[Gluster-devel] a link issue maybe introduced in a bug fix " Don't let NFS cache stat after writes"

So I suppose ctime is enough to consider it whether a good iatt or not.
And why we also include ia_nlink in function gf_zero_fill_stat and gf_is_zero_filled_stat ?

From my investigation, if set ia_nlink to 0, if kernel read the attr with flag RCU, kernel will check the ia_nlink field, when do LINK operation, it will lead to error of “files is not exist”.

if (inode->i_nlink == 0 && !(inode->i_state & I_LINKABLE))
             error =  -ENOENT;

If ctime is zero, no xlator should consider it as a good iatt. The fact that this is happening means some xlator is not doing proper checks in code. We need to find what that xlator is and fix it. Internet in our new office is not working so I'm not able to have call today with you guys. What I would do is to put logs in lookup, link, fstat, stat calls to see if anyone unwound iatt with ia_nlink count as zero but ctime as nonzero.

Hi,  Pranith Kumar,

Can you tell me while need set buf->ia_nlink to “0”in function gf_zero_fill_stat(), which API or Application will care it?
If I remove this line and also update corresponding in function gf_is_zero_filled_stat,
The issue seems gone, but I can’t confirm will lead to other issues.

So could you please double check it and give your comments?

My change is as the below:

gf_boolean_t
gf_is_zero_filled_stat (struct iatt *buf)
{
        if (!buf)
                return 1;

        /* Do not use st_dev because it is transformed to store the xlator id
         * in place of the device number. Do not use st_ino because by this time
         * we've already mapped the root ino to 1 so it is not guaranteed to be
         * 0.
         */
//        if ((buf->ia_nlink == 0) && (buf->ia_ctime == 0))
        if (buf->ia_ctime == )
                return 1;

        return 0;
}

void
gf_zero_fill_stat (struct iatt *buf)
{
//       buf->ia_nlink = 0;
        buf->ia_ctime = 0;
}

Thanks & Best Regards

Hi,
>>> Cool, this works for me too. Send me a mail off-list once you are available and we can figure out a way to get into a call and work on this.

Have you reproduced the issue per the step I listed in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1531457 and last mail?

If not, I would like you could try it yourself , which the difference between yours and mine is just create only 2 bricks instead of 6 bricks.

And Cynthia could have a session with you if you needed when I am not available in next Monday and Tuesday.

Thanks & Best Regards,
George

It is fine if you can’t reproduce the issue in your ENV.
And I has attached the detail reproduce log in the Bugzilla FYI

But I am sorry I maybe OOO at Monday and Tuesday next week, so debug session will be fine to me at next Wednesday.

Hi,
I suppose the brick numbers in your testing is six, and you just shut down the 3 process.
When I reproduce the issue, I only create a replicate volume with 2 bricks, only let ONE brick working and set cluster.consistent-metadata on,
With this 2 test condition, the issue could 100% reproducible.

Hi,
      I actually tried it with replica-2 and replica-3 and then distributed replica-2 before replying to the earlier mail. We can have a debugging session if you are okay with it.
I am in the middle of a customer issue myself(That is the reason for this delay :-( ) and thinking of wrapping it up early next week. Would that be fine with you?

Hi,
       I tried recreating this on my laptop and on both master and 3.12 and I am not able to recreate the issue :-(.
Here is the execution log: https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/-csXUKrwsbrZAVW1KzggQQ
Since I was doing this on my laptop, I changed shutting down of the replica to killing the brick process to simulate this test.
Let me know if I missed something.


Sorry, I am held up with some issue at work, so I think I will get some time day after tomorrow to look at this. In the mean time I am adding more people who know about afr to see if they get a chance to work on this before me.


And if it is an issue,  do you have any solution for this issue?

Thanks & Best Regards,
George

Hi,

Please see detail test step on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1531457

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.create a volume name "test" with replicated
2.set volume option cluster.consistent-metadata with on:
  gluster v set test cluster.consistent-metadata on
3. mount volume test on client on /mnt/test
4. create a file aaa size more than 1 byte
   echo "1234567890" >/mnt/test/aaa
5. shutdown a replicat node, let's say sn-1, only let sn-0 worked
6. cp /mnt/test/aaa /mnt/test/bbb; link /mnt/test/bbb /mnt/test/ccc


BRs

It is fuse, within mountpoint by “mount -t glusterfs  …“ command.

Could you let me know the test you did so that I can try to re-create and see what exactly is going on?
Configuration of the volume and the steps to re-create the issue you are seeing would be helpful in debugging the issue further.

Hi, Pranith Kumar,

I has create a bug on Bugzilla https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1531457
After my investigation for this link issue, I suppose your changes on afr-dir-write.c with issue " Don't let NFS cache stat after writes" , your fix is like:
--------------------------------------
       if (afr_txn_nothing_failed (frame, this)) {
                        /*if it did pre-op, it will do post-op changing ctime*/
                        if (priv->consistent_metadata &&
                            afr_needs_changelog_update (local))
                                afr_zero_fill_stat (local);
                        local->transaction.unwind (frame, this);
                }
In the above fix, it set the ia_nlink to ‘0’ if option consistent-metadata is set to “on”.
And hard link a file with which just created will lead to an error, and the error is caused in kernel function “vfs_link”:
if (inode->i_nlink == 0 && !(inode->i_state & I_LINKABLE))
             error =  -ENOENT;

could you please have a check and give some comments here?

When stat is "zero filled", understanding is that the higher layer protocol doesn't send stat value to the kernel and a separate lookup is sent by the kernel to get the latest stat value. In which protocol are you seeing this issue? Fuse/NFS/SMB?


Thanks & Best Regards,
George
