[dm-devel] [PATCH V2] Introducing multipath C API <libdmmp/libdmmp.h>

Gris Ge fge at redhat.com
Fri Feb 12 08:10:23 UTC 2016


Features:

 * Use these multipathd IPC commands:
    * 'show maps raw format <fmt>'
    * 'show groups raw format <fmt>'
    * 'show paths raw format <fmt>'
    # We might have inconsistent data when something changes during these
    # commands. If so, DMMP_ERR_INCONSISTENT_DATA will be raised and
    # suggest user to try again.
 * Library user guide will be 'man 3 libdmmp.h'.
 * Every public function has its own manpage in section 3 which is
   generated by linux 'kernel-doc' tool.

Usage:

    make -j5
    sudo make install \
            bindir=/usr/sbin/ \
            syslibdir=/usr/lib64/ \
            libdir=/usr/lib64/multipath \
            rcdir=/etc/rc.d/init.d \
            unitdir=/usr/lib/systemd/system \
            includedir=/usr/include
    make -C libdmmp check

    man libdmmp.h
    man dmmp_mpath_array_get
    man <dmmp function name>

Performance:

  * 4k scsi_debug sdX with 2 disks per mpath (i7-3520M 4GiB RAM RHEL 7.2):
        $ make -C libdmmp speed_test
        Got 2000 mpath
        real 0.20
        user 0.03
        sys 0.01
  * 10k scsi_debug sdX with 2 disks per mpath (E5-2697 32GiB RAM RHEL 7.2):
        $ make -C libdmmp speed_test
        Got 5000 mpath
        real 1.51
        user 0.45
        sys 0.00

User case:

    Storaged multipath plugin:
        https://github.com/storaged-project/storaged/pull/40

Misc:
 * Developer note is libdmmp/DEV_NOTES.

+== Planed features ==
+ * Fix DMMP_ERR_INCONSISTENT_DATA by using single query command.
+ * Expose all properties used by /usr/bin/multipath
+
+== Code style ==
+ * Keep things as simple as possible.
+ * Linux Kernel code style.
+ * Don't use typedef.
+ * Don't use enum unless it's for user input argument.
+ * We are not smarter than API user, so don't create wrapping function like:
+
+    ```
+    dmmp_mpath_search_by_id(struct dmmp_context *ctx,
+                            struct dmmp_mpath **dmmp_mp,
+                            uint32_t dmmp_mp_count, const char *id)
+

+                              const char *blk_name)
+    ```
+ * The performance is the same for query single mpath and query all mpaths,
+   so no `dmmp_mpath_of_wwid(struct dmmp_context *ctx, const char *wwid)` yet.
+
+== Naming scheme ==
+ * Public constants should be named as `DMMP_XXX_YYY`.
+ * Public functions should be named as `dmmp_<noun>_<verb>`.
+ * Private constants should be named as `_DMMP_XXX_YYY`.
+ * Private functions should be named as `_dmmp_<noun>_<verb>`.
+
+== Code Layout ==
+ * libdmmp_private.h
+    Internal functions or macros.
+ * libdmmp.c
+    For `struct dmmp_context` or multipathd IPC functions.
+ * libdmmp_mp.c
+    For `struct dmmp_mpath`
+ * libdmmp_pg.c
+    For `struct dmmp_path_group`
+ * libdmmp_path.c
+    For `struct dmmp_path`
+ * libdmmp_misc.c

+# 		Stop eval'ing where we don't need to.
+# -- huggie at earth.li
+
+# 27/06/2001 -  Allowed whitespace after initial "/**" and
+#               allowed comments before function declarations.
+# -- Christian Kreibich <ck at whoop.org>
+
+# Still to do:

+# 26/05/2001 - 	Support for separate source and object trees.
+#		Return error code.
+# 		Keith Owens <kaos at ocs.com.au>
+
+# 23/09/2001 - Added support for typedefs, structs, enums and unions

+#              Small fixes (like spaces vs. \s in regex)

+# This will read a 'c' file and scan for embedded comments in the
+# style of gnome comments (+minor extensions - see below).
+#
+
+# Note: This only supports 'c'.
+
+# usage:
+# kernel-doc [ -docbook | -html | -html5 | -text | -man | -list ]
+#            [ -no-doc-sections ]
+#            [ -function funcname [ -function funcname ...] ]
+#            c file(s)s > outputfile
+# or
+#            [ -nofunction funcname [ -function funcname ...] ]
+#            c file(s)s > outputfile
+#
+#  Set output format using one of -docbook -html -html5 -text or -man.
+#  Default is man.
+#  The -list format is for internal use by docproc.
+#
+#  -no-doc-sections
+#	Do not output DOC: sections
+#
+#  -function funcname
+#	If set, then only generate documentation for the given function(s) or
+#	DOC: section titles.  All other functions and DOC: sections are ignored.
+#
+#  -nofunction funcname
+#	If set, then only generate documentation for the other function(s)/DOC:
+#	sections. Cannot be used together with -function (yes, that's a bug --
+#	perl hackers can fix it 8))
+#
+#  c files - list of 'c' files to process
+#
+#  All output goes to stdout, with errors to stderr.
+
+#
+# format of comments.
+# In the following table, (...)? signifies optional structure.
+#                         (...)* signifies 0 or more structure elements
+# /**
+#  * function_name(:)? (- short description)?
+# (* @parameterx: (description of parameter x)?)*
+# (* a blank line)?
+#  * (Description:)? (Description of function)?
+#  * (section header: (section description)? )*
+#  (*)?*/
+#
+# So .. the trivial example would be:
+#
+# /**
+#  * my_function
+#  */
+#
+# If the Description: header tag is omitted, then there must be a blank line
+# after the last parameter specification.
+# e.g.
+# /**
+#  * my_function - does my stuff
+#  * @my_arg: its mine damnit
+#  *
+#  * Does my stuff explained.
+#  */
+#
+#  or, could also use:
+# /**
+#  * my_function - does my stuff
+#  * @my_arg: its mine damnit
+#  * Description: Does my stuff explained.
+#  */
+# etc.
+#
+# Besides functions you can also write documentation for structs, unions,
+# enums and typedefs. Instead of the function name you must write the name
+# of the declaration;  the struct/union/enum/typedef must always precede
+# the name. Nesting of declarations is not supported.
+# Use the argument mechanism to document members or constants.
+# e.g.
+# /**
+#  * struct my_struct - short description
+#  * @a: first member
+#  * @b: second member
+#  *
+#  * Longer description
+#  */
+# struct my_struct {
+#     int a;
+#     int b;
+# /* private: */
+#     int c;
+# };
+#
+# All descriptions can be multiline, except the short function description.
+#
+# For really longs structs, you can also describe arguments inside the
+# body of the struct.
+# eg.
+# /**
+#  * struct my_struct - short description
+#  * @a: first member
+#  * @b: second member
+#  *
+#  * Longer description
+#  */
+# struct my_struct {
+#     int a;
+#     int b;
+#     /**
+#      * @c: This is longer description of C
+#      *
+#      * You can use paragraphs to describe arguments
+#      * using this method.
+#      */
+#     int c;
+# };
+#
+# This should be use only for struct/enum members.
+#
+# You can also add additional sections. When documenting kernel functions you
+# should document the "Context:" of the function, e.g. whether the functions
+# can be called form interrupts. Unlike other sections you can end it with an
+# empty line.
+# A non-void function should have a "Return:" section describing the return
+# value(s).
+# Example-sections should contain the string EXAMPLE so that they are marked
+# appropriately in DocBook.
+#
+# Example:
+# /**
+#  * user_function - function that can only be called in user context
+#  * @a: some argument
+#  * Context: !in_interrupt()
+#  *
+#  * Some description
+#  * Example:
+#  *    user_function(22);
+#  */
+# ...
+#
+#
+# All descriptive text is further processed, scanning for the following special
+# patterns, which are highlighted appropriately.
+#
+# 'funcname()' - function
+# '$ENVVAR' - environmental variable
+# '&struct_name' - name of a structure (up to two words including 'struct')

+
+.SH NAME
+libdmmp.h \- Device Mapper Multipath API.
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+#include <libdmmp/libdmmp.h>
+
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+
+All the libdmmp public functions ships its own man pages.
+Use 'man 3 <function_name>' to check the detail usage.
+
+.SH "USAGE"
+
+To use libdmmp in your project, we suggest to use the 'pkg-config' way:
+
+ * Add this line into your configure.ac:
+
+    PKG_CHECK_MODULES([LIBDMMP], [libdmmp])
+
+ * Add these lines into your Makefile.am:
+
+    foo_LDFLAGS += $(LIBDMMP_LIBS)
+    foo_CFLAGS += $(LIBDMMP_CFLAGS)
+
+.SH LOG HANDLING
+
+The log handler function could be set via 'dmmp_context_log_func_set()'.
+The log priority could be set via 'dmmp_context_log_priority_set()'.
+
+By default, the log priorities is 'DMMP_LOG_PRIORITY_WARNING'.
+By default, the log handler is print log to STDERR, and its code is listed
+below in case you want to create your own log handler.
