Fixed In Version: glusterfs-3.12.2-7
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
When the gluster volume had a certain combination of volume options set, some of the files appeared twice in mountpoint after performing a readdir operation. The following combination of volume options caused the error: performance.stat-prefetch off performance.readdir-ahead on performance.parallel-readdir on With this fix, when readdir is issued on the mountpoint, no double entries are seen for a single file.

Description Poornima G 2018-03-23 09:45:33 EDT
Description of problem:

On a distribute volume, if the below set of options are enabled:
cluster.rebal-throttle: aggressive
performance.rda-cache-limit: 300Mb
server.allow-insecure: on
performance.readdir-ahead: on
performance.force-readdirp: on
storage.batch-fsync-delay-usec: 0
cluster.min-free-disk: 120GB
nfs.disable: on
performance.stat-prefetch: off
cluster.weighted-rebalance: on
transport.address-family: inet
cluster.lookup-optimize: off
performance.parallel-readdir: on
auto-delete: disable

The linkto files will be visible on the mount point

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1523258#c69

I created a pure distribute volume with 3 bricks, created and renamed files so there would be linkto files created:


[root@rhgs313-6 ~]# mount -t glusterfs -s 192.168.122.6:/rebal1 /mnt/fuse1

[root@rhgs313-6 fuse1]# 
[root@rhgs313-6 fuse1]# 

With the default options, linkto files are not visible on the mount point:

[root@rhgs313-6 fuse1]# 
[root@rhgs313-6 fuse1]# l
total 1.0K
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 5 Mar 22 23:20 AJKAJDNAL

[root@rhgs313-6 fuse1]# 


Set the options enabled on mediaset:

[root@rhgs313-6 fuse1]# gluster v set  rebal1 performance.readdir-ahead on
volume set: success
[root@rhgs313-6 fuse1]# gluster v set  rebal1 performance.rda-cache-limit 300Mb

Comment 8 Sweta Anandpara 2018-05-16 05:10:23 EDT
Reproduced this on a RHGS 3.3.1 setup:

- where the said options were enabled on a plain distribute volume -> files' create-rename done to have T-files present from a fuse mount -> (Mountpoint displayed T-files) -> parallel-readdir disabled -> (Mountpoint did not display T-files) -> parallel-readdir enabled and stat-prefetch enabled -> (Mountpoint did not display T-files)

Tried the exact same steps on the build glusterfs-3.12.2-10.el7rhgs.x86_64.

- where mountpoint never displayed T-files in any of the steps.. irrespective of parallel-readdir enabled/disabled, or stat-prefetch enabled/disabled. 

In other words, no dependency seen between paralled-readdir and stat-prefetch to be enabled together. 

Moving this bug to verified. PFA detailed logs.
