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

[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.

gfapi: object handle based API extensions

2013-10-11T19:16:46+00:00

There is an ongoing effort to integrate NFS Ganesha (
https://github.com/nfs-ganesha/nfs-ganesha/wiki ) with GlusterFS as one of
the file system back ends.

Towards this we need extensions to gfapi that can handle object based
operations. Meaning, instead of using full paths or relative paths from
cwd, it is required that we can work with APIs, like the *at POSIX
variants, to be able to create, lookup, open etc. files and directories.
Hence the objects are the files or directories themselves and we give out
handles to these objects that can be used for further operations.

This code drop is an initial implementation of the proposed APIs.

The new APIs are implemented as glfs_h_XXX variants in the file
glfs-handleops.c to mirror glfs-fops.c style. The code leverages holding
onto inode references and doling these out as opaque/cookie type objects to
the callers, to enable them to be used as handles in other operations.

An fd based approach was considered, but due to the extra footprint that
the fd structure and its counterparts would incur, this was dropped to take
the approach of holding inode references themselves.

Tested by extending glfsxmp.c to invoke and exercise the added APIs, and
further tested with a reference integration of the same as an FSAL with NFS
Ganesha.

core: avoid infinite mutual recursion between THIS and gf_log

2013-07-19T06:12:11+00:00

This caused a stack overflow when (for some unknown reason) pthread_setspecific
was failing.  Therefore __glusterfs_this_location called gf_log which used THIS
which wraps __glusterfs_this_location which . . . you get the idea.  We have to
break the loop somewhere, and we can't reasonably make _gf_log stop using THIS,
so we make __glusterfs_this_location stop using _gf_log.

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.

glusterfs_ctx_t: un-globalize the filesystem context

2012-07-18T06:04:39+00:00

So far there has been a global glusterfs_ctx_t object which
represents the running instance of the filesystem (client or server).
It contains the various graphs, connection to the management daemon
over which new graphs are obtained, calls stacks issued on this
filesystem, and a bunch of such things.

With the introduction of libgfapi, it is no more true that there will
be only one filesystem context in a process. Applications can
be written to use libgfapi and obtain serveral instances of different
filesystems/volumes in the same process.

This involves messy untangling of assumptions inside libglusterfs that
there would only be one global glusterfs_ctx_t and offload that
assumption to glusterfsd/ and cli/ (where it is true).
