Description Dan Lambright 2015-10-21 23:02:38 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1267950 +++

We need a way to pause tiering to take snapshot. A file cannot be in the middle of promotion/demotion when a snapshot is taken. If a file is in the middle of migration, abort the migration and rollback any in-progress work. Implement a CLI for this and to resume migration.

    cluster/tier: add pause tier for snapshots
    
    Snaps of tiered volumes cannot handle files undergoing migration.
    We implement a helper mechanism to "pause" migration. Any files
    undergoing migration are aborted. Clean up is done to remove
    sticky bits and data at the destination. Migration is restarted
    after snap completes.
    
    For testing an internal switch is added. It is not exposed externally.
    
    gluster volume set vol1 tier-pause [true|false]

    cluster/tier: do not block in synctask created from pause tier
    
    We had run sleep() in the pause tier callback. Blocking within
    a synctask is dangerous. The sleep() call does not inform
    the synctask scheduler that a thread is no longer running.
    It therefore believes it is running. If a second synctask already
    exists, it may not be able to run. This occurs if the thread
    limit in the pool has been reached.
    
    Note the pool size only grows when a synctask is created, not
    when it is moved from wait state to run state, as is the case
    when an FOP completes. When the tier is paused during migration,
    synctasks already exist waiting for responses to FOPs to the
    server with high probability.
    
    The fix is to yield() in the RPC callback, which will place
    the synctask into the wait queue and free up a thread for the
    FOP callback. A timer wakes the callback after sufficient
    time has elapsed for the pause to occur.
    
    This is a backport of 12987.
