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.

Instead of including config.h in each file, and have the additional

When a .c file tests for a certain #define, and config.h was not
included, incorrect assumtions were made. With this change, it can not

<title>Avoid conflict between contrib/uuid and system uuid</title>

<content type='text'>
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.

<title>glfs_fini: Clean up all the resources allocated in glfs_new.</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dev.gluster.org/cgit/glusterfs.git/commit/?id=9c5011b8e49e34d736ba7cfadc0802e8b80682a7'/>
<id>9c5011b8e49e34d736ba7cfadc0802e8b80682a7</id>
<content type='text'>
Initially even after calling glfs_fini(), all the threads created
during init and many other resources like memory pool, iobuf pool,
event pool and other memory allocs were not being freed.
With this patch these resources are freed in glfs_fini().

The two thumb rules followed in this patch are:
- The threads are not killed, they are made to exit voluntarily,
  once the queued tasks are completed. The main thread waits for
  the other threads to exit.
- Free the memory pools and destroy the graphs only after all the
  other threads are stopped, so that there are less chances of
  hitting access after free.

Resources freed and its order:
1. Destroy the inode table of all the graphs - Call forget on all the inodes.
   This will not be required when the cleanup during graph switch is
   implemented to perform inode table destroy.
2. Deactivate the current graph, call fini of all the xlators.
3. Syncenv destroy - Join the synctask threads and cleanup syncenv resources
   Sets the destroy mode, complete the existing synctasks, then join the
   synctask threads.
   After entering the destroy mode,
        -if a new synctask is submitted, it fails.
        -if syncenv_new() is called, it will end up creating new threads,
        but this is called only during init.
4. Poller thread destroy
   Register an event handler which sets the destroy mode for the poller.
   Once the poller is done processing all the events, it exits.
5. Tear down the logging framework
   The log file is closed and the log level is set to none, after this
   point no log messages appear either in log file or in stderr.
6. Destroy the timer thread
   Set the destroy bit, once the pending timer events are processed
   the timer thread exits.
   Note: Log infrastructure should be shutdown before destroying the timer
   thread as gf_log uses timers.
7. Destroy the glusterfs_ctx_t
   For all the graphs(active and passive), free graph, xlator structs and few other lists.
   Free the memory pools - iobuf pool, event pool, dict, logbuf pool,
   stub mem pool, stack mem pool, frame mem pool.

Few things not addressed in this patch:
1. rpc_transport object not destroyed, the PARENT_DOWN should have
   destroyed this object but has not, needs to be addressed as a part
   of different patch
2. Each xlator fini should clean up the local pool allocated by its xlator.
   Needs to be addresses as a part of different patch.
3. Each xlator should implement forget to free its inode_ctx.
   Needs to be addresses as a part of different patch.
3. Few other leaks reported by valgrind.
4. fd and fd contexts

The numbers:
The resource usage by the test case in this patch:
Without the fix, Memory: ~3GB; Threads: ~81
With this fix, Memory: 300MB; Threads: 1(main thread)

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

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.

The typecast of pointer to uint64_t *, followed by setting of
64bit in inode_ctx_get() results in memory corruption on 32bit
system.
