landing HSM broke a clustered samba support and NFS v4

Technical task LU-3647 Blocker Resolved Not a Bug WC Triage Alexey Lyashkov Sat, 31 Aug 2013 08:41:54 +0000 Wed, 4 Sep 2013 16:19:43 +0000 Wed, 4 Sep 2013 16:19:43 +0000 Lustre 2.5.0 0 6 <p>to reference</p> <div class="preformatted panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="preformattedContent panelContent"> <pre> When a process (the "lease breaker") performs an open(2) or truncate(2) that conflicts with a lease established via F_SETLEASE, the system call is blocked by the kernel and the kernel notifies the lease holder by sending it a signal (SIGIO by default). The lease holder should respond to receipt of this signal by doing whatever cleanup is required in preparation for the file to be accessed by another process (e.g., flushing cached buffers) and then either remove or downgrade its lease. A lease is removed by performing an F_SETLEASE command specifying arg as F_UNLCK. If the lease holder currently holds a write lease on the file, and the lease breaker is opening the file for reading, then it is sufficient for the lease holder to downgrade the lease to a read lease. This is done by performing an F_SETLEASE command specifying arg as F_RDLCK. If the lease holder fails to downgrade or remove the lease within the number of seconds specified in /proc/sys/fs/lease-break-time then the kernel forcibly removes or downgrades the lease holder's lease. </pre> </div></div> <p>I think someone should be read a linux man page more carefully.</p> <p>Right now, lustre release is only for HSM use so it didn't implement Linux lease semantics exactly. The framework is there so it can be easily extended to linux semantic by adding notification mechanism in ll_md_blocking_lease_ast() to send signal to lease holder.</p> <p>However the major difficult is in the lease request side because there is no callback to Lustre in linux kernel, in other words, linux lease is a pure VFS stuff. This implies that it's impossible to use Lustre lease via standard lease interfaces in libc.</p> <p>If you have resources on your side, you can finish the work by composing a kernel patch to add lease callbacks to file system and finish notification interfaces in ll_md_blocking_lease_ast().</p> <p>Per discussion between Oleg and Shadow, this is not actually a bug.</p> Development Rank 1|hzvzsn: Rank (Obsolete) 10041
