主题: [About the IDS and LEASE file in VDSM] Why don't merge those two files into one
file with the different file offset?

Hi, all

I hava a question about the IDS and lease file in the VDSM. In the demo code of sanlock,
these two files are contained in the same file.

In the VDSM 4.09, the offset of IDS is 0. However, the value of offset in version 4.10 is
'SDM_LEASE_OFFSET = 512 * 2048'. The comment in the code explains that the
differences for them are just for upgrade.

According to my understanding, the content of IDS file contains the current cluster lock
of the domain, and those in Lease file are the heart-beat info.

Why don't merge those two files into one file with the different file offset? In
4.09/4.10, we maintance two files. I think that 'two files' is much more complex
than 'one file'.

Could anyone explain this for me?

Thx




sample code in sanlock(version 2.7), the cluster lock and heart-beat info are contained in
'disk':


HOST_ID = 1
LOCKSPACE_NAME = "lockspace1"
RESOURCE_NAME = "resource1"

def main():
    print "Creating the sanlock disk"
    fd, disk = tempfile.mkstemp()                        # the lease file and ids file are
contained in ‘disk’
    os.close(fd)

    offset = sanlock.get_alignment(disk)

    SNLK_DISKS = [(disk, offset)]

    print "Registering to sanlock"
    fd = sanlock.register()

    print "Initializing '%s'" % (LOCKSPACE_NAME,)
    sanlock.write_lockspace(LOCKSPACE_NAME, disk)

    print "Initializing '%s' on '%s'" % (RESOURCE_NAME,
LOCKSPACE_NAME)
    sanlock.write_resource(LOCKSPACE_NAME, RESOURCE_NAME, SNLK_DISKS)

    print "Acquiring the id '%i' on '%s'" % (HOST_ID,
LOCKSPACE_NAME)
    sanlock.add_lockspace(LOCKSPACE_NAME, HOST_ID, disk)

    try:
        print "Acquiring '%s' on '%s'" % (RESOURCE_NAME,
LOCKSPACE_NAME)
        sanlock.acquire(LOCKSPACE_NAME, RESOURCE_NAME, SNLK_DISKS, slkfd=fd,
                        version=0)
        print "Releasing '%s' on '%s'" % (RESOURCE_NAME,
LOCKSPACE_NAME)
        sanlock.release(LOCKSPACE_NAME, RESOURCE_NAME, SNLK_DISKS, slkfd=fd)
    finally:
        print "Releasing the id '%i' on '%s'" % (HOST_ID,
LOCKSPACE_NAME)
        sanlock.rem_lockspace(LOCKSPACE_NAME, HOST_ID, disk)

    print "Removing the sanlock disk"
    os.remove(disk)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
