Problem:
Directory vxattrs like ceph.dir.pin* and ceph.dir.layout* may not be
propagated to the client as frequently to keep them updated. This
creates vxattr availability problems.

Solution:
Adds new getvxattr op to fetch ceph.dir.pin*, ceph.dir.layout* and
ceph.file.layout* vxattrs.
If the entire layout for a dir or a file is being set, then it is
expected that the layout be set in standard JSON format. Individual
field value retrieval is not wrapped in JSON. The JSON format also
applies while setting the vxattr if the entire layout is being set in
one go.
As a temporary measure, setting a vxattr can also be done in the old
format. The old format will be deprecated in the future.

The kernel uses tab indent almost exclusively. Can you fix the indention
above (and anywhere else I missed)?

This part, I'm not so crazy about. This list will be hard to keep in
sync with the userland code and you're almost guaranteed to have a
mismatch between what the kernel and userland supports since they're on
different release schedules.

I think what we probably ought to do is run the ceph_match_vxattr call
first, and if it doesn't match the name and the name starts with
"ceph.", then we'll send a GETVXATTR call to the MDS.

Sound ok?

I was trying to preempt a getvxattr call if the full xattr name was invalid.
I could just test for the prefixes: ceph.dir.pin, ceph.dir.layout and
ceph.file.layout and send them over. Eventually, we'll get an ENODATA
if xattr name validation fails on the MDS side.

The problem with doing a ceph_match_vxattr() first is that it will succeed
for any of these vxattrs, but we'll land in the same place as the one you've
described in the tracker.
The very idea of implementing getvxattr is to bypass the existing "cached"
service mechanism for special vxattrs.

Huh, why? That seems like the point of the whole bug. We need a way to
hand vxattrs that the client doesn't recognize off to the MDS so it can
satisfy the request.

I don't get it. What's the benefit of calling out to the MDS to ask for
ceph.file.layout.pool instead of just satisfying it from the info we
have?

I'd prefer we just add a fallback for "ceph.*" vxattrs that for which we
don't have a local handler.

File and dir layout vxattrs are server-side xattrs. So, it seemed prudent to
delegate them to the server. The idea was also to help identify layouts and
their inheritance for a dir hierarchy or a file at the server side and possibly
avoiding client round trips to the server for learning about the same (and
maintain consistency?)

Here's some discussion about the same:

I don't see how this solution results in fewer calls to the MDS, and I
don't agree that it's prudent to call up the MDS to satisfy a request
for info that we already have.

I opened the bug and have been following it. I don't see any discussion
about delegating getxattr for a bunch of existing vxattrs to the MDS.
The bug is that you can set some vxattrs without being able to query
them.

I see your explanation, but it doesn't outline the benefit of sending
these requests to the MDS instead of just satisfying them locally. What
good does that do?

I also think you're missing another point: someone will need to keep
this vxattr whitelist in sync, and it will be a maintenance headache.
It'll also result in a worse experience for users.

Suppose we add some new ceph.dir.foo vxattr on the MDS and backport that
to a point release. That attribute will not be accessible until someone
also adds it to the whitelist in the client.

At that point, it may be *years* before users can access that vxattr.
They'll not only have to wait for the MDS to get the patch that adds the
new vxattr, but also for a client that has it in the whitelist.

If however, you do this the way I'm suggesting, once the MDS supports
the new vxattr, it'll be usable, and we won't have to continually patch
the kernel to support new attributes.

hmm ... well, then I'll just have to remove layout and pin vxattrs from the
list of vxattrs being supported by the client instead of maintaining the
whitelist for getvxattr.
In the code, if the vxatrr is not found in the client supported list, the code
will drop down to the else case with getvxattr support.
I think I finally got around to what you were trying to say.
