Revert commit d2bb7df8 at Greg's request. Author: Milan Broz <mbroz@redhat.com> Date: Thu Dec 10 23:51:53 2009 +0000 dm: sysfs add empty release function to avoid debug warning This patch just removes an unnecessary warning: kobject: 'dm': does not have a release() function, it is broken and must be fixed. The kobject is embedded in mapped device struct, so code does not need to release memory explicitly here. Cc: Greg KH <gregkh@suse.de> Signed-off-by: NAlasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>

This patch fixes the problem that system may stall if target's ->map_rq returns DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE in map_request(). E.g. stall happens on 1 CPU box when a dm-mpath device with queue_if_no_path bounces between all-paths-down and paths-up on I/O load. When target's ->map_rq returns DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE, map_request() requeues the request and returns to dm_request_fn(). Then, dm_request_fn() doesn't exit the I/O dispatching loop and continues processing the requeued request again. This map and requeue loop can be done with interrupt disabled, so 1 CPU system can be stalled if this situation happens. For example, commands below can stall my 1 CPU box within 1 minute or so: # dmsetup table mp mp: 0 2097152 multipath 1 queue_if_no_path 0 1 1 service-time 0 1 2 8:144 1 1 # while true; do dd if=/dev/mapper/mp of=/dev/null bs=1M count=100; done & # while true; do \ > dmsetup message mp 0 "fail_path 8:144" \ > dmsetup suspend --noflush mp \ > dmsetup resume mp \ > dmsetup message mp 0 "reinstate_path 8:144" \ > done To fix the problem above, this patch changes dm_request_fn() to exit the I/O dispatching loop once if a request is requeued in map_request().

When suspending a failed mirror, bios are completed by mirror_end_io() and __rh_lookup() in dm_rh_dec() returns NULL where a non-NULL return value is required by design.

When recovery_complete() is executed between dm_rh_update_states() and dm_writes() in do_mirror(), bios are processed with the region state, DM_RH_NOSYNC. However, the region data is freed without checking its pending count when dm_rh_update_states() is called next time. When bios are finished by mirror_end_io(), __rh_lookup() in dm_rh_dec() returns NULL even though a valid return value are expected. Solution Remove the state change of the recovery failed region from DM_RH_RECOVERING to DM_RH_NOSYNC in dm_rh_recovery_end(). We can remove the state change because: - If the region data has been released by dm_rh_update_states(), a new region data is created with the state of DM_RH_NOSYNC, and bios are processed according to the DM_RH_NOSYNC state. - If the region data has not been released by dm_rh_update_states(), a state of the region is DM_RH_RECOVERING and bios are put in the delayed_bio list. The flag change from DM_RH_RECOVERING to DM_RH_NOSYNC in dm_rh_recovery_end() was added in the following commit: dm raid1: handle resync failures author Jonathan Brassow <jbrassow@redhat.com> Thu, 12 Jul 2007 16:29:04 +0000 (17:29 +0100) http://git.kernel.org/linus/f44db678edcc6f4c2779ac43f63f0b9dfa28b724Signed-off-by: NTakahiro Yasui <tyasui@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: NMikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NAlasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>

If the mirror log fails when the handle_errors option was not selected and there is no remaining valid mirror leg, writes return success even though they weren't actually written to any device. This patch completes them with EIO instead. This code path is taken: do_writes: bio_list_merge(&ms->failures, &sync); do_failures: if (!get_valid_mirror(ms)) (false) else if (errors_handled(ms)) (false) else bio_endio(bio, 0); The logic in do_failures is based on presuming that the write was already tried: if it succeeded at least on one leg (without handle_errors) it is reported as success.

This patch fixes two bugs that revolve around the miscalculation and misuse of the variable 'overhead_size'. 'overhead_size' is the size of the various header structures used during communication. The first bug is the use of 'sizeof' with the pointer of a structure instead of the structure itself - resulting in the wrong size being computed. This is then used in a check to see if the payload (data_size) would be to large for the preallocated structure. Since the bug produces a smaller value for the overhead, it was possible for the structure to be breached. (Although the current users of the code do not currently send enough data to trigger this bug.) The second bug is that the 'overhead_size' value is used to compute how much of the preallocated space should be cleared before populating it with fresh data. This should have simply been 'sizeof(struct cn_msg)' not overhead_size. The fact that 'overhead_size' was computed incorrectly made this problem "less bad" - leaving only a pointer's worth of space at the end uncleared. Thus, this bug was never producing a bad result, but still needs to be fixed - especially now that the value is computed correctly.

====== This fix is related to http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15142 but does not address that exact issue. ====== sysfs does like attributes being removed while they are being accessed (i.e. read or written) and waits for the access to complete. As accessing some md attributes takes the same lock that is held while removing those attributes a deadlock can occur. This patch addresses 3 issues in md that could lead to this deadlock. Two relate to calling flush_scheduled_work while the lock is held. This is probably a bad idea in general and as we use schedule_work to delete various sysfs objects it is particularly bad. In one case flush_scheduled_work is called from md_alloc (called by md_probe) called from do_md_run which holds the lock. This call is only present to ensure that ->gendisk is set. However we can be sure that gendisk is always set (though possibly we couldn't when that code was originally written. This is because do_md_run is called in three different contexts: 1/ from md_ioctl. This requires that md_open has succeeded, and it fails if ->gendisk is not set. 2/ from writing a sysfs attribute. This can only happen if the mddev has been registered in sysfs which happens in md_alloc after ->gendisk has been set. 3/ from autorun_array which is only called by autorun_devices, which checks for ->gendisk to be set before calling autorun_array. So the call to md_probe in do_md_run can be removed, and the check on ->gendisk can also go. In the other case flush_scheduled_work is being called in do_md_stop, purportedly to wait for all md_delayed_delete calls (which delete the component rdevs) to complete. However there really isn't any need to wait for them - they have already been disconnected in all important ways. The third issue is that raid5->stop() removes some attribute names while the lock is held. There is already some infrastructure in place to delay attribute removal until after the lock is released (using schedule_work). So extend that infrastructure to remove the raid5_attrs_group. This does not address all lockdep issues related to the sysfs "s_active" lock. The rest can be address by splitting that lockdep context between symlinks and non-symlinks which hopefully will happen.

This code was written long ago when it was not possible to reshape a degraded array. Now it is so the current level of degraded-ness needs to be taken in to account. Also newly addded devices should only reduce degradedness if they are deemed to be in-sync. In particular, if you convert a RAID5 to a RAID6, and increase the number of devices at the same time, then the 5->6 conversion will make the array degraded so the current code will produce a wrong value for 'degraded' - "-1" to be precise. If the reshape runs to completion end_reshape will calculate a correct new value for 'degraded', but if a device fails during the reshape an incorrect decision might be made based on the incorrect value of "degraded". This patch is suitable for 2.6.32-stable and if they are still open, 2.6.31-stable and 2.6.30-stable as well.

If two arrays share a device, then they will not both resync at the same time. One will wait for the other to complete. While waiting, the MD_RECOVERY_INTR flag is not checked so a device failure, which would make the resync pointless, does not cause the resync to abort, so the failed device cannot be removed (as it cannot be remove while a resync is happening). So add a test for MD_RECOVERY_INTR. Reported-by: NBrett Russ <bruss@netezza.com> Signed-off-by: NNeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

The start_ro modules parameter can be used to force arrays to be started in 'auto-readonly' in which they are read-only until the first write. This ensures that no resync/recovery happens until something else writes to the device. This is important for resume-from-disk off an md array. However if an array is started 'readonly' (by writing 'readonly' to the 'array_state' sysfs attribute) we want it to be really 'readonly', not 'auto-readonly'. So strengthen the condition to only set auto-readonly if the array is not already read-only. Signed-off-by: NNeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

evms configures md arrays by: open device send ioctl close device for each different ioctl needed. Since 2.6.29, the device can disappear after the 'close' unless a significant configuration has happened to the device. The change made by "SET_ARRAY_INFO" can too minor to stop the device from disappearing, but important enough that losing the change is bad. So: make sure SET_ARRAY_INFO sets mddev->ctime, and keep the device active as long as ctime is non-zero (it gets zeroed with lots of other things when the array is stopped). This is suitable for -stable kernels since 2.6.29. Signed-off-by: NNeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Cc: stable@kernel.org

As v1.x metadata can record that a member of the array is not completely recovered, it make sense to record that a spare has become a regular member of the array at the earliest opportunity. So remove the tests on "recovery_offset > 0" in super_1_sync as they really aren't needed, and schedule a metadata update immediately after adding spares to a degraded array. This means that if a crash happens immediately after a recovery starts, the new device will be included in the array and recovery will continue from wherever it was up to. Previously this didn't happen unless recovery was at least 1/16 of the way through. Signed-off-by: NNeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

We've noticed severe lasting performance degradation of our raid arrays when we have drives that yield large amounts of media errors. The raid10 module will queue each failed read for retry, and also will attempt call fix_read_error() to perform the read recovery. Read recovery is performed while the array is frozen, so repeated recovery attempts can degrade the performance of the array for extended periods of time. With this patch I propose adding a per md device max number of corrected read attempts. Each rdev will maintain a count of read correction attempts in the rdev->read_errors field (not used currently for raid10). When we enter fix_read_error() we'll check to see when the last read error occurred, and divide the read error count by 2 for every hour since the last read error. If at that point our read error count exceeds the read error threshold, we'll fail the raid device. In addition in this patch I add sysfs nodes (get/set) for the per md max_read_errors attribute, the rdev->read_errors attribute, and added some printk's to indicate when fix_read_error fails to repair an rdev. For testing I used debugfs->fail_make_request to inject IO errors to the rdev while doing IO to the raid array.

The post-barrier-flush is sent by md as soon as make_request on the barrier write completes. For raid5, the data might not be in the per-device queues yet. So for barrier requests, wait for any pre-reading to be done so that the request will be in the per-device queues. We use the 'preread_active' count to check that nothing is still in the preread phase, and delay the decrement of this count until after write requests have been submitted to the underlying devices.

Previously barriers were only supported on RAID1. This is because other levels requires synchronisation across all devices and so needed a different approach. Here is that approach. When a barrier arrives, we send a zero-length barrier to every active device. When that completes - and if the original request was not empty - we submit the barrier request itself (with the barrier flag cleared) and then submit a fresh load of zero length barriers. The barrier request itself is asynchronous, but any subsequent request will block until the barrier completes. The reason for clearing the barrier flag is that a barrier request is allowed to fail. If we pass a non-empty barrier through a striping raid level it is conceivable that part of it could succeed and part could fail. That would be way too hard to deal with. So if the first run of zero length barriers succeed, we assume all is sufficiently well that we send the request and ignore errors in the second run of barriers. RAID5 needs extra care as write requests may not have been submitted to the underlying devices yet. So we flush the stripe cache before proceeding with the barrier. Note that the second set of zero-length barriers are submitted immediately after the original request is submitted. Thus when a personality finds mddev->barrier to be set during make_request, it should not return from make_request until the corresponding per-device request(s) have been queued. That will be done in later patches. Signed-off-by: NNeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Reviewed-by: NAndre Noll <maan@systemlinux.org>
