<id>303cc2b54797bc5371be742543ccb289010c92f2</id>
<content type='text'>
With this patchset, some major things are changed in XDR, mainly:

* Naming: Instead of gfs3/gfs4 settle for gfx_ for xdr structures
* add iattx as a separate structure, and add conversion methods
* the *_rsp structure is now changed, and is also reduced in number
  (ie, no need for different strucutes if it is similar to other response).
* use proper XDR methods for sending dict on wire.

Also, with the change of xdr structure, there are changes needed
outside of xlator protocol layer to handle these properly. Mainly
because the abstraction was broken to support 0-copy RDMA with payload
for write and read FOP. This made transport layer know about the xdr
payload, hence with the change of xdr payload structure, transport layer
needed to know about the change.

Updates #384

Introduce another authentication header which can now send more data.
This is useful because this data can be common for all the fops, and
we don't need to change all the signatures.

As part of this, made rpc-clnt.c little more modular to support multiple
authentication structures.

stack.h changes are placeholder for the ctime etc, can be moved later
based on need.

The locks xlator now is able to send a contention notification to
the current owner of the lock.

This is only a notification that can be used to improve performance
of some client side operations that might benefit from extended
duration of lock ownership. Nothing is done if the lock owner decides
to ignore the message and to not release the lock. For forced
release of acquired resources, leases must be used.

Current use of a per-client mutex to protect fdctx introduces lock
contentions when there are dozens of file operations active.

Use finer grain spinlock to reduce contention, and put retrieving
fdctx out of lock.

This patch creates a new way of defining message id's that is easier
and less error prone because it doesn't require so many manual changes
each time a new component is defined or a new message created.

<title>glusterfs: Use gcc builtin ATOMIC operator to increase/decreate refcount.</title>

Problem: In glusterfs code base we call mutex_lock/unlock to take
         reference/dereference for a object.Sometime it could be
         reason for lock contention also.

Solution: There is no need to use mutex to increase/decrease ref
          counter, instead of using mutex use gcc builtin ATOMIC
          operation.

Test:   I have not observed yet how much performance gain after apply
        this patch specific to glusterfs but i have tested same
        with below small program(mutex and atomic both) and
        get good difference.

icreate creates inode, while namelink links the basename to it's
parent gfid.

For now mkdir is the primary user of these fops. Better distribution is
acheived by creating the inode on ,(say) mds1 and linking the basename to it's
parent gfid on mds2. The inode serves readdirp, stat etc.

More details about the fops are present at:
https://review.gluster.org/#/c/13395/3/design/DHT2/DHT2_Icreate_Namelink_Notes.md

<title>rpc : Change the way client uuid is built</title>

Problem:
Today the main users of client uuid are protocol layers, locks, leases.
Protocol layers requires each client uuid to be unique, even across
connects and disconnects. Locks and leases on the server side also use
the same client uid which changes across file migrations. Which makes the graph
switch and file migration tedious for locks and leases.

file migration across bricks becomes difficult as client uuid for the same
client, is different on the other brick.

The exact set of issues exists for leases as well.

Solution would be to introduce a constant in the client-uid string which
the locks and leases can use to identify the owner client across bricks.

Client uuid currently:
%s(ctx uuid)-%s(protocol client name)-%d(graph id)%s(setvolume count/reconnect count)

Proposed Client uuid:
"CTX_ID:%s-GRAPH_ID:%d-PID:%d-HOST:%s-PC_NAME:%s-RECON_NO:%s"
-  CTX_ID: This is will be constant per client.
-  GRAPH_ID, PID, HOST, PC_NAME(protocol client name), RECON_NO(setvolume count)
remains the same.

The exact set of issues exists for leases as well.

Solution would be to introduce a constant in the client-uid string which
the locks and leases can use to identify the owner client across bricks.

Client uuid currently:
%s(ctx uuid)-%s(protocol client name)-%d(graph id)%s(setvolume count/reconnect count)

Proposed Client uuid:
"CTX_ID:%s-GRAPH_ID:%d-PID:%d-HOST:%s-PC_NAME:%s-RECON_NO:%s"
-  CTX_ID: This is will be constant per client.
-  GRAPH_ID, PID, HOST, PC_NAME(protocol client name), RECON_NO(setvolume count)
remains the same.
