Chris Lu c015cc3939 generate vtproto marshalers for filer_pb and use them on the metadata log path (#10337)
* generate vtproto marshalers for filer_pb and use them on the metadata log path

Reflection-based proto.Unmarshal allocates a fresh message tree through
reflect.New on every call. On the metadata subscription fan-out the same
event is decoded once per subscriber, so reflect.New tops the decode
churn under many mounts.

Generate MarshalVT/UnmarshalVT/SizeVT for filer.proto (a separate
filer_vtproto.pb.go, filer.pb.go untouched) and call them on the log
entry marshal and the subscribe/replay decode paths. UnmarshalVT
allocates message structs directly and copies byte and string fields, so
it stays wire-compatible with proto.Unmarshal and preserves the
non-aliasing the persisted-log cache depends on.

For SubscribeMetadataResponse this cuts decode allocations 69 -> 50 and
~4.5us -> ~2.1us per event; the win scales with subscriber overlap.

* marshal log entries directly into the buffer

SizeVT is allocation-free and MarshalToSizedBufferVT writes into a
pre-sized slice, so the log entry can be marshaled straight into
logBuffer.buf. This drops the per-entry MarshalVT allocation and the
follow-up copy on the write path.

* expand vtproto benchmarks: marshal, decode, and marshal-into-buffer by chunk count

Parametrize by nested-message count (chunks per event) and add encode +
zero-alloc marshal-into-buffer benchmarks alongside the decode one, so
the write-path win from MarshalToSizedBufferVT is measurable too.

* keep proto.Unmarshal for metadata events to preserve UTF-8 validation

UnmarshalVT skips proto3's UTF-8 validation of string fields, so a
SubscribeMetadataResponse with an invalid-UTF-8 string (e.g. Directory
"\xff") that proto.Unmarshal rejects would decode and reach path
filtering and subscribers. Decode events with proto.Unmarshal again;
UnmarshalVT stays on the log entry paths, whose only variable-length
fields are bytes and so carry no UTF-8 constraint.

Tests cover the codec difference and that a malformed event is skipped
before delivery.

Chris Lu 9b1ff91949 filer: stream offloaded metadata-log entries to fix concurrent-write OOM (#10203)
* filer: stream offloaded metadata-log entries instead of buffering whole files

The client metadata-chunks read path (ReadLogFileRefs, used by the meta
aggregator to consume peer filers and by mounts) decoded every entry of a
log file into a slice before handing it to the consumer, and prefetched the
next whole file the same way. Peak memory scaled with log-file size: under
heavy concurrent writes the per-event chunk lists grow and minute-files reach
hundreds of MB to GBs, so a filer aggregating a few peers held many GBs of
decoded entries at once (heap dominated by readLogFileEntries ->
consumeBytesNoZero) and OOMed.

Stream entries through a bounded channel: a producer decodes one entry at a
time and the next file's read overlaps processing via the channel buffer, so
peak memory is bounded by the channel depth rather than O(file size). In a
synthetic replay peak live heap dropped from ~1.3x the file size to a flat
few MB regardless of file size.

* filer: tighten offload replay tests

Share one ordered-replay assertion between the merge-order and single-filer
tests, assert the callback's own error is what propagates, and drop atomic
counters from callbacks that run on a single goroutine.

* filer: abort offloaded log replay promptly instead of joining wedged readers

Collapse the single-filer fast path into the merged reader: it was a second
copy of the producer/stop lifecycle with its own subtler synchronization, and
a one-stream merge does the same job.

On abort (processing error or a fatal read error from one filer), the
consumer used to drain channels and join every producer. A producer blocked
in an uncancellable chunk read cannot observe stop until that read returns,
so an abort could stall the caller's retry loop behind a dead volume-server
connection. Closing stop is now the only cleanup: producers check it at every
send and file boundary and exit on their own, and the merge loop's blocking
receives also escape on stop. Producers also check stop before opening each
file, so an aborted replay no longer keeps reading remaining files whose
entries never reach the channel.

A mid-file chunk-not-found still skips to the next file, but the log line now
reports how many entries were delivered first instead of pretending the whole
file was skipped; the redundant error log before setFatal is gone since the
error propagates to callers that already log it.

* filer: cap offloaded log entry allocation against corrupt size prefix

A garbage 4-byte size prefix (torn chunk or stream desync) drove
make([]byte, size) up to 4GiB per entry. Reject sizes above the same 1GiB
bound the filer-side log readers enforce.

Chris Lu 048f9ece2d Fix filer metadata-replay OOM under mount reconnect storms (#9901)
* fix(filer): propagate multi-filer metadata log read errors

A genuine (non not-found) read error in one filer's log stream was logged
and skipped, then the merged cursor advanced past the gap, silently
dropping that file's events. Abort the whole replay so the subscriber
re-reads from the unchanged position; chunk-not-found still skips.

* perf(mount): read persisted metadata log chunks directly from volume servers

Set LogFileReaderFn so the filer returns log file references and the mount
reads the chunk data itself, instead of the filer reading, decoding, and
streaming every persisted entry. Keeps a reconnect storm of many mounts
from concentrating hundreds of concurrent log replays in filer memory.

* perf(filer): pre-size chunk stream reader buffer to view size

The chunk size is known up front, so grow the buffer once instead of
letting bytes.Buffer double as the streamed pieces arrive (which
transiently overshoots to ~2x per reader).

* fix(filer): bound concurrent persisted-log replays

Each server-side replay holds an open chunk reader per source filer plus a
readahead buffer, so a reconnect storm of clients that predate the
metadata-chunks offload multiplies into many GB. Gate replays with a
semaphore; abort the acquire when the subscriber's stream is gone so
cancelled clients do not pile up parked goroutines.

Chris LuandCopilot c2c58419b8 filer.sync: send log file chunk fids to clients for direct volume server reads (#8792)
* filer.sync: send log file chunk fids to clients for direct volume server reads

Instead of the server reading persisted log files from volume servers, parsing
entries, and streaming them over gRPC (serial bottleneck), clients that opt in
via client_supports_metadata_chunks receive log file chunk references (fids)
and read directly from volume servers in parallel.

New proto messages:
- LogFileChunkRef: chunk fids + timestamp + filer ID for one log file
- SubscribeMetadataRequest.client_supports_metadata_chunks: client opt-in
- SubscribeMetadataResponse.log_file_refs: server sends refs during backlog

Server changes:
- CollectLogFileRefs: lists log files and returns chunk refs without any
  volume server I/O (metadata-only operation)
- SubscribeMetadata/SubscribeLocalMetadata: when client opts in, sends refs
  during persisted log phase, then falls back to normal streaming for
  in-memory events

Client changes:
- ReadLogFileRefs: reads log files from volume servers, parses entries,
  filters by path prefix, invokes processEventFn
- MetadataFollowOption.LogFileReaderFn: factory for chunk readers,
  enables metadata chunks when non-nil
- Both filer_pb_tail.go and meta_aggregator.go recv loops accumulate
  refs then process them at the disk→memory transition

Backward compatible: old clients don't set the flag, get existing behavior.

Ref: #8771

* filer.sync: merge entries across filers in timestamp order on client side

ReadLogFileRefs now groups refs by filer ID and merges entries from
multiple filers using a min-heap priority queue — the same algorithm
the server uses in OrderedLogVisitor + LogEntryItemPriorityQueue.

This ensures events are processed in correct timestamp order even when
log files from different filers have interleaved timestamps. Single-filer
case takes the fast path (no heap allocation).

* filer.sync: integration tests for direct-read metadata chunks

Three test categories:

1. Merge correctness (TestReadLogFileRefsMergeOrder):
   Verifies entries from 3 filers are delivered in strict timestamp order,
   matching the server-side OrderedLogVisitor guarantee.

2. Path filtering (TestReadLogFileRefsPathFilter):
   Verifies client-side path prefix filtering works correctly.

3. Throughput comparison (TestDirectReadVsServerSideThroughput):
   3 filers × 7 files × 300 events = 6300 events, 2ms per file read:

   server-side:  6300 events  218ms   28,873 events/sec
   direct-read:  6300 events   51ms  123,566 events/sec  (4.3x)
   parallel:     6300 events   17ms  378,628 events/sec  (13.1x)

   Direct-read eliminates gRPC send overhead per event (4.3x).
   Parallel per-filer reading eliminates serial file I/O (13.1x).

* filer.sync: parallel per-filer reads with prefetching in ReadLogFileRefs

ReadLogFileRefs now has two levels of I/O overlap:

1. Cross-filer parallelism: one goroutine per filer reads its files
   concurrently. Entries feed into per-filer channels, merged by the
   main goroutine via min-heap (same ordering guarantee as the server's
   OrderedLogVisitor).

2. Within-filer prefetching: while the current file's entries are being
   consumed by the merge heap, the next file is already being read from
   the volume server in a background goroutine.

Single-filer fast path avoids the heap and channels.

Test results (3 filers × 7 files × 300 events, 2ms per file read):

  server-side sequential:  6300 events  212ms   29,760 events/sec
  parallel + prefetch:     6300 events   36ms  177,443 events/sec
  Speedup: 6.0x

* filer.sync: address all review comments on metadata chunks PR

Critical fixes:
- sendLogFileRefs: bypass pipelinedSender, send directly on gRPC stream.
  Ref messages have TsNs=0 and were being incorrectly batched into the
  Events field by the adaptive batching logic, corrupting ref delivery.
- readLogFileEntries: use io.ReadFull instead of reader.Read to prevent
  partial reads from corrupting size values or protobuf data.
- Error handling: only skip chunk-not-found errors (matching server-side
  isChunkNotFoundError). Other I/O or decode failures are propagated so
  the follower can retry.

High-priority fixes:
- CollectLogFileRefs: remove incorrect +24h padding from stopTime. The
  extra day caused unnecessary log file refs to be collected.
- Path filtering: ReadLogFileRefs now accepts PathFilter struct with
  PathPrefix, AdditionalPathPrefixes, and DirectoriesToWatch. Uses
  util.Join for path construction (avoids "//foo" on root). Excludes
  /.system/log/ internal entries. Matches server-side
  eachEventNotificationFn filtering logic.

Medium-priority fixes:
- CollectLogFileRefs: accept context.Context, propagate to
  ListDirectoryEntries calls for cancellation support.
- NewChunkStreamReaderFromLookup: accept context.Context, propagate to
  doNewChunkStreamReader.

Test fixes:
- Check error returns from ReadLogFileRefs in all test call sites.
