| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Purpose: Bug Fix Description: If an HDF5 file grows larger than its address space, it dies and is unable to write any data. This is more likely to happen since users are able to change the number of bytes used to store addresses in the file. Solution: HDF5 now throws an error instead of dying. In addition, it "reserves" address space for the local heap and for object headers (which do not allocate space immediately). This ensures that after the error occurs, there is enough address space left to flush the entire file to disk, so no data is lost. A more complete explanation is at /doc/html/TechNotes/ReservedFileSpace.html Platforms tested: sleipnir, copper (parallel), verbena, arabica, Windows (Visual Studio 7) Solution: Platforms tested: Misc. update:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Update Description: A lot of modifications for the FPHDF5 stuff: H5AC.c H5ACprivate.h - Removed AC_find (it's replaced with AC_protect and AC_unprotect). Added flushing if it's an FPHDF5 driver and we're doing an AC_set or AC_unprotect with the dirty flag set. H5B.c - Split up the B_flush function into different functions since the one function was doing serialization which is better left as a separate entity. H5D.c - Removed some FPHDF5 code that was incorrect H5F.c - Split up the F_flush function so that it no longer allocates file space. Created new functions (F_init_superblock, F_read_superblock, and F_write_superblock) for greater modularity and so that the FPHDF5 non-captain processes can read the superblock after the captain process writes it. H5FD.c - Error message correction. H5FDfphdf5.c - Removed MPI barrier call that wasn't needed. H5FPclient.c H5FPserver.c - Modified so that if a process requests data that isn't exactly aligned, we can return it if we have the block that contains the requested address. H5G.c H5Gent.c H5Gnode.c H5HL.c H5HLpkg.h H5HLprivate.h H5Oefl.c - Removed the H5HL_peek function since it was doing a (now unsafe) holding of the information in the cache. Replaced with protect and unprotect calls. H5TB.c - Error fix. The TB_dless function wasn't working properly. H5Gstab.c - Format change. H5err.txt H5Edefin.h H5Einit.h H5Epubgen.h H5Eterm.h - Added new error code. Platforms tested: Modi4 (paralle, Fortran) Sol (Fortran) Linux (C++, Fortran) Copper (Parallel, Fortran) Misc. update:
* [svn-r7189] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-07-091-0/+79
Code cleanup Description: Break some of the "debugging" routines into their own module, so they aren't pulled into every executable, which certainly isn't going to use them. Platforms tested: h5committested
