- Fix another old "BUG: Attempt to overwrite used offset" in a very simple
case: bs=4k rw=write iodepth=16 from OSD start; add this case to tests
- Fix a rare crash with "unexpected state during flush: 0x51" possible with
EC since 1.4.2 during rebalance and OSD outages
- Fix a rare write stall with EC & immediate_commit=none caused by sync
operations reserving unneeded space in the journal
- Fix 32-bit build warnings, most in printf/scanf format strings
Unwavering stabilization of 1.4.x, continued :-)
- Include the accidentally lost part of 1.4.5 journal trimming fix
- Fix a possible OSD crash with "BUG: Attempt to overwrite used offset"
which was probably present for long time, but became apparent after
fixing flapping tests in CI
- Fix remaining flapping tests in CI. It was the first time when tests
actually passed without retries :-)
- Fix a write stall caused by incorrect journal trimming introduced in 1.4.4 :)
- Fix PGs sometimes hanging in "starting" state on mass OSD restarts
- Fix a rare crash with "map::at" during OSD pings
- Use new defaults for non-capacitor (desktop) SSDs - improves T1Q256 random write from ~6k iops to ~45k iops
- Make journal_trim_interval configurable
A couple of fixes for EC pools
- Fix a segfault possible on partial EC overwrite in 1234 -> 5030 rebalance scenario
- Fix two problems leading to EC pools stalling on rebalance & parallel sudden stops
of OSDs, for example during a sudden poweroff of a host:
- Recovery auto-tuning (1.4.0 feature) could apply too large delays and stall
the EC journal - fixed by limiting delays with a new recovery_tune_sleep_cutoff_us
parameter (10 seconds by default) and applying recovery pauses before write
operations, not after them, to not occupy space in the journal for long time
- Dynamic journal space reservation (1.3.0 feature) wasn't accounting new writes
when checking the limit so OSDs could still fill the journal fully and stall -
fixed by including new writes into the limit
- Print etcd dbSize instead of dbSizeInUse in status
Hotfix for hotfix O:-)
- "Write stall fix" was incomplete and EC write stalls could
continue even on 1.4.2. Now they're finally fixed O:-)
- Make monitor ignore statistics of stopped OSDs. Previously if you stopped all
OSDs the last total I/O numbers would remain the same indefinitely
- Log to systemd by default
- Fix excessive autosyncs after every operation with disabled immediate_commit (introduced in 1.1.0)
- Fix a possible write stall with EC due to the lack of OSD wakeup after stabilizing previous writes
- Change sync operation semantics as a final fix to possible write stalls with EC and disabled immediate_commit
- Sync after deleting data in CLI rm / rm-data if immediate_commit is disabled
- Fix OSDs ignoring syncs & autosyncs for delete operations
- Fix OSD space reporting sometimes adding garbage zeros for deleted inodes (causing extra pool/stats etcd keys for deleted pools)
- Speed up monitor failover - change default etcd_mon_ttl from 30 to 5 seconds
- Speed up operation retries - change default up_wait_retry_interval to 50 ms
- Add patch for libvirt 9.10

Bug fixes:
- Fix pools SOMETIMES staying inactive after stopping a node due to OSDs not reacting

to apply changes when an ongoing rebalance is quickly making a lot of PGs clean
- Fix CSI plugin not accepting array of strings as etcd address in /etc/vitastor/vitastor.conf

- Important bug fix for EC: fix EC n+k, k>=2 read recovery in ISA-L version returning
incorrect data when reading at least the second chunk out of multiple missing chunks
without reading the first one. All users of EC n+k, k>=2 should upgrade as soon as
possible, and upgrade should be conducted with downtime: first stop all clients

- Make monitor PG changes more stable and timeout errors less probable
New features:
- Implement [client writeback cache](docs/config/client.en.md#client_enable_writeback)

[etcd_stats_interval](docs/config/osd.en.md#etcd_stats_interval) (default 30 sec)

- Fix rare OSD crash during sync operation processing
- Fix a reenterability issue in cluster_client not reproducible in QEMU/fio,

the same object a lot of times, then deleted it, and then modified it again
- Fix the fio_sec_osd test tool
New features:
- Data and metadata checksums!
- Metadata checksums are always used with new disk format
- Data checksums can be turned on with --data_csum_type crc32c for new OSDs

- Backwards compatibility is preserved, you can use new OSDs with old disks
Release also includes bug fixes from [0.9.6](https://git.yourcmc.ru/vitalif/vitastor/releases/tag/v0.9.6).

Bug fixes:
- Fix a bug where monitor could generate degraded PGs if one of the hosts had no OSDs

- Add vitastor-cli alloc-osd and simple-offsets commands and use them in make-osd,
thus removing the dependency on etcdctl
