Revert commit 224cb3e981f1b2f9f93dbd49eaef505d17d894c2 dm: Call blk_abort_queue on failed paths Multipath began to use blk_abort_queue() to allow for lower latency path deactivation. This was found to cause list corruption: the cmd gets blk_abort_queued/timedout run on it and the scsi eh somehow is able to complete and run scsi_queue_insert while scsi_request_fn is still trying to process the request. https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2010-November/msg00085.html Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com> Cc: Mike Anderson <andmike@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Mike Christie <michaelc@cs.wisc.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2011-02-17dm: dont take i_mutex to change device sizeMike Snitzer
commit c217649bf2d60ac119afd71d938278cffd55962b upstream. No longer needlessly hold md->bdev->bd_inode->i_mutex when changing the size of a DM device. This additional locking is unnecessary because i_size_write() is already protected by the existing critical section in dm_swap_table(). DM already has a reference on md->bdev so the associated bd_inode may be changed without lifetime concerns. A negative side-effect of having held md->bdev->bd_inode->i_mutex was that a concurrent DM device resize and flush (via fsync) would deadlock. Dropping md->bdev->bd_inode->i_mutex eliminates this potential for deadlock. The following reproducer no longer deadlocks: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2009-July/msg00284.html Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2011-02-17md_make_request: don't touch the bio after calling make_requestChris Mason
commit e91ece5590b3c728624ab57043fc7a05069c604a upstream. md_make_request was calling bio_sectors() for part_stat_add after it was calling the make_request function. This is bad because the make_request function can free the bio and because the bi_size field can change around. The fix here was suggested by Jens Axboe. It saves the sector count before the make_request call. I hit this with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC turned on while trying to break his pretty fusionio card.

2011-02-17md: Fix removal of extra drives when converting RAID6 to RAID5NeilBrown
commit bf2cb0dab8c97f00a71875d9b13dbac17a2f47ca upstream. When a RAID6 is converted to a RAID5, the extra drive should be discarded. However it isn't due to a typo in a comparison. This bug was introduced in commit e93f68a1fc6 in 2.6.35-rc4 and is suitable for any -stable since than. As the extra drive is not removed, the 'degraded' counter is wrong and so the RAID5 will not respond correctly to a subsequent failure.

2011-02-17md: Ensure no IO request to get md device before it is properly initialised.NeilBrown
commit 0ca69886a8273ac1350143d562280bfcbe4760dc upstream. When an md device is in the process of coming on line it is possible for an IO request (typically a partition table probe) to get through before the array is fully initialised, which can cause unexpected behaviour (e.g. a crash). So explicitly record when the array is ready for IO and don't allow IO through until then. There is no possibility for a similar problem when the array is going off-line as there must only be one 'open' at that time, and it is busy off-lining the array and so cannot send IO requests. So no memory barrier is needed in md_stop() This has been a bug since commit 409c57f3801 in 2.6.30 which introduced md_make_request. Before then, each personality would register its own make_request_fn when it was ready. This is suitable for any stable kernel from 2.6.30.y onwards.

2011-02-17md: fix regression resulting in delays in clearing bits in a bitmapNeilBrown
commit 6c9879101442b08581e8a0e3ae6b7f643a78fd63 upstream. commit 589a594be1fb (2.6.37-rc4) fixed a problem were md_thread would sometimes call the ->run function at a bad time. If an error is detected during array start up after the md_thread has been started, the md_thread is killed. This resulted in the ->run function being called once. However the array may not be in a state that it is safe to call ->run. However the fix imposed meant that ->run was not called on a timeout. This means that when an array goes idle, bitmap bits do not get cleared promptly. While the array is busy the bits will still be cleared when appropriate so this is not very serious. There is no risk to data. Change the test so that we only avoid calling ->run when the thread is being stopped. This more explicitly addresses the problem situation. This is suitable for 2.6.37-stable and any -stable kernel to which 589a594be1fb was applied. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2011-02-17md: fix regression with re-adding devices to arrays with no metadataNeilBrown
commit bf572541ab44240163eaa2d486b06f306a31d45a upstream. Commit 1a855a0606 (2.6.37-rc4) fixed a problem where devices were re-added when they shouldn't be but caused a regression in a less common case that means sometimes devices cannot be re-added when they should be. In particular, when re-adding a device to an array without metadata we should always access the device, but after the above commit we didn't. This patch sets the In_sync flag in that case so that the re-add succeeds. This patch is suitable for any -stable kernel to which 1a855a0606 was applied.

2011-01-07block: Deprecate QUEUE_FLAG_CLUSTER and use queue_limits insteadMartin K. Petersen
commit e692cb668fdd5a712c6ed2a2d6f2a36ee83997b4 upstream. When stacking devices, a request_queue is not always available. This forced us to have a no_cluster flag in the queue_limits that could be used as a carrier until the request_queue had been set up for a metadevice. There were several problems with that approach. First of all it was up to the stacking device to remember to set queue flag after stacking had completed. Also, the queue flag and the queue limits had to be kept in sync at all times. We got that wrong, which could lead to us issuing commands that went beyond the max scatterlist limit set by the driver. The proper fix is to avoid having two flags for tracking the same thing. We deprecate QUEUE_FLAG_CLUSTER and use the queue limit directly in the block layer merging functions. The queue_limit 'no_cluster' is turned into 'cluster' to avoid double negatives and to ease stacking. Clustering defaults to being enabled as before. The queue flag logic is removed from the stacking function, and explicitly setting the cluster flag is no longer necessary in DM and MD.

2011-01-07md: protect against NULL reference when waiting to start a raid10.NeilBrown
commit 589a594be1fb8815b3f18e517be696c48664f728 upstream. When we fail to start a raid10 for some reason, we call md_unregister_thread to kill the thread that was created. Unfortunately md_thread() will then make one call into the handler (raid10d) even though md_wakeup_thread has not been called. This is not safe and as md_unregister_thread is called after mddev->private has been set to NULL, it will definitely cause a NULL dereference. So fix this at both ends: - md_thread should only call the handler if THREAD_WAKEUP has been set. - raid10 should call md_unregister_thread before setting things to NULL just like all the other raid modules do. This is applicable to 2.6.35 and later. Reported-by: "Citizen" <citizen_lee@thecus.com> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2011-01-07md: fix bug with re-adding of partially recovered device.NeilBrown
commit 1a855a0606653d2d82506281e2c686bacb4b2f45 upstream. With v0.90 metadata, a hot-spare does not become a full member of the array until recovery is complete. So if we re-add such a device to the array, we know that all of it is as up-to-date as the event count would suggest, and so it a bitmap-based recovery is possible. However with v1.x metadata, the hot-spare immediately becomes a full member of the array, but it record how much of the device has been recovered. If the array is stopped and re-assembled recovery starts from this point. When such a device is hot-added to an array we currently lose the 'how much is recovered' information and incorrectly included it as a full in-sync member (after bitmap-based fixup). This is wrong and unsafe and could corrupt data. So be more careful about setting saved_raid_disk - which is what guides the re-adding of devices back into an array. The new code matches the code in slot_store which does a similar thing, which is encouraging. This is suitable for any -stable kernel.

commit 8f9e0ee38f75d4740daa9e42c8af628d33d19a02 upstream. Commit 4044ba58dd15cb01797c4fd034f39ef4a75f7cc3 supposedly fixed a problem where if a raid1 with just one good device gets a read-error during recovery, the recovery would abort and immediately restart in an infinite loop. However it depended on raid1_remove_disk removing the spare device from the array. But that does not happen in this case. So add a test so that in the 'recovery_disabled' case, the device will be removed. This suitable for any kernel since 2.6.29 which is when recovery_disabled was introduced.

2010-10-07md/raid1: avoid overflow in raid1 resync when bitmap is in use.NeilBrown
bitmap_start_sync returns - via a pass-by-reference variable - the number of sectors before we need to check with the bitmap again. Since commit ef4256733506f245 this number can be substantially larger, 2^27 is a common value. Unfortunately it is an 'int' and so when raid1.c:sync_request shifts it 9 places to the left it becomes 0. This results in a zero-length read which the scsi layer justifiably complains about. This patch just removes the shift so the common case becomes safe with a trivially-correct patch.

2010-09-17md: fix v1.x metadata update when a disk is missing.NeilBrown

2010-08-30md: resolve confusion of MD_CHANGE_CLEANNeilBrown
MD_CHANGE_CLEAN is used for two different purposes and this leads to confusion. One of the purposes is largely mirrored by MD_CHANGE_PENDING which is not used for anything else, so have MD_CHANGE_PENDING take over that purpose fully. The two purposes are: 1/ tell md_update_sb that an update is needed and that it is just a clean/dirty transition. 2/ tell user-space that an transition from clean to dirty is pending (something wants to write), and tell te kernel (by clearin the flag) that the transition is OK. The first purpose remains wit MD_CHANGE_CLEAN, the second is moved fully to MD_CHANGE_PENDING. This means that various places which conditionally set or cleared MD_CHANGE_CLEAN no longer need to be conditional. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

So move that update in to the top of md_update_sb (which is the only caller of sync_sbs) before the test on ->external. This moves the update out of ->write_lock protection, but those fields only need ->reconfig_mutex protection which they still have. Also move the test on ->persistent up to where ->external is set as for metadata update purposes they are the same. Clear MD_CHANGE_DEVS and MD_CHANGE_CLEAN as they can only be confusing if ->external is set or ->persistent isn't.

Enable discard support in the DM multipath target. This discard support depends on a few discard-specific fixes to the block layer's request stacking driver methods. Discard requests are optional so don't allow a failed discard to trigger path failures. If there is a real problem with a given path the barriers associated with the discard (either before or after the discard) will cause path failure. That said, unconditionally passing discard failures up the stack is not ideal. This must be fixed once DM has more information about the nature of the underlying storage failure.

2010-08-12dm: do not initialise full request queue when bio basedMike Snitzer
Change bio-based mapped devices no longer to have a fully initialized request_queue (request_fn, elevator, etc). This means bio-based DM devices no longer register elevator sysfs attributes ('iosched/' tree or 'scheduler' other than "none"). In contrast, a request-based DM device will continue to have a full request_queue and will register elevator sysfs attributes. Therefore a user can determine a DM device's type by checking if elevator sysfs attributes exist. First allocate a minimalist request_queue structure for a DM device (needed for both bio and request-based DM). Initialization of a full request_queue is deferred until it is known that the DM device is request-based, at the end of the table load sequence. Factor DM device's request_queue initialization: - common to both request-based and bio-based into dm_init_md_queue(). - specific to request-based into dm_init_request_based_queue(). The md->type_lock mutex is used to protect md->queue, in addition to md->type, during table_load(). A DM device's first table_load will establish the immutable md->type. But md->queue initialization, based on md->type, may fail at that time (because blk_init_allocated_queue cannot allocate memory). Therefore any subsequent table_load must (re)try dm_setup_md_queue independently of establishing md->type.

2010-08-12dm ioctl: make bio or request based device type immutableMike Snitzer
Determine whether a mapped device is bio-based or request-based when loading its first (inactive) table and don't allow that to be changed later. This patch performs different device initialisation in each of the two cases. (We don't think it's necessary to add code to support changing between the two types.) Allowed md->type transitions: DM_TYPE_NONE to DM_TYPE_BIO_BASED DM_TYPE_NONE to DM_TYPE_REQUEST_BASED We now prevent table_load from replacing the inactive table with a conflicting type of table even after an explicit table_clear. Introduce 'type_lock' into the struct mapped_device to protect md->type and to prepare for the next patch that will change the queue initialization and allocate memory while md->type_lock is held.

2010-08-12dm: skip second flush on bio unsupported errorMikulas Patocka
When processing barriers, skip the second flush if processing the bio failed with -EOPNOTSUPP. This can happen with discard+barrier requests. If the device doesn't support discard, there would be two useless SYNCHRONIZE CACHE commands. The first dm_flush cannot be so easily optimized out, so we leave it there. Previously, -EOPNOTSUPP could be received in dec_pending only with empty barriers and we ignored that error, assuming the device not supporting cache flushes has cache always consistent. With the addition of discard barriers, this -EOPNOTSUPP can also be generated by discards and we must record it in md->barrier_error for process_barrier.

2010-08-12dm: separate device deletion from dm_putKiyoshi Ueda
This patch separates the device deletion code from dm_put() to make sure the deletion happens in the process context. By this patch, device deletion always occurs in an ioctl (process) context and dm_put() can be called in interrupt context. As a result, the request-based dm's bad dm_put() usage pointed out by Mikulas below disappears. http://marc.info/?l=dm-devel&m=126699981019735&w=2 Without this patch, I confirmed there is a case to crash the system: dm_put() => dm_table_destroy() => vfree() => BUG_ON(in_interrupt()) Some more backgrounds and details: In request-based dm, a device opener can remove a mapped_device while the last request is still completing, because bios in the last request complete first and then the device opener can close and remove the mapped_device before the last request completes: CPU0 CPU1 ================================================================= <<INTERRUPT>> blk_end_request_all(clone_rq) blk_update_request(clone_rq) bio_endio(clone_bio) == end_clone_bio blk_update_request(orig_rq) bio_endio(orig_bio) <<I/O completed>> dm_blk_close() dev_remove() dm_put(md) <<Free md>> blk_finish_request(clone_rq) .... dm_end_request(clone_rq) free_rq_clone(clone_rq) blk_end_request_all(orig_rq) rq_completed(md) So request-based dm used dm_get()/dm_put() to hold md for each I/O until its request completion handling is fully done. However, the final dm_put() can call the device deletion code which must not be run in interrupt context and may cause kernel panic. To solve the problem, this patch moves the device deletion code, dm_destroy(), to predetermined places that is actually deleting the mapped_device in ioctl (process) context, and changes dm_put() just to decrement the reference count of the mapped_device. By this change, dm_put() can be used in any context and the symmetric model below is introduced: dm_create(): create a mapped_device dm_destroy(): destroy a mapped_device dm_get(): increment the reference count of a mapped_device dm_put(): decrement the reference count of a mapped_device dm_destroy() waits for all references of the mapped_device to disappear, then deletes the mapped_device. dm_destroy() uses active waiting with msleep(1), since deleting the mapped_device isn't performance-critical task. And since at this point, nobody opens the mapped_device and no new reference will be taken, the pending counts are just for racing completing activity and will eventually decrease to zero. For the unlikely case of the forced module unload, dm_destroy_immediate(), which doesn't wait and forcibly deletes the mapped_device, is also introduced and used in dm_hash_remove_all(). Otherwise, "rmmod -f" may be stuck and never return. And now, because the mapped_device is deleted at this point, subsequent accesses to the mapped_device may cause NULL pointer references.
