Subject: [PATCH] skd: disable discard support
Date: Wed, 12 Feb 2014 17:18:36 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140212221835.GA4265@redhat.com> (raw)
The skd driver has never handled discards reliably.
The kernel will BUG as a result of issuing discards to the skd device.
Disable the skd driver's discard support until it is proven reliable.
The device-mapper-test-suite test that exposed this bug just issues a
discard that covers a portion of the skd device that was previously
written through a dm-thin device. The discard spans the entire 1GB thin
device (logical sector 0 through 2097152).
dmtest run --profile stec --suite thin-provisioning -n /discard_fully_provisioned_device/
associated device-mapper-test-suite ruby test code follows:
def test_discard_fully_provisioned_device
with_standard_pool(@size) do |pool|
with_new_thins(pool, @volume_size, 0, 1) do |thin, thin2|
wipe_device(thin)
wipe_device(thin2)
assert_used_blocks(pool, 2 * @blocks_per_dev)
thin.discard(0, @volume_size)
assert_used_blocks(pool, @blocks_per_dev)
end
end
...
