I've been attempting to set up a (Host)RAID mirror with dm_mirror on
2.6.14.3, and I've been having a strange little problem. The configuration
in question is a set of 9GB SCSI disks that have 17942584 sectors. I set
up the dm_mirror table as such:
0 17942528 mirror core 2 2048 nosync 2 8:48 0 8:64 0
If I'm not mistaken, this sets up a 9GB RAID1 mriror with 1MB stripes
across both SCSI disks. The sector count of the dm device is less than the
size of the disks, so we shouldn't fall off the end. However, I always get
the messages like this in dmesg when I set up the dm table:
attempt to access beyond end of device
sdd: rw=0, want=17958656, limit=17942584
Clearly, something is trying to read sectors past the end of the drive. I
traced it down to the __rh_recovery_prepare function in dm-raid1.c, which
gets called when we're putting the mirror set together. This function
calls the dirty region log's get_resync_work function to see if there's any
resync that needs to be done, and queues up any areas that are out of sync.
The log's get_resync_work function is actually a pointer to the
core_get_resync_work function in dm-log.c.
The core_get_resync_work function queries a bitset lc->sync_bits to find
out if there are any regions that are out of date (i.e. the bit is 0),
which is where the problem occurs. If every bit in lc->sync_bits is 1
(which is the case when we've just configured a new RAID1 with the nosync
option), the find_next_zero_bit does NOT return the size parameter
(lc->region_count in this case), it returns the size parameter rounded up
to the nearest multiple of 32! I don't know if this is intentional, but
i386 and x86_64 both exhibit this behavior.
In any case, the statement "if (*region == lc->region_count)" looks like
it's supposed to catch the case where are no regions to resync and
return 0. Since find_next_zero_bit apparently has a habit of returning
a value that's larger than lc->region_count, the enclosed patch changes
the equality test to a greater-than test so that we don't try to resync
areas outside of the RAID1 region. Seeing as the HostRAID metadata
lives just past the end of the RAID1 data, mucking around in that area
is not a good idea.
I suppose another way to fix this would be to amend find_next_zero_bit so
that it doesn't return values larger than "size", but I don't know if
there's a reason for the current behavior.

A typical nfsd call trace is
nfsd -> svc_process -> nfsd_dispatch -> nfsd3_proc_write ->
nfsd_write ->nfsd_vfs_write -> vfs_writev
These add up to over 300 bytes on the stack.
Looking at each of these, I see that nfsd_write (which includes
nfsd_vfs_write) contributes 0x8c to stack usage itself!!
It turns out this is because it puts a 'struct iattr' on the stack so
it can kill suid if needed. The following patch saves about 50 bytes
off the stack in this call path.

Both vfs_getattr and i_op->fsync return error statuses which nfsd was
largely ignoring. This as noticed when exporting directories using fuse.
This patch cleans up most of the offences, which involves moving the call
to vfs_getattr out of the xdr encoding routines (where it is too late to
report an error) into the main NFS procedure handling routines.
There is still a called to vfs_gettattr (related to the ACL code) where the
status is ignored, and called to nfsd_sync_dir don't check return status
either.

I submitted this one previously - svc_tcp_recvfrom currently returns
any errors to the caller, including ECONNRESET and the like.
This is something svc_recv isn't able to deal with:
len = svsk->sk_recvfrom(rqstp);
[...]
if (len == 0 || len == -EAGAIN) {
[...]
return -EAGAIN;
}
[...]
return len;
The nfsd main loop will exit when it sees an error code other than
EAGAIN.
The following patch fixes this problem
svc_recv is not equipped to deal with error codes other than EAGAIN,
and will propagate anything else (such as ECONNRESET) up to nfsd,
causing it to exit.

Split the checkpoint list of the transaction into two lists. In the first
list we keep the buffers that need to be submitted for IO. In the second
list are kept buffers that were already submitted and we just have to wait
for the IO to complete. This should simplify a handling of checkpoint
lists a bit and can eventually be also a performance gain.
