This patch addresses multiple 'zpool import' block device indentification problems which are most likely to occur on a system configured to use blkid, by_vdev paths, multipath and failover. The symptom most commonly observed is the import uses different path names to import the pool than would normally be expected. * When using blkid to identify vdevs the listed devices may be added to the cache in any order. In order to apply the preferred search order heuristic a zfs_path_order() function was added to calculate the order given full path names. * Since it's possible to have multiple block devices with different vdev guids which refer to the same ZPOOL_CONFIG_PATH the slice cache must be indexed by guid and name. By avoiding collisions the preferred ordering can be maintaining even when multiple block devices claim the same ZPOOL_CONFIG_PATH. The preferred sorting by partition was never benefitial for a Linux system and was removed as part of this change. * When adding entries to the blkid cache avl_find/avl_insert are used instead of avl_add because collisions are possible and must be handled gracefully. * For pools using multipath devices there are, at a minimum, three devices where a vdev label may be read. They are the dm-* device and each underlying /dev/sd* device. Due to the way the block cache is implemented each of these devices may have a different cached copy of the vdev label. This can result in "ghost pools" which appear to persist even after a 'zpool labelclear' has been done to the dm-* device. In order to prevent this the vdev label is read with O_DIRECT in order to bypass any caching to get the on-disk version. * When opening a block device verify that vdev guid read from the disk matches the expected vdev guid. This allows for bad labels to be filtered out. Reviewed-by: Tony Hutter <hutter2@llnl.gov> Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Closes #5359 |
