Hello Mike, Thanks again for having made these patches available. The results of my tests are as follows: (1) CONFIG_DM_MQ_DEFAULT=y, fio running on top of xfs The first simulated cable pull caused the following messages to appear: [ 428.716566] mpath 254:1: queue_if_no_path 1 -> 0 [ 428.729671] __multipath_map(): (a) returning -5 [ 428.729730] map_request(): clone_and_map_rq() returned -5 [ 428.729788] dm_complete_request: error = -5 [ 428.729846] dm_softirq_done: dm-1 tio->error = -5 [ 428.729904] blk_update_request: 880 callbacks suppressed [ 428.729970] blk_update_request: I/O error (-5), dev dm-1, sector 2097024 (2) CONFIG_DM_MQ_DEFAULT=y, fio running on top of ext4 The first simulated cable pull caused the following messages to appear: [ 162.894737] mpath 254:0: queue_if_no_path 0 -> 1 [ 162.903155] executing DM ioctl DEV_SUSPEND on mpathbe [ 162.903207] mpath 254:0: queue_if_no_path 1 -> 0 [ 162.903255] device-mapper: multipath: must_push_back: queue_if_no_path=0 suspend_active=1 suspending=0 [ 162.903256] __multipath_map(): (a) returning -5 [ 162.903257] map_request(): clone_and_map_rq() returned -5 [ 162.903258] dm_complete_request: error = -5 [ 162.903259] dm_softirq_done: dm-0 tio->error = -5 [ 162.903261] blk_update_request: I/O error (-5), dev dm-0, sector 263424 [ 162.903284] Buffer I/O error on dev dm-0, logical block 32928, lost sync page write (3) CONFIG_DM_MQ_DEFAULT=n, fio running on top of xfs This test passed once but on the second run fio reported "bad magic header" after a large number of iterations. I'm still analyzing the logs. (4) CONFIG_DM_MQ_DEFAULT=n, fio running on top of ext4 Ran this test three times. The first two runs passed but during the third run fio reported again I/O errors and I found the following in the kernel log: [ 954.048860] __multipath_map(): (a) returning -5 [ 954.048861] map_request(): clone_and_map_rq() returned -5 [ 954.048862] dm_complete_request: error = -5 [ 954.048870] dm_softirq_done: dm-0 tio->error = -5 [ 954.048873] blk_update_request: 15 callbacks suppressed [ 954.048874] blk_update_request: I/O error (-5), dev dm-0, sector 159976 Bart. -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
