First regression related to stop sync thread:
The lifetime of sync_thread is designed as following:
1) Decide want to start sync_thread, set MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED, and wake up
daemon thread;
2) Daemon thread detect that MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED is set, then set
MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING and register sync_thread;
3) Execute md_do_sync() for the actual work, if it's done or
interrupted, it will set MD_RECOVERY_DONE and wake up daemone thread;
4) Daemon thread detect that MD_RECOVERY_DONE is set, then clear
MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING and unregister sync_thread;
In v6.7, we fix md/raid to follow this design by commit f52f5c71f3d4
("md: fix stopping sync thread"), however, dm-raid is not considered at
that time, and following test will hang:
shell/integrity-caching.sh
shell/lvconvert-raid-reshape.sh
This patch set fix the broken test by patch 1-4;
- patch 1 fix that step 4) is broken by suspended array;
- patch 2 fix that step 4) is broken by read-only array;
- patch 3 fix that step 3) is broken that md_do_sync() doesn't set
MD_RECOVERY_DONE; Noted that this patch will introdece new problem that
data will be corrupted, which will be fixed in later patches.
- patch 4 fix that setp 1) is broken that sync_thread is register and
MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING is set directly;
With patch 1-4, the above test won't hang anymore, however, the test
will still fail and complain that ext4 is corrupted;
Second regression related to frozen sync thread:
Noted that for raid456, if reshape is interrupted, then call
"pers->start_reshape" will corrupt data. This is because dm-raid rely on
md_do_sync() doesn't set MD_RECOVERY_DONE so that new sync_thread won't
be registered, and patch 3 just break this.
- Patch 5-6 fix this problem by interrupting reshape and frozen
sync_thread in dm_suspend(), then unfrozen and continue reshape in
dm_resume(). It's verified that dm-raid tests won't complain that
ext4 is corrupted anymore.
- Patch 7 fix the problem that raid_message() call
md_reap_sync_thread() directly, without holding 'reconfig_mutex'.
Last regression related to dm-raid456 IO concurrent with reshape:
For raid456, if reshape is still in progress, then IO across reshape
position will wait for reshape to make progress. However, for dm-raid,
in following cases reshape will never make progress hence IO will hang:
1) the array is read-only;
2) MD_RECOVERY_WAIT is set;
3) MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN is set;
After commit c467e97f079f ("md/raid6: use valid sector values to determine
if an I/O should wait on the reshape") fix the problem that IO across
reshape position doesn't wait for reshape, the dm-raid test
shell/lvconvert-raid-reshape.sh start to hang at raid5_make_request().
For md/raid, the problem doesn't exist because:
1) If array is read-only, it can switch to read-write by ioctl/sysfs;
2) md/raid never set MD_RECOVERY_WAIT;
3) If MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN is set, mddev_suspend() doesn't hold
'reconfig_mutex' anymore, it can be cleared and reshape can continue by
sysfs api 'sync_action'.
However, I'm not sure yet how to avoid the problem in dm-raid yet.
- patch 9-11 fix this problem by detecting the above 3 cases in
dm_suspend(), and fail those IO directly.
If user really meet the IO error, then it means they're reading the wrong
data before c467e97f079f. And it's safe to read/write the array after
reshape make progress successfully.
c467e97f079f got back ported to stable kernels (6.6.13, for example). We
will need some fixes for them (to fix shell/lvconvert-raid-reshape.sh).
Mikulas and folks, please help review the analysis above and dm-raid
changes. The failure was triggered by c467e97f079f. However, the commit
is doing the right thing, so we really shouldn't revert it.
Tests:
I already run the following two tests many times and verified that they
won't fail anymore:
shell/integrity-caching.sh
shell/lvconvert-raid-reshape.sh
shell/lvconvert-raid-reshape-linear_to_raid6-single-type.sh is failing
with upstream + this set. (I need to fix some trivial compilation errors,
which are probably last minute typos).
I'm running test for this patchset overnight in my vm, and this test has
been ran for 9 times and all passed. Looks like I can't reporduce this
in my vm.
