2013-06-28drbd: Allow online change of al-stripes and al-stripe-sizePhilipp Reisner
Allow to change the AL layout with an resize operation. For that the reisze command gets two new fields: al_stripes and al_stripe_size. In order to make the operation crash save: 1) Lock out all IO and MD-IO 2) Write the super block with MDF_PRIMARY_IND clear 3) write the bitmap to the new location (all zeros, since we allow only while connected) 4) Initialize the new AL-area 5) Write the super block with the restored MDF_PRIMARY_IND. 6) Unfreeze all IO Since the AL-layout has no influence on the protocol, this operation needs to be beforemed on both sides of a resource (if intended).

2013-03-28drbd: validate resync_after dependency on attach alreadyLars Ellenberg
We validated resync_after dependencies, if changed via disk-options. But we did not validate them when first created via attach. We also did not check or cleanup dependencies that used to be correct, but now point to meanwhile removed minor devices. If the drbd_resync_after_valid() validation in disk-options tried to follow a dependency chain in this way, this could lead to NULL pointer dereference. Validate resync_after settings in drbd_adm_attach() already, as well as in drbd_adm_disk_opts(), and and only reject dependency loops. Depending on non-existing disks is allowed and equivalent to no dependency.

2013-03-28drbd: Fix disconnect to keep the peer disk state if connection breaks during ↵Philipp Reisner
operation The issue was that if the connection broke while we did the gracefull state change to C_DISCONNECTING (C_TEARDOWN), then we returned a success code from the state engine. (SS_CW_NO_NEED) The result of that is that we missed to call the fence-peer script in such a case. Fixed that by introducing a new error code (SS_OUTDATE_WO_CONN). This one should never reach back into user space.

2013-03-28drbd: move invalidating the whole bitmap out of after_state ch()Philipp Reisner
To avoid other state change requests, after passing through sanitize_state(), to be mistaken for an invalidate, move the "set all bits as out-of-sync" into the invalidate path. Make invalidate and invalidate-remote behave consistently wrt. current connection state (need either an established replication link, or really be disconnected).

2013-03-22drbd: adjust upper limit for activity log extentsLars Ellenberg
Now that the on-disk activity-log ring buffer size is adjustable, the maximum active set can become larger, and is now limited by the use of 16bit "labels". This increases the maximum working set from 6433 to 65534 extents, each of which covers an area of 4MiB. Which means that if you use the maximum, you'd have to resync more than 250 GiB after an unclean Primary shutdown. With capable backend storage and replication links, this is entirely feasible.

We used to calculate all on-disk meta data offsets, and then compare the stored offsets, basically treating them as magic numbers. Now with the activity log striping, the activity log size is no longer fixed.

2013-03-22drbd: prepare for new striped layout of activity logLars Ellenberg
Introduce two new on-disk meta data fields: al_stripes and al_stripe_size_4k The intended use case is activity log on RAID 0 or similar. Logically consecutive transactions will advance their on-disk position by al_stripe_size_4k 4kB (transaction sized) blocks. Right now, these are still asserted to be the backward compatible values al_stripes = 1, al_stripe_size_4k = 8 (which amounts to 32kB). Also introduce a caching member for meta_dev_idx in the in-core structure: even though it is initially passed in in the rcu-protected disk_conf structure, it cannot change without a detach/attach cycle.

2012-11-09drbd: always write bitmap on detachLars Ellenberg
If we detach due to local read-error (which sets a bit in the bitmap), stay Primary, and then re-attach (which re-reads the bitmap from disk), we potentially lost the "out-of-sync" (or, "bad block") information in the bitmap. Always (try to) write out the changed bitmap pages before going diskless. That way, we don't lose the bit for the bad block, the next resync will fetch it from the peer, and rewrite it locally, which may result in block reallocation in some lower layer (or the hardware), and thereby "heal" the bad blocks. If the bitmap writeout errors out as well, we will (again: try to) mark the "we need a full sync" bit in our super block, if it was a READ error; writes are covered by the activity log already. If that superblock does not make it to disk either, we are sorry. Maybe we just lost an entire disk or controller (or iSCSI connection), and there actually are no bad blocks at all, so we don't need to re-fetch from the peer, there is no "auto-healing" necessary.

2012-11-09drbd: Call drbd_md_sync() explicitly after a state change on the connectionPhilipp Reisner
Without this, the meta-data gets updates after 5 seconds by the md_sync_timer. Better to do it immeditaly after a state change. If the asender detects a network failure, it may take a bit until the worker processes the according after-conn-state-change work item. The worker might be blocked in sending something, i.e. it takes until it gets into its timeout. That is 6 seconds by default which is longer than the 5 seconds of the md_sync_timer.

2012-11-09drbd: Write all pages of the bitmap after an online resizePhilipp Reisner
We need to write the whole bitmap after we moved the meta data due to an online resize operation. With the support for one peta byte devices bitmap IO was optimized to only write out touched pages. This optimization must be turned off when writing the bitmap after an online resize. This issue was introduced with drbd-8.3.10. The impact of this bug is that after an online resize, the next resync could become larger than expected.

2012-11-08drbd: do not reset rs_pending_cnt too earlyLars Ellenberg
Fix asserts like block drbd0: in got_BlockAck:4634: rs_pending_cnt = -35 < 0 ! We reset the resync lru cache and related information (rs_pending_cnt), once we successfully finished a resync or online verify, or if the replication connection is lost. We also need to reset it if a resync or online verify is aborted because a lower level disk failed. In that case the replication link is still established, and we may still have packets queued in the network buffers which want to touch rs_pending_cnt. We do not have any synchronization mechanism to know for sure when all such pending resync related packets have been drained. To avoid this counter to go negative (and violate the ASSERT that it will always be >= 0), just do not reset it when we lose a disk. It is good enough to make sure it is re-initialized before the next resync can start: reset it when we re-attach a disk.

2012-11-08drbd: differentiate between normal and forced detachLars Ellenberg
Aborting local requests (not waiting for completion from the lower level disk) is dangerous: if the master bio has been completed to upper layers, data pages may be re-used for other things already. If local IO is still pending and later completes, this may cause crashes or corrupt unrelated data. Only abort local IO if explicitly requested. Intended use case is a lower level device that turned into a tarpit, not completing io requests, not even doing error completion.

The interrupted by signal case was not properly handled, leading to block drbd0: ASSERT( mdev->state.disk == D_DISKLESS && mdev->state.conn == C_STANDALONE ) in drbd/drbd_worker.c and further to destroying objects while still in use, and resulting crashes.

2012-11-08drbd: remove struct drbd_tl_epoch objects (barrier works)Lars Ellenberg
cherry-picked and adapted from drbd 9 devel branch DRBD requests (struct drbd_request) are already on the per resource transfer log list, and carry their epoch number. We do not need to additionally link them on other ring lists in other structs. The drbd sender thread can recognize itself when to send a P_BARRIER, by tracking the currently processed epoch, and how many writes have been processed for that epoch. If the epoch of the request to be processed does not match the currently processed epoch, any writes have been processed in it, a P_BARRIER for this last processed epoch is send out first. The new epoch then becomes the currently processed epoch. To not get stuck in drbd_al_begin_io() waiting for P_BARRIER_ACK, the sender thread also needs to handle the case when the current epoch was closed already, but no new requests are queued yet, and send out P_BARRIER as soon as possible. This is done by comparing the per resource "current transfer log epoch" (tconn->current_tle_nr) with the per connection "currently processed epoch number" (tconn->send.current_epoch_nr), while waiting for new requests to be processed in wait_for_work().

2012-11-08drbd: fix race between drbdadm invalidate/verify and finishing resyncLars Ellenberg
When a resync or online verify is finished or aborted, drbd does a bulk write-out of changed bitmap pages. If *in that very moment* a new verify or resync is triggered, this can race: ASSERT( !test_bit(BITMAP_IO, &mdev->flags) ) in drbd_main.c FIXME going to queue 'set_n_write from StartingSync' but 'write from resync_finished' still pending? and similar. This can be observed with e.g. tight invalidate loops in test scripts, and probably has no real-life implication.
