* glusterfs: zerofill supportM. Mohan Kumar2013-11-101-0/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for a new ZEROFILL fop. Zerofill writes zeroes to a file in the specified range. This fop will be useful when a whole file needs to be initialized with zero (could be useful for zero filled VM disk image provisioning or during scrubbing of VM disk images). Client/application can issue this FOP for zeroing out. Gluster server will zero out required range of bytes ie server offloaded zeroing. In the absence of this fop, client/application has to repetitively issue write (zero) fop to the server, which is very inefficient method because of the overheads involved in RPC calls and acknowledgements. WRITESAME is a SCSI T10 command that takes a block of data as input and writes the same data to other blocks and this write is handled completely within the storage and hence is known as offload . Linux ,now has support for SCSI WRITESAME command which is exposed to the user in the form of BLKZEROOUT ioctl. BD Xlator can exploit BLKZEROOUT ioctl to implement this fop. Thus zeroing out operations can be completely offloaded to the storage device , making it highly efficient. The fop takes two arguments offset and size. It zeroes out 'size' number of bytes in an opened file starting from 'offset' position. This patch adds zerofill support to the following areas: - libglusterfs - io-stats - performance/md-cache,open-behind - quota - cluster/afr,dht,stripe - rpc/xdr - protocol/client,server - io-threads - marker - storage/posix - libgfapi Client applications can exloit this fop by using glfs_zerofill introduced in libgfapi.FUSE support to this fop has not been added as there is no system call for this fop. Changes from previous version 3: * Removed redundant memory failure log messages Changes from previous version 2: * Rebased and fixed build error Changes from previous version 1: * Rebased for latest master TODO : * Add zerofill support to trace xlator * Expose zerofill capability as part of gluster volume info Here is a performance comparison of server offloaded zeofill vs zeroing out using repeated writes. [root@llmvm02 remote]# time ./offloaded aakash-test log 20 real 3m34.155s user 0m0.018s sys 0m0.040s [root@llmvm02 remote]# time ./manually aakash-test log 20 real 4m23.043s user 0m2.197s sys 0m14.457s [root@llmvm02 remote]# time ./offloaded aakash-test log 25; real 4m28.363s user 0m0.021s sys 0m0.025s [root@llmvm02 remote]# time ./manually aakash-test log 25 real 5m34.278s user 0m2.957s sys 0m18.808s The argument log is a file which we want to set for logging purpose and the third argument is size in GB . As we can see there is a performance improvement of around 20% with this fop.

* glusterfs: discard (hole punch) supportBrian Foster2013-06-131-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for the DISCARD file operation. Discard punches a hole in a file in the provided range. Block de-allocation is implemented via fallocate() (as requested via fuse and passed on to the brick fs) but a separate fop is created within gluster to emphasize the fact that discard changes file data (the discarded region is replaced with zeroes) and must invalidate caches where appropriate.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement support for the fallocate file operation. fallocate allocates blocks for a particular inode such that future writes to the associated region of the file are guaranteed not to fail with ENOSPC. This patch adds fallocate support to the following areas: - libglusterfs - mount/fuse - io-stats - performance/md-cache,open-behind - quota - cluster/afr,dht,stripe - rpc/xdr - protocol/client,server - io-threads - marker - storage/posix - libgfapi BUG: 949242 Change-Id: Ice8e61351f9d6115c5df68768bc844abbf0ce8bd Signed-off-by: Brian Foster <bfoster@redhat.com> Reviewed-on: http://review.gluster.org/4969 Tested-by: Gluster Build System <jenkins@build.gluster.com> Reviewed-by: Anand Avati <avati@redhat.com>

* open-behind: translator to perform open calls in backgroundAnand Avati2013-02-064-0/+957
This is functionality peeled out of quick-read into a separate translator. Fops which modify the file (where it is required to perform the operation on the true fd) will trigger and wait for the backend open to succeed and use that fd. Fops like fstat() readv() etc. will use anonymous FD (configurable) when original fd is unopened at the backend.
