With this change, the aoe driver treats the value zero as special for
the aoe_deadsecs module parameter. Normally, this value specifies the
number of seconds during which the driver will continue to attempt
retransmits to an unresponsive AoE target. After aoe_deadsecs has
elapsed, the aoe driver marks the aoe device as "down" and fails all
I/O.
The new meaning of an aoe_deadsecs of zero is for the driver to
retransmit commands indefinitely.

Many AoE targets have four or fewer network ports, but some existing
storage devices have many, and the AoE protocol sets no limit.
This patch allows the use of more than eight remote MAC addresses per AoE
target, while reducing the amount of memory used by the aoe driver in
cases where there are many AoE targets with fewer than eight MAC addresses
each.

This change avoids a race that could result in a NULL pointer derference
following a WARNing from kobject_add_internal, "don't try to register
things with the same name in the same directory."
The problem was found with a test that forgets and discovers an
aoe device in a loop:
while test ! -r /tmp/stop; do
aoe-flush -a
aoe-discover
done
The race was between aoedev_flush taking aoedevs out of the devlist,
allowing a new discovery of the same AoE target to take place before the
driver gets around to calling sysfs_remove_group. Fixing that one
revealed another race between do_open and add_disk, and this patch avoids
that, too.
The fix required some care, because for flushing (forgetting) an aoedev,
some of the steps must be performed under lock and some must be able to
sleep. Also, for discovering a new aoedev, some steps might sleep.
The check for a bad aoedev pointer remains from a time when about half of
this patch was done, and it was possible for the
bdev->bd_disk->private_data to become corrupted. The check should be
removed eventually, but it is not expected to add significant overhead,
occurring in the aoeblk_open routine.

An AoE target can have multiple network ports used for AoE, and in the
aoe driver, those are tracked by the aoetgt struct. These changes allow
the aoe driver to handle network paths, or aoetgts, that are not working
well, compared to the others.
Paths that do not get responses despite the retransmission of AoE
commands are marked as "tainted", and non-tainted paths are preferred.
Meanwhile, the aoe driver attempts to "probe" the tainted path in the
background by issuing reads of LBA 0 that are padded out to full
(possibly jumbo-frame) size. If the probes get responses, then the path
is "redeemed", and its taint is removed.
This mechanism has been shown to be helpful in transparently handling
and recovering from real-world network "brown outs" in ways that the
earlier "shoot the help-needing target in the head" mechanism could not.

The value returned by the static minor device number number allocator is
the real minor number, so it must be multiplied by the supported number
of partitions per aoedev.
Without this fix the support for systems without udev is incomplete, and
the few users of aoe on such systems will have surprising results when
device nodes names do not match the AoE target.

Because the minor_get and related functions use the return values for
errors, the compiler doesn't know that sysminor will always either 1) be
initialized in aoedev_by_aoeaddr by the call to minor_get, or 2) be
unused as the "goto out" is executed.
This patch avoids the compiler warning.

The aoe driver will never be waiting for more than aoe_maxout AoE
commands from a given remote network port on an AoE target. Increasing
the cap increases performance. Users can tighten the setting to reduce
the amount of memory used for handling AoE traffic or the network
bandwidth used for AoE.

Before the aoe driver was an I/O request handler, it was a
make_request-style block driver. Even so, there was a problem where
sysfs expected a request queue to exist, so one was provided in commit
7135a71b19be ("aoe: allocate unused request_queue for sysfs").
During the transition to the request-handler style, a patch was merged
that was based on a driver without the noop queue, and the noop queue
remained in place after the patch was merged, even though a new
functional queue was introduced by the patch, allocated through
blk_init_queue.
The user impact is a memory leak proportional to the number of AoE
targets discovered. This patch removes the memory leak and cleans up
vestiges of the old do-nothing queue from the aoeblk_gdalloc function.

Commit f3b8e07af774 ("aoe: commands in retransmit queue use new
destination on failure") omits the copying of the coarse-grained time
when an AoE command was sent during the failover from one destination
MAC address on the AoE target to another.
The coarse-grained timing is only used when the system time changes or
an unlikely length of time has passed since the sending of the AoE
command. Users will not be impacted unless their system clock is very
inaccurate or something unusual (e.g., 10 GbE link reset) happens during
the period when the aoe driver is handling the failure of a port on the
AoE target. Being effected will mean that an AoE target could be
considered "down" too eagerly.

When one remote MAC address isn't working as a destination for AoE
commands, the frames used to track information associated with the AoE
commands are moved to a new aoetgt (defined by the tuple of {AoE major,
AoE minor, target MAC address}).
This patch makes sure that the frames on the queue for retransmits that
need to be done are updated to use the new destination, so that
retransmits will be sent through a working network path.
Without this change, packets on the retransmit queue will be needlessly
retransmitted to the unresponsive destination MAC, possibly causing
premature target failure before there's time for the retransmit timer to
run again, decide to retransmit again, and finally update the destination
to a working MAC address on the AoE target.

These changes improve the accuracy of the decision about whether it's time
to retransmit an AoE command by using the microsecond-resolution
gettimeofday instead of jiffies.
Because the system time can jump suddenly, the decision reverts to using
jiffies if the high-resolution time difference is relatively large.
Otherwise the AoE targets could be considered failed inappropriately.

With this bugfix in place the calculation of the criterion for "lateness"
is performed under lock. Without the lock, there is a chance that one of
the non-atomic operations performed on the round trip time statistics
could be incomplete, such that an incorrect lateness criterion would be
calculated.
Without this change, the effect of the bug would be rare unecessary but
benign retransmissions.

The /dev/etherd/err character device provides low-level information about
normal but sometimes interesting AoE command retransmits and "unexpected
responses", i.e., responses for packets that have already been
retransmitted.
This change adds MAC addresses to the messages about unexpected responses,
so that when they occur, it's more easy to determine the network paths to
which they belong.

The aoe driver already had some congestion handling, but it was limited in
its ability to cope with the kind of congestion that can arise on more
complex networks such as those involving paths through multiple ethernet
switches.
Some of the lessons from TCP's history of development can be applied to
improving the congestion control and avoidance on AoE storage networks.
These changes use familar concepts from Van Jacobson's "Congestion
Avoidance and Control" paper from '88, without adding significant
overhead.
This patch depends on an upcoming patch that covers the failover case when
AoE commands being retransmitted are transferred from one retransmit queue
to another. Another upcoming patch increases the timing accuracy.

The ATA over Ethernet config query response contains a "buffer count"

By taking the current value of this field into accound, we increase

- A huge pile of drbd bits that were dumped from the 3.7 merge
window. Following that, it was both made perfectly clear that
there is going to be no more over-the-wall pulls and how the
situation on individual pulls can be improved.
- A few cleanups from Akinobu Mita for drbd and cciss.
- Queue improvement for loop from Lukas. This grew into adding a
generic interface for waiting/checking an even with a specific
lock, allowing this to be pulled out of md and now loop and drbd is
also using it.
- A few fixes for xen back/front block driver from Roger Pau Monne.
- Partition improvements from Stephen Warren, allowing partiion UUID
to be used as an identifier."

drbd_set_role(, R_PRIMARY, ) does the state change to Primary,
some more housekeeping, and possibly generates a new UUID set.
All of this holding the "state_mutex".
The connection handshake involves sending of various state information,
including the current data generation UUID set, and two connection
state changes from C_WF_CONNECTION to C_WF_REPORT_PARAMS further to
a number of different outcomes, resync being one of them.
If the connection handshake happens between the state change to Primary
and the generation of the new UUIDs, the resync decision based on the
old UUID set may be confused, depending on circumstances.
Make sure that, before we do the handshake, any promotion to Primary
role will either be complete (including the housekeeping stuff), or can
see, and serialize with, the ongoing handshake, based on the
"STATE_SENT" bit, which is set when we start the handshake, and cleared
only when we leave C_WF_REPORT_PARAMS again.

Currently there is not limitation of number of requests in the loop bio
list. This can lead into some nasty situations when the caller spawns
tons of bio requests taking huge amount of memory. This is even more
obvious with discard where blkdev_issue_discard() will submit all bios
for the range and wait for them to finish afterwards. On really big loop
devices and slow backing file system this can lead to OOM situation as
reported by Dave Chinner.
With this patch we will wait in loop_make_request() if the number of
bios in the loop bio list would exceed 'nr_congestion_on'.
We'll wake up the process as we process the bios form the list. Some
threshold hysteresis is in place to avoid high frequency oscillation.

This patch contains fixes for persistent grants implementation v2:
* handle == 0 is a valid handle, so initialize grants in blkback
setting the handle to BLKBACK_INVALID_HANDLE instead of 0. Reported
by Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk.
* new_map is a boolean, use "true" or "false" instead of 1 and 0.
Reported by Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk.
* blkfront announces the persistent-grants feature as
feature-persistent-grants, use feature-persistent instead which is
consistent with blkback and the public Xen headers.
* Add a consistency check in blkfront to make sure we don't try to
access segments that have not been set.

This patch implements persistent grants for the xen-blk{front,back}
mechanism. The effect of this change is to reduce the number of unmap
operations performed, since they cause a (costly) TLB shootdown. This
allows the I/O performance to scale better when a large number of VMs
are performing I/O.
Previously, the blkfront driver was supplied a bvec[] from the request
queue. This was granted to dom0; dom0 performed the I/O and wrote
directly into the grant-mapped memory and unmapped it; blkfront then
removed foreign access for that grant. The cost of unmapping scales
badly with the number of CPUs in Dom0. An experiment showed that when
Dom0 has 24 VCPUs, and guests are performing parallel I/O to a
ramdisk, the IPIs from performing unmap's is a bottleneck at 5 guests
(at which point 650,000 IOPS are being performed in total). If more
than 5 guests are used, the performance declines. By 10 guests, only
400,000 IOPS are being performed.
This patch improves performance by only unmapping when the connection
between blkfront and back is broken.
On startup blkfront notifies blkback that it is using persistent
grants, and blkback will do the same. If blkback is not capable of
persistent mapping, blkfront will still use the same grants, since it
is compatible with the previous protocol, and simplifies the code
complexity in blkfront.
To perform a read, in persistent mode, blkfront uses a separate pool
of pages that it maps to dom0. When a request comes in, blkfront
transmutes the request so that blkback will write into one of these
free pages. Blkback keeps note of which grefs it has already
mapped. When a new ring request comes to blkback, it looks to see if
it has already mapped that page. If so, it will not map it again. If
the page hasn't been previously mapped, it is mapped now, and a record
is kept of this mapping. Blkback proceeds as usual. When blkfront is
notified that blkback has completed a request, it memcpy's from the
shared memory, into the bvec supplied. A record that the {gref, page}
tuple is mapped, and not inflight is kept.
Writes are similar, except that the memcpy is peformed from the
supplied bvecs, into the shared pages, before the request is put onto
the ring.
Blkback stores a mapping of grefs=>{page mapped to by gref} in
a red-black tree. As the grefs are not known apriori, and provide no
guarantees on their ordering, we have to perform a search
through this tree to find the page, for every gref we receive. This
operation takes O(log n) time in the worst case. In blkfront grants
are stored using a single linked list.
The maximum number of grants that blkback will persistenly map is
currently set to RING_SIZE * BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST, to
prevent a malicios guest from attempting a DoS, by supplying fresh
grefs, causing the Dom0 kernel to map excessively. If a guest
is using persistent grants and exceeds the maximum number of grants to
map persistenly the newly passed grefs will be mapped and unmaped.
Using this approach, we can have requests that mix persistent and
non-persistent grants, and we need to handle them correctly.
This allows us to set the maximum number of persistent grants to a
lower value than RING_SIZE * BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST, although
setting it will lead to unpredictable performance.
In writing this patch, the question arrises as to if the additional
cost of performing memcpys in the guest (to/from the pool of granted
pages) outweigh the gains of not performing TLB shootdowns. The answer
to that question is `no'. There appears to be very little, if any
additional cost to the guest of using persistent grants. There is
perhaps a small saving, from the reduced number of hypercalls
performed in granting, and ending foreign access.

The 8.3.12 commit drbd: Bugfix for the connection behavior fixes a
"wasted established connection", if a former connection attempt failed
during its early stages.
However it opened a window for a regression, if a connection attempt
fails during its last stages. The result was a terminated receiver
thread, that left behind the supposedly transient "C_UNCONNECTED" state.
Any later requests to change the connection state fail, as they wait for
the connection state to "stabilize".
Fix: short circuit and keep retrying to restablish a new connection,
if we don't reach C_WF_REPORT_PARAMS.

If the disk has failed already, there is no point trying to change the
bitmap. drbd_set_out_of_sync() already had this safeguard,
time to add it to drbd_set_in_sync() as well.
This also prevents some warning messages, like
FIXME asender in bm_change_bits_to, bitmap locked for 'detach' by worker
if our disk fails during resync, while there are some resync acks queued up.
