When the lock master processes a successful operation (request, convert, cancel, or unlock), it will process the effects of the change before sending the reply for the operation. The "effects" of the operation are: - blocking callbacks (basts) for any newly granted locks - waiting or converting locks that can now be granted The cast is queued on the local node when the reply from the lock master is received. This means that a lock holder can receive a bast for a lock mode that is doesn't yet know has been granted. Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com>

When both blocking and completion callbacks are queued for lock, the dlm would always deliver the completion callback (cast) first. In some cases the blocking callback (bast) is queued before the cast, though, and should be delivered first. This patch keeps track of the order in which they were queued and delivers them in that order. This patch also keeps track of the granted mode in the last cast and eliminates the following bast if the bast mode is compatible with the preceding cast mode. This happens when a remotely mastered lock is demoted, e.g. EX->NL, in which case the local node queues a cast immediately after sending the demote message. In this way a cast can be queued for a mode, e.g. NL, that makes an in-transit bast extraneous. Signed-off-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com>

When controlling an industrial radio modem it can be necessary to manipulate the handshake lines in order to control the radio modem's transmitter, from userspace. The transmitter should not be turned off before all characters have been transmitted. serial8250_tx_empty() was reporting that all characters were transmitted before they actually were. === Discovered in parallel with more testing and analysis by Kees Schoenmakers as follows: I ran into an NetMos 9835 serial pci board which behaves a little different than the standard. This type of expansion board is very common. "Standard" 8250 compatible devices clear the 'UART_LST_TEMT" bit together with the "UART_LSR_THRE" bit when writing data to the device. The NetMos device does it slightly different I believe that the TEMT bit is coupled to the shift register. The problem is that after writing data to the device and very quickly after that one does call serial8250_tx_empty, it returns the wrong information. My patch makes the test more robust (and solves the problem) and it does not affect the already correct devices. Alan: We may yet need to quirk this but now we know which chips we have a way to do that should we find this breaks some other 8250 clone with dodgy THRE.

There is currently a bug in sysfs_sd_setattr inherited from sysfs_setattr in 2.6.32 where the first time we set the attributes on a sysfs file we allocate backing store but do not set the backing store attributes. Resulting in overly restrictive permissions on sysfs files. The fix is to simply modify the code so that it always executes when we update the sysfs attributes, as we did in 2.6.31 and earlier.

I notice that the processcompl_compat() function seems to be leaking the 'struct async *as' in the error paths. I think that the calling convention is fundamentally buggered. The caller is the one that did the "reap_as()" to get the as thing, the caller should be the one to free it too. Freeing it in the caller also means that it very clearly always gets freed, and avoids the need for any "free in the error case too".

This patch fixes the problem that system may stall if target's ->map_rq returns DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE in map_request(). E.g. stall happens on 1 CPU box when a dm-mpath device with queue_if_no_path bounces between all-paths-down and paths-up on I/O load. When target's ->map_rq returns DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE, map_request() requeues the request and returns to dm_request_fn(). Then, dm_request_fn() doesn't exit the I/O dispatching loop and continues processing the requeued request again. This map and requeue loop can be done with interrupt disabled, so 1 CPU system can be stalled if this situation happens. For example, commands below can stall my 1 CPU box within 1 minute or so: # dmsetup table mp mp: 0 2097152 multipath 1 queue_if_no_path 0 1 1 service-time 0 1 2 8:144 1 1 # while true; do dd if=/dev/mapper/mp of=/dev/null bs=1M count=100; done & # while true; do \ > dmsetup message mp 0 "fail_path 8:144" \ > dmsetup suspend --noflush mp \ > dmsetup resume mp \ > dmsetup message mp 0 "reinstate_path 8:144" \ > done To fix the problem above, this patch changes dm_request_fn() to exit the I/O dispatching loop once if a request is requeued in map_request().

When recovery_complete() is executed between dm_rh_update_states() and dm_writes() in do_mirror(), bios are processed with the region state, DM_RH_NOSYNC. However, the region data is freed without checking its pending count when dm_rh_update_states() is called next time. When bios are finished by mirror_end_io(), __rh_lookup() in dm_rh_dec() returns NULL even though a valid return value are expected. Solution Remove the state change of the recovery failed region from DM_RH_RECOVERING to DM_RH_NOSYNC in dm_rh_recovery_end(). We can remove the state change because: - If the region data has been released by dm_rh_update_states(), a new region data is created with the state of DM_RH_NOSYNC, and bios are processed according to the DM_RH_NOSYNC state. - If the region data has not been released by dm_rh_update_states(), a state of the region is DM_RH_RECOVERING and bios are put in the delayed_bio list. The flag change from DM_RH_RECOVERING to DM_RH_NOSYNC in dm_rh_recovery_end() was added in the following commit: dm raid1: handle resync failures author Jonathan Brassow <jbrassow@redhat.com> Thu, 12 Jul 2007 16:29:04 +0000 (17:29 +0100) http://git.kernel.org/linus/f44db678edcc6f4c2779ac43f63f0b9dfa28b724Signed-off-by: Takahiro Yasui <tyasui@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>

If the mirror log fails when the handle_errors option was not selected and there is no remaining valid mirror leg, writes return success even though they weren't actually written to any device. This patch completes them with EIO instead. This code path is taken: do_writes: bio_list_merge(&ms->failures, &sync); do_failures: if (!get_valid_mirror(ms)) (false) else if (errors_handled(ms)) (false) else bio_endio(bio, 0); The logic in do_failures is based on presuming that the write was already tried: if it succeeded at least on one leg (without handle_errors) it is reported as success.

This patch fixes two bugs that revolve around the miscalculation and misuse of the variable 'overhead_size'. 'overhead_size' is the size of the various header structures used during communication. The first bug is the use of 'sizeof' with the pointer of a structure instead of the structure itself - resulting in the wrong size being computed. This is then used in a check to see if the payload (data_size) would be to large for the preallocated structure. Since the bug produces a smaller value for the overhead, it was possible for the structure to be breached. (Although the current users of the code do not currently send enough data to trigger this bug.) The second bug is that the 'overhead_size' value is used to compute how much of the preallocated space should be cleared before populating it with fresh data. This should have simply been 'sizeof(struct cn_msg)' not overhead_size. The fact that 'overhead_size' was computed incorrectly made this problem "less bad" - leaving only a pointer's worth of space at the end uncleared. Thus, this bug was never producing a bad result, but still needs to be fixed - especially now that the value is computed correctly.
