+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1347715 +++

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1344714 +++

Description of problem:

The struct callback_inode_arg is a variable used by upcall infra for populating upcall entries. This variable is allocated using GF_CALLOC in glfs_h_poll_cache_invalidation(), but it also freedin FSAL_GLUSTER using free.
This will result in a crash when we try to remove a file from mount

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mainline

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. enable nfs-ganesha and export a volume 
2. mount the volume
3. create a file and delete it from the mount

Actual results:
ganesha server crashes

Expected results:
should not crash

    libglusterfs: add gf_get_mem_type()
    
    gfapi needs to provide a function towards applications to free memory
    that it allocated. Depending on how the application is compiled/linked,
    it could use a different memory allocator than Gluster itself. Therefore
    it is not safe for gfapi to request applications to free memory with
    'standard' free().
    
    Examples for this are Gluster allocated structures with GF_CALLOC() when
    memory accounting is enabled (the default). Some gfapi functions use
    malloc() to allocate memory as a workaround, but the free() from the
    jemalloc implementation should not be combined with the malloc() from
    glibc.

    gfapi: redesign the public interface for upcall consumers
    
    The glfs_callback_arg and glfs_callback_inode_arg were allocated by
    gfapi, and expected to be free()'d by the application. However it is not
    reasonable to expect that applications use the same memory allocator to
    as the compiled libgfapi.so. For instance, it is possible that gfapi
    uses glibc malloc/free, and an application like NFS-Ganesha the versions
    from jemalloc. Mismatching of the malloc() and free() functions causes
    segmentation faults at best.
    
    In order to prevent problems like this in the future, the API for
    applications that consume upcalls has been remodeled. Any of the
    structures that gfapi allocates, should be free'd with glfs_free(). The
    members of the structures can not be accessed directly anymore, each
    has its own function to access now.
    
    Correcting the naming of the functions, structures and constants is a
    continuation of commit 2775dc64101ed37c8d9809bf9852dbf0746ee2b6. These
    new improvements not only have correct prefixes for the functions and
    structures, the naming also reflects more to the upcall framework and
    does not use "callback" anymore.

    gfapi: add glfs_free() to glfs.h
    
    Commit 4721188a154acd9a0a4c096d8d73e97f3bf1b2a9 introduces glfs_free()
    but missed adding the function to the header. The symbol is correctly
    available in the library though. Testcases do not seem to fail when a
    function is missing for the headers...
    
    The glusterfs-3.7.16 packages have been released with the missing
    declaration in the header and symbol-maps. Still, the function is
    available for applications:
    
        $ objdump -T usr/lib64/libgfapi.so.0 | grep -w glfs_free
        0000000000006aa0 g    DF .text	0000000000000035  GFAPI_3.7.16 glfs_free
