When there are many blocks on the fly (ua), and the AL gets into "starving" mode (random IO, scattered all over the device), and the connections gets interrupted, the receiver thread deadlocks in the drbd_disconnect() code path. Affected are only nodes in Primary role. The bug triggers most likely on system that mirror over "long distances" Regression introduced shortly before 8.3.3 with git commit 31e0f1250f174ac1ee317f360943a0159e19edc8 Signed-off-by: Philipp Reisner <philipp.reisner@linbit.com> Signed-off-by: Lars Ellenberg <lars.ellenberg@linbit.com>

To check wether we are truncating a very large device due to limited meta data space, we need to check the ll_dev size. Also improve the printk to suggest "flexible" or "internal". Signed-off-by: Philipp Reisner <philipp.reisner@linbit.com> Signed-off-by: Lars Ellenberg <lars.ellenberg@linbit.com>

Currently there is no barrier support in the block device code. That means we cannot guarantee any sort of data integerity when using the block device node with dis kwrite caches enabled. Using the raw block device node is a typical use case for virtualization (and I assume databases, too). This patch changes block_fsync to issue a cache flush and thus make fsync on block device nodes actually useful. Note that in mainline we would also need to add such code to the ->aio_write method for O_SYNC handling, but assuming that Jan's patch series for the O_SYNC rewrite goes in it will also call into ->fsync for 2.6.32.

There's nothing block related about them, the backing device is used by things like NFS etc as well. This gets rid of the need to protect such calls by CONFIG_BLOCK. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

Hi, Some workloads issue batches of small I/O, and the performance is poor due to the call to blk_run_address_space for every single iocb. Nathan Roberts pointed this out, and suggested that by deferring this call until all I/Os in the iocb array are submitted to the block layer, we can realize some impressive performance gains (up to 30% for sequential 4k reads in batches of 16).

Hi, The WRITE_ODIRECT flag is only used in one place, and that code path happens to also call blk_run_address_space. The introduction of this flag, then, could result in the device being unplugged twice for every I/O. Further, with the batching changes in the next patch, we don't want an O_DIRECT write to imply a queue unplug.

If active queue hasn't enough requests and idle window opens, cfq will not dispatch sufficient requests to hardware. In such situation, current code will zero hw_tag. But this is because cfq doesn't dispatch enough requests instead of hardware queue doesn't work. Don't zero hw_tag in such case.

The flag used to indicate that a cfqq was allowed to jump ahead in the scheduling order due to submitting a request close to the queue that just executed. Since closely cooperating queues are now merged, the flag holds little meaning. Change it to indicate that multiple queues were merged. This will later be used to allow the breaking up of merged queues when they are no longer cooperating. Signed-off-by: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

When cooperating cfq_queues are detected currently, they are allowed to skip ahead in the scheduling order. It is much more efficient to automatically share the cfq_queue data structure between cooperating processes. Performance of the read-test2 benchmark (which is written to emulate the dump(8) utility) went from 12MB/s to 90MB/s on my SATA disk. NFS servers with multiple nfsd threads also saw performance increases. Signed-off-by: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

async cfq_queue's are already shared between processes within the same priority, and forthcoming patches will change the mapping of cic to sync cfq_queue from 1:1 to 1:N. So, calculate the seekiness of a process based on the cfq_queue instead of the cfq_io_context. Signed-off-by: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

The destination keyring specified to request_key() and co. is made available to the process that instantiates the key (the slave process started by /sbin/request-key typically). This is passed in the request_key_auth struct as the dest_keyring member. keyctl_instantiate_key and keyctl_negate_key() call get_instantiation_keyring() to get the keyring to attach the newly constructed key to at the end of instantiation. This may be given a specific keyring into which a link will be made later, or it may be asked to find the keyring passed to request_key(). In the former case, it returns a keyring with the refcount incremented by lookup_user_key(); in the latter case, it returns the keyring from the request_key_auth struct - and does _not_ increment the refcount. The latter case will eventually result in an oops when the keyring prematurely runs out of references and gets destroyed. The effect may take some time to show up as the key is destroyed lazily. To fix this, the keyring returned by get_instantiation_keyring() must always have its refcount incremented, no matter where it comes from. This can be tested by setting /etc/request-key.conf to: #OP TYPE DESCRIPTION CALLOUT INFO PROGRAM ARG1 ARG2 ARG3 ... #====== ======= =============== =============== =============================== create * test:* * |/bin/false %u %g %d %{user:_display} negate * * * /bin/keyctl negate %k 10 @u and then doing: keyctl add user _display aaaaaaaa @u while keyctl request2 user test:x test:x @u && keyctl list @u; do keyctl request2 user test:x test:x @u; sleep 31; keyctl list @u; done which will oops eventually. Changing the negate line to have @u rather than %S at the end is important as that forces the latter case by passing a special keyring ID rather than an actual keyring ID.
