* [SCSI] scsi_dh: attach to hardware handler from dm-mpathHannes Reinecke2008-07-261-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | multipath keeps a separate device table which may be more current than the built-in one. So we should make sure to always call ->attach whenever a multipath map with hardware handler is instantiated. And we should call ->detach on removal, too.

| * dm snapshot: fix race during exception creationMikulas Patocka2008-07-211-0/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix a race condition that returns incorrect data when a write causes an exception to be allocated whilst a read is still in flight. The race condition happens as follows: * A read to non-reallocated sector in the snapshot is submitted so that the read is routed to the original device. * A write to the original device is submitted. The write causes an exception that reallocates the block. The write proceeds. * The original read is dequeued and reads the wrong data. This race can be triggered with CFQ scheduler and one thread writing and multiple threads reading simultaneously. (This patch relies upon the earlier dm-kcopyd-per-device.patch to avoid a deadlock.)

| * md: Protect access to mddev->disks list using RCUNeilBrown2008-07-212-17/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All modifications and most access to the mddev->disks list are made under the reconfig_mutex lock. However there are three places where the list is walked without any locking. If a reconfig happens at this time, havoc (and oops) can ensue. So use RCU to protect these accesses: - wrap them in rcu_read_{,un}lock() - use list_for_each_entry_rcu - add to the list with list_add_rcu - delete from the list with list_del_rcu - delay the 'free' with call_rcu rather than schedule_work Note that export_rdev did a list_del_init on this list. In almost all cases the entry was not in the list anymore so it was a no-op and so safe. It is no longer safe as after list_del_rcu we may not touch the list_head. An audit shows that export_rdev is called: - after unbind_rdev_from_array, in which case the delete has already been done, - after bind_rdev_to_array fails, in which case the delete isn't needed. - before the device has been put on a list at all (e.g. in add_new_disk where reading the superblock fails). - and in autorun devices after a failure when the device is on a different list. So remove the list_del_init call from export_rdev, and add it back immediately before the called to export_rdev for that last case. Note also that ->same_set is sometimes used for lists other than mddev->list (e.g. candidates). In these cases rcu is not needed. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The checks in overlaps() expect all parameters either in block-based or sector-based quantities. However, its single caller passes two rdev->data_offset arguments as well as two rdev->size arguments, the former being sector counts while the latter are measured in 1K blocks. This could cause rdev_size_store() to accept an invalid size from user space. Fix it by passing only sector-based quantities to overlaps().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - used strict_strtoull in place of simple_strtoull - use my_mddev in place of rdev->mddev (they have the same value) and more significantly, - don't adjust mddev->size to fit, rather reject changes which make rdev->size smaller than mddev->size Adjusting mddev->size is a hangover from bind_rdev_to_array which does a similar thing. But it really is a better design to insist that mddev->size is set as required, then the rdev->sizes are set to allow for that. The previous way invites confusion.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Changing the internal representations of sizes of raid devices from 1K blocks to sector counts (512B units) is desirable because it allows to get rid of many divisions/multiplications and unnecessary casts that are present in the current code. This patch is a first step in this direction. It replaces the old 1K-based "size" argument of update_size() by "num_sectors" and fixes up its two callers.

Two problems: 1/ it assumes the request is coming through an open file descriptor (via ioctl) so it allows for that.

For externally managed metadata this causes a deadlock as userspace needs to take the lock to communicate that the metadata update has completed. Change md_allow_write() in the 'external' case to start the 'mark active' operation and then return -EAGAIN. The expected side effects while waiting for userspace to write 'active' to 'array_state' are holding off reshape (code currently handles -ENOMEM), cause some 'stripe_cache_size' change requests to fail, cause some GET_BITMAP_FILE ioctl requests to fall back to GFP_NOIO, and cause updates to 'raid_disks' to fail. Except for 'stripe_cache_size' changes these failures can be mitigated by coordinating with mdmon. md_write_start() still prevents writes from occurring until the metadata handler has had a chance to take action as it unconditionally waits for MD_CHANGE_CLEAN to be cleared.

When MD registers the compute-xor it tells async_tx to keep the operation handle around so that another item in the dependency chain can be submitted. If we are just computing a block to satisfy a read then we can terminate the chain immediately. raid5_run_ops gives a better context for this test since it cares about the entire chain.

Reduces the scope of the STRIPE_OP_COMPUTE_BLK flag to only tracking whether a compute operation has been requested via the ops_request field of struct stripe_head_state. Note, the compute operation that is performed in the course of doing a 'repair' operation (check the parity block, recalculate it and write it back if the check result is not zero) is tracked separately with the 'check_state' variable. Compute operations are held off while a 'check' is in progress, and moving this check out to handle_issuing_new_read_requests5 the helper routine __handle_issuing_new_read_requests5 can be simplified.

Their use in indicating which operations need to be run is straightforward; however, interpolating what the next state of the stripe should be based on a given combination of these flags is not straightforward, and has led to bugs. An easier to read implementation with minimal degrees of freedom is needed. Towards this goal, this patch introduces explicit states to replace what was previously interpolated from the STRIPE_OP_* flags. For now this only converts the handle_parity_checks5 path, removing a user of the ops.{pending,ack,complete,count} fields of struct stripe_operations. This conversion also found a remaining issue with the current code. There is a small window for a drive to fail between when we schedule a repair and when the parity calculation for that repair completes. When this happens we will writeback to 'failed_num' when we really want to write back to 'pd_idx'. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>
