In which case, bdi_gone == shutdown. Operation methods should be named after what they do, not what their calling context is. i.e. these are "invalidate" and "shutdown" superblock operations, not "quiesce" and "bdi_gone". > generic_quiesce_super and generic_bdi_gone, are the default operations > when a filesystem does not implement ->quiesce(), ->bdi_gone().

I don't quite understand what the point of factoring __invalidate_device() like this is - it's not used by anyone, so it seems completely unnecessary to me. And really, that points out that there are multiple changes in this patch set that should be done separately. The rework of del_gendisk() into del_gendisk_start/del_gendisk_end should be the first patch. The del_gendisk/blk_cleanup_queue to blk_cleanup_queue() combining should be the second part, as it builds on the factoring of del_gendisk(). Then, if we really need to keep it, the factoring to introduce generic_quiesce_super. And finally, the patch that allows the shutdown callout can be introduced.

I was running out of colors to paint the bike shed given generic_shutdown_super() was already in use. Also, since generic_shutdown_super() has had its current meaning since forever I didn't think it was worth the risk to change the meaning of such a long standing symbol.

How about 'stop' or 'halt' instead of 'shutdown' to preserve the historical meaning of generic_shutdown_super? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

If get_super() is ever changed, this code will explode on us when we least expect it. If I have to go read other code in a completely different file just to determine the code is actually safe, then I consider that bad code. Code that is slightly more verbose but is obviously correct and balanced is much, much easier to understand and maintain.... > >> + if (!sb) { > >> + bdput(bdev); > >> + return; > >> + } > >> + > >> + if (sb->s_op->bdi_gone) > >> + sb->s_op->bdi_gone(sb); > >> + else > >> + generic_bdi_gone(sb); > > > > if (sb->s_op->shutdown) > > sb->s_op->shutdown(sb); > > else > > unmap_dax_inodes(sb); > > > > name things correctly, and the code documents itself. > > How about 'stop' or 'halt' instead of 'shutdown' to preserve the > historical meaning of generic_shutdown_super? It's hard chosing a different color that is appropriate. :/ Because it's a brute-force behavioural override, I think that needs to be obvious from the op name. So something like force_stop or force_failure seems best to me. In fact, now that I've thought/repaeated/written force_failure a couple of times, it seems quite appropriate here, as what we want to be able to do is force the filesystem into a (permanent) failure state..... Cheers, Dave.

Would you mind explaining what the hell is _the_ backing device of a filesystem? What does that translate into in case of e.g. btrfs spanning several disks? Or ext4 with journal on a different device, for that matter? If anything, I would argue that filesystem is out of place here - general situation is "IO on X may require IO on device Y and X needs to do something when Y goes away". Consider e.g. /dev/loop backed by a device that went away. Or by a file on fs that has run down the curtain and joined the bleedin choir invisible. With another fs partially hosted by that loopback device. Or by RAID0 containing said device. You are given Y and attempt to locate the affected X. _Then_ you assume that X is a filesystem and has "something to be done" independent from the role Y played for it, so you can pick that action from superblock method. IMO you are placing the burden in the wrong place. _Recepient_ knows what it depends upon and what should be done for each source of trouble. So make it recepient's responsibility to request notifications. At which point the superblock method goes away, along with the requirement to handle all sources of trouble the same way, etc. What's more, things like RAID5 (also interested in knowing when a component has been ripped out) might or might not decide to propagate the event further - after all, that's exactly the point of redundancy. I'd look into something along the lines of notifier chain per gendisk, with potential victims registering a callback when they decide that from now on such and such device might screw them over... -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I need a similar thing for communicating device changes (resizing, topology changes), so I'd be very much interested in them. And while you're at it, maybe we can fold the block device event handling into that, too. Cheers, Hannes

Fully support this. I was planning on something similar to transport device changes (resizing, topology change etc). And it might even be an idea to convert the block device events to a notifier chain, too. Dan, can you keep me in the loop here? Thanks. Cheers, Hannes

Historically we have waited for filesystem specific heuristics to attempt to guess when a block device is gone. Sometimes this works, but in other cases the system can hang waiting for the fs to trigger its shutdown protocol. The initial motivation for this investigation was to prevent DAX mappings (direct mmap access to persistent memory) from leaking past the lifetime of the hosting block device. However, Dave points out that these shutdown operations are needed in other scenarios. Quoting Dave: For example, if we detect a free space corruption during allocation, it is not safe to trust *any active mapping* because we can't trust that we having handed out the same block to multiple owners. Hence on such a filesystem shutdown, we have to prevent any new DAX mapping from occurring and invalidate all existing mappings as we cannot allow userspace to modify any data or metadata until we've resolved the corruption situation. The current block device shutdown sequence of del_gendisk + blk_cleanup_queue is problematic. We want to tell the fs after blk_cleanup_queue that there is no possibility of recovery, but by that time we have deleted partitions and lost the ability to find all the super-blocks on a block device. Introduce del_gendisk_queue to trigger ->quiesce() and ->bdi_gone() notifications to all the filesystems hosted on the disk. Where ->quiesce() are 'shutdown' operations while the bdev may still be alive, and ->bdi_gone() is a set of actions to take after the backing device is known to be permanently dead. generic_quiesce_super and generic_bdi_gone, are the default operations when a filesystem does not implement ->quiesce(), ->bdi_gone(). They invalidate inodes and unmap DAX-inodes respectively. For now only ->bdi_gone() has an associated super operation as xfs will implement ->bdi_gone() in a later patch.
