[PATCH v11] Add cli and ioctl to forget scanned device(s)

[PATCH v11] Add cli and ioctl to forget scanned device(s)

[Anand Jain]

v11:
 btrfs-progs: Bring the code into the else part of if(forget).
	      Use strerror to print the erorr instead of ret.

v10:
 Make btrfs-progs changes more readable.
 With an effort to keep the known bug [1] as it is..
  [1]
   The cli 'btrfs device scan --all /dev/sdb' which should have scanned
    only one device, ends up scanning all the devices and I am not trying
    to fix this bug in this patch because..
  . -d|--all is marked as deprecated, I hope -d option would go away
  . For now some script might be using this bug as a feature, and fixing
    this bug might lead to mount failure.

v9:
 Make forget as a btrfs device scan option.
 Use forget in the fstests, now you can run fstests with btrfs as rootfs
  which helps to exercise the uuid_mutex lock.

v8:
 Change log update in the kernel patch.

v7:
 Use struct btrfs_ioctl_vol_args (instead of struct
  btrfs_ioctl_vol_args_v2) as its inline with other ioctl
  btrfs-control
 The CLI usage/features remains same. However internally the ioctl flag
  is not required to delete all the unmounted devices. Instead leave
  btrfs_ioctl_vol_args::name NULL.

v6:
 Use the changed fn name btrfs_free_stale_devices().

 Change in title:
 Old v5:
 Cover-letter:
  [PATCH v5] Add cli and ioctl to ignore a scanned device
 Kernel:
  [PATCH v5] btrfs: introduce feature to ignore a btrfs device
 Progs:
  [PATCH v5] btrfs-progs: add 'btrfs device ignore' cli

v5:
  Adds feature to delete all stale devices
  Reuses btrfs_free_stale_devices() fn and so depends on the
    patch-set [1] in the ML.
  Uses struct btrfs_ioctl_vol_args_v2 instead of
    struct btrfs_ioctl_vol_args as arg
  Does the device path matching instead of btrfs_device matching
    (we won't delete the mounted device as btrfs_free_stale_devices()
    checks for it)
v4:
  No change. But as the ML thread may be confusing, so resend.
v3:
  No change. Send to correct ML.
v2:
  Accepts review from Nikolay, details are in the specific patch.
  Patch 1/2 is renamed from
    [PATCH 1/2] btrfs: refactor btrfs_free_stale_device() to get device list delete
  to
    [PATCH 1/2] btrfs: add function to device list delete

Adds cli and ioctl to forget a scanned device or forget all stale
devices in the kernel.

[PATCH] btrfs: introduce feature to forget a btrfs device

[Anand Jain]

Support for a new command 'btrfs dev forget [dev]' is proposed here
to undo the effects of 'btrfs dev scan [dev]'. For this purpose
this patch proposes to use ioctl #5 as it was empty.
	IOW(BTRFS_IOCTL_MAGIC, 5, ..)
This patch adds new ioctl BTRFS_IOC_FORGET_DEV which can be sent from
the /dev/btrfs-control to forget one or all devices, (devices which are
not mounted) from the btrfs kernel.

The argument it takes is struct btrfs_ioctl_vol_args, and ::name can be
set to specify the device path. And all unmounted devices can be removed
from the kernel if no device path is provided.

Again, the devices are removed only if the relevant fsid aren't mounted.

This new cli can provide..
 . Release of unwanted btrfs_fs_devices and btrfs_devices memory if the
   device is not going to be mounted.
 . Ability to mount the device in degraded mode when one of the other
   device is corrupted like in split brain raid1.
 . Running test cases which requires btrfs.ko-reload if the rootfs
   is btrfs.

[PATCH] btrfs-progs: add cli to forget one or all scanned devices

[Anand Jain]

This patch adds cli
  btrfs device forget [dev]
to remove the given device structure in the kernel if the device
is unmounted. If no argument is given it shall remove all stale
(device which are not mounted) from the kernel.

In fact that's a problem for the entire use of vol->name in
btrfs_control_ioctl. The name's last byte should be set to '\0' to
avoid issues.
I'll send a fix for that, so if David fixes the white spaces on commit
there's no need for a v12.

One space before : and another one after it please.

Now the more important: don't use strlen, use strnlen. Some malicious
or sloppy user might have passed a non-null terminated string, you
don't want strlen to go past the limits of btrfs_ioctl_vol_args for
obvious reasons.

Also, please, not just to make a maintainer's life easier, but current
and future reviewers, add the patch version to each patch's subject
and not just the cover letter. Also list (after ---) what changes
between each patch version in the patch itself and not the cover
letter.

V12, here we go.

[PATCH] btrfs: introduce feature to forget a btrfs device

[Anand Jain]

Support for a new command 'btrfs dev forget [dev]' is proposed here
to undo the effects of 'btrfs dev scan [dev]'. For this purpose
this patch proposes to use ioctl #5 as it was empty.
	IOW(BTRFS_IOCTL_MAGIC, 5, ..)
This patch adds new ioctl BTRFS_IOC_FORGET_DEV which can be sent from
the /dev/btrfs-control to forget one or all devices, (devices which are
not mounted) from the btrfs kernel.

The argument it takes is struct btrfs_ioctl_vol_args, and ::name can be
set to specify the device path. And all unmounted devices can be removed
from the kernel if no device path is provided.

Again, the devices are removed only if the relevant fsid aren't mounted.

This new cli can provide..
 . Release of unwanted btrfs_fs_devices and btrfs_devices memory if the
   device is not going to be mounted.
 . Ability to mount the device in degraded mode when one of the other
   device is corrupted like in split brain raid1.
 . Running test cases which requires btrfs.ko-reload if the rootfs
   is btrfs.

That won't work. btrfs_free_stalce_devices() expects the pointer to be 
NULL. User space has zeroed the name which is char array and its pointer 
is not NULL.

Checking the len of path is redundant since userspace will pass a zeroed
struct which will be NULL in any case. Additionally in
btrfs_free_stalce_devices there is existing check whether path is set or
not.

[PATCH] btrfs: introduce feature to forget a btrfs device

[Anand Jain]

Support for a new command 'btrfs dev forget [dev]' is proposed here
to undo the effects of 'btrfs dev scan [dev]'. For this purpose
this patch proposes to use ioctl #5 as it was empty.
	IOW(BTRFS_IOCTL_MAGIC, 5, ..)
This patch adds new ioctl BTRFS_IOC_FORGET_DEV which can be sent from
the /dev/btrfs-control to forget one or all devices, (devices which are
not mounted) from the btrfs kernel.

The argument it takes is struct btrfs_ioctl_vol_args, and ::name can be
set to specify the device path. And all unmounted devices can be removed
from the kernel if no device path is provided.

Again, the devices are removed only if the relevant fsid aren't mounted.

This new cli can provide..
 . Release of unwanted btrfs_fs_devices and btrfs_devices memory if the
   device is not going to be mounted.
 . Ability to mount the device in degraded mode when one of the other
   device is corrupted like in split brain raid1.
 . Running test cases which requires btrfs.ko-reload if the rootfs
   is btrfs.

  There are few reasons..
  . Release of unwanted btrfs_fs_devices and btrfs_devices memory if the
    device is not going to be mounted.
  . Ability to mount the device in degraded mode when one of the other
    device is corrupted (patch [1] in the ML explained this).
      [1] btrfs: handle volume split brain scenario
  . Running test cases which requires btrfs.ko-reload if the rootfs
    is btrfs.

Thanks, Anand

And why is the feature needed? What problems does it solve?
That is missing from the changelog, no matter how obvious it is to you
(or anyone else), it should be mentioned in the changelog.

[PATCH] btrfs: introduce feature to forget a btrfs device

[Anand Jain]

Support for a new command 'btrfs dev forget [dev]' is proposed here,
to undo the effects of 'btrfs dev scan [dev]'. For this purpose,
this patch proposes to use ioctl #5 as it was empty.
	IOW(BTRFS_IOCTL_MAGIC, 5, ..)
This patch adds new ioctl BTRFS_IOC_FORGET_DEV which can be sent from
the /dev/btrfs-control to forget one or all devices, (devices which are
not mounted) from the btrfs kernel.

The argument it takes is struct btrfs_ioctl_vol_args, and ::name can be
set to specify the device path. And all unmounted devices can be removed
from the kernel if no device path is provided.

Again, the devices are removed only if the relevant fsid aren't mounted.
