* [svn-r25664] merge 25661 from trunk.Mohamad Chaarawi2014-10-031-1/+1
| | | | | | Update the default setting for the memb_addr array when use passes NULL to equally divide all the address space between all the members. Before there was one chunk of the address space not being used.
* [svn-r25621] merge 25620 from trunk.Mohamad Chaarawi2014-09-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | Fix a bug in multi VFD when the memb_addr in H5Pset_fapl_multi is passed as NULL. The library is supposed in that case to equally divide the address space among all members, but there was a bug causing an overflow in the assignment.

* [svn-r24032] Description:Quincey Koziol2013-08-201-120/+0
| | | | | | | | | | Bring r24030 from trunk to 1.8 branch: Clean up more compiler warnings. Tested on: Mac OSX/64 10.8.4 (amazon) w/gcc, C++ & FORTRAN (too minor to require h5committest)
* [svn-r23570] Merged r23508 from the trunk.Dana Robinson2013-04-101-28/+0
| | | | | | | This removes some dead code that belonged to the multi dxpl functions that were removed in HDF5 1.8.11. Tested on: jam w/ C++ (minor change)
* [svn-r23500] Merge r23366 from trunk. Fixes HDFFV-8296.Dana Robinson2013-03-301-144/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | Removed the H5Pset_dxpl_multi and H5Pget_dxpl_multi functions from the library. The intended functionality for them was never fully implemented and they are fundamentally broken. The functions were removed from the C and C++ interfaces. They were not exported in the Fortran interface. Tested on jam

Fixed by using STDOUT_FILENO and redesign parse_command_line and main to cleanup file allocations. The output_file var is null when using stdout. In cleanup do not close output_file if NULL. r20510: Initialize ufid = -1 and predicate HDclose call on ufid != -1 r20511: Purpose: Fix coverity issue 1715 Description: Free "file" and nested data on failure in H5FD_core_open. r20512: Initialize ifid = -1 and predicate HDclose call on ifid != -1 r20514: Initialize h5fid = -1 and predicate HDclose call on h5fid != -1 r20516: Added else branch to the if (ret_value < 0) check. r20522: Addressed coverity issues 930-933, 850, 836, 835, 1307. All minor potential buffer overwrite bugs, or coverity errors. Fixed by replacing strcpy and sprintf with strncpy and snprintf. r20523: fixed coverity issues 68, 1120, 1116i r20524: Check H5Z_SZIP->encoder_present < 1 assuming 0 represents absence. r20601: Purpose: Fix coverity issues 1703-1705 Description: Modified the cleanup code in test_free in accum.c to reset allocated buffers to NULL after they are freed, and modified the error cleanup code to check if these buffers are NULL before freeing them. Also fixed some unrelated warnings in accum.c. r20602: Use HDsnprintf and HDstrncat r20603: Purpose: Fix coverity issues 808-809 Description: Modified test_core in vfd.c to check the returns from malloc, and keep track of whether points and check are allocated by setting them to NULL when they are not. Added code to free points and check on error if they are not NULL. Also fixed unrelated warnings in vfd.c. r20604: Use HDstrncpy. r20605: Use HDstrncpy and HDstrncat. r20606: Purpose: Fix coverity issue 807 Description: Modified long_compact in stab.c to keep track of whether objname is allocated by setting it to NULL when it is not. Added code to free objname on error if it is not NULL. r20607: Changed string function calls to use versions that specify the string length to fix coverity issues 832 and 839. Tested on: Mac OSX/64 10.8.2 (amazon) (Too minor to require h5committest)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | whole MULTI file saved in the super block. We took it out in v1.8 library because it's meaningless for the MULTI file. v1.8 library saves the EOA for the metadata file, instead. But this caused some backward compatibility problem. v1.8 library couldn't open the file created with v1.6 library. I fixed the problem by checking the EOA value to detect the file created with v1.6 library. Tested on jam, koala, and linew.

| | | | | | | | | | | | This feature is still in progress; Shared Object Header Messages are not complete as a feature and are not thoroughly tested. There are still "TODO" comments in the code (comments with the word "JAMES" in them, so as not to be confused with other TODO comments). Hopefully this checkin will reduce the liklihood of conflicts as I finish implementing this feature. All current tests pass on juniper, copper (parallel), heping, kagiso, and mir.

WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! This initiates the "unstable" phase of the 1.7.x branch, leading up to the 1.8.0 release. Please test this code, but do _NOT_ keep files created with it - the format will change again before the release and you will not be able to read your old files!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! Solution: There's too many changes to really describe them all, but some of them include: - Stop abusing the H5G_entry_t structure and split it into two separate structures for non-symbol table node use within the library: H5O_loc_t for object locations in a file and H5G_name_t to store the path to an opened object. H5G_entry_t is now only used for storing symbol table entries on disk. - Retire H5G_namei() in favor of a more general mechanism for traversing group paths and issuing callbacks on objects located. This gets us out of the business of hacking H5G_namei() for new features, generally. - Revised H5O* routines to take a H5O_loc_t instead of H5G_entry_t - Lots more... Platforms tested: h5committested and maybe another dozen configurations.... :-)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Repair synchronization bug in the metadata cache in PHDF5 Also repair numerous other bugs that surfaced in testing the bug fix. Description: While operations modifying metadata must be collective, we allow independant reads. This allows metadata caches on different processes to adjust to different sizes, and to place the entries on their dirty lists in different orders. Since only process 0 actually writes metadata to disk (all other processes thought they did, but the writes were discarded on the theory that they had to be collective), this made it possible for another process to modify metadata, flush it, and then read it back in in its original form (pre-modification) form. The possibilities for file corruption should be obvious. Solution: Make the policy that only process 0 can write to file explicit, and visible to the metadata caches. Thus only process 0 may flush dirty entries -- all other caches must retain dirty entries until they are informed by process 0 that the entries are clean. Synchronization is handled by counting the bytes of dirty cache entries created, and then synching up between the caches whenever the sum exceeds an (eventually user specified) limit. Dirty metadata creation is consistent across all processes because all operations modifying metadata must be collective. This change uncovered may bugs which are repaired in this checkin. It also required modification of H5HL and H5O to allocate file space on insertion rather than on flush from cache. Platforms tested: H5committest, heping(parallel & serial) Misc. update:

However, in the process of merging code back, things got stickier and stickier until I ended up doing a big "sync the two branches up" operation. So... I brought back all the "infrastructure" fixes from the development branch to the release branch (which I think were actually making some improvement in performance) as well as fixed several bugs which had been fixed in one branch, but not the other.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug Fix Description: Metadata cache in parallel I/O can cause hangs in applications which perform independent I/O on chunked datasets, because the metadata cache can attempt to flush out dirty metadata from only a single process, instead of collectively from all processes. Solution: Pass a dataset transfer property list down from every API function which could possibly trigger metadata I/O. Then, split the metadata cache into two sets of entries to allow dirty metadata to be set aside when a hash table collision occurs during independent I/O.

Description: Performance Improvements: - Cached file offset & length sizes in shared file struct, to avoid constantly looking them up in the FCPL. - Generic property improvements: - Added "revision" number to generic property classes to speed up comparisons. - Changed method of storing properties from using a hash-table to the TBBT routines in the library. - Share the propery names between classes and the lists derived from them. - Removed redundant 'def_value' buffer from each property. - Switching code to use a "copy on write" strategy for properties in each list, where the properties in each list are shared with the properties in the class, until a property's value is changed in a list. - Fixed error in layout code which was allocating too many buffers. - Redefined public macros of the form (H5open()/H5check, <variable>) internally to only be (<variable>), avoiding innumerable useless calls to H5open() and H5check_version(). - Reuse already zeroed buffers in H5F_contig_fill instead of constantly re-zeroing them. - Don't write fill values if writing entire dataset. - Use gettimeofday() system call instead of time() system when checking the modification time of a dataset. - Added reference counted string API and use it for tracking the names of objects opening in a file (for the ID->name code). - Removed redundant H5P_get() calls in B-tree routines. - Redefine H5T datatype macros internally to the library, to avoid calling H5check redundantly. - Keep dataspace information for dataset locally instead of reading from disk each time. Added new module to track open objects in a file, to allow this (which will be useful eventually for some FPH5 metadata caching issues). - Remove H5AC_find macro which was inlining metadata cache lookups, and call function instead. - Remove redundant memset() calls from H5G_namei() routine. - Remove redundant checking of object type when locating objects in metadata cache and rely on the address only. - Create default dataset object to use when default dataset creation property list is used to create datasets, bypassing querying for all the property list values. - Use default I/O vector size when performing raw data with the default dataset transfer property list, instead of querying for I/O vector size. - Remove H5P_DEFAULT internally to the library, replacing it with more specific default property list based on the type of property list needed. - Remove redundant memset() calls in object header message (H5O*) routines. - Remove redunant memset() calls in data I/O routines. - Split free-list allocation routines into malloc() and calloc()- like routines, instead of one combined routine. - Remove lots of indirection in H5O*() routines. - Simplify metadata cache entry comparison routine (used when flushing entire cache out). - Only enable metadata cache statistics when H5AC_DEBUG is turned on, instead of always tracking them. - Simplify address comparison macro (H5F_addr_eq). - Remove redundant metadata cache entry protections during dataset creation by protecting the object header once and making all the modifications necessary for the dataset creation before unprotecting it. - Reduce # of "number of element in extent" computations performed by computing and storing the value during dataspace creation. - Simplify checking for group location's file information, when file has not been involving in file-mounting operations. - Use binary encoding for modification time, instead of ASCII. - Hoist H5HL_peek calls (to get information in a local heap) out of loops in many group routine. - Use static variable for iterators of selections, instead of dynamically allocation them each time. - Lookup & insert new entries in one step, avoiding traversing group's B-tree twice. - Fixed memory leak in H5Gget_objname_idx() routine (tangential to performance improvements, but fixed along the way). - Use free-list for reference counted strings. - Don't bother copying object names into cached group entries, since they are re-created when an object is opened. The benchmark I used to measure these results created several thousand small (2K) datasets in a file and wrote out the data for them. This is Elena's "regular.c" benchmark. These changes resulted in approximately ~4.3x speedup of the development branch when compared to the previous code in the development branch and ~1.4x speedup compared to the release branch. Additionally, these changes reduce the total memory used (code and data) by the development branch by ~800KB, bringing the development branch back into the same ballpark as the release branch. I'll send out a more detailed description of the benchmark results as a followup note. New internal API routines: Added "reference counted strings" API for tracking strings that get used by multiple owners without duplicating the strings. Added "ternary search tree" API for text->object mappings.
