Subject: [PATCH 116/124] cluster/ec: fix fd reopen
233933
233933
Currently EC tries to reopen fd's that have been opened while a brick
233933
was down. This is done as part of regular write operations, just after
233933
having acquired the locks, and it's sent as a sub-fop of the main write
233933
fop.
233933
233933
There were two problems:
233933
233933
1. The reopen was attempted on all UP bricks, even if a previous lock
233933
didn't succeed. This is incorrect because most probably the open will
233933
fail.
233933
233933
2. If reopen is sent and fails, the error is propagated to the main
233933
operation, causing it to fail when it shouldn't.
233933
233933
To fix this, we only attempt reopens on bricks where the current fop
233933
owns a lock, and we prevent any error to be propagated to the main
233933
fop.
233933
233933
To implement this behaviour an argument used to indicate the minimum
233933
number of required answers has overloaded to also include some flags. To
233933
make the change consistent, it has been necessary to rename the
233933
argument, which means that a lot of files have been changed. However
233933
there are no functional changes.
233933
233933
This change has also uncovered a problem in discard code, which didn't
233933
correctely process requests of small sizes because no real discard fop
233933
was being processed, only a write of 0's on some region. In this case
233933
some fields of the fop remained uninitialized or with incorrect values.
233933
To fix this, a new function has been created to simulate success on a
233933
fop and it's used in the discard case.
233933
233933
Thanks to Pranith for providing a test script that has also detected an
233933
issue in this patch. This patch includes a small modification of this
233933
script to force data to be written into bricks before stopping them.
