MDS internal data structures
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
*CInode*
|
|
CInode contains the metadata of a file, there is one CInode for each file.
|
|
The CInode stores information like who owns the file, how big the file is.
|
|
|
|
*CDentry*
|
|
CDentry is the glue that holds inodes and files together by relating inode to
|
|
file/directory names. A CDentry links to at most one CInode (it may not link
|
|
to any CInode). A CInode may be linked by multiple CDentries.
|
|
|
|
*CDir*
|
|
CDir only exists for directory inode, it's used to link CDentries under the
|
|
directory. A CInode can have multiple CDir when the directory is fragmented.
|
|
|
|
These data structures are linked together as::
|
|
|
|
CInode
|
|
CDir
|
|

|
|

CDentry CDentry

CInode CInode
|
|
CDir CDir

|
|

|

|
|
CDentry CDentry CDentry
|
|
CInode CInode CInode
|
|
|
|
As this doc is being written, size of CInode is about 1400 bytes, size of CDentry
|
|
is about 400 bytes, size of CDir is about 700 bytes. These data structures are
|
|
quite large. Please be careful if you want to add new fields to them.
|
|
|
|
*OpenFileTable*
|
|
Open file table tracks open files and their ancestor directories. Recovering
|
|
MDS can easily get open files' pathes, significantly reducing the time of
|
|
loading inodes for open files. Each entry in the table corresponds to an inode,
|
|
it records linkage information (parent inode and dentry name) of the inode. MDS
|
|
can constructs the inode's path by recursively lookup parent inode's linkage.
|
|
Open file table is stored in omap of RADOS objects, table entries correspond to
|
|
KV pairs in omap.
