* [PATCH] md: add missing sysfs_notify on array_state update
From: Tomasz Majchrzak @ 2016-06-30  8:47 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: linux-raid

Changeset 6791875e2e53 has added early return from a function so there is no
sysfs notification for 'active' and 'clean' state change.

Yes, or maybe just a calling convention that just passes both.

I thought about that. Its usage is more compact compared to this series, but is
also more code and less flexible IMO.  For example, we need at least two
variants, for attribute_group and device_attribute separately, right?

We (or rather Dan) is touching most add_disk callers anyway for the
driverfs_dev removal.  Let's just pass the array of attributes to
a disk_add variant and solve the issue for real.

It is documented that KOBJ_ADD should be generated after the object's
attributes and children are ready.  We can achieve this with the new

In-Reply-To: <20160630015953.6888-1-famz@redhat.com>

It is documented that KOBJ_ADD should be generated after the object's
attributes and children are ready.  We can achieve this with the new
disk_gen_uevents interface.

In-Reply-To: <20160630015953.6888-1-famz@redhat.com>

Userspace listens to the KOBJ_ADD uevent generated in add_disk. At that
point we haven't created the serial attribute file, therefore depending
on how fast udev reacts, the /dev/disk/by-id/ entry doesn't always get
created.

This race condition can be easily reproduced by hot plugging a number of
virtio-blk disks.

Also in systemd, there used to be a related workaround in udev rules
called 'WAIT_FOR="serial"', but it is removed in later versions.

Now let's generate a KOBJ_CHANGE event after the attributes are ready.

In add_disk(), don't send uevent to userspace when gen_uevent is true;
also export the refactored function disk_gen_uevents for later use.

* [PATCH v2 00/12] gendisk: Generate uevent after attribute available
From: Fam Zheng @ 2016-06-30  1:59 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: linux-kernel
  Cc: Sergey Senozhatsky, Michael S. Tsirkin, Benjamin Herrenschmidt,
	linux-nvme, virtualization, Keith Busch, Paul Mackerras,
	Michael Ellerman, Christoph Hellwig, Shaohua Li, Nitin Gupta,
	famz, Jiri Kosina, linux-block, Ed L. Cashin, Jens Axboe,
	linux-raid, David Woodhouse, linux-mmc, Minchan Kim, linux-mtd,
	Brian Norris, linuxppc-dev

The race condition is noticed between disk_add() and disk attributes, on
virtio-blk hotplug.

Userspace listens to the KOBJ_ADD uevent generated in add_disk(). At that
point we haven't created the serial attribute file, therefore depending
on how fast udev reacts, the /dev/disk/by-id/ entry doesn't always get
created.

As pointed out by Christoph Hellwig in the specific fix [1], virtio-blk is not
the only driver that suffers from this, so we cannot count on every driver to
send events manually. Moreover as suggested in uevent documentation, it is
advised to defer the KOBJ_ADD event until all attributes are ready:

Documentation/kobject.txt:
> Use the KOBJ_ADD action for when the kobject is first added to the kernel.
> This should be done only after any attributes or children of the kobject
> have been initialized properly, as userspace will instantly start to look
> for them when this call happens.

Unfortunately it seems impossible to fix this generally without touching the
offending callers.  The approach I'm proposing here is adding a flag to
suppress uevent in add_disk(), which is patch 1, then in later patches, convert
any caller to only trigger the uevent when attributes are added.

* --detail --test exit status
From: Xavier Nicollet @ 2016-06-29 21:19 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: linux-raid

Hi,

I've hit the same problem as this one:
https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-raid@vger.kernel.org/msg06567.html

Basically with raid1 "mdadm --detail --test /dev/md0" returns 0 even if
only one drive is still alive.

I think it's coming from the enough() function from util.c:

int enough(int level, int raid_disks, int layout, int clean, char
*avail)

/.../
 case 1:
                 return avail_disks >= 1;
/.../

It's called from Detail.c:
       if (c->test && !enough(array.level, array.raid_disks, array.layout,
		1, avail))
			rv = 2;

I think each time we print DEGRADED or FAILED, we should modify rv
accordingly.

I am missing something?

But there *are* plenty of examples of this.  I've run into this
personally, before I knew to specifically check the ERC/TLER/whatever
configuration on all my drives and pro-actively configure them
properly.

When the only two options are 1) long kernel timeout and URE is caught
and fixed, or 2) short kernel timeout and the drive is detected as
failed and kicked from all arrays, then I'll take #1 please.
Obviously, trying to detect misconfiguration and drives that don't
support ERC/TLER and fixing the timeout accordingly would be better.
I agree with others, the current default behavior is unintentionally
user-hostile.

> Long timeouts don't really serve anyone, even in single-disk cases.

This statement is too dogmatic.  It depends on the drive.  For a drive
with the proper features and settings, that is guaranteed to respond
in a few seconds unless it has truly totally failed, I agree with you.
For a drive with those features but misconfigured (e.g., by default),
best is to configure it properly, so in that case I agree with you but
changes are needed somewhere to get the configuration to occur
automatically.  For a consumer drive that lacks those features
entirely, I disagree with you.  Although for that case, it would be
worth having an alarm of some sort be triggered perhaps similar to the
EMails generated when an array degrades.  That would let the user know
that the drive is responding very slowly (probably indicating
recoverable read errors) and may fail soon.  Again, changes are needed
to do that.

Yes, that is consistent with what I saw.

Sounds good.

OK, but the two links you provided are not examples of these.

This one is basically a software or pilot-error problem that lead to a
partition table being destroyed (with a dash of terrible advice along
the way, like "pull two disks out of the machine and see if the array
recovers").  The one SATA link reset in the logs took all of 9ms to
report a drive error about 4 seconds after boot.  Nothing about this
would be affected by changing the 30-second SATA timeout.

> http://www.spinics.net/lists/raid/msg52789.html

This one is a RAID5 array that was in degraded mode for a *year* before
it was finally taken out by a second disk failure.  Data loss is the
expected outcome given those conditions--you don't get to keep your
data if you ignore drive failures for a year!  Changing the timeout
to expose latent UREs could not have helped in that case--errors were
already detected, but the admin ignored their monitoring responsibility
and just left the array to die.

He repeats it a lot, to be sure, and he's not wrong--but it doesn't seem
to be relevant in those specific examples.  Timeout mismatch mitigation
is presented before any causal analysis of the reported failure.

There's a use case for the long timeout in situations where the system
is no longer healthy and ddrescue/myrescue-style tools are in play.

In redundant setups that are still healthy, the time to error detection
should be as short as possible so repair can start sooner, while still
long enough to avoid crazy numbers of false positives.  Unfortunately
that's not what seems to happen if the Linux-side timeout is shortened.

Long timeouts don't really serve anyone, even in single-disk cases.

I was once presented a machine with an obvious disk failure--painfully
slow multi-minute application startup times, and the disk was making loud
clicking/rattling noises--but the drive was never reporting any problems
to the OS (Windows, as it happened).  The machine's owners would not
believe that its disk had failed due to the lack of reported errors, and
would not authorize a test build with a new disk restored from backups
(an expensive proposition since there weren't any, and making a copy
of this broken disk would have taken days if it was successful at all).
The owners were convinced it was some sort of software problem.  Finally I
told the users to run a drive self-test over a weekend and--after about
40 hours and only 4% of the disk tested--it finally found a bad sector
it couldn't read, and generated an error code that would get the drive
replaced.  Apparently the machine's users had been living with this
for three months before I got there, and the machine was unusable the
whole time.  A much shorter error timeout would at least have provided
evidence of a hardware problem, even if it was the wrong one.

But this still leaves the "consumer" (non-NAS, non-RAID) drives broken as a default,
until the user tweaks the SCSI command timeout for the disk to much bigger value (longer than the drive's internal timeout, whatever it is, 180 seconds or so..) ?

I am not sure whether struct cache_b *sb will be used in future, I
suggest to let it be for now.

There are 2 modification of this patch. The first one is about a typo,
it is correct.

But I doubt your second modification is proper. The line removed in your
patch is,

I think this is exactly what original author wants to say. It does not
mean return a value, it means return to the calling function. And the
bellowed lines explains the reason.
