      dm thin: switch to read only mode if a mapping insert fails · fafc7a81
      Joe Thornber authored 
      Switch the thin pool to read-only mode when dm_thin_insert_block() fails
since there is little reason to expect the cause of the failure to be
resolved without further action by user space.

This issue was noticed with the device-mapper-test-suite using:
dmtest run --suite thin-provisioning -n /exhausting_metadata_space_causes_fail_mode/

The quantity of errors logged in this case must be reduced.

      dm space map metadata: return on failure in sm_metadata_new_block · f62b6b8f
      Mike Snitzer authored 
      Commit 2fc48021 ("dm persistent
metadata: add space map threshold callback") introduced a regression
to the metadata block allocation path that resulted in errors being
ignored.  This regression was uncovered by running the following
device-mapper-test-suite test:
dmtest run --suite thin-provisioning -n /exhausting_metadata_space_causes_fail_mode/

The ignored error codes in sm_metadata_new_block() could crash the
kernel through use of either the dm-thin or dm-cache targets, e.g.:

device-mapper: thin: 253:4: reached low water mark for metadata device: sending event.

      dm table: fail dm_table_create on dm_round_up overflow · 5b2d0657
      Mikulas Patocka authored 
      The dm_round_up function may overflow to zero.  In this case,
dm_table_create() must fail rather than go on to allocate an empty array
with alloc_targets().

This fixes a possible memory corruption that could be caused by passing
too large a number in "param->target_count".

      dm snapshot: avoid snapshot space leak on crash · 230c83af
      Mikulas Patocka authored 
      There is a possible leak of snapshot space in case of crash.

The reason for space leaking is that chunks in the snapshot device are
allocated sequentially, but they are finished (and stored in the metadata)
out of order, depending on the order in which copying finished.

For example, supposed that the metadata contains the following records
SUPERBLOCK
METADATA (blocks 0 ... 250)
DATA 0
DATA 1
DATA 2
...
DATA 250

Now suppose that you allocate 10 new data blocks 251-260. Suppose that
copying of these blocks finish out of order (block 260 finished first
and the block 251 finished last). Now, the snapshot device looks like
this:
SUPERBLOCK
METADATA (blocks 0 ... 250, 260, 259, 258, 257, 256)
DATA 0
DATA 1
DATA 2
...
DATA 250
DATA 251
DATA 252
DATA 253
DATA 254
DATA 255
METADATA (blocks 255, 254, 253, 252, 251)
DATA 256
DATA 257
DATA 258
DATA 259
DATA 260

Now, if the machine crashes after writing the first metadata block but
before writing the second metadata block, the space for areas DATA 250-255
is leaked, it contains no valid data and it will never be used in the
future.

This patch makes dm-snapshot complete exceptions in the same order they
were allocated, thus fixing this bug.

Note: when backporting this patch to the stable kernel, change the version
field in the following way:
* if version in the stable kernel is {1, 11, 1}, change it to {1, 12, 0}
* if version in the stable kernel is {1, 10, 0} or {1, 10, 1}, change it
  to {1, 10, 2}
Userspace reads the version to determine if the bug was fixed, so the
version change is needed.

      dm mpath: requeue I/O during pg_init · b63349a7
      Hannes Reinecke authored 
      When pg_init is running no I/O can be submitted to the underlying
devices, as the path priority etc might change.  When using queue_io for
this, requests will be piling up within multipath as the block I/O
scheduler just sees a _very fast_ device.  All of this queued I/O has to
be resubmitted from within multipathing once pg_init is done.

This approach has the problem that it's virtually impossible to
abort I/O when pg_init is running, and we're adding heavy load
to the devices after pg_init since all of the queued I/O needs to be
resubmitted _before_ any requests can be pulled off of the request queue
and normal operation continues.

This patch will requeue the I/O that triggers the pg_init call, and
return 'busy' when pg_init is in progress.  With these changes the block
I/O scheduler will stop submitting I/O during pg_init, resulting in a
quicker path switch and less I/O pressure (and memory consumption) after
pg_init.

      dm mpath: fix race condition between multipath_dtr and pg_init_done · 954a73d5
      Shiva Krishna Merla authored 
      Whenever multipath_dtr() is happening we must prevent queueing any
further path activation work.  Implement this by adding a new
'pg_init_disabled' flag to the multipath structure that denotes future
path activation work should be skipped if it is set.  By disabling
pg_init and then re-enabling in flush_multipath_work() we also avoid the
potential for pg_init to be initiated while suspending an mpath device.

Without this patch a race condition exists that may result in a kernel
panic:

1) If after pg_init_done() decrements pg_init_in_progress to 0, a call
   to wait_for_pg_init_completion() assumes there are no more pending path
   management commands.
2) If pg_init_required is set by pg_init_done(), due to retryable
   mode_select errors, then process_queued_ios() will again queue the
   path activation work.
3) If free_multipath() completes before activate_path() work is called a
   NULL pointer dereference like the following can be seen when
   accessing members of the recently destructed multipath:

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000090
