There are a number of nit-level issues throughout the source with
the use of localtime and ctime. While they apparently aren't causing
too many problems, apart from the one in bz 828058, they ought to be
fixed. Among the "real" problems that are fixed in this patch:
1) general localtime and ctime not MT-SAFE. There's a non-zero chance
   that another thread calling localtime (or ctime) will over-write
   the static data about to be used in another thread
2) localtime(&amp; &lt;64-bit-type&gt;) or ctime(&amp; &lt;64-bit-type&gt;) generally
   not a problem on 64-bit or little-endian 32-bit. But even though
   we probably have zero users on big-ending 32-bit platforms, it's
   still incorrect.
3) multiple nested calls passed as params. Last one wins, i.e. over-
   writes result of prior calls.
4) Inconsistent error handling. Most of these calls are for logging,
   tracing, or dumping. I submit that if an error somehow occurs in
   the call to localtime or ctime, the log/trace/dump still should
   still occur.
5) Appliances should all have their clocks set to UTC, and all log
   entries, traces, and dumps should use GMT.
6) fix strtok(), change to strtok_r()

Other things this patch fixes/changes (that aren't bugs per se):
1) Change "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" and similar to their equivalent shorthand,
   e.g. "%F %T"
2) change sizeof(timestr) to sizeof timestr. sizeof is an operator,
   not a function. You don't use i +(32), why use sizeof(&lt;var&gt;).
   (And yes, you do use parens with sizeof(&lt;type&gt;).)
3) change 'char timestr[256]' to 'char timestr[32]' where appropriate.
   Per-thread stack is limited. Time strings are never longer than ~20
   characters, so why waste 220+ bytes on the stack?

Things this patch doesn't fix:
1) hodgepodge of %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S versus %Y/%m/%d-%H%M%S and other
   variations. It's not clear to me whether this ever matters, not to
   mention 3rd party log filtering tools may already rely on a
   particular format. Still it would be nice to have a single manifest
   constant and have every call to localtime/strftime consistently use
   the same format.

BUG: 832173

By default the GlusterFS-native client uses 64-bit inodes. Some 32-bit
applications can not handle these correctly. Introduce a client-side
mount option "enable-ino32" which causes the FUSE-client to squash the
64-bit inodes into a 32-bit value.

rpcsvc attempts to send "error reply" using the req object. If actor has
already performed rpcsvc_submit_generic, then req is destroyed. So if the
actor returned -1 (RPCSVC_ACTOR_ERROR) on failing to submit reply, then req
would be 'free'd' twice and will result in a crash eventually.

<title>rpc: Reduce frame-timeout for glusterd connections</title>

Reduce frame-timeout for glusterd connections from 30mins to 10 mins. 30mins is
too long when compared to cli timeout of 2mins. Changing to 10mins reduces the
disparity between cli and glusterd.

Also, fix glusterfs_submit_reply() so that a reply is sent even if serialize
failed.

<title>calls to dict_allocate_and_serialize() are not 64-bit clean</title>

All calls to dict_allocate_and_serialize() pass the address of a 32-bit
type, but must cast it to the 64-bit pointer type (size_t *).

This happens to work on LE machines, but even if it's apparently benign,
it's still a bug. On BE machines it is not benign.

GF_PROTOCOL_DICT_SERIALIZE() hacks around it by creating a size_t temp
var, but that's, well, a hack, IMO when you consider that all the callers
are actually passing &amp;&lt;u_int&gt;; the param should just be a u_int * and
eliminate the buggy casts and the temp var in the macro.

Nobody apparently uses the Fedora/EPEL PPC RPMs, but they might. People
are trying to build gluster.org bits on SPARC and tripping over this.

Commit 7d0397c2 introduced two issues:

 i) broke the libfuse derived mount logic (details below)
ii) in case of a daemonized glusterfs client is ran as daemon, parent
    process can return earlier than the mount is in place, which breaks
    agents that programmatically do a gluster mount via a direct call to
    glusterfs (ie. not via mount(8)).

This patch fixes these issues by a refactor that merges the approaches
sported by commits

  7d0397c2 fuse: allow requests during mount (needed for SELinux labels)
  c5d781e0 upon daemonizing, wait on mtab update to terminate in parent

Original daemonized libfuse event flow is as follows:

  try:
    fd = open("/dev/fuse")
    mount("-oopts,fd=%s" % fd ...)
    mount(8) -f    # manipulate mtab
  except:
    sp = socketpair()
    env _FUSE_COMMFD=sp fusermount -oopts
    fd = receive_fd(sp)

  where fusermount(1) does:
    fd = open("/dev/fuse")
    mount("-oopts,fd=%d" % fd ...)
    sp = atoi(getenv("_FUSE_COMMFD"))
    send_fd(sp, fd)

  daemonize(
    # in child
    fuse_loop(fd)
  )
  # in parent
  exit()

As of 013850c9 (instead of adopting FUSE's 47e61004¹), we went for async
mtab manipulation, and as of c5d781e0, still wanted keep that in sync
with termination of daemon parent, so we changed it to:

  try:
    fd = open("/dev/fuse")
    mount("-oopts,fd=%s" % fd ...)
    pid = fork(
      # in child
      mount(8) -f
    )
  except:
    sp = socketpair()
    env _FUSE_COMMFD=sp fusermount -oopts
    fd = receive_fd(sp)

  daemonize(
    fuse_loop(fd)
  )
  waitpid(pid)
  exit()

(Note the new approch came only to direct [privileged] mount, so fusermount
based mounting was already partially broken.)

As of 7d0397c2, with the purpose of facilitating async mount, the event flow
was practically reduced to:

  fd = open("/dev/fuse")
  fork(
    mount("-oopts,fd=%s" % fd ...)
    fork(
      mount(8) -n
    )
  )

  daemonize(
    fuse_loop(fd)
  )
  exit()

Thus fusermount based mounting become defunct; however, the dead
code was still kept around. So, we should either drop it or fix
it. Also, the mtab manipulator is forked into yet another child
with no purpose, while syncing with it in daemon parent is broken.
mount(2) is neither synced with parent.

Now we are coming to the following scheme:

  fd = open("/dev/fuse")
  pid = fork(
    try:
      mount("-oopts,fd=%s" % fd ...)
      mount(8) -n
    except:
      env _FUSE_DEVFD=fd fusermount -oopts
  )

  where fusermount(1) does:
    fd = getenv("_FUSE_DEVFD")
    mount("-oopts,fd=%s" % fd ...)

  daemonize(
    fuse_loop(fd)
  )
  waitpid(pid)
  exit()

Nb.:

- We can't help losing compatibility with upstream fusermount,
  as it sends back the fd only when mount(2) is completed,
  thus defeating the async mount approach. The
  'getenv("_FUSE_DEVFD")' mechanism is specfic to glusterfs'
  fusermount (at the moment -- sure we can talk about it with
  upstream)

- fusermount opens /dev/fuse at same privilege level as of
  original process², so we can bravely go on with doing the open
  unconditionally in original process

- Original mounting code actually tries to mount through
  fusermount _twice_: if first attempt fails, then, assuming
  subtype support is missing in kernel, it tries again subtype
  stripped. However, this is redundant, as fusermount internally
  also performs the subtype check³. Therefore we simplified the
  logic to have just a single fusermount call.

- we revert the changes to mount.glusterfs as of 7d0397c2, as
  now there is no issue with glusterfs to work around in that scope
