Description Niels de Vos 2013-06-17 10:01:21 UTC
Description of problem:

While looking at the newly introduced procedures FALLOCATE and DISCARD, it
seems that these were added with already existing procedure numbers. This
makes the protocol incompatible with existing roll-outs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
$ git log --oneline -1 d1ccc4e4
d1ccc4e gluster: add fallocate fop support
$ git describe --tags d1ccc4e4
v3.4.0alpha-343-gd1ccc4e

$ git log --oneline -1 17f28717
17f2871 glusterfs: discard (hole punch) support
$ git describe --tags 17f28717
v3.4.0alpha-344-g17f2871


Additional info:

It is very confusing when new procedures are added somewhere in the
middle of the array. This will cause the number of existing procedures
to change. It is much preferred to add new procedures at the end of the
array.

This greatly simplifies adding support for these new procedures in
Wireshark and will prevent confusion to the people reading network
traces (with or without Wireshark).

    protocol/rpc: move latest added procedures to the end of the array
    
    While looking at the newly introduced procedures FALLOCATE and DISCARD,
    it seems that these were added with already existing procedure numbers.
    This makes the protocol incompatible with existing roll-outs.
    
    It is very confusing when new procedures are added somewhere in the
    middle of the array. This will cause the number of existing procedures
    to change. It is much preferred to add new procedures at the end of the
    array. This changes not only corrects the enum that generates the
    procedure numbers, but also the ordering in the client and server
    fops-array for clarity.
    
    Correcting this greatly simplifies adding support for these new
    procedures in Wireshark and will prevent confusion to the people reading
    network traces (with or without Wireshark).
