| * dm mpath: use more error codesBenjamin Marzinski2008-10-101-10/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows path errors from the multipath ctr function to propagate up to userspace as errno values from the ioctl() call. This is in response to https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2008-May/msg00000.html and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=444421 The patch only lets through the errors that it needs to in order to get the path errors from parse_path().

* dm mpath: add missing path switching lockingChandra Seetharaman2008-10-011-1/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Moving the path activation to workqueue along with scsi_dh patches introduced a race. It is due to the fact that the current_pgpath (in the multipath data structure) can be modified if changes happen in any of the paths leading to the lun. If the changes lead to current_pgpath being set to NULL, then it leads to the invalid access which results in the panic below. This patch fixes that by storing the pgpath to activate in the multipath data structure and properly protecting it. Note that if activate_path is called twice in succession with different pgpath, with the second one being called before the first one is done, then activate path will be called twice for the second pgpath, which is fine.

* [SCSI] scsi_dh: attach to hardware handler from dm-mpathHannes Reinecke2008-07-261-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | multipath keeps a separate device table which may be more current than the built-in one.

* [SCSI] scsi_dh: Add a single threaded workqueue for initializing pathsChandra Seetharaman2008-06-051-7/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before this patch set (SCSI hardware handlers), initialization of a path was done asynchronously. Doing that requires a workqueue in each device/hardware handler module and leads to unneccessary complication in the device handler code, making it difficult to read the code and follow the state diagram. Moving that workqueue to this level makes the device handler code simpler. Hence, the workqueue is moved to dm level. A new workqueue is added instead of adding it to the existing workqueue (kmpathd) for the following reasons: 1. Device activation has to happen faster, stacking them along with the other workqueue might lead to unnecessary delay in the activation of the path. 2. The effect could be felt the other way too. i.e the current events that are handled by the existing workqueue might get a delayed response.

* [SCSI] scsi_dh: Use SCSI device handler in dm-multipathChandra Seetharaman2008-06-051-51/+80
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch converts dm-mpath to use scsi device handlers instead of dm's hardware handlers. This patch does not add any new functionality. Old behaviors remain and userspace tools work as is except that arguments supplied with hardware handler are ignored. One behavioral exception is: Activation of a path is synchronous in this patch, opposed to the older behavior of being asynchronous (changed in patch 07: scsi_dh: Add a single threaded workqueue for initializing a path) Note: There is no need to get a reference for the device handler module (as it was done in the dm hardware handler case) here as the reference is held when the device was first found. Instead we check and make sure that support for the specified device is present at table load time.

* dm mpath: add retry pg initDave Wysochanski2007-10-201-14/+67
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows a failed path group initialisation command to be retried. It adds a generic MP_RETRY flag and a "pg_init_retries" feature to device-mapper multipath which limits the number of retries. 1. A hw handler sends a path initialization command to the storage and the command completes with an error code indicating the command should be retried. 2. The hardware handler calls dm_pg_init_complete() with MP_RETRY set in err_flags to ask the dm multipath core to retry. 3. If the retry limit has not been exceeded, pg_init() is retried. Otherwise fail_path() is called. If you are using the userspace multipath-tools or device-mapper-multipath package, you can set pg_init_retries in the 'device' section of your /etc/multipath.conf file. For example: features "2 pg_init_retries 7" The number of PG retries attempted is reported in the 'dmsetup status' output.

* [PATCH] dm: mpath: use noflush suspendingKiyoshi Ueda2006-12-081-5/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement the pushback feature for the multipath target. The pushback request is used when: 1) there are no valid paths; 2) queue_if_no_path was set; 3) a suspend is being issued with the DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag. Otherwise bios are returned to applications with -EIO. To check whether queue_if_no_path is specified or not, you need to check both queue_if_no_path and saved_queue_if_no_path, because presuspend saves the original queue_if_no_path value to saved_queue_if_no_path. The check for 1 already exists in both map_io() and do_end_io(). So this patch adds __must_push_back() to check 2 and 3. Test results: See the test results in the preceding patch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When creating a multipath device, if the queue_if_no_path parameter is specified it gets ignored. While the queue_if_no_path variable is correctly set to 1, the saved_queue_if_no_path gets set to 0. When the device is subsequently made live (resumed), the saved value (0) always overwrites the live value (1) so the option *always* gets turned off. The fix adds a parameter to the queue_if_no_path() function to indicate whether the previous value should be preserved or not - if not, as when the device is being set up, the saved value is set to the new value (1).

* [PATCH] device-mapper multipath: Fix pg initialisation racesAlasdair G Kergon2005-07-121-14/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Prevent more than one priority group initialisation function from being outstanding at once. Otherwise the completion functions interfere with each other. Also, reloading the table could reference a freed pointer. Only reset queue_io in pg_init_complete if another pg_init isn't required. Skip process_queued_ios if the queue is empty so that we only trigger a pg_init if there's I/O.

* [PATCH] device-mapper multipath: Avoid possible suspension deadlockAlasdair G Kergon2005-07-121-12/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | To avoid deadlock when suspending a multipath device after all its paths have failed, stop queueing any I/O that is about to fail *before* calling freeze_bdev instead of after. Instead of setting a multipath 'suspended' flag which would have to be reset if an error occurs during the process, save the previous queueing state and leave userspace to restore if it wishes.

This error can be safely propagated upwards without failing the path.

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!
