When we use heal info command, it takes lot of time as in some cases it takes lock on entries to find out if the entry actually needs heal or not. There are some cases where we can avoid these locks and can conclude if the entry needs heal or not. 1 - We do a lookup (without lock) on an entry, which we found in .glusterfs/indices/xattrop, and find that lock count is zero. Now if the file contains dirty bit set on all or any brick, we can say that this entry needs heal. 2 - If the lock count is one and dirty is greater than 1, then it also means that some fop had left the dirty bit set which made the dirty count of current fop (which has taken lock) more than one. At this point also we can definitely say that this entry needs heal. This patch is modifying code to take into consideration above two points. It is also changing code to not to call ec_heal_inspect if ec_heal_do was called from client side heal. Client side heal triggeres heal only when it is sure that it requires heal.

Development
Contributions to gluster in the form of patches and new feature additions can be made by following steps outlined at Developers Guide.
Documentation
The Gluster documentation can be found at Gluster Docs.
Deployment
Quick instructions to build and install can be found in INSTALL file.
Testing
GlusterFS source contains some functional tests under tests/
directory. All
these tests are run against every patch submitted for review. If you want your
patch to be tested, please add a .t
test file as part of your patch submission.
You can also submit a patch to only add a .t
file for the test case you are
aware of.
To run these tests, on your test-machine, just run ./run-tests.sh
. Don't run
this on a machine where you have 'production' glusterfs is running, as it would
blindly kill all gluster processes in each runs.
If you are sending a patch, and want to validate one or few specific tests, then run a single test by running the below command.
bash# /bin/bash ${path_to_gluster}/tests/basic/rpc-coverage.t
You can also use prove
tool if available in your machine, as follows.
bash# prove -vmfe '/bin/bash' ${path_to_gluster}/tests/basic/rpc-coverage.t
