glusterfs.git/tests/basic/distribute/force-migration.t, branch v7.1 cluster/dht: avoid overwriting client writes during migration 2018-02-02T15:24:38+00:00 Susant Palai spalai@redhat.com 2018-01-18T07:36:12+00:00 545a7ce6762a1b3a7b989b43a9d18b5b1b299df0 For more details on this issue see https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/308 Solution: This is a restrictive solution where a file will not be migrated if a client writes to it during the migration. This does not check if the writes from the rebalance and the client actually do overlap. If dht_writev_cbk finds that the file is being migrated (PHASE1) it will set an xattr on the destination file indicating the file was updated by a non-rebalance client. Rebalance checks if any other client has written to the dst file and aborts the file migration if it finds the xattr. updates gluster/glusterfs#308 Change-Id: I73aec28bc9dbb8da57c7425ec88c6b6af0fbc9dd Signed-off-by: Susant Palai <spalai@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Raghavendra G <rgowdapp@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: N Balachandran <nbalacha@redhat.com>

Solution:
This is a restrictive solution where a file will not be migrated
if a client writes to it during the migration. This does not
check if the writes from the rebalance and the client actually
do overlap.

If dht_writev_cbk finds that the file is being migrated (PHASE1)
it will set an xattr on the destination file indicating the file
was updated by a non-rebalance client.
Rebalance checks if any other client has written to the dst file
and aborts the file migration if it finds the xattr.

updates gluster/glusterfs#308
