* dm mpath: allow table load with no priority groupsMike Snitzer2011-03-241-3/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adjusts the multipath target to allow a table with both 0 priority groups and 0 for the initial priority group number. If any mpath device is held open when all paths in the last priority group have failed, userspace multipathd will attempt to reload the associated DM table to reflect the fact that the device no longer has any priority groups. But the reload attempt always failed because the multipath target did not allow 0 priority groups. All multipath target messages related to priority group (enable_group, disable_group, switch_group) will handle a priority group of 0 (will cause error). When reloading a multipath table with 0 priority groups, userspace multipathd must be updated to specify an initial priority group number of 0 (rather than 1).

* dm mpath: delay activate_path retry on SCSI_DH_RETRYChandra Seetharaman2011-01-131-10/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a user-configurable 'pg_init_delay_msecs' feature. Use this feature to specify the number of milliseconds to delay before retrying scsi_dh_activate, when SCSI_DH_RETRY is returned. SCSI Device Handlers return SCSI_DH_IMM_RETRY if we could retry activation immediately and SCSI_DH_RETRY in cases where it is better to retry after some delay. Currently we immediately retry scsi_dh_activate irrespective of SCSI_DH_IMM_RETRY and SCSI_DH_RETRY. The 'pg_init_delay_msecs' feature may be provided during table create or load, e.g.: dmsetup create --table "0 20971520 multipath 3 queue_if_no_path \ pg_init_delay_msecs 2500 ..." mpatha The default for 'pg_init_delay_msecs' is 2000 milliseconds. Maximum configurable delay is 60000 milliseconds. Specifying a 'pg_init_delay_msecs' of 0 will cause immediate retry.

* dm mpath: support discardMike Snitzer2010-08-121-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Enable discard support in the DM multipath target. This discard support depends on a few discard-specific fixes to the block layer's request stacking driver methods. Discard requests are optional so don't allow a failed discard to trigger path failures. If there is a real problem with a given path the barriers associated with the discard (either before or after the discard) will cause path failure. That said, unconditionally passing discard failures up the stack is not ideal. This must be fixed once DM has more information about the nature of the underlying storage failure.

But m->queue is cleared when a path activation completes without error in pg_init_done(), even while other path activations are in progress. That may cause undesired -EIO on paths which are not complete activation. This patch fixes that by not clearing m->queue_io until all path activations complete.

* dm mpath: change to be request basedKiyoshi Ueda2009-06-221-65/+128
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch converts dm-multipath target to request-based from bio-based. Basically, the patch just converts the I/O unit from struct bio to struct request. In the course of the conversion, it also changes the I/O queueing mechanism. The change in the I/O queueing is described in details as follows. I/O queueing mechanism change ----------------------------- In I/O submission, map_io(), there is no mechanism change from bio-based, since the clone request is ready for retry as it is. However, in I/O complition, do_end_io(), there is a mechanism change from bio-based, since the clone request is not ready for retry. In do_end_io() of bio-based, the clone bio has all needed memory for resubmission. So the target driver can queue it and resubmit it later without memory allocations. The mechanism has almost no overhead. On the other hand, in do_end_io() of request-based, the clone request doesn't have clone bios, so the target driver can't resubmit it as it is. To resubmit the clone request, memory allocation for clone bios is needed, and it takes some overheads. To avoid the overheads just for queueing, the target driver doesn't queue the clone request inside itself. Instead, the target driver asks dm core for queueing and remapping the original request of the clone request, since the overhead for queueing is just a freeing memory for the clone request. As a result, the target driver doesn't need to record/restore the information of the original request for resubmitting the clone request. So dm_bio_details in dm_mpath_io is removed. multipath_busy() --------------------- The target driver returns "busy", only when the following case: o The target driver will map I/Os, if map() function is called and o The mapped I/Os will wait on underlying device's queue due to their congestions, if map() function is called now. In other cases, the target driver doesn't return "busy". Otherwise, dm core will keep the I/Os and the target driver can't do what it wants. (e.g. the target driver can't map I/Os now, so wants to kill I/Os.)

* dm mpath: add start_io and nr_bytes to path selectorsKiyoshi Ueda2009-06-221-10/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes two additions to the dm path selector interface for dynamic load balancers: o a new hook, start_io() o a new parameter 'nr_bytes' to select_path()/start_io()/end_io() to pass the size of the I/O start_io() is called when a target driver actually submits I/O to the selected path. Path selectors can use it to start accounting of the I/O. (e.g. counting the number of in-flight I/Os.) The start_io hook is based on the patch posted by Stefan Bader: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2005-October/msg00050.html nr_bytes, the size of the I/O, is so path selectors can take the size of the I/O into account when deciding which path to use. dm-service-time uses it to estimate service time, for example. (Added the nr_bytes member to dm_mpath_io instead of using existing details.bi_size, since request-based dm patch deletes it.)

There is a possibility of race condition because kevent queue is not flushed in the multipath destructor. The scenario is: - some event happens and is queued to keventd - keventd thread is delayed due to scheuling latency or some other work - multipath device is destroyed - keventd now attempts to process work_struct that is residing in already released memory. The patch flushes the keventd queue in multipath constructor. I've already fixed similar bug in dm-raid1.

* dm mpath: call activate fn for each path in pg_initChandra Seetharaman2009-06-221-37/+26Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixed a problem affecting reinstatement of passive paths. Before we moved the hardware handler from dm to SCSI, it performed a pg_init for a path group and didn't maintain any state about each path in hardware handler code. But in SCSI dh, such state is now maintained, as we want to fail I/O early on a path if it is not the active path. All the hardware handlers have a state now and set to active or some form of inactive. They have prep_fn() which uses this state to fail the I/O without it ever being sent to the device. So in effect when dm-multipath calls scsi_dh_activate(), activate is sent to only one path and the "state" of that path is changed appropriately to "active" while other paths in the same path group are never changed as they never got an "activate". In order make sure all the paths in a path group gets their state set properly when a pg_init happens, we need to call scsi_dh_activate() on all paths in a path group. Doing this at the hardware handler layer is not a good option as we want the multipath layer to define the relationship between path and path groups and not the hardware handler. Attached patch sends an "activate" on each path in a path group when a path group is switched. It also sends an activate when a path is reinstated.

* dm mpath: change attached scsi_dhHannes Reinecke2009-06-221-2/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When specifying a different hardware handler via multipath features we should be able to override the built-in defaults. The problem here is the hardware table from scsi_dh is compiled in and cannot be changed from userland. The multipath.conf OTOH is purely user-defined and, what's more, the user might have a valid reason for modifying it. (EG EMC Clariion can well be run in PNR mode even though ALUA is active, or the user might want to try ALUA on any as-of-yet unknown devices) So _not_ allowing multipath to override the device handler setting will just add to the confusion and makes error tracking even more difficult.

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.

* dm mpath: avoid attempting to activate null pathChandra Seetharaman2008-11-141-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | Path activation code is called even when the pgpath is NULL. This could lead to a panic in activate_path(). Such a panic is seen in -rt kernel. This problem has been there before the pg_init() was moved to a workqueue. Signed-off-by: Chandra Seetharaman <sekharan@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>

* [SCSI] block: separate failfast into multiple bits.Mike Christie2008-10-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Multipath is best at handling transport errors. If it gets a device error then there is not much the multipath layer can do. It will just access the same device but from a different path. This patch breaks up failfast into device, transport and driver errors. The multipath layers (md and dm mutlipath) only ask the lower levels to fast fail transport errors. The user of failfast, read ahead, will ask to fast fail on all errors. Note that blk_noretry_request will return true if any failfast bit is set. This allows drivers that do not support the multipath failfast bits to continue to fail on any failfast error like before. Drivers like scsi that are able to fail fast specific errors can check for the specific fail fast type. In the next patch I will convert scsi.

This is in response to https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2008-May/msg00000.html and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=444421 The patch only lets through the errors that it needs to in order to get the path errors from parse_path().
