| 187 | | pvfs2-1.5.0 |
| 188 | | =============== |
| 189 | | - trove dbpf keyval changes: The dbpf keyval implementation has been |
| 190 | | changed from using individual DB objects for each handle, to one |
| 191 | | DB object for all keyval entries. This affects the storage format, |
| 192 | | and requires the pvfs2-migrate-collection tool to be run on storage |
| 193 | | spaces created previous to this release. |
| 194 | | - sync coalescing: A new syncing feature has been added to the trove layer that |
| 195 | | provides better performance with metadata in high-load cases. New options |
| 196 | | were added to the server config: TroveSyncCoalesce, CoalescingHighWatermark, |
| 197 | | CoalescingLowWatermark. |
| 198 | | - added stranded bstream checking and handling. This is useful for correctly |
| 199 | | reusing handles in failure cases. |

| 217 | | - better support for darwin (OS X) |
| 218 | | - added configure options: --disable-aio-callbacks, No check for aio callback |
| 219 | | support is done any longer. --enable-kernel-sendfile to configure for users |
| 220 | | that want sendfile system call support, it is now disabled by default. |
| 221 | | Epoll is now the default if its available, otherwise poll is used, |
| 222 | | --enable-epoll and --disable-epoll now force without checking. |
| 223 | | - Performance improvements for bmi_tcp: allow socket buffer size and tcp |
| 224 | | window size to be changed dynamically. Use a pipe file descriptor |
| 225 | | for poll to prevent stalls. Reorganize epoll to add and remove epoll |
| 226 | | watches. |
| 227 | | - pvfs2-genconfig now supports --iospec and --metaspec options. Also fixed |
| 228 | | some hostname sorting and range spec bugs. |
| 229 | | - pvfs2-client: added --logstamp. nonblocking statfs and mount support. |
| 230 | | - handle allocation wasn't resulting in a uniform distribution. Now we |
| 231 | | pick a server at random and then select the remaining handles in a |
| 232 | | round-robin fashion |
| 233 | | - pvfs2-ping does better per-server error reporting and keeps track of errors |
| 234 | | better |
| 235 | | - pvfs2-viewdist now fails gracefully on old systems without xattrs. Also |
| 236 | | prints out handle number and filename for each datafile |

| 440 | | - used some 2.6.x kernel code on redhat 9 2.4.x kernels, if detected |
| 441 | | - no longer mark pages as reserved on redhat 9 2.4.x kernels, as it |
| 442 | | causes an oops on their kernel (i.e. not necessary) |
| 443 | | - installed a wrapper script in place of the pvfs2-server that |
| 444 | | exports the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL environment variable before running |
| 445 | | the server(to avoid using the redhat NPTL library which is |
| 446 | | incompatible) |
| 447 | | - fixed make kmod{24}_install even if there are multiple UTS_RELEASE |
| 448 | | definitions in the version.h file (as there are in redhat 9) |
| 449 | | |
| 450 | | |
| 451 | | pvfs2-0.9.0 |
| 452 | | =========== |
| 453 | | - documentation updates to HA and FAQ documents |
| 454 | | - better balancing (randomization) of data server selection when |
| 455 | | creating new files |
| 456 | | - clean up a few request-related 8-byte alignment issues for alpha |
| 457 | | - fixed an AMD64 kernel oops due to a bad cast |
| 458 | | - cleaned up error code types in the exposed sysint and mgmt methods |
| 459 | | (using PVFS_error rather than int) |
| 460 | | - added a setattr debugging mask and changed most detailed setattr |
| 461 | | debugging to use it |
| 462 | | - added a mkdir debugging mask and changed most detailed mkdir |
| 463 | | debugging to use it |
| 464 | | - added some inlined methods in PVFS_util (as they need to be used on |
| 465 | | both the server and the client) for getting the current time in |
| 466 | | PVFS_time format, encoding a PVFS_time as a version (finer grained |
| 467 | | than a 'normal' PVFS_time since we can use the high 32 bits), and |
| 468 | | decoding the version as a PVFS_time |
| 469 | | - added a compatibility hack that _should_ allow no noticeable |
| 470 | | breakage on existing storage space, but will eventually migrate to |
| 471 | | the slightly new storage format over time |
| 472 | | - modified client side sys-mkdir, sys-create, and sys-symlink to |
| 473 | | encode the mtime as a version when passing it to the server (so it's |
| 474 | | transparent from the server perspective) |
| 475 | | - modified server side get-attr to decode the version read from disk |
| 476 | | back into an mtime (so it's transparent from the client perspective) |
| 477 | | - modified mkspace method to properly version newly created root and |
| 478 | | lost+found directories |
| 479 | | - modified the server side mkdir operation to return -PVFS_EINVAL if |
| 480 | | the object attr type is not a directory object |
| 481 | | - vfs readdir modifications to detect directory version changes on |
| 482 | | listings; default behaviour is unchanged |
| 483 | | - fixed bug in collection remove that didn't remove the collection |
| 484 | | information from the collection db (which manifested as having a bug |
| 485 | | where a collection that was once created and then removed could |
| 486 | | never be created again due to a lookup succeeding before it should) |
| 487 | | - added documentation on how to create multiple file systems within a |
| 488 | | single pvfs2 storage space |
| 489 | | - added documentation on return codes of the sysint methods |
| 490 | | - pvfs2-mkspace improvements: |
| 491 | | - now requires a collection ID, storage space and a handle range |
| 492 | | - fixed types used to represent actual root handle and collection id |
| 493 | | to be the proper types, rather than integers |
| 494 | | - remove many defaults in favor of requiring cmdline options |
| 495 | | - replace atoi calls with strtou{l}l to accomodate larger values if |
| 496 | | specified |
| 497 | | - cosmetic output improvements |
| 498 | | - fixed mkspace method to make sure that we only use handle ranges |
| 499 | | that are both non-null, AND are not an empty string |
| 500 | | |
| 501 | | |
| 502 | | pvfs2-0.8.0 |
| 503 | | =========== |
| 504 | | - adjusted mask values for event logging to skip 0 mask |
| 505 | | - moved handle counting in statfs to server side so that it is |
| 506 | | done in parallel |
| 507 | | - replaced uniq() subroutine in PAV to avoid recursion |
| 508 | | - pvfs2-statfs cleanups and cast fixing |
| 509 | | - pvfs2-shell-test: replaced a directory test |
| 510 | | - add a clientcore_timing debug mask that only logs the operation |
| 511 | | timings from the pvfs2-client-core |
| 512 | | - added some pts debugging |
| 513 | | - fixed bad assumption in getattr-acache that might have looked at the |
| 514 | | wrong handle/fs_id during some operations (e.g. lookup) |
| 515 | | - removed potential latency on system startup by trying to store temp |
| 516 | | config files in /tmp/ first rather than the current dir |
| 517 | | - make sure that our error routines strip any known class error bits |
| 518 | | instead of deciding that they're unrecognized if set |
| 519 | | - improved trove error handling |
| 520 | | - improved pvfs2-server error handling |
| 521 | | - fixed crash bug in our config parser that tried to strdup strings |
| 522 | | that might be NULL |
| 523 | | - pvfs2-types.h header file simplification and cleanups |
| 524 | | - extended buffer size of filename for use with mkstemp as it started |
| 525 | | failing on ppc with misc unexpected characters |
| 526 | | - addition of a simple vfs test program that creates a file with a |
| 527 | | hole in it and tries to read from that hole (this demonstrates a |
| 528 | | currently known bug) |
| 529 | | - addition of the same test program using only the system interface |
| 530 | | - fixed some misc memory/resource leaks |
| 531 | | - fixed test program ls.c and admin program pvfs2-ls.c to not issue an |
| 532 | | extra call to readdir on every run by fixing a slight logic bug |
| 533 | | - added a directory version that is passed back from the server to the |
| 534 | | client on each successful readdir call and updated the client and |
| 535 | | server response structures and encoder to accomodate this |
| 536 | | - ncache related: |
| 537 | | - increased ncache timeout from 5 seconds to 30 seconds by default, |
| 538 | | but keep it disabled by default (it's still experimental) |
| 539 | | - cleaned up the ncache and make it useable by the |
| 540 | | lookup/remove/create/mkdir/etc calls (if enabled) |
| 541 | | - added a flag to the client sysint lookup sm that records if the |
| 542 | | final object resolved was a followed symlink or not (regardless of |
| 543 | | if it was followed or not) |
| 544 | | - extended the ncache interface (lookup/insert/remove) to have the |
| 545 | | ability to have multiple entries with the same name with different |
| 546 | | handles based on some other tag (e.g. resolving a symlink object, |
| 547 | | rather than what it points to). this is also not in use at the |
| 548 | | moment. for now, no symlink objects will be inserted into the |
| 549 | | ncache. |
| 550 | | - added more ncache debugging |
| 551 | | - added a fastpath return from client sysint lookup method on ncache |
| 552 | | hit |
| 553 | | - updated and extended all ncache test programs to work with the |
| 554 | | changed API and fixed broken tests/verified that they still work |
| 555 | | - kernel related: |
| 556 | | - fixed all warnings generated from compiling the pvfs2 kernel |
| 557 | | module under 2.6.9 kernels |
| 558 | | - removed write_inode method, as it was unused and probably won't be |
| 559 | | used |
| 560 | | - removed unused -v command option to pvfs2-ls |
| 561 | | - added command option -V (and --verbose) which can detect version |
| 562 | | differences in the directory being read and will report them if |
| 563 | | this switch is enabled |
| 564 | | - fixed misc compilation warnings on Opteron/AMD64 machines |
| 565 | | - added directory version to readdir downcall (passed from |
| 566 | | pvfs2-client-core) |
| 567 | | - removed include of modversions.h directly from pvfs2-kernel.h |
| 568 | | |
| 569 | | |
| 570 | | pvfs2-0.7.0 |
| 571 | | =========== |
| 572 | | - fsck: server handles bogus datafiles better |
| 573 | | - fsck: pvfs2-fsck is a little smarter about what it tries to salvage |
| 574 | | - ib: avoid unsignaled WQE pileup |
| 575 | | - ib: avoid polling cancelled connections (first stab toward true |
| 576 | | cancel) |
| 577 | | - ib: spin-block in test functions for better performance |
| 578 | | - ib: do not "open" HCA, just grab a handle |
| 579 | | - ib: fix leaking connection structs (thanks to D. Beilloin) |
| 580 | | - ib: use faster 1k mtu |
| 581 | | - ib: cleanup warning texts |
| 582 | | - configure: add option to disable AIO threaded callbacks |
| 583 | | - configure: fix GM and IB to enable only when explicitly requested |
| 584 | | - add timestamps to gossip debugging to file and stderr (not syslog) |
| 585 | | - ib: initial cancel support, works for pvfs2-ls |
| 586 | | - add multihome support: servers can listen on multiple addresses (and |
| 587 | | BMI types), clients choose the first address from tabfile that works |
| 588 | | - bmi: poll adaptively based on recent usage |
| 589 | | - added trove-dbpf support for internally limiting the number of |
| 590 | | simultaneous aio operations allowed in progress; default value is 16 |
| 591 | | - increased mmap-ra-small buf size from 4K to 16K to avoid many small |
| 592 | | allocations (causes slightly larger mem footprint of client-core) |
| 593 | | - adjusted client sysint setattr operation to work in a write-through |
| 594 | | manner with the acache (when enabled) |
| 595 | | - fixed client sysint setattr to invalidate the acache entry (if any) |
| 596 | | - changed acache lookup to return the status (to avoid another acache |
| 597 | | call that will always follow a successful lookup) |
| 598 | | - internal acache improvements, such as removal of duplicated code |
| 599 | | - updated acache-torture test program to match slightly new acache |
| 600 | | interface |
| 601 | | - make sure mmap's requesting MAP_SHARED fail (mmap2 returns -EINVAL, |
| 602 | | userspace mmap returns standard MMAP_FAILED value) |
| 603 | | - added compile time support for measuring roughly how long it takes |
| 604 | | to process particular operations issued from the vfs |
| 605 | | - modified PINT_sys_testsome to return immediately without calling |
| 606 | | testcontext if any ops are completed and ready to be returned right |
| 607 | | away |
| 608 | | - made statfs return load information from servers |
| 609 | | - gm: fixed performance bug, make sure test calls check completion |
| 610 | | queue before sleeping |
| 611 | | - gm: implement cancel functionality and verified for common cases |
| 612 | | - fixed dbpf SYNC macro bugs that caused hangs on systems without aio |
| 613 | | callback support |
| 614 | | - updated pvfs2-config tool to use LIBS variable from configure |
| 615 | | - removed -ldb from client side link stage |
| 616 | | - added --serverlibs option to pvfs2-config to determine what |
| 617 | | libraries have been linked against pvfs2-server |
| 618 | | - updated makefile system for tests directory to use pvfs2-config and |
| 619 | | deprecate use of .libs file |
| 620 | | - added make install target for test harness programs |
| 621 | | - introduced mutex locking in trove-handle-mgmt to avoid race |
| 622 | | conditions that appear when statfs is called while trove operations |
| 623 | | are in progress |
| 624 | | - added utility functions for measuring elapsed wall, system, and user |
| 625 | | time between specified points in code |
| 626 | | - fix glaring alignment failure in PVFS_server_req |
| 627 | | - fixed type of readahead_size in upcall for mmap-ra-cache that caused |
| 628 | | the mmap-ra-cache to not work properly on PowerPC |
| 629 | | - no longer look in the mmap-ra-cache for data on reads unless we're |
| 630 | | sure we're doing an mmap or execution (as opposed to always) |
| 631 | | - removed kernel module pvfs2_link call, as it was never used |
| 632 | | - moved static copy_mntent method to PVFS_util_copy_mntent method |
| 633 | | - added error handling to PVFS_util_copy_mntent |
| 634 | | - renamed PVFS_sys_free_mntent to PVFS_util_free_mntent |
| 635 | | - fixed successful return value of PVFS_util_copy_sys_attr |
| 636 | | - fixed initialize-dyn test program that broken due to mntent changes |
| 637 | | - changed get_data_sync_mode to explicitly return TROVE_SYNC if called |
| 638 | | on an unregistered fs_id |
| 639 | | |
| 640 | | |
| 641 | | pvfs2-0.6.5 |
| 642 | | =========== |
| 643 | | - broke several server state machines into multiple nested machines |
| 644 | | - some PAV cleanups, including support for a larger number of meta |
| 645 | | servers than io servers |
| 646 | | - update k_size (number of keyvals) in dspace attr cache when the |
| 647 | | number of keyvals on disk changes |
| 648 | | - replaced all vfs 64 bit operation tags to be unsigned |
| 649 | | - replaced pint-dev code to work with 64 bit unsigned tags |
| 650 | | - moved all op initialization out of the constructor and into the |
| 651 | | op_alloc routine |
| 652 | | - fixed tag cancellation upcall/method to use a 64 bit tag, rather |
| 653 | | than an unsigned long |
| 654 | | - added a PVFS_util method to get the current system and return it as |
| 655 | | a valid PVFS_time type |
| 656 | | - added arguments to the crdirent/chdirent/rmdirent operations that |
| 657 | | now can take optional parent atime/mtime/ctime fields |
| 658 | | - added support on server *dirent operations that update the parent |
| 659 | | time attributes (if specified) on successful completion of the |
| 660 | | *dirent operation; null/zero time fields are not modified |
| 661 | | - modified sys-create/sys-mkdir/sys-symlink/sys-rename/sys-remove to |
| 662 | | work with the new operations properly; in general, |
| 663 | | create/remove/rename operations updates the mtime and ctime of the |
| 664 | | parent directory, which is now properly supported |
| 665 | | - moved some common server side attribute handling code into a macro |
| 666 | | to make it re-useable across several server state machines |
| 667 | | - updated en{de}coding of modified operations |
| 668 | | - remove sync calls on readonly trove operations |
| 669 | | - added sanity check to kernel's device poll; makes sure the device is |
| 670 | | opened by only one user before returning valid results |
| 671 | | - make the device's request list waitqueue non-exclusive, since poll |
| 672 | | waits as well |
| 673 | | - some formatting changes on kernel error reporting |
| 674 | | - added mmap-ra-cache support for partial cache fills on incomplete |
| 675 | | requests; misc mmap-ra-cache enhancements |
| 676 | | - cast setparam values to uint64_t rather than int64_t in admin utils |
| 677 | | - remove trove sync call on server side root handle check |
| 678 | | - modify server side remove state machine to check the k_size of the |
| 679 | | dirdata object being removed if it's a directory to report early |
| 680 | | back to the client that the directory is not empty (if it's not) |
| 681 | | - remove the readdir checks in the client remove path now that the |
| 682 | | server-side remove can tell us directly if a directory is not empty |
| 683 | | - modified PVFS specific error routines to print the value of |
| 684 | | unrecognized error codes if encountered |
| 685 | | - fixed memory leak on check_fs_id setparam |
| 686 | | - fixed 64bit compile warnings (AMD64/Opteron) |
| 687 | | - split msgpair debugging into it's own class (no longer part of |
| 688 | | 'client') |
| 689 | | - break out clientcore debugging into its own debugging mask |
| 690 | | - fixed trove error codes |
| 691 | | - give trove flush and resize operations the ability to create the |
| 692 | | bstream they're working with if it doesn't exist instead of |
| 693 | | returning an error |
| 694 | | - fixed bug in (threaded) trove that did not properly reinitialize |
| 695 | | condition variables after the first finalize |
| 696 | | - improvements to the storage space and collection removal code |
| 697 | | - extensive trove cleanups and cruft removal |
| 698 | | - check for error codes when doing server side getattr and reading |
| 699 | | metafile information; stop processing if an error is reached |
| 700 | | - invalidate attr cache on write_at calls (never used) |
| 701 | | - changed pvfs2-showcoll coll_id prints from hex to decimal |
| 702 | | - kernel changes: |
| 703 | | - enable kernel readahead hints on mmap/execution (i.e. sequential) |
| 704 | | - initialize kernel module's request_list_waitq at declaration time |
| 705 | | - put large print statement into a macro for convenience |
| 706 | | - make all bufmap allocations GFP_KERNEL, regardless of highmem usage |
| 707 | | - use add_waitqueue_exclusive for the io_completion_waitq entries |
| 708 | | - clear random readahead hint on mmap |
| 709 | | |
| 710 | | |
| 711 | | pvfs2-0.6.4 |
| 712 | | =========== |
| 713 | | - added a pvfs2-config tool to help when compiling against pvfs2 |
| 714 | | - new PAV option (COMPUTENODES_LAST) that controls whether compute |
| 715 | | nodes are chosen first or last out of the total set of nodes |
| 716 | | available |
| 717 | | - fix locking bug introduced in 0.6.3 that shows up when trove is used |
| 718 | | without aio callbacks |
| 719 | | - explicitly name invalid msg tag value (0) |
| 720 | | - modified pvfs2-ls to show the mtime (rather than atime) in long |
| 721 | | listings |
| 722 | | - updated set-info test program to update mtime (rather than atime) |
| 723 | | - fixed possible flow mutex memory leak |
| 724 | | - changed PVFS_time from an int64_t to a uint64_t |
| 725 | | - fixed a pvfs2-fsck compile time warning |
| 726 | | - fixed bug in sys-remove that erroneously tried to back out of the |
| 727 | | remove even on error codes that are acceptable to return |
| 728 | | - moved to fully 64 bit unsigned gossip masks (for some more possible |
| 729 | | debugging levels) |
| 730 | | - fixed bug in shared-state-machine getattr method that could allow |
| 731 | | attributes to come out of the acache with incorrect types/fields |
| 732 | | - fixed bug in crdirent msgpair setups for create/mkdir/symlink (used |
| 733 | | incorrect handles in mappings) |
| 734 | | - modified mgmt setparam call to take uint64_t parameters instead of |
| 735 | | int64_t |
| 736 | | - kernel changes: |
| 737 | | - fixed bug that allowed a file removed on one client to still |
| 738 | | appear on another with bad attributes |
| 739 | | - fixed dentry revalidation to never return that a dentry is valid |
| 740 | | if's negative |
| 741 | | - fixed directory inode's mtime and ctime changes on updates |
| 742 | | - fixed directory link counts for some changes |
| 743 | | - simplify atime/mtime/ctime conversion to sys_attr (and vice versa) |
| 744 | | to and from inode's time fields |
| 745 | | |
| 746 | | |
| 747 | | pvfs2-0.6.3 |
| 748 | | =========== |
| 749 | | - added ability to negate log categories in |
| 750 | | PVFS_debug_eventlog_to_mask |
| 751 | | - added pvfs2-fsck |
| 752 | | - updated pvfs2-quickstart to better discuss client configuration |
| 753 | | - added optional epoll() based socket management component (enable |
| 754 | | with configure option --enable-epoll on linux 2.6 systems) |
| 755 | | - fixed configure bug that dropped default CFLAGS in some cases |
| 756 | | - adjusted trove id generation to make it easier to log trove events |
| 757 | | - fixed Makefile.in bug that caused pvfs2-server.c dependency |
| 758 | | information to be lost |
| 759 | | - rewrote both threaded and nonthreaded versions of all job_testXXX() |
| 760 | | functions |
| 761 | | - fixed condition variable usage to avoid signaling races that could |
| 762 | | lead to unecessary wait times |
| 763 | | - simplified code path |
| 764 | | - removed superfluous calls to gettimeofday() |
| 765 | | - adjustment of condition variable usage in trove-dbpf to avoid races |
| 766 | | similar to those found in job_testXXX() |
| 767 | | - applied vim formatting patch to use spaces instead of tabs |
| 768 | | - fixed pvfs2-server permission check to allow users of the same group |
| 769 | | to have access to other group members attributes (for listing) |
| 770 | | - fixed incorrect/invalid error codes and error handling |
| 771 | | - fixed pvfs2-server crash bug due to io state machine potentially |
| 772 | | freeing a reqsched id that was never posted |
| 773 | | - added mgmt methods PVFS_{i}mgmt_get_dirdata_handle for retrieving |
| 774 | | the internal dirdata handle of a specified 'parent' object (if any) |
| 775 | | - fixed pvfs2-server crash bug (race) in trove that could return an |
| 776 | | object on queue addition that has already been serviced |
| 777 | | - extended server side mkdir state machine to create the internal |
| 778 | | dirdata dspace when creating the directory (rather than waiting for |
| 779 | | crdirent to create it if it doesn't already exist) |
| 780 | | - added mgmt methods PVFS_{i}mgmt_create_dirent mgmt for creating |
| 781 | | directory entries at a low level |
| 782 | | - fixed request scheduler's acceptance of the mgmt-remove-* operations |
| 783 | | while in admin mode (since these can be used in admin mode) |
| 784 | | - extended mkspace (and thus pvfs2-mkspace program) to initalize a |
| 785 | | lost+found directory after the root directory is made |
| 786 | | - kernel changes: |
| 787 | | - fixed credential usage bug that resulted in (seemingly random) |
| 788 | | permission problems when using the file system as multiple users |
| 789 | | - fixed a bug that appeared as data corruption due to mapped memory |
| 790 | | pages in use being swapped out under heavy memory load under 2.4.x |
| 791 | | kernels (and containing incorrect data on future accesses) |
| 792 | | - remove slab poison flag from debug allocators, as some kernels |
| 793 | | complain about how it was used |
| 794 | | - do not use kmap/kunmap calls if not configured for HIGHMEM, as |
| 795 | | some configurations cannot resolve these symbols |
| 796 | | |
| 797 | | |
| 798 | | pvfs2-0.6.2 |
| 799 | | =========== |
| 800 | | - updated documentation for dist-simple-stripe.c and modified |
| 801 | | the basic distribution to use a single data file object. |
| 802 | | - fixed error reporting in pvfs2-server that didn't understand pvfs2 |
| 803 | | specific error codes |
| 804 | | - extended request scheduler to allow operations to pass through |
| 805 | | without being scheduled (and allow the noop operations to work like |
| 806 | | this) |
| 807 | | - disabled the (unused) device interface on server builds, reducing |
| 808 | | server run-time threads by one |
| 809 | | - bmi optimizations: avoid polling in test calls if operations are |
| 810 | | complete, or no operations are complete but there are unexpected |
| 811 | | operations ready to be serviced |
| 812 | | - extended the pvfs2-mkspace tool to be able to work with data and |
| 813 | | meta handle ranges separately (also extended the internal interfaces |
| 814 | | as necessary for this functionality) |
| 815 | | - fixed bug in mkspace that could create the root directory dirent |
| 816 | | object in a non-meta handle range |
| 817 | | - added client side attribute type checking that avoids contacting |
| 818 | | servers if we've determined that the operation we're about to |
| 819 | | perform cannot be performed on an object of the type we were told to |
| 820 | | work on. e.g., a readdir operation will not be issued to the server |
| 821 | | if the getattr reports that the object we want to readdir on is not |
| 822 | | a directory. most sysint operations now have this checking in place |
| 823 | | - fixed crash bug on the server crdirent operation if passed a |
| 824 | | non-directory object type |
| 825 | | - fixed race condition triggered when pvfs2-server is getting many |
| 826 | | more incoming operations than it has posted unexpected msgs for |
| 827 | | - increase the default number of posted unexpected msgs by the server |
| 828 | | - properly re-integrate and simplify the usage of the mmap-ra-cache, |
| 829 | | which wasn't working properly after the pvfs2-client-core re-write |
| 830 | | - fixed crash bug on the server due to an unexpected error code coming |
| 831 | | out of pthread_cond_timedwait inside of job test calls |
| 832 | | - modify configure script to append date and time information to non |
| 833 | | release builds (for more fine grained version information if needed) |
| 834 | | - fixed acache usage in sysint create/mkdir/symlink operations |
| 835 | | - open-cache remove now syncs (if necessary) after the remove, rather |
| 836 | | than just before |
| 837 | | - removed duplicate 'open_cache' debugging keyword definition |
| 838 | | - allowed client side logging (via PVFS2_DEBUGMASK/PVFS2_DEBUGFILE env |
| 839 | | variables) to append to the specified logfile, rather than |
| 840 | | truncating it if it already exists |
| 841 | | - fixed bug in device test method that didn't properly adjust the |
| 842 | | outcount on failure; also added the number of bytes read on a failed |
| 843 | | (short) read |
| 844 | | - started adding debugging code for printing out server side response |
| 845 | | structures (only getattr is currently implemented) |
| 846 | | - kernel changes: added some debugging and simplified the |
| 847 | | handle_io_error macro. also added translation of non-errno pvfs2 |
| 848 | | error codes (should it get one) to avoid returning entirely |
| 849 | | incorrect error codes in some cases; avoid allowing -PVFS_ECANCEL to |
| 850 | | be passed down to the kernel code from the pvfs2-client-core. use |
| 851 | | i_size_read to update file position on opens for append. remove old |
| 852 | | code that manually updated the inode's file size on writes |
| 853 | | - replaced debugging mask of cancelled i/o operations from io to |
| 854 | | cancel |
| 855 | | - simplified pvfs2-statfs by retrieving all server statistics in one |
| 856 | | call, rather than separate ones for meta and data servers; also |
| 857 | | fixed reporting of server duties (previously all servers were |
| 858 | | reported as serving both meta and i/o data) |
| 859 | | - added a start banner to pvfs2-client-core if client debugging is |
| 860 | | enabled. this allows easier visual inspection of restarts in logs |
| 861 | | - fixed bug when copying credentials to first make sure that they're |
| 862 | | valid in all sysint/mgmt calls |
| 863 | | - added both server and client side (mgmt) operations to remove |
| 864 | | arbitrary pvfs2 objects and directory entries without prejudice |
| 865 | | - added a 'pvfs2-remove-object' tool that can remove pvfs2 objects and |
| 866 | | directory entries (use is not generally encouraged) |
| 867 | | - fixed pvfs2-fs-dump crash bugs when it fails to find some objects it |
| 868 | | was expecting to see |
| 869 | | - adjusted the time that pav allows for copying binaries out to remote |
| 870 | | machines |
| 871 | | - fixed bug bmi_tcp potential send deadlock under heavy loads |
| 872 | | - added a mgmt method that allows parameter sets on single servers |
| 873 | | (rather than the previous one that allowed only all servers) |
| 874 | | - extended pvfs2-set-debugmask program to have the ability to set the |
| 875 | | debug mask on a single server (rather than all) via cmdline options |
| 876 | | - replaced TroveSyncMode configuration option with separate |
| 877 | | TroveSyncMeta and TroveSyncData options. the default values are yes |
| 878 | | for both |
| 879 | | - updated pvfs2-genconfig to reflect TroveSync* config option changes |
| 880 | | - implemented understanding of the data sync mode option in the flow |
| 881 | | interface via the setinfo method |
| 882 | | - modified pvfs2-server to pass data sync mode option to the flow |
| 883 | | implementation via setinfo on a per fs basis |
| 884 | | |
| 885 | | |
| 886 | | pvfs2-0.6.1 |
| 887 | | =========== |
| 888 | | - misc. updates to msgpairarray and associated tools to allow for |
| 889 | | server side use |
| 890 | | - reorganization of server request parameters so that more (but not |
| 891 | | all yet) are stored in a centralized table |
| 892 | | - removed some deprecated test programs |
| 893 | | - new pint-util.[ch] to contain utility functions shared between |
| 894 | | client and server |
| 895 | | - some refactoring of server state machines (mainly crdirent) to allow |
| 896 | | for code reuse in other state machines |
| 897 | | - no longer need to fix up generated html by hand |
| 898 | | - fixed a bug that allowed an open through the vfs without the O_CREAT |
| 899 | | and O_EXCL flags to return -EEXIST (should be success in that case) |
| 900 | | - added a file_open.c test program that tests opens in various modes |
| 901 | | - error code cleanups (added PVFS_EACCES mapping to EACCES; moved |
| 902 | | PVFS_EDETAIL to be a non-errno error code) |
| 903 | | - fixed pvfs2-ls to properly convert reported file times in user's |
| 904 | | configured system localtime, rather than in UTC |
| 905 | | - fixed the kernel module information so that modinfo doesn't report |
| 906 | | many duplicate entries |
| 907 | | - fixed server pidfile usage (-p cmdline option) |
| 908 | | - fixed msgpair retries to properly delay between retry attempts |
| 909 | | - added trove hooks to be able to peek at handles that will be |
| 910 | | allocated later |
| 911 | | - cleaned up the remove state machine and removed an unnecessary |
| 912 | | allocation/copy |
| 913 | | - fixed existing acache usage in the sysint calls to be more uniform; |
| 914 | | removed some overhead in the sysint |
| 915 | | - fixed kernel device close to be aware if mounts are still active |
| 916 | | - added more tests to pvfs2-shell-test that test deeply nested |
| 917 | | subdirectories |
| 918 | | - added a method to determine the min handle recycle time across all |
| 919 | | configured servers' file systems |
| 920 | | - changed code formatting rules to use spaces rather than tabs in vim |
| 921 | | - fixed bug that didn't reload the cached config information on file |
| 922 | | system removal (i.e. unmounts) |
| 923 | | - added a cmdline argument to pvfs2-client to specify the acache |
| 924 | | timeout to use at run-time (default is 0 milliseconds, which is |
| 925 | | effectively disabled). this timeout is upper bounded by the min |
| 926 | | handle recycle time across all servers, and it can change |
| 927 | | dynamically as new mounts come and go |
| 928 | | - fixed a bug that allowed servers to create internal storage objects |
| 929 | | outside of the meta handle ranges in some circumstances |
| 930 | | - replace single element msgpair/array setup code where possible with |
| 931 | | a macro |
| 932 | | |
| 933 | | |
| 934 | | pvfs2-0.6.0 |
| 935 | | =========== |
| 936 | | - removed pvfs2-import and pvfs2-export in favor of pvfs2-cp |
| 937 | | - added compile time option for disabling thread-safety in the client |
| 938 | | library (enabled by default; --disable-thread-safety to disable) |
| 939 | | - improved configure summary information emitted at configure time |
| 940 | | - added missing non-blocking sysint declarations to sysint header |
| 941 | | - made sysint test and testsome() calls more useable |
| 942 | | - merged dev unexp polling/handling with system interface |
| 943 | | - added PINT_sys_dev_unexp call that allows posting unexpected device |
| 944 | | messages so that they can be returned from the sysint testsome |
| 945 | | method in addition to completed sysint operations |
| 946 | | - added a id_gen_fast_unregister macro that is a no op, to make the |
| 947 | | api more consistent with the id_gen_safe_* calls |
| 948 | | - modified device driver to work properly in non-blocking mode from |
| 949 | | userspace by implementing the character device poll method and |
| 950 | | modified the pint-dev device interface to make sure it can handle |
| 951 | | the pvfs2 device in a non-blocking manner; added a no immediate |
| 952 | | completion option to the device interface; made test more efficient |
| 953 | | by not polling if no idle time is specified; check for poll errors; |
| 954 | | use proper buffer sizes for reads across the device |
| 955 | | - added a method to free the mapped memory region on pvfs2-client-core |
| 956 | | shutdown (valgrind complained) |
| 957 | | - modified all job uses of the id-generator to use the safe, rather |
| 958 | | than fast, methods (useful for several reasons including safe |
| 959 | | cancellation of already completed operations) |
| 960 | | - modified the job_dev_unexp method to have (and honor) the no |
| 961 | | immediate completion flag if passed (used in the pvfs2-client-core) |
| 962 | | - re-wrote pvfs2-client-core to use sysint non-blocking operations |
| 963 | | - improved human readable size reporting |
| 964 | | - allow human readable size reporting to optionally use si units |
| 965 | | - added --si option to pvfs2-ls (similar to ls's --si option) |
| 966 | | - added -H option to pvfs2-statfs (similar to du's -H option) |
| 967 | | - added a method able to cancel I/O operations in progress |
| 968 | | - removed kernel ability to kill device file on cancelled I/O |
| 969 | | - added the ability of sys-io.sm to handle run-time cancellation while |
| 970 | | still transitioning properly |
| 971 | | - added support in the pvfs2-client for ignoring an upcall retry for |
| 972 | | an op already in progress (as opposed to servicing it multiple |
| 973 | | times) |
| 974 | | - added kernel method that allows the cancellation upcall/downcall |
| 975 | | cycle to progress, ignoring the fact that a signal is pending (since |
| 976 | | the only time a cancellation is issued is when there's a signal |
| 977 | | pending) |
| 978 | | - fixed kernel oops on setattr (signal) interruption by returning a |
| 979 | | valid error code in this case |
| 980 | | - full acache cleanup, bugfixes, and thread-safety support |
| 981 | | - allow the sysint post() method to complete an op if finished |
| 982 | | (i.e. all states are immed. completion) by adding it to the |
| 983 | | completion list (which test/testsome can retrieve) |
| 984 | | - removed 'cached' attribute fields from getattr_sm object |
| 985 | | - removed mostly duplicated code from shared-state-methods.c |
| 986 | | - added support (testing only) for building a threaded client library |
| 987 | | - gracefully terminate thread-mgr testing threads on errors (this is |
| 988 | | only really useful for graceful shutdown of the threaded client |
| 989 | | library) |
| 990 | | - added a set_info option to bmi that tells it to be more aggressive |
| 991 | | when cancelling operations (bmi_tcp will now close sockets) |
| 992 | | - fixed kernel bugs that didn't release the bufmap indices in use on |
| 993 | | some error paths (eventually caused all of them to be permanently |
| 994 | | used which caused hangs on I/O) |
| 995 | | - extended msgpairarray code to only retry msgpairs that haven't |
| 996 | | completed already |
| 997 | | - increased kernel module single operation timeout to be 60 seconds |
| 998 | | instead of 30 seconds (note: as a side-effect this also extends the |
| 999 | | amount of time you'll have to wait on interrupted operations via |
| 1000 | | signal for now) |
| 1001 | | - added PVFS_strerror_r; an equivalent to strerror_r (the thread-safe |
| 1002 | | strerror call) that handles PVFS_error codes |
| 1003 | | - added a simple file_write test program (tests are not in releases) |
| 1004 | | - always delay for 1 second before spawning the pvfs2-client-core from |
| 1005 | | within the pvfs2-client to avoid filling dmesg with harmful looking |
| 1006 | | errors while restarting (and re-opening the device file) |
| 1007 | | - new trove component called dbpf-open-cache that caches open file |
| 1008 | | descriptors and db references; replaces dbpf-bstream-fd-cache, |
| 1009 | | dbpf-dspace-db-cache, and dbpf-keyval-db-cache; fixes a few long |
| 1010 | | standing file size and attribute bugs |
| 1011 | | - added a few missing admin tools to make install target |
| 1012 | | - more attribute debugging messages or server |
| 1013 | | - added admin utility program pvfs2-chown |
| 1014 | | - added make lib/pvfs2-threaded.a target that can be used to build a |
| 1015 | | multithreaded version of the pvfs2 client library |
| 1016 | | - thread safety for dynamic activation of bmi methods |
| 1017 | | - fixed makefile LD selection and html docs target |
| 1018 | | - fixed bmi deadlock that appears in multithreaded library |
| 1019 | | - fixed responsiveness of pvfs2 kernel driver device poll |
| 1020 | | - added new option to BMI called BMI_FORCEFUL_CANCEL_MODE to serve as |
| 1021 | | a hint to modules to be more aggressive when cancelling operation |
| 1022 | | (i.e., tell tcp to always close sockets when cancelling) |
| 1023 | | - renamed pint-bucket component to pint-cached-config |
| 1024 | | - enabled pint-cached-config on server side |
| 1025 | | - unified how autogenerated .c files are tracked across client and |
| 1026 | | server builds |
| 1027 | | - fixed distclean for release tarballs so that it does not destroy .c |
| 1028 | | files that cannot be regenerated without full cvs source |
| 1029 | | - moved msgpairarry from client code to common code and made many |
| 1030 | | adjustments to enable general usage; linked into server |
| 1031 | | - misc. msgpairarray cleanups |
| 1032 | | - removed depricated PINT_client_bmi_cancel() function |
| 1033 | | - updated state machine compiler to allow multiple machine definitions |
| 1034 | | per file |
| 1035 | | - added new null job type that can be used to manually trigger |
| 1036 | | asynchronous state machine transitions |
| 1037 | | - refactored server side functions used to start state machines that |
| 1038 | | are not tied to incoming requests |
| 1039 | | - refactored server crdirent state machine using nested state machines |
| 1040 | | and a little bit clearer error handling |
| 1041 | | - added job functionality to reset timeout timer on pending jobs |
| 1042 | | - removed old "contig" encoder from source tree |
| 1043 | | - added new "cancel" debugging mask to look at job timeout behavior |
| 1044 | | - documentation updates: a new high availability document, faq update, |
| 1045 | | guide update, manpages |
| 1046 | | - moved exported pvfs2-util string functions to private str-utils |
| 1047 | | - added permission checking debugging mask and keyword to debug what |
| 1048 | | the server is doing on permission granting or failure |
| 1049 | | - modified cosmetic output of admin tool pvfs2-set-debugmask |
| 1050 | | - make sure pvfs2-client doesn't cause a hang on ssh logout due to |
| 1051 | | improperly closed fds; this was fixed in the past but unfixed to |
| 1052 | | report exec failures. we can't do that anymore with this setup, so |
| 1053 | | we'll have to either require an absolute path to the client |
| 1054 | | (preferred), or scan the PATH ourself to be sure it can be found; or |
| 1055 | | log to a file like the server |
| 1056 | | - added debugging regarding the handle re-use timeout |
| 1057 | | - increased the default handle re-use timeout from 45 to 360 seconds |
| 1058 | | - removed redefinition of the default handle timeout constant |
| 1059 | | - change permissions to reasonable defaults on newly created |
| 1060 | | directories using pvfs2-mkdir |
| 1061 | | - extended pvfs2-cp to preserve src to dest permissions where |
| 1062 | | applicable |
| 1063 | | - extended pvfs2-cp to allow symlinks to be copied to and from pvfs2 |
| 1064 | | (as the link target file, not as a link -- similar to normal 'cp') |
| 1065 | | - extended pvfs2-cp to truncate target files if they exist |
| 1066 | | - added a threaded vfs test program to perform heavy I/O on a single |
| 1067 | | file |
| 1068 | | - fixed pvfs2-server to continue processing after recoverable |
| 1069 | | BMI_testcontext errors |
| 1070 | | - added some gossip debugging along the acache code path |
| 1071 | | - kernel bugfixes: |
| 1072 | | - don't attempt to shrink the sb's dcache on device close in the |
| 1073 | | case that the sb has not yet been filled |
| 1074 | | - translate error codes that occurred while waiting for the |
| 1075 | | downcall, rather than assuming an error came back from the |
| 1076 | | downcall (in the case that it didn't); fixes a possible oops on |
| 1077 | | invalid mounts |
| 1078 | | - use fully 64-bit op tags instead of relying on unreliable casts |
| 1079 | | and assumptions moving from kernel space to userspace; changes use |
| 1080 | | of an atomic_t type to a spinlock protected int64_t; works on ppc |
| 1081 | | without problems now |
| 1082 | | - changed pre-posted write_ack recv posting to have an infinite |
| 1083 | | timeout that is reset on flow completion to avoid timeouts before |
| 1084 | | operation completion |
| 1085 | | - fixed crash bugs on (unexpected) job expiration in various places |
| 1086 | | - fixed crash bugs when an invalid (or unsupported) encoding type is |
| 1087 | | specified by reporting the error to the user, and the completing the |
| 1088 | | operation if possible by cycling through the valid encoders |
| 1089 | | - added pvfs2tab support for the line encoding=default |
| 1090 | | |
| 1091 | | |
| 1092 | | pvfs2-0.5.1 |
| 1093 | | =========== |
| 1094 | | - added a pidfile option to pvfs2-server for init script integration |
| 1095 | | - auto-tuned BMI timeout to poll during activity, sleep a bit |
| 1096 | | otherwise |
| 1097 | | - pay attention to BMI timeouts in IB layer |
| 1098 | | - fail quitely on unrecognized BMI method types in pvfs2tab |
| 1099 | | - disabled TCP method for IB builds |
| 1100 | | - added pvfs2-cp, which should have all of the functionaly of |
| 1101 | | pvfs2-import and pvfs2-export, but none of the bugs (!) |

| 1114 | | most mgmt operations |
| 1115 | | - changed all credential arguments to credential references |
| 1116 | | - export id-generator methods for sysint users |
| 1117 | | - removed pvfs2-threaded-client-core application from code base |
| 1118 | | - added pvfs2-mkdir program |
| 1119 | | - added pvfs2-cp program (soon to replace both pvfs2-import & |
| 1120 | | pvfs2-export) |
| 1121 | | - added a GPL license notice in the top level files for the kernel |
| 1122 | | module |
| 1123 | | - moved cached configuration information our of the configuration |
| 1124 | | object |
| 1125 | | - allow server setattr operations to be performed even if write access |
| 1126 | | on the object being modified is not granted (fixes utime failures |
| 1127 | | and misc other permission problems like untarring some files) |
| 1128 | | - kernel bugfixes: |
| 1129 | | - fixed an oops on cancelled object operations (file,dir,symlink) |
| 1130 | | - fixed kernel error codes in several places |
| 1131 | | - fixed a memory leak that didn't free symlink targets |
| 1132 | | - replaced new_inode call with iget to avoid the possibility of |
| 1133 | | duplicate inodes with the same number in the vfs |
| 1134 | | - fixed kernel create mode translation when creating new objects |
| 1135 | | - kernel 2.4.x. support introduced (supports 2.4.19 and up) |
| 1136 | | - allow pvfs2-client to restart on device open failure |
| 1137 | | - updated quickstart with the following information: |
| 1138 | | - gcc 2.96 or above is required (as gcc 2.95 generates buggy code) |
| 1139 | | - how to use the kernel interface under 2.4.19 or above |
| 1140 | | - misc cleanups, error handling, and debugging |
| 1141 | | |
| 1142 | | |
| 1143 | | pvfs2-0.5.0 |

| 1189 | | operate on anything that's not regular file |
| 1190 | | - added a chdirent server operation that replaces an existing dirent |

| 1192 | | - refactored the client side remove state machine so that it can be |
| 1193 | | used by both the remove and rename client operations |
| 1194 | | - general cleanups and improvements to the client side rename |
