bd_del_thread tries to delete from this list when a last reference to that file is closed. Changes from previous version: * gfid is used as name of LV * ? is used to specify VG name for creating BD volume in volume create, add-brick. gluster volume create volname host:/path?vg * open-behind issue is fixed * A replicate brick can be added dynamically and LVs from source brick are replicated to destination brick * A distribute brick can be added dynamically and rebalance operation distributes existing LVs/files to the new brick * Thin provisioning support added. * bd_map xlator support retained * setfattr -n user.glusterfs.bd -v "lv" creates a regular LV and setfattr -n user.glusterfs.bd -v "thin" creates thin LV * Capability and backend information added to gluster volume info (and --xml) so that management tools can exploit BD xlator. * tracing support for bd xlator added TODO: * Add support to display snapshots for a given LV * Display posix filename for list-origin instead of gfid Change-Id: I00d32dfbab3b7c806e0841515c86c3aa519332f2 BUG: 1028672 Signed-off-by: M.
