      "message": "dm raid1: handle write failures\n\nThis patch gives mirror the ability to handle device failures\nduring normal write operations.\n\nThe \u0027write_callback\u0027 function is called when a write completes.\nIf all the writes failed or succeeded, we report failure or\nsuccess respectively.  If some of the writes failed, we call\nfail_mirror; which increments the error count for the device, notes\nthe type of error encountered (DM_RAID1_WRITE_ERROR),  and\nselects a new primary (if necessary).  Note that the primary\ndevice can never change while the mirror is not in-sync (IOW,\nwhile recovery is happening.)  This means that the scenario\nwhere a failed write changes the primary and gives\nrecovery_complete a chance to misread the primary never happens.\nThe fact that the primary can change has necessitated the change\nto the default_mirror field.  We need to protect against reading\ngarbage while the primary changes.  We then add the bio to a new\nlist in the mirror set, \u0027failures\u0027.  For every bio in the \u0027failures\u0027\nlist, we call a new function, \u0027__bio_mark_nosync\u0027, where we mark\nthe region \u0027not-in-sync\u0027 in the log and properly set the region\nstate as, RH_NOSYNC.  Userspace must also be notified of the\nfailure.  This is done by \u0027raising an event\u0027 (dm_table_event()).\nIf fail_mirror is called in process context the event can be raised\nright away.  If in interrupt context, the event is deferred to the\nkmirrord thread - which raises the event if \u0027event_waiting\u0027 is set.\n\nBackwards compatibility is maintained by ignoring errors if\nthe DM_FEATURES_HANDLE_ERRORS flag is not present.\n\nSigned-off-by: Jonathan Brassow \u003cjbrassow@redhat.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon \u003cagk@redhat.com\u003e\n"

      "message": "dm raid1: handle resync failures\n\nDevice-mapper mirroring currently takes a best effort approach to\nrecovery - failures during mirror synchronization are completely ignored.\nThis means that regions are marked \u0027in-sync\u0027 and \u0027clean\u0027 and removed\nfrom the hash list.  Future reads and writes that query the region\nwill incorrectly interpret the region as in-sync.\n\nThis patch handles failures during the recovery process.  If a failure\noccurs, the region is marked as \u0027not-in-sync\u0027 (aka RH_NOSYNC) and added\nto a new list \u0027failed_recovered_regions\u0027.\n\nRegions on the \u0027failed_recovered_regions\u0027 list are not marked as \u0027clean\u0027\nupon removal from the list.  Furthermore, if the DM_RAID1_HANDLE_ERRORS\nflag is set, the region is marked as \u0027not-in-sync\u0027.  This action prevents\nany future read-balancing from choosing an invalid device because of the\n\u0027not-in-sync\u0027 status.\n\nIf \"handle_errors\" is not specified when creating a mirror (leaving the\nDM_RAID1_HANDLE_ERRORS flag unset), failures will be ignored exactly as they\nwould be without this patch.  This is to preserve backwards compatibility with\nuser-space tools, such as \u0027pvmove\u0027.  However, since future read-balancing\npolicies will rely on the correct sync status of a region, a user must choose\n\"handle_errors\" when using read-balancing.\n\nSigned-off-by: Jonathan Brassow \u003cjbrassow@redhat.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon \u003cagk@redhat.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n"

      "message": "[PATCH] dm: Fix deadlock under high i/o load in raid1 setup.\n\nOn an nForce4-equipped machine with two SATA disk in raid1 setup using dmraid,\nwe experienced frequent deadlock of the system under high i/o load.  \u0027cat\n/dev/zero \u003e ~/zero\u0027 was the most reliable way to reproduce them: Randomly\nafter a few GB, \u0027cp\u0027 would be left in \u0027D\u0027 state along with kjournald and\nkmirrord.  The functions cp and kjournald were blocked in did vary, but\nkmirrord\u0027s wchan always pointed to \u0027mempool_alloc()\u0027.  We\u0027ve seen this pattern\non 2.6.15 and 2.6.17 kernels.  http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/4/20/142 indicates\nthat this problem has been around even before.\n\nSo much for the facts, here\u0027s my interpretation: mempool_alloc() first tries\nto atomically allocate the requested memory, or falls back to hand out\npreallocated chunks from the mempool.  If both fail, it puts the calling\nprocess (kmirrord in this case) on a private waitqueue until somebody refills\nthe pool.  Where the only \u0027somebody\u0027 is kmirrord itself, so we have a\ndeadlock.\n\nI worked around this problem by falling back to a (blocking) kmalloc when\nbefore kmirrord would have ended up on the waitqueue.  This defeats part of\nthe benefits of using the mempool, but at least keeps the system running.  And\nit could be done with a two-line change.  Note that mempool_alloc() clears the\nGFP_NOIO flag internally, and only uses it to decide whether to wait or return\nan error if immediate allocation fails, so the attached patch doesn\u0027t change\nbehaviour in the non-deadlocking case.  Path is against current git\n(2.6.18-rc4), but should apply to earlier versions as well.  I\u0027ve tested on\n2.6.15, where this patch makes the difference between random lockup and a\nstable system.\n\nSigned-off-by: Daniel Kobras \u003ckobras@linux.de\u003e\nAcked-by: Alasdair G Kergon \u003cagk@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: \u003cstable@kernel.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n"

This problem occurs if initial recovery (synching) is\ninterrupted and resumed.\n\nAttached patch fixes this problem.\n\nBackground:\n\nrh_dec() changes the region state from RH_NOSYNC (out-of-sync) to RH_CLEAN\n(in-sync), which results in the corresponding bit of clean_bits being set.\n\nThis is harmful if on-disk log is used and the map is removed/suspended\nbefore the initial sync is completed.  The clean_bits is written down to\nthe on-disk log at the map removal, and, upon resume, it\u0027s read and copied\nto sync_bits.  Since the recovery process refers to the sync_bits to find a\nregion to be recovered, the region whose state was changed from RH_NOSYNC\nto RH_CLEAN is no longer recovered.\n\nIf you haven\u0027t applied dm-raid1-read-balancing.patch proposed in dm-devel\nsometimes ago, the contents of the mirrored disk just corrupt silently.  If\nyou have, balanced read may get bogus data from out-of-sync disks.\n\nThe patch keeps RH_NOSYNC state unchanged.  It will be changed to\nRH_RECOVERING when recovery starts and get reclaimed when the recovery\ncompletes.  So it doesn\u0027t leak the region hash entry.\n\nDescription:\n\nKeep RH_NOSYNC state unchanged when I/O on the region completes.\n\nrh_dec() changes the region state from RH_NOSYNC (out-of-sync) to RH_CLEAN\n(in-sync), which results in the corresponding bit of clean_bits being set.\n\nThis is harmful if on-disk log is used and the map is removed/suspended\nbefore the initial sync is completed.
