gfapi: use const qualifier for glfs_*timens()

2016-08-12T11:20:04+00:00

glfs_*timens() functions have the last argument
of struct timespec type that is supposed to be
const. Now using glfs_*timens() in fops, implemented
on top of FUSE library, leads to compiler-time warning
about discarding const qualifier.

Introducing const qualifier does not break ABI,
so let's just fix it.

libgfapi: To support set_volfile-server-transport type "unix"

2015-12-02T09:19:54+00:00

This patch helps libgfapi to get the volfile using Unix domain socket.
run the attachment file in the bug to test.
The patch checks if the glfs_set_volfile_server transport is of type "unix",
If It is then uses rpc_transport_unix_options_build to get the volfile.

gfapi: add glfs_h_acl_set() and glfs_h_acl_get()

2015-03-18T17:39:03+00:00

These two functions add support for POSIX ACLs through the GFAPI-handle
interface.

The initial infrastructure for POSIX ACLs based on libacl has been added
with the required changes to the POSIX xlator:

NetBSD does not support POSIX ACLs, so using any of the functions should
return ENOTSUP.

every/where: add GF_FOP_IPC for inter-translator communication

2015-03-17T14:02:15+00:00

Several features - e.g. encryption, erasure codes, or NSR - involve
multiple cooperating translators which sometimes need a "private" means
of communication amongst themselves.  Historically we've used virtual or
synthetic xattrs, but that's not very elegant and clutters up the
getxattr/setxattr path which must also handle real xattr requests.  This
new fop should address that.

The only argument is an int32_t "op" which should be recognized by the
target translator.  It is recommended that translators using these
feature follow some convention regarding the ops that they define, to
avoid conflicts.  Using a hash of the target translator's type string as
a base for a series of ops would probably be a good start.  Any other
information can be passed in both directions using xdata.

The default behavior for this fop, as with any other, is to pass through
to FIRST_CHILD.  That makes use of this fop "transparent" to other
translators that were written before it existed, but it also means that
it only really works with pass-through translators.  If a routing
translator (such as DHT) or a fan-out translator (such as AFR) is
involved, the IPC might not reach its intended destination unless those
translators are modified to forward IPC fops along all paths.

If an IPC gets all the way to storage/posix it is considered an error,
much like an uncaught exception.  We don't actually *do* anything in
that case, but we do log it send back an EOPNOTSUPP error.  This makes
the "unrecognized opcode" condition distinguishable from the "no IPC
support" condition (which would yield an RPC error instead) so clients
can probe for the presence of a handler for their own favorite opcode
and either use that or use old-school xattrs depending on the result.

api: versioned symbols in libgfapi.so for compatibility

2015-01-12T17:16:08+00:00

Use versioned symbols to keep libgfapi at libgfapi.so.0.0.0

Revisited to address broken build on Mac OS X

See http://review.gluster.org/9036

Rebased to include http://review.gluster.org/#/c/9376/ (glfs_resolve())
but note that gerrit's "Rebase Change" couldn't do it.

N.B. noticed that glfs_get_volumeid() decl in glfs.h was missing
the __THROW, added it.

On systems using ELF and the GNU toolchain, symbol versions are created
with a .symver asm operand in the .c source file. Clang is claimed to
be compatible with gcc, so we'll pretend for now that this also works
with clang.

On Mac OS X, aliases are created with __asm "magic" in the .h header
file. In the normal case, when both the decl and defn match, that's
all that's needed. In our case though the decl and defn don't match ---
we have, e.g. a defn such as 'int glfs_foo(...)' and the corresponding
decl is 'int pub_glfs_foo(...)'. To make this work we create the necessary
aliases in the library at link time with the -alias_list link option.

Note that this results in there being pairs of symbols in the .dylib,
e.g. _pub_glfs_foo and _glfs_foo$GFAPI_3.4.0. We could use another
link option, -unexported_symbols_list to elide the _pub_glfs_* symbols.
(And we probably should.)

Linux symbol versioning was essentially copied from Solaris; in general
I would expect this to "just work" on Solaris, but until someone tries
we don't really know.

libgfapi: Added support to fetch volume info from glusterd and store in glfs object.

2014-05-11T09:47:42+00:00

Defined new APIs in the libgfapi module, given a glfs object,
 * to send handshake RPC call to glusterd process to fetch UUID of the volume
 * store it in the glusterfs_context linked to the glfs object.
 * to parse UUID from its cannonical string format into 16-byte array
   before sending it to the libgfapi users.

Defined a RPC call in glusterd which can be used to query volume related
info by other processes using 'clnt_handshake_procs'.

Note - Currently this RPC call to glusterd process is used only to fetch UUID.
But it can be extended to get other volume related structures as well.

In addition to the above, defined a new variable to keep track of such handshake
RPCs still in progress to make sure all the corresponding RPC callbacks have been
processed before libgfapi returns the glfs object initialized.

Also bumping up the GFAPI current version number since there is a new API
"glfs_get_volume_id" defined and exposed by libgfapi as part of these changes.

gfapi: glfs_set_volfile_server() now entertains multiple calls

2014-04-01T22:06:32+00:00

Previous API:

glfs_set_volfile_server (..., const char *host, ...) - single call

New API's:

glfs_set_volfile_server (..., const char *host1, ...)
glfs_set_volfile_server (..., const char *host2, ...)

Multiple calls to this function with different volfile servers,
port or transport-type would create a list of volfile servers
which would be polled during `volfile_fetch_attempts()`

glfs_unset_volfile_server (..., const char *host, ...) to remove
a server from the list (this is provided for future usage)
