We need a provision to be able to set lkowner (which is
used to distinguish locks maintained by server) in gfapi.
Since the same lk_owner need to be used to be able to
flush the lock while closing the fd, store the lkowner
in the glfd structure itself.

A new API has been added to be able to set lkowner in glfd.

This is backport of below mainline fix -

<title>gfapi: Duplicate the buffer sent in setxattr calls</title>

Issue:
The caller of glfs_setxattr sends a buffer to set as the value.
We create a dict in which the pointer to the value is set.
Underlying layers like md-cache take a ref on this dict to store
the value for a longer time. But the moment setxattr is complete,
the caller of glfs_setxattr can free the value memory.

Solution:
memcpy the setxattr value to the gluster buffer.

<title>gfapi/handleops: Introducing glfs_xreaddirplus_r() fop for handleops</title>

Its known that readdirplus operation fetches stat as well for each of the
dirents. But often applications may need extra information, like for eg.,
NFS-Ganesha which operates on handles needs handles for each of those
dirents returned. So this would require extra calls to the backend, in this
case LOOKUP (which is very expensive operation) resulting in very low
readdir performance.

To address that introducing this new API using which applications can
make request for any extra information to be returned as part of
readdirplus response.

Currently this new api returns stat and handles as demanded by application.
The synopsis of the API is noted in glfs.h.

@todo:
* Enhance test script using this new API

Below were the perf results on single brick volume with and without
these changes -

Dataset used -
10*100 directories and each directory containing 100 empty files.

I used NFS-Ganesha application to test these changes -
&gt;for i in {1..5}; do systemctl restart nfs-ganesha; sleep 10; mount -t nfs -o vers=4 localhost:/brick_vol /mnt; cd /mnt; echo "ITERATION$i"; date; find . &gt; tmp-nfs.log; date; cd /; umount /mnt; sleep 2; done;

<title>gfapi: async fops should unref in callbacks</title>

<id>e65738818dd22462ec00dda021566654d1c702b1</id>
<content type='text'>
If fd is unref'd at the end of async call then the unref in cbks would
lead to double unref and possible crash. Removing duplicate unrefs.

Added unref only in failure cases.

A simple test case has been added to test async write case. Need to
extend the same for other async APIs too.

Details:
All glfd based calls in libgfapi, except for glfs_open and glfs_close,
behave in the same way. At the start of the operation, they take a ref
on glfd and fd. At the end of the operation, they unref it. Async calls
are a little different as they unref in the cbk function. A successfull
open call does not unref either the glfd or fd, thereby functioning as a
reference for a OPEN file object. glfs_close makes a syncop_flush call
sandwiched between a fd ref and unref(this can be removed, more on this
below), followed by a call to glfs_mark_glfd_for_deletion which unrefs
glfd and also calls glfs_fd_destroy as a release function thereby doing
a unref on fd too.

Functionally, there is no problem with how everything works when as
described above. However, it is a little non-intuitive that we need to
perform a fd_unref as a consequence of a implicit fd_ref that happens
within glfs_resolve_fd. As we perform a GF_REF_GET(glfd) at the start of
every operation, it would be worthwhile to remove the fd_ref that
glfs_resovle_fd takes and do away with explicit fd_unref()s at the end
of every operation. This is the same reason why we don't need the fd_ref
in glfs_close. This is however not in the scope of this patch.

extend the same for other async APIs too.

Details:
All glfd based calls in libgfapi, except for glfs_open and glfs_close,
behave in the same way. At the start of the operation, they take a ref
on glfd and fd. At the end of the operation, they unref it. Async calls
are a little different as they unref in the cbk function. A successfull
open call does not unref either the glfd or fd, thereby functioning as a
reference for a OPEN file object. glfs_close makes a syncop_flush call
sandwiched between a fd ref and unref(this can be removed, more on this
below), followed by a call to glfs_mark_glfd_for_deletion which unrefs
glfd and also calls glfs_fd_destroy as a release function thereby doing
a unref on fd too.

Functionally, there is no problem with how everything works when as
described above. However, it is a little non-intuitive that we need to
perform a fd_unref as a consequence of a implicit fd_ref that happens
within glfs_resolve_fd. As we perform a GF_REF_GET(glfd) at the start of
every operation, it would be worthwhile to remove the fd_ref that
glfs_resovle_fd takes and do away with explicit fd_unref()s at the end
of every operation. This is the same reason why we don't need the fd_ref
in glfs_close. This is however not in the scope of this patch.

<title>gfapi: warn when glfs_realpath() returned malloc'd memory</title>

glfs_realpath() may return memory allocated with malloc(). Depending on
the memory allocator that the application uses, calling free() on the
returned string can cause segmentation faults or other problems.

Functions that allocate memory, need to match the free'ing of the same
memory allocator and memory accounting. glibc/malloc and jemalloc/free
do not match together (other allocators could probably trigger these
problems as well).

Applications need to provide a pre-allocated buffer, or in case
glfs_realpath() allocates the memory, glfs_free() should be used to free
it.

<title>gfapi: Fix few fd ref leaks</title>

From the code inspection, have observed that there are fd ref
leaks for few fd-based gfapi fops. 'glfs_resolve_fd' returns
a fd (either existing or migrated) with an extra ref taken.
This needs to be unref'ed at the end of the operation.

<title>gfapi: do not cache upcalls if the application is not interested</title>

When the volume option 'features.cache-invalidation' is enabled, upcall
events are sent from the brick process to the client. Even if the client
is not interested in upcall events itself, md-cache or other xlators may
benefit from them.

By adding a new 'cache_upcalls' boolean in the 'struct glfs', we can
enable the caching of upcalls when the application called
glfs_h_poll_upcall(). NFS-Ganesha sets up a thread for handling upcalls
in the initialization phase, and calls glfs_h_poll_upcall() before any
NFS-client accesses the NFS-export.

In the future there will be a more flexible registration API for
enabling certain kind of upcall events. Until that is available, this
should work just fine.

Verificatio of this change is not trivial within our current regression
test framework. The bug report contains a description on how to reliably
reproduce the problem with the glusterfs-coreutils.
