<content type='text'>
After a migrate to another host (which may not have multiqueue
support), the number of rings (block hardware queues)
may be changed and the ring info structure will also be reallocated.

This patch fixes two related bugs:
 * call blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues() to make blk-core know the number
   of hardware queues have been changed.
 * Don't store rinfo pointer to hctx-&gt;driver_data, because rinfo may be
   reallocated so use hctx-&gt;queue_num to get the rinfo structure instead.

<title>xen-blkfront: don't call talk_to_blkback when already connected to blkback</title>

<content type='text'>
Sometimes blkfront may twice receive blkback_changed() notification
(XenbusStateConnected) after migration, which will cause
talk_to_blkback() to be called twice too and confuse xen-blkback.

The flow is as follow:
   blkfront                                        blkback
blkfront_resume()
 &gt; talk_to_blkback()
  &gt; Set blkfront to XenbusStateInitialised
                                                front changed()
                                                 &gt; Connect()
                                                  &gt; Set blkback to XenbusStateConnected

blkback_changed()
 &gt; Skip talk_to_blkback()
   because frontstate == XenbusStateInitialised
 &gt; blkfront_connect()
  &gt; Set blkfront to XenbusStateConnected

-----
And here we get another XenbusStateConnected notification leading
to:
-----
blkback_changed()
 &gt; because now frontstate != XenbusStateInitialised
   talk_to_blkback() is also called again
  &gt; blkfront state changed from
  XenbusStateConnected to XenbusStateInitialised
    (Which is not correct!)

						front_changed():
                                                 &gt; Do nothing because blkback
                                                   already in XenbusStateConnected

Now blkback is in XenbusStateConnected but blkfront is still
in XenbusStateInitialised - leading to no disks.

Poking of the XenbusStateConnected state is allowed (to deal with
block disk change) and has to be dealt with. The most likely
cause of this bug are custom udev scripts hooking up the disks
and then validating the size.

 "DAX error handling for 4.7

   - Until now, dax has been disabled if media errors were found on any
     device.  This enables the use of DAX in the presence of these
     errors by making all sector-aligned zeroing go through the driver.

   - The driver (already) has the ability to clear errors on writes that
     are sent through the block layer using 'DSMs' defined in ACPI 6.1.

  Other misc changes:

   - When mounting DAX filesystems, check to make sure the partition is
     page aligned.  This is a requirement for DAX, and previously, we
     allowed such unaligned mounts to succeed, but subsequent
     reads/writes would fail.

   - Misc/cleanup fixes from Jan that remove unused code from DAX
     related to zeroing, writeback, and some size checks"

   - Ilya has finished a huge refactoring effort to sync up the

     additional behaviors (e.g., how requests are handled when cluster

     This structure of the code is more closely aligned with userspace
     now such that it will be much easier to maintain going forward when
     behavior changes take place.  There are some locking improvements
     bundled in as well.

   - Zheng adds multi-filesystem support (multiple namespaces within the
     same Ceph cluster)

   - Zheng has changed the readdir offsets and directory enumeration so
     that dentry offsets are hash-based and therefore stable across
     directory fragmentation events on the MDS.

For map check, we are going to need to send CEPH_MSG_MON_GET_VERSION
messages asynchronously and get a callback on completion.  Refactor MON
client to allow firing off generic requests asynchronously and add an
async variant of ceph_monc_get_version().  ceph_monc_do_statfs() is
switched over and remains sync.

<title>libceph, rbd: ceph_osd_linger_request, watch/notify v2</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=922dab6134178cae317ae00de86376cba59f3147'/>
<id>922dab6134178cae317ae00de86376cba59f3147</id>
<content type='text'>
This adds support and switches rbd to a new, more reliable version of
watch/notify protocol.  As with the OSD client update, this is mostly
about getting the right structures linked into the right places so that
reconnects are properly sent when needed.  watch/notify v2 also
requires sending regular pings to the OSDs - send_linger_ping().

A major change from the old watch/notify implementation is the
introduction of ceph_osd_linger_request - linger requests no longer
piggy back on ceph_osd_request.  ceph_osd_event has been merged into
ceph_osd_linger_request.

All the details are now hidden within libceph, the interface consists
of a simple pair of watch/unwatch functions and ceph_osdc_notify_ack().
ceph_osdc_watch() does return ceph_osd_linger_request, but only to keep
the lifetime management simple.

ceph_osdc_notify_ack() accepts an optional data payload, which is
relayed back to the notifier.

Portions of this patch are loosely based on work by Douglas Fuller
&lt;dfuller@redhat.com&gt; and Mike Christie &lt;michaelc@cs.wisc.edu&gt;.

This adds support and switches rbd to a new, more reliable version of
watch/notify protocol.  As with the OSD client update, this is mostly
about getting the right structures linked into the right places so that
reconnects are properly sent when needed.  watch/notify v2 also
requires sending regular pings to the OSDs - send_linger_ping().

A major change from the old watch/notify implementation is the
introduction of ceph_osd_linger_request - linger requests no longer
piggy back on ceph_osd_request.  ceph_osd_event has been merged into
ceph_osd_linger_request.

All the details are now hidden within libceph, the interface consists
of a simple pair of watch/unwatch functions and ceph_osdc_notify_ack().
ceph_osdc_watch() does return ceph_osd_linger_request, but only to keep
the lifetime management simple.

ceph_osdc_notify_ack() accepts an optional data payload, which is
relayed back to the notifier.

Portions of this patch are loosely based on work by Douglas Fuller
&lt;dfuller@redhat.com&gt; and Mike Christie &lt;michaelc@cs.wisc.edu&gt;.

Introduce __rbd_dev_header_unwatch_sync(), which doesn't flush notify
callbacks.  This is for the new rados_watcherrcb_t, which would be
called from a notify callback.
