For the entrylks that are granted after a blocked state, the
blocked time is not printed. A patch for that will be sent
later.

<title>features/locks: Convert old style metadata locks to new-style</title>

<id>c6a555d1268c667b72728ffa58600fc0632465e4</id>
<content type='text'>
Problem:
In 3.3, inode locks of both metadata and data are competing in same
domain called data domain (old style). This coupled with eager-lock,
delayed post-ops introduce delays for metadata operations like chmod,
chown etc. To avoid this problem, inode locks for metadata ops are
moved to different domain called metadata domain in 3.4 (new style).
But when both 3.3 clients and 3.4 clients are present, 3.4 clients
for metadata operations still need to take locks in "old style" so
that proper synchronization happens across 3.3 and 3.4 clients. Only
when all clients are &gt;= 3.4 locks will be taken in "new style" for
metadata locks. Because of this behavior as long as at least one 3.3
client is present, delays will be perceived for doing metadata
operations on all 3.4 clients while data operations are in
progress (Ex: Untar will untar one file per sec).

Fix:
Make locks xlators translate old-style metadata locks to new-style
metadata locks. Since upgrade process suggests upgrading servers
first and then clients, this approach gives good results.

Tests:
1) Tested that old style metadata locks are converted to new style by
   locks xlator using gdb
2) Tested that disconnects purge locks in meta-data domain as well
   using gdb and statedumps.
3) Tested that untar performance is not hampered by meta-data and
   data operations.
4) Had two mounts one with orthogonal-meta-data on and other with
   orthogonal-meta-data off ran chmod 777 &lt;file&gt; on one mount and
   chmod 555 &lt;file&gt; on the other mount in while loops when I took
   statedumps I saw that both the transports are taking lock on
   same domain with same range.

Implementation of client_t

The feature page for client_t is at
http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Planning34/client_t

In addition to adding libglusterfs/client_t.[ch] it also extracts/moves
the locktable functionality from xlators/protocol/server to libglusterfs,
where it is used; thus it may now be shared by other xlators too.

This patch is large as it is. Hooking up the state dump is left to do
in phase 2 of this patch set.

(N.B. this change/patch-set supercedes previous change 3689, which was
corrupted during a rebase. That change will be abandoned.)

<title>locks: Added an xdata-based 'cmd' for inodelk count in a given domain</title>

Following is the semantics of the 'cmd':
1) If @domain is NULL - returns no. of locks blocked/granted in all domains
2) If @domain is non-NULL- returns no. of locks blocked/granted in that
domain
3) If @domain is non-existent - returns '0'; This is important since
locks xlator creates a domain in a lazy manner.

where @domain - a string representing the domain.

implement xattrs for GF_XATTR_LOCKINFO_KEY, which will be used
for posix-locks migration from old to new graph after a switch.

fgetxattr (fd, GF_XATTR_LOCKINFO_KEY) will return a dict.
This dict has a serialized dict stored for key
GF_XATTR_LOCKINFO_KEY. This serialized dict in turn has fdnum
value of locks acquired on this fd with modified pathinfo
(containing hostname and base directory components) as key.

fsetxattr (newfd, GF_XATTR_LOCKINFO_KEY, dict) has following
semantics. dict can be the result of a previous fgetxattr with
GF_XATTR_LOCKINFO_KEY. In that case, a dict_get on dict
constructed using serialized buffer is done on modified pathinfo
as key. If a value is got, that value is treated as fdnum and for
every lock l on newfd-&gt;inode we do,
      if (l-&gt;fdnum == fdnum) {
         l-&gt;fdnum = fd_fdnum (newfd);
         l-&gt;transport = &lt;connection identifier of connection on which fsetxattr came&gt;;
      }
