It has become very difficult to identify the xlator which returned
negative op_ret. Being able to just change the log level and
visualize the stack is helpful in such cases.

introduced warnings from libtool about the xlator .so names.

According to [1], the -module option must appear in the Makefile.am

We've been lucky that we haven't had any symbol collisions until now.
Now we have a collision between the snapview-client's svc_lookup() and
libntirpc's svc_lookup() with nfs-ganesha's FSAL_GLUSTER and libgfapi.

As a short term solution all the snapview-client's FOP methods were
changed to static scope. See http://review.gluster.org/11805. This
works in snapview-client because all the FOP methods are defined in
a single source file. This solution doesn't work for other xlators
with FOP methods defined in multiple source files.

To address this we link with libtool's '-export-symbols $symbol-file'
(a wrapper around `ld --version-script ...` --- on linux anyway) and
only export the minimum required symbols from the xlator sharedlib.

N.B. the libtool man page says that the symbol file should be named
foo.sym, thus the rename of *.exports to *.sym. While foo.exports
worked, we will follow the documentation.

There are three kinds of inline functions: plain inline, extern inline,
and static inline.  All three have been removed from .c files, except
those in "contrib" which aren't our problem.  Inlines in .h files, which
are overwhelmingly "static inline" already, have generally been left
alone.  Over time we should be able to "lower" these into .c files, but
that has to be done in a case-by-case fashion requiring more manual
effort.  This part was easy to do automatically without (as far as I can
tell) any ill effect.

In the process, several pieces of dead code were flagged by the
compiler, and were removed.

Pretty much a classic case.  STRIPE_STACK_UNWIND frees the "local"
structure.  In the "virtual xattr" path, used for lock recovery among
other things, we were calling STRIPE_STACK_UNWIND and then continuing to
clean up "our" parts of the just-freed structure.  Oops.

<title>stripe: set ENOENT when a READ hits EOF</title>

<id>2bd2ccf0fdd5390c1c07cb228048f93e5e516512</id>
<content type='text'>
The NFS-server sets EOF only in the READ reply when op_errno is set to
ENOENT.  Xlators are expected to set op_errno to ENOENT when EOF is
reached, op_ret will contain the number of bytes returned by the READ.

When an NFS-client (like VMware ESXi) do a READ that exceeds the size of
the file, errno should be set to EOF and the return value contains the
number of bytes that are read (from the requested offset, until the end
of the file). Not setting EOF on a correct short READ, can result in
errors on the NFS-client.

This is not an issue with the Linux NFS-client (or VFS). Linux is smart
enough to not try to read more bytes than the file contains.

The NFS-server sets EOF only in the READ reply when op_errno is set to
ENOENT.  Xlators are expected to set op_errno to ENOENT when EOF is
reached, op_ret will contain the number of bytes returned by the READ.

When an NFS-client (like VMware ESXi) do a READ that exceeds the size of
the file, errno should be set to EOF and the return value contains the
number of bytes that are read (from the requested offset, until the end
of the file). Not setting EOF on a correct short READ, can result in
errors on the NFS-client.

This is not an issue with the Linux NFS-client (or VFS). Linux is smart
enough to not try to read more bytes than the file contains.

glusterfs relies on Linux uuid implementation, which
API is incompatible with most other systems's uuid. As
a result, libglusterfs has to embed contrib/uuid,
which is the Linux implementation, on non Linux systems.
This implementation is incompatible with systtem's
built in, but the symbols have the same names.

Usually this is not a problem because when we link
with -lglusterfs, libc's symbols are trumped. However
there is a problem when a program not linked with
-lglusterfs will dlopen() glusterfs component. In
such a case, libc's uuid implementation is already
loaded in the calling program, and it will be used
instead of libglusterfs's implementation, causing
crashes.

A possible workaround is to use pre-load libglusterfs
in the calling program (using LD_PRELOAD on NetBSD for
instance), but such a mechanism is not portable, nor
is it flexible. A much better approach is to rename
libglusterfs's uuid_* functions to gf_uuid_* to avoid
any possible conflict. This is what this change attempts.
