==================
Public OSD Version
==================
We maintain two versions on disk: an eversion_t pg_log.head and a
version_t info.user_version. Each object is tagged with both the pg
version and user_version it was last modified with. The PG version is
modified by manipulating OpContext::at_version and then persisting it
to the pg log as transactions, and is incremented in all the places it
used to be. The user_version is modified by manipulating the new
OpContext::user_at_version and is also persisted via the pg log
transactions.
user_at_version is modified only in ReplicatedPG::prepare_transaction
when the op was a "user modify" (a non-watch write), and the durable
user_version is updated according to the following rules:
1) set user_at_version to the maximum of ctx->new_obs.oi.user_version+1
and info.last_user_version+1.
2) set user_at_version to the maximum of itself and
ctx->at_version.version.
3) ctx->new_obs.oi.user_version = ctx->user_at_version (to change the
object's user_version)
This set of update semantics mean that for traditional pools the
user_version will be equal to the past reassert_version, while for
caching pools the object and PG user-version will be able to cross
pools without making a total mess of things.
In order to support old clients, we keep the old reassert_version but
rename it to "bad_replay_version"; we fill it in as before: for writes
it is set to the at_version (and is the proper replay version); for
watches it is set to our user version; for ENOENT replies it is set to
the replay version's epoch but the user_version's version. We also now
fill in the version_t portion of the bad_replay_version on read ops as
well as write ops, which should be fine for all old clients.
For new clients, we prevent them from reading bad_replay_version and
add two proper members: user_version and replay_version; user_version
is filled in on every operation (reads included) while replay_version
is filled in for writes.
The objclass function get_current_version() now always returns the
pg->info.last_user_version, which means it is guaranteed to contain
the version of the last user update in the PG (including on reads!).
