      [PATCH] md: avoid possible BUG_ON in md bitmap handling · da6e1a32
      Neil Brown 提交于
      md/bitmap tracks how many active write requests are pending on blocks
      associated with each bit in the bitmap, so that it knows when it can clear
      the bit (when count hits zero).
      
      The counter has 14 bits of space, so if there are ever more than 16383, we
      cannot cope.
      
      Currently the code just calles BUG_ON as "all" drivers have request queue
      limits much smaller than this.
      
      However is seems that some don't.  Apparently some multipath configurations
      can allow more than 16383 concurrent write requests.
      
      So, in this unlikely situation, instead of calling BUG_ON we now wait
      for the count to drop down a bit.  This requires a new wait_queue_head,
      some waiting code, and a wakeup call.
      
      Tested by limiting the counter to 20 instead of 16383 (writes go a lot slower
      in that case...).

      [PATCH] md: fix various bugs with aligned reads in RAID5 · 387bb173
      Neil Brown 提交于
      It is possible for raid5 to be sent a bio that is too big for an underlying
      device.  So if it is a READ that we pass stright down to a device, it will
      fail and confuse RAID5.
      
      So in 'chunk_aligned_read' we check that the bio fits within the parameters
      for the target device and if it doesn't fit, fall back on reading through
      the stripe cache and making lots of one-page requests.
      
      Note that this is the earliest time we can check against the device because
      earlier we don't have a lock on the device, so it could change underneath
      us.
      
      Also, the code for handling a retry through the cache when a read fails has
      not been tested and was badly broken.  This patch fixes that code.

      While developing more functionality in mdadm I found some bugs in md...
      
      - When we remove a device from an inactive array (write 'remove' to
        the 'state' sysfs file - see 'state_store') would should not
        update the superblock information - as we may not have
        read and processed it all properly yet.
      
      - initialise all raid_disk entries to '-1' else the 'slot sysfs file
        will claim '0' for all devices in an array before the array is
        started.
      
      - all '\n' not to be present at the end of words written to
        sysfs files
      
      - when we use SET_ARRAY_INFO to set the md metadata version,
        set the flag to say that there is persistant metadata.

      [PATCH] dm: mpath: use noflush suspending · 45e15720
      Kiyoshi Ueda 提交于
      Implement the pushback feature for the multipath target.
      
      The pushback request is used when:
        1) there are no valid paths;
        2) queue_if_no_path was set;
        3) a suspend is being issued with the DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag.
           Otherwise bios are returned to applications with -EIO.
      
      To check whether queue_if_no_path is specified or not, you need to check
      both queue_if_no_path and saved_queue_if_no_path, because presuspend saves
      the original queue_if_no_path value to saved_queue_if_no_path.
      
      The check for 1 already exists in both map_io() and do_end_io().
      So this patch adds __must_push_back() to check 2 and 3.
      
      Test results:
      See the test results in the preceding patch.

      [PATCH] dm: suspend: add noflush pushback · 2e93ccc1
      Kiyoshi Ueda 提交于
      In device-mapper I/O is sometimes queued within targets for later processing.
      For example the multipath target can be configured to store I/O when no paths
      are available instead of returning it -EIO.
      
      This patch allows the device-mapper core to instruct a target to transfer the
      contents of any such in-target queue back into the core.  This frees up the
      resources used by the target so the core can replace that target with an
      alternative one and then resend the I/O to it.  Without this patch the only
      way to change the target in such circumstances involves returning the I/O with
      an error back to the filesystem/application.  In the multipath case, this
      patch will let us add new paths for existing I/O to try after all the existing
      paths have failed.
      
          DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING
          ----------------------
      
      If the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option is specified at suspend time, the
      DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag is set in md->flags during dm_suspend().  It
      is always cleared before dm_suspend() returns.
      
      The flag must be visible while the target is flushing pending I/Os so it
      is set before presuspend where the flush starts and unset after the wait
      for md->pending where the flush ends.
      
      Target drivers can check this flag by calling dm_noflush_suspending().
      
          DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE / DM_ENDIO_REQUEUE
          -----------------------------------
      
      A target's map() function can now return DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE to request the
      device mapper core queue the bio.
      
      Similarly, a target's end_io() function can return DM_ENDIO_REQUEUE to request
      the same.  This has been labelled 'pushback'.
      
      The __map_bio() and clone_endio() functions in the core treat these return
      values as errors and call dec_pending() to end the I/O.
      
          dec_pending
          -----------
      
      dec_pending() saves the pushback request in struct dm_io->error.  Once all
      the split clones have ended, dec_pending() will put the original bio on
      the md->pushback list.  Note that this supercedes any I/O errors.
      
      It is possible for the suspend with DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG to be aborted while
      in progress (e.g. by user interrupt).  dec_pending() checks for this and
      returns -EIO if it happened.
      
          pushdback list and pushback_lock
          --------------------------------
      
      The bio is queued on md->pushback temporarily in dec_pending(), and after
      all pending I/Os return, md->pushback is merged into md->deferred in
      dm_suspend() for re-issuing at resume time.
      
      md->pushback_lock protects md->pushback.
      The lock should be held with irq disabled because dec_pending() can be
      called from interrupt context.
      
      Queueing bios to md->pushback in dec_pending() must be done atomically
      with the check for DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag.  So md->pushback_lock is
      held when checking the flag.  Otherwise dec_pending() may queue a bio to
      md->pushback after the interrupted dm_suspend() flushes md->pushback.
      Then the bio would be left in md->pushback.
      
      Flag setting in dm_suspend() can be done without md->pushback_lock because
      the flag is checked only after presuspend and the set value is already
      made visible via the target's presuspend function.
      
      The flag can be checked without md->pushback_lock (e.g. the first part of
      the dec_pending() or target drivers), because the flag is checked again
      with md->pushback_lock held when the bio is really queued to md->pushback
      as described above.  So even if the flag is cleared after the lockless
      checkings, the bio isn't left in md->pushback but returned to applications
      with -EIO.
      
          Other notes on the current patch
          --------------------------------
      
      - md->pushback is added to the struct mapped_device instead of using
        md->deferred directly because md->io_lock which protects md->deferred is
        rw_semaphore and can't be used in interrupt context like dec_pending(),
        and md->io_lock protects the DMF_BLOCK_IO flag of md->flags too.
      
      - Don't issue lock_fs() in dm_suspend() if the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG
        ioctl option is specified, because I/Os generated by lock_fs() would be
        pushed back and never return if there were no valid devices.
      
      - If an error occurs in dm_suspend() after the DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING
        flag is set, md->pushback must be flushed because I/Os may be queued to
        the list already.  (flush_and_out label in dm_suspend())
      
          Test results
          ------------
      
      I have tested using multipath target with the next patch.
      
      The following tests are for regression/compatibility:
        - I/Os succeed when valid paths exist;
        - I/Os fail when there are no valid paths and queue_if_no_path is not
          set;
        - I/Os are queued in the multipath target when there are no valid paths and
          queue_if_no_path is set;
        - The queued I/Os above fail when suspend is issued without the
          DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option.  I/Os spanning 2 multipath targets also
          fail.
      
      The following tests are for the normal code path of new pushback feature:
        - Queued I/Os in the multipath target are flushed from the target
          but don't return when suspend is issued with the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG
          ioctl option;
        - The I/Os above are queued in the multipath target again when
          resume is issued without path recovery;
        - The I/Os above succeed when resume is issued after path recovery
          or table load;
        - Queued I/Os in the multipath target succeed when resume is issued
          with the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option after table load. I/Os
          spanning 2 multipath targets also succeed.
      
      The following tests are for the error paths of the new pushback feature:
        - When the bdget_disk() fails in dm_suspend(), the
          DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag is cleared and I/Os already queued to the
          pushback list are flushed properly.
        - When suspend with the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option is interrupted,
            o I/Os which had already been queued to the pushback list
              at the time don't return, and are re-issued at resume time;
            o I/Os which hadn't been returned at the time return with EIO.
