None of the existing pNFS layout drivers seem to require the inode to be locked while they free the layout header. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

Each layout segment already holds a reference to the pnfs_layout_hdr, so there is no need to hold an extra reference that is released once the last layout segment is freed. Ensure that pnfs_find_alloc_layout() always returns a reference to the pnfs_layout_hdr, which will be matched by the final call to pnfs_put_layout_hdr() in pnfs_update_layout().

Instead of resetting the inode MDS threshold counters when we mark the layout for destruction, do it as part of freeing the layout. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

In all cases where we set NFS_LAYOUT_INVALID, we also set NFS_LAYOUT_DESTROYED. Furthermore, in all cases where we test for NFS_LAYOUT_INVALID, we should also be testing for NFS_LAYOUT_DESTROYED, since the latter means that we hold no valid layout segments. Ergo the two are redundant. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

If pnfs_layout_io_test_failed() authorises a retry of the failed layoutgets, we should clear the existing layout segments so that we start afresh. Do this in pnfs_layout_io_set_failed(). Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

We want to cache the pnfs_layout_hdr after a layoutget or i/o failure so that pnfs_update_layout() can find it and know when it is time to retry. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

If we exit after the call to pnfs_find_alloc_layout(), we have to ensure that we put the struct pnfs_layout_hdr. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

In cases where the pNFS data server is just temporarily out of service, we want to mark it as such, and then try again later. Typically that will be in cases of network connection errors etc. This patch allows us to mark the devices as being "unavailable" for such transient errors, and will make them available for retries after a 2 minute timeout period.

If we had to fall back to read/write through MDS, then assume that we should retry pNFS after a suitable timeout period. The following patch sets a timeout of 2 minutes. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

Dereferencing nfsi->layout in order to read plh_flags without holding a spin lock is bug prone. Furthermore, the dprintk() tells you nothing about whether or not the call succeeded. Replace it with something that tells you about whether or not a valid layout segment was returned for the inode in question. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

Ensure that we do return errors from nfs4_proc_layoutget() and that we don't mark the layout as having failed if the error was due to a signal or resource problem on the client side. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

It is only set after everyone has dereferenced the transport, and serves no useful purpose: setting it is racy, so all the socket code, etc still needs to be able to cope with the cases where they miss reading it. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

This is to ensure that we don't clear the NFS_CONTEXT_RESEND_WRITES flag while there are still writes that haven't been resent. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
-
Trond Myklebust authored
If the server reboots before it can commit the unstable writes to disk, then nfs_commit_release_pages() will detect this when it compares the verifier returned by COMMIT to the one returned by WRITE. When this happens, the client needs to resend those writes in order to guarantee that they make it to stable storage. This patch adds a signalling mechanism to notify fsync() that it needs to retry all writes before it can exit. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

We want to be able to pass on the information that the page was not dirtied under a lock. Instead of adding a flag parameter, do this by passing a pointer to a 'struct nfs_lock_owner' that may be NULL. Also reuse this structure in struct nfs_lock_context to carry the fl_owner_t and pid_t.

In nfs4_create_sec_client, 'flavor' can hold a negative error code (returned from nfs4_negotiate_security), even though it is an 'enum' and hence unsigned. The code is careful to cast it to an (int) before testing if it is negative, however it doesn't cast to an (int) before calling ERR_PTR. On a machine where "void*" is larger than "int", this results in the unsigned equivalent of -1 (e.g. 0xffffffff) being converted to a pointer. Subsequent code determines that this is not negative, and so dereferences it with predictable results. So: cast 'flavor' to a (signed) int before passing to ERR_PTR. cc: Benny Halevy <bhalevy@tonian.com> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

In case of error, the function rpcauth_create() returns ERR_PTR() and never returns NULL pointer. The NULL test in the return value check should be replaced with IS_ERR(). dpatch engine is used to auto generated this patch.

Pull workqueue / powernow-k8 fix from Tejun Heo: "This is the fix for the bug where cpufreq/powernow-k8 was tripping BUG_ON() in try_to_wake_up_local() by migrating workqueue worker to a different CPU. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47301 As discussed, the fix is now two parts - one to reimplement work_on_cpu() so that it doesn't create a new kthread each time and the actual fix which makes powernow-k8 use work_on_cpu() instead of performing manual migration. While pretty late in the merge cycle, both changes are on the safer side. Jiri and I verified two existing users of work_on_cpu() and Duncan confirmed that the powernow-k8 fix survived about 18 hours of testing." * 'for-3.6-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: cpufreq/powernow-k8: workqueue user shouldn't migrate the kworker to another CPU workqueue: reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wq
-
Tejun Heo authored
powernowk8_target() runs off a per-cpu work item and if the cpufreq_policy->cpu is different from the current one, it migrates the kworker to the target CPU by manipulating current->cpus_allowed. The function migrates the kworker back to the original CPU but this is still broken. Workqueue concurrency management requires the kworkers to stay on the same CPU and powernowk8_target() ends up triggerring BUG_ON(rq != this_rq()) in try_to_wake_up_local() if it contends on fidvid_mutex and sleeps. It is unclear why this bug is being reported now. Duncan says it appeared to be a regression of 3.6-rc1 and couldn't reproduce it on 3.5. Bisection seemed to point to 63d95a91 "workqueue: use @pool instead of @gcwq or @cpu where applicable" which is an non-functional change. Given that the reproduce case sometimes took upto days to trigger, it's easy to be misled while bisecting. Maybe something made contention on fidvid_mutex more likely? I don't know. This patch fixes the bug by using work_on_cpu() instead if @pol->cpu isn't the same as the current one. The code assumes that cpufreq_policy->cpu is kept online by the caller, which Rafael tells me is the case. stable: ed48ece2 ("workqueue: reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wq") should be applied before this; otherwise, the behavior could be horrible.

The existing work_on_cpu() implementation is hugely inefficient. It creates a new kthread, execute that single function and then let the kthread die on each invocation. Now that system_wq can handle concurrent executions, there's no advantage of doing this. Reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wq which makes it simpler and way more efficient. stable: While this isn't a fix in itself, it's needed to fix a workqueue related bug in cpufreq/powernow-k8. AFAICS, this shouldn't break other existing users.

It isn't always necessary to update the metadata when spares are removed as the presence-or-not of a spare isn't really important to the integrity of an array. Also activating a spare doesn't always require updating the metadata as the update on 'recovery-completed' is usually sufficient. However the introduction of 'replacement' devices have made these transitions sometimes more important. For example the 'Replacement' flag isn't cleared until the original device is removed, so we need to ensure a metadata update after that 'spare' is removed. So set MD_CHANGE_DEVS whenever a spare is activated or removed, to complement the current situation where it is set when a spare is added or a device is failed (or a number of other less common situations). This is suitable for -stable as out-of-data metadata could lead to data corruption. This is only relevant for 3.3 and later 9when 'replacement' as introduced.
