Description Soumya Koduri 2015-07-16 11:31:12 UTC

Description of problem:
With http://review.gluster.org/#/c/10319/, global_xlator is used for allocations needed for logging so that we don't try to free objects belonging to an already-deleted translator (which will crash). The same global xlator needs to be referred while trying to free those allocations as well.

Comment 3 Soumya Koduri 2015-08-06 03:37:17 UTC

Instead, since with http://review.gluster.org/#/c/10417/, struct mem_accnt is no longer embedded in a xlator_t object, but allocated separately, we have decided to revert the workaround provided to avoid crashes in logging infrastructure.

    logging: Stop using global xlator for log_buf allocations
    
    This reverts commit 765849ee00f6661c9059122ff2346b03b224745f.
    
    With http://review.gluster.org/#/c/10417/, struct mem_accnt
    is no longer embedded in a xlator_t object, but instead is
    allocated separately. Hence this workaround provided to avoid
    crashes in logging infrastructure is no longer needed
