Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sage/ceph-client

2012-12-20T22:00:13+00:00

Pull Ceph update from Sage Weil:
 "There are a few different groups of commits here.  The largest is
  Alex's ongoing work to enable the coming RBD features (cloning,
  striping).  There is some cleanup in libceph that goes along with it.

  Cyril and David have fixed some problems with NFS reexport (leaking
  dentries and page locks), and there is a batch of patches from Yan
  fixing problems with the fs client when running against a clustered
  MDS.  There are a few bug fixes mixed in for good measure, many of
  which will be going to the stable trees once they're upstream.

  My apologies for the late pull.  There is still a gremlin in the rbd
  map/unmap code and I was hoping to include the fix for that as well,
  but we haven't been able to confirm the fix is correct yet; I'll send
  that in a separate pull once it's nailed down."

rbd: get rid of rbd_{get,put}_dev()

2012-12-20T16:56:44+00:00

The functions rbd_get_dev() and rbd_put_dev() are trivial wrappers
that add no value, and their existence suggests they may do more
than what they do.

Get rid of them.

aoe: fix use after free in aoedev_by_aoeaddr()

2012-12-18T01:15:26+00:00

We should return NULL on failure instead of returning a freed pointer.

aoe: update internal version number to 81

2012-12-18T01:15:26+00:00

This version number is printed to the console on module initialization
and is available in sysfs, which is where the userland aoe-version tool
looks for it.

aoe: identify source of runt AoE packets

2012-12-18T01:15:26+00:00

This change only affects experimental AoE storage networks.

It modifies the console message about runt packets detected so that the
AoE major and minor addresses of the AoE target that generated the runt
are mentioned.

aoe: allow comma separator in aoe_iflist value

2012-12-18T01:15:26+00:00

By default, the aoe driver uses any ethernet interface for AoE, but the
aoe_iflist module parameter provides a convenient way to limit AoE
traffic to a specific list of local network interfaces.

This change allows a list to be specified using the comma character as a
separator.  For example,

  modprobe aoe aoe_iflist=eth2,eth3

Before, it was inconvenient to get the quoting right in shell scripts
when setting aoe_iflist to have more than one network interface.

aoe: allow user to disable target failure timeout

2012-12-18T01:15:25+00:00

With this change, the aoe driver treats the value zero as special for
the aoe_deadsecs module parameter.  Normally, this value specifies the
number of seconds during which the driver will continue to attempt
retransmits to an unresponsive AoE target.  After aoe_deadsecs has
elapsed, the aoe driver marks the aoe device as "down" and fails all
I/O.

The new meaning of an aoe_deadsecs of zero is for the driver to
retransmit commands indefinitely.

aoe: use dynamic number of remote ports for AoE storage target

2012-12-18T01:15:25+00:00

Many AoE targets have four or fewer network ports, but some existing
storage devices have many, and the AoE protocol sets no limit.

This patch allows the use of more than eight remote MAC addresses per AoE
target, while reducing the amount of memory used by the aoe driver in
cases where there are many AoE targets with fewer than eight MAC addresses
each.

aoe: avoid races between device destruction and discovery

2012-12-18T01:15:25+00:00

This change avoids a race that could result in a NULL pointer derference
following a WARNing from kobject_add_internal, "don't try to register
things with the same name in the same directory."

The problem was found with a test that forgets and discovers an
aoe device in a loop:

  while test ! -r /tmp/stop; do
	aoe-flush -a
	aoe-discover
  done

The race was between aoedev_flush taking aoedevs out of the devlist,
allowing a new discovery of the same AoE target to take place before the
driver gets around to calling sysfs_remove_group.  Fixing that one
revealed another race between do_open and add_disk, and this patch avoids
that, too.

The fix required some care, because for flushing (forgetting) an aoedev,
some of the steps must be performed under lock and some must be able to
sleep.  Also, for discovering a new aoedev, some steps might sleep.

The check for a bad aoedev pointer remains from a time when about half of
this patch was done, and it was possible for the
bdev->bd_disk->private_data to become corrupted.  The check should be
removed eventually, but it is not expected to add significant overhead,
occurring in the aoeblk_open routine.
