The jenkins release-new job runs on a CentOS 7 box, which does not
have python3. As a result it runs (autogen.sh and) configure before
producing the dist tar file, converting all the python3 shebangs to
python2 shebangs in the dist tar file.

Then when that tar file is "carried" to, e.g. Fedora koji build
system to build packages, the shebangs are incorrect, despite having
originally been correct in the git repo.

shebangs changed from /usr/bin/python2 to /usr/bin/python3.
(Reminder, various distribution packaging guidelines require use
of explicit python version and don't allow '#!/usr/bin/env python',
regardless of how handy that idiom may be.)

glusterfs.spec(.in) package python{2,3}-gluster and python2 or
python3 dependencies as appropriate.

configure(.ac):
+ test for and use python2 or python3 as appropriate. If build
  machine has python2 and python3, use python3. Override by
  setting PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2 when running configure.
+ PYTHONDEV_CPPFLAGS from python[23]-config --includes is a
  better match to the original python sysconfig.get_python_inc().
  All those other extraneous flags breaks the build.
+ Only change the shebangs once. Changing them over and over
  again, e.g., during a `make glusterrpms` in extras/LinuxRPM
  just sends make (is it really make that's looping?) into an
  infinite loop. If you figure out why, let me know.
+ Oldest python2 is python2.6 on CentOS 6 and Debian 8 (Jessie).
  Everything else has 2.7 or 3.x
+ logic from https://review.gluster.org/c/glusterfs/+/21050, which
  needs to be removed/merged after that patch is merged.

Builds on CentOS 6, CentOS 7, Fedora 28, Fedora rawhide, and the
mysterious RHEL &gt; 7.

Problem: In brick mux scenario sometime glusterd is not able
         to start/attach a brick and gluster v status shows
         brick is already running

Solution:
          1) To make sure brick is running check brick_path in
             /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/fd , if a brick is consumed by the brick
             process it means brick stack is come up otherwise not
          2) Before start/attach a brick check if a brick is mounted
             or not
          3) At the time of printing volume status check brick is
             consumed by any brick process

Test:  To test the same followed procedure
       1) Setup brick mux environment on a vm
       2) Put a breaking point in gdb in function posix_health_check_thread_proc
          at the time of notify GF_EVENT_CHILD_DOWN event
       3) unmount anyone brick path forcefully
       4) check gluster v status it will show N/A for the brick
       5) Try to start volume with force option, glusterd throw
          message "No device available for mount brick"
       6) Mount the brick_root path
       7) Try to start volume with force option
       8) down brick is started successfully

starting with libattr-devel-2.4.48-1 in Fedora 28 &lt;attr/xattr.h&gt; has
been removed from the package.

On Fedora, RHEL/CentOS, and SUSE, the glibc-headers package has provided
a near identical file, &lt;sys/xattr.h&gt;, in all the releases that we care
about.

On Debian, libc6-dev provides &lt;sys/xattr.h&gt; all the way back to 8/Jessie
and presumably all Ubuntu derivatives since then.

Note that on Debian the sys headers are installed in

This patch fixes more selected comma white space (ws_comma) as suggested
by the 2to3 utility.

Note: Fedora packaging guidelines and SUSE rpmlint require explicit
shebangs, so popular practices like #!/usr/bin/env python and
or #!/usr/bin/python3

Note: Selected small fixes from 2to3 utility. Specifically apply,
basestring, funcattrs, has_key, idioms, map, numliterals, raise,
set_literal, types, urllib, and zip have already been applied. Also
version agnostic imports for urllib, cpickle, socketserver, _thread,
queue, etc., suggested by Aravinda in https://review.gluster.org/#/c/19767/1

Note: these 2to3 fixes report no changes are necessary: asserts, buffer,
exec, execfile, exitfunc, filter, getcwdu, imports2, input, intern,
itertools, metaclass, methodattrs, ne, next, nonzero, operator, paren,
raw_input, reduce, reload, renames, repr, standarderror, sys_exc, throw,

There seems to be races which are not fixed by commit

frequently. So, till the issue is fixed, marking this test as bad.

<title>cluster/dht: fixes to parallel renames to same destination codepath</title>

Test case:
 # while true; do uuid="`uuidgen`"; echo "some data" &gt; "test$uuid"; mv
   "test$uuid" "test" -f || break; echo "done:$uuid"; done

 This script was run in parallel from multiple mountpoints

Along the course of getting the above usecase working, many issues
were found:

Issue 1:
=======
consider a case of rename (src, dst). We can encounter a situation
where,
* dst is a file present at the time of lookup
* dst is removed by the time rename fop reaches glusterfs

In this scenario, acquring inodelk on dst fails with ESTALE resulting
in failure of rename. However, as per POSIX irrespective of whether
dst is present or not, rename should be successful. Acquiring entrylk
provides synchronization even in races like this.

Algorithm:
1. Take inodelks on src and dst (if dst is present) on respective
   cached subvols. These inodelks are done to preserve backward
   compatibility with older clients, so that synchronization is
   preserved when a volume is mounted by clients of different
   versions. Once relevant older versions (3.10, 3.12, 3.13) reach
   EOL, this code can be removed.
2. Ignore ENOENT/ESTALE errors of inodelk on dst.
3. protect namespace of src and dst. To protect namespace of a file,
   take inodelk on parent on hashed subvol, then take entrylk on the
   same subvol on parent with basename of file. inodelk on parent is
   done to guard against changes to parent layout so that hashed
   subvol won't change during rename.
4. &lt;rest of rename continues&gt;
5. unlock all locks

Issue 2:
========
linkfile creation in lookup codepath can race with a rename. Imagine
the following scenario:
* lookup finds a data-file with gfid - gfid-dst - without a
  corresponding linkto file on hashed-subvol. It decides to create
  linkto file with gfid - gfid-dst.
    - Note that some codepaths of dht-rename deletes linkto file of
      dst as first step. So, a lookup racing with an in-progress
      rename can easily run into this situation.
* a rename (src-path:gfid-src, dst-path:gfid-dst) renames data-file
  and hence gfid of data-file changes to gfid-src with path dst-path.
* lookup proceeds and creates linkto file - dst-path - with gfid -
  dst-gfid - on hashed-subvol.
* rename tries to create a linkto file dst-path with src-gfid on
  hashed-subvol, but it fails with EEXIST. But EEXIST is ignored
  during linkto file creation.

Now we've ended with dst-path having different gfids - dst-gfid on
linkto file and src-gfid on data file. Future lookups on dst-path will
always fail with ESTALE, due to differing gfids.

The fix is to synchronize linkfile creation in lookup path with rename
using the same mechanism of protecting namespace explained in solution
of Issue 1. Once locks are acquired, before proceeding with linkfile
creation, we check whether conditions for linkto file creation are
still valid. If not, we skip linkto file creation.

Issue 3:
========
gfid of dst-path can change by the time locks are acquired. This
means, either another rename overwrote dst-path or dst-path was
deleted and recreated by a different client. When this happens,
cached-subvol for dst can change. If rename proceeds with old-gfid and
old-cached subvol, we'll end up in inconsistent state(s) like dst-path
with different gfids on different subvols, more than one data-file
being present etc.

Fix is to do the lookup with a new inode after protecting namespace of
dst. Post lookup, we've to compare gfids and correct local state
appropriately to be in sync with backend.

Issue 4:
========
During revalidate lookup, if following a linkto file doesn't lead to a
valid data-file, local-&gt;cached-subvol was not reset to NULL. This
means we would be operating on a stale state which can lead to
inconsistency. As a fix, reset it to NULL before proceeding with
lookup everywhere.

Issue 5:
========
Stale dentries left out in inode table on brick resulted in failures
of link fop even though the file/dentry didn't exist on backend fs. A
patch is submitted to fix this issue. Please check the dependency tree
of current patch on gerrit for details

In short, we fix the problem by not blindly trusting the
inode-table. Instead we validate whether dentry is present by doing
lookup on backend fs.

Test case:
 # while true; do uuid="`uuidgen`"; echo "some data" &gt; "test$uuid"; mv
   "test$uuid" "test" -f || break; echo "done:$uuid"; done

 This script was run in parallel from multiple mountpoints

Along the course of getting the above usecase working, many issues
were found:

Issue 1:
=======
consider a case of rename (src, dst). We can encounter a situation
where,
* dst is a file present at the time of lookup
* dst is removed by the time rename fop reaches glusterfs

In this scenario, acquring inodelk on dst fails with ESTALE resulting
in failure of rename. However, as per POSIX irrespective of whether
dst is present or not, rename should be successful. Acquiring entrylk
provides synchronization even in races like this.

Algorithm:
1. Take inodelks on src and dst (if dst is present) on respective
   cached subvols. These inodelks are done to preserve backward
   compatibility with older clients, so that synchronization is
   preserved when a volume is mounted by clients of different
   versions. Once relevant older versions (3.10, 3.12, 3.13) reach
   EOL, this code can be removed.
2. Ignore ENOENT/ESTALE errors of inodelk on dst.
3. protect namespace of src and dst. To protect namespace of a file,
   take inodelk on parent on hashed subvol, then take entrylk on the
   same subvol on parent with basename of file. inodelk on parent is
   done to guard against changes to parent layout so that hashed
   subvol won't change during rename.
4. &lt;rest of rename continues&gt;
5. unlock all locks

Issue 2:
========
linkfile creation in lookup codepath can race with a rename. Imagine
the following scenario:
* lookup finds a data-file with gfid - gfid-dst - without a
  corresponding linkto file on hashed-subvol. It decides to create
  linkto file with gfid - gfid-dst.
    - Note that some codepaths of dht-rename deletes linkto file of
      dst as first step. So, a lookup racing with an in-progress
      rename can easily run into this situation.
* a rename (src-path:gfid-src, dst-path:gfid-dst) renames data-file
  and hence gfid of data-file changes to gfid-src with path dst-path.
* lookup proceeds and creates linkto file - dst-path - with gfid -
  dst-gfid - on hashed-subvol.
* rename tries to create a linkto file dst-path with src-gfid on
  hashed-subvol, but it fails with EEXIST. But EEXIST is ignored
  during linkto file creation.

Now we've ended with dst-path having different gfids - dst-gfid on
linkto file and src-gfid on data file. Future lookups on dst-path will
always fail with ESTALE, due to differing gfids.

Note 1) we're not supposed to be using #!/usr/bin/env python, see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines?rd=Packaging/Guidelines#Shebang_lines

Note 2) we're also not supposed to be using "!/usr/bin/python,
see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Avoid_usr_bin_python_in_RPM_Build#Quick_Opt-Out

The previous patch (https://review.gluster.org/19767) tried to do too
much in one patch, so it was abandoned.

This patch does two things:
1) minor cleanup of configure(.ac) to explicitly use python2
2) change all the shebang lines to #!/usr/bin/python2 and add them
where they were missing based on warnings emitted during rpmbuild.

In a follow-up patch python2 will eventually be changed to python3.

Before that python2-isms (e.g. print, string.join(), etc.) need to be
converted to python3. Some of those can be rewritten in version agnostic
python. E.g. print statements become print() with "from __future_ import
print_function". The python 2to3 utility will be used for some of those.
Also Aravinda has given guidance in the comments to the first patch for
changes.
