      License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with a license · e2be04c7
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either
      incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the
      license under which the file is supposed to be.  This makes it hard for
      compliance tools to determine the correct license.
      
      Update these files with an SPDX license identifier.  The identifier was
      chosen based on the license information in the file.
      
      GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license
      identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is
      the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall
      exception:
      
         NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
         services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
         of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".
      
      This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL
      code, without confusing license compliance tools.
      
      Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed
      under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX
      identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier.  The format
      is:
              ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE)
      
      SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be
      used instead of the full boiler plate text.  The update does not remove
      existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case
      basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will
      happen in a separate step.
      
      This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
      Philippe Ombredanne.  See the previous patch in this series for the
      methodology of how this patch was researched.

      dm log userspace: allow mark requests to piggyback on flush requests · 5066a4df
      Dongmao Zhang 提交于
      In the cluster evironment, cluster write has poor performance because
      userspace_flush() has to contact a userspace program (cmirrord) for
      clear/mark/flush requests.  But both mark and flush requests require
      cmirrord to communicate the message to all the cluster nodes for each
      flush call.  This behaviour is really slow.
      
      To address this we now merge mark and flush requests together to reduce
      the kernel-userspace-kernel time.  We allow a new directive,
      "integrated_flush" that can be used to instruct the kernel log code to
      combine flush and mark requests when directed by userspace.  If not
      directed by userspace (due to an older version of the userspace code
      perhaps), the kernel will function as it did previously - preserving
      backwards compatibility.  Additionally, flush requests are performed
      lazily when only clear requests exist.

      dm log userspace: add log device dependency · 5a25f0eb
      Jonathan E Brassow 提交于
      Allow userspace dm log implementations to register their log device so it
      is no longer missing from the list of device dependencies.
      
      When device mapper targets use a device they normally call dm_get_device
      which includes it in the device list returned to userspace applications
      such as LVM through the DM_TABLE_DEPS ioctl.  Userspace log devices
      don't use dm_get_device as userspace opens them so they are missing from
      the list of dependencies.
      
      This patch extends the DM_ULOG_CTR operation to allow userspace to
      respond with the name of the log device (if appropriate) to be
      registered via 'dm_get_device'.  DM_ULOG_REQUEST_VERSION is incremented.
      
      This is backwards compatible.  If the kernel and userspace log server
      have both been updated, the new information will be passed down to the
      kernel and the device will be registered.  If the kernel is new, but
      the log server is old, the log server will not pass down any device
      information and the kernel will simply bypass the device registration
      as before.  If the kernel is old but the log server is new, the log
      server will see the old version number and not pass the device info.

      dm log: userspace add luid to distinguish between concurrent log instances · 7ec23d50
      Jonathan Brassow 提交于
      Device-mapper userspace logs (like the clustered log) are
      identified by a universally unique identifier (UUID).  This
      identifier is used to associate requests from the kernel to
      a specific log in userspace.  The UUID must be unique everywhere,
      since multiple machines may use this identifier when communicating
      about a particular log, as is the case for cluster logs.
      
      Sometimes, device-mapper/LVM may re-use a UUID.  This is the
      case during pvmoves, when moving from one segment of an LV
      to another, or when resizing a mirror, etc.  In these cases,
      a new log is created with the same UUID and loaded in the
      "inactive" slot.  When a device-mapper "resume" is issued,
      the "live" table is deactivated and the new "inactive" table
      becomes "live".  (The "inactive" table can also be removed
      via a device-mapper 'clear' command.)
      
      The above two issues were colliding.  More than one log was being
      created with the same UUID, and there was no way to distinguish
      between them.  So, sometimes the wrong log would be swapped
      out during the exchange.
      
      The solution is to create a locally unique identifier,
      'luid', to go along with the UUID.  This new identifier is used
      to determine exactly which log is being referenced by the kernel
      when the log exchange is made.  The identifier is not
      universally safe, but it does not need to be, since
      create/destroy/suspend/resume operations are bound to a specific
      machine; and these are the operations that make up the exchange.

      dm raid1: add userspace log · f5db4af4
      Jonthan Brassow 提交于
      This patch contains a device-mapper mirror log module that forwards
      requests to userspace for processing.
      
      The structures used for communication between kernel and userspace are
      located in include/linux/dm-log-userspace.h.  Due to the frequency,
      diversity, and 2-way communication nature of the exchanges between
      kernel and userspace, 'connector' was chosen as the interface for
      communication.
      
      The first log implementations written in userspace - "clustered-disk"
      and "clustered-core" - support clustered shared storage.   A userspace
      daemon (in the LVM2 source code repository) uses openAIS/corosync to
      process requests in an ordered fashion with the rest of the nodes in the
      cluster so as to prevent log state corruption.  Other implementations
      with no association to LVM or openAIS/corosync, are certainly possible.
      
      (Imagine if two machines are writing to the same region of a mirror.
      They would both mark the region dirty, but you need a cluster-aware
      entity that can handle properly marking the region clean when they are
      done.  Otherwise, you might clear the region when the first machine is
      done, not the second.)
