Subject: [BUGFIX 0/2] BUG Fixes for OSD in mainline (2.6.30)
Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2009 19:58:59 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <49D24BD3.2030801@panasas.com> (raw)
A very serious and stupid bug was found by users in current osd code,
which caused it not to be usable in it's current form.
It would hard-lock immediately on any asynchronous execution call
on an SMP Kernel. Just to show that it was only run on uni-machines
until today.
Since found I've setup a test rig with SMP machines banging on each
other with multi threaded/devices/mounts and they are still up.
(Same setup I used to run with UMLs before)
Thanks to Xu Yang <onlyxuyang@qq.com> for reporting this and his devotion
to finding a fix.
These are the patches
[PATCH 1/2] libosd: BUGFIX: blk_put_request can't be called from within request_end_io
A fix for a very serious and stupid bug in osd_initiator. It used to
call blk_put_request() regardless of if it was from the end_io callback
or if called after a sync execution. It should call the unlocked version
__blk_put_request() instead.
Also fixed is the remove of _abort_unexecuted_bios hack, and use of
blk_end_request(,-ERROR,) to deallocate half baked requests. I've
audited the code and it should be safe.

[PATCH 2/2] osd_uld: Remove creation of osd_scsi class symlink
Remove the creation of the symlink from the device to
it's class. On modern systems this is already created by
a udev rule and would WARN on load. On old systems it is
not needed, none of the current osd user-mode tools use
this link.

Please apply for inclusion in the next round of scsi fixes for
2.6.30
Thank you
