Re: brick multiplexing regression is broken

The test which is failing is also introduced with the same patch. It is supposed to validate the functionality introduced. From the history of earlier patchsets of same patch, same test has failed earlier too, albeit inconsistently (though the merged version has passed centos regressions). So, it looks like the patch is not working as intended during some race conditions. Frequent earlier failures should've served as an alert, but I failed to notice. Sorry about that.

The following commit has broken the brick multiplexing regression job. tests/bugs/bug-1371806_1.t has failed couple of times.  One of the latest regression job report is at https://build.gluster.org/job/regression-test-with-multiplex/406/console .

    cluster/dht : User xattrs are not healed after brick stop/start
   
    Problem: In a distributed volume custom extended attribute value for a directory
             does not display correct value after stop/start or added newly brick.
             If any extended(acl) attribute value is set for a directory after stop/added
             the brick the attribute(user|acl|quota) value is not updated on brick
             after start the brick.
   
    Solution: First store hashed subvol or subvol(has internal xattr) on inode ctx and
              consider it as a MDS subvol.At the time of update custom xattr
              (user,quota,acl, selinux) on directory first check the mds from
              inode ctx, if mds is not present on inode ctx then throw EINVAL error
              to application otherwise set xattr on MDS subvol with internal xattr
              value of -1 and then try to update the attribute on other non MDS
              volumes also.If mds subvol is down in that case throw an
              error "Transport endpoint is not connected". In dht_dir_lookup_cbk|
              dht_revalidate_cbk|dht_discover_complete call dht_call_dir_xattr_heal
              to heal custom extended attribute.
              In case of gnfs server if hashed subvol has not found based on
              loc then wind a call on all subvol to update xattr.
   
    Fix:    1) Save MDS subvol on inode ctx
            2) Check if mds subvol is present on inode ctx
            3) If mds subvol is down then call unwind with error ENOTCONN and if it is up
               then set new xattr "GF_DHT_XATTR_MDS" to -1 and wind a call on other
               subvol.
            4) If setxattr fop is successful on non-mds subvol then increment the value of
               internal xattr to +1
            5) At the time of directory_lookup check the value of new xattr GF_DHT_XATTR_MDS
            6) If value is not 0 in dht_lookup_dir_cbk(other cbk) functions then call heal
               function to heal user xattr
            7) syncop_setxattr on hashed_subvol to reset the value of xattr to 0
               if heal is successful on all subvol.
   
    Test : To reproduce the issue followed below steps
           1) Create a distributed volume and create mount point
           2) Create some directory from mount point mkdir tmp{1..5}
           3) Kill any one brick from the volume
           4) Set extended attribute from mount point on directory
              setfattr -n user.foo -v "abc" ./tmp{1..5}
              It will throw error " Transport End point is not connected "
              for those hashed subvol is down
           5) Start volume with force option to start brick process
           6) Execute getfattr command on mount point for directory
           7) Check extended attribute on brick
              getfattr -n user.foo <volume-location>/tmp{1..5}
              It shows correct value for directories for those
              xattr fop were executed successfully.
   
    Note: The patch will resolve xattr healing problem only for fuse mount
          not for nfs mount.
