      nbd: fsync and kill block device on shutdown · 3a2d63f8
      Paolo Bonzini 提交于
      There are two problems with shutdown in the NBD driver.
      
      1: Receiving the NBD_DISCONNECT ioctl does not sync the filesystem.
      
         This patch adds the sync operation into __nbd_ioctl()'s
         NBD_DISCONNECT handler.  This is useful because BLKFLSBUF is restricted
         to processes that have CAP_SYS_ADMIN, and the NBD client may not
         possess it (fsync of the block device does not sync the filesystem,
         either).
      
      2: Once we clear the socket we have no guarantee that later reads will
         come from the same backing storage.
      
         The patch adds calls to kill_bdev() in __nbd_ioctl()'s socket
         clearing code so the page cache is cleaned, lest reads that hit on the
         page cache will return stale data from the previously-accessible disk.
      
      Example:
      
          # qemu-nbd -r -c/dev/nbd0 /dev/sr0
          # file -s /dev/nbd0
          /dev/stdin: # UDF filesystem data (version 1.5) etc.
          # qemu-nbd -d /dev/nbd0
          # qemu-nbd -r -c/dev/nbd0 /dev/sda
          # file -s /dev/nbd0
          /dev/stdin: # UDF filesystem data (version 1.5) etc.
      
      While /dev/sda has:
      
          # file -s /dev/sda
          /dev/sda: x86 boot sector; etc.

      nbd: support FLUSH requests · 75f187ab
      Alex Bligh 提交于
      Currently, the NBD device does not accept flush requests from the Linux
      block layer.  If the NBD server opened the target with neither O_SYNC nor
      O_DSYNC, however, the device will be effectively backed by a writeback
      cache.  Without issuing flushes properly, operation of the NBD device will
      not be safe against power losses.
      
      The NBD protocol has support for both a cache flush command and a FUA
      command flag; the server will also pass a flag to note its support for
      these features.  This patch adds support for the cache flush command and
      flag.  In the kernel, we receive the flags via the NBD_SET_FLAGS ioctl,
      and map NBD_FLAG_SEND_FLUSH to the argument of blk_queue_flush.  When the
      flag is active the block layer will send REQ_FLUSH requests, which we
      translate to NBD_CMD_FLUSH commands.
      
      FUA support is not included in this patch because all free software
      servers implement it with a full fdatasync; thus it has no advantage over
      supporting flush only.  Because I [Paolo] cannot really benchmark it in a
      realistic scenario, I cannot tell if it is a good idea or not.  It is also
      not clear if it is valid for an NBD server to support FUA but not flush.
      The Linux block layer gives a warning for this combination, the NBD
      protocol documentation says nothing about it.
      
      The patch also fixes a small problem in the handling of flags: nbd->flags
      must be cleared at the end of NBD_DO_IT, but the driver was not doing
      that.  The bug manifests itself as follows.  Suppose you two different
      client/server pairs to start the NBD device.  Suppose also that the first
      client supports NBD_SET_FLAGS, and the first server sends
      NBD_FLAG_SEND_FLUSH; the second pair instead does neither of these two
      things.  Before this patch, the second invocation of NBD_DO_IT will use a
      stale value of nbd->flags, and the second server will issue an error every
      time it receives an NBD_CMD_FLUSH command.
      
      This bug is pre-existing, but it becomes much more important after this
      patch; flush failures make the device pretty much unusable, unlike

      The CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL config item has not carried much meaning for a
      while now and is almost always enabled by default. As agreed during the
      Linux kernel summit, remove it from any "depends on" lines in Kconfigs.

      drbd: fix potential protocol error and resulting disconnect/reconnect · 2681f7f6
      Lars Ellenberg 提交于
      When we notice a disk failure on the receiving side,
      we stop sending it new incoming writes.
      
      Depending on exact timing of various events, the same transfer log epoch
      could end up containing both replicated (before we noticed the failure)
      and local-only requests (after we noticed the failure).
      
      The sanity checks in tl_release(), called when receiving a
      P_BARRIER_ACK, check that the ack'ed transfer log epoch matches
      the expected epoch, and the number of contained writes matches
      the number of ack'ed writes.
      
      In this case, they counted both replicated and local-only writes,
      but the peer only acknowledges those it has seen.  We get a mismatch,
      resulting in a protocol error and disconnect/reconnect cycle.
      
      Messages logged are
        "BAD! BarrierAck #%u received with n_writes=%u, expected n_writes=%u!\n"
      
      A similar issue can also be triggered when starting a resync while
      having a healthy replication link, by invalidating one side, forcing a
      full sync, or attaching to a diskless node.
      
      Fix this by closing the current epoch if the state changes in a way
      that would cause the replication intent of the next write.
      
      Epochs now contain either only non-replicated,
      or only replicated writes.

      Drivers: block: remove __dev* attributes. · 8d85fce7
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option.  As a result, the __dev*
      markings need to be removed.
      
      This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
      __devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.
      
      Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
      in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

      virtio-blk: Don't free ida when disk is in use · f4953fe6
      Alexander Graf 提交于
      When a file system is mounted on a virtio-blk disk, we then remove it
      and then reattach it, the reattached disk gets the same disk name and
      ids as the hot removed one.
      
      This leads to very nasty effects - mostly rendering the newly attached
      device completely unusable.
      
      Trying what happens when I do the same thing with a USB device, I saw
      that the sd node simply doesn't get free'd when a device gets forcefully
      removed.
      
      Imitate the same behavior for vd devices. This way broken vd devices
      simply are never free'd and newly attached ones keep working just fine.
