Problem:

FUSE uses failures of communicating with /dev/fuse with various
errnos to indicate in-kernel conditions to userspace. Some of these
shouldn't be handled as an application error. Also the standard
POSIX errno description should not be shown as they are misleading
in this context.

Solution:

When writing to the fuse device, the caller of the respective
convenience routine can mask those errnos which don't qualify to
be an error for the application in that context, so then those
shall be reported at DEBUG level.

The possible non-standard errnos are reported with their
POSIX name instead of their description to avoid confusion.
(Eg. for ENOENT we don't log "no such file or directory",
we log indeed literal "ENOENT".)

Problem:
tests/bugs/protocol/bug-1433815-auth-allow.t fails
sometimes because of stale mount. This stale mount
comes into picture when parent process dies without
waiting for the child process which mounts fuse fs
to die

Fix:
Wait for mounting child process to die before dying.

Fixes: #1152

When "auto-invalidation" option was not specified for mount script,
glusterfs cmdline ended with "--auto-invalidation=" option. This patch
fixes that bug in mount script.

Thanks to Amar for reporting it.

<title>mount/fuse: expose auto-invalidation as a mount option</title>

<content type='text'>
Auto invalidation is necessary when same (meta)data is shared/access
across multiple mounts. However, if (meta)data is not shared, all
relevant I/O goes through the cache of single mount and hence is
coherent with (meta)data on bricks always. So, fuse-auto-invalidation
can be disabled for this case which gives a huge performance boost for
workloads that write data and then immediately read the data they just
wrote.

From glusterfs --help,

&lt;snip&gt;
      --auto-invalidation[=BOOL]   controls whether fuse-kernel can
                             auto-invalidate attribute, dentry and page-cache.
                             Disable this only if same files/directories are
                             not accessed across two different mounts
                             concurrently [default: "on"]
&lt;/snip&gt;

Details on how disabling auto-invalidation helped to reduce pgbench
init times can be found at [1]. Time taken for pgbench init of scale
8000 was 8340s. That will be an improvement of 86% (59280s vs 8340s)
with auto-invalidations turned off along with other
optimizations. Just disabling auto-invalidation contributed 56%
improvement by reducing the total time taken by 33260s.

This reverts commit b87c397091bac6a4a6dec4e45a7671fad4a11770.

There seems to be some performance regression with the patch and hence recommended to have it reverted.

<title>iobuf: Get rid of pre allocated iobuf_pool and use per thread mem pool</title>

<id>b87c397091bac6a4a6dec4e45a7671fad4a11770</id>
<content type='text'>
The current implementation of iobuf_pool has two problems:
- prealloc of 12.5MB memory, this limits the scale factor of the gluster
  processes due to RAM requirements
- lock contention, as the current implementation has one global
  iobuf_pool lock. Credits for debugging and addressing the same goes to
  Krutika Dhananjay &lt;kdhananj@redhat.com&gt;. Issue: #410

Hence changing the iobuf implementation to use per thread mem pool.
This may theoritically appear to cause perf dip as there is no preallocation.
But per thread mem pool will not have significant perf impact as the last
allocated memory is kept alive for subsequent allocs, for some time.
The worst case would be if iobufs requested are of random sizes each time.
The best case is, if we get iobuf request of the same size. From the perf
tests, this patch did not seem to cause any perf decrease.

Note that, with this patch, the rdma performance is going to degrade
drastically. In one of the previous patchsets we had fixes to not
degrade rdma perf, but rdma is not supported and also not tested [1].
Hence the decision was to not have code in rdma that is not tested
and not supported.
