dm mpath: only retry ioctl when no paths if queue_if_no_path set
When there are no paths and multipath receives an ioctl, it waits until a path becomes available. This behaviour is incorrect if the "queue_if_no_path" setting was not specified, as then the ioctl should be rejected immediately, which this patch now does. commit 35991652b ("dm mpath: allow ioctls to trigger pg init") should have checked if queue_if_no_path was configured before queueing IO. Checking for the queue_if_no_path feature, like is done in map_io(), allows the following table load to work without blocking in the multipath_ioctl retry loop: echo "0 1024 multipath 0 0 0 0" | dmsetup create mpath_nodevs Without this fix the multipath_ioctl will block with the following stack trace: blkid D 0000000000000002 0 23936 1 0x00000000 ffff8802b89e5cd8 0000000000000082 ffff8802b89e5fd8 0000000000012440 ffff8802b89e4010 0000000000012440 0000000000012440 0000000000012440 ffff8802b89e5fd8 0000000000012440 ffff88030c2aab30 ffff880325794040 Call Trace: [<ffffffff814ce099>] schedule+0x29/0x70 [<ffffffff814cc312>] schedule_timeout+0x182/0x2e0 [<ffffffff8104dee0>] ? lock_timer_base+0x70/0x70 [<ffffffff814cc48e>] schedule_timeout_uninterruptible+0x1e/0x20 [<ffffffff8104f840>] msleep+0x20/0x30 [<ffffffffa0000839>] multipath_ioctl+0x109/0x170 [dm_multipath] [<ffffffffa06bfb9c>] dm_blk_ioctl+0xbc/0xd0 [dm_mod] [<ffffffff8122a408>] __blkdev_driver_ioctl+0x28/0x30 [<ffffffff8122a79e>] blkdev_ioctl+0xce/0x730 [<ffffffff811970ac>] block_ioctl+0x3c/0x40 [<ffffffff8117321c>] do_vfs_ioctl+0x8c/0x340 [<ffffffff81166293>] ? sys_newfstat+0x33/0x40 [<ffffffff81173571>] sys_ioctl+0xa1/0xb0 [<ffffffff814d70a9>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 3.5+ Acked-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
