Re: WORM-Xlator: How to get filepath in worm_create_cbk?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello Rafi,
storing the parent inode in frame->local from worm_create() succeed, but now there is another error. Its frustrating, so I gave it up and proceed with my initial solution:
In worm_create() I check via helper function (using loc->path) , if the file should be ready for WORM or not. If not I set frame->local with gf_true and catch the value in worm_create_cbk to skip setting the xattr. It is working stable!

Hi David,

As I said earlier the inode is not linked with itable, so similar to inode_path, inode_parent also won't work. We need to remember the parent inode during the worm_create. May be we can store it in the frame->local by creating a struct(if we have more than 2 elements to remember), or simply store it in the frame->local = inode_ref(loc->parent). Please make sure to unref/free the local.

Hello Rafi,
I understand. I first tried the way with the parent inode. I did it this way:

inode_t *parent_inode = NULL;
char *filepath = NULL;
parent_inode = inode_parent(inode, NULL, NULL); // also with fd->inode it didn't work
if (!parent_inode) {
  gf_log(this->name, GF_LOG_ERROR, "Can't get parent inode!");
}
inode_path(parent_inode, NULL, &filepath);
if (!filepath) {
   gf_log(this->name, GF_LOG_ERROR, "Can't get filepath!");
}

But it didn't work. See brick log:
[2020-02-05 13:39:56.408915] E [worm.c:489:worm_create_cbk] 0-repo2-worm: Can't get parent inode!
[2020-02-05 13:39:56.408941] E [worm.c:495:worm_create_cbk] 0-repo2-worm: Can't get filepath!

What could be wrong? If this way promise no succeed I will try out the other approach you suggested.

I do the following in worm_create_cbk:

inode_path(inode, NULL, &filepath);

Unfortunately I got this in the brick log:

The inode I use seems to be not valid because inode_path() returns with error. The same with fd->inode. Is there a way to validate the inode before passing it to the function?

This inode hasn't linked yet to the inode table(creation is still in progress), that will only happens at server4_post_create from the server xlator which is the last xlator in the cbk path. That is why the inode_path creation is failed. Why don't you use parent inode to create the path, I believe parent inode will work for you.


If all the files and folders in the special directory follows the same property, An alternative approach is to use an inode type to distinguish this special directory and dentries on it. Something similar to snapview-client which uses virtual inode to distinguish the .snap folder.

Dear Gluster Community,
in worm_create_cbk a file gets the xattr "trusted.worm_file" and "trusted.start_time" if worm-file-level is enabled. Now I want to exclude some files in a special folder from the WORM function. Therefore I want to check in worm_create_cbk if the file is in this folder or not. But I don't find a parameter where the filepath is stored. So my alternative solution was, to check it in worm_create (via loc->path) and store a boolean value in frame->local. This boolean value will be used in worm_create_cbk later. But its not my favourite solution.
 
Do you know how to get the filepath in the cbk function?


As per FS guidelines, inside the filesystem, we need to handle inodes or parent-inode + basename. If you are looking at building a 'path' info in create_cbk, then i recommend using 'inode_path()' to build the path as per the latest inode table information.
