Hello list,
I have a couple of questions on index translator implementation.
* Why does gluster need callstub and a different worker queue (and
thread) to process those call stubs? Is it just to lower the
priority of fops of internal inodes?
As far as I know, this is to move the processing to background and free
up the server thread to process other requests.

* What’s the purpose of “link-count” in xdata? It’s being used only
in index_fstat and index_lookup. I see sometimes the key is
assigned 0/1 after callback, and sometimes AFR uses it to store
flag GF_XATTROP_INDEX_COUNT. Is the code purposely reusing the key?
A non-zero link count means there are entries that are pending heal. AFR
requests this information in lookup and fstat fops and updates
priv->need_heal in the fop-callbacks. It then uses that information to
not nullify the inodes of the entries fetched during a readdirp call,
improving readdirp performance.
https://review.gluster.org/#/c/glusterfs/+/12507/ is the patch that
introduced it.
