2015-10-31dm: add support for passing through persistent reservationsChristoph Hellwig1-1/+1
This adds support to pass through persistent reservation requests similar to the existing ioctl handling, and with the same limitations, e.g. devices may only have a single target attached. This is mostly intended for multipathing. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>
2015-10-31dm: refactor ioctl handlingChristoph Hellwig1-17/+12
This moves the call to blkdev_ioctl and the argument checking to DM core code, and only leaves a callout to find the block device to operate on in the targets. This simplifies the code and allows us to pass through ioctl-like command using other methods in the next patch. Also split out a helper around calling the prepare_ioctl method that will be reused for persistent reservation handling.

2015-10-31Revert "dm mpath: fix stalls when handling invalid ioctls"Mauricio Faria de Oliveira1-5/+2
This reverts commit a1989b330093578ea5470bea0a00f940c444c466. That commit introduced a regression at least for the case of the SG_IO ioctl() running without CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability (e.g., unprivileged users) when there are no active paths: the ioctl() fails with the ENOTTY errno immediately rather than blocking due to queue_if_no_path until a path becomes active, for example. That case happens to be exercised by QEMU KVM guests with 'scsi-block' devices (qemu "-device scsi-block" [1], libvirt "<disk type='block' device='lun'>" [2]) from multipath devices; which leads to SCSI/filesystem errors in such a guest. More general scenarios can hit that regression too. The following demonstration employs a SG_IO ioctl() with a standard SCSI INQUIRY command for this objective (some output & user changes omitted for brevity and comments added for clarity). Reverting that commit restores normal operation (queueing) in failing scenarios; tested on linux-next (next-20151022). 1) Test-case is based on sg_simple0 [3] (just SG_IO; remove SG_GET_VERSION_NUM) $ cat sg_simple0.c ... see [3] ... $ sed '/SG_GET_VERSION_NUM/,/}/d' sg_simple0.c > sgio_inquiry.c $ gcc sgio_inquiry.c -o sgio_inquiry 2) The ioctl() works fine with active paths present. # multipath -l 85ag56 85ag56 (...) dm-19 IBM ,2145 size=60G features='1 queue_if_no_path' hwhandler='0' wp=rw |-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=0 status=active | |- 8:0:11:0 sdz 65:144 active undef running | `- 9:0:9:0 sdbf 67:144 active undef running `-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=0 status=enabled |- 8:0:12:0 sdae 65:224 active undef running `- 9:0:12:0 sdbo 68:32 active undef running $ ./sgio_inquiry /dev/mapper/85ag56 Some of the INQUIRY command's response: IBM 2145 0000 INQUIRY duration=0 millisecs, resid=0 3) The ioctl() fails with ENOTTY errno with _no_ active paths present, for unprivileged users (rather than blocking due to queue_if_no_path). # for path in $(multipath -l 85ag56 | grep -o 'sd[a-z]\+'); \ do multipathd -k"fail path $path"; done # multipath -l 85ag56 85ag56 (...) dm-19 IBM ,2145 size=60G features='1 queue_if_no_path' hwhandler='0' wp=rw |-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=0 status=enabled | |- 8:0:11:0 sdz 65:144 failed undef running | `- 9:0:9:0 sdbf 67:144 failed undef running `-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=0 status=enabled |- 8:0:12:0 sdae 65:224 failed undef running `- 9:0:12:0 sdbo 68:32 failed undef running $ ./sgio_inquiry /dev/mapper/85ag56 sg_simple0: Inquiry SG_IO ioctl error: Inappropriate ioctl for device 4) dmesg shows that scsi_verify_blk_ioctl() failed for SG_IO (0x2285); it returns -ENOIOCTLCMD, later replaced with -ENOTTY in vfs_ioctl(). $ dmesg <...> [] device-mapper: multipath: Failing path 65:144.

2015-04-15dm: optimize dm_mq_queue_rq to _not_ use kthread if using pure blk-mqMike Snitzer1-1/+1
dm_mq_queue_rq() is in atomic context so care must be taken to not sleep -- as such GFP_ATOMIC is used for the md->bs bioset allocations and dm-mpath's call to blk_get_request(). In the future the bioset allocations will hopefully go away (by removing support for partial completions of bios in a cloned request). Also prepare for supporting DM blk-mq ontop of old-style request_fn device(s) if a new dm-mod 'use_blk_mq' parameter is set. The kthread will still be used to queue work if blk-mq is used ontop of old-style request_fn device(s). Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>
2015-04-15dm: add full blk-mq support to request-based DMMike Snitzer1-1/+1
Commit e5863d9ad ("dm: allocate requests in target when stacking on blk-mq devices") served as the first step toward fully utilizing blk-mq in request-based DM -- it enabled stacking an old-style (request_fn) request_queue ontop of the underlying blk-mq device(s). That first step didn't improve performance of DM multipath ontop of fast blk-mq devices (e.g. NVMe) because the top-level old-style request_queue was severely limited by the queue_lock. The second step offered here enables stacking a blk-mq request_queue ontop of the underlying blk-mq device(s). This unlocks significant performance gains on fast blk-mq devices, Keith Busch tested on his NVMe testbed and offered this really positive news: "Just providing a performance update. All my fio tests are getting roughly equal performance whether accessed through the raw block device or the multipath device mapper (~470k IOPS). I could only push ~20% of the raw iops through dm before this conversion, so this latest tree is looking really solid from a performance standpoint."

2015-02-09dm: allocate requests in target when stacking on blk-mq devicesMike Snitzer1-8/+43
For blk-mq request-based DM the responsibility of allocating a cloned request is transfered from DM core to the target type. Doing so enables the cloned request to be allocated from the appropriate blk-mq request_queue's pool (only the DM target, e.g. multipath, can know which block device to send a given cloned request to). Care was taken to preserve compatibility with old-style block request completion that requires request-based DM _not_ acquire the clone request's queue lock in the completion path. As such, there are now 2 different request-based DM target_type interfaces: 1) the original .map_rq() interface will continue to be used for non-blk-mq devices -- the preallocated clone request is passed in from DM core. 2) a new .clone_and_map_rq() and .release_clone_rq() will be used for blk-mq devices -- blk_get_request() and blk_put_request() are used respectively from these hooks. dm_table_set_type() was updated to detect if the request-based target is being stacked on blk-mq devices, if so DM_TYPE_MQ_REQUEST_BASED is set. DM core disallows switching the DM table's type after it is set. This means that there is no mixing of non-blk-mq and blk-mq devices within the same request-based DM table.

2015-02-09dm: submit stacked requests in irq enabled contextKeith Busch1-7/+11
Switch to having request-based DM enqueue all prep'ed requests into work processed by another thread. This allows request-based DM to invoke block APIs that assume interrupt enabled context (e.g. blk_get_request) and is a prerequisite for adding blk-mq support to request-based DM. The new kernel thread is only initialized for request-based DM devices. multipath_map() is now always in irq enabled context so change multipath spinlock (m->lock) locking to always disable interrupts.

2014-07-10dm mpath: fix IO hang due to logic bug in multipath_busyJun'ichi Nomura1-2/+3
Commit e80991773 ("dm mpath: push back requests instead of queueing") modified multipath_busy() to return true if !pg_ready(). pg_ready() checks the current state of the multipath device and may return false even if a new IO is needed to change the state. Bart Van Assche reported that he had multipath IO lockup when he was performing cable pull tests. Analysis showed that the multipath device had a single path group with both paths active, but that the path group itself was not active. During the multipath device state transitions 'queue_io' got set but nothing could clear it. Clearing 'queue_io' only happens in __choose_pgpath(), but it won't be called if multipath_busy() returns true due to pg_ready() returning false when 'queue_io' is set. As such the !pg_ready() check in multipath_busy() is wrong because new IO will not be sent to multipath target and the multipath state change won't happen. That results in multipath IO lockup. The intent of multipath_busy() is to avoid unnecessary cycles of dequeue + request_fn + requeue if it is known that the multipath device will requeue. Such "busy" situations would be: - path group is being activated - there is no path and the multipath is setup to requeue if no path Fix multipath_busy() to return "busy" early only for these specific situations.

2014-06-04dm: disable WRITE SAME if it failsMike Snitzer1-10/+1
Add DM core support for disabling WRITE SAME on first failure to both request-based and bio-based targets. The need to disable WRITE SAME stems from SCSI enabling it by default but then disabling it when it fails. When SCSI does this it returns "permanent target failure, do not retry" using -EREMOTEIO. Update DM core to only disable WRITE SAME on failure if the returned error is -EREMOTEIO. Commit f84cb8a4 ("dm mpath: disable WRITE SAME if it fails") implemented multipath specific disabling of WRITE SAME if it fails. However, as that commit detailed, the multipath-only solution doesn't go far enough if bio-based DM targets are stacked ontop of the request-based dm-multipath target (as is commonly done using dm-linear to support partitions on multipath devices, via kpartx).

2014-03-27dm mpath: remove process_queued_ios()Hannes Reinecke1-42/+27
process_queued_ios() has served 3 functions: 1) select pg and pgpath if none is selected 2) start pg_init if requested 3) dispatch queued IOs when pg is ready Basically, a call to queue_work(process_queued_ios) can be replaced by dm_table_run_md_queue_async(), which runs request queue and ends up calling map_io(), which does 1), 2) and 3). Exception is when !pg_ready() (which means either pg_init is running or requested), then multipath_busy() prevents map_io() being called from request_fn. If pg_init is running, it should be ok as long as pg_init_done() does the right thing when pg_init is completed, I.e.: restart pg_init if !pg_ready() or call dm_table_run_md_queue_async() to kick map_io(). If pg_init is requested, we have to make sure the request is detected and pg_init will be started. pg_init is requested in 3 places: a) __choose_pgpath() in map_io() b) __choose_pgpath() in multipath_ioctl() c) pg_init retry in pg_init_done() a) is ok because map_io() calls __pg_init_all_paths(), which does 2). b) needs a call to __pg_init_all_paths(), which does 2). c) needs a call to __pg_init_all_paths(), which does 2).

2013-11-05dm mpath: requeue I/O during pg_initHannes Reinecke1-4/+12
When pg_init is running no I/O can be submitted to the underlying devices, as the path priority etc might change. When using queue_io for this, requests will be piling up within multipath as the block I/O scheduler just sees a _very fast_ device. All of this queued I/O has to be resubmitted from within multipathing once pg_init is done. This approach has the problem that it's virtually impossible to abort I/O when pg_init is running, and we're adding heavy load to the devices after pg_init since all of the queued I/O needs to be resubmitted _before_ any requests can be pulled off of the request queue and normal operation continues. This patch will requeue the I/O that triggers the pg_init call, and return 'busy' when pg_init is in progress. With these changes the block I/O scheduler will stop submitting I/O during pg_init, resulting in a quicker path switch and less I/O pressure (and memory consumption) after pg_init.

2013-10-31dm mpath: fix race condition between multipath_dtr and pg_init_doneShiva Krishna Merla1-3/+15
Whenever multipath_dtr() is happening we must prevent queueing any further path activation work. Implement this by adding a new 'pg_init_disabled' flag to the multipath structure that denotes future path activation work should be skipped if it is set. By disabling pg_init and then re-enabling in flush_multipath_work() we also avoid the potential for pg_init to be initiated while suspending an mpath device. Without this patch a race condition exists that may result in a kernel panic: 1) If after pg_init_done() decrements pg_init_in_progress to 0, a call to wait_for_pg_init_completion() assumes there are no more pending path management commands. 2) If pg_init_required is set by pg_init_done(), due to retryable mode_select errors, then process_queued_ios() will again queue the path activation work. 3) If free_multipath() completes before activate_path() work is called a NULL pointer dereference like the following can be seen when accessing members of the recently destructed multipath: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000090 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffffa003db1b>] [<ffffffffa003db1b>] activate_path+0x1b/0x30 [dm_multipath] [<ffffffff81090ac0>] worker_thread+0x170/0x2a0 [<ffffffff81096c80>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x40 [switch to disabling pg_init in flush_multipath_work & header edits by Mike Snitzer] Signed-off-by: Shiva Krishna Merla <shivakrishna.merla@netapp.com> Reviewed-by: Krishnasamy Somasundaram <somasundaram.krishnasamy@netapp.com> Tested-by: Speagle Andy <Andy.Speagle@netapp.com> Acked-by: Junichi Nomura <j-nomura@ce.jp.nec.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

2013-09-20dm mpath: disable WRITE SAME if it failsMike Snitzer1-1/+10
Workaround the SCSI layer's problematic WRITE SAME heuristics by disabling WRITE SAME in the DM multipath device's queue_limits if an underlying device disabled it. The WRITE SAME heuristics, with both the original commit 5db44863b6eb ("[SCSI] sd: Implement support for WRITE SAME") and the updated commit 66c28f971 ("[SCSI] sd: Update WRITE SAME heuristics"), default to enabling WRITE SAME(10) even without successfully determining it is supported. After the first failed WRITE SAME the SCSI layer will disable WRITE SAME for the device (by setting sdkp->device->no_write_same which results in 'max_write_same_sectors' in device's queue_limits to be set to 0). When a device is stacked ontop of such a SCSI device any changes to that SCSI device's queue_limits do not automatically propagate up the stack. As such, a DM multipath device will not have its WRITE SAME support disabled. This causes the block layer to continue to issue WRITE SAME requests to the mpath device which causes paths to fail and (if mpath IO isn't configured to queue when no paths are available) it will result in actual IO errors to the upper layers. This fix doesn't help configurations that have additional devices stacked ontop of the mpath device (e.g. LVM created linear DM devices ontop). A proper fix that restacks all the queue_limits from the bottom of the device stack up will need to be explored if SCSI will continue to use this model of optimistically allowing op codes and then disabling them after they fail for the first time.

When multipath needs to retry an ioctl the reference to the current live table needs to be dropped. Otherwise a deadlock occurs when all paths are down: - dm_blk_ioctl takes a reference to the current table and spins in multipath_ioctl(). - A new table is being loaded, but upon resume the process hangs in dm_table_destroy() waiting for references to drop to zero.

2013-03-01dm: fix truncated status stringsMikulas Patocka1-5/+3
Avoid returning a truncated table or status string instead of setting the DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG when the last target of a table fills the buffer. When processing a table or status request, the function retrieve_status calls ti->type->status. If ti->type->status returns non-zero, retrieve_status assumes that the buffer overflowed and sets DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG. However, targets don't return non-zero values from their status method on overflow. Most targets returns always zero. If a buffer overflow happens in a target that is not the last in the table, it gets noticed during the next iteration of the loop in retrieve_status; but if a buffer overflow happens in the last target, it goes unnoticed and erroneously truncated data is returned. In the current code, the targets behave in the following way: * dm-crypt returns -ENOMEM if there is not enough space to store the key, but it returns 0 on all other overflows. * dm-thin returns errors from the status method if a disk error happened. This is incorrect because retrieve_status doesn't check the error code, it assumes that all non-zero values mean buffer overflow. * all the other targets always return 0. This patch changes the ti->type->status function to return void (because most targets don't use the return code). Overflow is detected in retrieve_status: if the status method fills up the remaining space completely, it is assumed that buffer overflow happened.

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo: "This is workqueue updates for v3.7-rc1. A lot of activities this round including considerable API and behavior cleanups. * delayed_work combines a timer and a work item. The handling of the timer part has always been a bit clunky leading to confusing cancelation API with weird corner-case behaviors. delayed_work is updated to use new IRQ safe timer and cancelation now works as expected. * Another deficiency of delayed_work was lack of the counterpart of mod_timer() which led to cancel+queue combinations or open-coded timer+work usages. mod_delayed_work[_on]() are added. These two delayed_work changes make delayed_work provide interface and behave like timer which is executed with process context. * A work item could be executed concurrently on multiple CPUs, which is rather unintuitive and made flush_work() behavior confusing and half-broken under certain circumstances. This problem doesn't exist for non-reentrant workqueues. While non-reentrancy check isn't free, the overhead is incurred only when a work item bounces across different CPUs and even in simulated pathological scenario the overhead isn't too high. All workqueues are made non-reentrant. This removes the distinction between flush_[delayed_]work() and flush_[delayed_]_work_sync(). The former is now as strong as the latter and the specified work item is guaranteed to have finished execution of any previous queueing on return. * In addition to the various bug fixes, Lai redid and simplified CPU hotplug handling significantly. * Joonsoo introduced system_highpri_wq and used it during CPU hotplug. There are two merge commits - one to pull in IRQ safe timer from tip/timers/core and the other to pull in CPU hotplug fixes from wq/for-3.6-fixes as Lai's hotplug restructuring depended on them."

2012-09-26dm mpath: only retry ioctl when no paths if queue_if_no_path setMike Snitzer1-4/+7
When there are no paths and multipath receives an ioctl, it waits until a path becomes available. This behaviour is incorrect if the "queue_if_no_path" setting was not specified, as then the ioctl should be rejected immediately, which this patch now does. commit 35991652b ("dm mpath: allow ioctls to trigger pg init") should have checked if queue_if_no_path was configured before queueing IO. Checking for the queue_if_no_path feature, like is done in map_io(), allows the following table load to work without blocking in the multipath_ioctl retry loop: echo "0 1024 multipath 0 0 0 0" | dmsetup create mpath_nodevs Without this fix the multipath_ioctl will block with the following stack trace: blkid D 0000000000000002 0 23936 1 0x00000000 ffff8802b89e5cd8 0000000000000082 ffff8802b89e5fd8 0000000000012440 ffff8802b89e4010 0000000000012440 0000000000012440 0000000000012440 ffff8802b89e5fd8 0000000000012440 ffff88030c2aab30 ffff880325794040 Call Trace: [<ffffffff814ce099>] schedule+0x29/0x70 [<ffffffff814cc312>] schedule_timeout+0x182/0x2e0 [<ffffffff8104dee0>] ? lock_timer_base+0x70/0x70 [<ffffffff814cc48e>] schedule_timeout_uninterruptible+0x1e/0x20 [<ffffffff8104f840>] msleep+0x20/0x30 [<ffffffffa0000839>] multipath_ioctl+0x109/0x170 [dm_multipath] [<ffffffffa06bfb9c>] dm_blk_ioctl+0xbc/0xd0 [dm_mod] [<ffffffff8122a408>] __blkdev_driver_ioctl+0x28/0x30 [<ffffffff8122a79e>] blkdev_ioctl+0xce/0x730 [<ffffffff811970ac>] block_ioctl+0x3c/0x40 [<ffffffff8117321c>] do_vfs_ioctl+0x8c/0x340 [<ffffffff81166293>] ? sys_newfstat+0x33/0x40 [<ffffffff81173571>] sys_ioctl+0xa1/0xb0 [<ffffffff814d70a9>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 3.5+ Acked-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>

2012-07-27dm mpath: add retain_attached_hw_handler featureMike Snitzer1-6/+41
A SCSI device handler might get attached to a device during the initial device scan. We do not necessarily want to override this when loading a multipath table, so this patch adds a new multipath feature argument "retain_attached_hw_handler". During SCSI device scan all loaded SCSI device handlers will be consulted for a match (via scsi_dh's provided .match). If a match is found that device handler will be attached. We need a way to have userspace multipathd's provided 'hw_handler' not override the already attached hardware handler. When specifying the new feature 'retain_attached_hw_handler' multipath will use the currently attached hardware handler instead of trying to attach the one specified during table load. If no hardware handler is attached the specified hardware handler will still be used. Leverages scsi_dh_attach's ability to increment the scsi_dh's reference count if the same scsi_dh name is provided when attaching - currently attached scsi_dh name is determined with scsi_dh_attached_handler_name. Depends upon commit 7e8a74b177f17d100916b6ad415450f7c9508691 ("[SCSI] scsi_dh: add scsi_dh_attached_handler_name").

2012-06-03dm mpath: allow ioctls to trigger pg initMikulas Patocka1-9/+17
After the failure of a group of paths, any alternative paths that need initialising do not become available until further I/O is sent to the device. Until this has happened, ioctls return -EAGAIN. With this patch, new paths are made available in response to an ioctl too. The processing of the ioctl gets delayed until this has happened. Instead of returning an error, we submit a work item to kmultipathd (that will potentially activate the new path) and retry in ten milliseconds. Note that the patch doesn't retry an ioctl if the ioctl itself fails due to a path failure. Such retries should be handled intelligently by the code that generated the ioctl in the first place, noting that some SCSI commands should not be retried because they are not idempotent (XOR write commands). For commands that could be retried, there is a danger that if the device rejected the SCSI command, the path could be errorneously marked as failed, and the request would be retried on another path which might fail too. It can be determined if the failure happens on the device or on the SCSI controller, but there is no guarantee that all SCSI drivers set these flags correctly.

2012-03-28dm: reject trailing characters in sccanf inputMikulas Patocka1-2/+4
Device mapper uses sscanf to convert arguments to numbers. The problem is that the way we use it ignores additional unmatched characters in the scanned string. For example, this `if (sscanf(string, "%d", &number) == 1)' will match a number, but also it will match number with some garbage appended, like "123abc". As a result, device mapper accepts garbage after some numbers. For example the command `dmsetup create vg1-new --table "0 16384 linear 254:1bla 34816bla"' will pass without an error. This patch fixes all sscanf uses in device mapper. It appends "%c" with a pointer to a dummy character variable to every sscanf statement. The construct `if (sscanf(string, "%d%c", &number, &dummy) == 1)' succeeds only if string is a null-terminated number (optionally preceded by some whitespace characters). If there is some character appended after the number, sscanf matches "%c", writes the character to the dummy variable and returns 2. We check the return value for 1 and consequently reject numbers with some garbage appended.
