Description Pranith Kumar K 2016-04-24 01:10:19 UTC
Description of problem:
    After the commits: 7e44c783ad731856956929f6614bbe045c26ea3a - lock: use
    spinlock only on multicore systems
    a6aecae2cd8171b8538bfe5d2800bdd157380b85 - nfs: fix lock variable type
    
    we see a lot of "[global.glusterfs - usage-type (null) memusage]" in statedump
    because lock status is not all-zeros after init, and the memcmp to check that
    a datatype is never allocated is invalid.

    statedump: Prevent (null) typestr to be printed
    
    Problem:
    After the commits: 7e44c783ad731856956929f6614bbe045c26ea3a - lock: use
    spinlock only on multicore systems
    a6aecae2cd8171b8538bfe5d2800bdd157380b85 - nfs: fix lock variable type
    
    we see a lot of "[global.glusterfs - usage-type (null) memusage]" in statedump
    because lock status is not all-zeros after init, and the memcmp to check that
    a datatype is never allocated is invalid.
    
    Fix:
    Changed if a datatype is allocated or not check based on total_allocs. Also
    removed setting typestr to NULL on gf_free even when num_allocs is 0. Because
    even that is leading to 'null' memusage string to be printed in statedump.
