request should be resend, otherwise page released from cache and
marked as error.
Severity : critical
Bugzilla : 13751
Description: Kernel patches update for RHEL5 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5.
Details : Modify target file & which_patch.
A flaw was found in the IA32 system call emulation provided
on AMD64 and Intel 64 platforms. An improperly validated 64-bit
value could be stored in the %RAX register, which could trigger an
out-of-bounds system call table access. An untrusted local user
could exploit this flaw to run code in the kernel
(ie a root privilege escalation). (CVE-2007-4573).
Severity : major
Bugzilla : 13093

Severity : normal
Bugzilla : 11673
Description: handle "serious error: objid * already exists" more gracefully
Details : If LAST_ID value on disk is smaller than the objects existing in
the O/0/d* directories, it indicates disk corruption and causes an
LBUG(). If the object is 0-length, then we should use the existing
object. This will help to avoid a full fsck in most cases.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 13207
Description: adapt the lustre_config script to support the upgrade case
Details : Add "-u" option for lustre_config script to support upgrading 1.4
server targets to 1.6 in parallel.
Severity : normal
Bugzilla : 13570
Description: To avoid grant space > avaible space when the disk is almost
full. Without this patch you might see the error "grant XXXX >
available" or some LBUG about grant, when the disk is almost
full.
Details : In filter_check_grant, for non_grant cache write, we should
check the left space by if (*left > ungranted + bytes), instead
of (*left > ungranted), because only we are sure the left space
is enough for another "bytes", then the ungrant space should be
increase. In client, we should update cl_avail_grant only there
is OBD_MD_FLGRANT in the reply.
Severity : critical
Bugzilla : 13748
Description: Update RHEL 4 kernel to fix local root privilege escalation.
Details : Update to the latest RHEL 4 kernel to fix the vulnerability

Description: parallel lock callbacks
Details : Instead of sending blocking and completion callbacks as separated
requests, adding them to a set and sending in parallel.
Severity : normal
Frequency : only for Cray XT3
Bugzilla : 12829/13455
Description: Changing primary group doesn't change the group lustre assigns to
a file
Details : When CRAY_XT3 is defined, the fsgid supplied by the client is
overridden with the primary group provided by the group upcall,
whereas the supplied fsgid can be trusted if it is in the list of
supplementary groups returned by the group upcall.

Check that request is still eligible for replay in
mdc_set_replay_data().
Severity : minor
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 11512
Description: disable writes to filesystem when reading health_check file
Details : the default for reading the health_check proc file has changed
to NOT do a journal transaction and write to disk, because this

Details : When osc reconnect ost, OST(filter) should check whether it
should grant more space to client by comparing fed_grant and
cl_avail_grant, and return the granted space to client instead
of "new granted" space, because client will call osc_init_grant
to update the client grant space info.
Severity : normal
Frequency : when client reconnect to OST
Bugzilla : 11662
Description: Grant Leak when osc do resend and replay bulk write
Details : When osc reconnect to OST, OST(filter)should clear grant info of
bulk write request, because the grant info while be sync between
OSC and OST when reconnect, and we should ignore the grant info
these of resend/replay write req.
Severity : normal
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 11662
Description: Grant space more than avaiable left space sometimes.
Details : When then OST is about to be full, if two bulk writing from
different clients came to OST. Accord the avaliable space of the OST, the first req should be permitted, and the second one
should be denied by ENOSPC. But if the seconde arrived before
the first one is commited. The OST might wrongly permit second
writing, which will cause grant space > avaiable space.
Severity : normal
Frequency : when client is evicted
Bugzilla : 12371
Description: Grant might be wrongly erased when osc is evicted by OST
Details : when the import is evicted by server, it will fork another
thread ptlrpc_invalidate_import_thread to invalidate the
import, where the grant will be set to 0. While the original
thread will update the grant it got when connecting. So if
the former happened latter, the grant will be wrongly errased
because of this race.

Description: Add uninit_groups feature to ldiskfs2 to speed up e2fsck
Details : The uninit_groups feature works in conjunction with the kernel
filesystem code (ldiskfs2 only) and e2fsprogs-1.39-cfs6 to speed
up the pass1 processing of e2fsck. This is a read-only feature
in ldiskfs2 only, so older kernels and current ldiskfs cannot
mount filesystems that have had this feature enabled.

Severity : critical
Frequency : occasional, depends on client load and configuration
Bugzilla : 12181, 12203
Description: data loss for recently-modified files
Introduced : 1.4.6
Details : In some cases it is possible that recently written or created
files may not be written to disk in a timely manner (this should
normally be within 30s unless client IO load is very high).
The problem appears as zero-length files or files that are a
multiple of 1MB in size after a client crash or client eviction
that are missing data at the end of the file.
This problem is more likely to be hit on clients where files are
repeatedly created and unlinked in the same directory, clients
have a large amount of RAM, have many CPUs, the filesystem has
many OSTs, the clients are rebooted frequently, and/or the files
are not accessed by other nodes after being written.
The presence of the problem can be detected by looking at
/proc/sys/fs/inode-state. If the first number (nr_inodes) is
smaller than the second (nr_unused) then dirty files will not
be flushed automatically to disk. "sync; sleep 10" should be
run several times on the node before unmounting it to update
Lustre (this is also safe to run on nodes without this problem).
There is also a related kernel bug in the RHEL4 4 2.6.9 kernel
that can cause this same problem, so customers using that kernel
also need to update the kernel in addition to Lustre. In order
to properly fix this bug, the RHEL3 2.4.21 kernel is also updated.
It is normal that files written just before a client crash (less
than 30s) may not yet have been flushed to disk, even for local
filesystems.

__vfs_follow_link
Severity : minor
Frequency : depends on hardware
Bugzilla : 11540
Description: lustre write performance loss in the SLES10 kernel
Details : the performance loss is caused by using of write barriers in the
ext3 code. The SLES10 kernel turns barrier support on by
default. The fix is to undo that change for ldiskfs.

Frequency : quota enabled and large files being deleted
Bugzilla : 10707
Description: releasing more than 4GB of quota at once hangs OST
Details : If a user deletes more than 4GB of files on a single OST it
will cause the OST to spin in an infinite loop. Release
quota in < 4GB chunks, or use a 64-bit value for 1.4.7.1+.
Severity : minor
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 10845
Description: statfs data retrieved from /proc may be stale or zero
Details : When reading per-device statfs data from /proc, in the
{kbytes,files}_{total,free,avail} files, it may appear
as zero or be out of date.
Severity : minor
Frequency : systems with MD RAID1 external journal devices
Bugzilla : 10832
Description: lconf's call to blkid is confused by RAID1 journal devices
Details : Use the "blkid -l" flag to locate the MD RAID device instead
of returning all block devices that match the journal UUID.
Severity : normal
Frequency : always, for aggregate stripe size over 4GB
Bugzilla : 10725
Description: "lfs setstripe" fails assertion when setting 4GB+ stripe width
Details : Using "lfs setstripe" to set stripe size * stripe count over 4GB
will fail the kernel with "ASSERTION(lsm->lsm_xfersize != 0)"
Severity : minor
Frequency : always if "lfs find" used on a local file/directory
Bugzilla : 10864
Description: "lfs find" segfaults if used on a local file/directory
Details : The case where a directory component was not specified wasn't
handled correctly. Handle this properly.
Severity : normal
Frequency : always on ppc64
Bugzilla : 10634
Description: the write to an ext3 filesystem mounted with mballoc got stuck
Details : ext3_mb_generate_buddy() uses find_next_bit() which does not
perform endianness conversion.
Severity : major
Frequency : rarely (truncate to non-zero file size after write under load)Bugzilla : 10730, 10687
Description: Files padded with zeros to next 4K multiple
Details : With filesystems mounted using the "extents" option (2.6 kernels)
it is possible that files that are truncated to a non-zero size
immediately after being written are filled with zero bytes beyond
the truncated size. No file data is lost.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 10452
Description: Allow recovery/failover for liblustre clients.
Details : liblustre clients were unaware of failover configurations until
now.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 10743
Description: user file locks should fail when not mounting with flock option
Details : Set up an error-returning stub in ll_file_operations.lock field
to prevent incorrect behaviour when client is mounted without
flock option. Also, set up properly f_op->flock field for
RHEL4 kernels.
Severity : minor
Frequency : always on ia64
Bugzilla : 10905
Description: "lfs df" loops on printing out MDS statfs information
Details : The obd_ioctl_data was not initialized and in some systems
this caused a failure during the ioctl that did not return
an error. Initialize the struct and return an error on failure.
Severity : minor
Frequency : SLES 9 only
Bugzilla : 10667
Description: Error of copying files with lustre special EAs as root
Details : Client side always return success for setxattr call for lustre
special xattr (currently only "trusted.lov").
Severity : normal
Frequency : rarely on clusters with both ia64+i386 clients
Bugzilla : 10672
Description: ia64+i686 clients doing shared IO on the same file may LBUG
Details : In rare cases when both ia64+i686 (or other mixed-PAGE_SIZE)
clients are doing concurrent writes to the same file it is
possible that the ia64 clients may LASSERT because the OST
extent locks are not PAGE_SIZE aligned. Ensure that grown
locks are always aligned on the request boundary.
Severity : normal
Frequency : specific use, occasional
Bugzilla : 7040
Description: Overwriting in use executable truncates on-disk binary image
Details : If one node attempts to overwrite an executable in use by
another node, we now correctly return ETXTBSY instead of
truncating the file.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 4900
Description: Async OSC create to avoid the blocking unnecessarily.
Details : If a OST has no remain object, system will block on the creating
when need to create a new object on this OST. Now, ways use
pre-created objects when available, instead of blocking on an
empty osc while others are not empty. If we must block, we block
for the shortest possible period of time.
Severity : normal
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 2707
Description: chmod on Lustre root is propagated to other clients
Details : Re-validate root's dentry in ll_lookup_it to avoid having it
invalid by the follow_mount time.
Severity : minor
Frequency : liblustre clients only
Bugzilla : 10883
Description: Race in 'instant cancel' lock handling could lead to such locks
never to be granted in case of SMP MDS
Details : Do not destroy not yet granted but cbpending locks in
handle_enqueue
Severity : minor
Frequency : replay/resend of open
Bugzilla : 10991
Description: non null lock assetion failure in mds_intent_policy
Details : Trying to replay/resend lockless open requests resulted in
mds_open() returning 0 with no lock. Now it sets a flag if
a lock is going to be returned.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 10889
Description: Checksum enhancements
Details : New checksum enhancements allow for resending RPCs that failed
checksum checks.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 7376
Description: Tunables on number of dirty pages in cacche
Details : Allow to set limit on number of dirty pages cached.
Severity : normal
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 10643
Description: client crash on unmount - lock still has references
Details : In some error handling cases it was possible to leak a lock
reference on a client while accessing a file. This was not
harmful to the client during operation, but would cause the
client to crash when the filesystem is unmounted.
Severity : normal
Frequency : specific case, rare
Bugzilla : 10921
Description: ETXTBSY on mds though file not in use by client
Details : ETXTBSY is no longer incorrectly returned when attempting to
chmod or chown a directory that the user previously tried to
execute or a currently-executing binary.
Severity : major
Frequency : extremely rare except on liblustre-based clients
Bugzilla : 10480
Description: Lustre space not freed when files are deleted
Details : Clean up open-unlinked files after client eviction. Previously
the unlink was skipped and the files remained as orphans.
Severity : normal
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 10999
Description: OST failure "would be an LBUG" in waiting_locks_callback()
Details : In some cases it was possible to send a blocking callback to
a client doing a glimpse, even though that client didn't get
a lock granted. When the glimpse lock is cancelled on the OST
the freed lock is left on the waiting list and corrupted the list.
Severity : major
Frequency : all core dumps
Bugzilla : 11103
Description: Broke core dumps to lustre
Details : Negative dentry may be unhashed if parent does not have UPDATE
lock, but some callers, e.g. do_coredump, expect dentry to be
hashed after successful create, hash it in ll_create_it.

* bug fixes
Severity : major
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 5719, 9635, 9792, 9684
Description: OST (or MDS) trips assertions in (re)connection under heavy load
Details : If a server is under heavy load and cannot reply to new
connection requests before the client resends the (re)connect,
the connection handling code can behave badly if two service
threads are concurrently handing separate (re)connections from
the same client. Add better locking to the connection handling
code, and ensure that only a single connection will be processed
for a given client UUID, even if the lock is dropped.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 3627
Description: add TCP zero-copy support to kernel
Details : Add support to the kernel TCP stack to allow zero-copy bulk
sends if the hardware supports scatter-gather and checksumming.
This allows socklnd to do client-write and server-read more
efficiently and reduce CPU utilization from skbuf copying.
Severity : minor
Frequency : only if NFS exporting from client
Bugzilla : 10258
Description: NULL pointer deref in ll_iocontrol() if chattr mknod file
Details : If setting attributes on a file created under NFS that had
never been opened it would be possible to oops the client
if the file had no objects.
Severity : minor
Frequency : always for liblustre
Bugzilla : 10290
Description: liblustre client does MDS+OSTs setattr RPC for each write
Details : When doing a write from a liblustre client, the client
incorrectly issued an RPC to the MDS and each OST the file was
striped over in order to update the timestamps. When writing
with small chunks and many clients this could overwhelm the MDS
with RPCs. In all cases it would slow down the write because
these RPCs are unnecessary.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 9340
Description: allow number of MDS service threads to be changed at module loadDetails : It is now possible to change the number of MDS service threads
running. Adding "options mds mds_num_threads={N}" to the MDS's
/etc/modprobe.conf will set the number of threads for the next
time Lustre is restarted (assuming the "mds" module is also
reloaded at that time). The default number of threads will
stay the same, 32 for most systems.
Severity : major
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 10300
Description: OST crash if filesystem is unformatted or corrupt
Details : If an OST is started on a device that has never been formatted
or if the filesystem is corrupt and cannot even mount then the
error handling cleanup routines would dereference a NULL pointer.
Severity : medium
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 10047
Description: NULL pointer deref in llap_from_page.
Details : get_cache_page_nowait can return a page with NULL (or otherwise
incorrect) mapping if the page was truncated/reclaimed while it was
searched for. Check for this condition and skip such pages when
doing readahead. Introduce extra check to llap_from_page() to
verify page->mapping->host is non-NULL (so page is not anonymous).
Severity : minor
Frequency : Sometimes when using sys_sendfile
Bugzilla : 7020
Description: "page not covered by a lock" warnings from ll_readpage
Details : sendfile called ll_readpage without right page locks present.
Now we introduced ll_file_sendfile that does necessary locking
around call to generic_file_sendfile() much like we do in
ll_file_read().
Severity : medium
Frequency : with certain MDS communication failures at client mount time
Bugzilla : 10268
Description: NULL pointer deref after failed client mount
Details : a client connection request may delayed by the network layer
and not be sent until after the PTLRPC layer has timed out the
request. If the client fails the mount immediately it will try
to clean up before the network times out the request. Add a
reference from the request import to the obd device and delay
the cleanup until the network drops the request.
Severity : medium
Frequency : occasionally during client (re)connect
Bugzilla : 9387
Description: assertion failure during client (re)connect
Details : processing a client connection request may be delayed by the
client or server longer than the client connect timeout. This
causes the client to resend the connection request. If the
original connection request is replied in this interval, the
client may trip an assertion failure in ptlrpc_connect_interpret()
which thought it would be the only running connect process.
Severity : medium
Frequency : only with obd_echo servers and clients that are rebooted
Bugzilla : 10140
Description: kernel BUG accessing uninitialized data structure
Details : When running an obd_echo server it did not start the ping_evictor
thread, and when a client was evicted an uninitialized data
structure was accessed. Start the ping_evictor in the RPC
service startup instead of the OBD startup.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 10193 (patchless)
Description: Remove dependency on various unexported kernel interfaces.
Details : No longer need reparent_to_init, exit_mm, exit_files,
sock_getsockopt, filemap_populate, FMODE_EXEC, put_filp.
Severity : minor
Frequency : rare (only users of deprecated and unsupported LDAP config)
Bugzilla : 9337
Description: write_conf for zeroconf mount queried LDAP incorrectly for client
Details : LDAP apparently contains 'lustreName' attributes instead of
'name'. A simple remapping of the name is sufficient.
Severity : major
Frequency : rare (only with non-default dump_on_timeout debug enabled)
Bugzilla : 10397
Description: waiting_locks_callback trips kernel BUG if client is evicted
Details : Running with the dump_on_timeout debug flag turned on makes
it possible that the waiting_locks_callback() can try to dump
the Lustre kernel debug logs from an interrupt handler. Defer
this log dumping to the expired_lock_main() thread.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 10420
Description: Support NFS exporting on 2.6 kernels.
Details : Implement non-rawops metadata methods for NFS server to use without
changing NFS server code.
Severity : medium
Frequency : very rare (synthetic metadata workload only)
Bugzilla : 9974
Description: two racing renames might cause an MDS thread to deadlock
Details : Running the "racer" program may cause one MDS thread to rename
a file from being the source of a rename to being the target of
a rename at exactly the same time that another thread is doing
so, and the second thread has already enqueued these locks after
doing a lookup of the target and is trying to relock them in
order. Ensure that we don't try to re-lock the same resource.
Severity : major
Frequency : only very large systems with liblustre clients
Bugzilla : 7304
Description: slow eviction of liblustre clients with the "evict_by_nid" RPC
Details : Use asynchronous set_info RPCs to send the "evict_by_nid" to
all OSTs in parallel. This allows the eviction of stale liblustre
clients to proceed much faster than if they were done in series,
and also offers similar improvements for other set_info RPCs.
Severity : minor
Frequency : common
Bugzilla : 10265
Description: excessive CPU usage during initial read phase on client
Details : During the initial read phase on a client, it would agressively
retry readahead on the file, consuming too much CPU and impacting
performance (since 1.4.5.8). Improve the readahead algorithm
to avoid this, and also improve some other common cases (read
of small files in particular, where "small" is files smaller than
/proc/fs/lustre/llite/*/max_read_ahead_whole_mb, 2MB by default).
Severity : minor
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 10450
Description: MDS crash when receiving packet with unknown intent.
Details : Do not LBUG in unknown intent case, just return -EFAULT
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 9293, 9385
Description: MDS RPCs are serialised on client. This is unnecessary for some.
Details : Do not serialize getattr (non-intent version) and statfs.
Severity : minor
Frequency : occasional, when OST network is overloaded/intermittent
Bugzilla : 10416
Description: client evicted by OST after bulk IO timeout
Details : If a client sends a bulk IO request (read or write) the OST may evict the client if it is unresposive to its data GET/PUT
request. This is incorrect if the network is overloaded (takes
too long to transfer the RPC data) or dropped the OST GET/PUT
request. There is no need to evict the client at all, since
the pinger and/or lock callbacks will handle this, and the
client can restart the bulk request.
Severity : minor
Frequency : Always when mmapping file with no objects
Bugzilla : 10438
Description: client crashes when mmapping file with no objects
Details : Check that we actually have objects in a file before doing any
operations on objects in ll_vm_open, ll_vm_close and
ll_glimpse_size.
Severity : minor
Frequency : Rare
Bugzilla : 10484
Description: Request leak when working with deleted CWD
Details : Introduce advanced request refcount tracking for requests
referenced from lustre intent.
Severity : Enhancement
Bugzilla : 10482
Description: Cache open file handles on client.
Details : MDS now will return special lock along with openhandle, if
requested and client is allowed to hold openhandle, even if unused,
until such a lock is revoked. Helps NFS a lot, since NFS is opening
closing files for every read/write openration.
Severity : Enhancement
Bugzilla : 9291
Description: Cache open negative dentries on client when possible.
Details : Guard negative dentries with UPDATE lock on parent dir, drop
negative dentries on lock revocation.
Severity : minor
Frequency : Always
Bugzilla : 10510
Description: Remounting a client read-only wasn't possible with a zconf mount
Details : It wasn't possible to remount a client read-only with llmount.
Severity : enhancement
Description: Include MPICH 1.2.6 Lustre ADIO interface patch
Details : In lustre/contrib/ or /usr/share/lustre in RPM a patch for
MPICH is included to add Lustre-specific ADIO interfaces.
This is based closely on the UFS ADIO layer and only differs
in file creation, in order to allow the OST striping to be set.
This is user-contributed code and not supported by CFS.
Severity : minor
Frequency : Always
Bugzilla : 9486
Description: extended inode attributes (immutable, append-only) work improperly
when 2.4 and 2.6 kernels are used on client/server or vice versa
Details : Introduce kernel-independent values for these flags.
Severity : enhancement
Frequency : Always
Bugzilla : 10248
Description: Allow fractional MB tunings for lustre in /proc/ filesystem.
Details : Many of the /proc/ tunables can only be tuned at a megabyte
granularity. Now, Fractional MB granularity is be supported,
this is very useful for low memory system.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 9292
Description: Getattr by fid
Details : Getting a file attributes by its fid, obtaining UPDATE|LOOKUP
locks, avoids extra getattr rpc requests to MDS, allows '/' to have locks and avoids getattr rpc requests for it on every stat.
Severity : major
Frequency : Always, for filesystems larger than 2TB
Bugzilla : 6191
Description: ldiskfs crash at mount for filesystem larger than 2TB with mballoc
Details : Kenrel kmalloc limits allocations to 128kB and this prevents
filesystems larger than 2TB to be mounted with mballoc enabled.
Severity : critical
Frequency : Always, for 32-bit kernel without CONFIG_LBD and filesystem > 2TB
Bugzilla : 6191
Description: ldiskfs crash at mount for filesystem larger than 2TB with mballoc
Details : If a 32-bit kernel is compiled without CONFIG_LBD enabled and a
filesystems larger than 2TB is mounted then the kernel will
silently corrupt the start of the filesystem. CONFIG_LBD is
enabled for all CFS-supported kernels, but the possibility of
this happening with a modified kernel config exists.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 10462
Description: add client O_DIRECT support for 2.6 kernels
Details : It is now possible to do O_DIRECT reads and writes to files
in the Lustre client mountpoint on 2.6 kernel clients.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 10446
Description: parallel glimpse, setattr, statfs, punch, destroy requests
Details : Sends glimpse, setattr, statfs, punch, destroy requests to OSTs in
parallel, not waiting for response from every OST before sending
a rpc to the next OST.
Severity : minor
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 10150
Description: setattr vs write race when updating file timestamps
Details : Client processes that update a file timestamp into the past
right after writing to the file (e.g. tar) it is possible that
the updated file modification time can be reset to the current
time due to a race between processing the setattr and write RPC.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 10318
Description: Bring 'lfs find' closer in line with regular Linux find.
Details : lfs find util supports -atime, -mtime, -ctime, -maxdepth, -print,
-print0 options and obtains all the needed info through the lustre
ioctls.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 6221
Description: support up to 1024 configured devices on one node
Details : change obd_dev array from statically allocated to dynamically
allocated structs as they are first used to reduce memory usage
Severity : minor
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 10437
Description: Flush dirty partially truncated pages during truncate
Details : Immediatelly flush partially truncated pages in filter_setattr,
this way we completely avoid having any pages in page cache on OST
and can retire ugly workarounds during writes to flush such pages.
Severity : minor
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 10409
Description: i_sem vs transaction deadlock in mds_obd_destroy during unlink.
Details : protect inode from truncation within vfs_unlink() context
just take a reference before calling vfs_unlink() and release it
when parent's i_sem is free.
Severity : major
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 4778
Description: last_id value checked outside lock on OST caused LASSERT failure
Details : If there were multiple MDS->OST object precreate requests in
flight, it was possible that the OST's last object id was checked
outside a lock and incorrectly tripped an assertion. Move checks
inside locks, and discard old precreate requests.
Severity : minor
Frequency : always, if extents are used on OSTs
Bugzilla : 10703
Description: index ei_leaf_hi (48-bit extension) is not zeroed in extent index
Details : OSTs using the extents format would not zero the high 16 bits of
the index physical block number. This is not a problem for any
OST filesystems smaller than 16TB, and no kernels support ext3
filesystems larger than 16TB yet. This is fixed in 1.4.7 (all
new/modified files) and can be fixed for existing filesystems
with e2fsprogs-1.39-cfs1.
Severity : minor
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 9387
Description: import connection selection may be incorrect if timer wraps
Details : Using a 32-bit jiffies timer with HZ=1000 may cause backup
import connections to be ignored if the 32-bit jiffies counter
wraps. Use a 64-bit jiffies counter.
Severity : minor
Frequency : very large clusters immediately after boot
Bugzilla : 10083
Description: LNET request buffers exhausted under heavy short-term load
Details : If a large number of client requests are generated on a service
that has previously never seen so many requests it is possible
that the request buffer growth cannot keep up with the spike in
demand. Instead of dropping incoming requests, they are held in
the LND until the RPC service can accept more requests.
Severity : minor
Frequency : Sometimes during replay
Bugzilla : 9314
Description: Assertion failure in ll_local_open after replay.
Details : If replay happened on an open request reply before we were able
to set replay handler, reply will become not swabbed tripping the
assertion in ll_local_open. Now we set the handler right after
recognising of open request
Severity : trivial
Frequency : very rare
Bugzilla : 10584
Description: kernel reports "badness in vsnprintf"
Details : Reading from the "recovery_status" /proc file in small chunks
may cause a negative length in lprocfs_obd_rd_recovery_status()
call to vsnprintf() (which is otherwise harmless). Exit early
if there is no more space in the output buffer.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 2259
Description: clear OBD RPC statistics by writing to them
Details : It is now possible to clear the OBD RPC statistics by writing
to the "stats" file.
Severity : minor
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 10641
Description: Client mtime is not the same on different clients after utimes
Details : In some cases, the client was using the utimes() syscall on
a file cached on another node. The clients now validate the
ctime from the MDS + OSTs to determine which one is right.
Severity : minor
Frequency : always
Bugzilla : 10611
Description: Inability to activate failout mode
Details : lconf script incorrectly assumed that in pythong string's numeric
value is used in comparisons.
Severity : minor
Frequency : always with multiple stripes per file
Bugzilla : 10671
Description: Inefficient object allocation for mutli-stripe files
Details : When selecting which OSTs to stripe files over, for files with
a stripe count that divides evenly into the number of OSTs,
the MDS is always picking the same starting OST for each file.
Return the OST selection heuristic to the original design.
Severity : trivial
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 10673
Description: mount failures may take full timeout to return an error
Details : Under some heavy load conditions it is possible that a
failed mount can wait for the full obd_timeout interval,
possibly several minutes, before reporting an error.
Instead return an error as soon as the status is known.
Severity : major
Frequency : quota enabled and large files being deleted
Bugzilla : 10707
Description: releasing more than 4GB of quota at once hangs OST
Details : If a user deletes more than 4GB of files on a single OST it
will cause the OST to spin in an infinite loop. Release
quota in < 4GB chunks, or use a 64-bit value for 1.4.7.1+.
Severity : trivial
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 10845
Description: statfs data retrieved from /proc may be stale or zero
Details : When reading per-device statfs data from /proc, in the
{kbytes,files}_{total,free,avail} files, it may appear
as zero or be out of date.
Severity : trivial
Frequency : systems with MD RAID1 external journal devices
Bugzilla : 10832
Description: lconf's call to blkid is confused by RAID1 journal devices
Details : Use the "blkid -l" flag to locate the MD RAID device instead
of returning all block devices that match the journal UUID.
Severity : normal
Frequency : always, for aggregate stripe size over 4GB
Bugzilla : 10725
Description: assertion fails when trying to use 4GB stripe size
Details : Use "setstripe" to set stripe size over 4GB will fail the kernel,
complaining "ASSERTION(lsm->lsm_xfersize != 0)"
Severity : normal
Frequency : always on ppc64
Bugzilla : 10634
Description: the first write on an ext3 filesystem with mballoc got stuck

* WARNING: Lustre networking configuration changes are required with
this release. See https://bugzilla.clusterfs.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10052 for details.
* bug fixes
* Support for kernels:
2.6.9-22.0.2.EL (RHEL 4)
2.6.5-7.244 (SLES 9)
2.6.12.6 vanilla (kernel.org)
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 7981/8208
Description: Introduced Lustre Networking (LNET)
Details : LNET is new networking infrastructure for Lustre, it includes
a reorganized network configuration mode (see the user
documentation for full details) as well as support for routing
between different network fabrics. Lustre Networking Devices
(LNDs) for the supported network fabrics have also been
created for this new infrastructure.
Severity : enhancement
Description: Introduced Access control lists
Details : clients can set ACLs on files and directories in order to have
more fine-grained permissions than the standard Unix UGO+RWX.
The MDS must be started with the "-o acl" mount option.
Severity : enhancement
Description: Introduced filesystem quotas
Details : Administrators may now establish per-user quotas on the
filesystem.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 7982
Description: Configuration change for the XT3
The PTLLND is now used to run Lustre over Portals on the XT3
The configure option(s) --with-cray-portals are no longer used.
Rather --with-portals=<path-to-portals-includes> is used to
enable building on the XT3. In addition to enable XT3 specific
features the option --enable-cray-xt3 must be used.
Severity : major
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 7407
Description: Running on many-way SMP OSTs can trigger oops in llcd_send()
Details : A race between allocating a new llcd and re-getting the llcd_lock
allowed another thread to grab newly-allocated llcd.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 7116
Description: 2.6 OST async journal commit and locking fix to improve performance
Details : The filter_direct_io()+filter_commitrw_write() journal commits for
2.6 kernels are now async as they already were in 2.4 kernels so
that they can commit concurrently with the network bulk transfer.
For block-allocated files the filter allocation semaphore is held
to avoid filesystem fragmentation during allocation. BKL lock
removed for 2.6 xattr operations where it is no longer needed.
Severity : minor
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 8320
Description: lconf incorrectly determined whether two IP networks could talk
Details : In some more complicated routing and multiple-network
configurations, lconf will avoid trying to make a network
connection to a disjoint part of the IP space. It was doing the
math incorrectly for one set of cases.
Severity : major
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 7359
Description: Fix for potential infinite loop processing records in an llog.
Details : If an llog record is corrupted/zeroed, it is possible to loop
forever in llog_process(). Validate the llog record length and skip the remainder of the block on error.
Severity : minor
Frequency : occasional (liblustre only)
Bugzilla : 6363
Description: liblustre could not open files whose last component is a symlink
Details : sysio_path_walk() would incorrectly pass the open intent to
intermediate path components.
Severity : minor
Frequency : rare (liblustre only with non-standard tuning)
Bugzilla : 7201 (7350)
Description: Tuning the MDC DLM LRU size to zero triggers client LASSERT
Details : llu_lookup_finish_locks() tries to set lock data on a lock
after it has been released, only do this for referenced locks
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 7328
Description: specifying an (invalid) directory default stripe_size of -1
would reset the directory default striping
Details : stripe_size -1 was used internally to signal directory stripe
removal, now use "all default" to signal dir stripe removal
as a directory striping of "all default" is not useful
Severity : minor
Frequency : common for large clusters running liblustre clients
Bugzilla : 7198
Description: doing an ls when liblustre clients are running is slow
Details : sending a glimpse AST to a liblustre client waits for every AST
to time out, as liblustre clients will not respond. Since they
cannot cache data we refresh the OST lock LVB from disk instead.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 7198
Description: doing an ls at the same time as file IO can be slow
Details : enqueue and other "small" requests can be blocked behind many
large IO requests. Create a new OST IO portal for non-IO
requests so they can be processed faster.
Severity : minor
Frequency : rare (only HPUX clients mounting unsupported re-exported NFS vol)
Bugzilla : 5781
Description: an HPUX NFS client would get -EACCESS when ftruncate()ing a newly
created file with mode 000
Details : the Linux NFS server relies on an MDS_OPEN_OWNEROVERRIDE hack to
allow an ftruncate() as a non-root user to a file with mode 000.
Lustre now respects this flag to disable mode checks when
truncating a file owned by the user
Severity : minor
Frequency : liblustre-only, when liblustre client dies unexpectedly or becomes
busy
Bugzilla : 7313
Description: Revoking locks from clients that went dead or catatonic might take
a lot of time.
Details : New lock flags FL_CANCEL_ON_BLOCK used by liblustre makes
cancellation of such locks instant on servers without waiting for
any reply from clients. Clients drops these locks when cancel
notification from server is received without replying.
Severity : minor
Frequency : liblustre-only, when liblustre client dies or becomes busy
Bugzilla : 7311
Description: Doing ls on Linux clients can take a long time with active
liblustre clients
Details : Liblustre client cannot handle ASTs in timely manner, so avoid
granting such locks to it in the first place if possible. Locks
are taken by proxy on the OST during the read or write and
dropped immediately afterward. Add connect flags handling, do
not grant locks to liblustre clients for glimpse ASTs.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 6252
Description: Improve read-ahead algorithm to avoid excessive IO for random reads
Details : Existing read-ahead algorithm is tuned for the case of streamlined
sequential reads and behaves badly with applications doing random
reads. Improve it by reading ahead at least read region, and
avoiding excessive large RPC for small reads.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 8330
Description: Creating more than 1000 files for a single job may cause a load
imbalance on the OSTs if there are also a large number of OSTs.
Details : qos_prep_create() uses an OST index reseed value that is an
even multiple of the number of available OSTs so that if the
reseed happens in the middle of the object allocation it will
still utilize the OSTs as uniformly as possible.
Severity : major
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 8322
Description: OST or MDS may oops in ping_evictor_main()
Details : ping_evictor_main() drops obd_dev_lock if deleting a stale export
but doesn't restart at beginning of obd_exports_timed list
afterward.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 7304
Description: improve by-nid export eviction on the MDS and OST
Details : allow multiple exports with the same NID to be evicted at one
time without re-searching the exports list.
Severity : major
Frequency : rare, only with supplementary groups enabled on SMP 2.6 kernels
Bugzilla : 7273
Description: MDS may oops in groups_free()
Details : in rare race conditions a newly allocated group_info struct is
freed again, and this can be NULL. The 2.4 compatibility code
for groups_free() checked for a NULL pointer, but 2.6 did not.
Severity : minor
Frequency : common for liblustre clients doing little filesystem IO
Bugzilla : 9352, 7313
Description: server may evict liblustre clients accessing contended locks
Details : if a client is granted a lock or receives a completion AST
with a blocking AST already set it would not reply to the AST
for LDLM_FL_CANCEL_ON_BLOCK locks. It now replies to such ASTs.
Severity : minor
Frequency : lfs setstripe, only systems with more than 160 OSTs
Bugzilla : 9440
Description: unable to set striping with a starting offset beyond OST 160
Details : llapi_create_file() incorrectly limited the starting stripe
index to the maximum single-file stripe count.
Severity : minor
Frequency : LDAP users only
Bugzilla : 6163
Description: lconf did not handle in-kernel recovery with LDAP properly
Details : lconf/LustreDB get_refs() is searching the wrong namespace
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 7342
Description: bind OST threads to NUMA nodes to improve performance
Details : all OST threads are uniformly bound to CPUs on a single NUMA
node and do their allocations there to localize memory access
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 7979
Description: llmount can determine client NID directly from Myrinet (GM)Details : the client NID code from gmnalnid was moved directly into
llmount, removing the need to use this or specifying the
client NID explicitly when mounting GM clients with zeroconf
Severity : minor
Frequency : if client is started with down MDS
Bugzilla : 7184
Description: if client is started with down MDS mount hangs in ptlrpc_queue_wait
Details : Having an LWI_INTR() wait event (interruptible, but no timeout)
will wait indefinitely in ptlrpc_queue_wait->l_wait_event() after
ptlrpc_import_delayed_req() because we didn't check if the
request was interrupted, and we also didn't break out of the
event loop if there was no timeout
Severity : major
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 5047
Description: data loss during non-page-aligned writes to a single file from
both multiple nodes and multiple threads on one node at same time
Details : updates to KMS and lsm weren't protected by common lock. Resulting
inconsistency led to false short-reads, that were cached and later
used by ->prepare_write() to fill in partially written page,
leading to data loss.
Severity : minor
Frequency : always, if lconf --abort_recovery used
Bugzilla : 7047
Description: lconf --abort_recovery fails with 'Operation not supported'
Details : lconf was attempting to abort recovery on the MDT device and not
the MDS device
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 9445
Description: remove cleanup logs
Details : replace lconf-generated cleanup logs with lustre internal
cleanup routines. Eliminates the need for client-cleanup and
mds-cleanup logs.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 8592
Description: add support for EAs (user and system) on lustre filesystems
Details : it is now possible to store extended attributes in the Lustre
client filesystem, and with the user_xattr mount option it
is possible to allow users to store EAs on their files also
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 7293
Description: Add possibility (config option) to show minimal available OST free
space.
Details : When compiled with --enable-mindf configure option, statfs(2)
(and so, df) will return least minimal free space available from
all OSTs as amount of free space on FS, instead of summary of
free spaces of all OSTs.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 7311
Description: do not expand extent locks acquired on OST-side
Details : Modify ldlm_extent_policy() to not expand local locks, acquired
by server: they are not cached anyway.
Severity : major
Frequency : when mmap is used/binaries executed from Lustre
Bugzilla : 9482
Description: Unmmap pages before throwing them away from read cache.
Details : llap_shrink cache now attempts to unmap pages before discarding
them (if unmapping failed - do not discard). SLES9 kernel has
extra checks that trigger if this unmapping is not done first.
Severity : minor
Frequency : rareBugzilla : 6034
Description: lconf didn't resolve symlinks before checking to see whether a
given mountpoint was already in use
Severity : minor
Frequency : when migrating failover services
Bugzilla : 6395, 9514
Description: When migrating a subset of services from a node (e.g. failback
from a failover service node) the remaining services would
time out and evict clients.
Details : lconf --force (implied by --failover) sets the global obd_timeout
to 5 seconds in order to quickly disconnect, but this caused
other RPCs to time out too quickly. Do not change the global
obd_timeout for force cleanup, only set it for DISCONNECT RPCs.
Severity : enhancement
Frequency : if MDS is started with down OST
Bugzilla : 9439,5706
Description: Allow startup/shutdown of an MDS without depending on the
availability of the OSTs.
Details : Asynchronously call mds_lov_synchronize during MDS startup.
Add appropriate locking and lov-osc refcounts for safe
cleaning. Add osc abort_inflight calls in case the
synchronize never started.
Severity : minor
Frequency : occasional (Cray XT3 only)
Bugzilla : 7305
Description: root not authorized to access files in CRAY_PORTALS environment
Details : The client process capabilities were not honoured on the MDS in
a CRAY_PORTALS/CRAY_XT3 environment. If the file had previously
been accessed by an authorized user then root was able to access
the file on the local client also. The root user capabilities
are now allowed on the MDS, as this environment has secure UID.
Severity : minor
Frequency : occasional
Bugzilla : 6449
Description: ldiskfs "too long searching" message happens too often
Details : A debugging message (otherwise harmless) prints too often on
the OST console. This has been reduced to only happen when
there are fragmentation problems on the filesystem.
Severity : minor
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 9598
Description: Division by zero in statfs when all OSCs are inactive
Details : lov_get_stripecnt() returns zero due to incorrect order of checks,
lov_statfs divides by value returned by lov_get_stripecnt().
Severity : minor
Frequency : common
Bugzilla : 9489, 3273
Description: First write from each client to each OST was only 4kB in size,
to initialize client writeback cache, which caused sub-optimal
RPCs and poor layout on disk for the first writen file.
Details : Clients now request an initial cache grant at (re)connect time
and so that they can start streaming writes to the cache right
away and always do full-sized RPCs if there is enough data.
If the OST is rebooted the client also re-establishes its grant
so that client cached writes will be honoured under the grant.
Severity : minor
Frequency : common
Bugzilla : 7198
Description: Slow ls (and stat(2) syscall) on files residing on IO-loaded OSTs
Details : Now I/O RPCs go to different portal number and (presumably) fast
lock requests (and glimses) and other RPCs get their own service
threads pool that should be able to service those RPCs
immediatelly.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 7417
Description: Ability to exchange lustre version between client and servers and
issue warnings at client side if client is too old. Also for
liblustre clients there is ability to refuse connection of too old
clients.
Details : New 'version' field is added to connect data structure that is
filled with version info. That info is later checked by server and
by client.
Severity : minor
Frequency : rare, liblustre only.
Bugzilla : 9296, 9581
Description: Two simultaneous writes from liblustre at offset within same page
might proceed at the same time overwriting eachother with stale
data.
Details : I/O lock withing llu_file_prwv was released too early, before data
actually was hitting the wire. Extended lock-holding time until
server acknowledges receiving data.
Severity : minor
Frequency : extremely rare. Never observed in practice.
Bugzilla : 9652
Description: avoid generating lustre_handle cookie of 0.
Details : class_handle_hash() generates handle cookies by incrementing
global counter, and can hit 0 occasionaly (this is unlikely, but
not impossible, because initial value of cookie counter is
selected randonly). Value of 0 is used as a sentinel meaning
"unassigned handle" --- avoid it. Also coalesce two critical
sections in this function into one.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 9528
Description: allow liblustre clients to delegate truncate locking to OST
Details : To avoid overhead of locking, liblustre client instructs OST to
take extent lock in ost_punch() on client's behalf. New connection
flag is added to handle backward compatibility.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 4928, 7341, 9758
Description: allow number of OST service threads to be specified
Details : a module parameter allows the number of OST service threads
to be specified via "options ost ost_num_threads={N}" in the
OSS's /etc/modules.conf or /etc/modprobe.conf.
Severity : major
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 6146, 9635, 9895
Description: servers crash with bad pointer in target_handle_connect()
Details : In rare cases when a client is reconnecting it was possible that
the connection request was the last reference for that export.
We would temporarily drop the export reference and get a new
one, but this may have been the last reference and the export
was just destroyed. Get new reference before dropping old one.
Severity : enhancement
Frequency : if client is started with failover MDS
Bugzilla : 9818
Description: Allow multiple MDS hostnames in the mount command
Details : Try to read the configuration from all specified MDS
hostnames during a client mount in case the "primary"
MDS is down.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 9297
Description: Stop sending data to evicted clients as soon as possible.
Details : Check if the client we are about to send or are sending data to
was evicted already. (Check is done every second of waiting,
for which l_wait_event interface was extended to allow checking of exit condition at specified intervals).
Severity : minor
Frequency : rare, normally only when NFS exporting is done from client
Bugzilla : 9301
Description: 'bad disk LOV MAGIC: 0x00000000' error when chown'ing files
without objects
Details : Make mds_get_md() recognise empty md case and set lmm size to 0.
Severity : minor
Frequency : always, if srand() is called before liblustre initialization
Bugzilla : 9794
Description: Liblustre uses system PRNG disturbing its usage by user application
Details : Introduce internal to lustre fast and high-quality PRNG for
lustre usage and make liblustre and some other places in generic
lustre code to use it.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 9477, 9557, 9870
Description: Verify that the MDS configuration logs are updated when xml is
Details : Check if the .xml configuration logs are newer than the config
logs stored on the MDS and report an error if this is the case.
Request --write-conf, or allow starting with --old_conf.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 6034
Description: Handle symlinks in the path when checking if Lustre is mounted.
Details : Resolve intermediate symlinks when checking if a client has
mounted a filesystem to avoid duplicate client mounts.
Severity : minor
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 9309
Description: lconf can hit an error exception but still return success.
Details : The lconf command catches the Command error exception at the top
level script context and will exit with the associated exit
status, but doesn't ensure that this exit status is non-zero.
Severity : minor
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 9493
Description: failure of ptlrpc thread startup can cause oops
Details : Starting a ptlrpc service thread can fail if there are a large
number of threads or the server memory is very fragmented.
Handle this without oopsing.
Severity : minor
Frequency : always, only if liblustre and non-default acceptor port was used
Bugzilla : 9933
Description: liblustre cannot connect to servers with non-default acceptor port
Details : tcpnal_set_default_params() was not called and was therefore
ignoring the environment varaible TCPNAL_PORT, as well as other
TCPNAL_ environment variables
Severity : minor
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 9923
Description: two objects could be created on the same OST for a single file
Details : If an OST is down, in some cases it was possible to create two
objects on a single OST for a single file. No problems other
than potential performance impact and spurious error messages.
Severity : minor
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 5681, 9562
Description: Client may oops in ll_unhash_aliases
Details : Client dcache may become inconsistent in race condition.
In some cases "getcwd" can fail if the current directory is
modified.
Severity : minor
Frequency : always
Bugzilla : 9942
Description: Inode refcounting problems in NFS export code
Details : link_raw functions used to call d_instantiate without obtaining
extra inode reference first.
Severity : minor
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 9942, 9903
Description: Referencing freed requests leading to crash, memleaks with NFS.
Details : We used to require that call to ll_revalidate_it was always
followed by ll_lookup_it. Also with revalidate_special() it is
possible to call ll_revalidate_it() twice for the same dentry
even if first occurence returned success. This fix changes semantic
between DISP_ENQ_COMPLETE disposition flag to mean there is extra
reference on a request referred from the intent.
ll_intent_release() then releases such a request.
Severity : minor
Frequency : rare, normally benchmark loads only
Bugzilla : 1443
Description: unlinked inodes were kept in memory on the client
Details : If a client is repeatedly creating and unlinking files it
can accumulate a lot of stale inodes in the inode slab cache.
If there is no other client load running this can cause the
client node to run out of memory. Instead flush old inodes
from client cache that have the same inode number as a new inode.
Severity : minor
Frequency : SLES9 2.6.5 kernel and long filenames only
Bugzilla : 9969, 10379
Description: utime reports stale NFS file handle
Details : SLES9 uses out-of-dentry names in some cases, which confused
the lustre dentry revalidation. Change it to always use the
in-dentry qstr.
Severity : major
Frequency : rare, unless heavy write-truncate concurrency is continuous
Bugzilla : 4180, 6984, 7171, 9963, 9331
Description: OST becomes very slow and/or deadlocked during object unlink
Details : filter_destroy() was holding onto the parent directory lock
while truncating+unlinking objects. For very large objects this
may block other threads for a long time and slow overall OST
responsiveness. It may also be possible to get a lock ordering
deadlock in this case, or run out of journal credits because of
the combined truncate+unlink. Solution is to do object truncate
first in one transaction without parent lock, and then do the
final unlink in a new transaction with the parent lock. This
reduces the lock hold time dramatically.
Severity : major
Frequency : rare, 2.4 kernels only
Bugzilla : 9967
Description: MDS or OST cleanup may trip kernel BUG when dropping kernel lock
Details : mds_cleanup() and filter_cleanup() need to drop the kernel lock
before unmounting their filesystem in order to avoid deadlock.
The kernel_locked() function in 2.4 kernels only checks whether
the kernel lock is held, not whether it is this process that is
holding it as 2.6 kernels do.
Severity : major
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 9635
Description: MDS or OST may oops/LBUG if a client is connecting multiple times
Details : The client ptlrpc code may be trying to reconnect to a down
server before a previous connection attempt has timed out.
Increase the reconnect interval to be longer than the connection
timeout interval to avoid sending duplicate connections to
servers.
Severity : minor
Frequency : echo_client brw_test command
Bugzilla : 9919
Description: fix echo_client to work with OST preallocated code
Details : OST preallocation code (5137) didn't take echo_client IO path
into account: echo_client calls filter methods outside of any
OST thread and, hence, there is no per-thread preallocated
pages and buffers to use. Solution: hijack pga pages for IO. As
a byproduct, this avoids unnecessary data copying.
Severity : minor
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 3555, 5962, 6025, 6155, 6296, 9574
Description: Client can oops in mdc_commit_close() after open replay
Details : It was possible for the MDS to return an open request with no
transaction number in mds_finish_transno() if the client was
evicted, but without actually returning an error. Clients
would later try to replay that open and may trip an assertion
Simplify the client close codepath, and always return an error
from the MDS in case the open is not successful.
Severity : major
Frequency : rare, 2.6 OSTs only
Bugzilla : 10076
Description: OST may deadlock under high load on fragmented files
Details : If there was a heavy load and highly-fragmented OST filesystems
it was possible to have all the OST threads deadlock waiting on
allocation of biovecs, because the biovecs were not released
until the entire RPC IO was completed. Instead, release biovecs
as soon as they are complete to ensure forward IO progress.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 9578
Description: Support for specifying external journal device at mount
Details : If an OST or MDS device is formatted with an external journal
device, this device major/minor is stored in the ext3 superblock
and may not be valid for failover. Allow detecting and
specifying the external journal at mount time.
Severity : major
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 10235
Description: Mounting an MDS with pending unlinked files may cause oops
Details : target_finish_recovery() calls mds_postrecov() which returned
the number of orphans unlinked. mds_lov_connect->mds_postsetup()
considers this an error and immediately begins cleaning up the
lov, just after starting the mds_lov process
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 9461
Description: Implement 'lfs df' to report actual free space on per-OST basis
Details : Add sub-command 'df' on 'lfs' to report the disk space usage of
MDS/OSDs. Usage: lfs df [-i][-h]. Command Options: '-i' to report
usage of objects; '-h' to report in human readable format.

08-26-2005 Cluster File Systems, Inc. <info@clusterfs.com>
* version 1.4.5
* bug fixes
Severity : major
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 7264
Description: Mounting an ldiskfs file system with mballoc may crash OST node.
Details : ldiskfs mballoc code may reference an uninitialized buddy struct
at startup during orphan unlinking. Instead, skip buddy update
before setup, as it will be regenerated after recovery is complete.
Severity : minor
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 7039
Description: If an OST is inactive, its locks might reference stale inodes.
Details : lov_change_cbdata() must iterate over all namespaces, even if
they are inactive to clear inode references from the lock.
Severity : enhancement
Frequency : occasional, if non-standard max_dirty_mb used
Bugzilla : 7138
Description: Client will block write RPCs if not enough grant
Details : If a client has max_dirty_mb smaller than max_rpcs_in_flight,
then the client will block writes while waiting for another RPC
to complete instead of consuming its dirty limit. With change
we get improved performance when max_dirty_mb is small.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 3389, 6253
Description: Add support for supplementary groups on the MDS.
Details : The MDS has an upcall /proc/fs/lustre/mds/{mds}/group_upcall
(set to /usr/sbin/l_getgroups if enabled) which will do MDS-side
lookups for user supplementary groups into a cache.
Severity : minor
Bugzilla : 7278
Description: O_CREAT|O_EXCL open flags in liblustre always return -EEXIST
Details : Make libsysio to not enforce O_EXCL by clearing the flag,
for liblustre O_EXCL is enforced by MDS.
Severity : minor
Bugzilla : 6455
Description: readdir never returns NULL in liblustre.
Details : Corrected llu_iop_getdirentries logic, to return offset of next
dentry in struct dirent.
Severity : minor
Bugzilla : 7137
Frequency : liblustre only, depends on application IO pattern
Description: liblustre clients evicted if not contacting servers
Details : Don't put liblustre clients into the ping_evictor list, so
they will not be evicted by the pinger ever.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 6902
Description: Add ability to evict clients by NID from MDS.
Details : By echoing "nid:$NID" string into
/proc/fs/lustre/mds/.../evict_client client with nid that equals to
$NID would be instantly evicted from this MDS and from all active
OSTs connected to it.
Severity : minor
Bugzilla : 7198
Description: Do not query file size twice, somewhat slowing stat(2) calls.
Details : lookup_it_finish() used to query file size from OSTs that was not
needed.
Severity : minor
Bugzilla : 6237
Description: service threads change working directory to that of init
Details : Starting lustre service threads may pin the working directory
of the parent thread, making that filesystem busy. Threads
now change to the working directory of init to avoid this.
Severity : minor
Bugzilla : 6827
Frequency : during shutdown only
Description: shutdown with a failed MDS or OST can cause unmount to hang
Details : Don't resend DISCONNECT messages in ptlrpc_disconnect_import()
if server is down.
Severity : minor
Bugzilla : 7331
Frequency : 2.6 only
Description: chmod/chown may include an extra supplementary group
Details : ll{,u}_mdc_pack_op_data() does not properly initialize the
supplementary group and if none is specified this is used.
Severity : minor
Bugzilla : 5479 (6816)
Frequency : rare
Description: Racing open + rm can assert client in mdc_set_open_replay_data()
Details : If lookup is in progress on a file that is unlinked we might try
to revalidate the inode and fail in revalidate after lookup is
complete and ll_file_open() enqueues the open again but
it_open_error() was not checking DISP_OPEN_OPEN errors correctly.
Severity : minor
Frequency : always, if lconf --abort_recovery used
Bugzilla : 7047
Description: lconf --abort_recovery fails with 'Operation not supported'
Details : lconf was attempting to abort recovery on the MDT device and not
the MDS device

* version 1.4.4
* bug fixes
Severity : major
Frequency : rare (only unsupported configurations with a node running as an
OST and a client)
Bugzilla : 6514, 5137
Description: Mounting a Lustre file system on a node running as an OST could
lead to deadlocks
Details : OSTs now preallocates memory needed to write out data at
startup, instead of when needed, to avoid having to
allocate memory in possibly low memory situations.
Specifically, if the file system is mounted on on OST,
memory pressure could force it to try to write out data,
which it needed to allocate memory to do. Due to the low
memory, it would be unable to do so and the node would
become unresponsive.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 7015
Description: Addition of lconf --service command line option
Details : lconf now accepts a '--service <arg>' option, which is
shorthand for 'lconf --group <arg> --select <arg>=<hostname>'
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 6101
Description: Failover mode is now the default for OSTs.
Details : By default, OSTs will now run in failover mode. To return to
the old behaviour, add '--failout' to the lmc line for OSTs.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 1693
Description: Health checks are now provided for MDS and OSTs
Details : Additional detailed health check information on MSD and OSTs
is now provided through the procfs health_check value.
Severity : minor
Frequency : occasional, depends on IO load
Bugzilla : 4466
Description: Disk fragmentation on the OSTs could eventually cause slowdowns
after numerous create/delete cycles
Details : The ext3 inode allocation policy would not allocate new inodes
very well on the OSTs because there are no new directories
being created. Instead we look for groups with free space if the parent directories are nearly full.
Severity : major
Bugzilla : 6302
Frequency : rare
Description: Network or server problems during mount may cause partially
mounted clients instead of returning an error.
Details : The config llog parsing code may overwrite the error return
code during mount error handling, returning success instead
of an error.
Severity : minor
Bugzilla : 6422
Frequency : rare
Description: MDS can fail to allocate large reply buffers
Details : After long uptimes the MDS can fail to allocate large reply
buffers (e.g. zconf client mount config records) due to memory
fragmentation or consumption by the buffer cache. Preallocate
some large reply buffers so that these replies can be sent even
under memory pressure.
Severity : minor
Bugzilla : 6266
Frequency : rare (liblustre)
Description: fsx running with liblustre complained that using truncate() to
extend the file doesn't work. This patch corrects that issue.
Details : This is the liblustre equivalent of the fix for bug 6196. Fixes
ATTR_SIZE and lsm use in llu_setattr_raw.
Severity : critical
Bugzilla : 6866
Frequency : rare, only 2.6 kernels
Description: Unusual file access patterns on the MDS may result in inode
data being lost in very rare circumstances.
Details : Bad interaction between the ea-in-inode patch and the "no-read"
code in the 2.6 kernel caused the inode and/or EA data not to
be read from disk, causing single-file corruption.
Severity : critical
Bugzilla : 6998
Frequency : rare, only 2.6 filesystems using extents
Description: Heavy concurrent write and delete load may cause data corruption.
Details : It was possible under high-load situations to have an extent
metadata block in the block device cache from a just-unlinked
file overwrite a newly-allocated data block. We now unmap any
metadata buffers that alias just-allocated data blocks.
Severity : minor
Bugzilla : 7241
Frequency : filesystems with default stripe_count larger than 77
Description: lconf+mke2fs fail when formatting filesystem with > 77 stripes
Details : lconf specifies an inode size of 4096 bytes when the default
stripe_count is larger than 77. This conflicts with the default
inode density of 1 per 4096 bytes. Allocate smaller inodes in
this case to avoid pinning too much memory for large EAs.

2005-07-07 Cluster File Systems, Inc. <info@clusterfs.com>
* version 1.4.3
* bug fixes
Severity : minor
Frequency : rare (extremely heavy IO load with hundreds of clients)
Bugzilla : 6172
Description: Client is evicted, gets IO error writing to file
Details : lock ordering changes for bug 5492 reintroduced bug 3267 and
caused clients to be evicted for AST timeouts. The fixes in
bug 5192 mean we no longer need to have such short AST timeouts
so ldlm_timeout has been increased.
Severity : major
Frequency : occasional during --force or --failover shutdown under load
Bugzilla : 5949, 4834
Description: Server oops/LBUG if stopped with --force or --failover under load
Details : a collection of import/export refcount and cleanup ordering
issues fixed for safer force cleanup
Severity : major
Frequency : only filesystems larger than 120 OSTs
Bugzilla : 5990, 6223
Description: lfs getstripe would oops on a very large filesystem
Details : lov_getconfig used kfree on vmalloc'd memory
Severity : minor
Frequency : only filesystems exporting via NFS to Solaris 10 clients
Bugzilla : 6242, 6243
Description: reading from files that had been truncated to a non-zero size
but never opened returned no data
Details : ll_file_read() reads zeros from no-object files to EOF
Severity : major
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 6200
Description: A bug in MDS/OSS recovery could cause the OSS to fail an assertion
Details : There's little harm in aborting MDS/OSS recovery and letting it
try again, so I removed the LASSERT and return an error instead.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 5902
Description: New debugging infrastructure for tracking down data corruption
Details : The I/O checksum code was replaced to: (a) control it at runtime,
(b) cover more of the client-side code path, and (c) try to narrow
down where problems occurred
Severity : major
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 3819, 4364, 4397, 6313
Description: Racing close and eviction MDS could cause assertion in mds_close
Details : It was possible to get multiple mfd references during close and
client eviction, leading to one thread referencing a freed mfd.
Severity: : enhancement
Bugzilla : 3262, 6359
Description: Attempts to reconnect to servers are now more aggressive.
Details : This builds on the enhanced upcall-less recovery that was added
in 1.4.2. When trying to reconnect to servers, clients will
now try each server in the failover group every 10 seconds. By
default, clients would previously try one server every 25 seconds.
Severity : major
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 6371
Description: After recovery, certain operations trigger a failed
assertion on a client.
Details : Failing over an mds, using lconf -d --failover, while a
client was doing a readdir() call would cause the client to
LBUG after recovery completed and the readdir() was resent.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 6296
Description: Default groups are now added by lconf
Details : You can now run lconf --group <servicename> without having to
manually add groups with lmc.
Severity : major
Frequency : occasional
Bugzilla : 6412
Description: Nodes with an elan id of 0 trigger a failed assertion
Severity : minor
Frequency : always when accessing e.g. tty/console device nodes
Bugzilla : 3790
Description: tty and some other devices nodes cannot be used on lustre
Details : file's private_data field is used by device data and lustre
values in there got lost. New field was added to struct file to
store fs-specific private data.
Severity : minor
Frequency : when exporting Lustre via NFS
Bugzilla : 5275
Description: NFSD failed occasionally when looking up a path component
Details : NFSD is looking up ".." which was broken in ext3 directories
that had grown large enough to become hashed.
Severity : minor
Frequency : Clusters with multiple interfaces not on the same subnet
Bugzilla : 5541
Description: Nodes will repeatedly try to reconnect to an interface which it
cannot reach and report an error to the log.
Details : Extra peer list entries will be created by lconf with some peers
unreachable. lconf now validates the peer before adding it.
Severity : major
Frequency : Only if a default stripe is set on the filesystem root.
Bugzilla : 6367
Description: Setting a default stripe on the filesystem root prevented the
filesystem from being remounted.
Details : The client was sending extra request flags in the root getattr
request and did not allocate a reply buffer for the dir EA.
Severity : major
Frequency : occasional, higher if lots of files are accessed by one client
Bugzilla : 6159, 6097
Description: Client trips assertion regarding lsm mismatch/magic
Details : While revalidating inodes the VFS looks up inodes with ifind()
and in rare cases can find an inode that is being freed.
The ll_test_inode() code will free the lsm during ifind()
when it finds an existing inode and then the VFS later attaches
this free lsm to a new inode.
Severity : major
Frequency : rare
Bugzilla : 6422, 7030
Description: MDS deadlock between mkdir and client eviction
Details : Creating a new file via mkdir or mknod (starting a transaction
and getting the ns lock) can deadlock with client eviction
(gets ns lock and trying to finish a synchronous transaction).
Severity : minor
Frequency : occasional
Description: While starting a server, the fsfilt_ext3 module could not be
loaded.
Details : CFS's improved ext3 filesystem is named ldiskfs for 2.6
kernels. Previously, lconf would still use the ext3 name
when trying to load modules. Now, it will correctly use
ext3 on 2.4 and ldiskfs on 2.6.
Severity : enhancement
Description: The default stripe count has been changed to 1
Details : The interpretation of the default stripe count (0, to lfs
or lmc) has been changed to mean striping across a single
OST, rather than all available. For general usage we have
found a stripe count of 1 or 2 works best.
Severity : enhancement
Description: Add support for compiling against Cray portals.
Details : Conditional compiling for some areas that are different
on Cray Portals.
Severity : major
Frequency : occasional
Bugzilla : 6409, 6834
Description: Creating files with an explicit stripe count may lead to
a failed assertion on the MDS
Details : If some OSTs are full or unavailable, creating files may
trigger a failed assertion on the MDS. Now, Lustre will
try to use other servers or return an error to the
client.
Severity : minor
Frequency : occasional
Bugzilla : 6469
Description: Multiple concurrent overlapping read+write on multiple SMP nodes
caused lock timeout during readahead (since 1.4.2).
Details : Processes doing readahead might match a lock that hasn't been
granted yet if there are overlapping and conflicting lock
requests. The readahead process waits on ungranted lock
(original lock is CBPENDING), while OST waits for that process
to cancel CBPENDING read lock and eventually evicts client.
Severity : enhancement
Bugzilla : 6931
Description: Initial enabling of flock support for clients
Details : Implements fcntl advisory locking and file status functions.
This feature is provided as an optional mount flag (default
off), and is NOT CURRENTLY SUPPORTED. Not all types of record
locking are implemented yet, and those that are are not guaranteed
to be completely correct in production environments.
mount -t lustre -o [flock|noflock] ...
Severity : major
Frequency : occasional
Bugzilla : 6198
Description: OSTs running 2.4 kernels but with extents enabled might trip an
assertion in the ext3 JBD (journaling) layer.
Details : The b_committed_data struct is protected by the big kernel lock
in 2.4 kernels, serializing journal_commit_transaction() and
ext3_get_block_handle->ext3_new_block->find_next_usable_block()
access to this struct. In 2.6 kernels there is finer grained
locking to improve SMP performance of the JBD layer.
Severity : minor
Bugzilla : 6147
Description: Changes the "SCSI I/O Stats" kernel patch to default to "enabled"
Severity : Minor
Frequency : Rare
Bugzilla : 11248
Description: merge and cleanup kernel patches.
Details :

- Aggressively cancel local locks on DLM servers
- mds_reint_unlink sends EA to the client if it's the last nlink.
