Can we have some volunteers of these BZs?

Hi Csaba, 

These are the updates regarding the requirements, after our meeting 
last week. The specific updates on the requirements are inline. 

In general, we feel that the requirements for selective read-only mode 
and immediate disconnection of clients on access revocation are doable 
for GlusterFS-3.8. The only problem right now is that we do not have 
any volunteers for it.

With the availability of client_t, implementing this should become 
easier. The server xlator would store the incoming connections common 
name or address in the client_t associated with the connection. The 
read-only xlator could then make use of this information to 
selectively allow read-only clients. The read-only xlator would need 
to implement a new option for selective read-only, which would be 
populated with lists of common-names and addresses of clients which 
would get read-only access.

Currently, when auth.allow/reject and auth.ssl-allow options are 
changed, the server xlator does a reconfigure to reload its access 
list. It just does a reload, and doesn't affect any existing 
connections. To bring this feature in, the server xlator would need to 
iterate through its xprt_list and check every connection for 
authorization again on a reconfigure. Those connections which have 
lost authorization would be disconnected.

This requires some more thought to figure out the correct solution. 
One possible way to get the capabilities of the cluster would be to 
look at the clusters running op-version. This can be obtained using 
`gluster volume get all cluster.op-version` (the volume get command is 
available in glusterfs-3.6 and above). But this doesn't provide much 
improvement over the existing checks being done in the driver.
