This is base kernel patch for ptrace RSE bug. It's basically a backport from the utrace RSE patch I sent out several weeks ago. please review. when a thread is stopped (ptraced), debugger might change thread's user stack (change memory directly), and we must avoid the RSE stored in kernel to override user stack (user space's RSE is newer than kernel's in the case). To workaround the issue, we copy kernel RSE to user RSE before the task is stopped, so user RSE has updated data. we then copy user RSE to kernel after the task is resummed from traced stop and kernel will use the newer RSE to return to user.

This patch adds extra information to the mirror status output, so that it can be determined which device(s) have failed. For each mirror device, a character is printed indicating the most severe error encountered. The characters are: * A => Alive - No failures * D => Dead - A write failure occurred leaving mirror out-of-sync * S => Sync - A sychronization failure occurred, mirror out-of-sync * R => Read - A read failure occurred, mirror data unaffected This allows userspace to properly reconfigure the mirror set.

This patch gives the ability to respond-to/record device failures that happen during read operations. It also adds the ability to read from mirror devices that are not the primary if they are in-sync. There are essentially two read paths in mirroring; the direct path and the queued path. When a read request is mapped, if the region is 'in-sync' the direct path is taken; otherwise the queued path is taken. If the direct path is taken, we must record bio information so that if the read fails we can retry it. We then discover the status of a direct read through mirror_end_io. If the read has failed, we will mark the device from which the read was attempted as failed (so we don't try to read from it again), restore the bio and try again. If the queued path is taken, we discover the results of the read from 'read_callback'. If the device failed, we will mark the device as failed and attempt the read again if there is another device where this region is known to be 'in-sync'.

This patch adds the ability to requeue write I/O to core device-mapper when there is a log device failure. If a write to the log produces and error, the pending writes are put on the "failures" list. Since the log is marked as failed, they will stay on the failures list until a suspend happens. Suspends come in two phases, presuspend and postsuspend. We must make sure that all the writes on the failures list are requeued in the presuspend phase (a requirement of dm core). This means that recovery must be complete (because writes may be delayed behind it) and the failures list must be requeued before we return from presuspend. The mechanisms to ensure recovery is complete (or stopped) was already in place, but needed to be moved from postsuspend to presuspend. We rely on 'flush_workqueue' to ensure that the mirror thread is complete and therefore, has requeued all writes in the failures list. Because we are using flush_workqueue, we must ensure that no additional 'queue_work' calls will produce additional I/O that we need to requeue (because once we return from presuspend, we are unable to do anything about it). 'queue_work' is called in response to the following functions: - complete_resync_work = NA, recovery is stopped - rh_dec (mirror_end_io) = NA, only calls 'queue_work' if it is ready to recover the region (recovery is stopped) or it needs to clear the region in the log* **this doesn't get called while suspending** - rh_recovery_end = NA, recovery is stopped - rh_recovery_start = NA, recovery is stopped - write_callback = 1) Writes w/o failures simply call bio_endio -> mirror_end_io -> rh_dec (see rh_dec above) 2) Writes with failures are put on the failures list and queue_work is called** ** write_callbacks don't happen during suspend ** - do_failures = NA, 'queue_work' not called if suspending - add_mirror (initialization) = NA, only done on mirror creation - queue_bio = NA, 1) delayed I/O scheduled before flush_workqueue is called. 2) No more I/Os are being issued. 3) Re-attempted READs can still be handled. (Write completions are handled through rh_dec/ write_callback - mention above - and do not use queue_bio.)

This patch adds the calls to 'fail_mirror' if an error occurs during mirror recovery (aka resynchronization). 'fail_mirror' is responsible for recording the type of error by mirror device and ensuring an event gets raised for the purpose of notifying userspace.

This patch gives mirror the ability to handle device failures during normal write operations. The 'write_callback' function is called when a write completes. If all the writes failed or succeeded, we report failure or success respectively. If some of the writes failed, we call fail_mirror; which increments the error count for the device, notes the type of error encountered (DM_RAID1_WRITE_ERROR), and selects a new primary (if necessary). Note that the primary device can never change while the mirror is not in-sync (IOW, while recovery is happening.) This means that the scenario where a failed write changes the primary and gives recovery_complete a chance to misread the primary never happens. The fact that the primary can change has necessitated the change to the default_mirror field. We need to protect against reading garbage while the primary changes. We then add the bio to a new list in the mirror set, 'failures'. For every bio in the 'failures' list, we call a new function, '__bio_mark_nosync', where we mark the region 'not-in-sync' in the log and properly set the region state as, RH_NOSYNC. Userspace must also be notified of the failure. This is done by 'raising an event' (dm_table_event()). If fail_mirror is called in process context the event can be raised right away. If in interrupt context, the event is deferred to the kmirrord thread - which raises the event if 'event_waiting' is set. Backwards compatibility is maintained by ignoring errors if the DM_FEATURES_HANDLE_ERRORS flag is not present.

This patch adds additional information to the status line. It is added at the end of the returned text so it will not interfere with existing implementations using this data. The addition of this information will allow for a common return interface to match that returned with the dm-raid1.c status line (with Jonathan Brassow's patches). Here is a sample of what is returned with a mirror "status" call: isw_eeaaabgfg_mirror: 0 488390920 mirror 2 8:16 8:32 3727/3727 1 AA 1 core Here's what's returned with this patch for a stripe "status" call: isw_dheeijjdej_stripe: 0 976783872 striped 2 8:16 8:32 1 AA Signed-off-by: Brian Wood <brian.j.wood@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>

This patch adds the stripe_end_io function to process errors that might occur after an IO operation. As part of this there are a number of enhancements made to record and trigger events: - New atomic variable in struct stripe to record the number of errors each stripe volume device has experienced (could be used later with uevents to report back directly to userspace) - New workqueue/work struct setup to process the trigger_event function - New end_io function. It is here that testing for BIO error conditions take place. It determines the exact stripe that cause the error, records this in the new atomic variable, and calls the queue_work() function - New trigger_event function to process failure events. This calls dm_table_event() Signed-off-by: Brian Wood <brian.j.wood@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
