      md-cluster: use sync way to handle METADATA_UPDATED msg · 0ba95977
      Guoqing Jiang 提交于
      Previously, when node received METADATA_UPDATED msg, it just
      need to wakeup mddev->thread, then md_reload_sb will be called
      eventually.
      
      We taken the asynchronous way to avoid a deadlock issue, the
      deadlock issue could happen when one node is receiving the
      METADATA_UPDATED msg (wants reconfig_mutex) and trying to run
      the path:
      
      md_check_recovery -> mddev_trylock(hold reconfig_mutex)
                        -> md_update_sb-metadata_update_start
      		     (want EX on token however token is
      		      got by the sending node)
      
      Since we will support resizing for clustered raid, and we
      need the metadata update handling to be synchronous so that
      the initiating node can detect failure, so we need to change
      the way for handling METADATA_UPDATED msg.
      
      But, we obviously need to avoid above deadlock with the
      sync way. To make this happen, we considered to not hold
      reconfig_mutex to call md_reload_sb, if some other thread
      has already taken reconfig_mutex and waiting for the 'token',
      then process_recvd_msg() can safely call md_reload_sb()
      without taking the mutex. This is because we can be certain
      that no other thread will take the mutex, and we also certain
      that the actions performed by md_reload_sb() won't interfere
      with anything that the other thread is in the middle of.
      
      To make this more concrete, we added a new cinfo->state bit
              MD_CLUSTER_HOLDING_MUTEX_FOR_RECVD
      
      Which is set in lock_token() just before dlm_lock_sync() is
      called, and cleared just after. As lock_token() is always
      called with reconfig_mutex() held (the specific case is the
      resync_info_update which is distinguished well in previous
      patch), if process_recvd_msg() finds that the new bit is set,
      then the mutex must be held by some other thread, and it will
      keep waiting.
      
      So process_metadata_update() can call md_reload_sb() if either
      mddev_trylock() succeeds, or if MD_CLUSTER_HOLDING_MUTEX_FOR_RECVD
      is set. The tricky bit is what to do if neither of these apply.
      We need to wait. Fortunately mddev_unlock() always calls wake_up()
      on mddev->thread->wqueue. So we can get lock_token() to call
      wake_up() on that when it sets the bit.
      
      There are also some related changes inside this commit:
      1. remove RELOAD_SB related codes since there are not valid anymore.
      2. mddev is added into md_cluster_info then we can get mddev inside
         lock_token.
      3. add new parameter for lock_token to distinguish reconfig_mutex
         is held or not.
      
      And, we need to set MD_CLUSTER_HOLDING_MUTEX_FOR_RECVD in below:
      1. set it before unregister thread, otherwise a deadlock could
         appear if stop a resyncing array.
         This is because md_unregister_thread(&cinfo->recv_thread) is
         blocked by recv_daemon -> process_recvd_msg
      			  -> process_metadata_update.
         To resolve the issue, MD_CLUSTER_HOLDING_MUTEX_FOR_RECVD is
         also need to be set before unregister thread.
      2. set it in metadata_update_start to fix another deadlock.
      	a. Node A sends METADATA_UPDATED msg (held Token lock).
      	b. Node B wants to do resync, and is blocked since it can't
      	   get Token lock, but MD_CLUSTER_HOLDING_MUTEX_FOR_RECVD is
      	   not set since the callchain
      	   (md_do_sync -> sync_request
              	       -> resync_info_update
      		       -> sendmsg
      		       -> lock_comm -> lock_token)
      	   doesn't hold reconfig_mutex.
      	c. Node B trys to update sb (held reconfig_mutex), but stopped
      	   at wait_event() in metadata_update_start since we have set
      	   MD_CLUSTER_SEND_LOCK flag in lock_comm (step 2).
      	d. Then Node B receives METADATA_UPDATED msg from A, of course
      	   recv_daemon is blocked forever.
         Since metadata_update_start always calls lock_token with reconfig_mutex,
         we need to set MD_CLUSTER_HOLDING_MUTEX_FOR_RECVD here as well, and
         lock_token don't need to set it twice unless lock_token is invoked from
         lock_comm.
      
      Finally, thanks to Neil for his great idea and help!

      blk: Ensure users for current->bio_list can see the full list. · f5fe1b51
      NeilBrown 提交于
      Commit 79bd9959 ("blk: improve order of bio handling in generic_make_request()")
      changed current->bio_list so that it did not contain *all* of the
      queued bios, but only those submitted by the currently running
      make_request_fn.
      
      There are two places which walk the list and requeue selected bios,
      and others that check if the list is empty.  These are no longer
      correct.
      
      So redefine current->bio_list to point to an array of two lists, which
      contain all queued bios, and adjust various code to test or walk both
      lists.
