committed
- Added a new `dirents_extended` function which can improve `find` operations. A corresponding example how to use this
function can be found at
`examples/gfind/gfind.cpp` with a non-mpi version at `examples/gfind/sfind.cpp`
([!73](https://storage.bsc.es/gitlab/hpc/gekkofs/-/merge_requests/73)).
- Code coverage reports for the source code are now generated and tracked
([!77](https://storage.bsc.es/gitlab/hpc/gekkofs/-/merge_requests/77)).

on a per directory or file basis ([!39](https://storage.bsc.es/gitlab/hpc/gekkofs/-/merge_requests/39)).
- For developers:
- A convenience library has been added for unit testing
([!94](https://storage.bsc.es/gitlab/hpc/gekkofs/-/merge_requests/94)).
- Code format is now enforced with the `clang-format` tool
([!66](https://storage.bsc.es/gitlab/hpc/gekkofs/-/merge_requests/66)).
A new script is available in `scripts/check_format.sh` for easy of use.
- `GKFS_METADATA_MOD` macro has been added allowing the MetadataModule to be

- Syscall_intercept now supports glibc version 2.3 or newer
([!72](https://storage.bsc.es/gitlab/hpc/gekkofs/-/merge_requests/72)).

- The daemon can now be restarted without losing its namespace ([!85](https://storage.bsc.es/gitlab/hpc/gekkofs/-/merge_requests/85)).
- An issue has been resolved that required AGIOS even if it wasn't been used ([!104](https://storage.bsc.es/gitlab/hpc/gekkofs/-/merge_requests/104)).

- Fixed an issue where `LOG_OUTPUT_TRUNC` did not work as expected ([!118](https://storage.bsc.es/gitlab/hpc/gekkofs/-/merge_requests/118)).
Ramon Nou
committed
- Both client library and daemon have been extended to support the ofi+verbs
protocol.
- A new Python testing harness has been implemented to support integration
tests. The end goal is to increase the robustness of the code in the mid- to
long-term.
- The RPC protocol and the usage of shared memory for intra-node communication
no longer need to be activated on compile time. New arguments
`-P|--rpc-protocol` and `--auto-sm` have been added to the daemon to this
effect. This configuration options are propagated to clients when they
initialize and contact daemons.
- Native support for the Omni-Path network protocol by choosing the `ofi+psm2`
RPC protocol. Note that this requires `libfabric`'s version to be greater
than `1.8` as well as `psm2` to be installed in the system. Clients must set
`FI_PSM2_DISCONNECT=1` to be able to reconnect once the client is shut down
once.
*Known limitations:* Client reconnect doesn't always work. Apparently, if
clients reconnect too fast the servers won't accept the connections. Also,
currently more than 16 clients per node are not supported.
- A new execution mode called `GekkoFWD` that allows GekkoFS to run as
a user-level I/O forwarding infrastructure for applications. In this mode,
I/O operations from an application are intercepted and forwarded to a single
GekkoFS daemon that is chosen according to a pre-defined distribution. In the
daemons, the requests are scheduled using the AGIOS scheduling library before
they are dispatched to the shared backend parallel file system.
- The `fsync()` system call is now fully supported.
- Argobots tasks in the daemon are now wrapped in a dedicated class,
effectively removing the dependency. This lays ground work for future
non-Argobots I/O implementations.
- The `readdir()` implementation has been refactored and improved.
- Improvements on how to the installation scripts manage dependencies.
- The server sometimes crashed due to uncaught system errors in the storage
backend. This has now been fixed.
- Fixed a bug that broke `ls` on some architectures.
- Fixed a bug that leaked internal errors from the interception library to
client applications via `errno` propagation.
### Added
- Added support for `eventfd()`and `eventfd2()` system calls.
### Changed
- Replaced Margo with Mercury in the client library in order to increase
application compatibility: the Argobots ULTs used by Margo to send and
process RPCs clashed at times with applications using pthreads.
- Renamed environment variables to better distinguish which variables affect
the client library (`LIBGKFS_*`) and which affect the daemon
(`GKFS_DAEMON_*`).
- Replaced spdlog in the client with a bespoke logging infrastructure:
spdlog's internal threads and exception management often had issues with the
system call interception infrastructure. The current logging infrastructure
is designed around the syscall interception mechanism, and is therefore more
stable.
- Due to the new logging infrastructure, there have been significant changes
to the environment variables controlling logging output. The desired log
module is now set with `LIBGKFS_LOG`, while the desired output channel is
controlled with `LIBGKFS_LOG_OUTPUT`. Additional options such as
`LIBGKFS_LOG_OUTPUT_TRUNC`, `LOG_SYSCALL_FILTER` and `LOG_DEBUG_VERBOSITY`
can be used to further control messages. Run the client with
`LIBGKFS_LOG=help` for more details.
- Improved dependency management in CMake.
- Relocate internal file descriptors to a private range to avoid interfering
with client application file descriptors.
- Handle internal file descriptors created by `fcntl()`.
- Handle internal file descriptors passed to processes using `CMSG_DATA` in
`recvmsg()`.
- Paths inside kernel pseudo filesystems (`/sys`, `/proc`) are forwarded directly to the kernel and internal path resolution will be skipped. Be aware that also paths like `/sys/../tmp/gkfs_mountpoint/asd` will be forwarded to the kernel
- Added new Cmake flag `CREATE_CHECK_PARENTS` to controls if the existance of the parent node needs to be checked during the creation of a child node.
- Daemon logs for RPC handlers have been polished
- Updated Margo, Mercury and Libfabric dependencies
- mk_node RPC wasn't propagating errors correctly from daemons
- README has been improoved and got some minor fixes
- fix wrong path in log call for mk_symlink function
- Added new Cmake flag `LOG_SYSCALLS` to enable/disable syscall logging.
- Intercept the 64 bit version of `getdents`.
- Added debian-based docker image.
- Disable syscalls logging by default
- Update Mercury, RocksDB and Libfabric dependencies
- Fix read at the end of file.
- Don't create log file when using `--version`/`--help` cli flags.
- On some systems LD_PRELOAD used on /bin/bash binary was not working.
- Missing definition of `loff_t` on new version of GCC.
- Add compile time option to disable shared memory communication `-DUSE_SHM:BOOL=OFF`
- Deamons does not store anymore information about the others deamons.
- Improoved error handling on deamon initialization
- Decreased RPC timeout 3min -> 3sec
- Update 3rd party dependencies
- PID file is not used anymore, we use only the new `hosts file` for out of bound communication
- Dropped CCI plugin support
- Dropped hostname-suffix cli option
- Dropped port cli option (use `--listen` instead)
- It is not needed anymore to pass hosts information to deamons, thus the `--hosts` cli have been removed
- Errors on get_dirents RPC are now reported back to clients
- Write errors happenig on deamons are now reported back to clients
- number overflow on lseek didn't allow to use seek on huge files
- Intercept I/O syscalls instead of GlibC function using [syscall intercept library](https://github.com/pmem/syscall_intercept)
First GekkoFS public release
This version provides a client library that uses GLibC I/O function interception.
