Subject: [PATCHv2 00/26] Userspace-RCU for config accesses
Date: Mon,  4 Jul 2016 09:08:20 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1467616126-10036-1-git-send-email-hare@suse.de> (raw)

Hi all,

as Benjamin Marzinski pointed out the 'config' structure is
not protected, but it will be re-allocated whenever we do a
reconfiguration.
This leads to inevitable race conditions, which ATM are only
imperfectly handled.
With this patchset accesses to the configuration are RCU-protected,
so we are guaranteed that the pointer to the configuration is always
valid.
To facilitate this the patchset moves the 'cmd', 'dev', and 'dev_type'
entries out of the configuration, and replaces them with local variables
in multipath.

Changes to the original version:
- Fixup arguments for get_mpe_wwid() and find_mpe() as
  found by Ben Marzinski
- Revert to original handling in get_state() as found
  by Ben Marzinski

The patchset can be found at

github.com:/hreinecke/multipath-tools.git
branch rcu.v2

As usual, comments and reviews are welcome.

Hannes Reinecke (26):
  Revert patch 'move filter_devnode() under vector lock'
  Use 'mptable' as argument for find_mpe() and get_mpe_wwid()
  config: set 'deferred_remove' defaults at correct call
  devmapper: explicit config settings
  dmparser: use 'is_daemon' as argument for disassemble_map()
  libmultipath: use 'is_daemon' as argument for domap() etc
  libmultipath: drop 'daemon' configuration setting
  libmultipath: Do not access 'conf->cmd' in domap()
  libmultipath: add 'cmd' as argument for get_refwwid()
  libmultipath: fallback to checking environment variable in
    get_udev_uid()
  multipath: make 'cmd' internal to multipath program
  multipath: make 'dev_type' internal to the multipath program
  multipath: make 'dev' internal to the multipath program
  libmultipath: separate out 'udev' config entry
  libmultipath: use 'checkint' as argument for sysfs_set_scsi_tmo()
  discovery: Pass in 'hwtable' for get_state() and
    scsi_sysfs_discovery()
  libmultipath: use 'struct config' as argument for pathinfo()
  checkers: use 'multipath_dir' as argument
  prio: use 'multipath_dir' as argument
  libmultipath: use 'timeout' as argument for getprio()
  libmultipath: use explicit 'config' argument for configuration file
    parsing
  libmultipath: use (get,put)_multipath_config() accessors
  multipathd: Fixup commandline argument handling
  multipath: make 'struct config' a local variable
  multipathd: use userspace RCU to access configuration
  libmultipath: Allocate keywords directly
