dht, md-cache, upcall: Add invalidation of IATT when the layout changes
Issue: dht_layout is built as a part of lookup only. The layout can be modified by rebalance process. Since every IO fop is preceded by a lookup, there are very less issues of stale layout. But with enhancements of aggressive caching of stats in md-cache, the lookup will reduce and expose the stale layout issue often. Solution: Since stale layout is already an issue on dht, there is already a plan to fix this at the dht layer, but this fix is not currently planned for any release. Until this fix comes out, we can have a workaround where, the upcall will send a notification to md-cache when a layout xattr is changed. As a part of layout change notification the existing cache is invalidated and the next lookup will fetch the latest layout. This is not a foolproof solution as the window between the layout change and the next lookup(after invalidation of stat), where there will be stale layout. But until the final fix comes in, this reduces the stale layout window.
