------------------
From: Mauricio Faria de Oliveira <mauricfo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 47796938c46b943d157ac8a6f9ed4e3b98b83cf4 upstream.
This reverts commit a1989b330093578ea5470bea0a00f940c444c466.
That commit introduced a regression at least for the case of the SG_IO ioctl()
running without CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability (e.g., unprivileged users) when there
are no active paths: the ioctl() fails with the ENOTTY errno immediately rather
than blocking due to queue_if_no_path until a path becomes active, for example.
That case happens to be exercised by QEMU KVM guests with 'scsi-block' devices
(qemu "-device scsi-block" [1], libvirt "<disk type='block' device='lun'>" [2])
from multipath devices; which leads to SCSI/filesystem errors in such a guest.
More general scenarios can hit that regression too. The following demonstration
employs a SG_IO ioctl() with a standard SCSI INQUIRY command for this objective
(some output & user changes omitted for brevity and comments added for clarity).
Reverting that commit restores normal operation (queueing) in failing scenarios;
tested on linux-next (next-20151022).
1) Test-case is based on sg_simple0 [3] (just SG_IO; remove SG_GET_VERSION_NUM)
$ cat sg_simple0.c
... see [3] ...
$ sed '/SG_GET_VERSION_NUM/,/}/d' sg_simple0.c > sgio_inquiry.c
$ gcc sgio_inquiry.c -o sgio_inquiry
2) The ioctl() works fine with active paths present.
# multipath -l 85ag56
85ag56 (...) dm-19 IBM ,2145
size=60G features='1 queue_if_no_path' hwhandler='0' wp=rw
|-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=0 status=active
| |- 8:0:11:0 sdz 65:144 active undef running
| `- 9:0:9:0 sdbf 67:144 active undef running
`-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=0 status=enabled
|- 8:0:12:0 sdae 65:224 active undef running
`- 9:0:12:0 sdbo 68:32 active undef running
$ ./sgio_inquiry /dev/mapper/85ag56
Some of the INQUIRY command's response:
IBM 2145 0000
INQUIRY duration=0 millisecs, resid=0
3) The ioctl() fails with ENOTTY errno with _no_ active paths present,
for unprivileged users (rather than blocking due to queue_if_no_path).
# for path in $(multipath -l 85ag56 | grep -o 'sd[a-z]\+'); \
do multipathd -k"fail path $path"; done
# multipath -l 85ag56
85ag56 (...) dm-19 IBM ,2145
size=60G features='1 queue_if_no_path' hwhandler='0' wp=rw
|-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=0 status=enabled
| |- 8:0:11:0 sdz 65:144 failed undef running
| `- 9:0:9:0 sdbf 67:144 failed undef running
`-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=0 status=enabled
|- 8:0:12:0 sdae 65:224 failed undef running
`- 9:0:12:0 sdbo 68:32 failed undef running
$ ./sgio_inquiry /dev/mapper/85ag56
sg_simple0: Inquiry SG_IO ioctl error: Inappropriate ioctl for device
4) dmesg shows that scsi_verify_blk_ioctl() failed for SG_IO (0x2285);
it returns -ENOIOCTLCMD, later replaced with -ENOTTY in vfs_ioctl().
$ dmesg
<...>
[] device-mapper: multipath: Failing path 65:144.
[] device-mapper: multipath: Failing path 67:144.
[] device-mapper: multipath: Failing path 65:224.
[] device-mapper: multipath: Failing path 68:32.
[] sgio_inquiry: sending ioctl 2285 to a partition!
5) The ioctl() only works if the SYS_CAP_RAWIO capability is present
(then queueing happens -- in this example, queue_if_no_path is set);
this is due to a conditional check in scsi_verify_blk_ioctl().
# capsh --drop=cap_sys_rawio -- -c './sgio_inquiry /dev/mapper/85ag56'
