        Backport of http://review.gluster.org/6230
Previously, glusterd used to just send back the local status of a task
in a 'volume status [tasks]' command. As the rebalance operation is
distributed and asynchronus, this meant that different peers could give
different status values for a rebalance or remove-brick task.

With this patch, all the peers will send back the tasks status as a part
of the 'volume status' commit op, and the origin peer will aggregate
these to arrive at a final status for the task.

The aggregation is only done for rebalance or remove-brick tasks. The
replace-brick task will have the same status on all the peers (see
comment in glusterd_volume_status_aggregate_tasks_status() for more
information) and need not be aggregated.

The rebalance process has 5 states,
 NOT_STARTED - rebalance process has not been started on this node
 STARTED - rebalance process has been started and is still running
 STOPPED - rebalance process was stopped by a 'rebalance/remove-brick
           stop' command
 COMPLETED - rebalance process completed successfully
 FAILED - rebalance process failed to complete successfully
The aggregation is done using the following precedence,
 STARTED &gt; FAILED &gt; STOPPED &gt; COMPLETED &gt; NOT_STARTED

The new changes make the 'volume status tasks' command a distributed
command as we need to get the task status from all peers.

The following tests were performed,
- Start a remove-brick task and do a status command on a peer which
  doesn't have the brick being removed. The remove-brick status was
  given correctly as 'in progress' and 'completed', instead of 'not
  started'
- Start a rebalance task, run the status command. The status moved to
  'completed' only after rebalance completed on all nodes.

Also, change the CLI xml output code for rebalance status to use the
same algorithm for status aggregation.

Following are the cli commands that are new/re-worked:
======================================================

volume quota &lt;VOLNAME&gt; {enable|disable|list [&lt;path&gt; ...]|remove &lt;path&gt;| default-soft-limit &lt;percent&gt;} |
volume quota &lt;VOLNAME&gt; {limit-usage &lt;path&gt; &lt;size&gt; [&lt;percent&gt;]} |

glusterd changes:
=================
* Quota limits are now set as extended attributes by glusterd from
  the aux mount created by the cli.
* The gfids of the directories on which quota limits are set
  for a given volume are stored in
  /var/lib/glusterd/vols/&lt;volname&gt;/quota.conf file in binary format,
  and whose cksum and version is stored in
  /var/lib/glusterd/vols/&lt;volname&gt;/quota.cksum.

Listing the nodes on which rebalance hasn't been started is just giving
out extraneous information.

Also, refactor the rebalance status printing code into a single function
and use it for both rebalance and remove-brick status.

<title>bd: posix/multi-brick support to BD xlator</title>
<updated>2013-11-13T19:38:42+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>M. Mohan Kumar</name>
<email>mohan@in.ibm.com</email>

<published>2013-11-13T17:14:42+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://fedorapeople.org/cgit/anoopcs/public_git/glusterfs.git/commit/?id=48c40e1a42efe1b59126406084821947d139dd0e'/>
<id>48c40e1a42efe1b59126406084821947d139dd0e</id>
<content type='text'>
Current BD xlator (block backend) has a few limitations such as
* Creation of directories not supported
* Supports only single brick
* Does not use extended attributes (and client gfid) like posix xlator
* Creation of special files (symbolic links, device nodes etc) not
  supported

Basic limitation of not allowing directory creation is blocking
oVirt/VDSM to consume BD xlator as part of Gluster domain since VDSM
creates multi-level directories when GlusterFS is used as storage
backend for storing VM images.

To overcome these limitations a new BD xlator with following
improvements is suggested.

* New hybrid BD xlator that handles both regular files and block device
  files
* The volume will have both POSIX and BD bricks. Regular files are
  created on POSIX bricks, block devices are created on the BD brick (VG)
* BD xlator leverages exiting POSIX xlator for most POSIX calls and
  hence sits above the POSIX xlator
* Block device file is differentiated from regular file by an extended
  attribute
* The xattr 'user.glusterfs.bd' (BD_XATTR) plays a role in mapping a
  posix file to Logical Volume (LV).
* When a client sends a request to set BD_XATTR on a posix file, a new
  LV is created and mapped to posix file. So every block device will
  have a representative file in POSIX brick with 'user.glusterfs.bd'
  (BD_XATTR) set.
* Here after all operations on this file results in LV related
  operations.

For example opening a file that has BD_XATTR set results in opening
the LV block device, reading results in reading the corresponding LV
block device.

When BD xlator gets request to set BD_XATTR via setxattr call, it
creates a LV and information about this LV is placed in the xattr of the
posix file. xattr "user.glusterfs.bd" used to identify that posix file
is mapped to BD.

Usage:
Server side:
[root@host1 ~]# gluster volume create bdvol host1:/storage/vg1_info?vg1 host2:/storage/vg2_info?vg2
It creates a distributed gluster volume 'bdvol' with Volume Group vg1
using posix brick /storage/vg1_info in host1 and Volume Group vg2 using
/storage/vg2_info in host2.

[root@host1 ~]# gluster volume start bdvol

Client side:
[root@node ~]# mount -t glusterfs host1:/bdvol /media
[root@node ~]# touch /media/posix
It creates regular posix file 'posix' in either host1:/vg1 or host2:/vg2 brick
[root@node ~]# mkdir /media/image
[root@node ~]# touch /media/image/lv1
It also creates regular posix file 'lv1' in either host1:/vg1 or
host2:/vg2 brick
[root@node ~]# setfattr -n "user.glusterfs.bd" -v "lv" /media/image/lv1
[root@node ~]#
Above setxattr results in creating a new LV in corresponding brick's VG
and it sets 'user.glusterfs.bd' with value 'lv:&lt;default-extent-size'
[root@node ~]# truncate -s5G /media/image/lv1
It results in resizig LV 'lv1'to 5G

New BD xlator code is placed in xlators/storage/bd directory.

Also add volume-uuid to the VG so that same VG can't be used for other
bricks/volumes. After deleting a gluster volume, one has to manually
remove the associated tag using vgchange &lt;vg-name&gt; --deltag
&lt;trusted.glusterfs.volume-id:&lt;volume-id&gt;&gt;

Changes from previous version V5:
* Removed support for delayed deleting of LVs

Changes from previous version V4:
* Consolidated the patches
* Removed usage of BD_XATTR_SIZE and consolidated it in BD_XATTR.

Changes from previous version V3:
* Added support in FUSE to support full/linked clone
* Added support to merge snapshots and provide information about origin
* bd_map xlator removed
* iatt structure used in inode_ctx. iatt is cached and updated during
fsync/flush
* aio support
* Type and capabilities of volume are exported through getxattr

Changes from version 2:
* Used inode_context for caching BD size and to check if loc/fd is BD or
  not.
* Added GlusterFS server offloaded copy and snapshot through setfattr
  FOP. As part of this libgfapi is modified.
* BD xlator supports stripe
* During unlinking if a LV file is already opened, its added to delete
  list and bd_del_thread tries to delete from this list when a last
  reference to that file is closed.

Changes from previous version:
* gfid is used as name of LV
* ? is used to specify VG name for creating BD volume in volume
  create, add-brick. gluster volume create volname host:/path?vg
* open-behind issue is fixed
* A replicate brick can be added dynamically and LVs from source brick
  are replicated to destination brick
* A distribute brick can be added dynamically and rebalance operation
  distributes existing LVs/files to the new brick
* Thin provisioning support added.
* bd_map xlator support retained
* setfattr -n user.glusterfs.bd -v "lv" creates a regular LV and
  setfattr -n user.glusterfs.bd -v "thin" creates thin LV
* Capability and backend information added to gluster volume info (and
--xml) so
  that management tools can exploit BD xlator.
* tracing support for bd xlator added

TODO:
* Add support to display snapshots for a given LV
* Display posix filename for list-origin instead of gfid

Current BD xlator (block backend) has a few limitations such as
* Creation of directories not supported
* Supports only single brick
* Does not use extended attributes (and client gfid) like posix xlator
* Creation of special files (symbolic links, device nodes etc) not
  supported

Basic limitation of not allowing directory creation is blocking
oVirt/VDSM to consume BD xlator as part of Gluster domain since VDSM
creates multi-level directories when GlusterFS is used as storage
backend for storing VM images.

To overcome these limitations a new BD xlator with following
improvements is suggested.

* New hybrid BD xlator that handles both regular files and block device
  files
* The volume will have both POSIX and BD bricks. Regular files are
  created on POSIX bricks, block devices are created on the BD brick (VG)
* BD xlator leverages exiting POSIX xlator for most POSIX calls and
  hence sits above the POSIX xlator
* Block device file is differentiated from regular file by an extended
  attribute
* The xattr 'user.glusterfs.bd' (BD_XATTR) plays a role in mapping a
  posix file to Logical Volume (LV).
* When a client sends a request to set BD_XATTR on a posix file, a new
  LV is created and mapped to posix file. So every block device will
  have a representative file in POSIX brick with 'user.glusterfs.bd'
  (BD_XATTR) set.
* Here after all operations on this file results in LV related
  operations.

For example opening a file that has BD_XATTR set results in opening
the LV block device, reading results in reading the corresponding LV
block device.

When BD xlator gets request to set BD_XATTR via setxattr call, it
creates a LV and information about this LV is placed in the xattr of the
posix file. xattr "user.glusterfs.bd" used to identify that posix file
is mapped to BD.

Usage:
Server side:
[root@host1 ~]# gluster volume create bdvol host1:/storage/vg1_info?vg1 host2:/storage/vg2_info?vg2
It creates a distributed gluster volume 'bdvol' with Volume Group vg1
using posix brick /storage/vg1_info in host1 and Volume Group vg2 using
/storage/vg2_info in host2.

[root@host1 ~]# gluster volume start bdvol

Client side:
[root@node ~]# mount -t glusterfs host1:/bdvol /media
[root@node ~]# touch /media/posix
It creates regular posix file 'posix' in either host1:/vg1 or host2:/vg2 brick
[root@node ~]# mkdir /media/image
[root@node ~]# touch /media/image/lv1
It also creates regular posix file 'lv1' in either host1:/vg1 or
host2:/vg2 brick
[root@node ~]# setfattr -n "user.glusterfs.bd" -v "lv" /media/image/lv1
[root@node ~]#
Above setxattr results in creating a new LV in corresponding brick's VG
and it sets 'user.glusterfs.bd' with value 'lv:&lt;default-extent-size'
[root@node ~]# truncate -s5G /media/image/lv1
It results in resizig LV 'lv1'to 5G

New BD xlator code is placed in xlators/storage/bd directory.

Also add volume-uuid to the VG so that same VG can't be used for other
bricks/volumes. After deleting a gluster volume, one has to manually
remove the associated tag using vgchange &lt;vg-name&gt; --deltag
&lt;trusted.glusterfs.volume-id:&lt;volume-id&gt;&gt;
