Subject: [PATCH] dm: fix reload failure of 0 path multipath mapping on blk-mq devices
Date: Fri, 29 May 2015 08:51:03 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <55682877.5040800@ce.jp.nec.com> (raw)
dm-multipath accepts 0 path mapping.
# echo '0 2097152 multipath 0 0 0 0' | dmsetup create newdev
Such a mapping can be used to release underlying devices while still
holding requests in its queue until working paths come back.
However, once the multipath device is created over blk-mq devices,
it rejects reloading of 0 path mapping:
# echo '0 2097152 multipath 0 0 1 1 queue-length 0 1 1 /dev/sda 1' \
| dmsetup create mpath1
# echo '0 2097152 multipath 0 0 0 0' | dmsetup load mpath1
device-mapper: reload ioctl on mpath1 failed: Invalid argument
Command failed
With following kernel message:
device-mapper: ioctl: can't change device type after initial table load.
DM tries to inherit the current table type using dm_table_set_type()
but it doesn't work as expected because of unnecessary check about
whether the target type is hybrid or not.
Hybrid type is for targets that work as either request-based or bio-based
and not required for blk-mq or non blk-mq checking.
Fixes: 65803c205983 ("dm table: train hybrid target type detection to select blk-mq if appropriate")
