Now that we have the discard_zeroes_if_aligned setting, we should also check it when setting up our queue parameters on the primary, not only on the receiving side. We announce discard support, UNLESS * we are connected to a peer that does not support TRIM on the DRBD protocol level. Otherwise, it would either discard, or do a fallback to zero-out, depending on its backend and configuration. * our local backend does not support discards, or (discard_zeroes_data=0 AND discard_zeroes_if_aligned=no).

We can avoid spurious data divergence caused by partially-ignored discards on certain backends with discard_zeroes_data=0, if we translate partial unaligned discard requests into explicit zero-out. The relevant use case is LVM/DM thin. If on different nodes, DRBD is backed by devices with differing discard characteristics, discards may lead to data divergence (old data or garbage left over on one backend, zeroes due to unmapped areas on the other backend). Online verify would now potentially report tons of spurious differences. While probably harmless for most use cases (fstrim on a file system), DRBD cannot have that, it would violate our promise to upper layers that our data instances on the nodes are identical. To be correct and play safe (make sure data is identical on both copies), we would have to disable discard support, if our local backend (on a Primary) does not support "discard_zeroes_data=true". We'd also have to translate discards to explicit zero-out on the receiving (typically: Secondary) side, unless the receiving side supports "discard_zeroes_data=true". Which both would allocate those blocks, instead of unmapping them, in contrast with expectations. LVM/DM thin does set discard_zeroes_data=0, because it silently ignores discards to partial chunks. We can work around this by checking the alignment first. For unaligned (wrt. alignment and granularity) or too small discards, we zero-out the initial (and/or) trailing unaligned partial chunks, but discard all the aligned full chunks. At least for LVM/DM thin, the result is effectively "discard_zeroes_data=1". Arguably it should behave this way internally, by default, and we'll try to make that happen. But our workaround is still valid for already deployed setups, and for other devices that may behave this way. Setting discard-zeroes-if-aligned=yes will allow DRBD to use discards, and to announce discard_zeroes_data=true, even on backends that announce discard_zeroes_data=false. Setting discard-zeroes-if-aligned=no will cause DRBD to always fall-back to zero-out on the receiving side, and to not even announce discard capabilities on the Primary, if the respective backend announces discard_zeroes_data=false. We used to ignore the discard_zeroes_data setting completely. To not break established and expected behaviour, and suddenly cause fstrim on thin-provisioned LVs to run out-of-space, instead of freeing up space, the default value is "yes". Signed-off-by:

To maintain write-order fidelity accros all volumes in a DRBD resource, the receiver of a P_BARRIER needs to issue flushes to all volumes. We used to do this by calling blkdev_issue_flush(), synchronously, one volume at a time. We now submit all flushes to all volumes in parallel, then wait for all completions, to reduce worst-case latencies on multi-volume resources. Signed-off-by:

The command line parameter the kernel module uses to communicate the device minor to userland helper is flawed in a way that the device indentifier "minor-%d" is being truncated to minors with a maximum of 5 digits. But DRBD 8.4 allows 2^20 == 1048576 minors, thus a minimum of 7 digits must be supported. Reported by Veit Wahlich on drbd-dev. Signed-off-by:

Regression introduced with 8.4.5 drbd: application writes may set-in-sync in protocol != C Overwriting the same block (LBA) while a former version is still "in-flight" to the peer (to be exact: we did not receive the P_BARRIER_ACK for its epoch yet) would wait for the full epoch of that former version to be acknowledged by the peer. In synchronous and quasi-synchronous protocols C and B, this may double the latency on overwrites. With protocol A, which is supposed to be asynchronous and only wait for local completion, it is even worse: it would make overwrites quasi-synchronous, they would be hit by the full RTT, which protocol A was specifically meant to avoid, and possibly the additional time it takes to drain the buffers first. Particularly bad for databases, or anything else that does frequent updates to the same blocks (various file system meta data). No impact if >= rtt passes between updates to the same block.

If thinly provisioned volumes are used, during a resync the sync source tries to find out if a block is deallocated. If it is deallocated, then the resync target uses block_dev_issue_zeroout() on the range in question. Signed-off-by:

As long as the value is 0 the feature is disabled. With setting it to a positive value, DRBD limits and aligns its resync requests to the rs-discard-granularity setting. If the sync source detects all zeros in such a block, the resync target discards the range on disk. Signed-off-by:

When leaving resync states because of disconnect, do the bitmap write-out synchronously in the drbd_disconnected() path. When leaving resync states because we go back to AHEAD/BEHIND, or because resync actually finished, or some disk was lost during resync, trigger the write-out from after_state_ch(). The bitmap write-out for resync -> ahead/behind was missing completely before. Note that this is all only an optimization to avoid double-resyncs of already completed blocks in case this node crashes. Signed-off-by:

The intention was to only suspend IO if some normal bitmap operation is supposed to be locked out, not always. If the bulk operation is flaged as BM_LOCKED_CHANGE_ALLOWED, we do not need to suspend IO. Signed-off-by:

alloc_workqueue replaces deprecated create_workqueue(). Dedicated workqueues have been used since bcache_wq and moving_gc_wq are workqueues for writes and are being used on a memory reclaim path. WQ_MEM_RECLAIM has been set to ensure forward progress under memory pressure. Since there are only a fixed number of work items, explicit concurrency limit is unnecessary here. Signed-off-by:

In case of the active namespace list scanning method, a namespace that is detached is not removed from the host if it was the last entry in the list. Fix this by adding a scan to validate namespaces greater than the value of prev. This also handles the case of removing namespaces whose value exceed the device's reported number of namespaces.

This patch drops the compat definition of req_op where it matches the rq_flag_bits definitions, and drops the related old and compat code that allowed users to set either the op or flags for the operation.
