* master:
  wcfs: Server.stop: Make sure to remove mount entry even if we had to use FUSE abort
  tests: Don't leak WCFS log files
  tests: Remove test NEO database after test run is over
  nxdtest: Don't run test.go for multiple GOMAXPROCS
  wcfs: Make sure to remove mountpoint directory on Server.stop
  nxdtest: Run WCFS-related tests in verbose mode on testnodes
  setup: Fix egg_info after addition of δbtail.go

Server.stop currently tries to unmount, and if that fails invokes FUSE
abort and kills wcfs.go . However it does not call unmount the second
time after such abort, and this way the filesystem remains mounted (in
ENOTCONN state) and rmdir(mountpoint) fails.

-> Fix it by calling unmount the second time if we had to abort FUSE
connection. In that second try use lazy unmounting, because regular
unmount can still fail with "Device or resource busy" since there
could be still client file descriptors left pointing to the mounted
filesystem. With lazy mode unmounting + followup rmdir, hopefully,
always succeeds.

Here is example test run where one test timed out, FUSE connection was
aborted, but neither the filesystem was unmounted, nor mountpoint
directory was deleted, which led to all followup tests failing in setup
assert that testmountpoint does not exist:

https://nexedijs.erp5.net/#/test_result_module/20211112-1ACEA62D/22

This patch should fix those followup failures + fix another leakage of
WCFS mounts in real services.

By default every WCFS run creates several files in /tmp/wcfs.*.log.* and
without explicit cleanup those files are left hanging on testnodes. Over
last ~6 months we accumulated ~ 300K such files.

Don't allow those files to be leaked by instructing WCFS to log to
stderr during test run. This should be also useful to see details in the
test output.

With NEO we were creating test database on /tmp but we were not deleting
it in the end. As the result many /tmp/neo_XXXXXX non-empty directories
were being leaked.

-> Fix it by creating testdb directory outselves and removing it at the
end, similarly to FileStorage and ZEO.

Fixes: 7fc4ec66 (tests: Allow to test with ZEO & NEO ZODB storages)

We run tests with different GOMAXPROCS because some WCFS bugs are only
likely to trigger when there is only 1 or 2 main OS thread(s) in WCFS.

However test.go does not exercise filesystem functionality - it runs
unit tests for ZBlk decoding, ΔBtail and similar. At the same time
test.go:* currently occupies ~ 50% of whole time to run full testsuite
with the main consumer being ΔBtail random testing.

-> Run test.go only once. This should save ~ 1000s for each run and
lower whole time to run wendelin.core testsuite on testnode from
~60m -> to ~40 minutes.

Else every time test.py/wcfs is run several empty directories are left
in /dev/shm/wcfs - each corresponding to WCFS server that was
automatically spawned and stopped at the end of the test. Over time this
can accumulate to some big number as e.g. ~20000 of such directories
were left on the testnode during last 6 months.

This are the early days of WCFS - we want full details which in default
configuration might not be available to see if WCFS gets stuck for one
reason or another. See added comments for details.

`python setup.py egg_info` stopped working after we added non-ASCII
files, e.g. δbtail.go in 2ab4be93 (wcfs: xbtree: ΔBtail) and δftail.go

This happens becuase by default setuptools collects filenames as str, not
unicode, and our git_lsfiles - also registered into setuptools.file_finders
entrypoint - collects filenames as unicode. Previously everything was working
because there was no on-ASCII filenames, and so unicode vs str coercion worked
automatically. But now, after there is filename like 'δbtail.go', it stopped to
work and raises UnicodeDecodeError.

-> Fix it by adjusting git_lsfiles to collect filenames as UTF-8 encoded
strings instead of unicode.

It is not possible for WCFS to access data of in-RAM storage of another
process. But without explicit explanation the error message is confusing
- it was something like:

    NotImplementedError: don't know how to extract zurl from <ZODB.MappingStorage.MappingStorage object at 0x7f28f04cea10>

which suggests it was just not implemented.

By using WCFS as mmap-overlay for base data(*). WCFS-mode is still opt-in
with default remaining to use old full user-space virtual memory manager
mode as initially introduced in 2015.

Wendelin.core should be draftly usable in WCFS mode now.

This patch is organized as follows:

- file_zodb.cpp provides mmap-overlay operations for WCFS implemented via
  WCFS client library.
- file_zodb.py is adjusted accordingly to use WCFS if requested.
  Low-level things specific to gluing to file_zodb.cpp are moved to _file_zodb.pyx.
- the rest of the changes are drive-by by main ones.

(*) see the following patches for what is mmap-overlay:

- fae045cc  (bigfile/virtmem: Introduce "mmap overlay" mode)
- 23362204  (bigfile/py: Allow PyBigFile backend to expose "mmap overlay" functionality)

Some preliminary history:

kirr/wendelin.core@f118617b    X tests: Don't try to stop wcfs that is already exited

Provide integration with virtmem, so that WCFS Mapping can be associated
and managed under virtmem VMA. In other words provide support so that WCFS can
be used as ZBigFile backend in "mmap overlay" mode (see fae045cc "bigfile/virtmem:
Introduce "mmap overlay" mode" for description of mmap-overlay mode).

We'll need this functionality for ZBigFile + WCFS client integration.

Virtmem integration will be tested via running whole wendelin.core functional
testsuite in wcfs-mode after the next patch.

Integration with wendelin.core virtmem layer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This client package can be used standalone, but additionally provides
integration with wendelin.core userspace virtual memory manager: when a
Mapping is created, it can be associated as serving base layer for a
particular virtmem VMA via FileH.mmap(vma=...). In that case, since virtmem
itself adds another layer of dirty pages over read-only base provided by
Mapping(+)

                 ┌──┐                      ┌──┐
                 │RW│                      │RW│    ← virtmem VMA dirty pages
                 └──┘                      └──┘
                           +
                                                   VMA base = X@at view provided by Mapping:

                                          ___        /@revA/bigfile/X
        __                                           /@revB/bigfile/X
               _                                     /@revC/bigfile/X
                           +                         ...
     ───  ───── ──────────────────────────   ─────   /head/bigfile/X

the Mapping will interact with virtmem layer to coordinate
updates to mapping virtual memory.

How it works
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wcfs client integrates with virtmem layer to support virtmem handle
dirtying pages of read-only base-layer that wcfs client provides via
isolated Mapping. For wcfs-backed bigfiles every virtmem VMA is interlinked
with Mapping:

      VMA     -> BigFileH -> ZBigFile -----> Z
       ↑↓                                    O
     Mapping  -> FileH    -> wcfs server --> DB

When a page is write-accessed, virtmem mmaps in a page of RAM in place of
accessed virtual memory, copies base-layer content provided by Mapping into
there, and marks that page as read-write.

Upon receiving pin message, the pinner consults virtmem, whether
corresponding page was already dirtied in virtmem's BigFileH (call to
__fileh_page_isdirty), and if it was, the pinner does not remmap Mapping
part to wcfs/@revX/f and just leaves dirty page in its place, remembering
pin information in fileh._pinned.

Once dirty pages are no longer needed (either after discard/abort or
writeout/commit), virtmem asks wcfs client to remmap corresponding regions
of Mapping in its place again via calls to Mapping.remmap_blk for previously
dirtied blocks.

The scheme outlined above does not need to split Mapping upon dirtying an
inner page.

See bigfile_ops interface (wendelin/bigfile/file.h) that explains base-layer
and overlaying from virtmem point of view. For wcfs this interface is
provided by small wcfs client wrapper in bigfile/file_zodb.cpp.

(+) see bigfile_ops interface (wendelin/bigfile/file.h) that gives virtmem
    point of view on layering.

For ZBigFile + WCFS client integration we'll need to open WCFS
connections that observer database at the same state as current ZODB
connection. Later that WCFS connection needs to adjust its on-WCFS view
in accordance to how ZODB connection adjusts its one.

Wczsync provides a function to do so: pywconnOf(zconn) will open WCFS
connection and maintain it in sync with ZODB connection zconn.

Some preliminary history:

kirr/wendelin.core@7203d7ab    X wcfs: Fix ZSync to close wconn on zdb.close, even if zconn stays alive

In 3bd82127 (lib/zodb: Add zconn_at draft (ZODB5 only)) we added
zconn_at function to find out as of which state a ZODB connection is
viewing the database. That was ZODB5-only however.

Let's add support for ZODB4 now - by requiring ZODB4-wc2 - a version of
ZODB4 with MVCC backported from ZODB5: nexedi/ZODB!1

This makes wendelin.core to work on either ZODB5 or ZODB4-wc2, but not
plain ZODB4. However as zconn_at will be used only for WCFS-integration,
non-wcfs mode will continue to work on all ZODB5, ZODB4-wc2 and plain
ZODB4.

ZBigFile + WCFS client integration will use zconn_at to open WCFS
connection that corresponds to ZODB connection.

Preliminary history:

kirr/wendelin.core@1c3b7750    X zconn_at for ZODB4

Add patch to ZODB.Connection to support callback on after database is
closed. ZBigFile + WCFS client integration will use this callback to
close WCFS connection when corresponding ZODB.DB is closed.

Preliminary history:

In 959ae2d0 (lib/zodb: Add patch to ZODB.Connection to support callback
on connection DB view change) we added patch for ZODB.Connection to
support callback when database view of the connection changes. At that
time the patch was working for ZODB5 and ZODB4 was TODO.
Let's add support for ZODB4 (both ZODB4 and ZODB4-wc2) now.

As a reminder: ZBigFile + WCFS client integration will use this callback
to keep WCFS connection in sync with ZODB connection.

Preliminary history:

kirr/wendelin.core@533a4cfa     X onResyncCallback for ZODB4

This patch logically continues previous change `bigfile/virtmem:
Introduce "mmap overlay" mode` and exposes mmap-overlay functionality to
Python: if PyBigFile backend provides .blkmmapper PyCapsule the
mmap-related methods will be extracted from it and passed on through to
virtmem - see _bigfile.h for details.

ZBigFile will use this to hook into using WCFS.

with the intention to later use WCFS through it.

Before this patch virtmem had only one mode: a BigFile backend was
providing loadblk and storeblk methods, and on every block access
loadblk was called to load block data into allocated RAM page.

However with WCFS virtmem won't be needed to do anything to load data -
because loading from head/bigfile/f mmaped through OS will be handled by
OS directly. Thus for wcfs, that leaves virtmem only to handle dirtying
and writeout.

-> Introduce "mmap overlay" mode into virtmem to handle WCFS-like
BigFile backends - that can provide read-only base layer suitable for
mmapping.

This patch is organized as follows:

- fileh_open is added flags argument to indicate which mode to use for
  opened fileh. BigFileH is added .mmap_overlay bitfield correspondingly.
  (virtmem.h)

- struct bigfile_ops is extended with 3 optional methods that a BigFile
  backend might provide to support mmap-overlay mode:

  * mmap_setup_read,
  * remmap_blk_read, and
  * munmap

  (see file.h changes for documentation of this new interface)

- if opened with MMAP_OVERLAY flag, virtmem is using those methods to
  organize VMA views backed by read-only base mmap layer and writeout
  for such VMAs (virtmem.c)

- a test is added to exercise MMAP_OVERLAY virtmem mode (test_virtmem.c)

- everything else, including bigfile.py, is switched to use
  DONT_MMAP_OVERLAY unconditionally for now.

In internal comments inside virtmem new mode is interchangeable called
"mmap overlay" and "wcfs", even though wcfs is not hooked to be used
mmap-overlaying yet.

Some preliminary history:

kirr/wendelin.core@fb6932a2    X Split PAGE_LOADED -> PAGE_LOADED, PAGE_LOADED_FOR_WRITE
kirr/wendelin.core@4a20a573    X Settled on what should happen after writeout for wcfs case
kirr/wendelin.core@f084ff9b    X Transition to all VMA under 1 fileh to be either all based on wcfs or all based on !wcfs

This patch follows-up on previous patch, that added server-side part of
isolation protocol handling, and adds client package that takes care about
WCFS isolation protocol details and provides to clients simple interface to
isolated view of bigfile data on WCFS similar to regular files: given a
particular revision of database @at, it provides synthetic read-only bigfile
memory mappings with data corresponding to @at state, but using /head/bigfile/*
most of the time to build and maintain the mappings.

The patch is organized as follows:

- wcfs.h and wcfs.cpp brings in usage documentation, internal overview and the
  main part of the implementation.

- wcfs/client/client_test.py is tests.

- The rest of the changes in wcfs/client/ are to support the implementation and tests.

Quoting package documentation for the reference:

---- 8< ----

Package wcfs provides WCFS client.

This client package takes care about WCFS isolation protocol details and
provides to clients simple interface to isolated view of bigfile data on
WCFS similar to regular files: given a particular revision of database @at,
it provides synthetic read-only bigfile memory mappings with data
corresponding to @at state, but using /head/bigfile/* most of the time to
build and maintain the mappings.

For its data a mapping to bigfile X mostly reuses kernel cache for
/head/bigfile/X with amount of data not associated with kernel cache for
/head/bigfile/X being proportional to δ(bigfile/X, at..head). In the usual
case where many client workers simultaneously serve requests, their database
views are a bit outdated, but close to head, which means that in practice
the kernel cache for /head/bigfile/* is being used almost 100% of the time.

A mapping for bigfile X@at is built from OS-level memory mappings of
on-WCFS files as follows:

                                          ___        /@revA/bigfile/X
        __                                           /@revB/bigfile/X
               _                                     /@revC/bigfile/X
                           +                         ...
     ───  ───── ──────────────────────────   ─────   /head/bigfile/X

where @revR mmaps are being dynamically added/removed by this client package
to maintain X@at data view according to WCFS isolation protocol(*).

API overview

 - `WCFS` represents filesystem-level connection to wcfs server.
 - `Conn` represents logical connection that provides view of data on wcfs
   filesystem as of particular database state.
 - `FileH` represent isolated file view under Conn.
 - `Mapping` represents one memory mapping of FileH.

A path from WCFS to Mapping is as follows:

 WCFS.connect(at)                    -> Conn
 Conn.open(foid)                     -> FileH
 FileH.mmap([blk_start +blk_len))    -> Mapping

A connection can be resynced to another database view via Conn.resync(at').

Documentation for classes provides more thorough overview and API details.

Wcfs client organization
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wcfs client provides to its users isolated bigfile views backed by data on
WCFS filesystem. In the absence of Isolation property, wcfs client would
reduce to just directly using OS-level file wcfs/head/f for a bigfile f. On
the other hand there is a simple, but inefficient, way to support isolation:
for @at database view of bigfile f - directly use OS-level file wcfs/@at/f.
The latter works, but is very inefficient because OS-cache for f data is not
shared in between two connections with @at1 and @at2 views. The cache is
also lost when connection view of the database is resynced on transaction
boundary. To support isolation efficiently, wcfs client uses wcfs/head/f
most of the time, but injects wcfs/@revX/f parts into mappings to maintain
f@at view driven by pin messages that wcfs server sends to client in
accordance to WCFS isolation protocol(*).

Wcfs server sends pin messages synchronously triggered by access to mmaped
memory. That means that a client thread, that is accessing wcfs/head/f mmap,
is completely blocked while wcfs server sends pins and waits to receive acks
from all clients. In other words on-client handling of pins has to be done
in separate thread, because wcfs server can also send pins to client that
triggered the access.

Wcfs client implements pins handling in so-called "pinner" thread(+). The
pinner thread receives pin requests from wcfs server via watchlink handle
opened through wcfs/head/watch. For every pin request the pinner finds
corresponding Mappings and injects wcfs/@revX/f parts via Mapping._remmapblk
appropriately.

The same watchlink handle is used to send client-originated requests to wcfs
server. The requests are sent to tell wcfs that client wants to observe a
particular bigfile as of particular revision, or to stop watching it.
Such requests originate from regular client threads - not pinner - via entry
points like Conn.open, Conn.resync and FileH.close.

Every FileH maintains fileh._pinned {} with currently pinned blk -> rev. This
dict is updated by pinner driven by pin messages, and is used when
new fileh Mapping is created (FileH.mmap).

In wendelin.core a bigfile has semantic that it is infinite in size and
reads as all zeros beyond region initialized with data. Memory-mapping of
OS-level files can also go beyond file size, however accessing memory
corresponding to file region after file.size triggers SIGBUS. To preserve
wendelin.core semantic wcfs client mmaps-in zeros for Mapping regions after
wcfs/head/f.size. For simplicity it is assumed that bigfiles only grow and
never shrink. It is indeed currently so, but will have to be revisited
if/when wendelin.core adds bigfile truncation. Wcfs client restats
wcfs/head/f at every transaction boundary (Conn.resync) and remembers f.size
in FileH._headfsize for use during one transaction(%).

Wcfs client locking organization

Wcfs client needs to synchronize regular user threads vs each other and vs
pinner. A major lock Conn.atMu protects updates to changes to Conn's view of
the database. Whenever atMu.W is taken - Conn.at is changing (Conn.resync),
and contrary whenever atMu.R is taken - Conn.at is stable (roughly speaking
Conn.resync is not running).

Similarly to wcfs.go(*) several locks that protect internal data structures
are minor to Conn.atMu - they need to be taken only under atMu.R (to
synchronize e.g. multiple fileh open running simultaneously), but do not
need to be taken at all if atMu.W is taken. In data structures such locks
are noted as follows

     sync::Mutex xMu;    // atMu.W  |  atMu.R + xMu

After atMu, Conn.filehMu protects registry of opened file handles
(Conn._filehTab), and FileH.mmapMu protects registry of created Mappings
(FileH.mmaps) and FileH.pinned.

Several locks are RWMutex instead of just Mutex not only to allow more
concurrency, but, in the first place for correctness: pinner thread being
core element in handling WCFS isolation protocol, is effectively invoked
synchronously from other threads via messages coming through wcfs server.
For example Conn.resync sends watch request to wcfs server and waits for the
answer. Wcfs server, in turn, might send corresponding pin messages to the
pinner and _wait_ for the answer before answering to resync:

       - - - - - -
      |       .···|·····.        ---->   = request
         pinner <------.↓        <····   = response
      |           |   wcfs
         resync -------^↓
      |      `····|·····
       - - - - - -
      client process

This creates the necessity to use RWMutex for locks that pinner and other
parts of the code could be using at the same time in synchronous scenarios
similar to the above. This locks are:

     - Conn.atMu
     - Conn.filehMu

Note that FileH.mmapMu is regular - not RW - mutex, since nothing in wcfs
client calls into wcfs server via watchlink with mmapMu held.

The ordering of locks is:

     Conn.atMu > Conn.filehMu > FileH.mmapMu

The pinner takes the following locks:

     - wconn.atMu.R
     - wconn.filehMu.R
     - fileh.mmapMu (to read .mmaps  +  write .pinned)

(*) see "Wcfs locking organization" in wcfs.go

Handling of fork

When a process calls fork, OS copies its memory and creates child process
with only 1 thread. That child inherits file descriptors and memory mappings
from parent. To correctly continue using Conn, FileH and Mappings, the child
must recreate pinner thread and reconnect to wcfs via reopened watchlink.
The reason here is that without reconnection - by using watchlink file
descriptor inherited from parent - the child would interfere into
parent-wcfs exchange and neither parent nor child could continue normal
protocol communication with WCFS.

For simplicity, since fork is seldomly used for things besides followup
exec, wcfs client currently takes straightforward approach by disabling
mappings and detaching from WCFS server in the child right after fork. This
ensures that there is no interference into parent-wcfs exchange should child
decide not to exec and to continue running in the forked thread. Without
this protection the interference might come even automatically via e.g.
Python GC -> PyFileH.__del__ -> FileH.close -> message to WCFS.

Via custom isolation protocol that both server and clients must cooperatively
follow. This is the core change that enables file cache to be practically
shared while each client can still be provided with isolated view of the database.

This patch brings only server changes, tests + the minimum client bits to support the tests.
The client library, that will implement isolation protocol on client side, will come next.

This patch is organized as follows:

- wcfs.go brings in description of the protocol, overview of how server
  implements that protocol and the implementation itself.
  See also notes.txt

- wcfs_test.py brings in tests for server implementation.
  tWCFS._abort_ontimeout had to be moved into nogil mode into wcfs_test.pyx
  to avoid deadlock on the GIL (see comments in wcfs_test.pyx for details).

- files added in wcfs/client/ are needed to provide client-side
  implementation of WatchLink - the message exchange protocol over
  opened head/watch file - for tests. Client-side watchlink implementation
  lives in wcfs/client/wcfs_watchlink.{h,cpp}. The other additions in
  wcfs/client/ are to support that and to expose the WatchLink to Python.

  Client-side bits are done right in C++ because upcoming WCFS client
  library will be implemented in C++ to work in nogil mode in order to
  avoid deadlock on the GIL because client-side pinner thread might be
  woken-up synchronously by WCFS server at any moment, including when
  another client thread already holds the GIL and is paused by WCFS.

are correspondingly matched with read/write operations on filesystem user side.

later, head/watch files.

ΔFtail builds on ΔBtail and  provides ZBigFile-level history that WCFS
will use to compute which blocks of a ZBigFile need to be invalidated in
OS file cache given raw ZODB changes on ZODB invalidation message.

It also will be used by WCFS to implement isolation protocol, where on
every FUSE READ request WCFS will query ΔFtail to find out revision of
corresponding file block.

Quoting ΔFtail documentation:

---- 8< ----

ΔFtail provides ZBigFile-level history tail.

It translates ZODB object-level changes to information about which blocks of
which ZBigFile were modified, and provides service to query that information.

ΔFtail class documentation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ΔFtail represents tail of revisional changes to files.

It semantically consists of

    []δF			; rev ∈ (tail, head]

where δF represents a change in files space

    δF:
    	.rev↑
    	{} file ->  {}blk | EPOCH

Only files and blocks explicitly requested to be tracked are guaranteed to
be present. In particular a block that was not explicitly requested to be
tracked, even if it was changed in δZ, is not guaranteed to be present in δF.

After file epoch (file creation, deletion, or any other change to file
object) previous track requests for that file become forgotten and have no
further effect.

ΔFtail provides the following operations:

  .Track(file, blk, path, zblk)	- add file and block reached via BTree path to tracked set.

  .Update(δZ) -> δF				- update files δ tail given raw ZODB changes
  .ForgetPast(revCut)			- forget changes ≤ revCut
  .SliceByRev(lo, hi) -> []δF		- query for all files changes with rev ∈ (lo, hi]
  .SliceByFileRev(file, lo, hi) -> []δfile	- query for changes of a file with rev ∈ (lo, hi]
  .BlkRevAt(file, #blk, at) -> blkrev	- query for what is last revision that changed
    					  file[#blk] as of @at database state.

where δfile represents a change to one file

    δfile:
    	.rev↑
    	{}blk | EPOCH

See also zodb.ΔTail and xbtree.ΔBtail

Concurrency

ΔFtail is safe to use in single-writer / multiple-readers mode. That is at
any time there should be either only sole writer, or, potentially several
simultaneous readers. The table below classifies operations:

    Writers:  Update, ForgetPast
    Readers:  Track + all queries (SliceByRev, SliceByFileRev, BlkRevAt)

Note that, in particular, it is correct to run multiple Track and queries
requests simultaneously.

ΔFtail organization
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ΔFtail leverages:

    - ΔBtail to track changes to ZBigFile.blktab BTree, and
    - ΔZtail to track changes to ZBlk objects and to ZBigFile object itself.

then every query merges ΔBtail and ΔZtail data on the fly to provide
ZBigFile-level result.

Merging on the fly, contrary to computing and maintaining vδF data, is done
to avoid complexity of recomputing vδF when tracking set changes. Most of
ΔFtail complexity is, thus, located in ΔBtail, which implements BTree diff
and handles complexity of recomputing vδB when set of tracked blocks
changes after new track requests.

Changes to ZBigFile object indicate epochs. Epochs could be:

    - file creation or deletion,
    - change of ZBigFile.blksize,
    - change of ZBigFile.blktab to point to another BTree.

Epochs represent major changes to file history where file is assumed to
change so dramatically, that practically it can be considered to be a
"whole" change. In particular, WCFS, upon seeing a ZBigFile epoch,
invalidates all data in corresponding OS-level cache for the file.

The only historical data, that ΔFtail maintains by itself, is history of
epochs. That history does not need to be recomputed when more blocks become
tracked and is thus easy to maintain. It also can be maintained only in
ΔFtail because ΔBtail and ΔZtail does not "know" anything about ZBigFile.

Concurrency

In order to allow multiple Track and queries requests to be served in
parallel, ΔFtail bases its concurrency promise on ΔBtail guarantees +
snapshot-style access for vδE and ztrackInBlk in queries:

1. Track calls ΔBtail.Track and quickly updates .byFile, .byRoot and
   _RootTrack indices under a lock.

2. BlkRevAt queries ΔBtail.GetAt and then combines retrieved information
   about zblk with vδE and δZ.

3. SliceByFileRev queries ΔBtail.SliceByRootRev and then merges retrieved
   vδT data with vδZ, vδE and ztrackInBlk.

4. In queries vδE is retrieved/built in snapshot style similarly to how vδT
   is built in ΔBtail. Note that vδE needs to be built only the first time,
   and does not need to be further rebuilt, so the logic in ΔFtail is simpler
   compared to ΔBtail.

5. for ztrackInBlk - that is used by SliceByFileRev query - an atomic
   snapshot is retrieved for objects of interest. This allows to hold
   δFtail.mu lock for relatively brief time without blocking other parallel
   Track/queries requests for long.

Combined this organization allows non-overlapping queries/track-requests
to run simultaneously. (This property is essential to WCFS because otherwise
WCFS would not be able to serve several non-overlapping READ requests to one
file in parallel.)

ΔBtail provides BTree-level history tail that WCFS - via ΔFtail - will
use to compute which blocks of a ZBigFile need to be invalidated in OS
file cache given raw ZODB changes on ZODB invalidation message.

It also will be used by WCFS to implement isolation protocol, where on
every FUSE READ request WCFS will query ΔBtail - again via ΔFtail - to
find out revision of corresponding file block.

Quoting ΔBtail documentation:

---- 8< ----

ΔBtail provides BTree-level history tail.

It translates ZODB object-level changes to information about which keys of
which BTree were modified, and provides service to query that information.

ΔBtail class documentation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ΔBtail represents tail of revisional changes to BTrees.

It semantically consists of

    []δB			; rev ∈ (tail, head]

where δB represents a change in BTrees space

    δB:
    	.rev↑
    	{} root -> {}(key, δvalue)

It covers only changes to keys from tracked subset of BTrees parts.
In particular a key that was not explicitly requested to be tracked, even if
it was changed in δZ, is not guaranteed to be present in δB.

ΔBtail provides the following operations:

  .Track(path)	- start tracking tree nodes and keys; root=path[0], keys=path[-1].(lo,hi]

  .Update(δZ) -> δB				- update BTree δ tail given raw ZODB changes
  .ForgetPast(revCut)			- forget changes ≤ revCut
  .SliceByRev(lo, hi) -> []δB		- query for all trees changes with rev ∈ (lo, hi]
  .SliceByRootRev(root, lo, hi) -> []δT	- query for changes of a tree with rev ∈ (lo, hi]
  .GetAt(root, key, at) -> (value, rev)	- get root[key] @at assuming root[key] ∈ tracked

where δT represents a change to one tree

    δT:
    	.rev↑
    	{}(key, δvalue)

An example for tracked set is a set of visited BTree paths.
There is no requirement that tracked set belongs to only one single BTree.

See also zodb.ΔTail and zdata.ΔFtail

Concurrency

ΔBtail is safe to use in single-writer / multiple-readers mode. That is at
any time there should be either only sole writer, or, potentially several
simultaneous readers. The table below classifies operations:

    Writers:  Update, ForgetPast
    Readers:  Track + all queries (SliceByRev, SliceByRootRev, GetAt)

Note that, in particular, it is correct to run multiple Track and queries
requests simultaneously.

ΔBtail organization
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ΔBtail keeps raw ZODB history in ΔZtail and uses BTree-diff algorithm(*) to
turn δZ into BTree-level diff. For each tracked BTree a separate ΔTtail is
maintained with tree-level history in ΔTtail.vδT .

Because it is very computationally expensive(+) to find out for an object to
which BTree it belongs, ΔBtail cannot provide full BTree-level history given
just ΔZtail with δZ changes. Due to this ΔBtail requires help from
users, which are expected to call ΔBtail.Track(treepath) to let ΔBtail know
that such and such ZODB objects constitute a path from root of a tree to some
of its leaf. After Track call the objects from the path and tree keys, that
are covered by leaf node, become tracked: from now-on ΔBtail will detect
and provide BTree-level changes caused by any change of tracked tree objects
or tracked keys. This guarantee can be provided because ΔBtail now knows
that such and such objects belong to a particular tree.

To manage knowledge which tree part is tracked ΔBtail uses PPTreeSubSet.
This data-structure represents so-called PP-connected set of tree nodes:
simply speaking it builds on some leafs and then includes parent(leaf),
parent(parent(leaf)), etc. In other words it's a "parent"-closure of the
leafs. The property of being PP-connected means that starting from any node
from such set, it is always possible to reach root node by traversing
.parent links, and that every intermediate node went-through during
traversal also belongs to the set.

A new Track request potentially grows tracked keys coverage. Due to this,
on a query, ΔBtail needs to recompute potentially whole vδT of the affected
tree. This recomputation is managed by "vδTSnapForTracked*" and "_rebuild"
functions and uses the same treediff algorithm, that Update is using, but
modulo PPTreeSubSet corresponding to δ key coverage. Update also potentially
needs to rebuild whole vδT history, not only append new δT, because a
change to tracked tree nodes can result in growth of tracked key coverage.

Queries are relatively straightforward code that work on vδT snapshot. The
main complexity, besides BTree-diff algorithm, lies in recomputing vδT when
set of tracked keys changes, and in handling that recomputation in such a way
that multiple Track and queries requests could be all served in parallel.

Concurrency

In order to allow multiple Track and queries requests to be served in
parallel ΔBtail employs special organization of vδT rebuild process where
complexity of concurrency is reduced to math on merging updates to vδT and
trackSet, and on key range lookup:

1. vδT is managed under read-copy-update (RCU) discipline: before making
   any vδT change the mutator atomically clones whole vδT and applies its
   change to the clone. This way a query, once it retrieves vδT snapshot,
   does not need to further synchronize with vδT mutators, and can rely on
   that retrieved vδT snapshot will remain immutable.

2. a Track request goes through 3 states: "new", "handle-in-progress" and
   "handled". At each state keys/nodes of the Track are maintained in:

   - ΔTtail.ktrackNew and .trackNew       for "new",
   - ΔTtail.krebuildJobs                  for "handle-in-progress", and
   - ΔBtail.trackSet                      for "handled".

   trackSet keeps nodes, and implicitly keys, from all handled Track
   requests. For all keys, covered by trackSet, vδT is fully computed.

   a new Track(keycov, path) is remembered in ktrackNew and trackNew to be
   further processed when a query should need keys from keycov. vδT is not
   yet providing data for keycov keys.

   when a Track request starts to be processed, its keys and nodes are moved
   from ktrackNew/trackNew into krebuildJobs. vδT is not yet providing data
   for requested-to-be-tracked keys.

   all trackSet, trackNew/ktrackNew and krebuildJobs are completely disjoint:

    trackSet ^ trackNew     = ø
    trackSet ^ krebuildJobs = ø
    trackNew ^ krebuildJobs = ø

3. when a query is served, it needs to retrieve vδT snapshot that takes
   related previous Track requests into account. Retrieving such snapshots
   is implemented in vδTSnapForTracked*() family of functions: there it
   checks ktrackNew/trackNew, and if those sets overlap with query's keys
   of interest, run vδT rebuild for keys queued in ktrackNew.

   the main part of that rebuild can be run without any locks, because it
   does not use nor modify any ΔBtail data, and for δ(vδT) it just computes
   a fresh full vδT build modulo retrieved ktrackNew. Only after that
   computation is complete, ΔBtail is locked again to quickly merge in
   δ(vδT) update back into vδT.

   This organization is based on the fact that

    vδT/(T₁∪T₂) = vδT/T₁ | vδT/T₂

     ( i.e. vδT computed for tracked set being union of T₁ and T₂ is the
       same as merge of vδT computed for tracked set T₁ and vδT computed
      for tracked set T₂ )

   and that

    trackSet | (δPP₁|δPP₂) = (trackSet|δPP₁) | (trackSet|δPP₂)

    ( i.e. tracking set updated for union of δPP₁ and δPP₂ is the same
      as union of tracking set updated with δPP₁ and tracking set updated
      with δPP₂ )

   these merge properties allow to run computation for δ(vδT) and δ(trackSet)
   independently and with ΔBtail unlocked, which in turn enables running
   several Track/queries in parallel.

4. while vδT rebuild is being run, krebuildJobs keeps corresponding keycov
   entry to indicate in-progress rebuild. Should a query need vδT for keys
   from that job, it first waits for corresponding job(s) to complete.

Explained rebuild organization allows non-overlapping queries/track-requests
to run simultaneously. (This property is essential to WCFS because otherwise
WCFS would not be able to serve several non-overlapping READ requests to one
file in parallel.)

This algorithm will be internally used by ΔBtail in the next patch.

The algorithm would be simple, if we would need to diff two trees
completely. However in ΔBtail only subpart of BTree nodes are tracked(*)
and the diff has to work modulo that tracking set.

No tests now because ΔBtail tests will cover treediff functionality as well.

Quoting treediff documentation:

treediff provides diff for BTrees

Use δZConnectTracked + treediff to compute BTree-diff caused by δZ:

    δZConnectTracked(δZ, trackSet)                         -> δZTC, δtopsByRoot
    treediff(root, δtops, δZTC, trackSet, zconn{Old,New})  -> δT, δtrack, δtkeycov

δZConnectTracked computes BTree-connected closure of δZ modulo tracked set
and also returns δtopsByRoot to indicate which tree objects were changed and
in which subtree parts. With that information one can call treediff for each
changed root to compute BTree-diff and δ for trackSet itself.

BTree diff algorithm

diffT, diffB and δMerge constitute the diff algorithm implementation.
diff(A,B) works on pair of A and B whole key ranges splitted into regions
covered by tree nodes. The splitting represents current state of recursion
into corresponding tree. If a node in particular key range is Bucket, that
bucket contributes to δ- in case of A, and to δ+ in case of B. If a node in
particular key range is Tree, the algorithm may want to expand that tree
node into its children and to recourse into some of the children.

There are two phases:

- Phase 1 expands A top->down driven by δZTC, adds reached buckets to δ-,
  and queues key regions of those buckets to be processed on B.

- Phase 2 starts processing from queued key regions, expands them on B and
  adds reached buckets to δ+. Then it iterates to reach consistency in between
  A and B because processing buckets on B side may increase δ key coverage,
  and so corresponding key ranges has to be again processed on A. Which in
  turn may increase δ key coverage again, and needs to be processed on B side,
  etc...

The final δ is merge of δ- and δ+.

diffT has more detailed explanation of phase 1 and phase 2 logic.

This data structures will be used in ΔBtail to maintain sef of tracked
BTree nodes, and to represent δ to such set.

Quoting PPTreeSubSet and ΔPPTreeSubSet documentation:

---- 8< ----

PPTreeSubSet represents PP-connected subset of tree node objects.

It is

    PP(xleafs)

where PP(node) maps node to {node, node.parent, node.parent,parent, ...} up
to top root from where the node is reached.

The nodes in the set are represented by their Oid.

Usually PPTreeSubSet is built as PP(some-leafs), but in general the starting
nodes are arbitrary. PPTreeSubSet can also have many root nodes, thus not
necessarily representing a subset of a single tree.

Usual set operations are provided: Union, Difference and Intersection.

Nodes can be added into the set via AddPath. Path is reverse operation - it
returns path to tree node given its oid.

Every node in the set comes with .parent pointer.

~~~~

ΔPPTreeSubSet represents a change to PPTreeSubSet.

It can be applied via PPTreeSubSet.ApplyΔ .

The result B of applying δ to A is:

    B = A.xDifference(δ.Del).xUnion(δ.Add)		(*)

(*) NOTE δ.Del and δ.Add might have their leafs starting from non-leaf nodes in A/B.
    This situation arises when δ represents a change in path to particular
    node, but that node itself does not change, for example:

           c*             c
          / \            /
        41*  42         41
         |    |         | \
        22   43        46  43
              |         |   |
             44        22  44

    Here nodes {c, 41} are changed, node 42 is unlinked, and node 46 is added.
    Nodes 43 and 44 stay unchanged.

        δ.Del = c-42-43   | c-41-22
        δ.Add = c-41-43   | c-41-46-22

    The second component with "-22" builds from leaf, but the first
    component with "-43" builds from non-leaf node.

        ΔnchildNonLeafs = {43: +1}

    Only complete result of applying all

        - xfixup(-1, ΔnchildNonLeafs)
        - δ.Del,
        - δ.Add, and
        - xfixup(+1, ΔnchildNonLeafs)

    produces correctly PP-connected set.

RangedMap is Key->VALUE map with adjacent keys mapped to the same value coalesced into Ranges.
RangedKeySet is set of Keys with adjacent keys coalesced into Ranges.

This data structures will be needed for ΔBtail.

For now the implementation is simple since it keeps whole map in a
linear slice because both RangedMap and RangedKeySet will be used in
ΔBtail to keep something proportional to δ of a change, which is assumed
to be small or medium most of the time.

Add treeenv.go that combines Treegen and client side access to ZODB with
committed trees as extension to testing.T . The environment allows to
easily see which tree update was committed, what is the difference in
terms of KV, what is the state of updated tree and state of pointed-to
ZBlk objects.

This will be used to test upcoming ΔBtail and ΔFtail.

Main functionality is in treeenv.go; the other added files are to
support that.

Lacking generics we have set.go.in and instantiation for Set[int64],
set[string], Set[Oid] and Set[Tid] - that will be used in follow-up
patches.

The set.go.in itself is mostly a generalized copy from git-backup:

https://lab.nexedi.com/kirr/git-backup/blob/c9db60e8/set.go

treegen.go and treegen.py together provide a way

- to commit a particular BTree topology into ZODB, and
- to generate set of random tree topologies that all correspond to particular {k->v} dict.

this will be used in upcoming ΔBtail and ΔFtail tests.

See treegen.py documentation for details.
