The scheme used to retreive known nodes on lookup was flawed, as it only
used parent and name. This produced a different cookie for the same file
if it was renamed, when looking up ../ or when dealing with multiple files
associated with the same name through link(2).
We therefore abandon the use of node name and introduce hashed lists of
inodes. This causes a huge rewrite of reclaim code, which do not attempt
to keep parents allocated until all their children are reclaimed
- Fix race conditions in reclaim
There are a few situations where we issue multiple FUSE operations for
a PUFFS operation. On reclaim, we therefore have to wait for all FUSE
operation to complete, not just the current exchanges. We do this by
introducing node reference count with node_ref() and node_rele().
- Detect data loss caused by FAF
VOP_PUTPAGES causes FAF writes where the kernel does not check the
operation result. At least issue a warning on error.
- Enjoy FAF shortcut on setattr
No need to wait for the result if the kernel does not want it. There is
however an exception for setattr that touch the size, we need to wait
for completion because we have other operations queued for after the
resize.
- Fix fchmod() on write-open file
fchmod() on a node open with write privilege will send setattr with both mode and size set. This confuses some FUSE filesystem. Therefore we send two FUSE operations, one for mode, and one for size.
- Remove node TTL handling for netbsd-5 for simplicity sake. The code
still builds on netbsd-5 but does not have the node TTL feature anymore.
It works fine with kernel support on netbsd-6.
attribute and TTL fora newly created node. Instead extend puffs_newinfo
and add puffs_newinfo_setva() and puffs_newinfo_setttl()
- Remove node_mk_common_final in libperfuse. It used to set uid/gid for
a newly created vnode but has been made redundant along time ago since
uid and gid are properly set in FUSE header.
- In libperfuse, check for corner case where opc = 0 on INACTIVE and RECLAIM (how is it possible? Check for it to avoid a crash anyway)
- In libperfuse, make sure we unlimit RLIMIT_AS and RLIMIT_DATA so that
we do notrun out of memory because the kernel is lazy at reclaiming vnodes.
- In libperfuse, cleanup style of perfuse_destroy_pn()
many times it looked up. All reclaims but the last one must be ignored,
otherwise we discard a node which will still get operations. We therefore
have to keep track of lookup/reclaim count and hnour reclaims only when
the count reaches zero.
numbers. fileno must be used when exchanging FUSE messages.
- Do not use kernel name cache anymore, as it caused modification from
other machines to be invisible.
- Honour name and attribute cache directive from FUSE filesystem
Verification is now done in the lookup method, as it is the way to
go. Of course there are corner cases, such as the sticky bit which
need special handling in the remove method.
- Set full fsidx in vftstat method
- Do not pass O_APPEND to the filesystem. FUSE always sends the
write offset, so setting O_APPEND is useless. If the filesystem
uses it in an open(2) system call, it will even cause file
corruptions, since offsets given to pwrite(2) will be ignored.
This fix allows glusterfs to host a NetBSD ./build.sh -o build
- Do not use the FUSE access method, use getattr and check for
permission on our own. The problem is that a FUSE filesystem will
typically use the Linux-specific setfsuid() to perform access
control. If that is missing, any chack is likely to occur on
behalf of the user running the filesystem (typically root), causing
access method to return wrong information.
- When possible, avoid performing a getattr method call and use
cached value in puffs_node instead. We still retreive the latest
value by calling getattr when performing append write operation,
to minimize the chances that another writer appended since the
last time we did.
- Update puffs_node cached file size in write method
- Remove unused argument to perfuse_destroy_pn()
- Keep track of file name to avoid lookups when we can. This makes sure we
do not have two cookies for the same inode, a situation that cause wreak
havoc when we come to remove or rename a node.
- Do not use PUFFS_FLAG_BUILDPATH at all, since we now track file names
- In open, queue requests after checking for access, as there is no merit
to queue a will-be-denied request while we can deny it immediatly
- request reclaim of removed nodes at inactive stage
- Restore open on our own in fsycn and readdir, as the node may not already
be open, and FUSE really wants it to be. No need to close immediatly, it
can be done at inactive time.
= Write operations =
- fix a nasty bug that corrupted files on write (written added twice)
- Keep track of file size in order to honour PUFFS_IO_APPEND
= many fixes in rename =
- handler overwritten nodes correctly
- wait for all operations on the node to drain before doing rename, as
filesystems may not cope with operations on a moving file.
- setback PUFFS_SETBACK_INACT_N1 cannot be used from rename, we therefore
miss the inactive time for an overwritten node. This bounds us to give up
PUFFS_KFLAG_IAONDEMAND.
= Removed files =
- forbid most operations on a removed node, return ENOENT
- setback PUFFS_SETBACK_NOREF_N1 at inactive stage to cause removed
file reclaim
= Misc =
- Update outdated ARGSUSED for lint
- Fix a memory leak (puffs_pn_remove instead of puffs_pn_put)
- Do not use PUFFS_FLAG_BUILDPATH except for debug output. It makes the
lookup code much simplier.
- use PUFFS_KFLAG_WTCACHE to puffs_init so that all writes are
immediatly send to the filesystem, and we do not have anymore write
after inactive. As a consequence, we can close files at inactive
stage, and there is not any concern left with files opened at
create time. We also do not have anymore to open ourselves in readdir and
fsync.
- Fsync on close (inactive stage). That makes sure we will not need to
do these operations once the file is closed (FUSE want an open file).
short sircuit the request that come after the close, bu not fsinc'ing
closed files,
- Use PUFFS_KFLAG_IAONDEMAND to get less inactive calls
== Removed nodes ==
- more ENOENT retunred for operations on removed node (but there
are probably some still missing): getattr, ooen, setattr, fsync
- set PND_REMOVE before sending the UNLINK/RMDIR operations so that we avoid
races during UNLINK completion. Also set PND_REMOVED on node we overwirte
in rename
== Filehandle fixes ==
- queue open operation to avoid getting two fh for one file
- set FH in getattr, if the file is open
- Just requires a read FH for fsyncdir, as we always opendir in read
mode. Ok, this is misleading :-)
== Misc ==
- do not set FUSE_FATTR_ATIME_NOW in setattr, as we provide the time
- short circuit nilpotent operations in setattr
- add a filename diagnostic flag to dump file names
SOCK_DGRAM, we can send many pages at once without hitting any bug
- when creating a file, it is open for FUSE, but not for the kernel.
If the kernel does not do a subsequent open, we have a leak. We fight
against this by trying to close such file that the kernel left unopen
for some time.
- some code refactoring to make message exchange debug easier (more to come)
setattr(mtime, ctime) after close, while FUSE expects the file
to be open for these operations
- remove unused argument to node_mk_common()
- remove requeued requests when they are executed, not when they
are tagged for schedule
- try to make filehandle management simplier, by keeping track of only
one read and one write filehandle (the latter being really read/write).
- when CREATE is not available, we use the MKNOD/OPEN path. Fix a
bug here where we opened the parent directory instead of the node:
add the missing lookup of the mknod'ed node.
- lookup file we just created: glusterfs does not really see them
otherwise.
- open file when doing setattr(mtime, ctime) on non open files, as
some filesystems seems to require it.
- Do not flush pagecache for removed nodes
- Keep track of read/write operations in progress, and at reclaim
time, make sure they are over before closing and forgeting the file.
- Automatically call fsync on close for files. If we just close, fsync
will come later and we will have to reopen
- Add a PND_DIRTY flag to keep track of files that really need a sync.
perfuse_node_fsync only calls the FUSE fsync method if there are data
to push.
- Add a PND_OPEN flag to keep track of open files. Checking non NULL
fh is not enough, as some filesystems will always set fh to 0.
- Add a sync diagnostic flag, to watch fsync and dirty flag activity.
Make the fh diagnostic flag more verbose
- Send the fh in setattr (it was hardcoded to 0)
I am now able to build libperfuse in a glusterfs mounted filesystem. Yeah!
FUSE filesystem must be patched to #include <perfuse.h> in the source
files that open /dev/fuse and perform the mount(2) system call. The
FUSE filesystem must be linked with -lperfuse.
libperfuse(3) implements the FUSE kernel interface, on which libfuse or
any FUSE filesystem that opens /dev/fuse directly can be used.
For now, an external daemon called perfused(8) is used. This may change
in the future.
