Issue:
md-cache caches a specified list of xattrs, and when cache invalidation
is enabled, it makes sense to recieve invalidation only when those xattrs
are modified by other clients. But the current implementation of upcall
is that, it will send invalidation when any of the on-disk xattrs is modified.

Solution:
md-cache sends a list of xattrs that it is interested in, to upcall by
issuing an ipc(). The challenge here is to make sure everytime a brick
goes offline and comes back up, the ipc() needs to be issued to the
bricks. Hence ipc() is sent from md-cache every time there is a
CHILD_UP/CHILD_MODIFIED event.

TODO:
There will be patches following, in cluster xlators, to implement ipc fop.

Copy/pasting complete functions for setting one boolean is rather ugly,
this can easily be solved with a helper function that gets the boolean
as an extra parameter.

Also removing dict_set_dynmstr() because there are no callers, and using
GF_MALLOC() or GF_CALLOC() to allocate memory for strings is much more
preferred.

And, as Kaleb pointed out, prefixing functions with an underscore '_' is
reserved for libc internals. Renaming the _dict_*() functions for that
reason.

Instead of including config.h in each file, and have the additional
config.h included from the compiler commandline (-include option).

When a .c file tests for a certain #define, and config.h was not
included, incorrect assumtions were made. With this change, it can not
happen again.

then check if for each non-ignorable key, values are same or not.  value_ignore
function is used to skip comparing values for the keys which must be present in
both the dictionaries but the value could be different.

geo-rep's stime xattr doesn't need to be present in list xattr but when
getxattr comes on stime xattr even if there aren't enough responses with the
xattr we should still give out an answer which is maximum of the stimes

This is the "Signer" -- responsible for signing files with their
checksums upon last file descriptor close (last release()).
The event notification facility provided by the changelog xlator
is made use of.

Moreover, checksums are as of now SHA256 hash of the object data
and is the only available hash at this point of time. Therefore,
there is no special "what hash to use" type check, although it's
does not take much to add various hashing algorithms to sign
objects with. Signatures are stored in extended attributes of the
objects along with the the type of hashing used to calculate the
signature. This makes thing future proof when other hash types
are added. The signature  infrastructure is provided by bitrot
stub: a little piece of code that sits over the POSIX xlator
providing interfaces to "get or set" objects signature and it's
staleness.

Since objects are signed upon receiving release() notification,
pre-existing data which are "never" modified would never be
signed. To counter this, an initial crawler thread is spawned
The crawler scans the entire brick for objects that are unsigned
or "missed" signing due to the server going offline (node reboots,
crashes, etc..) and triggers an explicit sign. This would also
sign objects when bit-rot is enabled for a volume and/or after
upgrade.

The tier translator shares most of DHT's code. It differs in how
subvolumes are chosen for I/Os, and how file migration (cache promotion
and demotion) is managed. That different functionality is split to either
DHT or tier logic according to the "tier_methods" structure.

A cache promotion and demotion thread is created in a manner
similar to the rebalance daemon. The thread operates a timing
wheel which periodically checks for promotion and demotion candidates
(files). Candidates are queued and then migrated. Candidates must exist on
the same node as the daemon and meet other critera per caching policies.

This patch has two authors (Dan Lambright and Joseph Fernandes). Dan
did the DHT changes and Joe wrote the cache policies. The fix depends on
DHT readidr changes and the database library which have been submitted
separately.  Header files in libglusterfs/src/gfdb should be reviewed in
patch 9683.

For more background and design see the feature page [1].
