<title>NFS: stripe-xlator should pass EOF at end of READDIR</title>
<updated>2014-08-26T16:53:09+00:00</updated>

<id>b47ce75a49dee95da17630e735db50baa9420729</id>
<content type='text'>
NFS READDIR replies are made of a header, a sequence of
entries, and a EOF flag. When GlusterFS's NFS server is
used along with stripe xlator, it fails to set the EOF
flag, which violates NFS RFC and confuses some clients.

The bug is caused because nfs xlator sets EOF if it gets
op_errno set to ENOENT. That value is produced in storage
xlator and propagated through server, client, and other
xlators until stripe xlator handles it. stripe only passed
op_errno if op_ret &lt; 0, which is not the case here. This
change set adds a special case for that situation to fix
the problem.

<title>cluster/stripe: Fix EINVAL errors on quota enabled volumes</title>

<content type='text'>
        Backport of http://review.gluster.org/8145

Write operations on directories with quota enabled used to fail with
EINVAL on stripe volumes. This was due to assert failure in
stripe_lookup(), meant to ensure loc-&gt;path is not NULL. However,
in nameless lookup (in this particular case triggered by quotad, which
has stripe xlator in its graph), loc-&gt;path can be legitimately NULL.

The fix involves removing this check in stripe_lookup().

Problem:
In a stripe volume, symlinks are created only on the first brick via the
default_symlink() call. During gfid lookup, server sends ESTALE from the other
bricks, which is treated as error in stripe_lookup_cbk()

Fix:
Don't treat ESTALE as error in stripe_lookup_cbk()

Make changes to distributed xlator to work with BD xlator. Unlike files,
a block device can't be removed when its opened. So some part of the
code were moved down to avoid this situation. Also before truncating a
BD file its BD_XATTR should be set otherwise truncate will result in
truncating posix file. So file is created with needed BD_XATTR and
truncate is invoked. Also enables BD xlator in stripe volume type.

Make changes to distributed xlator to work with BD xlator. Unlike files,
a block device can't be removed when its opened. So some part of the
code were moved down to avoid this situation. Also before truncating a
BD file its BD_XATTR should be set otherwise truncate will result in
truncating posix file. So file is created with needed BD_XATTR and
truncate is invoked. Also enables BD xlator in stripe volume type.

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
sys	0m0.025s
[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.

It has been available for a while now and is probably the sane
default due to the more efficient layout and performance benefit.
