      rbd: simplify rbd_init_disk() a bit · 1fcdb8aa
      Alex Elder authored
      This just simplifies a few things in rbd_init_disk(), now that the
      previous patch has moved a bunch of initialization code out if it.
      Done separately to facilitate review.

      rbd: do some header initialization earlier · 2ac4e75d
      Alex Elder authored
      Move some of the code that initializes an rbd header out of
      rbd_init_disk() and into its caller.
      
      Move the code at the end of rbd_init_disk() that sets the device
      capacity and activates the Linux device out of that function and
      into the caller, ensuring we still have the disk size available
      where we need it.
      
      Update rbd_free_disk() so it still aligns well as an inverse of
      rbd_init_disk(), moving the rbd_header_free() call out to its
      caller.

      rbd: simplify snap_by_name() interface · 8836b995
      Alex Elder authored
      There is only one caller of snap_by_name(), and it passes two values
      to be assigned, both of which are found within an rbd device
      structure.
      
      Change the interface so it just passes the address of the rbd_dev,
      and make the assignments to its fields directly.

      rbd: separate mapping info in rbd_dev · f84344f3
      Alex Elder authored
      Several fields in a struct rbd_dev are related to what is mapped, as
      opposed to the actual base rbd image.  If the base image is mapped
      these are almost unneeded, but if a snapshot is mapped they describe
      information about that snapshot.
      
      In some contexts this can be a little bit confusing.  So group these
      mapping-related field into a structure to make it clear what they
      are describing.
      
      This also includes a minor change that rearranges the fields in the
      in-core image header structure so that invariant fields are at the
      top, followed by those that change.

      rbd: split up rbd_get_segment() · 65ccfe21
      Alex Elder authored
      There are two places where rbd_get_segment() is called.  One, in
      rbd_rq_fn(), only needs to know the length within a segment that an
      I/O request should be.  The other, in rbd_do_op(), also needs the
      name of the object and the offset within it for the I/O request.
      
      Split out rbd_segment_name() into three dedicated functions:
          - rbd_segment_name() allocates and formats the name of the
            object for a segment containing a given rbd image offset
          - rbd_segment_offset() computes the offset within a segment for
            a given rbd image offset
          - rbd_segment_length() computes the length to use for I/O within
            a segment for a request, not to exceed the end of a segment
            object.
      
      In the new functions be a bit more careful, checking for possible
      error conditions:
          - watch for errors or overflows returned by snprintf()
          - catch (using BUG_ON()) potential overflow conditions
            when computing segment length

      rbd: check for overflow in rbd_get_num_segments() · df111be6
      Alex Elder authored
      It is possible in rbd_get_num_segments() for an overflow to occur
      when adding the offset and length.  This is easily avoided.
      
      Since the function returns an int and the one caller is already
      prepared to handle errors, have it return -ERANGE if overflow would
      occur.
      
      The overflow check would not work if a zero-length request was
      being tested, so short-circuit that case, returning 0 for the
      number of segments required.  (This condition might be avoided
      elsewhere already, I don't know.)
      
      Have the caller end the request if either an error or 0 is returned.
      The returned value is passed to __blk_end_request_all(), meaning
      a 0 length request is not treated an error.

      rbd: bio_chain_clone() cleanups · 542582fc
      Alex Elder authored
      In bio_chain_clone(), at the end of the function the bi_next field
      of the tail of the new bio chain is nulled.  This isn't necessary,
      because if "tail" is non-null, its value will be the last bio
      structure allocated at the top of the while loop in that function.
      And before that structure is added to the end of the new chain, its
      bi_next pointer is always made null.
      
      While touching that function, clean a few other things:
          - define each local variable on its own line
          - move the definition of "tmp" to an inner scope
          - move the modification of gfpmask closer to where it's used
          - rearrange the logic that sets the chain's tail pointer

      ceph: let path portion of mount "device" be optional · c98f533c
      Alex Elder authored
      A recent change to /sbin/mountall causes any trailing '/' character
      in the "device" (or fs_spec) field in /etc/fstab to be stripped.  As
      a result, an entry for a ceph mount that intends to mount the root
      of the name space ends up with now path portion, and the ceph mount
      option processing code rejects this.
      
      That is, an entry in /etc/fstab like:
          cephserver:port:/ /mnt ceph defaults 0 0
      provides to the ceph code just "cephserver:port:" as the "device,"
      and that gets rejected.
      
      Although this is a bug in /sbin/mountall, we can have the ceph mount
      code support an empty/nonexistent path, interpreting it to mean the
      root of the name space.
      
      RFC 5952 offers recommendations for how to express IPv6 addresses,
      and recommends the usage found in RFC 3986 (which specifies the
      format for URI's) for representing both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses that
      include port numbers.  (See in particular the definition of
      "authority" found in the Appendix of RFC 3986.)
      
      According to those standards, no host specification will ever
      contain a '/' character.  As a result, it is sufficient to scan a
      provided "device" from an /etc/fstab entry for the first '/'
      character, and if it's found, treat that as the beginning of the
      path.  If no '/' character is present, we can treat the entire
      string as the monitor host specification(s), and assume the path
      to be the root of the name space.  We'll still require a ':' to
      separate the host portion from the (possibly empty) path portion.
      
      This means that we can more formally define how ceph will interpret
      the "device" it's provided when processing a mount request:
      
          "device" will look like:
              <server_spec>[,<server_spec>...]:[<path>]
          where
              <server_spec> is <ip>[:<port>]
              <path> is optional, but if present must begin with '/'

      field values in rbd_dev_ondisk_valid().  This eliminates the
      need to do them in rbd_header_from_disk().

      rbd: return earlier in rbd_header_from_disk() · 28cb775d
      Alex Elder authored
      The only caller of rbd_header_from_disk() is rbd_read_header().
      It passes as allocated_snaps the number of snapshots it will
      have received from the server for the snapshot context that
      rbd_header_from_disk() is to interpret.  The first time through
      it provides 0--mainly to extract the number of snapshots from
      the snapshot context header--so that it can allocate an
      appropriately-sized buffer to receive the entire snapshot
      context from the server in a second request.
      
      rbd_header_from_disk() will not fill in the array of snapshot ids
      unless the number in the snapshot matches the number the caller
      had allocated.
      
      This patch adjusts that logic a little further to be more efficient.
      rbd_read_header() doesn't even examine the snapshot context unless
      the snapshot count (stored in header->total_snaps) matches the
      number of snapshots allocated.  So rbd_header_from_disk() doesn't
      need to allocate or fill in the snapshot context field at all in
      that case.

      rbd: rearrange rbd_header_from_disk() · 6a52325f
      Alex Elder authored
      This just moves code around for the most part.  It was pulled out as
      a separate patch to avoid cluttering up some upcoming patches which
      are more substantive.  The point is basically to group everything
      related to initializing the snapshot context together.
      
      The only functional change is that rbd_header_from_disk() now
      ensures the (in-core) header it is passed is zero-filled.  This
      allows a simpler error handling path in rbd_header_from_disk().

      rbd: use sizeof (object) instead of sizeof (type) · d2bb24e5
      Alex Elder authored
      Fix a few spots in rbd_header_from_disk() to use sizeof (object)
      rather than sizeof (type).  Use a local variable to record sizes
      to shorten some lines and improve readability.

      rbd: make snap_names_len a u64 · 0f1d3f93
      Alex Elder authored
      The snap_names_len field of an rbd_image_header structure is defined
      with type size_t.  That field is used as both the source and target
      of 64-bit byte-order swapping operations though, so it's best to
      define it with type u64 instead.

      rbd: simplify __rbd_init_snaps_header() · 35938150
      Alex Elder authored
      The purpose of __rbd_init_snaps_header() is to compare a new
      snapshot context with an rbd device's list of existing snapshots.
      It updates the list by adding any new snapshots or removing any
      that are not present in the new snapshot context.
      
      The code as written is a little confusing, because it traverses both
      the existing snapshot list and the set of snapshots in the snapshot
      context in reverse.  This was done based on an assumption about
      snapshots that is not true--namely that a duplicate snapshot name
      could cause an error in intepreting things if they were not
      processed in ascending order.
      
      These precautions are not necessary, because:
          - all snapshots are uniquely identified by their snapshot id
          - a new snapshot cannot be created if the rbd device has another
            snapshot with the same name
      (It is furthermore not currently possible to rename a snapshot.)
      
      This patch re-implements __rbd_init_snaps_header() so it passes
      through both the existing snapshot list and the entries in the
      snapshot context in forward order.  It still does the same thing
      as before, but I find the logic considerably easier to understand.
      
      By going forward through the names in the snapshot context, there
      is no longer a need for the rbd_prev_snap_name() helper function.

      vfs: dcache: fix deadlock in tree traversal · 8110e16d
      Miklos Szeredi authored
      IBM reported a deadlock in select_parent().  This was found to be caused
      by taking rename_lock when already locked when restarting the tree
      traversal.
      
      There are two cases when the traversal needs to be restarted:
      
       1) concurrent d_move(); this can only happen when not already locked,
          since taking rename_lock protects against concurrent d_move().
      
       2) racing with final d_put() on child just at the moment of ascending
          to parent; rename_lock doesn't protect against this rare race, so it
          can happen when already locked.
      
      Because of case 2, we need to be able to handle restarting the traversal
      when rename_lock is already held.  This patch fixes all three callers of
      try_to_ascend().
      
      IBM reported that the deadlock is gone with this patch.
      
      [ I rewrote the patch to be smaller and just do the "goto again" if the
        lock was already held, but credit goes to Miklos for the real work.
