The intention is to reduce CPU utilization. Recent measurements unveiled that the current performance bottleneck is CPU utilization on the receiving node. The asender thread became CPU limited. One of the main points is to eliminate the idr_for_each_entry() loop from the sending acks code path. One exception in that is sending back ping_acks. These stay in the ack-receiver thread. Otherwise the logic becomes too complicated for no added value. Signed-off-by:

A D_FAILED disk transitions as quickly as possible to D_DISKLESS. But in the "unresponsive local disk" case, there remains a time window where a administrative detach command could find the disk already failed, but some internal meta data IO against the unresponsive local disk still pending. In that case, drbd_md_get_buffer() will return NULL. Don't unconditionally call drbd_md_put_buffer(), or it will cause refcount imbalance, and prevent any further re-attach on this volume (until it is deleted and re-created). Signed-off-by:

The recent (not yet released) backport of the extended state broadcasts to support the "events2" subcommand of drbdsetup had some glitches. remember_old_state() would first count all connections with a net_conf != NULL, then allocate a suitable array, then populate that array with all connections found to have net_conf != NULL. This races with the state change to C_STANDALONE, and the NULL assignment there. remember_new_state() then iterates over said connection array, assuming that it would be fully populated. But rcu_lock() just makes sure the thing some pointer points to, if any, won't go away. It does not make the pointer itself immutable. In fact there is no need to "filter" connections based on whether or not they have a currently valid configuration. Just record them always, if they don't have a config, that's fine, there will be no change then. Signed-off-by:

The only way to make DRBD intentionally call panic is to set a disk timeout, have that trigger, "abort" some request and complete to upper layers, then have the backend IO subsystem later complete these requests successfully regardless. As the attached IO pages have been recycled for other purposes meanwhile, this will cause unexpected random memory changes. To prevent corruption, we rather panic in that case. Make it obvious from stack traces that this was the case by introducing drbd_panic_after_delayed_completion_of_aborted_request(). Signed-off-by:

Even though we really want to get the state information about our bad disk to the peer as soon as possible, it is useful to first call the local-io-error handler. People may chose to hard-reset the box from there. If that looks and behaves exactly like a "regular node crash", without bumping the data generation UUIDs on the peer in between, it makes it easier to deal with. If you intend to return from the local-io-error handler, then better return as quickly as possible to avoid triggering other timeouts. Signed-off-by:

If for some reason the primary lost its disk *and* the replication link before it is able to communicate the disk loss, probably blocked IO, then later is able to re-establish the connection, the peer needs to bump its UUIDs just like it does when peer only loses the disk and is able to communicate this in time. Otherwise, a later re-attach of the disk on the primary may start a resync in the "wrong" direction. Signed-off-by:

When detaching, we make sure no application IO is in-flight by internally suspending IO, then trigger the state change, wait for the result, and finally internally resume IO again. Once we triggered the stat change to "Failed", we expect it to change from Failed to Diskless. (To avoid races, we actually wait for it to leave "Failed"). On an unresponsive local IO backend, this may not happen, ever. Don't have a "hung" detach block IO "forever", but resume IO before waiting for the state change to Diskless. We may well be able to continue IO to and from a healthy peer. Signed-off-by:

(You should not use disk-timeout anyways, see the man page for why...) We add incoming requests to the tail of some ring list. On local completion, requests are removed from that list. The timer looks only at the head of that ring list, so is supposed to only see the oldest request. All protected by a spinlock. The request object is created with timestamps zeroed out. The timestamp was only filled in just before the actual submit. But to actually submit the request, we need to give up the spinlock. If you are unlucky, there is no older still pending request, the timer looks at a new request with timestamp still zero (before it even was submitted), and 0 + timeout is most likely older than "now". Better assign the timestamp right when we put the request object on said ring list. Signed-off-by:

The status command originates the drbd9 code base. While for now we keep the status information in /proc/drbd available, this commit allows the user base to gracefully migrate their monitoring infrastructure to the new status reporting interface. In drbd9 no status information is exposed through /proc/drbd. Signed-off-by:

The events2 command originates from drbd-9 development. It features more information but requires a incompatible change in output format. Therefore the previous events command continues to exist, the new improved events2 command becomes available now. This prepares the user-base for a later switch to the complete drbd9 code base.

Instead of using a rwlock for synchronizing state changes across resources, take the request locks of all resources for global state changes. Use resources_mutex to serialize global state changes. This means that taking the request lock of a resource is now enough to prevent changes of that resource. (Previously, a read lock on the global state lock was needed as well.) Signed-off-by:

We received a bug report recently when DDW (64-bit direct DMA on Power) is not enabled for NVMe devices. In that case, we fall back to 32-bit DMA via the IOMMU, which is always done via 4K TCEs (Translation Control Entries). The NVMe device driver, though, assumes that the DMA alignment for the PRP entries will match the device's page size, and that the DMA aligment matches the kernel's page aligment. On Power, the the IOMMU page size, as mentioned above, can be 4K, while the device can have a page size of 8K, while the kernel has a page size of 64K. This eventually trips the BUG_ON in nvme_setup_prps(), as we have a 'dma_len' that is a multiple of 4K but not 8K (e.g., 0xF000). In this particular case of page sizes, we clearly want to use the IOMMU's page size in the driver. And generally, the NVMe driver in this function should be using the IOMMU's page size for the default device page size, rather than the kernel's page size. There is not currently an API to obtain the IOMMU's page size across all architectures and in the interest of a stop-gap fix to this functional issue, default the NVMe device page size to 4K, with the intent of adding such an API and implementation across all architectures in the next merge window. With the functionally equivalent v3 of this patch, our hardware test exerciser survives when using 32-bit DMA; without the patch, the kernel will BUG within a few minutes.

I got a crash during a "perf top" session that was caused by a race in __task_pid_nr_ns() : pid_nr_ns() was inlined, but apparently compiler chose to read task->pids[type].pid twice, and the pid->level dereference crashed because we got a NULL pointer at the second read : if (pid && ns->level <= pid->level) { // CRASH Just use RCU API properly to solve this race, and not worry about "perf top" crashing hosts :( get_task_pid() can benefit from same fix.

Pull block layer fixes from Jens Axboe: "A round of fixes/updates for the current series. This looks a little bigger than it is, but that's mainly because we pushed the lightnvm enabled null_blk change out of the merge window so it could be updated a bit. The rest of the volume is also mostly lightnvm. In particular: - Lightnvm. Various fixes, additions, updates from Matias and Javier, as well as from Wenwei Tao. - NVMe: - Fix for potential arithmetic overflow from Keith. - Also from Keith, ensure that we reap pending completions from a completion queue before deleting it. Fixes kernel crashes when resetting a device with IO pending. - Various little lightnvm related tweaks from Matias. - Fixup flushes to go through the IO scheduler, for the cases where a flush is not required. Fixes a case in CFQ where we would be idling and not see this request, hence not break the idling. From Jan Kara. - Use list_{first,prev,next} in elevator.c for cleaner code. From Gelian Tang. - Fix for a warning trigger on btrfs and raid on single queue blk-mq devices, where we would flush plug callbacks with preemption disabled. From me. - A mac partition validation fix from Kees Cook. - Two merge fixes from Ming, marked stable. A third part is adding a new warning so we'll notice this quicker in the future, if we screw up the accounting. - Cleanup of thread name/creation in mtip32xx from Rasmus Villemoes" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (32 commits) blk-merge: warn if figured out segment number is bigger than nr_phys_segments blk-merge: fix blk_bio_segment_split block: fix segment split blk-mq: fix calling unplug callbacks with preempt disabled mac: validate mac_partition is within sector mtip32xx: use formatting capability of kthread_create_on_node NVMe: reap completion entries when deleting queue lightnvm: add free and bad lun info to show luns lightnvm: keep track of block counts nvme: lightnvm: use admin queues for admin cmds lightnvm: missing free on init error lightnvm: wrong return value and redundant free null_blk: do not del gendisk with lightnvm null_blk: use device addressing mode null_blk: use ppa_cache pool NVMe: Fix possible arithmetic overflow for max segments blk-flush: Queue through IO scheduler when flush not required null_blk: register as a LightNVM device elevator: use list_{first,prev,next}_entry lightnvm: cleanup queue before target removal ... -

Commit bdced438(block: setup bi_phys_segments after splitting) introduces function of computing bio->bi_phys_segments during bio splitting. Unfortunately both bio->bi_seg_front_size and bio->bi_seg_back_size arn't computed, so too many physical segments may be obtained for one request since both the two are used to check if one segment across two bios can be possible.

When establishing a thin device's discard limits we cannot rely on the underlying thin-pool device's discard capabilities (which are inherited from the thin-pool's underlying data device) given that DM thin devices must provide discard support even when the thin-pool's underlying data device doesn't support discards. Users were exposed to this thin device discard limits regression if their thin-pool's underlying data device does _not_ support discards. This regression caused all upper-layers that called the blkdev_issue_discard() interface to not be able to issue discards to thin devices (because discard_granularity was 0). This regression wasn't caught earlier because the device-mapper-test-suite's extensive 'thin-provisioning' discard tests are only ever performed against thin-pool's with data devices that support discards. Fix is to have thin_io_hints() test the pool's 'discard_enabled' feature rather than inferring whether or not a thin device's discard support should be enabled by looking at the thin-pool's discard_granularity. Fixes: 21607670 ("dm thin: disable discard support for thin devices if pool's is disabled") Reported-by:

Merge slub bulk allocator updates from Andrew Morton: "This missed the merge window because I was waiting for some repairs to come in. Nothing actually uses the bulk allocator yet and the changes to other code paths are pretty small. And the net guys are waiting for this so they can start merging the client code" More comments from Jesper Dangaard Brouer: "The kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() call, in mm/slub.c, were included in previous kernel. The present version contains a bug. Vladimir Davydov noticed it contained a bug, when kernel is compiled with CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM (see commit 03ec0ed5: "slub: fix kmem cgroup bug in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk"). Plus the mem cgroup counterpart in kmem_cache_free_bulk() were missing (see commit 03374518 "slub: add missing kmem cgroup support to kmem_cache_free_bulk"). I don't consider the fix stable-material because there are no in-tree users of the API. But with known bugs (for memcg) I cannot start using the API in the net-tree" * emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: slab/slub: adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API slub: add missing kmem cgroup support to kmem_cache_free_bulk slub: fix kmem cgroup bug in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk slub: optimize bulk slowpath free by detached freelist slub: support for bulk free with SLUB freelists
