cluster/dht: instruct marker whenever it shouldn't do accounting

2013-11-26T18:27:21+00:00

This is needed for two reasons:

* since dht-linkfiles are internal, they shouldn't be accounted.
* hardlink handling in marker is broken. link/unlink of hardlinks
  present in same directory can break marker accounting. Hence, if src
  and dst are in same directory in case of rename, dht - if it breaks
  rename into link/unlink operations - should instruct marker to not to
  do accounting.

* nameless lookup friendly changes. uses gfid-to-path conversion

* Accounting still not correct with hardlinks.

zerofill: Change the type of len argument of glfs_zerofill() to off_t

2013-11-15T07:29:48+00:00

glfs_zerofill() can be potentially called to zero-out entire file and
hence allow for bigger value of length parameter.

glusterfs: zerofill support

2013-11-11T05:25:49+00:00

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

[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.

features/marker: force xtime updates (configurable) for client-pid = -1

2013-09-05T03:43:03+00:00

This is required by Geo-Replication that does auxillary mount
with client-pid as -1 (which has special treatment at specific
places in GlusterFS), to trigger xtime updates on the intermediate
master in a cascading setup.

Marker too had a check to "not" mark updates for geo-replication's
auxillary mounts. With the new geo-replication design, xtimes are
not set by the master on the slave for all entities. Due to this
cascading setups were broken.

This patch introduces "geo-replication.ignore-pid-check" option
as a "override" for the client-pid check for gsyncd's client-pid.
When this options is enabled, marker start "marking" even if the
updates are from the special client.

Geo-Replication on the detection of itself being an intermediate
master, enables this option.

glusterfs: discard (hole punch) support

2013-06-13T21:37:43+00:00

Add support for the DISCARD file operation. Discard punches a hole
in a file in the provided range. Block de-allocation is implemented
via fallocate() (as requested via fuse and passed on to the brick
fs) but a separate fop is created within gluster to emphasize the
fact that discard changes file data (the discarded region is
replaced with zeroes) and must invalidate caches where appropriate.

features/marker: log error when unlinking timestamp file

... so it's easy to figure out errno caused it. As of now
it's only due to ENOSPC. Logging is done in the error handling
routine, so any further changes that require unlinking of the
timestamp file due to some error condition(s) are logged.
