H A Ddm-mpath.cdiff 47796938c46b943d157ac8a6f9ed4e3b98b83cf4 Thu Oct 29 07:24:23 CDT 2015 Mauricio Faria de Oliveira <mauricfo@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Revert "dm mpath: fix stalls when handling invalid ioctls"

This reverts commit a1989b330093578ea5470bea0a00f940c444c466.

That commit introduced a regression at least for the case of the SG_IO ioctl()
running without CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability (e.g., unprivileged users) when there
are no active paths: the ioctl() fails with the ENOTTY errno immediately rather
than blocking due to queue_if_no_path until a path becomes active, for example.

That case happens to be exercised by QEMU KVM guests with 'scsi-block' devices
(qemu "-device scsi-block" [1], libvirt "<disk type='block' device='lun'>" [2])
from multipath devices; which leads to SCSI/filesystem errors in such a guest.

More general scenarios can hit that regression too. The following demonstration
employs a SG_IO ioctl() with a standard SCSI INQUIRY command for this objective
(some output & user changes omitted for brevity and comments added for clarity).

Reverting that commit restores normal operation (queueing) in failing scenarios;
tested on linux-next (next-20151022).

1) Test-case is based on sg_simple0 [3] (just SG_IO; remove SG_GET_VERSION_NUM)

$ cat sg_simple0.c
... see [3] ...
$ sed '/SG_GET_VERSION_NUM/,/}/d' sg_simple0.c > sgio_inquiry.c
$ gcc sgio_inquiry.c -o sgio_inquiry

2) The ioctl() works fine with active paths present.

# multipath -l 85ag56
85ag56 (...) dm-19 IBM ,2145
size=60G features='1 queue_if_no_path' hwhandler='0' wp=rw
|-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=0 status=active
| |- 8:0:11:0 sdz 65:144 active undef running
| `- 9:0:9:0 sdbf 67:144 active undef running
`-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=0 status=enabled
|- 8:0:12:0 sdae 65:224 active undef running
`- 9:0:12:0 sdbo 68:32 active undef running

$ ./sgio_inquiry /dev/mapper/85ag56
Some of the INQUIRY command's response:
IBM 2145 0000
INQUIRY duration=0 millisecs, resid=0

3) The ioctl() fails with ENOTTY errno with _no_ active paths present,
for unprivileged users (rather than blocking due to queue_if_no_path).

# for path in $(multipath -l 85ag56 | grep -o 'sd[a-z]\+'); \
do multipathd -k"fail path $path"; done

# multipath -l 85ag56
85ag56 (...) dm-19 IBM ,2145
size=60G features='1 queue_if_no_path' hwhandler='0' wp=rw
|-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=0 status=enabled
| |- 8:0:11:0 sdz 65:144 failed undef running
| `- 9:0:9:0 sdbf 67:144 failed undef running
`-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=0 status=enabled
|- 8:0:12:0 sdae 65:224 failed undef running
`- 9:0:12:0 sdbo 68:32 failed undef running

$ ./sgio_inquiry /dev/mapper/85ag56
sg_simple0: Inquiry SG_IO ioctl error: Inappropriate ioctl for device

4) dmesg shows that scsi_verify_blk_ioctl() failed for SG_IO (0x2285);
it returns -ENOIOCTLCMD, later replaced with -ENOTTY in vfs_ioctl().

$ dmesg
<...>
[] device-mapper: multipath: Failing path 65:144.

[] device-mapper: multipath: Failing path 65:224.
[] device-mapper: multipath: Failing path 68:32.
[] sgio_inquiry: sending ioctl 2285 to a partition!

5) The ioctl() only works if the SYS_CAP_RAWIO capability is present
(then queueing happens -- in this example, queue_if_no_path is set);
this is due to a conditional check in scsi_verify_blk_ioctl().

# capsh --drop=cap_sys_rawio -- -c './sgio_inquiry /dev/mapper/85ag56'
sg_simple0: Inquiry SG_IO ioctl error: Inappropriate ioctl for device

An invalid ioctl will never be valid, irrespective of whether multipath
has active paths or not. So for invalid ioctls we do not have to wait
for multipath to activate any paths, but can rather return an error
code immediately. This fix resolves numerous instances of:

udevd[]: worker [] unexpectedly returned with status 0x0100

that have been seen during testing.
