[PATCH v2 0/6] avoid repeated request completion and IO error

[PATCH v2 0/6] avoid repeated request completion and IO error

[Chao Leng]

First avoid repeated request completion for nvmf_fail_nonready_command.
Second avoid IO error and repeated request completion for queue_rq.

V2:
	- use "switch" instead "if" to check return status
	
Chao Leng (6):
  blk-mq: introduce blk_mq_set_request_complete
  nvme-core: introduce complete failed request
  nvme-fabrics: avoid repeated request completion for
    nvmf_fail_nonready_command
  nvme-rdma: avoid IO error and repeated request completion
  nvme-tcp: avoid IO error and repeated request completion
  nvme-fc: avoid IO error and repeated request completion

[PATCH v2 1/6] blk-mq: introduce blk_mq_set_request_complete

[Chao Leng]

In some scenarios, nvme need setting the state of request to
MQ_RQ_COMPLETE. So add an inline function blk_mq_set_request_complete.
For details, see the subsequent patches.

[Chao Leng]

The request may be completed with NVME_SC_HOST_PATH_ERROR in
nvmf_fail_nonready_command. The state of request will be changed to
MQ_RQ_IN_FLIGHT before call nvme_complete_rq. If free the request
asynchronously such as in nvme_submit_user_cmd, in extreme scenario
the request will be repeated freed in tear down.
Nvmf_fail_nonready_command do not need calling blk_mq_start_request
before complete the request. Nvmf_fail_nonready_command should set
the state of request to MQ_RQ_COMPLETE before complete the request.

[PATCH v2 4/6] nvme-rdma: avoid IO error and repeated request completion

[Chao Leng]

When a request is queued failed, blk_status_t is directly returned
to the blk-mq. If blk_status_t is not BLK_STS_RESOURCE,
BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE, BLK_STS_ZONE_RESOURCE, blk-mq call
blk_mq_end_request to complete the request with BLK_STS_IOERR.
In two scenarios, the request should be retried and may succeed.
First, if work with nvme multipath, the request may be retried
successfully in another path, because the error is probably related to
the path. Second, if work without multipath software, the request may
be retried successfully after error recovery.
If the request is complete with BLK_STS_IOERR in blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list.
The state of request may be changed to MQ_RQ_IN_FLIGHT. If free the
request asynchronously such as in nvme_submit_user_cmd, in extreme
scenario the request will be repeated freed in tear down.
If a non-resource error occurs in queue_rq, should directly call
nvme_complete_rq to complete request and set the state of request to
MQ_RQ_COMPLETE. nvme_complete_rq will decide to retry, fail over or end
the request.

Maybe this is me chiming in v2, but what is this fixing? what
is the bug you are seeing?

I don't understand this. There are errors that may not be related to
anything that is pathing related (sw bug, memory leak, mapping error,
etc, etc) why should we return this one-shot error?

First inject request time out, crash happens due to request double
completion, the probability is very low. The reason: we will do error
recovery for request time out. When error recovery, new request will
be completed by nvmf_fail_nonready_command in queue_rq, the state of
the request will be changed to MQ_RQ_IN_FLIGHT, the request is freed
asynchronously in nvme_submit_user_cmd, nvme_submit_user_cmd may
run after cancel request(the state of the request is MQ_RQ_IN_FLIGHT)
in error recovery. The request will be double completion.

Second use two HBAs for nvme native multipath, and then inject one HBA
fault, io error happens and a low probability crash happens. The reason
of io error is the blk_status_t of queue_rq is BLK_STS_IOERR, blk-mq
call blk_mq_end_request to complete the request. We expect the request
fail over to normal HBA, but the request is directly completed with
BLK_STS_IOERR. The reason of crash is similar to the first scenario.

Although fail over retry is not required, if we return the error to
blk-mq, a low probability crash may happen. because blk-mq do not set
the state of request to MQ_RQ_COMPLETE before complete the request,
the request may be freed asynchronously such as in nvme_submit_user_cmd.
If race with error recovery, request double completion may happens.

So we can not return the error to blk-mq if the blk_status_t is not
BLK_STS_RESOURCE, BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE, BLK_STS_ZONE_RESOURCE.

This is not something we should be handling in nvme. block drivers
should be able to fail queue_rq, and this all should live in the

Of course, it is also an idea to repair the block drivers directly.
However, block layer is unaware of nvme native multipathing, will cause
the request return error which should be avoided.
The scenario: use two HBAs for nvme native multipath, and then one HBA
fault, the blk_status_t of queue_rq is BLK_STS_IOERR, blk-mq will call
blk_mq_end_request to complete the request which bypass name native
multipath. We expect the request fail over to normal HBA, but the request
is directly completed with BLK_STS_IOERR.
The two scenarios can be fixed by directly completing the request in queue_rq.

Well, certainly this one-shot always return 0 and complete the command

Although fail over for only path related errors is the best choice, it's
almost impossible to achieve.
The probability of non-path-related errors is very low. Although these
errors do not require fail over retry, the cost of fail over retry
is complete the request with error delay a bit long time(retry several
times). It's not the best choice, but I think it's acceptable, because
HBA driver does not have path-related error codes but only general error
codes. It is difficult to identify whether the general error codes are
path-related.

The path related error code is closely related to HBA driver
implementation. In general it is EIO. I don't think it's a good idea to
assume what general error code the driver returns in the event of a path
error.

So what's the better option? Just complete the request with host path
error for non-ENOMEM and EAGAIN returned by the HBA driver?

If we have a SW bug or breakage that can happen occasionally, this can
result in a constant failover rather than a simple failure. This is just
not a good approach IMO.

But assuming every error is a path error a good idea?

Well, the correct thing to do here would be to clone the bio and
failover if the end_io error status is BLK_STS_IOERR. That sucks
because it adds overhead, but this proposal doesn't sit well. it
looks wrong to me.

Alternatively, a more creative idea would be to encode the error
status somehow in the cookie returned from submit_bio, but that
also feels like a small(er) hack..

Of course not, according to the old code logic, assuming !ENOMEM && !EAGIAN
for HBA drivers is a path error. I think it might be reasonable.

If HBA drivers return !ENOMEM && !EAGIAN, queue_rq Directly call
nvme_complete_rq with NVME_SC_HOST_PATH_ERROR like
nvmf_fail_nonready_command. nvme_complete_rq will decide to retry,
fail over or end the request. This may not be the best, but there seems
to be no better choice.
I will try to send the patch v2.

This is not correct.
HOST_PATH_ERROR only should be set _iff_ it is a pathing issue, and the 
HBA/transport is equipped to determine that.
Any other error have other causes, and we need to look at the individual 
error codes (and situations) to determine if this really is a pathing error.
