The glfs_callback_arg and glfs_callback_inode_arg were allocated by
gfapi, and expected to be free()'d by the application. However it is not
reasonable to expect that applications use the same memory allocator to
as the compiled libgfapi.so. For instance, it is possible that gfapi
uses glibc malloc/free, and an application like NFS-Ganesha the versions
from jemalloc. Mismatching of the malloc() and free() functions causes
segmentation faults at best.
In order to prevent problems like this in the future, the API for
applications that consume upcalls has been remodeled. Any of the
structures that gfapi allocates, should be free'd with glfs_free(). The
members of the structures can not be accessed directly anymore, each
has its own function to access now.
Correcting the naming of the functions, structures and constants is a
continuation of commit 2775dc64101ed37c8d9809bf9852dbf0746ee2b6. These
new improvements not only have correct prefixes for the functions and
structures, the naming also reflects more to the upcall framework and
does not use "callback" anymore.
