drbd: fix DRBD_VOLUME_MAX 65535 -> 65534

2023-01-29T22:18:33+00:00

The protocol uses -1 as a reserved value for 'no specific volume', and since the protocol field is a 16 bit unsigned value, -1 is converted to 65535. Therefore, limit the range of valid volume numbers to [0, 65534].

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55+00:00

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

drbd: when receiving P_TRIM, zero-out partial unaligned chunks

2016-06-14T03:43:05+00:00

We can avoid spurious data divergence caused by partially-ignored discards on certain backends with discard_zeroes_data=0, if we translate partial unaligned discard requests into explicit zero-out. The relevant use case is LVM/DM thin. If on different nodes, DRBD is backed by devices with differing discard characteristics, discards may lead to data divergence (old data or garbage left over on one backend, zeroes due to unmapped areas on the other backend). Online verify would now potentially report tons of spurious differences. While probably harmless for most use cases (fstrim on a file system), DRBD cannot have that, it would violate our promise to upper layers that our data instances on the nodes are identical. To be correct and play safe (make sure data is identical on both copies), we would have to disable discard support, if our local backend (on a Primary) does not support "discard_zeroes_data=true". We'd also have to translate discards to explicit zero-out on the receiving (typically: Secondary) side, unless the receiving side supports "discard_zeroes_data=true". Which both would allocate those blocks, instead of unmapping them, in contrast with expectations. LVM/DM thin does set discard_zeroes_data=0, because it silently ignores discards to partial chunks. We can work around this by checking the alignment first. For unaligned (wrt. alignment and granularity) or too small discards, we zero-out the initial (and/or) trailing unaligned partial chunks, but discard all the aligned full chunks. At least for LVM/DM thin, the result is effectively "discard_zeroes_data=1". Arguably it should behave this way internally, by default, and we'll try to make that happen. But our workaround is still valid for already deployed setups, and for other devices that may behave this way. Setting discard-zeroes-if-aligned=yes will allow DRBD to use discards, and to announce discard_zeroes_data=true, even on backends that announce discard_zeroes_data=false. Setting discard-zeroes-if-aligned=no will cause DRBD to always fall-back to zero-out on the receiving side, and to not even announce discard capabilities on the Primary, if the respective backend announces discard_zeroes_data=false. We used to ignore the discard_zeroes_data setting completely. To not break established and expected behaviour, and suddenly cause fstrim on thin-provisioned LVs to run out-of-space, instead of freeing up space, the default value is "yes".

drbd: Introduce new disk config option rs-discard-granularity

2016-06-14T03:43:04+00:00

As long as the value is 0 the feature is disabled. With setting it to a positive value, DRBD limits and aligns its resync requests to the rs-discard-granularity setting. If the sync source detects all zeros in such a block, the resync target discards the range on disk. Signed-off-by: Philipp Reisner Signed-off-by: Lars Ellenberg Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

drbd: New net configuration option socket-check-timeout

2014-07-10T16:35:01+00:00

In setups involving a DRBD-proxy and connections that experience a lot of buffer-bloat it might be necessary to set ping-timeout to an unusual high value. By default DRBD uses the same value to wait if a newly established TCP-connection is stable. Since the DRBD-proxy is usually located in the same data center such a long wait time may hinder DRBD's connect process. In such setups socket-check-timeout should be set to at least to the round trip time between DRBD and DRBD-proxy. I.e. in most cases to 1.

drbd: implement csums-after-crash-only

2014-07-10T16:35:00+00:00

Checksum based resync trades CPU cycles for network bandwidth, in situations where we expect much of the to-be-resynced blocks to be actually identical on both sides already. In a "network hickup" scenario, it won't help: all to-be-resynced blocks will typically be different. The use case is for the resync of *potentially* different blocks after crash recovery -- the crash recovery had marked larger areas (those covered by the activity log) as need-to-be-resynced, just in case. Most of those blocks will be identical. This option makes it possible to configure checksum based resync, but only actually use it for the first resync after primary crash.
