Mechanisms such as the above you mention, for IPC have not been documented. 

glusterd3_1_brick_op is the function that performs an RPC to the glusterfsd 
(brick proceses).
The RPC program (part of the brick processes) has the xlator graph in memory 
and as part of the 
brick op it has the name of the translator(s) in question whose notify that
needs to be called. The code which does all the above is present in 
glusterfsd/src/glusterfsd-mgmt.c.
Look for glusterfs_handle_rpc_msg for rest of the code flow.

Hope that helps,
krish
