    afr: arbiter xlator
    
    This patch adds the arbiter translator into the tree. This is a server
    side xlator used for replica 3 volumes. It sits above posix and will be
    loaded on the 3rd (last) brick of every afr subvolume in a replica 3
    configuration. It intercepts inode read/write operations: reads are
    unwound with ENOTCONN, inode writes are unwound with success without
    actually passing them down to posix. Metadata operations are allowed to
    pass through.
    
    The CLI for creating a 3 way replica with arbiter is also added but kept
    disabled (A 'normal' 3 way replica is created instead).
    
    This patch is a part of the arbiter logic implementation for 3 way AFR,
    details of which can be found at http://review.gluster.org/#/c/9656/

    build: remove broken and unused _la_LIBADD variable
    
    While building, the following warning is displayed:
    
      xlators/features/arbiter/src/Makefile.am:7: variable `_la_LIBADD' is defined but no program or
      xlators/features/arbiter/src/Makefile.am:7: library has `_la' as canonical name (possible typo)
    
    The _la_LIBADD really seems like a typo, dropping it should not be harmful to
    anything, except for the warning that will now be gone.

I'm keeping the BZ in post state (and not modified) as I plan to submit further patches for this feature against this BZ until 3.7 is released.

    arbiter: load arbiter xlator on every 3rd brick of a replica 3 AFR subvol
    
    Logic for adding the 'glusterd_brickinfo->group' member and using it to
    find the brick positon has been taken from http://review.gluster.org/#/c/9919.
    Thanks to Jeff Darcy for that.

    afr: add arbitration support
    
    Add logic in afr to work in conjunction with the arbiter xlator when a
    replica 3 arbiter volume is created. More specifically, this patch:
    
    * Enables full locks for afr data transaction for such volumes.
    * Removes the upfront marking of pending xattrs at the time of pre-op
      and defer it to post-op. (This is an arbiter independent change and is made for all afr transactions.)
    * After pre-op stage, check if we can proceed with the fop stage without
      ending up in split-brain by examining the changelog xattrs.
    * Unwinds the fop with failure if only one source was available at the
       time of pre-op and the fop happened to fail on particular source brick.
    * Skips data self-heal if arbiter brick is the only source available.
    * Adds the arbiter-count option to the shd graph.
    
    This patch is a part of the arbiter logic implementation for 3 way AFR

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.

--- Additional comment from Niels de Vos on 2016-06-16 08:42:14 EDT ---

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.
