drbd: only fail empty flushes if no good data is reachable

2013-03-28T16:10:25+00:00

We completed empty flushes (blkdev_issue_flush()) with IO error
if we lost the local disk, even if we still have an established
replication link to a healthy remote disk.

Fix this to only report errors to upper layers,
if neither local nor remote data is reachable.

drbd: fix potential protocol error and resulting disconnect/reconnect

2013-01-21T21:58:36+00:00

When we notice a disk failure on the receiving side,
we stop sending it new incoming writes.

Depending on exact timing of various events, the same transfer log epoch
could end up containing both replicated (before we noticed the failure)
and local-only requests (after we noticed the failure).

The sanity checks in tl_release(), called when receiving a
P_BARRIER_ACK, check that the ack'ed transfer log epoch matches
the expected epoch, and the number of contained writes matches
the number of ack'ed writes.

In this case, they counted both replicated and local-only writes,
but the peer only acknowledges those it has seen.  We get a mismatch,
resulting in a protocol error and disconnect/reconnect cycle.

Messages logged are
  "BAD! BarrierAck #%u received with n_writes=%u, expected n_writes=%u!\n"

A similar issue can also be triggered when starting a resync while
having a healthy replication link, by invalidating one side, forcing a
full sync, or attaching to a diskless node.

Fix this by closing the current epoch if the state changes in a way
that would cause the replication intent of the next write.

Epochs now contain either only non-replicated,
or only replicated writes.

drbd: disambiguation, s/P_DISCARD_WRITE/P_SUPERSEDED/

2012-11-09T13:05:49+00:00

To avoid confusion with REQ_DISCARD aka TRIM, rename our
"discard concurrent write acks" from P_DISCARD_WRITE to P_SUPERSEDED.

At the same time, rename the drbd request event DISCARD_WRITE
to CONFLICT_RESOLVED. It already triggers both successful completion
or restart of the request, depending on our RQ_POSTPONED flag.

drbd: allow read requests to be retried after force-detach

2012-11-08T15:58:37+00:00

Sometimes, a lower level block device turns into a tar-pit,
not completing requests at all, not even doing error completion.

We can force-detach from such a tar-pit block device,
either by disk-timeout, or by drbdadm detach --force.

Queueing for retry only from the request destruction path (kref hit 0)
makes it impossible to retry affected read requests from the peer,
until the local IO completion happened, as the locally submitted
bio holds a reference on the drbd request object.

If we can only complete READs when the local completion finally
happens, we would not need to force-detach in the first place.

Instead, queue for retry where we otherwise had done the error completion.

drbd: base completion and destruction of requests on ref counts

2012-11-08T15:58:36+00:00

cherry-picked and adapted from drbd 9 devel branch

The logic for when to get or put a reference is in mod_rq_state().

To not get confused in the freeze/thaw respectively resend/restart
paths, or when cleaning up requests waiting for P_BARRIER_ACK, this
also introduces additional state flags:
RQ_COMPLETION_SUSP, and RQ_EXP_BARR_ACK.

drbd: rename drbd_restart_write to drbd_restart_request

2012-11-08T15:58:33+00:00

Meanwhile, this is used to restart failed READ requests as well.

drbd: fix potential deadlock during "restart" of conflicting writes

2012-11-08T15:58:21+00:00

w_restart_write(), run from worker context, calls __drbd_make_request()
and further drbd_al_begin_io(, delegate=true), which then
potentially deadlocks.  The previous patch moved a BUG_ON to expose
such call paths, which would now be triggered.

Also, if we call __drbd_make_request() from resource worker context,
like w_restart_write() did, and that should block for whatever reason
(!drbd_state_is_stable(), resource suspended, ...),
we potentially deadlock the whole resource, as the worker
is needed for state changes and other things.

Create a dedicated retry workqueue for this instead.

Also make sure that inc_ap_bio()/dec_ap_bio() are properly paired,
even if do_retry() needs to retry itself,
in case __drbd_make_request() returns != 0.

drbd: Runtime changeable wire protocol

2012-11-08T15:45:18+00:00

The wire protocol is no longer a property that is negotiated
between the two peers. It is now expressed with two bits
(DP_SEND_WRITE_ACK and DP_SEND_RECEIVE_ACK) in each data
packet. Therefore the primary node is free to change the
wire protocol at any time without disconnect/reconnect.
