<title>libglusterfs: Move devel headers under glusterfs directory</title>

libglusterfs devel package headers are referenced in code using
include semantics for a program, this while it works can be better
especially when dealing with out of tree xlator builds or in
general out of tree devel package usage.

Towards this, the following changes are done,
- moved all devel headers under a glusterfs directory
- Included these headers using system header notation &lt;&gt; in all
code outside of libglusterfs
- Included these headers using own program notation "" within
libglusterfs

This change although big, is just moving around the headers and
making it correct when including these headers from other sources.

This helps us correctly include libglusterfs includes without
namespace conflicts.

fix inconsistent use in headers of:
  struct glfs and glfs_t
  struct glfs_fd and glfs_fd_t
  struct glfs_object and glfs_object_t

add typedefs to headers for various struct glfs_foos, and use them, e.g.:
  struct glfs_upcall and glfs_upcall_t

fix inconsistent type naming for 'enum glfs_lock_mode_t'. (All other
enum decls are 'enum glfs_foo' not 'enum_glfs_foo_t'), and add
typedefs for all enums, and use them.

style, replace tabs with spaces and follow return value style, i.e.:
  int
  pub_glfs_foo()
instead of:
  int pub_glfs_foo()

Update copyright dates, substantial new work has been done since 2012

<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: 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: redesign the public interface for upcall consumers</title>

<content type='text'>
The glfs_callback_arg and glfs_callback_inode_arg were allocated by
gfapi, and expected to be free()'d by the application. However it is not
reasonable to expect that applications use the same memory allocator to
as the compiled libgfapi.so. For instance, it is possible that gfapi
uses glibc malloc/free, and an application like NFS-Ganesha the versions
from jemalloc. Mismatching of the malloc() and free() functions causes
segmentation faults at best.

In order to prevent problems like this in the future, the API for
applications that consume upcalls has been remodeled. Any of the
structures that gfapi allocates, should be free'd with glfs_free(). The
members of the structures can not be accessed directly anymore, each
has its own function to access now.

Correcting the naming of the functions, structures and constants is a
continuation of commit 2775dc64101ed37c8d9809bf9852dbf0746ee2b6. These
new improvements not only have correct prefixes for the functions and
structures, the naming also reflects more to the upcall framework and
does not use "callback" anymore.

These two functions add support for POSIX ACLs through the GFAPI-handle
interface.

The initial infrastructure for POSIX ACLs based on libacl has been added
with the required changes to the POSIX xlator:
- http://review.gluster.org/9627

NetBSD does not support POSIX ACLs, so using any of the functions should
return ENOTSUP.

In case of any upcall cbk events received by the protocol/client,
gfapi will be notified which queues them up in a list (&lt;gfapi_cbk_upcall&gt;).

Applicatons are responsible to provide APIs to process &amp; notify them in case
of any such upcall events queued.

Added a new API which will be used by Ganesha to repeatedly poll for any
such upcall event notified (&lt;glfs_h_poll_upcall&gt;).

A new test-file has been added to test the cache_invalidation upcall events.

Below link has a writeup which explains the code changes done -

<title>glfs_fini: Clean up all the resources allocated in glfs_new.</title>

Initially even after calling glfs_fini(), all the threads created
during init and many other resources like memory pool, iobuf pool,
event pool and other memory allocs were not being freed.
With this patch these resources are freed in glfs_fini().

The two thumb rules followed in this patch are:
- The threads are not killed, they are made to exit voluntarily,
  once the queued tasks are completed. The main thread waits for
  the other threads to exit.
- Free the memory pools and destroy the graphs only after all the
  other threads are stopped, so that there are less chances of
  hitting access after free.

Resources freed and its order:
1. Destroy the inode table of all the graphs - Call forget on all the inodes.
   This will not be required when the cleanup during graph switch is
   implemented to perform inode table destroy.
2. Deactivate the current graph, call fini of all the xlators.
3. Syncenv destroy - Join the synctask threads and cleanup syncenv resources
   Sets the destroy mode, complete the existing synctasks, then join the
   synctask threads.
   After entering the destroy mode,
        -if a new synctask is submitted, it fails.
        -if syncenv_new() is called, it will end up creating new threads,
        but this is called only during init.
4. Poller thread destroy
   Register an event handler which sets the destroy mode for the poller.
   Once the poller is done processing all the events, it exits.
5. Tear down the logging framework
   The log file is closed and the log level is set to none, after this
   point no log messages appear either in log file or in stderr.
6. Destroy the timer thread
   Set the destroy bit, once the pending timer events are processed
   the timer thread exits.
   Note: Log infrastructure should be shutdown before destroying the timer
   thread as gf_log uses timers.
7. Destroy the glusterfs_ctx_t
   For all the graphs(active and passive), free graph, xlator structs and few other lists.
   Free the memory pools - iobuf pool, event pool, dict, logbuf pool,
   stub mem pool, stack mem pool, frame mem pool.

Few things not addressed in this patch:
1. rpc_transport object not destroyed, the PARENT_DOWN should have
   destroyed this object but has not, needs to be addressed as a part
   of different patch
2. Each xlator fini should clean up the local pool allocated by its xlator.
   Needs to be addresses as a part of different patch.
3. Each xlator should implement forget to free its inode_ctx.
   Needs to be addresses as a part of different patch.
3. Few other leaks reported by valgrind.
4. fd and fd contexts

The numbers:
The resource usage by the test case in this patch:
Without the fix, Memory: ~3GB; Threads: ~81
With this fix, Memory: 300MB; Threads: 1(main thread)

<title>gfapi: glfs_set_volfile_server() now entertains multiple calls</title>

Previous API:

glfs_set_volfile_server (..., const char *host, ...) - single call

New API's:

glfs_set_volfile_server (..., const char *host1, ...)
glfs_set_volfile_server (..., const char *host2, ...)

Multiple calls to this function with different volfile servers,
port or transport-type would create a list of volfile servers
which would be polled during `volfile_fetch_attempts()`

glfs_unset_volfile_server (..., const char *host, ...) to remove
a server from the list (this is provided for future usage)
