Ladvise lockahead is a new feature allowing userspace to
request extent locks in advance of the IO which will use
them. These locks are not expanded beyond the size
requested by userspace.  They are intended to make it
possible to address lock contention between multiple
clients resulting from lock expansion.  They should allow
optimizing various IO patterns, notably strided writing.
(Further information in LU-6179)

Asynchronous glimpse locks are a speculative version of
glimpse locks, and already implement the required behavior.
Lockahead requests share this behavior.

Additionally, lockahead creates extent locks in advance
of IO, and so breaks the assumption that the holder of the
highest lock knows the current file size.

So we also modify the ofd_intent_policy code to glimpse
PW locks until it finds one it knows to be in use, taking
care to send only one glimpse to each client.

The current patch allows asynchronous non-blocking lock
ahead requests and synchronous blocking requests.  We
cannot do asynchronous blocking requests, because of
deadlocks that occur in having ptlrpcd threads handle
blocking lock requests.

Finally, this patch also adds another advice to disable
lock expansion, setting a per-file descriptor flag.  This
allows user space to control whether or not lock requests
on this file descriptor will undergo lock expansion.

This means if lockahead locks are not created ahead of IO
(due to inherent raciness) or are cancelled by a competing
IO request, the IO requests that should have used the
manually requested locks will not result in expanded locks.
This avoids lock ping-pong, and because the resulting locks
will not extend to the end of the file, future lockahead
requests can be granted.  Effectively, this means that if
lockahead usage for strided IO is interrupted by a
competing request, it can re-assert itself.

lockahead is implented via the ladvise interface from
userspace. As lockahead results in a DLM lock request
rather than file advice, we do not use the lower levels of
the ladvise implementation.

Note this patch has one oddity:
Cray released an earlier version of lockahead without
FL_SPECULATIVE support.  That version uses
OBD_CONNECT_LOCKAHEAD_OLD, this new one uses
OBD_CONNECT_LOCKAHEAD.

The client code in this patch is interoperable with that
version, so it also advertises OBD_CONNECT_LOCKAHEAD_OLD
support, but the server version is not, so the server
advertises only OBD_CONNECT_LOCKAHEAD support.

Client support for the original lockahead is slated for
removal after the release of 2.12.  This is enforced with
a compile time version test that will remove support.

+Ladvise Lock Ahead design
+
+Lock ahead is a new Lustre feature aimed at solving a long standing problem
+with shared file write performance in Lustre.  It requires client and server
+support.  It will be used primarily via the MPI-I/O library, not directly from
+user applications.
+
+The first part of this document (sections 1 and 2) is an overview of the
+problem and high level description of the solution.  Section 3 explains how the
+library will make use of this feature, and sections 4 and 5 describe the design
+of the Lustre changes.
+
+1. Overview: Purpose & Interface
+Lock ahead is intended to allow optimization of certain I/O patterns which
+would otherwise suffer LDLM* lock contention.  It allows applications to
+manually request locks on specific extents of a file, avoiding the usual
+server side optimizations. This applications which know their I/O pattern to
+use that information to avoid false conflicts due to server side optimizations.
+
+*Lustre distributed lock manager.  This is the locking layer shared between
+clients and servers, to manage access between clients.
+
+Normally, clients get locks automatically as the first step of an I/O.
+The client asks for a lock which covers exactly the area of interest (ie, a
+read or write lock of n bytes at offset x), but the server attempts to optimize
+this by expanding the lock to cover as much of the file as possible.  This is
+useful for a single client, but can be trouble for multiple clients.
+
+In cases where multiple clients wish to write to the same file, this
+optimization can result in locks that conflict when the actual I/O operations
+do not.  This requires clients to wait for one another to complete I/O, even
+when there is no conflict between actual I/O requests.  This can significantly
+reduce performance (Anywhere from 40-90%, depending on system specs) for some
+workloads.
+
+The lockahead feature makes it possible to avoid this problem by acquiring the
+necessary locks in advance, by explicit requests with server side extent
+changes disabled.  We add a new lfs advice type, LU_LADVISE_LOCKAHEAD,
+which allows lock requests from userspace on the client, specifying the extent
+and the I/O mode (read/write) for the lock.  These lock requests explicitly
+disable server side changes to the lock extent, so the lock returned to the
+client covers only the extent requested.
+
+When using this feature, clients which intend to write to a file can request
+locks to cover their I/O pattern, wait a moment for the locks to be granted,
+then write or read the file.
+
+In this way, a set of clients which knows their I/O pattern in advance can
+force the LDLM layer to grant locks appropriate for that I/O pattern.  This
+allows applications which are poorly handled by the default lock optimization
+behavior to significantly improve their performance.
+
+2. I/O Pattern & Locking problems
+2. A. Strided writing and MPI-I/O
+There is a thorough explanation and overview of strided writing and the
+benefits of this functionality in the slides from the lock ahead presentation
+at LUG 2015.  It is highly recommended to read that first, as the graphics are
+much clearer than the prose here.
+
+See slides 1-13:
+http://wiki.lustre.org/images/f/f9/Shared-File-Performance-in-Lustre_Farrell.pdf
+
+MPI-I/O uses strided writing when doing I/O from a large job to a single file.
+I/O is aggregated from all the nodes running a particular application to a
+small number of I/O aggregator nodes which then write out the data, in a
+strided manner.
+
+In strided writing, different clients take turns writing different blocks of a
+file (A block is some arbitrary number of bytes).  Client 1 is responsible for
+writes to block 0, block 2, block 4, etc., client 2 is responsible for block 1,
+block 3, etc.
+
+Without the ability to manually request locks, strided writing is set up in
+concert with Lustre file striping so each client writes to one OST.  (IE, for a
+file striped to three OSTs, we would write from three clients.)
+
+The particular case of interest is when we want to use more than one client
+per OST.  This is important, because an OST typically has much more bandwidth
+than one client.  Strided writes are non-overlapping, so they should be able to
+proceed in parallel with more than one client per OST.  In practice, on Lustre,
+they do not, due to lock expansion.
+
+2. B. Locking problems
+We will now describe locking when there is more than one client per OST.  This
+behavior is the same on a per OST basis in a file striped across multiple OSTs.
+When the first client asks to write block 0, it asks for the required lock from
+the server.  When it receives this request, the server sees that there are no
+other locks on the file.  Since it assumes the client will want to write to the
+file again, the server expands the lock as far as possible.  In this case, it
+expands the lock to the maximum file size (effectively, to infinity), then
+grants it to client 1.
+
+When client 2 wants to write block 1, it conflicts with the expanded lock
+granted to client 1.  The server then must revoke (In Lustre terms,
+'call back') the lock granted to client 1 so it can grant a lock to client 2.
+After the lock granted to client is revoked, there are no locks on the file.
+The server sees this when processing the lock request from client 2, and
+expands that lock to cover the whole file.
+
+Client 1 then wishes to write block 3 of the file...  And the cycle continues.
+The two clients exchange the extended lock throughout the write, allowing only
+one client to write at a time, plus latency to exchange the lock.  The effect is
+dramatic: Two clients are actually slower than one.  (Similar behavior is seen
+with more than two clients.)
+
+The solution is to use this new advice type to acquire locks before they are
+needed.  In effect, before it starts writing to the file, client 1 requests
+locks on block 0, block 2, etc. It locks 'ahead' a certain (tunable) number of
+locks. Client 2 does the same.  Then they both begin to write, and are able to
+do so in parallel.  A description of the actual library implementation follows.
+
+3. Library implementation
+Actually implementing this in the library carries a number of wrinkles.
+The basic pattern is this:
+Before writing, an I/O aggregator requests a certain number of locks on blocks
+that it is responsible for.  It may or may not ever write to these blocks, but
+it takes locks knowing it might.  It then begins to write, tracking how many of
+the locks it has used.  When the number of locks 'ahead' of the I/O is low
+enough, it requests more locks in advance of the I/O.
+
+For technical reasons which are explained in the implementation section, these
+lock requests are either asynchronous and non-blocking or synchronous and
+blocking.  In Lustre terms, non-blocking means if there is already a lock on
+the relevant extent of the file, the manual lock request is not granted.  This
+means that if there is already a lock on the file (quite common; imagine
+writing to a file which was previously read by another process), these lock
+requests will be denied.  However, once the first 'real' write arrives that
+was hoping to use a lockahead lock, that write will cause the blocking lock to
+be cancelled, so this interference is not fatal.
+
+It is of course possible for another process to get in the way by immediately
+asking for a lock on the file.  This is something users should try to avoid.
+When writing out a file, repeatedly trying to read it will impact performance
+even without this feature.
+
+These interfering locks can also happen if a manually requested lock is, for
+some reason, not available in time for the write which intended to use it.
+The lock which results from this write request is expanded using the
+normal rules.  So it's possible for that lock (depending on the position of
+other locks at the time) to be extended to cover the rest of the file.  That
+will block future lockahead locks.
+
+The expanded lock will be revoked when a write happens (from another client)
+in the range covered by that lock, but the lock for that write will be expanded
+as well - And then we return to handing the lock back and forth between
+clients.  These expanded locks will still block future lockahead locks,
+rendering them useless.
+
+The way to avoid this is to turn off lock expansion for I/Os which are
+supposed to be using these manually requested locks.  That way, if the
+manually requested lock is not available, the lock request for the I/O will not
+be expanded.  Instead, that request (which is blocking, unlike a lockahead
+request) will cancel any interfering locks, but the resulting lock will not be
+expanded.  This leaves the later parts of the file open, allowing future
+manual lock requests to succeed.  This means that if an interfering lock blocks
+some manual requests, those are lost, but the next set of manual requests can
+proceed as normal.
+
+In effect, the 'locking ahead of I/O' is interrupted, but then is able to
+re-assert itself. The feature used here is referred to as 'no expansion'
+locking (as only the extent required by the actual I/O operation is locked)
+and is turned on with another new ladvise advice, LU_LADVISE_NOEXPAND.  This
+feature is added as part of the lockahead patch.  The strided writing library
+will use this advice on the file descriptor it uses for writing.
+
+4. Client side design
+4. A. Ladvise lockahead
+Requestlock uses the existing asynchronous lock request functionality
+implemented for asynchronous glimpse locks (AGLs), a long standing Lustre
+feature.  AGLs are locks which are requested by statahead, which are used to
+get file size information before it's requested.  The key thing about an
+asynchronous lock request is that it does not have a specific I/O operation
+waiting for the lock.
+
+This means two key things:
+
+1. There is no OSC lock (lock layer above LDLM for data locking) associated
+with the LDLM lock
+2. There is no thread waiting for the LDLM lock, so lock grant processing
+must be handled by the ptlrpc daemon thread which received the reply
+
+Since both of these issues are addressed by the asynchronous lock request code
+which lockahead shares with AGL, we will not explore them in depth here.
+
+Finally, lockahead requests set the CEF_LOCK_NO_EXPAND flag, which tells the
+OSC (the per OST layer of the client) to set LDLM_FL_NO_EXPANSION on any lock
+requests.  LDLM_FL_NO_EXPANSION is a new LDLM lock flag which tells the server
+not to expand the lock extent.
+
+This leaves the user facing interface.  Requestlock is implemented as a new
+ladvise advice, and it uses the ladvise feature of multiple advices in one API
+call to put many lock requests in to an array of advices.
+
+The arguments required for this advice are a mode (read or write), range (start
+and end), and flags.
+
+The client will then make lock requests on these extents, one at a time.
+Because the lock requests are asynchronous (replies are handled by ptlrpcd),
+many requests can be made quickly by overlapping them, rather than waiting for
+each one to complete.  (This requires that they be non-blocking, as the
+ptlrpcd threads must not wait in the ldlm layer.)
+
+4. B. LU_LADVISE_LOCKNOEXPAND
+The lock no expand ladvise advice sets a boolean in a Lustre data structure
+associated with a file descriptor.  When an I/O is done to this file
+descriptor, the flag is picked up and passed through to the ldlm layer, where
+it sets LDLM_FL_NO_EXPANSION on lock requests made for that I/O.
+
+5. Server side changes
+Implementing lockahead requires server support for LDLM_FL_NO_EXPANSION, but
+it also required an additional pair of server side changes to fix issues which
+came up because of lockahead.  These changes are not part of the core design
+instead, they are separate fixes which are required for it to work.
+
+5. A. Support LDLM_FL_NO_EXPANSION
+
+Disabling server side lock expansion is done with a new LDLM flag.  This is
+done with a simple check for that flag on the server before attempting to
+expand the lock.  If the flag is found, lock expansion is skipped.
+
+5. B. Implement LDLM_FL_SPECULATIVE
+
+As described above, lock ahead locks are non-blocking. The BLOCK_NOWAIT LDLM
+flag is used now to implement some nonblocking behavior, but it only considers
+group locks blocking.  But, for asynchronous lock requests to work correctly,
+they cannot wait for any other locks.  For this purpose, we add
+LDLM_FL_SPECULATIVE.  This new flag is used for asynchronous lock requests,
+and implements the broader non-blocking behavior they require.
+
+5. C. File size & ofd_intent_policy changes
+
+Knowing the current file size during writes is tricky on a distributed file
+system, because multiple clients can be writing to a file at any time.  When
+writes are in progress, the server must identify which client is currently
+responsible for growing the file size, and ask that client what the file size
+is.
+
+To do this, the server uses glimpse locking (in ofd_intent_policy) to get the
+current file size from the clients.  This code uses the assumption that the
+holder of the highest write lock (PW lock) knows the current file size.  A
+client learns the (then current) file size when a lock is granted.  Because
+only the holder of the highest lock can grow a file, either the size hasn't
+changed, or that client knows the new size; so the server only has to contact
+the client which holds this lock, and it knows the current file size.
+
+Note that the above is actually racy. When the server asks, the client can
+still be writing, or another client could acquire a higher lock during this
+time.  The goal is a good approximation while the file is being written, and a
+correct answer once all the clients are done writing.  This is achieved because
+once writes to a file are complete, the holder of that highest lock is
+guaranteed to know the current file size.  This is where manually requested
+locks cause trouble.
+
+By creating write locks in advance of an actual I/O, lockahead breaks the
+assumption that the holder of the highest lock knows the file size.
+
+This assumption is normally true because locks which are created as part of
+IO - rather than in advance of it - are guaranteed to be 'active', IE,
+involved in IO, and the holder of the highest 'active' lock always knows the
+current file size, because the size is either not changing or the holder of
+that lock is responsible for updating it.
+
+Consider:  Two clients, A and B, strided writing.  Each client requests, for
+example, 2 manually requested locks.  (Real numbers are much higher.)  Client A
+holds locks on segments 0 and 2, client B holds locks on segments 1 and 3.
+
+The request comes to write 3 segments of data.  Client A writes to segment 0,
+client B writes to segment 1, and client A also writes to segment 2.  No data
+is written to segment 3.  At this point, the server checks the file size, by
+glimpsing the highest lock . The lock on segment 3.  Client B does not know
+about the writing done by client A to segment 2, so it gives an incorrect file
+size.
+
+This would be OK if client B had pending writes to segment 3, but it does not.
+In this situation, the server will never get the correct file size while this
+lock exists.
+
+The solution is relatively straightforward: The server needs to glimpse every
+client holding a write lock (starting from the top) until we find one holding
+an 'active' lock (because the size is known to be at least the size returned
+from an 'active' lock), and take the largest size returned. This avoids asking
+only a client which may not know the correct file size.
+
+Unfortunately, there is no way to know if a manually requested lock is active
+from the server side.  So when we see such a lock, we must send a glimpse to
+the holder (unless we have already sent a glimpse to that client*).  However,
+because locks without LDLM_FL_NO_EXPANSION set are guaranteed to be 'active',
+once we reach the first such lock, we can stop glimpsing.
+
+*This is because when we glimpse a specific lock, the client holding it returns
+its best idea of the size information, so we only need to send one glimpse to
+each client.
+
+This is less efficient than the standard "glimpse only the top lock"
+methodology, but since we only need to glimpse one lock per client (and the
+number of clients writing to the part of a file on a given OST is fairly
+limited), the cost is restrained.
+
+Additionally, lock cancellation methods such as early lock cancel aggressively
+clean up older locks, particularly when the LRU limit is exceeded, so the
+total lock count should also remain manageable.
+
+In the end, the final verdict here is performance. Requestlock testing for the
+strided I/O case has shown good performance results.
