Hi,

I just rebased and tweaked these 4 patches ontop of v5.12-rc7.

Been carrying an older ~5.9 based version in RHEL8 (since RHEL8.3,
August 2020; yes the patchset I just mistakenly emailed instead of
this patchset):
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm.git/log/?h=nvme-error-handling-fixes/for-5.9

RHEL9 is coming, would really prefer that these changes land upstream
rather than carry them within RHEL.

All review/feedback welcome.

Thanks,
Mike

If the DNR bit is set we should not retry the command.

We care about the retryable vs not retryable distinction at the block
layer so propagate the equivalent of the DNR bit by introducing
BLK_STS_DO_NOT_RETRY. Update blk_path_error() to _not_ retry if it
is set.

This change runs with the suggestion made here:

From: Chao Leng <lengchao@huawei.com>

REQ_FAILFAST_TRANSPORT was designed for SCSI, because the SCSI protocol
does not define the local retry mechanism. SCSI implements a fuzzy
local retry mechanism, so REQ_FAILFAST_TRANSPORT is needed to allow
higher-level multipathing software to perform failover/retry.

NVMe is different with SCSI about this. It defines a local retry
mechanism and path error codes, so NVMe should retry local for non
path error. If path related error, whether to retry and how to retry
is still determined by higher-level multipathing's failover.

Unlike SCSI, NVMe shouldn't prevent retry if REQ_FAILFAST_TRANSPORT
because NVMe's local retry is needed -- as is NVMe specific logic to
categorize whether an error is path related.

In this way, the mechanism of NVMe multipath or other multipath are
now equivalent. The mechanism is: non path related error will be
retried locally, path related error is handled by multipath.

If REQ_FAILFAST_TRANSPORT is set it means the driver should not retry
IO that completed with transport errors. REQ_FAILFAST_TRANSPORT is
set by multipathing software (e.g. dm-multipath) before it issues IO.

Update NVMe to allow failover of requests marked with either
REQ_NVME_MPATH or REQ_FAILFAST_TRANSPORT. This allows such requests
to be given a disposition of either FAILOVER or FAILUP respectively.
FAILUP handling ensures a retryable error is returned up from NVMe.

Introduce nvme_failup_req() for use in nvme_complete_rq() if
nvme_decide_disposition() returns FAILUP. nvme_failup_req() ensures
the request is completed with a retryable IO error when appropriate.
__nvme_end_req() was factored out for use by both nvme_end_req() and
nvme_failup_req().

Whether or not ANA is present is a choice of the target implementation;
the host (and whether it supports multipathing) has _zero_ influence on
this. If the target declares a path as 'inaccessible' the path _is_
inaccessible to the host. As such, ANA support should be functional
even if native multipathing is not.

Introduce ability to always re-read ANA log page as required due to ANA
error and make current ANA state available via sysfs -- even if native
multipathing is disabled on the host (e.g. nvme_core.multipath=N).
This is achieved by factoring out nvme_update_ana() and calling it in
nvme_complete_rq() for all FAILOVER requests.

This affords userspace access to the current ANA state independent of
which layer might be doing multipathing. This makes 'nvme list-subsys'
show ANA state for all NVMe subsystems with multiple controllers. It
also allows userspace multipath-tools to rely on the NVMe driver for
ANA support while dm-multipath takes care of multipathing.

And as always, if embedded NVMe users do not want any performance
overhead associated with ANA or native NVMe multipathing they can
disable CONFIG_NVME_MULTIPATH.

Huh?

#define blk_noretry_request(rq) \
        ((rq)->cmd_flags & (REQ_FAILFAST_DEV|REQ_FAILFAST_TRANSPORT| \
                             REQ_FAILFAST_DRIVER))

making the only _actual_ change in your patch _not_ evaluating the
REQ_FAILFAST_DRIVER, which incidentally is only used by the NVMe core.
So what is it you're trying to solve?

Cheers,

Hannes

Hmm. Quite convoluted, methinks.
Shouldn't this achieve the same thing?

No, not sure how you got there. I'd have thought the 5 references to
"REQ_FAILFAST_TRANSPORT" would've been sufficient ;)

This patch makes it so requests marked with REQ_FAILFAST_TRANSPORT are
allowed to use NVMe's local retry (that is required for non-transport
errors).

> So what is it you're trying to solve?

What the patch header, code and code comment detail.

Maybe you didn't read the header or patch?

I'm cool with critical review when it is clear the reviewer fully
understands the patch but... ;)

Definitely won't achieve the same. And especially not with patch 1/4
("nvme: return BLK_STS_DO_NOT_RETRY if the DNR bit is set") that you
gave your Reviewed-by to earlier.

Instead of "FAILUP", I thought about using "FAILUP_AND_OVER" to convey
that this is a variant of failover.  Meaning it takes the same patch as
nvme "FAILOVER" until the very end; where it does REQ_FAILFAST_TRANSPORT
specific work detailed in nvme_failup_req().

And then patch 4/4 makes further use of nvme_failup_req() by adding a
call to the factored out nvme_update_ana().

Ah. Misread stuff. You're excluding the REQ_FAILFAST_TRANSPORT here.
But then it's _actually_ similar to the next patch (which I've also
commented).

Wouldn't it be better to fold them into one patch and discuss things
together; especially as my comment to the next one might actually
achieve the same thing?

Cheers,

2 discrete things. This patch enables local retry.
Patch 3 allows proper failover via upper layer multipathing.

And as I replied, your suggestion about using DNR doesn't achieve the
same thing (said as much in reply to the patch 3 thread).

All very intricate; will need to check the patches in their combined
version.
Not deliberately stalling, mind you, just wanting to figure out what the
net result will be.

I am not in favor of altering ->status to set DNR jus to
simplify the following conditional.

It seems like adding __nvme_end_req() was unnecessary, since
nvme_end_req() just calls it and does nothing else?

The __nvme_end_req helper allowed the status to be passed in, making it
easy to override status for unlikley edge-case where the BLK_STS is
!blk_path_error() but should be given nvme_is_path_error() returned
true.

Anyway, I can avoid the need to factor out __nvme_end_req() and just:
  nvme_req(req)->status = NVME_SC_HOST_PATH_ERROR;
  nvme_end_req(req);

Thanks,
Mike
