2007-10-20dm log: split suspendJonathan Brassow1-1/+1
There are now two phases to a suspend in device-mapper - presuspend and postsuspend. This patch removes the single 'suspend' in the logging API and replaces it with 'presuspend' and 'postsuspend' functions to align it better with core device-mapper. A subsequent patch will make use of 'presuspend'. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Brassow <jbrassow@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>

2007-07-12dm raid1: handle log failureJonathan Brassow1-4/+8
When writing to a mirror, the log must be updated first. Failure to update the log could result in the log not properly reflecting the state of the mirror if the machine should crash. We change the return type of the rh_flush function to give us the ability to check if a log write was successful. If the log write was unsuccessful, we fail the writes to avoid the case where the log does not properly reflect the state of the mirror. A follow-up patch - which is dependent on the ability to requeue I/O's to core device-mapper - will requeue the I/O's for retry (allowing the mirror to be reconfigured.)

2007-07-12dm raid1: handle resync failuresJonathan Brassow1-3/+41
Device-mapper mirroring currently takes a best effort approach to recovery - failures during mirror synchronization are completely ignored. This means that regions are marked 'in-sync' and 'clean' and removed from the hash list. Future reads and writes that query the region will incorrectly interpret the region as in-sync. This patch handles failures during the recovery process. If a failure occurs, the region is marked as 'not-in-sync' (aka RH_NOSYNC) and added to a new list 'failed_recovered_regions'. Regions on the 'failed_recovered_regions' list are not marked as 'clean' upon removal from the list. Furthermore, if the DM_RAID1_HANDLE_ERRORS flag is set, the region is marked as 'not-in-sync'. This action prevents any future read-balancing from choosing an invalid device because of the 'not-in-sync' status. If "handle_errors" is not specified when creating a mirror (leaving the DM_RAID1_HANDLE_ERRORS flag unset), failures will be ignored exactly as they would be without this patch. This is to preserve backwards compatibility with user-space tools, such as 'pvmove'. However, since future read-balancing policies will rely on the correct sync status of a region, a user must choose "handle_errors" when using read-balancing.

2007-07-12dm raid1: clear region outside spinlockJonathan Brassow1-6/+6
A clear_region function is permitted to block (in practice, rare) but gets called in rh_update_states() with a spinlock held. The bits being marked and cleared by the above functions are used to update the on-disk log, but are never read directly. We can perform these operations outside the spinlock since the bits are only changed within one thread viz. - mark_region in rh_inc() - clear_region in rh_update_states(). So, we grab the clean_regions list items via list_splice() within the spinlock and defer clear_region() until we iterate over the list for deletion - similar to how the recovered_regions list is already handled. We then move the flush() call down to ensure it encapsulates the changes which are done by the later calls to clear_region().

2007-05-09dm raid1: fix to commit pending clear region requestsJonathan Brassow1-2/+1
With the code as it is, it is possible for oustanding clear region requests never to get flushed when a mirror is deactivated or suspended. This means there will always be some resync work required when a mirror is activated, even though it may very well be in-sync. Always requesting the flush doesn't hurt us. This is because the log tracks whether any changes occurred and, if not, no flush is performed.

2007-05-09dm raid1: one kmirrord per mirrorHolger Smolinski1-54/+27
This patch replaces the single instance of kmirrord by one instance per mirror set. This change is required to avoid a deadlock in kmirrord when the persistent dirty log of a mirror itself resides on a mirror. The single instance of kmirrord then issues a sync write to the dirty log in write_bits which gets deferred to kmirrord itself later in the call chain. But kmirrord never does the deferred work because it is still waiting for the sync write_bits. _mirror_sets is removed as it no longer needed, and we always flush the workqueue before destroying it to ensure all work is complete before destroying it.

2006-08-27[PATCH] dm: Fix deadlock under high i/o load in raid1 setup.Daniel Kobras1-1/+3
On an nForce4-equipped machine with two SATA disk in raid1 setup using dmraid, we experienced frequent deadlock of the system under high i/o load. 'cat /dev/zero > ~/zero' was the most reliable way to reproduce them: Randomly after a few GB, 'cp' would be left in 'D' state along with kjournald and kmirrord. The functions cp and kjournald were blocked in did vary, but kmirrord's wchan always pointed to 'mempool_alloc()'. We've seen this pattern on 2.6.15 and 2.6.17 kernels. http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/4/20/142 indicates that this problem has been around even before. So much for the facts, here's my interpretation: mempool_alloc() first tries to atomically allocate the requested memory, or falls back to hand out preallocated chunks from the mempool. If both fail, it puts the calling process (kmirrord in this case) on a private waitqueue until somebody refills the pool. Where the only 'somebody' is kmirrord itself, so we have a deadlock. I worked around this problem by falling back to a (blocking) kmalloc when before kmirrord would have ended up on the waitqueue. This defeats part of the benefits of using the mempool, but at least keeps the system running. And it could be done with a two-line change. Note that mempool_alloc() clears the GFP_NOIO flag internally, and only uses it to decide whether to wait or return an error if immediate allocation fails, so the attached patch doesn't change behaviour in the non-deadlocking case. Path is against current git (2.6.18-rc4), but should apply to earlier versions as well. I've tested on 2.6.15, where this patch makes the difference between random lockup and a stable system.

On-disk logs for dm-mirror devices are currently hard-coded to use 512 byte hard-sector-sizes. This patch fixes dm-log so it will work with devices with non-512-byte hard-sector-sizes. To maintain full compatibility, instead of moving the clean-bits bitset to a bitset, and enlarges the disk-header buffer to encompass both the header and the bitset.

2006-06-26[PATCH] dm: mirror sector offset fixNeil Brown1-31/+32
The device-mapper core does not perform any remapping of bios before passing them to the targets. If a particular mapping begins part-way into a device, targets obtain the sector relative to the start of the mapping by subtracting ti->begin. The dm-raid1 target didn't do this everywhere: this patch fixes it, taking care to subtract ti->begin exactly once for each bio.

2006-03-27[PATCH] drivers/md/dm-raid1.c: Fix inconsistent mirroring after interrupted recoveryJun'ichi Nomura1-1/+13
dm-mirror has potential data corruption problem: while on-disk log shows that all disk contents are in-sync, actual contents of the disks are not synchronized. This problem occurs if initial recovery (synching) is interrupted and resumed. Attached patch fixes this problem. Background: rh_dec() changes the region state from RH_NOSYNC (out-of-sync) to RH_CLEAN (in-sync), which results in the corresponding bit of clean_bits being set. This is harmful if on-disk log is used and the map is removed/suspended before the initial sync is completed. The clean_bits is written down to the on-disk log at the map removal, and, upon resume, it's read and copied to sync_bits. Since the recovery process refers to the sync_bits to find a region to be recovered, the region whose state was changed from RH_NOSYNC to RH_CLEAN is no longer recovered. If you haven't applied dm-raid1-read-balancing.patch proposed in dm-devel sometimes ago, the contents of the mirrored disk just corrupt silently. If you have, balanced read may get bogus data from out-of-sync disks. The patch keeps RH_NOSYNC state unchanged. It will be changed to RH_RECOVERING when recovery starts and get reclaimed when the recovery completes. So it doesn't leak the region hash entry. Description: Keep RH_NOSYNC state unchanged when I/O on the region completes. rh_dec() changes the region state from RH_NOSYNC (out-of-sync) to RH_CLEAN (in-sync), which results in the corresponding bit of clean_bits being set. This is harmful if on-disk log is used and the map is removed/suspended before the initial sync is completed. The clean_bits is written down to the on-disk log at the map removal, and, upon resume, it's read and copied to sync_bits. Since the recovery process refers to the sync_bits to find a region to be recovered, the region whose state was changed from RH_NOSYNC to RH_CLEAN is no longer recovered.

The RH_NOSYNC region will be changed to RH_RECOVERING when recovery starts on the region and get reclaimed when the recovery completes. So it doesn't leak the region hash entry. Alasdair said: I've analysed the relevant part of the state machine and I believe that the patch is correct. (Further work on this code is still needed - this patch has the side-effect of holding onto memory unnecessarily for long periods of time under certain workloads - but better that than corrupting data.)
