RAID/block regression starting from 2.6.32, bisected

RAID/block regression starting from 2.6.32, bisected

[Vladislav Bolkhovitin]

Hello,

In recent kernels we are experiencing a problem that in our setup using SCST BLOCKIO backend some BIOs are finished, i.e. the finish callback called for them, with error -EIO. It happens quite often, much more often than one would expect to have an actual IO error. (BLOCKIO backend just converts all incoming SCSI commands to the corresponding block requests.)

After some investigation, we figured out, that, most likely, raid5.c::make_request() for some reason sometimes calls bio_endio() with not BIO_UPTODATE bios.

We bisected it to commit: 

commit a82afdfcb8c0df09776b6458af6b68fc58b2e87b
Author: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

    block: use the same failfast bits for bio and request
    
    bio and request use the same set of failfast bits.  This patch makes
    the following changes to simplify things.
    
    * enumify BIO_RW* bits and reorder bits such that BIOS_RW_FAILFAST_*
      bits coincide with __REQ_FAILFAST_* bits.
    
    * The above pushes BIO_RW_AHEAD out of sync with __REQ_FAILFAST_DEV
      but the matching is useless anyway.  init_request_from_bio() is
      responsible for setting FAILFAST bits on FS requests and non-FS
      requests never use BIO_RW_AHEAD.  Drop the code and comment from
      blk_rq_bio_prep().
    
    * Define REQ_FAILFAST_MASK which is OR of all FAILFAST bits and
      simplify FAILFAST flags handling in init_request_from_bio().

After looking at it I can't see how it can lead to the effect we are experiencing. Could anybody comment on this, please? Is it a known problem?

The error can be only reproduced when running RAID 5. The general layout is:

Disks --> RAID5 --> LVM --> BLOCKIO VDISK

The problem is easy to reproduce by forcing the RAID 5 array to re-sync its members, eg just fail out one member and add it back into the array and then generate some IO using dd. In fact, just writing out to the partition table on the exported block device is usually enough to provoke the error.

The complete thread about the topic you can find in http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=20100727220110.GF31152%40atlantis.cc.ndsu.nodak.edu&forum_name=scst-devel

If any additional information is needed we would be glad to provide it.

Thanks,
Vlad

That commit doesn't (or at least isn't supposed to) make any behavior
difference.  It's just repositioning flag bits.  If the commit is
actually causing the problem, I think one possibility is that whatever
code could be using hard coded constants which now are mapped to
different flags.  The mixed merge changes have been in mainline for
quite some time and shipping in all major distros too and this is the
first time this is reported, so I don't think it could be a widespread
problem.

Thanks.

The problem is that md/raid5 tests bio->bi_rw against RWA_MASK, which used to
align with BIO_RW_AHEAD, and now doesn't.
However the definition of bio_rw() in fs.h seems to justify that RWA_MASK
should align with BIO_RW_AHEAD, as does the definition of READA.

Given the current definitions, any WRITE request with BIO_RW_FAILFAST_DEV
set is going to confused a number of drives which test
     bio_rw(bio) == WRITE

I guess RWA_MASK needs to be changed to (1<<BIO_RW_AHEAD), and READA need to
be change to that value too.

Can I leave that to you Tejun?

Thanks,
NeilBrown

[PATCH 1/2 block#for-linus] bio, fs: update READA and SWRITE to match the corresponding BIO_RW_* bits

[Tejun Heo]

Commit a82afdf (block: use the same failfast bits for bio and request)
moved BIO_RW_* bits around such that they match up with REQ_* bits.
Unfortunately, fs.h hard coded READ, WRITE, READA and SWRITE as 0, 1,
2 and 3, and expected them to match with BIO_RW_* bits.  READ/WRITE
didn't change but BIO_RW_AHEAD was moved to bit 4 instead of bit 1,
breaking READA and SWRITE.

This patch updates READA and SWRITE such that they match the BIO_RW_*
bits again.  A follow up patch will update the definitions to directly
use BIO_RW_* bits so that this kind of breakage won't happen again.

Stable: The offending commit a82afdf was released with v2.6.32, so
this patch should be applied to all kernels since then but it must
_NOT_ be applied to kernels earlier than that.

Aieee... thanks for root causing it Neil.  That was a stupid bug.  I
knew that READ/WRITE were hardcoded but forgot about READA.  :-(
Moving BIO_RW_AHEAD back to bit 1 might be a better solution but I'm
afraid that would cause more confusions downstream.  This patch
updates READA and SWRITE to match BIO_RW_AHEAD and should also appear
in -stable releases.  The next patch will create bio_types.h and
define all constants in terms of BIO_RW_*.

Thanks.

[PATCH 2/2 block#for-linus] bio, fs: separate out bio_types.h and define READ/WRITE constants in terms of BIO_RW_* flags

[Tejun Heo]

linux/fs.h hard coded READ/WRITE constants which should match BIO_RW_*
flags.  This is fragile and caused breakage during BIO_RW_* flag
rearrangement.  The hardcoding is to avoid include dependency hell.

Create linux/bio_types.h which contatins definitions for bio data
structures and flags and include it from bio.h and fs.h, and make fs.h
define all READ/WRITE related constants in terms of BIO_RW_* flags.

didn't change but BIO_RW_AHEAD was moved to bit 4 instead of bit 1,
breaking READA and SWRITE.

This patch updates READA and SWRITE such that they match the BIO_RW_*
bits again.  A follow up patch will update the definitions to directly
use BIO_RW_* bits so that this kind of breakage won't happen again.

Stable: The offending commit a82afdf was released with v2.6.32, so
this patch should be applied to all kernels since then but it must
_NOT_ be applied to kernels earlier than that.

Aieee... thanks for root causing it Neil.  That was a stupid bug.  I
knew that READ/WRITE were hardcoded but forgot about READA.  :-(
Moving BIO_RW_AHEAD back to bit 1 might be a better solution but I'm
afraid that would cause more confusions downstream.  This patch
updates READA and SWRITE to match BIO_RW_AHEAD and should also appear
in -stable releases.  The next patch will create bio_types.h and
define all constants in terms of BIO_RW_*.

Thanks.

[PATCH RESEND 1/2 block#for-linus] bio, fs: update READA and SWRITE to match the corresponding BIO_RW_* bits

[Tejun Heo]

Commit a82afdf (block: use the same failfast bits for bio and request)
moved BIO_RW_* bits around such that they match up with REQ_* bits.
Unfortunately, fs.h hard coded READ, WRITE, READA and SWRITE as 0, 1,
2 and 3, and expected them to match with BIO_RW_* bits.  READ/WRITE
didn't change but BIO_RW_AHEAD was moved to bit 4 instead of bit 1,
breaking READA and SWRITE.

This patch updates READA and SWRITE such that they match the BIO_RW_*
bits again.  A follow up patch will update the definitions to directly
use BIO_RW_* bits so that this kind of breakage won't happen again.

Stable: The offending commit a82afdf was released with v2.6.32, so
this patch should be applied to all kernels since then but it must
_NOT_ be applied to kernels earlier than that.

Tejun, care to resend these against for-2.6.36? We can reference
these for the stable backport (at least the first one should go in).

[PATCH 1/2 block#for-2.6.36] bio, fs: update RWA_MASK, READA and SWRITE to match the corresponding BIO_RW_* bits

[Tejun Heo]

Commit a82afdf (block: use the same failfast bits for bio and request)
moved BIO_RW_* bits around such that they match up with REQ_* bits.
Unfortunately, fs.h hard coded RW_MASK, RWA_MASK, READ, WRITE, READA
and SWRITE as 0, 1, 2 and 3, and expected them to match with BIO_RW_*
bits.  READ/WRITE didn't change but BIO_RW_AHEAD was moved to bit 4
instead of bit 1, breaking RWA_MASK, READA and SWRITE.

This patch updates RWA_MASK, READA and SWRITE such that they match the
BIO_RW_* bits again.  A follow up patch will update the definitions to
directly use BIO_RW_* bits so that this kind of breakage won't happen
again.

Neil also spotted missing RWA_MASK conversion.

Stable: The offending commit a82afdf was released with v2.6.32, so
this patch should be applied to all kernels since then but it must
_NOT_ be applied to kernels earlier than that.

Here's the regenerated version also w/ the missing RWA_MASK conversion

[PATCH 2/2 block#for-2.6.36] bio, fs: separate out bio_types.h and define READ/WRITE constants in terms of BIO_RW_* flags

[Tejun Heo]

linux/fs.h hard coded READ/WRITE constants which should match BIO_RW_*
flags.  This is fragile and caused breakage during BIO_RW_* flag
rearrangement.  The hardcoding is to avoid include dependency hell.

Create linux/bio_types.h which contatins definitions for bio data
structures and flags and include it from bio.h and fs.h, and make fs.h
define all READ/WRITE related constants in terms of BIO_RW_* flags.

I renamed the file to blk_types.h instead of bio_types.h as it now
contains the REQ bits too.

Irk, we have an issue:

In file included from fs/coda/psdev.c:48:
include/linux/coda_psdev.h:91:1: warning: "REQ_WRITE" redefined
In file included from include/linux/fs.h:11,
                 from include/linux/proc_fs.h:5,
                 from fs/coda/psdev.c:31:
include/linux/blk_types.h:154:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition

And from include/linux/coda_psdev.h:

#define REQ_ASYNC  0x1
#define REQ_READ   0x2
#define REQ_WRITE  0x4
#define REQ_ABORT  0x8

which unfortunately seem to not be under __KERNEL__ protection, but
there are things like wait_queue_head_t structs there as well so should
be safe to change.

Oops, I'm sorry.  Heh, it reminds me of misspelling Linus's last name
as Tolvards in a number of patches.  :-)

Yeah, I hate it when symbols in non-core code doesn't have proper
prefix.  Prefixing CODA_ in front of those macros should do it.  Jan
Harkes, would that work for CODA?

Thanks.

[PATCH] coda: rename REQ_* to CODA_REQ_*

[Tejun Heo]

REQ_* constants are used for block layer requests causing inconsistent
duplicate definitions of REQ_WRITE.  Rename REQ_* used by coda to
CODA_REQ_*.

Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

So, something like this.  Build tested only.

Thanks.

Should have been clear, I committed the fixup already:

http://git.kernel.dk/?p=linux-2.6-block.git;a=commit;h=ceb1fde0d5c7611fdb9004176ac34140d27e745a

Looks byte-for-byte identical :-)

Would someone be so kind as to remind me how this problem manifests
itself?  I know I read this recently, but my memory and googling skills
are both failing me.  :(

If only this patch goes into stable, do we need to change RWA_MASK in 
this patch also(I have seen you change it the 2/2)?

-#define RWA_MASK        2
+#define RWA_MASK        16

Tao

Yeah, Neil already pointed it out and updated patch has been posted
and merged.

Thanks.

I think RW_MASK and RWA_MASK should simply go away, they don't server
any use over just masking the correct REQ_* flags.
