| * dm: fix opening log and cow devices for read only tablesMilan Broz2011-03-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a table is read-only, also open any log and cow devices it uses read-only. Previously, even read-only devices were opened read-write internally. After patch 75f1dc0d076d1c1168f2115f1941ea627d38bd5a block: check bdev_read_only() from blkdev_get() was applied, loading such tables began to fail. The patch was reverted by e51900f7d38cbcfb481d84567fd92540e7e1d23a block: revert block_dev read-only check but this patch fixes this part of the code to work with the original patch.

* dm log: use PTR_ERR value instead of ENOMEMDan Carpenter2011-01-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's nicer to return the PTR_ERR() value instead of just returning -ENOMEM. In the current code the PTR_ERR() value is always equal to -ENOMEM so this doesn't actually affect anything, but still... In addition, dm_dirty_log_create() doesn't check for a specific -ENOMEM return. So this change is safe relative to potential for a non -ENOMEM return in the future.

* dm: implement REQ_FLUSH/FUA support for bio-based dmTejun Heo2010-09-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch converts bio-based dm to support REQ_FLUSH/FUA instead of now deprecated REQ_HARDBARRIER. * -EOPNOTSUPP handling logic dropped. * Preflush is handled as before but postflush is dropped and replaced with passing down REQ_FUA to member request_queues. This replaces one array wide cache flush w/ member specific FUA writes. * __split_and_process_bio() now calls __clone_and_map_flush() directly for flushes and guarantees all FLUSH bio's going to targets are zero ` length. * It's now guaranteed that all FLUSH bio's which are passed onto dm targets are zero length. bio_empty_barrier() tests are replaced with REQ_FLUSH tests. * Empty WRITE_BARRIERs are replaced with WRITE_FLUSHes. * Dropped unlikely() around REQ_FLUSH tests. Flushes are not unlikely enough to be marked with unlikely(). * Block layer now filters out REQ_FLUSH/FUA bio's if the request_queue doesn't support cache flushing. Advertise REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA capability. * Request based dm isn't converted yet. dm_init_request_based_queue() resets flush support to 0 for now. To avoid disturbing request based dm code, dm->flush_error is added for bio based dm while requested based dm continues to use dm->barrier_error. Lightly tested linear, stripe, raid1, snap and crypt targets. Please proceed with caution as I'm not familiar with the code base.

| | | | | | | | | | | Call the flush callback from the log. If flush failed, we have no alternative but to mark the whole log as dirty.

* dm log: add flush callback fnMikulas Patocka2009-12-101-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce a callback pointer from the log to dm-raid1 layer. Before some region is set as "in-sync", we need to flush hardware cache on all the disks. But the log module doesn't have access to the mirror_set structure. So it will use this callback. So far the callback is unused, it will be used in further patches.

* dm log: introduce flush_failed variableMikulas Patocka2009-12-101-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce "flush failed" variable. When a flush before clearing a bit in the log fails, we don't know anything about which which regions are in-sync and which not. So we need to set all regions as not-in-sync and set the variable "flush_failed" to prevent setting the in-sync bit in the future. A target reload is the only way to get out of this situation.

After a transition from "dirty" to "clean" state we don't have flush hardware cache on the log device. After a transition from "clean" to "dirty" the cache must be flushed. Before a transition from "clean" to "dirty" state we don't have to flush all the raid legs. Before a transition from "dirty" to "clean" we must flush all the legs to make sure that they are really in sync.

* block: Do away with the notion of hardsect_sizeMartin K. Petersen2009-05-221-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device. With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case. The sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain 512-bytes.

* dm log: fix resume failed log deviceJonathan Brassow2007-05-091-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes the possibility of having uninitialized log state if the log device has failed. When a mirror resumes operation, it calls 'resume' on the logging module. If disk based logging is being used, the log device is read to fill in the log state. If the log device has failed, we cannot simply return, because this would leave the in-memory log state uninitialized. Instead, we assume all regions are out-of-sync and reset the log state. Failure to do this could result in the logging code reporting a region as in-sync, even though it isn't; which could result in a corrupted mirror.

That makes the BE machines keep the bitmap internally in LE order - it does mean you can't use any other type of operations on the bitmap words but that looks to be OK in this instance. The efficiency tradeoff is very minimal as you would expect for something that ext2 uses. This allows us to remove bits_to_core(), bits_to_disk() and log->disk_bits.

* [PATCH] make dm-mirror not issue invalid resync requestsDarrick J. Wong2006-01-061-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I've been attempting to set up a (Host)RAID mirror with dm_mirror on 2.6.14.3, and I've been having a strange little problem. The configuration in question is a set of 9GB SCSI disks that have 17942584 sectors. I set up the dm_mirror table as such: 0 17942528 mirror core 2 2048 nosync 2 8:48 0 8:64 0 If I'm not mistaken, this sets up a 9GB RAID1 mriror with 1MB stripes across both SCSI disks. The sector count of the dm device is less than the size of the disks, so we shouldn't fall off the end. However, I always get the messages like this in dmesg when I set up the dm table: attempt to access beyond end of device sdd: rw=0, want=17958656, limit=17942584 Clearly, something is trying to read sectors past the end of the drive. I traced it down to the __rh_recovery_prepare function in dm-raid1.c, which gets called when we're putting the mirror set together. This function calls the dirty region log's get_resync_work function to see if there's any resync that needs to be done, and queues up any areas that are out of sync. The log's get_resync_work function is actually a pointer to the core_get_resync_work function in dm-log.c. The core_get_resync_work function queries a bitset lc->sync_bits to find out if there are any regions that are out of date (i.e. the bit is 0), which is where the problem occurs. If every bit in lc->sync_bits is 1 (which is the case when we've just configured a new RAID1 with the nosync option), the find_next_zero_bit does NOT return the size parameter (lc->region_count in this case), it returns the size parameter rounded up to the nearest multiple of 32! I don't know if this is intentional, but i386 and x86_64 both exhibit this behavior. In any case, the statement "if (*region == lc->region_count)" looks like it's supposed to catch the case where are no regions to resync and return 0. Since find_next_zero_bit apparently has a habit of returning a value that's larger than lc->region_count, the enclosed patch changes the equality test to a greater-than test so that we don't try to resync areas outside of the RAID1 region. Seeing as the HostRAID metadata lives just past the end of the RAID1 data, mucking around in that area is not a good idea. I suppose another way to fix this would be to amend find_next_zero_bit so that it doesn't return values larger than "size", but I don't know if there's a reason for the current behavior.

* [PATCH] device-mapper: mirror log bitset fixAlasdair G Kergon2005-11-221-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The linux bitset operators (test_bit, set_bit etc) work on arrays of "unsigned long". dm-log uses such bitsets but treats them as arrays of uint32_t, only allocating and zeroing a multiple of 4 bytes (as 'clean_bits' is a uint32_t). The patch below fixes this problem. The problem is specific to 64-bit big endian machines such as s390x or ppc-64 and can prevent pvmove terminating. In the simplest case, if "region_count" were (say) 30, then bitset_size (below) would be 4 and bitset_uint32_count would be 1. Thus the memory for this butset, after allocation and zeroing would be 0 0 0 0 X X X X On a bigendian 64bit machine, bit 0 for this bitset is in the 8th byte! (and every bit that dm-log would use would be in the X area). 0 0 0 0 X X X X ^ here which hasn't been cleared properly. As the dm-raid1 code only syncs and counts regions which have a 0 in the 'sync_bits' bitset, and only finishes when it has counted high enough, a large number of 1's among those 'X's will cause the sync to not complete. It is worth noting that the code uses the same bitsets for in-memory and on-disk logs. As these bitsets are host-endian and host-sized, this means that they cannot safely be moved between computers with Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
