      target/file: Use O_DSYNC by default for FILEIO backends · a4dff304
      Nicholas Bellinger 提交于
      Convert to use O_DSYNC for all cases at FILEIO backend creation time to
      avoid the extra syncing of pure timestamp updates with legacy O_SYNC during
      default operation as recommended by hch.  Continue to do this independently of
      Write Cache Enable (WCE) bit, as WCE=0 is currently the default for all backend
      devices and enabled by user on per device basis via attrib/emulate_write_cache.
      
      This patch drops the now unnecessary fd_buffered_io= token usage that was
      originally signalling when to explictly disable O_SYNC at backend creation
      time for buffered I/O operation.  This can end up being dangerous for a number
      of reasons during physical node failure, so go ahead and drop this option
      for now when O_DSYNC is used as the default.
      
      Also allow explict FUA WRITEs -> vfs_fsync_range() call to function in
      fd_execute_cmd() independently of WCE bit setting.

      dm thin: provide userspace access to pool metadata · cc8394d8
      Joe Thornber 提交于
      This patch implements two new messages that can be sent to the thin
      pool target allowing it to take a snapshot of the _metadata_.  This,
      read-only snapshot can be accessed by userland, concurrently with the
      live target.
      
      Only one metadata snapshot can be held at a time.  The pool's status
      line will give the block location for the current msnap.
      
      Since version 0.1.5 of the userland thin provisioning tools, the
      thin_dump program displays the msnap as follows:
      
          thin_dump -m <msnap root> <metadata dev>
      
      Available here: https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools
      
      Now that userland can access the metadata we can do various things
      that have traditionally been kernel side tasks:
      
           i) Incremental backups.
      
           By using metadata snapshots we can work out what blocks have
           changed over time.  Combined with data snapshots we can ensure
           the data doesn't change while we back it up.
      
           A short proof of concept script can be found here:
      
           https://github.com/jthornber/thinp-test-suite/blob/master/incremental_backup_example.rb
      
           ii) Migration of thin devices from one pool to another.
      
           iii) Merging snapshots back into an external origin.
      
           iv) Asyncronous replication.

      dm thin: use slab mempools · a24c2569
      Mike Snitzer 提交于
      Use dedicated caches prefixed with a "dm_" name rather than relying on
      kmalloc mempools backed by generic slab caches so the memory usage of
      thin provisioning (and any leaks) can be accounted for independently.

      dm mpath: allow ioctls to trigger pg init · 35991652
      Mikulas Patocka 提交于
      After the failure of a group of paths, any alternative paths that
      need initialising do not become available until further I/O is sent to
      the device.  Until this has happened, ioctls return -EAGAIN.
      
      With this patch, new paths are made available in response to an ioctl
      too.  The processing of the ioctl gets delayed until this has happened.
      
      Instead of returning an error, we submit a work item to kmultipathd
      (that will potentially activate the new path) and retry in ten
      milliseconds.
      
      Note that the patch doesn't retry an ioctl if the ioctl itself fails due
      to a path failure.  Such retries should be handled intelligently by the
      code that generated the ioctl in the first place, noting that some SCSI
      commands should not be retried because they are not idempotent (XOR write
      commands).  For commands that could be retried, there is a danger that
      if the device rejected the SCSI command, the path could be errorneously
      marked as failed, and the request would be retried on another path which
      might fail too.  It can be determined if the failure happens on the
      device or on the SCSI controller, but there is no guarantee that all
      SCSI drivers set these flags correctly.

      dm mpath: delay retry of bypassed pg · f220fd4e
      Mike Christie 提交于
      If I/O needs retrying and only bypassed priority groups are available,
      set the pg_init_delay_retry flag to wait before retrying.
      
      If, for example, the reason for the bypass is that the controller is
      getting reset or there is a firmware upgrade happening, retrying right
      away would cause a flood of log messages and retries for what could be a
      few seconds or even several minutes.

      Move multipath structure's 'lock' and 'queue_size' members to eliminate
      two 4-byte holes.  Also use a bit within a single unsigned int for each
      existing flag (saves 8-bytes).  This allows future flags to be added

      tty: Revert the tty locking series, it needs more work · f309532b
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This reverts the tty layer change to use per-tty locking, because it's
      not correct yet, and fixing it will require some more deep surgery.
      
      The main revert is d29f3ef3 ("tty_lock: Localise the lock"), but
      there are several smaller commits that built upon it, they also get
      reverted here. The list of reverted commits is:
      
        fde86d31 - tty: add lockdep annotations
        8f6576ad - tty: fix ldisc lock inversion trace
        d3ca8b64 - pty: Fix lock inversion
        b1d679af - tty: drop the pty lock during hangup
        abcefe5f - tty/amiserial: Add missing argument for tty_unlock()
        fd11b42e - cris: fix missing tty arg in wait_event_interruptible_tty call
        d29f3ef3 - tty_lock: Localise the lock
      
      The revert had a trivial conflict in the 68360serial.c staging driver
      that got removed in the meantime.
