2018-12-20drbd: introduce P_ZEROES (REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES on the "wire")Lars Ellenberg1-1/+1
And also re-enable partial-zero-out + discard aligned. With the introduction of REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES, we started to use that for both WRITE_ZEROES and DISCARDS, hoping that WRITE_ZEROES would "do what we want", UNMAP if possible, zero-out the rest. The example scenario is some LVM "thin" backend. While an un-allocated block on dm-thin reads as zeroes, on a dm-thin with "skip_block_zeroing=true", after a partial block write allocated that block, that same block may well map "undefined old garbage" from the backends on LBAs that have not yet been written to. If we cannot distinguish between zero-out and discard on the receiving side, to avoid "undefined old garbage" to pop up randomly at later times on supposedly zero-initialized blocks, we'd need to map all discards to zero-out on the receiving side. But that would potentially do a full alloc on thinly provisioned backends, even when the expectation was to unmap/trim/discard/de-allocate. We need to distinguish on the protocol level, whether we need to guarantee zeroes (and thus use zero-out, potentially doing the mentioned full-alloc), or if we want to put the emphasis on discard, and only do a "best effort zeroing" (by "discarding" blocks aligned to discard-granularity, and zeroing only potential unaligned head and tail clippings to at least *try* to avoid "false positives" in an online-verify later), hoping that someone set skip_block_zeroing=false. For some discussion regarding this on dm-devel, see also https://www.mail-archive.com/dm-devel%40redhat.com/msg07965.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2018-January/msg00271.html For backward compatibility, P_TRIM means zero-out, unless the DRBD_FF_WZEROES feature flag is agreed upon during handshake. To have upper layers even try to submit WRITE ZEROES requests, we need to announce "efficient zeroout" independently. We need to fixup max_write_zeroes_sectors after blk_queue_stack_limits(): if we can handle "zeroes" efficiently on the protocol, we want to do that, even if our backend does not announce max_write_zeroes_sectors itself.

2014-07-10drbd: device->ldev is not guaranteed on an D_ATTACHING diskPhilipp Reisner1-1/+1
Some parts of the code assumed that get_ldev_if_state(device, D_ATTACHING) is sufficient to access the ldev member of the device object. That was wrong. ldev may not be there or might be freed at any time if the device has a disk state of D_ATTACHING. bm_rw() Documented that drbd_bm_read() is only called from drbd_adm_attach. drbd_bm_write() is only called when a reference is held, and it is documented that a caller has to hold a reference before calling drbd_bm_write() drbd_bm_write_page() Use get_ldev() instead of get_ldev_if_state(device, D_ATTACHING) drbd_bmio_set_n_write() No longer use get_ldev_if_state(device, D_ATTACHING). All callers hold a reference to ldev now. drbd_bmio_clear_n_write() All callers where holding a reference of ldev anyways. Remove the misleading get_ldev_if_state(device, D_ATTACHING) drbd_reconsider_max_bio_size() Removed the get_ldev_if_state(device, D_ATTACHING). All callers now pass a struct drbd_backing_dev* when they have a proper reference, or a NULL pointer. Before this fix, the receiver could trigger a NULL pointer deref when in drbd_reconsider_max_bio_size() drbd_bump_write_ordering() Used get_ldev_if_state(device, D_ATTACHING) with the wrong assumption. Remove it, and allow the caller to pass in a struct drbd_backing_dev* when the caller knows that accessing this bdev is safe.

2013-06-28drbd: Allow online change of al-stripes and al-stripe-sizePhilipp Reisner1-1/+5
Allow to change the AL layout with an resize operation. For that the reisze command gets two new fields: al_stripes and al_stripe_size. In order to make the operation crash save: 1) Lock out all IO and MD-IO 2) Write the super block with MDF_PRIMARY_IND clear 3) write the bitmap to the new location (all zeros, since we allow only while connected) 4) Initialize the new AL-area 5) Write the super block with the restored MDF_PRIMARY_IND. 6) Unfreeze all IO Since the AL-layout has no influence on the protocol, this operation needs to be beforemed on both sides of a resource (if intended).

2013-03-28drbd: Fix disconnect to keep the peer disk state if connection breaks during operationPhilipp Reisner1-1/+2
The issue was that if the connection broke while we did the gracefull state change to C_DISCONNECTING (C_TEARDOWN), then we returned a success code from the state engine. (SS_CW_NO_NEED) The result of that is that we missed to call the fence-peer script in such a case. Fixed that by introducing a new error code (SS_OUTDATE_WO_CONN).

2012-11-08drbd: on attach, enforce clean meta dataLars Ellenberg1-1/+9
Detection of unclean shutdown has moved into user space. The kernel code will, whenever it updates the meta data, mark it as "unclean", and will refuse to attach to such unclean meta data. "drbdadm up" now schedules "drbdmeta apply-al", which will apply the activity log to the bitmap, and/or reinitialize it, if necessary, as well as set a "clean" indicator flag. This moves a bit code out of kernel space. As a side effect, it also prevents some 8.3 module from accidentally ignoring the 8.4 style activity log, if someone should downgrade, whether on purpose, or accidentally because he changed kernel versions without providing an 8.4 for the new kernel, and the new kernel comes with in-tree 8.3.

2012-11-08drbd: Introduce protocol version 100 headersAndreas Gruenbacher1-0/+1
The 8 byte header finally becomes too small. With the protocol 100 header we have 16 bit for the volume number, proper 32 bit for the data length, and 32 bit for further extensions in the future. Previous versions of drbd are using version 80 headers for all packets short enough for protocol 80. They support both header versions in worker context, but only version 80 headers in asynchronous context. For backwards compatibility, continue to use version 80 headers for short packets before protocol version 100. From protocol version 100 on, use the same header version for all packets.

2011-05-24drbd: fix schedule in atomicLars Ellenberg1-1/+1
An administrative detach used to request a state change directly to D_DISKLESS, first suspending IO to avoid the last put_ldev() occuring from an endio handler, potentially in irq context. This is not enough on the receiving side (typically secondary), we may miss some peer_req on the way to local disk, which then may do the last put_ldev() from their drbd_peer_request_endio(). This patch makes the detach always go through the intermediate D_FAILED state. We may consider to rename it D_DETACHING. Alternative approach would be to create yet an other work item to be scheduled on the worker, do the destructor work from there, and get the timing right. manually picked commit 564040f from the drbd 8.4 branch.

2010-10-15drbd: add race-breaker to drbd_go_disklessLars Ellenberg1-1/+1
This adds a necessary race breaker to these commits: drbd: fix for possible deadlock on IO error during resync drbd: drop wrong debug asserts, fix recently introduced race What we do is get a refcount, check the state, then depending on the state and the requested minimum disk state, either hold it (success), or give it back immediately (failed "try lock"). Some code paths (flushing of drbd metadata) may still grab and hold a refcount even if we are D_FAILED (application IO won't). So even if we hit local_cnt == 0 once after being D_FAILED, we still need to wait for that again after we changed to D_DISKLESS. Once local_cnt reaches 0 while we are D_DISKLESS, we can be sure that no one will look at the protected members anymore, so only then is it safe to free them. We cannot easily convert to standard locking primitives here, as we want to be able to use it in atomic context (we always do a "try lock"), as well as hold references for a "long time" (from IO submission to completion callback).
