queuing writes to the md thread means that all requests go through the one processor which may not be able to keep up with very high request rates. So use the plugging infrastructure to submit all requests on unplug. If a 'schedule' is needed, we fall back on the old approach of handing the requests to the thread for it to handle.

make_request() does stripe release for every stripe and the stripe usually has count 1, which makes previous release_stripe() optimization not work. In my test, this release_stripe() becomes the heaviest pleace to take conf->device_lock after previous patches applied. Below patch makes stripe release batch. All the stripes will be released in unplug. The STRIPE_ON_UNPLUG_LIST bit is to protect concurrent access stripe lru.

This seemed like a good idea at the time, but after further thought I cannot see it making a difference other than very occasionally and testing to try to exercise the case it is most likely to help did not show any performance difference by removing it. So remove the counting of active plugs and allow 'pending writes' to be activated at any time, not just when no plugs are active. This is only relevant when there is a write-intent bitmap, and the updating of the bitmap will likely introduce enough delay that the single-threading of bitmap updates will be enough to collect large numbers of updates together. Removing this will make it easier to centralise the unplug code, and will clear the other for other unplug enhancements which have a measurable effect.

Unconditionally announce FLUSH/FUA to upper layers. If the lower layers on either node do not actually support this, generic_make_request() will deal with it. If this causes performance regressions on your setup, make sure there are no volatile caches involved, and mount -o nobarrier or equivalent.

We capped our max_bio_size respectively max_hw_sectors with min_t(int, lower level limit, our limit); unfortunately, some drivers, e.g. the kvm virtio block driver, initialize their limits to "-1U", and that is of course a smaller "int" value than our limit. Impact: we started to request 16 MB resync requests, which lead to protocol error and a reconnect loop. Fix all relevant constants and parameters to be unsigned int.

If you do back to back wait-sync/invalidate on a Primary in a tight loop, during application IO load, you could trigger a race: kernel: block drbd6: FIXME going to queue 'set_n_write from StartingSync' but 'write from resync_finished' still pending? Fix this by changing the order of the drbd_queue_work() and the wake_up() in dec_ap_pending(), and adding the additional drbd_flush_workqueue() before requesting the full sync.

Occasionally, if we disconnect, we triggered this assert: block drbd7: ASSERT FAILED tl_hash[27] == c30b0f04, expected NULL hlist_del() happens only on master bio completion. We used to wait for pending IO to complete before freeing tl_hash on disconnect. We no longer do so, since we learned to "freeze" IO on disconnect. If the local disk is too slow, we may reach C_STANDALONE early, and there are still some requests pending locally when we call drbd_free_tl_hash(). If we now free the tl_hash, and later the local IO completion completes the master bio, which then does hlist_del() and clobbers freed memory. Do hlist_del_init() and hlist_add_fake() before kfree(tl_hash), so the hlist_del() on master bio completion is harmless.

In case we want to hard-reset from the local-io-error handler, we need to call it before notifying the peer or aborting local IO. Otherwise the peer will advance its data generation UUIDs even if secondary. This way, local io error looks like a "regular" node crash, which reduces the number of different failure cases. This may be useful in a bigger picture where crashed or otherwise "misbehaving" nodes are automatically re-deployed.

Fix asserts like block drbd0: in got_BlockAck:4634: rs_pending_cnt = -35 < 0 ! We reset the resync lru cache and related information (rs_pending_cnt), once we successfully finished a resync or online verify, or if the replication connection is lost. We also need to reset it if a resync or online verify is aborted because a lower level disk failed. In that case the replication link is still established, and we may still have packets queued in the network buffers which want to touch rs_pending_cnt. We do not have any synchronization mechanism to know for sure when all such pending resync related packets have been drained. To avoid this counter to go negative (and violate the ASSERT that it will always be >= 0), just do not reset it when we lose a disk. It is good enough to make sure it is re-initialized before the next resync can start: reset it when we re-attach a disk.

Aborting local requests (not waiting for completion from the lower level disk) is dangerous: if the master bio has been completed to upper layers, data pages may be re-used for other things already. If local IO is still pending and later completes, this may cause crashes or corrupt unrelated data. Only abort local IO if explicitly requested. Intended use case is a lower level device that turned into a tarpit, not completing io requests, not even doing error completion.

Merge emailed kgdb dmesg fixups patches from Anton Vorontsov: "The dmesg command appears to be broken after the printk rework. The old logic in the kdb code makes no sense in terms of current printk/logging storage format, and KDB simply hangs forever upon entering 'dmesg' command. The first patch revives the command by switching to kmsg_dumper iterator. As a side-effect, the code is now much more simpler. A few changes were needed in the printk.c: we needed unlocked variant of the kmsg_dumper iterator, but these can surely wait for 3.6. It's probably too late even for the first patch to go to 3.5, but I'll try to convince otherwise. :-) Here we go: - The current code is broken for sure, and has no hope to work at all. It is a regression - The new code works for me, and probably works for everyone else; - If it compiles (and I urge everyone to compile-test it on your setup), it hardly can make things worse." * Merge emailed patches from Anton Vorontsov: (4 commits) kdb: Switch to nolock variants of kmsg_dump functions printk: Implement some unlocked kmsg_dump functions printk: Remove kdb_syslog_data kdb: Revive dmesg command

I have found these and worked on them at around RC1 time but unfortunately went to the hospital for kidney stones and had a very slow recovery. I refrained from sending them as is, before proper testing, and surly I have found a bug just yesterday. So now they are all well tested, and have my sign-off. Other then fixing the problem at hand, and assuming there are no bugs at the new code, there is low risk to any surrounding code. And in anyway they affect only these paths that are now broken. That is RAID5 in pnfs objects-layout code. It does also affect exofs (which was not broken) but I have tested exofs and it is lower priority then objects-layout because no one is using exofs, but objects-layout has lots of users." * 'for-linus' of git://git.open-osd.org/linux-open-osd: pnfs-obj: Fix __r4w_get_page when offset is beyond i_size pnfs-obj: don't leak objio_state if ore_write/read fails ore: Unlock r4w pages in exact reverse order of locking ore: Remove support of partial IO request (NFS crash) ore: Fix NFS crash by supporting any unaligned RAID IO

We can't guarantee that REQ_DISCARD on dm-mirror zeroes the data even if the underlying disks support zero on discard. So this patch sets ti->discard_zeroes_data_unsupported. For example, if the mirror is in the process of resynchronizing, it may happen that kcopyd reads a piece of data, then discard is sent on the same area and then kcopyd writes the piece of data to another leg. Consequently, the data is not zeroed. The flag was made available by commit 983c7db3 (dm crypt: always disable discard_zeroes_data).

When process_discard receives a partial discard that doesn't cover a full block, it sends this discard down to that block. Unfortunately, the block can be shared and the discard would corrupt the other snapshots sharing this block. This patch detects block sharing and ends the discard with success when sending it to the shared block. The above change means that if the device supports discard it can't be guaranteed that a discard request zeroes data. Therefore, we set ti->discard_zeroes_data_unsupported. Thin target discard support with this bug arrived in commit 104655fd (dm thin: support discards).

This patch fixes a crash when a discard request is sent during mirror recovery. Firstly, some background. Generally, the following sequence happens during mirror synchronization: - function do_recovery is called - do_recovery calls dm_rh_recovery_prepare - dm_rh_recovery_prepare uses a semaphore to limit the number simultaneously recovered regions (by default the semaphore value is 1, so only one region at a time is recovered) - dm_rh_recovery_prepare calls __rh_recovery_prepare, __rh_recovery_prepare asks the log driver for the next region to recover. Then, it sets the region state to DM_RH_RECOVERING. If there are no pending I/Os on this region, the region is added to quiesced_regions list. If there are pending I/Os, the region is not added to any list. It is added to the quiesced_regions list later (by dm_rh_dec function) when all I/Os finish. - when the region is on quiesced_regions list, there are no I/Os in flight on this region. The region is popped from the list in dm_rh_recovery_start function. Then, a kcopyd job is started in the recover function. - when the kcopyd job finishes, recovery_complete is called. It calls dm_rh_recovery_end. dm_rh_recovery_end adds the region to recovered_regions or failed_recovered_regions list (depending on whether the copy operation was successful or not). The above mechanism assumes that if the region is in DM_RH_RECOVERING state, no new I/Os are started on this region. When I/O is started, dm_rh_inc_pending is called, which increases reg->pending count. When I/O is finished, dm_rh_dec is called. It decreases reg->pending count. If the count is zero and the region was in DM_RH_RECOVERING state, dm_rh_dec adds it to the quiesced_regions list. Consequently, if we call dm_rh_inc_pending/dm_rh_dec while the region is in DM_RH_RECOVERING state, it could be added to quiesced_regions list multiple times or it could be added to this list when kcopyd is copying data (it is assumed that the region is not on any list while kcopyd does its jobs). This results in memory corruption and crash. There already exist bypasses for REQ_FLUSH requests: REQ_FLUSH requests do not belong to any region, so they are always added to the sync list in do_writes. dm_rh_inc_pending does not increase count for REQ_FLUSH requests. In mirror_end_io, dm_rh_dec is never called for REQ_FLUSH requests. These bypasses avoid the crash possibility described above. These bypasses were improperly implemented for REQ_DISCARD when the mirror target gained discard support in commit 5fc2ffea (dm raid1: support discard). In do_writes, REQ_DISCARD requests is always added to the sync queue and immediately dispatched (even if the region is in DM_RH_RECOVERING). However, dm_rh_inc and dm_rh_dec is called for REQ_DISCARD resusts. So it violates the rule that no I/Os are started on DM_RH_RECOVERING regions, and causes the list corruption described above. This patch changes it so that REQ_DISCARD requests follow the same path as REQ_FLUSH. This avoids the crash.

It is very common for the end of the file to be unaligned on stripe size. But since we know it's beyond file's end then the XOR should be preformed with all zeros. Old code used to just read zeros out of the OSD devices, which is a great waist. But what scares me more about this situation is that, we now have pages attached to the file's mapping that are beyond i_size. I don't like the kind of bugs this calls for. Fix both birds, by returning a global zero_page, if offset is beyond i_size.

In RAID_5/6 We used to not permit an IO that it's end byte is not stripe_size aligned and spans more than one stripe. .i.e the caller must check if after submission the actual transferred bytes is shorter, and would need to resubmit a new IO with the remainder. Exofs supports this, and NFS was supposed to support this as well with it's short write mechanism. But late testing has exposed a CRASH when this is used with none-RPC layout-drivers. The change at NFS is deep and risky, in it's place the fix at ORE to lift the limitation is actually clean and simple. So here it is below. The principal here is that in the case of unaligned IO on both ends, beginning and end, we will send two read requests one like old code, before the calculation of the first stripe, and also a new site, before the calculation of the last stripe. If any "boundary" is aligned or the complete IO is within a single stripe. we do a single read like before. The code is clean and simple by splitting the old _read_4_write into 3 even parts: 1._read_4_write_first_stripe 2. _read_4_write_last_stripe 3. _read_4_write_execute And calling 1+3 at the same place as before. 2+3 before last stripe, and in the case of all in a single stripe then 1+2+3 is preformed additively. Why did I not think of it before. Well I had a strike of genius because I have stared at this code for 2 years, and did not find this simple solution, til today. Not that I did not try. This solution is much better for NFS than the previous supposedly solution because the short write was dealt with out-of-band after IO_done, which would cause for a seeky IO pattern where as in here we execute in order. At both solutions we do 2 separate reads, only here we do it within a single IO request. (And actually combine two writes into a single submission) NFS/exofs code need not change since the ORE API communicates the new shorter length on return, what will happen is that this case would not occur anymore. hurray!!
