* dm: enable request based optionKiyoshi Ueda2009-06-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch enables request-based dm. o Request-based dm and bio-based dm coexist, since there are some target drivers which are more fitting to bio-based dm. Also, there are other bio-based devices in the kernel (e.g. md, loop). Since bio-based device can't receive struct request, there are some limitations on device stacking between bio-based and request-based. type of underlying device bio-based request-based ---------------------------------------------- bio-based OK OK request-based -- OK The device type is recognized by the queue flag in the kernel, so dm follows that. o The type of a dm device is decided at the first table binding time. Once the type of a dm device is decided, the type can't be changed. o Mempool allocations are deferred to at the table loading time, since mempools for request-based dm are different from those for bio-based dm and needed mempool type is fixed by the type of table. o Currently, request-based dm supports only tables that have a single target. To support multiple targets, we need to support request splitting or prevent bio/request from spanning multiple targets. The former needs lots of changes in the block layer, and the latter needs that all target drivers support merge() function. Both will take a time.

* dm ioctl: support cookies for udevMilan Broz2009-06-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for passing a 32 bit "cookie" into the kernel with the DM_SUSPEND, DM_DEV_RENAME and DM_DEV_REMOVE ioctls. The (unsigned) value of this cookie is returned to userspace alongside the uevents issued by these ioctls in the variable DM_COOKIE. This means the userspace process issuing these ioctls can be notified by udev after udev has completed any actions triggered. To minimise the interface extension, we pass the cookie into the kernel in the event_nr field which is otherwise unused when calling these ioctls. Incrementing the version number allows userspace to determine in advance whether or not the kernel supports the cookie. If the kernel does support this but userspace does not, there should be no impact as the new variable will just get ignored.

* dm ioctl: validate name length when renamingMilan Broz2009-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When renaming a mapped device validate the length of the new name. The rename ioctl accepted any correctly-terminated string enclosed within the data passed from userspace. The other ioctls enforce a size limit of DM_NAME_LEN. If the name is changed and becomes longer than that, the device can no longer be addressed by name. Fix it by properly checking for device name length (including terminating zero).

* dm table: rework reference countingMikulas Patocka2009-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rework table reference counting. The existing code uses a reference counter. When the last reference is dropped and the counter reaches zero, the table destructor is called. Table reference counters are acquired/released from upcalls from other kernel code (dm_any_congested, dm_merge_bvec, dm_unplug_all). If the reference counter reaches zero in one of the upcalls, the table destructor is called from almost random kernel code. This leads to various problems: * dm_any_congested being called under a spinlock, which calls the destructor, which calls some sleeping function. * the destructor attempting to take a lock that is already taken by the same process. * stale reference from some other kernel code keeps the table constructed, which keeps some devices open, even after successful return from "dmsetup remove". This can confuse lvm and prevent closing of underlying devices or reusing device minor numbers. The patch changes reference counting so that the table destructor can be called only at predetermined places. The table has always exactly one reference from either mapped_device->map or hash_cell->new_map. After this patch, this reference is not counted in table->holders. A pair of dm_create_table/dm_destroy_table functions is used for table creation/destruction. Temporary references from the other code increase table->holders. A pair of dm_table_get/dm_table_put functions is used to manipulate it. When the table is about to be destroyed, we wait for table->holders to reach 0. Then, we call the table destructor. We use active waiting with msleep(1), because the situation happens rarely (to one user in 5 years) and removing the device isn't performance-critical task: the user doesn't care if it takes one tick more or not. This way, the destructor is called only at specific points (dm_table_destroy function) and the above problems associated with lazy destruction can't happen. Finally remove the temporary protection added to dm_any_congested(). Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>

* dm: table detect io beyond deviceJun'ichi Nomura2007-12-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a panic on shrinking a DM device if there is outstanding I/O to the part of the device that is being removed. (Normally this doesn't happen - a filesystem would be resized first, for example.) The bug is that __clone_and_map() assumes dm_table_find_target() always returns a valid pointer. It may fail if a bio arrives from the block layer but its target sector is no longer included in the DM btree. This patch appends an empty entry to table->targets[] which will be returned by a lookup beyond the end of the device. After calling dm_table_find_target(), __clone_and_map() and target_message() check for this condition using dm_target_is_valid(). Sample test script to trigger oops:

* dm io:ctl use constant struct sizeMilan Broz2007-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make size of dm_ioctl struct always 312 bytes on all supported architectures. This change retains compatibility with already-compiled code because it uses an embedded offset to locate the payload that follows the structure. On 64-bit architectures there is no change at all; on 32-bit we are increasing the size of dm-ioctl from 308 to 312 bytes. Currently with 32-bit userspace / 64-bit kernel on x86_64 some ioctls (including rename, message) are incorrectly rejected by the comparison against 'param + 1'. This breaks userspace lvrename and multipath 'fail_if_no_path' changes, for example. (BTW Device-mapper uses its own versioning and ignores the ioctl size bits. Only the generic ioctl compat code on mixed arches checks them, and that will continue to accept both sizes for now, but we intend to list 308 as deprecated and eventually remove it.)

* [PATCH] dm: fix find_device raceAlasdair G Kergon2006-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a race between dev_create() and find_device(). If the mdptr has not yet been stored against a device, find_device() needs to behave as though no device was found. It already returns NULL, but there is a dm_put() missing: it must drop the reference dm_get_md() took. The bug was introduced by dm-fix-mapped-device-ref-counting.patch. It manifests itself if another dm ioctl attempts to reference a newly-created device while the device creation ioctl is still running. The consequence is that the device cannot be removed until the machine is rebooted. Certain udev configurations can lead to this happening.

It introduces dm_lock_for_deletion() which is called when a device is about to be removed to ensure that nothing has it open and nothing further can open it.
