event: rename event_XXX with gf_ prefixed
I hit one crash issue when using the libgfapi. In the libgfapi it will call glfs_poller() --> event_dispatch() in file api/src/glfs.c:721, and the event_dispatch() is defined by libgluster locally, the problem is the name of event_dispatch() is the extremly the same with the one from libevent package form the OS. For example, if a executable program Foo, which will also use and link the libevent and the libgfapi at the same time, I can hit the crash, like: kernel: glfs_glfspoll[68486]: segfault at 1c0 ip 00007fef006fd2b8 sp 00007feeeaffce30 error 4 in libevent-2.0.so.5.1.9[7fef006ed000+46000] The link for Foo is: lib_foo_LADD = -levent $(GFAPI_LIBS) It will crash. This is because the glfs_poller() is calling the event_dispatch() from the libevent, not the libglsuter. The gfapi link info : GFAPI_LIBS = -lacl -lgfapi -lglusterfs -lgfrpc -lgfxdr -luuid If I link Foo like: lib_foo_LADD = $(GFAPI_LIBS) -levent It will works well without any problem. And if Foo call one private lib, such as handler_glfs.so, and the handler_glfs.so will link the GFAPI_LIBS directly, while the Foo won't and it will dlopen(handler_glfs.so), then the crash will be hit everytime. The link info will be: foo_LADD = -levent libhandler_glfs_LIBADD = $(GFAPI_LIBS) I can avoid the crash temporarily by linking the GFAPI_LIBS in Foo too like: foo_LADD = $(GFAPI_LIBS) -levent libhandler_glfs_LIBADD = $(GFAPI_LIBS) But this is ugly since the Foo won't use any APIs from the GFAPI_LIBS. And in some cases when the --as-needed link option is added(on many dists it is added as default), then the crash is back again, the above workaround won't work.
