2009-01-09md: raid0 create_strip_zones(): Add KERN_INFO/KERN_ERR to printk's.Andre Noll
This patch consists only of these trivial changes. Signed-off-by: Andre Noll <maan@systemlinux.org> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-01-09md: raid0 create_strip_zones(): Make two local variables sector-based.Andre Noll
current_offset and curr_zone_offset stored the corresponding offsets as 1K quantities. Rename them to current_start and curr_zone_start to match the naming of struct strip_zone and store the offsets as sector counts. Also, add KERN_INFO to the printk() affected by this change to make checkpatch happy. Signed-off-by: Andre Noll <maan@systemlinux.org> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2009-01-06dm: add name and uuid to sysfsMilan Broz
Implement simple read-only sysfs entry for device-mapper block device. This patch adds a simple sysfs directory named "dm" under block device properties and implements - name attribute (string containing mapped device name) - uuid attribute (string containing UUID, or empty string if not set) The kobject is embedded in mapped_device struct, so no additional memory allocation is needed for initializing sysfs entry. During the processing of sysfs attribute we need to lock mapped device which is done by a new function dm_get_from_kobj, which returns the md associated with kobject and increases the usage count. Each 'show attribute' function is responsible for its own locking. Signed-off-by: Milan Broz <mbroz@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
2009-01-06dm table: rework reference countingMikulas Patocka
Rework table reference counting. The existing code uses a reference counter. When the last reference is dropped and the counter reaches zero, the table destructor is called. Table reference counters are acquired/released from upcalls from other kernel code (dm_any_congested, dm_merge_bvec, dm_unplug_all). If the reference counter reaches zero in one of the upcalls, the table destructor is called from almost random kernel code. This leads to various problems: * dm_any_congested being called under a spinlock, which calls the destructor, which calls some sleeping function. * the destructor attempting to take a lock that is already taken by the same process. * stale reference from some other kernel code keeps the table constructed, which keeps some devices open, even after successful return from "dmsetup remove". This can confuse lvm and prevent closing of underlying devices or reusing device minor numbers. The patch changes reference counting so that the table destructor can be called only at predetermined places. The table has always exactly one reference from either mapped_device->map or hash_cell->new_map. After this patch, this reference is not counted in table->holders. A pair of dm_create_table/dm_destroy_table functions is used for table creation/destruction. Temporary references from the other code increase table->holders. A pair of dm_table_get/dm_table_put functions is used to manipulate it. When the table is about to be destroyed, we wait for table->holders to reach 0. Then, we call the table destructor. We use active waiting with msleep(1), because the situation happens rarely (to one user in 5 years) and removing the device isn't performance-critical task: the user doesn't care if it takes one tick more or not. This way, the destructor is called only at specific points (dm_table_destroy function) and the above problems associated with lazy destruction can't happen. Finally remove the temporary protection added to dm_any_congested(). Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
2009-01-06dm: support barriers on simple devicesAndi Kleen
Implement barrier support for single device DM devices This patch implements barrier support in DM for the common case of dm linear just remapping a single underlying device. In this case we can safely pass the barrier through because there can be no reordering between devices. NB. Any DM device might cease to support barriers if it gets reconfigured so code must continue to allow for a possible -EOPNOTSUPP on every barrier bio submitted. - agk Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>

2009-01-06dm: consolidate target deregistration error handlingMikulas Patocka
Change dm_unregister_target to return void and use BUG() for error reporting. dm_unregister_target can only fail because of programming bug in the target driver. It can't fail because of user's behavior or disk errors. This patch changes unregister_target to return void and use BUG if someone tries to unregister non-registered target or unregister target that is in use. This patch removes code duplication (testing of error codes in all dm targets) and reports bugs in just one place, in dm_unregister_target. In some target drivers, these return codes were ignored, which could lead to a situation where bugs could be missed.

2009-01-06dm raid1: fix error countJonathan Brassow
Always increase the error count when I/O on a leg of a mirror fails. The error count is used to decide whether to select an alternative mirror leg. If the target doesn't use the "handle_errors" feature, the error count is not updated and the bio can get requeued forever by the read callback. Fix it by increasing error_count before the handle_errors feature checking.

2008-12-29bio: allow individual slabs in the bio_setJens Axboe
Instead of having a global bio slab cache, add a reference to one in each bio_set that is created. This allows for personalized slabs in each bio_set, so that they can have bios of different sizes. This means we can personalize the bios we return. File systems may want to embed the bio inside another structure, to avoid allocation more items (and stuffing them in ->bi_private) after the get a bio. Or we may want to embed a number of bio_vecs directly at the end of a bio, to avoid doing two allocations to return a bio. This is now possible. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2008-12-19md: Don't read past end of bitmap when reading bitmap.NeilBrown
When we read the write-intent-bitmap off the device, we currently read a whole number of pages. When PAGE_SIZE is 4K, this works due to the alignment we enforce on the superblock and bitmap. When PAGE_SIZE is 64K, this case read past the end-of-device which causes an error. When we write the superblock, we ensure to clip the last page to just be the required size. Copy that code into the read path to just read the required number of sectors. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Cc: stable@kernel.org

2008-12-03block: fix setting of max_segment_size and seg_boundary maskMilan Broz
Fix setting of max_segment_size and seg_boundary mask for stacked md/dm devices. When stacking devices (LVM over MD over SCSI) some of the request queue parameters are not set up correctly in some cases by default, namely max_segment_size and and seg_boundary mask. If you create MD device over SCSI, these attributes are zeroed. Problem become when there is over this mapping next device-mapper mapping - queue attributes are set in DM this way: request_queue max_segment_size seg_boundary_mask SCSI 65536 0xffffffff MD RAID1 0 0 LVM 65536 -1 (64bit) Unfortunately bio_add_page (resp. bio_phys_segments) calculates number of physical segments according to these parameters. During the generic_make_request() is segment cout recalculated and can increase bio->bi_phys_segments count over the allowed limit. (After bio_clone() in stack operation.) Thi is specially problem in CCISS driver, where it produce OOPS here BUG_ON(creq->nr_phys_segments > MAXSGENTRIES); (MAXSEGENTRIES is 31 by default.) Sometimes even this command is enough to cause oops: dd iflag=direct if=/dev/<vg>/<lv> of=/dev/null bs=128000 count=10 This command generates bios with 250 sectors, allocated in 32 4k-pages (last page uses only 1024 bytes). For LVM layer, it allocates bio with 31 segments (still OK for CCISS), unfortunatelly on lower layer it is recalculated to 32 segments and this violates CCISS restriction and triggers BUG_ON(). The patch tries to fix it by: * initializing attributes above in queue request constructor blk_queue_make_request() * make sure that blk_queue_stack_limits() inherits setting (DM uses its own function to set the limits because it blk_queue_stack_limits() was introduced later. It should probably switch to use generic stack limit function too.) * sets the default seg_boundary value in one place (blkdev.h) * use this mask as default in DM (instead of -1, which differs in 64bit) Bugs related to this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=471639 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8672 Signed-off-by: Milan Broz <mbroz@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com> Cc: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Cc: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp> Cc: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Cc: Mike Miller <mike.miller@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2008-11-13dm: avoid destroying table in dm_any_congestedChandra Seetharaman
dm_any_congested() just checks for the DMF_BLOCK_IO and has no code to make sure that suspend waits for dm_any_congested() to complete. This patch adds such a check. Without it, a race can occur with dm_table_put() attempting to destroying the table in the wrong thread, the one running dm_any_congested() which is meant to be quick and return immediately. Two examples of problems: 1. Sleeping functions called from congested code, the caller of which holds a spin lock. 2. An ABBA deadlock between pdflush and multipathd. The two locks in contention are inode lock and kernel lock.

2008-11-06md: linear: Fix a division by zero bug for very small arrays.Andre Noll
We currently oops with a divide error on starting a linear software raid array consisting of at least two very small (< 500K) devices. The bug is caused by the calculation of the hash table size which tries to compute sector_div(sz, base) with "base" being zero due to the small size of the component devices of the array. Fix this by requiring the hash spacing to be at least one which implies that also "base" is non-zero. This bug has existed since about 2.6.14.

2008-10-30dm snapshot: wait for chunks in destructorMikulas Patocka
If there are several snapshots sharing an origin and one is removed while the origin is being written to, the snapshot's mempool may get deleted while elements are still referenced. Prior to dm-snapshot-use-per-device-mempools.patch the pending exceptions may still have been referenced after the snapshot was destroyed, but this was not a problem because the shared mempool was still there. This patch fixes the problem by tracking the number of mempool elements in use. The scenario: - You have an origin and two snapshots 1 and 2. - Someone writes to the origin. - It creates two exceptions in the snapshots, snapshot 1 will be primary exception, snapshot 2's pending_exception->primary_pe will point to the exception in snapshot 1. - The exceptions are being relocated, relocation of exception 1 finishes (but it's pending_exception is still allocated, because it is referenced by an exception from snapshot 2) - The user lvremoves snapshot 1 --- it calls just suspend (does nothing) and destructor. md->pending is zero (there is no I/O submitted to the snapshot by md layer), so it won't help us. - The destructor waits for kcopyd jobs to finish on snapshot 1 --- but there are none. - The destructor on snapshot 1 cleans up everything. - The relocation of exception on snapshot 2 finishes, it drops reference on primary_pe. This frees its primary_pe pointer. Primary_pe points to pending exception created for snapshot 1. So it frees memory into non-existing mempool.

2008-10-28md: destroy partitions and notify udev when md array is stopped.NeilBrown
md arrays are not currently destroyed when they are stopped - they remain in /sys/block. Last time I tried this I tripped over locking too much. A consequence of this is that udev doesn't remove anything from /dev. This is rather ugly. As an interim measure until proper device removal can be achieved, make sure all partitions are removed using the BLKRRPART ioctl, and send a KOBJ_CHANGE when an md array is stopped.
