statedump: Prevent (null) typestr to be printed

2016-04-24T13:44:44+00:00

Problem:
After the commits: 7e44c783ad731856956929f6614bbe045c26ea3a - lock: use
spinlock only on multicore systems
a6aecae2cd8171b8538bfe5d2800bdd157380b85 - nfs: fix lock variable type

we see a lot of "[global.glusterfs - usage-type (null) memusage]" in statedump
because lock status is not all-zeros after init, and the memcmp to check that
a datatype is never allocated is invalid.

Fix:
Changed if a datatype is allocated or not check based on total_allocs. Also
removed setting typestr to NULL on gf_free even when num_allocs is 0. Because
even that is leading to 'null' memusage string to be printed in statedump.

core: use reference counting for mem_acct structures

2015-05-09T13:28:13+00:00

When freeing memory, our memory-accounting code expects to be able to
dereference from the (previously) allocated block to its owning
translator.  However, as we have already found once in option
validation and twice in logging, that translator might itself have
been freed and the dereference attempt causes on of our daemons to
crash with SIGSEGV.  This patch attempts to fix that as follows:

 * We no longer embed a struct mem_acct directly in a struct xlator,
   but instead allocate it separately.

 * Allocated memory blocks now contain a pointer to the mem_acct
   instead of the xlator.

 * The mem_acct structure contains a reference count, manipulated in
   both the normal and translator allocate/free code using atomic
   increments and decrements.

 * Because it's now a separate structure, we can defer freeing the
   mem_acct until its reference count reaches zero (either way).

 * Some unit tests were disabled, because they embedded their own
   copies of the implementation for what they were supposedly testing.
   Life's too short to spend time fixing tests that seem designed to
   impede progress by requiring a certain implementation as well as
   behavior.

mem-pool: invalidate memory on GF_FREE to aid debugging

2015-03-30T12:37:07+00:00

Debugging where memory gets free'd with help from overwriting the memory
before it is free'd with some structures (repeatedly). The struct
mem_invalid starts with a magic value (0xdeadc0de), followed by a
pointer to the xlator, the mem-type. the size of the GF_?ALLOC()
requested area and the baseaddr pointer to what GF_?ALLOC() returned.

With these details, and the 'struct mem_header' that is placed when
calling GF_?ALLOC(), it is possible to identify overruns and possible
use-after-free. A memory dump (core) or running with a debugger is
needed to read the surrounding memory of corrupt structures.

This additional memory invalidation/poisoning needs to be enabled by
passing --enable-debug to ./configure.

testing: Switch to cmocka the successor of cmockery2

2015-03-05T21:51:37+00:00

This uses https://cmocka.org/ as the unit testing framework.

With this change, unit testing is made optional as well. We assume there
is no cmocka available while building. cmocka will be enabled by default
later on. For now, to build with cmocka run:

    $ ./configure --enable-cmocka

This change is based on the work of Andreas (replacing cmockery2 with
cmocka) and Kaleb (make cmockery2 an optional build dependency).

The only modifications I made, are additional #defines in unittest.h for
making sure the unit tests function as expected.

glusterd: statedump support

2014-10-15T10:02:40+00:00

Although glusterd currently has statedump support but it doesn't dump its
context information. Implementing glusterd_dump_priv function to export per-node
glusterd information would be useful for debugging bugs. Once implemented, we
could enhance sos-report to fetch this information. This would potentially
reduce our time to root cause and data needed for debugability can be dumped
gradually.

Following is the main items of the dump list targeted in this patch :

    * Supported max/min op-version and current op-version
    * Information about peer list
    * Information about peer list involved while a transaction is going on
      (xaction_peers)
    * option dictionary in glusterd_conf_t
    * mgmt_v3_lock in glusterd_conf_t
    * List of connected clients
    * uuid of glusterd
    * A section of rpc related information like live connections and their
      statistics

There are couple of issues which were found during implementation and testing
phase:
 - xaction_peers of glusterd_conf_t was not initialized in init because of which
   traversing through this list head was crashing when there was no active
   transaction
 - gf_free was not setting the typestr to NULL if the the alloc count becomes 0
   for a mem-type earlier allocated.

build: Support for unit tests using Cmockery2

2014-07-18T17:55:51+00:00

This patch will allow for developers to create unit tests for
their code.  Documentation has been added to the patch and
is available here:

doc/hacker-guide/en-US/markdown/unittest.md

Also, unit tests are run when RPM is created.

This patch is a replacement for http://review.gluster.org/#/c/7281
which removed unit test infrastucture from the repo due to multiple
conflicts.  Cmockery2 is now available in Fedora and EPEL, and soon
to be available in Debian and Ubuntu.  For all other operating
systems, please install from the source:

https://github.com/lpabon/cmockery2

libglusterfs: Provide a way to disable mempool effects

2014-05-23T06:48:01+00:00

Problems:
 - Mempool comes in the way of debugging mem-leaks/corruptions
   because tools like valgrind can't detect mem-pools.

 - Accessing freed pointers may crash only when the mem-pool
   is completely exhausted.

Solution:
In DEBUG builds set mempool count to 0 irrespective of the
pool size requested. This should help in debugging
memory-leaks/corruptions.
