[RFC 0/9] Add persistent durable identifier to storage log messages

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

 



Today users have no easy way to correlate kernel log messages for storage
devices across reboots, device dynamic add/remove, or when the device is
physically or logically moved from from system to system.  This is due
to the existing log IDs which identify how the device is attached and not
a unique ID of what is attached.  Additionally, even when the attachment
hasn't changed, it's not always obvious which messages belong to the
device as the different areas in the storage stack use different
identifiers, eg. (sda, sata1.00, sd 0:0:0:0).

This change addresses this by adding a unique ID to each log
message.  It couples the existing structured key/value logging capability
and VPD 0x83 device identification.


An example of logs filtered for a specific device:

# journalctl "_KERNEL_DURABLE_NAME"="t10.ATA QEMU HARDDISK QM00005" \
> | cut -c 25- | fmt -t

This change is incomplete.  With the plethora of different logging
techniques utilized in the kernel for different drivers, file systems,
etc. it will take some coordinated effort and additional changes.  I
tried a few different approaches, to cover as much as I could without
resorting to changing every print statement in all the storage layers,
but maybe there is a better, more elegant approach?

I believe having this functionality is very useful and important for
system configurations of all sizes.  I mentioned this change briefly in:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/30f29fe6-8445-0016-8cdc-3ef99d43fbf5@xxxxxxxxxx/

The series is based on 5.4.
