Description Joseph Elwin Fernandes 2015-05-01 15:57:06 UTC
Description of problem:
ctr/libgfdb: Performance enhancer for unlink/create/rename/link fops

1) ctr_link_consistency option for ctr xaltor is provided so that
   the user can choose to switch it on or off.
   /* For link consistency we do a double update i.e mark the link
   * during the wind and during the unwind we update/delete the link.
   * This has a performance hit. We give a choice here whether we need
   * link consistency to be spoton or not using link_consistency flag.
   * This will have only one link update */
2) In delete the wind time recording is moved to unwind path.
   /* Special performance case:
   * Updating wind time in unwind for delete. This is done here
   * as in the wind path we will not know whether its the last
   * link or not. For a last link there is not use to update any
   * wind or unwind time!*/

Comment 3 Niels de Vos 2015-05-15 13:07:29 UTC
This change should not be in "ON_QA", the patch posted for this bug is only available in the master branch and not in a release yet. Moving back to MODIFIED until there is an beta release for the next GlusterFS version.

Comment 4 Nagaprasad Sathyanarayana 2015-10-25 15:03:04 UTC
Fix for this BZ is already present in a GlusterFS release. You can find clone of this BZ, fixed in a GlusterFS release and closed. Hence closing this mainline BZ as well.

Comment 5 Niels de Vos 2016-06-16 12:57:38 UTC
This bug is getting closed because a release has been made available that should address the reported issue. In case the problem is still not fixed with glusterfs-3.8.0, please open a new bug report.

glusterfs-3.8.0 has been announced on the Gluster mailinglists [1], packages for several distributions should become available in the near future. Keep an eye on the Gluster Users mailinglist [2] and the update infrastructure for your distribution.
