[PATCH v2 0/4] ublk: support device recovery without I/O queueing

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



ublk currently supports the following behaviors on ublk server exit:

A: outstanding I/Os get errors, subsequently issued I/Os get errors
B: outstanding I/Os get errors, subsequently issued I/Os queue
C: outstanding I/Os get reissued, subsequently issued I/Os queue

and the following behaviors for recovery of preexisting block devices by
a future incarnation of the ublk server:

1: ublk devices stopped on ublk server exit (no recovery possible)
2: ublk devices are recoverable using start/end_recovery commands

The userspace interface allows selection of combinations of these
behaviors using flags specified at device creation time, namely:

default behavior: A + 1
UBLK_F_USER_RECOVERY: B + 2
UBLK_F_USER_RECOVERY|UBLK_F_USER_RECOVERY_REISSUE: C + 2

A + 2 is a currently unsupported behavior. This patch series aims to add
support for it.

Uday Shankar (4):
  ublk: check recovery flags for validity
  ublk: refactor recovery configuration flag helpers
  ublk: merge stop_work and quiesce_work
  ublk: support device recovery without I/O queueing
