Hi,
By the way, I found two more issues.
This can be reproduced by causing a Failfast IO failure using the attached procedure.
I wrote patches for them. Would it make sense to send these as v4?
* raid1,raid10: IO error returned even when all writes succeed in narrow_write_error
When only one rdev remains, a failfast write bio is retried in
narrow_write_error() via handle_write_completed(). Even if all retries succeed,
R1BIO_Uptodate is not set. As a result, the upper layer get BLK_STS_IOERR.
This behavior appears to be intentional, under the assumption of at least one bad sector.
However, this behavior is undesirable for failfast retries.
In addition, although less likely, even on a normal HDD or SSD,
if all split writes succeed, the upper layer would still receive
BLK_STS_IOERR despite the write having ultimately completed successfully.
Of course, this does not apply if the other rdev writes succeed.
I'm not exactly sure how to handle the following point.
- Can a retried write be marked R1BIO_Uptodate after one failure in non-failfast?
- Should it only be marked Uptodate for failfast?
If retry succeed and no badblocks is set, we should set the IO uptodate,
return error to user is not good.
- Should failfast retries be handled outside narrow_write_error?
Please don't do this unless we have to.
For now, I attempt to set R1BIO_Uptodate whenever narrow_write_error() succeeds
and there are no bad blocks, regardless of MD_FAILFAST.
* raid10: no retry scheduled for failfast read failure
raid10_end_read_request lacks a path to retry when a FailFast IO fails.
As a result, when Failfast Read IOs fail on all rdevs,
the upper layer receives BLK_STS_IOERR without a retry,
Looking at the two commits below, it seems only raid10_end_read_request
lacks the failfast read retry handling, while raid1_end_read_request has it.
In RAID1, the retry works as expected.
I don't know why raid10_end_read_request lacks this, but it is probably
just a simple oversight.
- 8d3ca83dcf9c ("md/raid10: add failfast handling for reads.")
- 2e52d449bcec ("md/raid1: add failfast handling for reads.")
Yes, this looks correct.
Thanks,

Thank you for the patch. There may be an issue with 'test_and_clear'.
If two write IO go to the same rdev, MD_BROKEN may be set as below:
IO1 IO2Thank you for reviewing.
set FailfastIOFailure
set FailfastIOFailure
md_error
raid1_error
test_and_clear FailfastIOFailur
md_error
raid1_error
//FailfastIOFailur is cleared
set MD_BROKEN
Maybe we should check whether FailfastIOFailure is already set before
setting it. It also needs to be considered in metadata writes.
I agree, this seems to be as you described.
So, should it be implemented as follows?
bool old=false;
do{
spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags);
old = test_and_set_bit(FailfastIOFailure, &rdev->flags);
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags);
}while(old);
However, since I am concerned about potential deadlocks,
so I am considering two alternative approaches:
* Add an atomic_t counter to md_rdev to track failfast IO failures.
This may set MD_BROKEN at a slightly incorrect timing, but mixing
error handling of Failfast and non-Failfast IOs appears to be rare.
In any case, the final outcome would be the same, i.e. the array
ends up with MD_BROKEN. Therefore, I think this should not cause
issues. I think the same applies to test_and_set_bit.
IO1 IO2 IO3
FailfastIOFailure Normal IOFailure FailfastIOFailure
atomic_inc
md_error atomic_inc
raid1_error
atomic_dec //2to1
md_error
raid1_error md_error
atomic_dec //1to0 raid1_error
atomic_dec //0
set MD_BROKEN
* Alternatively, create a separate error handler,
e.g. md_error_failfast(), that clearly does not fail the array.
This approach would require somewhat larger changes and may not
be very elegant, but it seems to be a reliable way to ensure
MD_BROKEN is never set at the wrong timing.
Which of these three approaches would you consider preferable?
I would appreciate your feedback.
For metadata writes, I plan to clear_bit MD_FAILFAST_SUPPORTED
when the array is degraded.
Thanks,
Akagi
I took a closer look at the FailFast code and found a few issues, using
RAID1 as an example:
For normal read/write IO, FailFast is only triggered when there is another
disk is available, as seen in read_balance() and raid1_write_request().
In raid1_error(), MD_BROKEN is set only when no other disks are available.
Hi,
Agree, I think so too.
So, the FailFast for normal read/write is not triggered in the scenario you
described in cover-letter.
This corresponds to the case described in the commit message of PATCH v3 1/3.
"Normally, MD_FAILFAST IOs are not issued to the 'last' rdev, so this is
an edge case; however, it can occur if rdevs in a non-degraded
array share the same path and that path is lost, or if a metadata
write is triggered in a degraded array and fails due to failfast."
To describe it in more detail, the flow is as follows:
Prerequisites:
- Both rdevs are in-sync
- Both rdevs have in-flight MD_FAILFAST bios
- Both rdevs depend on the same lower-level path
(e.g., nvme-tcp over a single Ethernet interface)
Sequence:
- A bios with REQ_FAILFAST_DEV fails (e.g., due to a temporary network outage),
in the case of nvme-tcp:
- The Ethernet connection is lost on the node where md is running over 5 seconds
- Then the connection is restored. Idk the details of nvme-tcp implementation,
but it seems that failfast IOs finish only after the connection is back.
- All failfast bios fail, raid1_end_write_request is called.
- md_error() marks one rdev Faulty; the other rdev becomes the 'last' rdev.
- md_error() on the last rdev sets MD_BROKEN on the array - fail_last_dev=1 is unlikely.
- The write is retried via handle_write_finished -> narrow_write_error, usually succeeding.
- MD_BROKEN remains set, leaving the array in a state where no further writes can occur.
Thanks for your patient explanation. I understand. Maybe we need a separate
error-handling path for failfast. How about adding an extra parameter to md_error()?
Thank you for reviewing.
I am thinking of proceeding like as follows.
md_error is EXPORT_SYMBOL. I think that it is undesirable to change the ABI of this function.
It doesn't matter if it's a exported symbol, we should just keep code as
simple as possible.

I will prefer we add a common procedures to fix this problme.
How about the first patch to serialize all the md_error(), and then
and a new helper md_bio_failue_error(mddev, rdev, bio), called when
bio is failed, in this helper:
1) if bio is not failfast, call md_error() and return true; otherwise:
2) if rdev contain the last data copy, return false directly, caller
should check return value and retry, otherwise:
3) call md_error() and return true;
Hi,
I think this approach has some issues. There are cases where md_error is
called only when MD_FAILFAST is set.
One example is the processing below in raid1_end_write_request.
Then, for raid1, the callers will look like:

In the current raid1_end_write_request implementation,
- md_error is called only in the Failfast case.
- Afterwards, if the rdev is not Faulty (that is, not Failfast,
or Failfast but the last rdev — which originally was not expected
MD_BROKEN in RAID1), R1BIO_WriteError is set.
In the suggested implementation, it seems that a non-Failfast write
failure will immediately mark the rdev as Faulty, without retries.
This could be avoided by testing MD_FAILFAST before call the
new helper md_bio_failure_error, but I believe duplicating the
same check in both caller/callee would be undesirable.
Should we try to avoid modifying pers->error_handler?
One possible alternative approach is as follows.
- serialize calls to md_error regardless of whether Failfast or not
- raid{1,10}_error is:
- The remaining copy (rdev) is marked with the LastDev flag
- clear MD_FAILFAST_SUPPORTED for prohibit super_write using Failfast
- super_written will simply put MD_SB_NEED_REWRITE without calling
md_error when MD_FAILFAST bio and LastDev rdev.
After the changes, I believe it is rare for super_written to be called with error on
multiple rdevs due to failfast. super_write is caused by errors from normal failfast
IO and invoked via MD_SB_CHANGE_DEVS through the serialized raid1_error. Since
MD_FAILFAST_SUPPORTED is cleared, metadata writes occur without failfast.
It's not exactly a common procedure, but as it doesn't add functions to md.c,
I think this approach is preferable to adding md_error_failfast().

Kuai, do you have any suggestions?
Normal writes may call md_error() in narrow_write_error. Normal reads do
not execute md_error() on the last disk.
Perhaps you should get more information to confirm how MD_BROKEN is set in
normal read/write IO.
Should I add the above sequence of events to the cover letter, or commit message?
I think we should mention this in the commit message.
Understood. I will explicitly describe this in the commit message in v4.
Thanks,
Akagi
