fuse: add support for kernel writeback cache

2018-05-04T17:42:12+00:00

- Added kernel-writeback-cache command line and xlator
  option for requesting utilisation of the writeback
  cache of the kernel in FUSE_INIT (see [1]).
- Added attr-times-granularity command line and xlator
  option via which granularity of the {a,m,c}time in
  stat (attr) data that we support can be indicated to
  kernel. This is a means to avoid divergence of the
  attr times between kernel and userspace that could
  occur with writeback-cache, while still maintaining
  maximum time precision the FUSE server is capable of
  (see [2]).
- Handling FATTR_CTIME flag in FUSE_SETATTR that
  indicates presence of ctime in setattr payload.
  Currently we cannot associate arbitrary ctimes to
  files on backend, so we just touch them to update
  their ctimes to current time. Having ctimes in setattr
  payload is also a side effect of writeback cache
  (see [3] and [4]).

client: make fuse direct I/O strategies explicit

2018-03-22T04:27:11+00:00

So far the --direct-io-mode option has been presented
as of being Boolean valued. That is however not exact,
as a third behavior is chosen if the option is not
specified.

We accept now the "auto" value as an explicit choice
for the default heuristics, and indicate in the
descriptions of the option (which occur in commandline
help and in the gluterfs / mount.glusterfs man pages)
that auto is the default.

The default heuristics was briefly described in the
commandline help. We are getting rid of that, because:
- it's not the right place to provide such details;
- there is no guarantee of keeping the current heuristics
  so it might go out of sync with reality;
- that is already the case to some degree, because the
  description did not take into account that the default
  heuristics varies between platforms (on Mac, it's just
  "off"), and that xlators can also prescribe direct I/O
  for the file of their choice (see change
  I3fe3312cd96baa4eecfe1247ab7255b4f455f049).

glusterfsd: allow subdir mount

2017-08-04T05:26:42+00:00

Changes:

1. Take subdir mount option in client (mount.gluster / glusterfsd)
2. Pass the subdir mount to server-handshake (from client-handshake)
3. Handle subdir-mount dir's lookup in server-first-lookup and handle
   all fops resolution accordingly with proper gfid of subdir
4. Change the auth/addr module to handle the multiple subdir entries
   in option, and valid parsing.

How to use the feature:

`# mount -t glusterfs $hostname:/$volname/$subdir /$mount_point`
Or
`# mount -t glusterfs $hostname:/$volname -osubdir_mount=$subdir /$mount_point`

Option can be set like:

`# gluster volume set  auth.allow "/subdir1(192.168.1.*),/(192.168.10.*),/subdir2(192.168.8.*)"`

mount.glusterfs: getopts support and cleanup

2013-12-13T10:25:53+00:00

This patch is an attempt to provide some much needed
cleanup for future maintenance of `mount.glusterfs`

- Add checks for command failures
- Spliting large code into subsequent simpler functions
- Standardized variables
- use 'bash' instead of 'sh' - since string manipulation
  and variable handling is far superior
- Overall code cleanup and Copyright change to Red, Hat Inc.
- Add new style of mounting with a comma separated list
  ~~~
  $ mount -t glusterfs ,,..:/ 
  ~~~
- Update age old `manpage` with new options :-)
