geo-rep: Avoid cold tier bricks during ENTRY operation
This is a series of patch which aims to fix geo-replication in a Tiering Volume. Problem: Consider, a file is placed in volume initially and then hot tier is attached. During any operation on the file, due to lookup a linkto file is created in hot tier. Now, any namespace operation carried out on the file is recorded in both cold and hot tier. There is a room for races when both changelogs are replayed. Solution: So, We are going to replay (namespace related)operations only in the hot tier. Why? a. If the file is directly placed in Hot tier , all fops will be recorded in HOT tier. b. If the file is already present in Cold tier, and if any fop is carried out, it creates linkto file in Hot tier. Now, operations like UNLINK, RENAME are captured in Hot tier(by means of linkto file). This way, we can get both tier's operation in HOT tier itself. Now, once the file is demoted to COLD tier, any namespace operation carried out on the cold tier can be avoided as we directly RECORD the same in HOT tier. How? 1. Check whether the brick is cold tier and skip ENTRY operation. 2. Also, if it is cold tier brick, use Xsync(which is used during initial run). This will help in getting all cold tier bricks changes using File System crawl and helps in avoiding races with hot tier brick(which can happen if historychangelog used in cold tier brick).
