rpc: Included necessary stats in 'gfs3_cbk_cache_invalidation_req'

2015-05-07T11:22:43+00:00

To avoid extra network fops, it will benifit clients if the server
can send the updated stat of the file/dir and of the parent directory
(including oldparent in case of RENAME fop) while sending
GF_CBK_CACHE_INVALIDATION upcall event.
This patch handles rpc protocol changes.

Upcall: Replaced opaque gfid with string in rpc cbk args

2015-05-07T11:19:41+00:00

For GF_CBK_CACHE_INVALIDATION, have changed the type of gfid
to be string (cannonical form) instead of opaque byte format
to ensure correctness across platforms supporting different
endianness.

Upcall: Process each of the upcall events separately

2015-05-07T11:19:16+00:00

As suggested during the code-review of Bug1200262, have modified
GF_CBK_UPCALL to be exlusively GF_CBK_CACHE_INVALIDATION.
Thus, for any new upcall event, a new CBK procedure will be added.

Also made changes to store upcall data separately based on the
upcall event type received.

every/where: add GF_FOP_IPC for inter-translator communication

2015-03-17T14:02:15+00:00

Several features - e.g. encryption, erasure codes, or NSR - involve
multiple cooperating translators which sometimes need a "private" means
of communication amongst themselves.  Historically we've used virtual or
synthetic xattrs, but that's not very elegant and clutters up the
getxattr/setxattr path which must also handle real xattr requests.  This
new fop should address that.

The only argument is an int32_t "op" which should be recognized by the
target translator.  It is recommended that translators using these
feature follow some convention regarding the ops that they define, to
avoid conflicts.  Using a hash of the target translator's type string as
a base for a series of ops would probably be a good start.  Any other
information can be passed in both directions using xdata.

The default behavior for this fop, as with any other, is to pass through
to FIRST_CHILD.  That makes use of this fop "transparent" to other
translators that were written before it existed, but it also means that
it only really works with pass-through translators.  If a routing
translator (such as DHT) or a fan-out translator (such as AFR) is
involved, the IPC might not reach its intended destination unless those
translators are modified to forward IPC fops along all paths.

If an IPC gets all the way to storage/posix it is considered an error,
much like an uncaught exception.  We don't actually *do* anything in
that case, but we do log it send back an EOPNOTSUPP error.  This makes
the "unrecognized opcode" condition distinguishable from the "no IPC
support" condition (which would yield an RPC error instead) so clients
can probe for the presence of a handler for their own favorite opcode
and either use that or use old-school xattrs depending on the result.

Upcall: New xlator to store various states and send cbk events

2015-03-17T12:08:07+00:00

Framework on the server-side, to handle certain state of the files
accessed and send notifications to the clients connected.

A generic and extensible framework, used to maintain states in
the glusterfsd process for each of the files accessed
(including the clients info doing the fops) and send
notifications to the respective glusterfs clients incase of
any change in that state.

This patch handles "Inode Update/Invalidation" upcall event.

libgfapi: Added support to fetch volume info from glusterd and store in glfs object.

2014-05-11T09:47:42+00:00

Defined new APIs in the libgfapi module, given a glfs object,
 * to send handshake RPC call to glusterd process to fetch UUID of the volume
 * store it in the glusterfs_context linked to the glfs object.
 * to parse UUID from its cannonical string format into 16-byte array
   before sending it to the libgfapi users.

Defined a RPC call in glusterd which can be used to query volume related
info by other processes using 'clnt_handshake_procs'.

Note - Currently this RPC call to glusterd process is used only to fetch UUID.
But it can be extended to get other volume related structures as well.

In addition to the above, defined a new variable to keep track of such handshake
RPCs still in progress to make sure all the corresponding RPC callbacks have been
processed before libgfapi returns the glfs object initialized.

Also bumping up the GFAPI current version number since there is a new API
"glfs_get_volume_id" defined and exposed by libgfapi as part of these changes.

glusterd: Ping timer implmentation

2014-04-29T21:23:51+00:00

This patch refactors the existing client ping timer implementation, and makes
use of the common code for implementing both client ping timer and the
glusterd ping timer.

A new gluster rpc program for ping is introduced. The ping timer is only
started for peers that have this new program. The deafult glusterd ping
timeout is 30 seconds. It is configurable by setting the option
'ping-timeout' in glusterd.vol .

Also, this patch introduces changes in the glusterd-handshake path. The client
programs for a peer are now set in the callback of dump_versions, for both
the older handshake and the newer op-version handshake. This is the only place
in the handshake process where we know what programs a peer supports.

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

[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.
