libglusterfs: Implement cluster-syncop

2015-05-05T10:14:25+00:00

        Backport of http://review.gluster.org/10240

This patch implements syncop equivalent for cluster of xlators. The xlators on
which the fop needs to be performed is taken in input arguments to the
functions and the responses are gathered and provided as the output.

This idea is taken from afr-v2 self-heal implementation by Avati.

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.

Upcall: New xlator to store various states and send cbk events

2015-03-17T12:08:07+00:00

Framework on the server-side, to handle certain state of the files
accessed and send notifications to the clients connected.

A generic and extensible framework, used to maintain states in
the glusterfsd process for each of the files accessed
(including the clients info doing the fops) and send
notifications to the respective glusterfs clients incase of
any change in that state.

This patch handles "Inode Update/Invalidation" upcall event.

zerofill: Change the type of len argument of glfs_zerofill() to off_t

2013-11-15T07:29:48+00:00

glfs_zerofill() can be potentially called to zero-out entire file and
hence allow for bigger value of length parameter.

glusterfs: zerofill support

2013-11-11T05:25:49+00:00

Add support for a new ZEROFILL fop. Zerofill writes zeroes to a file in
the specified range. This fop will be useful when a whole file needs to
be initialized with zero (could be useful for zero filled VM disk image
provisioning or  during scrubbing of VM disk images).

Client/application can issue this FOP for zeroing out. Gluster server
will zero out required range of bytes ie server offloaded zeroing. In
the absence of this fop,  client/application has to repetitively issue
write (zero) fop to the server, which is very inefficient method because
of the overheads involved in RPC calls  and acknowledgements.

WRITESAME is a  SCSI T10 command that takes a block of data as input and
writes the same data to other blocks and this write is handled
completely within the storage and hence is known as offload . Linux ,now
has support for SCSI WRITESAME command which is exposed to the user in
the form of BLKZEROOUT ioctl.  BD Xlator can exploit BLKZEROOUT ioctl to
implement this fop. Thus zeroing out operations can be completely
offloaded to the storage device , making it highly efficient.

The fop takes two arguments offset and size. It zeroes out 'size' number
of bytes in an opened file starting from 'offset' position.

This patch adds zerofill support to the following areas:
	- libglusterfs
	- io-stats
	- performance/md-cache,open-behind
	- quota
	- cluster/afr,dht,stripe
	- rpc/xdr
	- protocol/client,server
	- io-threads
	- marker
	- storage/posix
	- libgfapi

Client applications can exloit this fop by using glfs_zerofill introduced in
libgfapi.FUSE support to this fop has not been added as there is no system call
for this fop.

Changes from previous version 3:
* Removed redundant memory failure log messages

Changes from previous version 2:
* Rebased and fixed build error

Changes from previous version 1:
* Rebased for latest master

TODO :
     * Add zerofill support to trace xlator
     * Expose zerofill capability as part of gluster volume info

Here is a performance comparison of server offloaded zeofill vs zeroing
out using repeated writes.

[root@llmvm02 remote]# time ./offloaded aakash-test log 20

real	3m34.155s
user	0m0.018s
sys	0m0.040s
[root@llmvm02 remote]# time ./manually aakash-test log 20

real	4m23.043s
user	0m2.197s

[root@llmvm02 remote]# time ./manually aakash-test log 25

real	5m34.278s
user	0m2.957s
sys	0m18.808s

The argument log is a file which we want to set for logging purpose and
the third argument is size in GB .

As we can see there is a performance improvement of around 20% with this
fop.

glusterfs: discard (hole punch) support

2013-06-13T21:37:43+00:00

Add support for the DISCARD file operation. Discard punches a hole
in a file in the provided range. Block de-allocation is implemented
via fallocate() (as requested via fuse and passed on to the brick
fs) but a separate fop is created within gluster to emphasize the
fact that discard changes file data (the discarded region is
replaced with zeroes) and must invalidate caches where appropriate.
