2014-04-25T20:29:25+00:00

Avoid modifying autogenerated files and keeping them in
repository - autogenerate them on demand from ".x" files

glusterfs: zerofill support

2013-11-11T05:25:49+00:00

Add support for a new ZEROFILL fop. Zerofill writes zeroes to a file in
the specified range. This fop will be useful when a whole file needs to
be initialized with zero (could be useful for zero filled VM disk image
provisioning or  during scrubbing of VM disk images).

Client/application can issue this FOP for zeroing out. Gluster server
will zero out required range of bytes ie server offloaded zeroing. In
the absence of this fop,  client/application has to repetitively issue
write (zero) fop to the server, which is very inefficient method because
of the overheads involved in RPC calls  and acknowledgements.

WRITESAME is a  SCSI T10 command that takes a block of data as input and
writes the same data to other blocks and this write is handled
completely within the storage and hence is known as offload . Linux ,now
has support for SCSI WRITESAME command which is exposed to the user in
the form of BLKZEROOUT ioctl.  BD Xlator can exploit BLKZEROOUT ioctl to
implement this fop. Thus zeroing out operations can be completely
offloaded to the storage device , making it highly efficient.

The fop takes two arguments offset and size. It zeroes out 'size' number
of bytes in an opened file starting from 'offset' position.

This patch adds zerofill support to the following areas:
	- libglusterfs
	- io-stats
	- performance/md-cache,open-behind
	- quota
	- cluster/afr,dht,stripe
	- rpc/xdr
	- protocol/client,server
	- io-threads
	- marker
	- storage/posix
	- libgfapi

Client applications can exloit this fop by using glfs_zerofill introduced in
libgfapi.FUSE support to this fop has not been added as there is no system call
for this fop.

Changes from previous version 3:
* Removed redundant memory failure log messages

Changes from previous version 2:
* Rebased and fixed build error

Changes from previous version 1:
* Rebased for latest master

TODO :
     * Add zerofill support to trace xlator
     * Expose zerofill capability as part of gluster volume info

Here is a performance comparison of server offloaded zeofill vs zeroing
out using repeated writes.

[root@llmvm02 remote]# time ./offloaded aakash-test log 20

real	3m34.155s
user	0m0.018s
sys	0m0.040s
[root@llmvm02 remote]# time ./manually aakash-test log 20

real	4m23.043s
user	0m2.197s
sys	0m14.457s
[root@llmvm02 remote]# time ./offloaded aakash-test log 25;

real	4m28.363s
user	0m0.021s

[root@llmvm02 remote]# time ./manually aakash-test log 25

real	5m34.278s
user	0m2.957s
sys	0m18.808s

The argument log is a file which we want to set for logging purpose and
the third argument is size in GB .

As we can see there is a performance improvement of around 20% with this
fop.

glusterfs: discard (hole punch) support

2013-06-13T21:37:43+00:00

Add support for the DISCARD file operation. Discard punches a hole
in a file in the provided range. Block de-allocation is implemented
via fallocate() (as requested via fuse and passed on to the brick
fs) but a separate fop is created within gluster to emphasize the
fact that discard changes file data (the discarded region is
replaced with zeroes) and must invalidate caches where appropriate.

gluster: add fallocate fop support

2013-06-13T21:37:21+00:00

Implement support for the fallocate file operation. fallocate
allocates blocks for a particular inode such that future writes
to the associated region of the file are guaranteed not to fail
with ENOSPC.

This patch adds fallocate support to the following areas:

	- libglusterfs

2012-04-25T11:05:35+00:00

Event_notify can be used by others to communicate with glusterd.
A cbk event is also added for future use.

req has a op, and dict.
rsp has op_ret, op_errno, and dict.

With this, rebalance process can update the status before
exiting.

with this change, the xlator APIs will have a dictionary as extra
argument, which is passed between all the layers. This can be
utilized for overloading in some of the operations.

protocol/client,server: fcntl lock self healing.

2012-02-20T12:45:31+00:00

Currently(with out this patch), on a disconnect the server cleans up
the transport which inturn closes the fd's and releases the locks acquired on
those fd's by that client. On a reconnect, client just reopens the fd's but
doesn't reacquire the locks. The application that had previously acquired
the locks still is under the assumption that it is the owner of those locks
which might have been granted to other clients(if they request) by the server
leading to data corruption.

This patch allows the client to reacquire the fcntl locks (held on the fd's)
during client-server handshake.

* The server identifies the client via process-uuid-xl (which is a combination
  of uuid and client-protocol name, it is assumed to be unique) and lk-version
  number.

* The client maintains a list of process-uuid-xl, lk-version pair for each
  accepted connection. On a connect, the server traverses the list for a
  matching pair, if a matching pair is not found the the server returns
  lk-version with value 0, else it returns the lk-version it has in store.

* On a disconnect, the server and client enter grace period, and on the
  completion of the grace period, the client bumps up its lk-version number
  (which means, it will reacquire the locks the next time) and the server will
  distroy the connection. If reconnection happens within the grace period, the
  server will find the matching (process-uuid-xl, lk-version) pair in its list
  which guarantees that the fd's and there corresponding locks are still valid
  for this client.

Configurable options:
  To set grace-timeout, the following options are
    option server.grace-timeout value
    option client.grace-timeout value

  To enable or disable the lk-heal,
    option lk-heal [on|off]

gluster volume set command can be used to configurable options
