17 Description: add message levels for liblustreapi
21 Description: fix for occasional failure case of -ENOSPC in recovery-small tests
22 Details : Move the 'good_osts' check before the 'total_bavail' check. This
23 will result in an -EAGAIN and in the exit call path we call
24 alloc_rr() which will with increasing aggressiveness attempt to
25 aquire precreated objects on the minimum number of required OSCs.
29 Description: Use old size assignment to avoid deadlock
30 Details : This reverts the changes in bugs 2369 and bug 14138 that introduced
31 the scheduling while holding a spinlock. We do not need locking
32 for size in ll_update_inode() because size is only updated from
33 the MDS for directories or files without objects, so there is no
34 other place to do the update, and concurrent access to such inodes
35 are protected by the inode lock.
39 Description: resolve "_IOWR redefined" build error on SLES10

54 Details : the kernel version for our SLES 10 kernel did not include a "-"
55 before the "smp" at the end. while this was not a problem in
56 general, it did mean that software trying to use the kernel
57 version to try to detect a vendor specific kernel would fail.
58 this was most evident by the OFED build scripts.
62 Description: Don't update lov_desc members until making sure they are valid
63 Details : When updating lov_desc members via proc fs, need fix their
64 validities before doing the real update.

110 of the error messages complaining that MGS is not connected.
113 Frequency : on start mds
115 Description: Implement get_info(last_id) in obdfilter.
118 Frequency : occasional
120 Description: Correctly check stale fid, not start epoch if ost not support SOM
121 Details : open with flag O_CREATE need set old fid in op_fid3 because op_fid2
122 overwrited with new generated fid, but mds can anwer with one of these
123 two fids and both is not stale. setattr incorectly start epoch and
124 assume will be called done_writeting, but without SOM done_writing
128 Frequency : rare, depends on device drivers and load
130 Description: MDS or OSS nodes crash due to stack overflow
131 Details : Code changes in 1.8.0 increased the stack usage of some functions.
132 In some cases, in conjunction with device drivers that use a lot
133 of stack the MDS (or possibly OSS) service threads could overflow
134 the stack. One change which was identified to consume additional
135 stack has been reworked to avoid the extra stack usage.
138 Frequency : occasional
140 Description: Do not fail import if osc_interpret_create gets -EAGAIN
141 Details : If osc_interpret_create got -EAGAIN it immediately exits and
142 wakeup oscc_waitq. After wakeup oscc_wait_for_objects call

323 can't search header adequately. Use absolute path such as
324 -I($LINUX)/include instead.
328 Description: interrupt oig_wait produce painc on resend.
329 Details : brw_redo_request can be used for resend requests from ptlrpcd and
330 private set, and this produce situation when rq_ptlrpcd_data not
331 copyed to new allocated request and triggered LBUG on assert
332 req->rq_ptlrpcd_data != NULL. But this member used only for wakeup

588 Frequency : Always for filesystems larger than 2TB on 32-bit systems.
590 Description: Data corruption for OSTs that are formatted larger than 2TB
592 Details : When generating the bio request for lustre file writes the
593 sector number would overflow a temporary variable before being
594 used for the IO. The data reads correctly from Lustre (which
595 will overflow in a similar manner) but other file data or
596 filesystem metadata may be corrupted in some cases.
600 Description: Tune the kernel for good SCSI performance.

702 A flaw was found in the IA32 system call emulation provided
703 on AMD64 and Intel 64 platforms. An improperly validated 64-bit
704 value could be stored in the %RAX register, which could trigger an
705 out-of-bounds system call table access. An untrusted local user
706 could exploit this flaw to run code in the kernel
707 (ie a root privilege escalation). (CVE-2007-4573).

727 Description: handle "serious error: objid * already exists" more gracefully
728 Details : If LAST_ID value on disk is smaller than the objects existing in
729 the O/0/d* directories, it indicates disk corruption and causes an
730 LBUG(). If the object is 0-length, then we should use the existing
731 object. This will help to avoid a full fsck in most cases.
733 Severity : enhancement
735 Description: adapt the lustre_config script to support the upgrade case
736 Details : Add "-u" option for lustre_config script to support upgrading 1.4
737 server targets to 1.6 in parallel.

742 full. Without this patch you might see the error "grant XXXX >
743 available" or some LBUG about grant, when the disk is almost
745 Details : In filter_check_grant, for non_grant cache write, we should
746 check the left space by if (*left > ungranted + bytes), instead
747 of (*left > ungranted), because only we are sure the left space
748 is enough for another "bytes", then the ungrant space should be
749 increase. In client, we should update cl_avail_grant only there
750 is OBD_MD_FLGRANT in the reply.

796 Description: User code with malformed file open parameter crashes client node
797 Details : Before packing join_file req, all the related reference should be
798 checked carefully in case some malformed flags cause fake
799 join_file req on client.
803 Description: LDLM_ENQUEUE races with LDLM_CP_CALLBACK
804 Details : ldlm_completion_ast() assumes that a lock is granted when the req
805 mode is equal to the granted mode. However, it should also check
806 that LDLM_FL_CP_REQD is not set.
810 Description: Heavy nfs access might result in deadlocks
811 Details : After ELC code landed, it is now improper to enqueue any mds
812 locks under och_sem, because enqueue might want to decide to
813 cancel open locks for same inode we are holding och_sem for.
817 Description: Client eviction while running blogbench
818 Details : A lot of unlink operations with concurrent I/O can lead to a
819 deadlock causing evictions. To address the problem, the number of
820 oustanding OST_DESTROY requests is now throttled to
821 max_rpcs_in_flight per OSC and LDLM_FL_DISCARD_DATA blocking
822 callbacks are processed in priority.
826 Description: enable ACLs on MDS by default
827 Details : ACLs must be enabled on MDS by default.
830 Frequency : PPC/PPC64 only
832 Description: conflicts between asm-ppc64/types.h and lustre_types.h
833 Details : fix duplicated definitions between asm-ppc64/types.h and
834 lustre_types.h on PPC.
837 Frequency : PPC/PPC64 only
839 Description: asm-ppc/segment.h does not exist
840 Details : fix compile issue on PPC.
844 Description: better handle error messages in extents code
847 Frequency : RHEL4 only
849 Description: mkfs is very slow on IA64/RHEL4
850 Details : A performance regression has been discovered in the MPT Fusion
851 driver between versions 3.02.73rh and 3.02.99.00rh. As a
852 consequence, we have downgraded the MPT Fusion driver in the RHEL4
853 kernel from 3.02.99.00 to 3.02.73 until this problem is fixed.
855 Severity : enhancement
857 Description: SNMP support enhancement
858 Details : Adding total number of sampled request for an MDS node in snmp
861 Severity : enhancement
863 Description: Optimize ldlm waiting list processing for PR extent locks
864 Details : When processing waiting list for read extent lock and meeting read
865 lock that is same or wider to it that is not contended, skip
866 processing rest of the list and immediatelly return current
867 status of conflictness, since we are guaranteed there are no
868 conflicting locks in the rest of the list.
872 Description: Time out and refuse to reconnect
873 Details : When the failover node is the primary node, it is possible
874 to have two identical connections in imp_conn_list. We must
875 compare not conn's pointers but NIDs, otherwise we can defeat
876 connection throttling.
880 Description: port llog fixes from b1_6 into HEAD
881 Details : Port llog reference couting and some llog cleanups from b1_6
882 (bug 10800) into HEAD, for protect from panic and access to already
883 free llog structures.
887 Description: Detect stride IO mode in read-ahead
888 Details : When a client does stride read, read-ahead should detect that and
889 read-ahead pages according to the detected stride pattern.
893 Description: data checksumming impacts single node performance
894 Details : add support for several checksum algorithm. Currently, only CRC32
895 and Adler-32 are supported. The checksum type can be changed on
896 the fly via /proc/fs/lustre/osc/*/checksum_type.
900 Description: use adler32 for page checksums
901 Details : when available, use the Adler-32 algorithm instead of CRC32 for
906 Description: build for x2 fails
907 Details : fix compile issue on Cray systems.
911 Description: Properly match for duplicate locks
912 Details : Due to different lock order from skiplists code, we need to
913 traverse entire list for now
916 Frequency : only on PPC/SLES10
918 Description: "BITS_PER_LONG is not 32 or 64" in linux/idr.h
919 Details : On SLES10/PPC, fs.h includes idr.h which requires BITS_PER_LONG to
920 be defined. Add a hack in mkfs_lustre.c to work around this compile
925 Description: LASSERT on MDS when client holding flock lock dies
926 Details : ldlm pool logic depends on number of granted locks equal to
927 number of released locks which is not true for flock locks, so
928 just exclude such locks from consideration.
932 Description: MDS deadlock with many ll_sync_lov threads and I/O stalled
933 Details : Use fsfilt_sync() for both the whole filesystem sync and
934 individual file sync to eliminate dangerous inode locking
935 with I_LOCK that can lead to a deadlock.
939 Description: performance in 1.6.3
940 Details : Force q->max_phys_segments to MAX_PHYS_SEGMENTS on SLES10 to be
941 sure that 1MB requests are not fragmented by the block layer.

949 2.6.9-55.EL (RHEL 4),
950 2.6.16.46-0.14 (SLES 10),
951 2.6.18.8 vanilla (kernel.org)
952 * Client support for unpatched kernels:
953 (see http://wiki.lustre.org/index.php?title=Patchless_Client)
954 2.6.16 - 2.6.22 vanilla (kernel.org)
955 * Due to recently discovered recovery problems, we do not recommend
956 using patchless RHEL 4 clients with this or any earlier release.
957 * Recommended e2fsprogs version: 1.39.cfs8
958 * Note that reiserfs quotas are disabled on SLES 10 in this kernel.
959 * Starting with this release, the ldiskfs backing filesystem required
960 by Lustre is now in its own package, lustre-ldiskfs. This package
961 should be installed. It is versioned separately from Lustre and
962 may be released separately in future.
966 Description: block reactivating mgc import until all deactivates complete
967 Details : Fix race when failing back MDT/MGS to itself (testing)
970 Frequency : at statup only
972 Description: mds_lov_synchronize race leads to various problems
973 Details : simultaneous MDT->OST connections at startup can cause the
974 sync to abort, leaving the OSC in a bad state.
976 Severity : enhancement
978 Description: add optional extra BUILD_VERSION info
979 Details : add a new environment variable (namely LUSTRE_VERS) which allows
980 to override the lustre version.
983 Frequency : 2.6.18 servers only
985 Description: ll_kern_mount() doesn't release the module reference
986 Details : The ldiskfs module reference count never drops down to 0
987 because ll_kern_mount() doesn't release the module reference.
992 Description: server LBUG when using old ost_num_threads parameter
993 Details : Accept the old ost_num_threads parameter but warn that it
994 is deprecated, and fix an off-by-one error that caused an LBUG.
999 Description: Transient SCSI error results in persistent IO issue
1000 Details : iobuf->dr_error is not reinitialized to 0 between two
1004 Frequency : sometimes when underlying device returns I/O errors
1006 Description: OSTs not going read-only during write failures
1007 Details : OSTs are not remounted read-only when the journal commit threads
1008 get I/O errors because fsfilt_ext3 calls journal_start/stop()
1009 instead of the ext3 wrappers.
1013 Description: poor connect scaling with increasing client count
1014 Details : Don't run filter_grant_sanity_check for more than 100 exports
1015 to improve scaling for large numbers of clients.
1018 Frequency : SLES10 only
1020 Description: sanity-quota.sh quotacheck failed: rc = -22
1021 Details : Quotas cannot be enabled on SLES10.
1024 Frequency : liblustre clients only
1026 Description: getdirentries does not give error when run on compute nodes
1027 Details : getdirentries does not fail when the size specified as an argument
1028 is too small to contain at least one entry
1030 Severity : enhancement
1032 Description: Add LNET router traceability for debug purposes
1033 Details : If a checksum failure occurs with a router as part of the
1034 IO path, the NID of the last router that forwarded the bulk data
1035 is printed so it can be identified.
1040 Description: OST "spontaneously" evicts client; client has imp_pingable == 0
1041 Details : Due to a race condition, liblustre clients were occasionally
1042 evicted incorrectly.
1044 Severity : enhancement
1046 Description: lfs setstripe use optional parameters instead of postional
1049 Severity : enhancement
1051 Description: Nanosecond timestamp support for ldiskfs
1052 Details : The on-disk ldiskfs filesystem has added support for nanosecond
1053 resolution timestamps. There is not yet support for this at
1054 the Lustre filesystem level.
1057 Frequency : during server recovery
1059 Description: MDS failing to send precreate requests due to OSCC_FLAG_RECOVERING
1060 Details : request with rq_no_resend flag not awake l_wait_event if they get a
1064 Frequency : nfs export on patchless client
1066 Description: connectathon hang when test nfs export over patchless client
1067 Details : Disconnected dentry cannot be found with lookup, so we do not need
1068 to unhash it or make it invalid
1071 Description: fix llapi_lov_get_uuids() to allow many OSTs to be returned
1072 Details: : Change llapi_lov_get_uuids() to read the UUIDs from /proc instead
1073 of using an ioctl. This allows lfsck for > 160 OSTs to succeed.
1078 Description: open req refcounting wrong on reconnect
1079 Details : If reconnect happened between getting open reply from server and
1080 call to mdc_set_replay_data in ll_file_open, we will schedule
1081 replay for unreferenced request that we are about to free.
1082 Subsequent close will crash in variety of ways.
1083 Check that request is still eligible for replay in
1084 mdc_set_replay_data().
1089 Description: disable writes to filesystem when reading health_check file
1090 Details : the default for reading the health_check proc file has changed
1091 to NOT do a journal transaction and write to disk, because this
1092 can cause reads of the /proc file to hang and block HA state
1093 checking on a healthy but otherwise heavily loaded system. It
1094 is possible to return to the previous behaviour during configure
1095 with --enable-health-write.
1097 Severity : enhancement
1099 Description: 64-bit inode version
1100 Details: : Add a on-disk 64-bit inode version for ext3 to track changes made
1101 to the inode. This will be required for version-based recovery.
1106 Description: MDS fails to start if a duplicate client export is detected
1107 Details : in some rare cases it was possible for a client to connect to
1108 an MDS multiple times. Upon recovery the MDS would detect this
1109 and fail during startup. Handle this more gracefully.
1111 Severity : enhancement
1113 Description: Add -o localflock option to simulate old noflock
1115 Details : This will achieve local-only flock/fcntl locks
1121 Description: log_commit_thread vs filter_destroy race leads to crash
1122 Details : Take import reference before releasing llog record semaphore
1127 Description: Wrong request locking in request set processing
1128 Details : ptlrpc_check_set wrongly uses req->rq_lock for proctect add to
1129 imp_delayed_list, in this place should be used imp_lock.
1132 Frequency : when reconnection
1134 Description: Grant Leak when osc reconnect to OST
1135 Details : When osc reconnect ost, OST(filter) should check whether it
1136 should grant more space to client by comparing fed_grant and
1137 cl_avail_grant, and return the granted space to client instead
1138 of "new granted" space, because client will call osc_init_grant
1139 to update the client grant space info.
1142 Frequency : when client reconnect to OST
1144 Description: Grant Leak when osc do resend and replay bulk write
1145 Details : When osc reconnect to OST, OST(filter)should clear grant info of
1146 bulk write request, because the grant info while be sync between
1147 OSC and OST when reconnect, and we should ignore the grant info
1148 these of resend/replay write req.
1153 Description: Grant space more than avaiable left space sometimes.
1154 Details : When then OST is about to be full, if two bulk writing from
1155 different clients came to OST. Accord the avaliable space of the
1156 OST, the first req should be permitted, and the second one
1157 should be denied by ENOSPC. But if the seconde arrived before
1158 the first one is commited. The OST might wrongly permit second
1159 writing, which will cause grant space > avaiable space.
1162 Frequency : when client is evicted
1164 Description: Grant might be wrongly erased when osc is evicted by OST
1165 Details : when the import is evicted by server, it will fork another
1166 thread ptlrpc_invalidate_import_thread to invalidate the
1167 import, where the grant will be set to 0. While the original
1168 thread will update the grant it got when connecting. So if
1169 the former happened latter, the grant will be wrongly errased
1170 because of this race.
1175 Description: Checking Stale with correct fid
1176 Details : ll_revalidate_it should uses de_inode instead of op_data.fid2
1177 to check whether it is stale, because sometimes, we want the
1178 enqueue happened anyway, and op_data.fid2 will not be initialized.
1180 Severity : enhancement
1182 Description: update patchless client
1183 Details : Add support for patchless client with 2.6.20, 2.6.21 and RHEL 5
1186 Frequency : only with 2.4 kernel
1188 Description: random memory corruption
1189 Details : size of struct ll_inode_info is to big for union inode.u and this
1190 can be cause of random memory corruption.
1195 Description: Memory leak in recovery
1196 Details : Lov_mds_md was not free in an error handler in mds_create_object.
1197 It should also check obd_fail before fsfilt_start, otherwise if
1198 fsfilt_start return -EROFS,(failover mds during mds recovery).
1199 then the req will return with repmsg->transno = 0 and rc = EROFS.
1200 and we met hit the assert LASSERT(req->rq_reqmsg->transno ==
1201 req->rq_repmsg->transno) in ptlrpc_replay_interpret. Fcc should
1202 be freed no matter whether fsfilt_commit success or not.
1205 Frequency : only with huge count clients
1207 Description: Prevents from taking the superblock lock in llap_from_page for
1209 Details : using LL_ORIGIN_REMOVEPAGE origin flag instead of LL_ORIGIN_UNKNOW
1210 for llap_from_page call in ll_removepage prevents from taking the
1211 superblock lock for a soon died page.
1216 Description: Not check open intent error before release open handle
1217 Details : in some rare cases, the open intent error is not checked before
1218 release open handle, which may cause
1219 ASSERTION(open_req->rq_transno != 0), because it tries to release
1220 the failed open handle.
1225 Description: Set cat log bitmap only after create log success.
1226 Details : in some rare cases, the cat log bitmap is set too early. and it
1227 should be set only after create log success.
1231 Description: Accessing a block bevice can re-enable I/O when Lustre is
1232 tearing down a device.
1233 Details : dev_clear_rdonly(bdev) must be called in kill_bdev() instead of
1238 Description: service threads may hog cpus when there are a lot of requests
1239 Details : Insert cond_resched to give other threads a chance to use some CPU
1244 Description: the cat log was not initialized in recovery
1245 Details : When mds(mgs) do recovery, the tgt_count might be zero, so the
1246 unlink log on mds will not be initialized until mds post
1247 recovery. And also in mds post recovery, the unlink log will
1248 initialization will be done asynchronausly, so there will be race
1249 between add unlink log and unlink log initialization.
1253 Description: brw_stats were being printed incorrectly
1254 Details : brw_stats were being printed as log2 but all of them were not
1255 recorded as log2. Also remove some code duplication arising from
1256 filter_tally_{read,write}.
1260 Frequency : rare, only in recovery.
1261 Description: ASSERTION(req->rq_type != LI_POISON) failed
1262 Details : imp_lock should be held while iterating over imp_sending_list for
1263 prevent destroy request after get timeout in ptlrpc_queue_wait.
1267 Description: replay-single.sh test 52 fails
1268 Details : A lock's skiplist need to be cleanup when it being unlinked
1269 from its resource list.
1273 Description: Short directio read returns full requested size rather than
1275 Details : Direct I/O operations should return actual amount of bytes
1276 transferred rather than requested size.
1278 Severity : enhancement
1280 Description: metadata RPC reduction (e.g. for rm performance)
1281 Details : decrease the amount of synchronous RPC between clients and servers
1282 by canceling conflicing lock before the operation on the client
1283 and packing thier handles into the main operation RPC to server.
1285 Severity : enhancement
1287 Description: Async OSC create to avoid the blocking unnecessarily.
1288 Details : If a OST has no remain object, system will block on the creating
1289 when need to create a new object on this OST. Now, ways use
1290 pre-created objects when available, instead of blocking on an
1291 empty osc while others are not empty. If we must block, we block
1292 for the shortest possible period of time.
1294 Severity : enhancement
1296 Description: refine locking for avoid write wrong info into lov_objid file
1297 Details : fix possible races with add new target and write/update data in

1316 Description: missing __iget() symbol export
1317 Details : The __iget() symbol export is missing. To avoid the need for
1318 this on patchless clients the deathrow inode reaper is turned
1319 off, and we depend on the VM to clean up old inodes. This
1320 dependency was during via the fix for bug 12181.

1326 * CONFIGURATION CHANGE. This version of Lustre WILL NOT
1327 INTEROPERATE with older versions automatically. In many cases a
1328 special upgrade step is needed. Please read the
1329 user documentation before upgrading any part of a live system.
1330 * WIRE PROTOCOL CHANGE from previous 1.6 beta versions. This
1331 version will not interoperate with 1.6 betas before beta5 (1.5.95).

1341 Description: MountConf
1342 Details : Lustre configuration is now managed via mkfs and mount
1343 commands instead of lmc and lconf. New obd types (MGS, MGC)
1344 are added for dynamic configuration management. See
1345 https://mail.clusterfs.com/wikis/lustre/MountConf for
1348 Severity : enhancement
1350 Description: dynamic OST addition
1351 Details : OSTs can now be added to a live filesystem
1353 Severity : enhancement
1355 Description: startup order invariance
1356 Details : MDTs and OSTs can be started in any order. Clients only
1357 require the MDT to complete startup.
1359 Severity : enhancement
1361 Description: parallel, asynchronous orphan cleanup
1362 Details : orphan cleanup is now performed in separate threads for each
1363 OST, allowing parallel non-blocking operation.
1365 Severity : enhancement
1367 Description: optimized stripe assignment
1368 Details : stripe assignments are now made based on ost space available,
1369 ost previous usage, and OSS previous usage, in order to try
1370 to optimize storage space and networking resources.
1372 Severity : enhancement
1374 Description: Permanently set tunables
1375 Details : All writable /proc/fs/lustre tunables can now be permanently
1376 set on a per-server basis, at mkfs time or on a live system.

1380 Description: Lustre message v2
1381 Details : Add lustre message format v2.
1383 Severity : enhancement
1385 Description: client OST exclusion list
1386 Details : Clients can be started with a list of OSTs that should be
1387 declared "inactive" for known non-responsive OSTs.
1391 Description: SPEC SFS validation failure on NFS v2 over lustre.
1392 Details : Changes the blocksize for regular files to be 2x RPC size,
1393 and not depend on stripe size.
1395 Severity : enhancement
1397 Description: Multiple MD RPCs in flight.
1398 Details : Further unserialise some read-only MDS RPCs - learn about intents.
1399 To avoid overly-overloading MDS, introduce a limit on number of
1400 MDS RPCs in flight for a single client and add /proc controls
1401 to adjust this limit.
1403 Severity : enhancement
1405 Description: client read/write statistics
1406 Details : Add client read/write call usage stats for performance
1407 analysis of user processes.
1408 /proc/fs/lustre/llite/*/offset_stats shows non-sequential
1409 file access. extents_stats shows chunk size distribution.
1410 extents_stats_per_process show chunk size distribution per

1416 Details : Add detailed mds operations statistics in
1417 /proc/fs/lustre/mds/*/stats.
1421 Description: Failure of copying files with lustre special EAs.
1422 Details : Client side always return success for setxattr call for lustre
1423 special xattr (currently only "trusted.lov").
1428 Description: Refcount LNET uuids
1429 Details : The global LNET uuid list grew linearly with every startup;
1430 refcount repeated list entries instead of always adding to
1433 Severity : enhancement
1435 Description: Dynamic service threads
1436 Details : Within a small range, start extra service threads
1437 automatically when the request queue builds up.

1454 Description: MGS proc entries
1455 Details : Added basic proc entries for the MGS showing what filesystems
1458 Severity : enhancement
1460 Description: provide MGS failover
1461 Details : Added config lock reacquisition after MGS server failover.
1463 Severity : enhancement
1465 Description: add Linux 2.4 support
1466 Details : Added support for RHEL 2.4.21 kernel for 1.6 servers and clients
1470 Description: a large application tries to do I/O to the same resource and dies
1471 in the middle of it.
1472 Details : Check the req->rq_arrival time after the call to
1473 ost_brw_lock_get(), but before we do anything about
1474 processing it & sending the BULK transfer request. This
1475 should help move old stale pending locks off the queue as
1476 quickly as obd_timeout.
1479 Frequency : when an incorrect nid is specified during startup
1481 Description: ptlrpc connect to non-existant node causes kernel crash
1482 Details : LNET can't be re-entered from an event callback, which
1483 happened when we expire a message after the export has been
1484 cleaned up. Instead, hand the zombie cleanup off to another
1487 Severity : enhancement
1489 Description: plain/inodebits lock performance improvement
1490 Details : Grouping plain/inodebits in granted list by their request modes
1491 and bits policy, thus improving the performance of search through
1495 Frequency : only if OST filesystem is corrupted
1497 Description: client incorrectly hits assertion in ptlrpc_replay_req()
1498 Details : for a short time RPCs with bulk IO are in the replay list,
1499 but replay of bulk IOs is unimplemented. If the OST filesystem
1500 is corrupted due to disk cache incoherency and then replay is
1501 started it is possible to trip an assertion. Avoid putting
1502 committed RPCs into the replay list at all to avoid this issue.
1505 Frequency : liblustre (e.g. catamount) on a large cluster with >= 8 OSTs/OSS
1507 Description: System hang on startup
1508 Details : This bug allowed the liblustre (e.g. catamount) client to
1509 return to the app before handling all startup RPCs. This
1510 could leave the node unresponsive to lustre network traffic
1511 and manifested as a server ptllnd timeout.

1529 Description: Set external device read-only also
1530 Details : During a commanded failover stop, we set the disk device
1531 read-only while the server shuts down. We now also set any
1532 external journal device read-only at the same time.
1535 Frequency : when upgrading from 1.4 while trying to change parameters
1537 Description: The wrong (new) MDC name was used when setting parameters for
1538 upgraded MDT's. Also allows changing of OSC (and MDC)
1539 parameters if --writeconf is specified at tunefs upgrade time.
1542 Frequency : when setting specific ost indicies
1544 Description: QOS code breaks on skipped indicies
1545 Details : Add checks for missing OST indicies in the QOS code, so OSTs
1546 created with --index need not be sequential.
1548 Severity : enhancement
1550 Description: Add uninit_groups feature to ldiskfs2 to speed up e2fsck
1551 Details : The uninit_groups feature works in conjunction with the kernel
1552 filesystem code (ldiskfs2 only) and e2fsprogs-1.39-cfs6 to speed
1553 up the pass1 processing of e2fsck. This is a read-only feature
1554 in ldiskfs2 only, so older kernels and current ldiskfs cannot
1555 mount filesystems that have had this feature enabled.
1557 Severity : enhancement
1559 Description: Improve multi-block allocation algorithm to avoid fragmentation
1560 Details : The mballoc3 code (ldiskfs2 only) adds new mechanisms to improve
1561 allocation locality and avoid filesystem fragmentation.

1572 2.6.16.27-0.9 (SLES 10)
1573 * Recommended e2fsprogs version: 1.39.cfs5
1575 * Note that reiserfs quotas are disabled on SLES 10 in this kernel
1579 Frequency : occasional, depends on client load and configuration
1580 Bugzilla : 12181, 12203
1581 Description: data loss for recently-modified files
1583 Details : In some cases it is possible that recently written or created
1584 files may not be written to disk in a timely manner (this should
1585 normally be within 30s unless client IO load is very high).
1586 The problem appears as zero-length files or files that are a
1587 multiple of 1MB in size after a client crash or client eviction
1588 that are missing data at the end of the file.
1590 This problem is more likely to be hit on clients where files are
1591 repeatedly created and unlinked in the same directory, clients
1592 have a large amount of RAM, have many CPUs, the filesystem has
1593 many OSTs, the clients are rebooted frequently, and/or the files
1594 are not accessed by other nodes after being written.
1596 The presence of the problem can be detected by looking at
1597 /proc/sys/fs/inode-state. If the first number (nr_inodes) is
1598 smaller than the second (nr_unused) then dirty files will not
1599 be flushed automatically to disk. "sync; sleep 10" should be
1600 run several times on the node before unmounting it to update
1601 Lustre (this is also safe to run on nodes without this problem).
1603 There is also a related kernel bug in the RHEL4 4 2.6.9 kernel
1604 that can cause this same problem, so customers using that kernel
1605 also need to update the kernel in addition to Lustre. In order
1606 to properly fix this bug, the RHEL3 2.4.21 kernel is also updated.
1608 It is normal that files written just before a client crash (less
1609 than 30s) may not yet have been flushed to disk, even for local
1613 Frequency : frequent on thin XT3 nodes
1615 Description: UUID collision on thin XT3 Linux nodes
1616 Details : UUIDs on Compute Node Linux XT3 nodes were not generated
1617 randomly, since we relied on an insufficiently-seeded PRNG.
1622 Description: OSS hangs after "All ost request buffers busy"
1623 Details : A deadlock between quota and journal operations caused OSS
1624 hangs after printing "All ost request buffers busy."
1627 Frequency : always on liblustre builds
1629 Description: Cleanup compiler warnings on liblustre
1632 Frequency : always on liblustre builds on XT3
1634 Description: LC_CONFIG_CDEBUG don't run while build liblustre on XT3.
1638 Description: Addition of EXT3_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_DIR_NLINKS flag for
1639 > 32000 subdirectories
1640 Details : Add EXT3_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_DIR_NLINK flag to
1641 EXT3_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_SUPP. This flag will be set whenever
1642 subdirectory count crosses 32000. This will aid e2fsck to
1643 correctly handle more than 32000 subdirectories.
1646 Frequency : liblustre (e.g. catamount) on a large cluster with >= 8 OSTs/OSS
1648 Description: System hang on startup
1649 Details : This bug allowed the liblustre (e.g. catamount) client to
1650 return to the app before handling all startup RPCs. This
1651 could leave the node unresponsive to lustre network traffic
1652 and manifested as a server ptllnd timeout.
1654 Severity : enhancement
1656 Description: Add "/proc/sys/lustre/debug_peer_on_timeout"
1657 (liblustre envirable: LIBLUSTRE_DEBUG_PEER_ON_TIMEOUT)
1658 boolean to control whether to print peer debug info when a
1659 client's RPC times out.
1664 Description: make O_SYNC working on 2.6 kernels
1665 Details : 2.6 kernels use different method for mark pages for write,
1666 so need add a code to lustre for O_SYNC work.
1671 Description: Failure to close file and release space on NFS
1672 Details : Put inode details into lock acquired in ll_intent_file_open.
1673 Use mdc_intent_lock in ll_intent_open to properly
1674 detect all kind of errors unhandled by mdc_enqueue.
1679 Description: proc file read during shutdown sometimes raced obd removal,
1681 Details : Add lock to prevent obd access after proc file removal.
1684 Frequency : Only for files larger than 4GB on 32-bit clients.
1686 Description: improperly doing page alignment of locks
1687 Details : Modify lustre core code to use CFS_PAGE_* defines instead of
1688 PAGE_*. Make CFS_PAGE_MASK a 64-bit mask.
1693 Description: RPCs being resent when they shouldn't be
1694 Details : Some RPCs that should not be resent are being resent. This
1695 can cause inconsistencies in the RPC state machine. Do not
1696 resend such requests.
1699 Frequency : rare, only with NFS export
1701 Description: Crash on NFS re-export node
1702 Details : under very unusual load conditions an assertion is hit in
1703 ll_intent_file_open()
1706 Frequency : only if OST filesystem is corrupted
1708 Description: client incorrectly hits assertion in ptlrpc_replay_req()
1709 Details : for a short time RPCs with bulk IO are in the replay list,
1710 but replay of bulk IOs is unimplemented. If the OST filesystem
1711 is corrupted due to disk cache incoherency and then replay is
1712 started it is possible to trip an assertion. Avoid putting
1713 committed RPCs into the replay list at all to avoid this issue.
1718 Description: large O_DIRECT requests fail under memory pressure/fragmentation
1719 Details : Large single O_DIRECT read and write calls can fail to allocate
1720 a sufficiently large buffer to process the request. In case of
1721 allocation failure the allocation is retried with a smaller
1722 buffer and broken into smaller requests.
1724 Severity : enhancement
1726 Description: Add -o localflock option to simulate old noflock behaviour.
1727 Details : This will achieve local-only flock/fcntl locks coherentness.
1732 Description: versioning check is incomplete
1733 Details : Checking the version difference of client vs. server, report
1734 error if the gap is too big.
1739 Description: add support PG_writeback bit
1740 Details : add support for PG_writeback bit for Lustre, for more carefull
1741 work with page cache in 2.6 kernel. This also fix some deadlocks
1742 and remove hack for work O_SYNC with 2.6 kernel.
1744 Severity : enhancement
1746 Description: Add uninit_groups feature to ldiskfs2 to speed up e2fsck
1747 Details : The uninit_groups feature works in conjunction with the kernel
1748 filesystem code (ldiskfs2 only) and e2fsprogs-1.39-cfs6 to speed
1749 up the pass1 processing of e2fsck. This is a read-only feature
1750 in ldiskfs2 only, so older kernels and current ldiskfs cannot
1751 mount filesystems that have had this feature enabled.
1753 Severity : enhancement
1755 Description: Improve multi-block allocation algorithm to avoid fragmentation
1756 Details : The mballoc3 code (ldiskfs2 only) adds new mechanisms to improve
1757 allocation locality and avoid filesystem fragmentation.

1768 2.6.16.21-0.8 (SLES10)
1769 * Recommended e2fsprogs version: 1.39.cfs2-0
1771 * The backwards-compatible /proc/sys/portals symlink has been removed
1772 in this release. Before upgrading, please ensure that you change
1773 any configuration scripts or /etc/sysctl.conf files that access
1774 /proc/sys/portals/* or sysctl portals.* to use the corresponding
1775 entry in /proc/sys/lnet or sysctl lnet.*. This change can be made
1776 in advance of the upgrade on any system running Lustre 1.4.6 or
1777 newer, since /proc/sys/lnet was added in that version.
1778 * Note that reiserfs quotas are disabled on SLES 10 in this kernel
1782 Frequency : only when quota is used
1784 Description: avoid scanning export list for quota master
1785 Details : Change the algorithms to avoid scanning export list in order
1786 to improve the efficiency.
1789 Frequency : MDS failover only, very rarely
1791 Description: "went back in time" messages on mds failover
1792 Details : The greatest transno may be lost when the current operation
1793 finishes with an error (transno==0) and the client's last_rcvd
1794 record is over-written. Save the greatest transno in the
1795 mds_last_transno for this case.
1798 Frequency : always for specific kernels and striping counts
1800 Description: client may get "Matching packet too big" without ACL support
1801 Details : Clients compiled without CONFIG_FS_POSIX_ACL get an error message
1802 when trying to access files in certain configurations. The
1803 clients should in fact be denied when mounting because they do
1804 not understand ACLs.
1807 Frequency : Cray XT3 with more than 4000 clients and multiple jobs
1809 Description: many clients connecting with IO in progress causes connect timeouts
1810 Details : Avoid synchronous journal commits to avoid delays caused by many
1811 clients connecting/disconnecting when bulk IO is in progress.
1812 Queue liblustre connect requests on OST_REQUEST_PORTAL instead of
1813 OST_IO_PORTAL to avoid delays behind potentially many pending
1817 Frequency : occasionally with multiple writers to a single file
1819 Description: shared writes to file may result in wrong size reported by stat()
1820 Details : Allow growing of kms when extent lock is cancelled
1823 Frequency : always with random mmap IO to multi-striped file
1825 Description: mmap write might be lost if we are writing to a 'hole' in stripe
1826 Details : Only if the hole is at the end of OST object so that kms is too
1827 small. Fix is to increase kms accordingly in ll_nopage.
1830 Frequency : rare, only if OST filesystem is inconsistent with MDS filesystem
1832 Description: writes to a missing object would leak memory on the OST
1833 Details : If there is an inconsistency between the MDS and OST filesystems,
1834 such that the MDS references an object that doesn't exist, writes
1835 to that object will leak memory due to incorrect cleanup in the
1836 error handling path, eventually running out of memory on the OST.
1841 Description: Creating too long symlink causes lustre errors
1842 Details : Check symlink and name lengths before sending requests to MDS.
1845 Frequency : only if flock is enabled (not on by default)
1847 Description: posix locks not released on fd closure on 2.6.9+
1848 Details : We failed to add posix locks to list of inode locks on 2.6.9+
1849 kernels, this caused such locks not to be released on fd close and
1850 then assertions on fs unmount about still used locks.
1853 Frequency : MDS failover only, very rarely
1855 Description: clients may get ASSERTION(granted_lock != NULL)
1856 Details : When request was taking a long time, and a client was resending
1857 a getattr by name lock request. The were multiple lock requests
1858 with the same client lock handle and
1859 mds_getattr_name->fixup_handle_for_resent_request found one of the
1860 lock handles but later failed with ASSERTION(granted_lock != NULL).
1865 Description: handle->h_buffer_credits > 0, assertion failure
1866 Details : h_buffer_credits is zero after truncate, causing assertion
1867 failure. This patch extends the transaction or creates a new
1871 Frequency : NFS re-export or patchless client
1872 Bugzilla : 11179, 10796
1873 Description: Crash on NFS re-export node (__d_move)
1874 Details : We do not want to hash the dentry if we don't have a lock.
1875 But if this dentry is later used in d_move, we'd hit uninitialised
1876 list head d_hash, so we just do this to init d_hash field but
1877 leave dentry unhashed.
1880 Frequency : NFS re-export or patchless client
1882 Description: NFS exports has problem with symbolic link
1883 Details : lustre client didn't properly install dentry when re-exported
1884 to NFS or running patchless client.
1887 Frequency : NFS re-export or patchless client
1889 Description: Various nfs/patchless fixes.
1890 Details : fixes reuse disconected alias for lookup process - this fixes
1891 warning "find_exported_dentry: npd != pd",
1892 fix permission error with open files at nfs.
1893 fix apply umask when do revalidate.
1896 Frequency : occasional
1898 Description: Crash on NFS re-export node
1899 Details : calling clear_page() on the wrong pointer triggered oops in
1900 generic_mapping_read().
1903 Frequency : rarely, using O_DIRECT IO
1905 Description: unaligned directio crashes client with LASSERT
1906 Details : check for unaligned buffers before trying any requests.
1909 Frequency : rarely, using CFS RAID5 patches in non-standard kernel series
1911 Description: stale data returned from RAID cache
1912 Details : If only a small amount of IO is done to the RAID device before
1913 reading it again it is possible to get stale data from the RAID
1914 cache instead of reading it from disk.
1917 Frequency : always for sles10 kernel
1919 Description: sles10 support
1920 Details : ll_follow_link: compile fixes and using of nd_set_link
1921 under newer kernels.
1924 Frequency : depends on arch, kernel and compiler version, always on sles10
1927 Description: recursive or deep enough symlinks cause stack overflow
1928 Details : getting rid of large stack-allocated variable in
1932 Frequency : depends on hardware
1934 Description: lustre write performance loss in the SLES10 kernel
1935 Details : the performance loss is caused by using of write barriers in the
1936 ext3 code. The SLES10 kernel turns barrier support on by
1937 default. The fix is to undo that change for ldiskfs.

1946 2.4.21-47.0.1.EL (RHEL 3)
1947 2.6.12.6 vanilla (kernel.org)
1951 Frequency : quota enabled and large files being deleted
1953 Description: releasing more than 4GB of quota at once hangs OST
1954 Details : If a user deletes more than 4GB of files on a single OST it
1955 will cause the OST to spin in an infinite loop. Release
1956 quota in < 4GB chunks, or use a 64-bit value for 1.4.7.1+.
1961 Description: statfs data retrieved from /proc may be stale or zero
1962 Details : When reading per-device statfs data from /proc, in the
1963 {kbytes,files}_{total,free,avail} files, it may appear
1964 as zero or be out of date.
1967 Frequency : systems with MD RAID1 external journal devices
1969 Description: lconf's call to blkid is confused by RAID1 journal devices
1970 Details : Use the "blkid -l" flag to locate the MD RAID device instead
1971 of returning all block devices that match the journal UUID.
1974 Frequency : always, for aggregate stripe size over 4GB
1976 Description: "lfs setstripe" fails assertion when setting 4GB+ stripe width
1977 Details : Using "lfs setstripe" to set stripe size * stripe count over 4GB
1978 will fail the kernel with "ASSERTION(lsm->lsm_xfersize != 0)"
1981 Frequency : always if "lfs find" used on a local file/directory
1983 Description: "lfs find" segfaults if used on a local file/directory
1984 Details : The case where a directory component was not specified wasn't
1985 handled correctly. Handle this properly.
1988 Frequency : always on ppc64
1990 Description: the write to an ext3 filesystem mounted with mballoc got stuck
1991 Details : ext3_mb_generate_buddy() uses find_next_bit() which does not
1992 perform endianness conversion.
1995 Frequency : rarely (truncate to non-zero file size after write under load)
1996 Bugzilla : 10730, 10687
1997 Description: Files padded with zeros to next 4K multiple
1998 Details : With filesystems mounted using the "extents" option (2.6 kernels)
1999 it is possible that files that are truncated to a non-zero size
2000 immediately after being written are filled with zero bytes beyond
2001 the truncated size. No file data is lost.
2003 Severity : enhancement
2005 Description: Allow recovery/failover for liblustre clients.
2006 Details : liblustre clients were unaware of failover configurations until
2009 Severity : enhancement
2011 Description: user file locks should fail when not mounting with flock option
2012 Details : Set up an error-returning stub in ll_file_operations.lock field
2013 to prevent incorrect behaviour when client is mounted without
2014 flock option. Also, set up properly f_op->flock field for
2018 Frequency : always on ia64
2020 Description: "lfs df" loops on printing out MDS statfs information
2021 Details : The obd_ioctl_data was not initialized and in some systems
2022 this caused a failure during the ioctl that did not return
2023 an error. Initialize the struct and return an error on failure.
2026 Frequency : SLES 9 only
2028 Description: Error of copying files with lustre special EAs as root
2029 Details : Client side always return success for setxattr call for lustre
2030 special xattr (currently only "trusted.lov").
2033 Frequency : rarely on clusters with both ia64+i386 clients
2035 Description: ia64+i686 clients doing shared IO on the same file may LBUG
2036 Details : In rare cases when both ia64+i686 (or other mixed-PAGE_SIZE)
2037 clients are doing concurrent writes to the same file it is
2038 possible that the ia64 clients may LASSERT because the OST
2039 extent locks are not PAGE_SIZE aligned. Ensure that grown
2040 locks are always aligned on the request boundary.
2043 Frequency : specific use, occasional
2045 Description: Overwriting in use executable truncates on-disk binary image
2046 Details : If one node attempts to overwrite an executable in use by
2047 another node, we now correctly return ETXTBSY instead of
2048 truncating the file.
2050 Severity : enhancement
2052 Description: Async OSC create to avoid the blocking unnecessarily.
2053 Details : If a OST has no remain object, system will block on the creating
2054 when need to create a new object on this OST. Now, ways use
2055 pre-created objects when available, instead of blocking on an
2056 empty osc while others are not empty. If we must block, we block
2057 for the shortest possible period of time.
2062 Description: chmod on Lustre root is propagated to other clients
2063 Details : Re-validate root's dentry in ll_lookup_it to avoid having it
2064 invalid by the follow_mount time.
2067 Frequency : liblustre clients only
2069 Description: Race in 'instant cancel' lock handling could lead to such locks
2070 never to be granted in case of SMP MDS
2071 Details : Do not destroy not yet granted but cbpending locks in
2075 Frequency : replay/resend of open
2077 Description: non null lock assetion failure in mds_intent_policy
2078 Details : Trying to replay/resend lockless open requests resulted in
2079 mds_open() returning 0 with no lock. Now it sets a flag if
2080 a lock is going to be returned.
2082 Severity : enhancement
2084 Description: Checksum enhancements
2085 Details : New checksum enhancements allow for resending RPCs that failed
2088 Severity : enhancement
2090 Description: Tunables on number of dirty pages in cacche
2091 Details : Allow to set limit on number of dirty pages cached.
2096 Description: client crash on unmount - lock still has references
2097 Details : In some error handling cases it was possible to leak a lock
2098 reference on a client while accessing a file. This was not
2099 harmful to the client during operation, but would cause the
2100 client to crash when the filesystem is unmounted.
2103 Frequency : specific case, rare
2105 Description: ETXTBSY on mds though file not in use by client
2106 Details : ETXTBSY is no longer incorrectly returned when attempting to
2107 chmod or chown a directory that the user previously tried to
2108 execute or a currently-executing binary.
2111 Frequency : extremely rare except on liblustre-based clients
2113 Description: Lustre space not freed when files are deleted
2114 Details : Clean up open-unlinked files after client eviction. Previously
2115 the unlink was skipped and the files remained as orphans.
2120 Description: OST failure "would be an LBUG" in waiting_locks_callback()
2121 Details : In some cases it was possible to send a blocking callback to
2122 a client doing a glimpse, even though that client didn't get
2123 a lock granted. When the glimpse lock is cancelled on the OST
2124 the freed lock is left on the waiting list and corrupted the list.
2127 Frequency : all core dumps
2129 Description: Broke core dumps to lustre
2130 Details : Negative dentry may be unhashed if parent does not have UPDATE
2131 lock, but some callers, e.g. do_coredump, expect dentry to be
2132 hashed after successful create, hash it in ll_create_it.

2166 Bugzilla : 5719, 9635, 9792, 9684
2167 Description: OST (or MDS) trips assertions in (re)connection under heavy load
2168 Details : If a server is under heavy load and cannot reply to new
2169 connection requests before the client resends the (re)connect,
2170 the connection handling code can behave badly if two service
2171 threads are concurrently handing separate (re)connections from
2172 the same client. Add better locking to the connection handling
2173 code, and ensure that only a single connection will be processed
2174 for a given client UUID, even if the lock is dropped.
2176 Severity : enhancement
2178 Description: add TCP zero-copy support to kernel
2179 Details : Add support to the kernel TCP stack to allow zero-copy bulk
2180 sends if the hardware supports scatter-gather and checksumming.
2181 This allows socklnd to do client-write and server-read more
2182 efficiently and reduce CPU utilization from skbuf copying.
2185 Frequency : only if NFS exporting from client
2187 Description: NULL pointer deref in ll_iocontrol() if chattr mknod file
2188 Details : If setting attributes on a file created under NFS that had
2189 never been opened it would be possible to oops the client
2190 if the file had no objects.
2193 Frequency : always for liblustre
2195 Description: liblustre client does MDS+OSTs setattr RPC for each write
2196 Details : When doing a write from a liblustre client, the client
2197 incorrectly issued an RPC to the MDS and each OST the file was
2198 striped over in order to update the timestamps. When writing
2199 with small chunks and many clients this could overwhelm the MDS
2200 with RPCs. In all cases it would slow down the write because
2201 these RPCs are unnecessary.
2203 Severity : enhancement
2205 Description: allow number of MDS service threads to be changed at module load
2206 Details : It is now possible to change the number of MDS service threads
2207 running. Adding "options mds mds_num_threads={N}" to the MDS's
2208 /etc/modprobe.conf will set the number of threads for the next
2209 time Lustre is restarted (assuming the "mds" module is also
2210 reloaded at that time). The default number of threads will
2211 stay the same, 32 for most systems.
2216 Description: OST crash if filesystem is unformatted or corrupt
2217 Details : If an OST is started on a device that has never been formatted
2218 or if the filesystem is corrupt and cannot even mount then the
2219 error handling cleanup routines would dereference a NULL pointer.
2224 Description: NULL pointer deref in llap_from_page.
2225 Details : get_cache_page_nowait can return a page with NULL (or otherwise
2226 incorrect) mapping if the page was truncated/reclaimed while it was
2227 searched for. Check for this condition and skip such pages when
2228 doing readahead. Introduce extra check to llap_from_page() to
2229 verify page->mapping->host is non-NULL (so page is not anonymous).
2232 Frequency : Sometimes when using sys_sendfile
2234 Description: "page not covered by a lock" warnings from ll_readpage
2235 Details : sendfile called ll_readpage without right page locks present.
2236 Now we introduced ll_file_sendfile that does necessary locking
2237 around call to generic_file_sendfile() much like we do in
2241 Frequency : with certain MDS communication failures at client mount time
2243 Description: NULL pointer deref after failed client mount
2244 Details : a client connection request may delayed by the network layer
2245 and not be sent until after the PTLRPC layer has timed out the
2246 request. If the client fails the mount immediately it will try
2247 to clean up before the network times out the request. Add a
2248 reference from the request import to the obd device and delay
2249 the cleanup until the network drops the request.
2252 Frequency : occasionally during client (re)connect
2254 Description: assertion failure during client (re)connect
2255 Details : processing a client connection request may be delayed by the
2256 client or server longer than the client connect timeout. This
2257 causes the client to resend the connection request. If the
2258 original connection request is replied in this interval, the
2259 client may trip an assertion failure in ptlrpc_connect_interpret()
2260 which thought it would be the only running connect process.
2263 Frequency : only with obd_echo servers and clients that are rebooted
2265 Description: kernel BUG accessing uninitialized data structure
2266 Details : When running an obd_echo server it did not start the ping_evictor
2267 thread, and when a client was evicted an uninitialized data
2268 structure was accessed. Start the ping_evictor in the RPC
2269 service startup instead of the OBD startup.
2271 Severity : enhancement
2272 Bugzilla : 10193 (patchless)
2273 Description: Remove dependency on various unexported kernel interfaces.
2274 Details : No longer need reparent_to_init, exit_mm, exit_files,
2275 sock_getsockopt, filemap_populate, FMODE_EXEC, put_filp.
2278 Frequency : rare (only users of deprecated and unsupported LDAP config)
2280 Description: write_conf for zeroconf mount queried LDAP incorrectly for client
2281 Details : LDAP apparently contains 'lustreName' attributes instead of
2282 'name'. A simple remapping of the name is sufficient.
2285 Frequency : rare (only with non-default dump_on_timeout debug enabled)
2287 Description: waiting_locks_callback trips kernel BUG if client is evicted
2288 Details : Running with the dump_on_timeout debug flag turned on makes
2289 it possible that the waiting_locks_callback() can try to dump
2290 the Lustre kernel debug logs from an interrupt handler. Defer
2291 this log dumping to the expired_lock_main() thread.
2293 Severity : enhancement
2295 Description: Support NFS exporting on 2.6 kernels.
2296 Details : Implement non-rawops metadata methods for NFS server to use without
2297 changing NFS server code.
2300 Frequency : very rare (synthetic metadata workload only)
2302 Description: two racing renames might cause an MDS thread to deadlock
2303 Details : Running the "racer" program may cause one MDS thread to rename
2304 a file from being the source of a rename to being the target of
2305 a rename at exactly the same time that another thread is doing
2306 so, and the second thread has already enqueued these locks after
2307 doing a lookup of the target and is trying to relock them in
2308 order. Ensure that we don't try to re-lock the same resource.
2311 Frequency : only very large systems with liblustre clients
2313 Description: slow eviction of liblustre clients with the "evict_by_nid" RPC
2314 Details : Use asynchronous set_info RPCs to send the "evict_by_nid" to
2315 all OSTs in parallel. This allows the eviction of stale liblustre
2316 clients to proceed much faster than if they were done in series,
2317 and also offers similar improvements for other set_info RPCs.
2322 Description: excessive CPU usage during initial read phase on client
2323 Details : During the initial read phase on a client, it would agressively
2324 retry readahead on the file, consuming too much CPU and impacting
2325 performance (since 1.4.5.8). Improve the readahead algorithm
2326 to avoid this, and also improve some other common cases (read
2327 of small files in particular, where "small" is files smaller than
2328 /proc/fs/lustre/llite/*/max_read_ahead_whole_mb, 2MB by default).
2333 Description: MDS crash when receiving packet with unknown intent.
2334 Details : Do not LBUG in unknown intent case, just return -EFAULT
2336 Severity : enhancement
2337 Bugzilla : 9293, 9385
2338 Description: MDS RPCs are serialised on client. This is unnecessary for some.
2339 Details : Do not serialize getattr (non-intent version) and statfs.
2342 Frequency : occasional, when OST network is overloaded/intermittent
2344 Description: client evicted by OST after bulk IO timeout
2345 Details : If a client sends a bulk IO request (read or write) the OST
2346 may evict the client if it is unresposive to its data GET/PUT
2347 request. This is incorrect if the network is overloaded (takes
2348 too long to transfer the RPC data) or dropped the OST GET/PUT
2349 request. There is no need to evict the client at all, since
2350 the pinger and/or lock callbacks will handle this, and the
2351 client can restart the bulk request.
2354 Frequency : Always when mmapping file with no objects
2356 Description: client crashes when mmapping file with no objects
2357 Details : Check that we actually have objects in a file before doing any
2358 operations on objects in ll_vm_open, ll_vm_close and
2364 Description: Request leak when working with deleted CWD
2365 Details : Introduce advanced request refcount tracking for requests
2366 referenced from lustre intent.
2368 Severity : Enhancement
2370 Description: Cache open file handles on client.
2371 Details : MDS now will return special lock along with openhandle, if
2372 requested and client is allowed to hold openhandle, even if unused,
2373 until such a lock is revoked. Helps NFS a lot, since NFS is opening
2374 closing files for every read/write openration.
2376 Severity : Enhancement
2378 Description: Cache open negative dentries on client when possible.
2379 Details : Guard negative dentries with UPDATE lock on parent dir, drop
2380 negative dentries on lock revocation.
2385 Description: Remounting a client read-only wasn't possible with a zconf mount
2386 Details : It wasn't possible to remount a client read-only with llmount.
2388 Severity : enhancement
2389 Description: Include MPICH 1.2.6 Lustre ADIO interface patch
2390 Details : In lustre/contrib/ or /usr/share/lustre in RPM a patch for
2391 MPICH is included to add Lustre-specific ADIO interfaces.
2392 This is based closely on the UFS ADIO layer and only differs
2393 in file creation, in order to allow the OST striping to be set.
2394 This is user-contributed code and not supported by CFS.
2399 Description: extended inode attributes (immutable, append-only) work improperly
2400 when 2.4 and 2.6 kernels are used on client/server or vice versa
2401 Details : Introduce kernel-independent values for these flags.
2403 Severity : enhancement
2406 Description: Allow fractional MB tunings for lustre in /proc/ filesystem.
2407 Details : Many of the /proc/ tunables can only be tuned at a megabyte
2408 granularity. Now, Fractional MB granularity is be supported,
2409 this is very useful for low memory system.
2411 Severity : enhancement
2413 Description: Getattr by fid
2414 Details : Getting a file attributes by its fid, obtaining UPDATE|LOOKUP
2415 locks, avoids extra getattr rpc requests to MDS, allows '/' to
2416 have locks and avoids getattr rpc requests for it on every stat.
2419 Frequency : Always, for filesystems larger than 2TB
2421 Description: ldiskfs crash at mount for filesystem larger than 2TB with mballoc
2422 Details : Kenrel kmalloc limits allocations to 128kB and this prevents
2423 filesystems larger than 2TB to be mounted with mballoc enabled.
2426 Frequency : Always, for 32-bit kernel without CONFIG_LBD and filesystem > 2TB
2428 Description: ldiskfs crash at mount for filesystem larger than 2TB with mballoc
2429 Details : If a 32-bit kernel is compiled without CONFIG_LBD enabled and a
2430 filesystems larger than 2TB is mounted then the kernel will
2431 silently corrupt the start of the filesystem. CONFIG_LBD is
2432 enabled for all CFS-supported kernels, but the possibility of
2433 this happening with a modified kernel config exists.
2435 Severity : enhancement
2437 Description: add client O_DIRECT support for 2.6 kernels
2438 Details : It is now possible to do O_DIRECT reads and writes to files
2439 in the Lustre client mountpoint on 2.6 kernel clients.
2441 Severity : enhancement
2443 Description: parallel glimpse, setattr, statfs, punch, destroy requests
2444 Details : Sends glimpse, setattr, statfs, punch, destroy requests to OSTs in
2445 parallel, not waiting for response from every OST before sending
2446 a rpc to the next OST.
2451 Description: setattr vs write race when updating file timestamps
2452 Details : Client processes that update a file timestamp into the past
2453 right after writing to the file (e.g. tar) it is possible that
2454 the updated file modification time can be reset to the current
2455 time due to a race between processing the setattr and write RPC.
2457 Severity : enhancement
2459 Description: Bring 'lfs find' closer in line with regular Linux find.
2460 Details : lfs find util supports -atime, -mtime, -ctime, -maxdepth, -print,
2461 -print0 options and obtains all the needed info through the lustre
2464 Severity : enhancement
2466 Description: support up to 1024 configured devices on one node
2467 Details : change obd_dev array from statically allocated to dynamically
2468 allocated structs as they are first used to reduce memory usage
2473 Description: Flush dirty partially truncated pages during truncate
2474 Details : Immediatelly flush partially truncated pages in filter_setattr,
2475 this way we completely avoid having any pages in page cache on OST
2476 and can retire ugly workarounds during writes to flush such pages.
2481 Description: i_sem vs transaction deadlock in mds_obd_destroy during unlink.
2482 Details : protect inode from truncation within vfs_unlink() context
2483 just take a reference before calling vfs_unlink() and release it
2484 when parent's i_sem is free.
2489 Description: last_id value checked outside lock on OST caused LASSERT failure
2490 Details : If there were multiple MDS->OST object precreate requests in
2491 flight, it was possible that the OST's last object id was checked
2492 outside a lock and incorrectly tripped an assertion. Move checks
2493 inside locks, and discard old precreate requests.
2496 Frequency : always, if extents are used on OSTs
2498 Description: index ei_leaf_hi (48-bit extension) is not zeroed in extent index
2499 Details : OSTs using the extents format would not zero the high 16 bits of
2500 the index physical block number. This is not a problem for any
2501 OST filesystems smaller than 16TB, and no kernels support ext3
2502 filesystems larger than 16TB yet. This is fixed in 1.4.7 (all
2503 new/modified files) and can be fixed for existing filesystems
2504 with e2fsprogs-1.39-cfs1.
2509 Description: import connection selection may be incorrect if timer wraps
2510 Details : Using a 32-bit jiffies timer with HZ=1000 may cause backup
2511 import connections to be ignored if the 32-bit jiffies counter
2512 wraps. Use a 64-bit jiffies counter.
2515 Frequency : very large clusters immediately after boot
2517 Description: LNET request buffers exhausted under heavy short-term load
2518 Details : If a large number of client requests are generated on a service
2519 that has previously never seen so many requests it is possible
2520 that the request buffer growth cannot keep up with the spike in
2521 demand. Instead of dropping incoming requests, they are held in
2522 the LND until the RPC service can accept more requests.
2525 Frequency : Sometimes during replay
2527 Description: Assertion failure in ll_local_open after replay.
2528 Details : If replay happened on an open request reply before we were able
2529 to set replay handler, reply will become not swabbed tripping the
2530 assertion in ll_local_open. Now we set the handler right after
2531 recognising of open request
2534 Frequency : very rare
2536 Description: kernel reports "badness in vsnprintf"
2537 Details : Reading from the "recovery_status" /proc file in small chunks
2538 may cause a negative length in lprocfs_obd_rd_recovery_status()
2539 call to vsnprintf() (which is otherwise harmless). Exit early
2540 if there is no more space in the output buffer.
2542 Severity : enhancement
2544 Description: clear OBD RPC statistics by writing to them
2545 Details : It is now possible to clear the OBD RPC statistics by writing
2546 to the "stats" file.
2551 Description: Client mtime is not the same on different clients after utimes
2552 Details : In some cases, the client was using the utimes() syscall on
2553 a file cached on another node. The clients now validate the
2554 ctime from the MDS + OSTs to determine which one is right.
2559 Description: Inability to activate failout mode
2560 Details : lconf script incorrectly assumed that in pythong string's numeric
2561 value is used in comparisons.
2564 Frequency : always with multiple stripes per file
2566 Description: Inefficient object allocation for mutli-stripe files
2567 Details : When selecting which OSTs to stripe files over, for files with
2568 a stripe count that divides evenly into the number of OSTs,
2569 the MDS is always picking the same starting OST for each file.
2570 Return the OST selection heuristic to the original design.
2575 Description: mount failures may take full timeout to return an error
2576 Details : Under some heavy load conditions it is possible that a
2577 failed mount can wait for the full obd_timeout interval,
2578 possibly several minutes, before reporting an error.
2579 Instead return an error as soon as the status is known.
2581 Frequency : quota enabled and large files being deleted
2583 Description: releasing more than 4GB of quota at once hangs OST
2584 Details : If a user deletes more than 4GB of files on a single OST it
2585 will cause the OST to spin in an infinite loop. Release
2586 quota in < 4GB chunks, or use a 64-bit value for 1.4.7.1+.
2591 Description: statfs data retrieved from /proc may be stale or zero
2592 Details : When reading per-device statfs data from /proc, in the
2593 {kbytes,files}_{total,free,avail} files, it may appear
2594 as zero or be out of date.
2597 Frequency : systems with MD RAID1 external journal devices
2599 Description: lconf's call to blkid is confused by RAID1 journal devices
2600 Details : Use the "blkid -l" flag to locate the MD RAID device instead
2601 of returning all block devices that match the journal UUID.
2604 Frequency : always, for aggregate stripe size over 4GB
2606 Description: assertion fails when trying to use 4GB stripe size
2607 Details : Use "setstripe" to set stripe size over 4GB will fail the kernel,
2608 complaining "ASSERTION(lsm->lsm_xfersize != 0)"
2611 Frequency : always on ppc64
2613 Description: the first write on an ext3 filesystem with mballoc got stuck
2614 Details : ext3_mb_generate_buddy() uses find_next_bit() which does not
2615 perform endianness conversion.

2619 02-14-2006 Cluster File Systems, Inc. <info@clusterfs.com>
2621 * WIRE PROTOCOL CHANGE. This version of Lustre networking WILL NOT
2622 INTEROPERATE with older versions automatically. Please read the
2623 user documentation before upgrading any part of a live system.
2624 * WARNING: Lustre networking configuration changes are required with
2625 this release. See https://bugzilla.clusterfs.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10052
2628 * Support for kernels:
2629 2.6.9-22.0.2.EL (RHEL 4)
2630 2.6.5-7.244 (SLES 9)
2631 2.6.12.6 vanilla (kernel.org)
2634 Severity : enhancement
2635 Bugzilla : 7981/8208
2636 Description: Introduced Lustre Networking (LNET)
2637 Details : LNET is new networking infrastructure for Lustre, it includes
2638 a reorganized network configuration mode (see the user
2639 documentation for full details) as well as support for routing
2640 between different network fabrics. Lustre Networking Devices
2641 (LNDs) for the supported network fabrics have also been
2642 created for this new infrastructure.
2644 Severity : enhancement
2645 Description: Introduced Access control lists
2646 Details : clients can set ACLs on files and directories in order to have
2647 more fine-grained permissions than the standard Unix UGO+RWX.
2648 The MDS must be started with the "-o acl" mount option.
2650 Severity : enhancement
2651 Description: Introduced filesystem quotas
2652 Details : Administrators may now establish per-user quotas on the
2655 Severity : enhancement
2657 Description: Configuration change for the XT3
2658 The PTLLND is now used to run Lustre over Portals on the XT3
2659 The configure option(s) --with-cray-portals are no longer used.
2660 Rather --with-portals=<path-to-portals-includes> is used to
2661 enable building on the XT3. In addition to enable XT3 specific
2662 features the option --enable-cray-xt3 must be used.
2667 Description: Running on many-way SMP OSTs can trigger oops in llcd_send()
2668 Details : A race between allocating a new llcd and re-getting the llcd_lock
2669 allowed another thread to grab newly-allocated llcd.
2671 Severity : enhancement
2673 Description: 2.6 OST async journal commit and locking fix to improve performance
2674 Details : The filter_direct_io()+filter_commitrw_write() journal commits for
2675 2.6 kernels are now async as they already were in 2.4 kernels so
2676 that they can commit concurrently with the network bulk transfer.
2677 For block-allocated files the filter allocation semaphore is held
2678 to avoid filesystem fragmentation during allocation. BKL lock
2679 removed for 2.6 xattr operations where it is no longer needed.
2684 Description: lconf incorrectly determined whether two IP networks could talk
2685 Details : In some more complicated routing and multiple-network
2686 configurations, lconf will avoid trying to make a network
2687 connection to a disjoint part of the IP space. It was doing the
2688 math incorrectly for one set of cases.
2693 Description: Fix for potential infinite loop processing records in an llog.
2694 Details : If an llog record is corrupted/zeroed, it is possible to loop
2695 forever in llog_process(). Validate the llog record length
2696 and skip the remainder of the block on error.
2699 Frequency : occasional (liblustre only)
2701 Description: liblustre could not open files whose last component is a symlink
2702 Details : sysio_path_walk() would incorrectly pass the open intent to
2703 intermediate path components.
2706 Frequency : rare (liblustre only with non-standard tuning)
2707 Bugzilla : 7201 (7350)
2708 Description: Tuning the MDC DLM LRU size to zero triggers client LASSERT
2709 Details : llu_lookup_finish_locks() tries to set lock data on a lock
2710 after it has been released, only do this for referenced locks
2712 Severity : enhancement
2714 Description: specifying an (invalid) directory default stripe_size of -1
2715 would reset the directory default striping
2716 Details : stripe_size -1 was used internally to signal directory stripe
2717 removal, now use "all default" to signal dir stripe removal
2718 as a directory striping of "all default" is not useful
2721 Frequency : common for large clusters running liblustre clients
2723 Description: doing an ls when liblustre clients are running is slow
2724 Details : sending a glimpse AST to a liblustre client waits for every AST
2725 to time out, as liblustre clients will not respond. Since they
2726 cannot cache data we refresh the OST lock LVB from disk instead.
2728 Severity : enhancement
2730 Description: doing an ls at the same time as file IO can be slow
2731 Details : enqueue and other "small" requests can be blocked behind many
2732 large IO requests. Create a new OST IO portal for non-IO
2733 requests so they can be processed faster.
2736 Frequency : rare (only HPUX clients mounting unsupported re-exported NFS vol)
2738 Description: an HPUX NFS client would get -EACCESS when ftruncate()ing a newly
2739 created file with mode 000
2740 Details : the Linux NFS server relies on an MDS_OPEN_OWNEROVERRIDE hack to
2741 allow an ftruncate() as a non-root user to a file with mode 000.
2742 Lustre now respects this flag to disable mode checks when
2743 truncating a file owned by the user
2746 Frequency : liblustre-only, when liblustre client dies unexpectedly or becomes
2749 Description: Revoking locks from clients that went dead or catatonic might take
2751 Details : New lock flags FL_CANCEL_ON_BLOCK used by liblustre makes
2752 cancellation of such locks instant on servers without waiting for
2753 any reply from clients. Clients drops these locks when cancel
2754 notification from server is received without replying.
2757 Frequency : liblustre-only, when liblustre client dies or becomes busy
2759 Description: Doing ls on Linux clients can take a long time with active
2761 Details : Liblustre client cannot handle ASTs in timely manner, so avoid
2762 granting such locks to it in the first place if possible. Locks
2763 are taken by proxy on the OST during the read or write and
2764 dropped immediately afterward. Add connect flags handling, do
2765 not grant locks to liblustre clients for glimpse ASTs.
2767 Severity : enhancement
2769 Description: Improve read-ahead algorithm to avoid excessive IO for random reads
2770 Details : Existing read-ahead algorithm is tuned for the case of streamlined
2771 sequential reads and behaves badly with applications doing random
2772 reads. Improve it by reading ahead at least read region, and
2773 avoiding excessive large RPC for small reads.
2775 Severity : enhancement
2777 Description: Creating more than 1000 files for a single job may cause a load
2778 imbalance on the OSTs if there are also a large number of OSTs.
2779 Details : qos_prep_create() uses an OST index reseed value that is an
2780 even multiple of the number of available OSTs so that if the
2781 reseed happens in the middle of the object allocation it will
2782 still utilize the OSTs as uniformly as possible.
2787 Description: OST or MDS may oops in ping_evictor_main()
2788 Details : ping_evictor_main() drops obd_dev_lock if deleting a stale export
2789 but doesn't restart at beginning of obd_exports_timed list
2792 Severity : enhancement
2794 Description: improve by-nid export eviction on the MDS and OST
2795 Details : allow multiple exports with the same NID to be evicted at one
2796 time without re-searching the exports list.
2799 Frequency : rare, only with supplementary groups enabled on SMP 2.6 kernels
2801 Description: MDS may oops in groups_free()
2802 Details : in rare race conditions a newly allocated group_info struct is
2803 freed again, and this can be NULL. The 2.4 compatibility code
2804 for groups_free() checked for a NULL pointer, but 2.6 did not.
2807 Frequency : common for liblustre clients doing little filesystem IO
2808 Bugzilla : 9352, 7313
2809 Description: server may evict liblustre clients accessing contended locks
2810 Details : if a client is granted a lock or receives a completion AST
2811 with a blocking AST already set it would not reply to the AST
2812 for LDLM_FL_CANCEL_ON_BLOCK locks. It now replies to such ASTs.
2815 Frequency : lfs setstripe, only systems with more than 160 OSTs
2817 Description: unable to set striping with a starting offset beyond OST 160
2818 Details : llapi_create_file() incorrectly limited the starting stripe
2819 index to the maximum single-file stripe count.
2822 Frequency : LDAP users only
2824 Description: lconf did not handle in-kernel recovery with LDAP properly
2825 Details : lconf/LustreDB get_refs() is searching the wrong namespace
2827 Severity : enhancement
2829 Description: bind OST threads to NUMA nodes to improve performance
2830 Details : all OST threads are uniformly bound to CPUs on a single NUMA
2831 node and do their allocations there to localize memory access
2833 Severity : enhancement
2835 Description: llmount can determine client NID directly from Myrinet (GM)
2836 Details : the client NID code from gmnalnid was moved directly into

2838 client NID explicitly when mounting GM clients with zeroconf
2841 Frequency : if client is started with down MDS
2843 Description: if client is started with down MDS mount hangs in ptlrpc_queue_wait
2844 Details : Having an LWI_INTR() wait event (interruptible, but no timeout)
2845 will wait indefinitely in ptlrpc_queue_wait->l_wait_event() after
2846 ptlrpc_import_delayed_req() because we didn't check if the
2847 request was interrupted, and we also didn't break out of the
2848 event loop if there was no timeout
2853 Description: data loss during non-page-aligned writes to a single file from
2854 both multiple nodes and multiple threads on one node at same time
2855 Details : updates to KMS and lsm weren't protected by common lock. Resulting
2856 inconsistency led to false short-reads, that were cached and later
2857 used by ->prepare_write() to fill in partially written page,
2858 leading to data loss.
2861 Frequency : always, if lconf --abort_recovery used

2876 Description: add support for EAs (user and system) on lustre filesystems
2877 Details : it is now possible to store extended attributes in the Lustre
2878 client filesystem, and with the user_xattr mount option it
2879 is possible to allow users to store EAs on their files also
2881 Severity : enhancement
2883 Description: Add possibility (config option) to show minimal available OST free
2885 Details : When compiled with --enable-mindf configure option, statfs(2)
2886 (and so, df) will return least minimal free space available from
2887 all OSTs as amount of free space on FS, instead of summary of
2888 free spaces of all OSTs.
2890 Severity : enhancement
2892 Description: do not expand extent locks acquired on OST-side
2893 Details : Modify ldlm_extent_policy() to not expand local locks, acquired
2894 by server: they are not cached anyway.
2897 Frequency : when mmap is used/binaries executed from Lustre
2899 Description: Unmmap pages before throwing them away from read cache.
2900 Details : llap_shrink cache now attempts to unmap pages before discarding
2901 them (if unmapping failed - do not discard). SLES9 kernel has
2902 extra checks that trigger if this unmapping is not done first.
2907 Description: lconf didn't resolve symlinks before checking to see whether a
2908 given mountpoint was already in use
2911 Frequency : when migrating failover services
2912 Bugzilla : 6395, 9514
2913 Description: When migrating a subset of services from a node (e.g. failback
2914 from a failover service node) the remaining services would
2915 time out and evict clients.
2916 Details : lconf --force (implied by --failover) sets the global obd_timeout
2917 to 5 seconds in order to quickly disconnect, but this caused
2918 other RPCs to time out too quickly. Do not change the global
2919 obd_timeout for force cleanup, only set it for DISCONNECT RPCs.

2922 Frequency : if MDS is started with down OST
2923 Bugzilla : 9439,5706
2924 Description: Allow startup/shutdown of an MDS without depending on the
2925 availability of the OSTs.
2926 Details : Asynchronously call mds_lov_synchronize during MDS startup.
2927 Add appropriate locking and lov-osc refcounts for safe
2928 cleaning. Add osc abort_inflight calls in case the
2929 synchronize never started.
2932 Frequency : occasional (Cray XT3 only)
2934 Description: root not authorized to access files in CRAY_PORTALS environment
2935 Details : The client process capabilities were not honoured on the MDS in
2936 a CRAY_PORTALS/CRAY_XT3 environment. If the file had previously
2937 been accessed by an authorized user then root was able to access
2938 the file on the local client also. The root user capabilities
2939 are now allowed on the MDS, as this environment has secure UID.
2942 Frequency : occasional
2944 Description: ldiskfs "too long searching" message happens too often
2945 Details : A debugging message (otherwise harmless) prints too often on
2946 the OST console. This has been reduced to only happen when
2947 there are fragmentation problems on the filesystem.
2952 Description: Division by zero in statfs when all OSCs are inactive
2953 Details : lov_get_stripecnt() returns zero due to incorrect order of checks,
2954 lov_statfs divides by value returned by lov_get_stripecnt().
2958 Bugzilla : 9489, 3273
2959 Description: First write from each client to each OST was only 4kB in size,
2960 to initialize client writeback cache, which caused sub-optimal
2961 RPCs and poor layout on disk for the first writen file.
2962 Details : Clients now request an initial cache grant at (re)connect time
2963 and so that they can start streaming writes to the cache right
2964 away and always do full-sized RPCs if there is enough data.
2965 If the OST is rebooted the client also re-establishes its grant
2966 so that client cached writes will be honoured under the grant.
2971 Description: Slow ls (and stat(2) syscall) on files residing on IO-loaded OSTs
2972 Details : Now I/O RPCs go to different portal number and (presumably) fast
2973 lock requests (and glimses) and other RPCs get their own service
2974 threads pool that should be able to service those RPCs

2980 issue warnings at client side if client is too old. Also for
2981 liblustre clients there is ability to refuse connection of too old

2984 filled with version info. That info is later checked by server and
2988 Frequency : rare, liblustre only.

2990 Description: Two simultaneous writes from liblustre at offset within same page
2991 might proceed at the same time overwriting eachother with stale
2993 Details : I/O lock withing llu_file_prwv was released too early, before data
2994 actually was hitting the wire. Extended lock-holding time until
2995 server acknowledges receiving data.
2998 Frequency : extremely rare. Never observed in practice.
3000 Description: avoid generating lustre_handle cookie of 0.
3001 Details : class_handle_hash() generates handle cookies by incrementing
3002 global counter, and can hit 0 occasionaly (this is unlikely, but
3003 not impossible, because initial value of cookie counter is
3004 selected randonly). Value of 0 is used as a sentinel meaning
3005 "unassigned handle" --- avoid it. Also coalesce two critical
3006 sections in this function into one.
3008 Severity : enhancement
3010 Description: allow liblustre clients to delegate truncate locking to OST
3011 Details : To avoid overhead of locking, liblustre client instructs OST to
3012 take extent lock in ost_punch() on client's behalf. New connection
3013 flag is added to handle backward compatibility.
3015 Severity : enhancement

3020 OSS's /etc/modules.conf or /etc/modprobe.conf.
3024 Bugzilla : 6146, 9635, 9895
3025 Description: servers crash with bad pointer in target_handle_connect()
3026 Details : In rare cases when a client is reconnecting it was possible that
3027 the connection request was the last reference for that export.
3028 We would temporarily drop the export reference and get a new
3029 one, but this may have been the last reference and the export
3030 was just destroyed. Get new reference before dropping old one.

3042 Description: Stop sending data to evicted clients as soon as possible.
3043 Details : Check if the client we are about to send or are sending data to
3044 was evicted already. (Check is done every second of waiting,
3045 for which l_wait_event interface was extended to allow checking
3046 of exit condition at specified intervals).
3049 Frequency : rare, normally only when NFS exporting is done from client
3051 Description: 'bad disk LOV MAGIC: 0x00000000' error when chown'ing files
3053 Details : Make mds_get_md() recognise empty md case and set lmm size to 0.
3056 Frequency : always, if srand() is called before liblustre initialization
3058 Description: Liblustre uses system PRNG disturbing its usage by user application

3067 logs stored on the MDS and report an error if this is the case.
3068 Request --write-conf, or allow starting with --old_conf.
3070 Severity : enhancement
3072 Description: Handle symlinks in the path when checking if Lustre is mounted.
3073 Details : Resolve intermediate symlinks when checking if a client has
3074 mounted a filesystem to avoid duplicate client mounts.
3079 Description: lconf can hit an error exception but still return success.
3080 Details : The lconf command catches the Command error exception at the top
3081 level script context and will exit with the associated exit
3082 status, but doesn't ensure that this exit status is non-zero.
3087 Description: failure of ptlrpc thread startup can cause oops
3088 Details : Starting a ptlrpc service thread can fail if there are a large
3089 number of threads or the server memory is very fragmented.
3090 Handle this without oopsing.
3093 Frequency : always, only if liblustre and non-default acceptor port was used
3095 Description: liblustre cannot connect to servers with non-default acceptor port
3096 Details : tcpnal_set_default_params() was not called and was therefore
3097 ignoring the environment varaible TCPNAL_PORT, as well as other
3098 TCPNAL_ environment variables
3103 Description: two objects could be created on the same OST for a single file
3104 Details : If an OST is down, in some cases it was possible to create two
3105 objects on a single OST for a single file. No problems other
3106 than potential performance impact and spurious error messages.
3110 Bugzilla : 5681, 9562

3120 Details : link_raw functions used to call d_instantiate without obtaining
3121 extra inode reference first.
3125 Bugzilla : 9942, 9903
3126 Description: Referencing freed requests leading to crash, memleaks with NFS.
3127 Details : We used to require that call to ll_revalidate_it was always
3128 followed by ll_lookup_it. Also with revalidate_special() it is
3129 possible to call ll_revalidate_it() twice for the same dentry
3130 even if first occurence returned success. This fix changes semantic
3131 between DISP_ENQ_COMPLETE disposition flag to mean there is extra
3132 reference on a request referred from the intent.
3133 ll_intent_release() then releases such a request.
3136 Frequency : rare, normally benchmark loads only
3138 Description: unlinked inodes were kept in memory on the client
3139 Details : If a client is repeatedly creating and unlinking files it
3140 can accumulate a lot of stale inodes in the inode slab cache.
3141 If there is no other client load running this can cause the
3142 client node to run out of memory. Instead flush old inodes
3143 from client cache that have the same inode number as a new inode.

3155 Bugzilla : 4180, 6984, 7171, 9963, 9331
3156 Description: OST becomes very slow and/or deadlocked during object unlink
3157 Details : filter_destroy() was holding onto the parent directory lock
3158 while truncating+unlinking objects. For very large objects this
3159 may block other threads for a long time and slow overall OST
3160 responsiveness. It may also be possible to get a lock ordering
3161 deadlock in this case, or run out of journal credits because of
3162 the combined truncate+unlink. Solution is to do object truncate
3163 first in one transaction without parent lock, and then do the
3164 final unlink in a new transaction with the parent lock. This
3165 reduces the lock hold time dramatically.
3168 Frequency : rare, 2.4 kernels only
3170 Description: MDS or OST cleanup may trip kernel BUG when dropping kernel lock
3171 Details : mds_cleanup() and filter_cleanup() need to drop the kernel lock
3172 before unmounting their filesystem in order to avoid deadlock.
3173 The kernel_locked() function in 2.4 kernels only checks whether
3174 the kernel lock is held, not whether it is this process that is
3175 holding it as 2.6 kernels do.
3180 Description: MDS or OST may oops/LBUG if a client is connecting multiple times
3181 Details : The client ptlrpc code may be trying to reconnect to a down
3182 server before a previous connection attempt has timed out.
3183 Increase the reconnect interval to be longer than the connection
3184 timeout interval to avoid sending duplicate connections to
3188 Frequency : echo_client brw_test command
3190 Description: fix echo_client to work with OST preallocated code
3191 Details : OST preallocation code (5137) didn't take echo_client IO path
3192 into account: echo_client calls filter methods outside of any
3193 OST thread and, hence, there is no per-thread preallocated
3194 pages and buffers to use. Solution: hijack pga pages for IO. As
3195 a byproduct, this avoids unnecessary data copying.
3199 Bugzilla : 3555, 5962, 6025, 6155, 6296, 9574
3200 Description: Client can oops in mdc_commit_close() after open replay
3201 Details : It was possible for the MDS to return an open request with no
3202 transaction number in mds_finish_transno() if the client was
3203 evicted, but without actually returning an error. Clients
3204 would later try to replay that open and may trip an assertion
3205 Simplify the client close codepath, and always return an error
3206 from the MDS in case the open is not successful.
3209 Frequency : rare, 2.6 OSTs only
3211 Description: OST may deadlock under high load on fragmented files
3212 Details : If there was a heavy load and highly-fragmented OST filesystems
3213 it was possible to have all the OST threads deadlock waiting on
3214 allocation of biovecs, because the biovecs were not released
3215 until the entire RPC IO was completed. Instead, release biovecs
3216 as soon as they are complete to ensure forward IO progress.
3218 Severity : enhancement
3220 Description: Support for specifying external journal device at mount
3221 Details : If an OST or MDS device is formatted with an external journal
3222 device, this device major/minor is stored in the ext3 superblock
3223 and may not be valid for failover. Allow detecting and
3224 specifying the external journal at mount time.
3229 Description: Mounting an MDS with pending unlinked files may cause oops
3230 Details : target_finish_recovery() calls mds_postrecov() which returned
3231 the number of orphans unlinked. mds_lov_connect->mds_postsetup()
3232 considers this an error and immediately begins cleaning up the
3233 lov, just after starting the mds_lov process

3237 Description: Implement 'lfs df' to report actual free space on per-OST basis
3238 Details : Add sub-command 'df' on 'lfs' to report the disk space usage of
3239 MDS/OSDs. Usage: lfs df [-i][-h]. Command Options: '-i' to report
3240 usage of objects; '-h' to report in human readable format.

3251 Description: Mounting an ldiskfs file system with mballoc may crash OST node.
3252 Details : ldiskfs mballoc code may reference an uninitialized buddy struct
3253 at startup during orphan unlinking. Instead, skip buddy update
3254 before setup, as it will be regenerated after recovery is complete.
3259 Description: If an OST is inactive, its locks might reference stale inodes.
3260 Details : lov_change_cbdata() must iterate over all namespaces, even if
3261 they are inactive to clear inode references from the lock.
3263 Severity : enhancement
3264 Frequency : occasional, if non-standard max_dirty_mb used
3266 Description: Client will block write RPCs if not enough grant
3267 Details : If a client has max_dirty_mb smaller than max_rpcs_in_flight,
3268 then the client will block writes while waiting for another RPC
3269 to complete instead of consuming its dirty limit. With change
3270 we get improved performance when max_dirty_mb is small.

3274 Description: Add support for supplementary groups on the MDS.
3275 Details : The MDS has an upcall /proc/fs/lustre/mds/{mds}/group_upcall
3276 (set to /usr/sbin/l_getgroups if enabled) which will do MDS-side
3277 lookups for user supplementary groups into a cache.
3281 Description: O_CREAT|O_EXCL open flags in liblustre always return -EEXIST

3301 Details : By echoing "nid:$NID" string into
3302 /proc/fs/lustre/mds/.../evict_client client with nid that equals to
3303 $NID would be instantly evicted from this MDS and from all active
3304 OSTs connected to it.

3315 Details : Starting lustre service threads may pin the working directory
3316 of the parent thread, making that filesystem busy. Threads
3317 now change to the working directory of init to avoid this.

3361 Details : OSTs now preallocates memory needed to write out data at
3362 startup, instead of when needed, to avoid having to
3363 allocate memory in possibly low memory situations.
3364 Specifically, if the file system is mounted on on OST,
3365 memory pressure could force it to try to write out data,
3366 which it needed to allocate memory to do. Due to the low
3367 memory, it would be unable to do so and the node would
3368 become unresponsive.

3385 Details : Additional detailed health check information on MSD and OSTs
3386 is now provided through the procfs health_check value.
3389 Frequency : occasional, depends on IO load
3391 Description: Disk fragmentation on the OSTs could eventually cause slowdowns
3392 after numerous create/delete cycles
3393 Details : The ext3 inode allocation policy would not allocate new inodes
3394 very well on the OSTs because there are no new directories
3395 being created. Instead we look for groups with free space if
3396 the parent directories are nearly full.
3401 Description: Network or server problems during mount may cause partially
3402 mounted clients instead of returning an error.
3403 Details : The config llog parsing code may overwrite the error return
3404 code during mount error handling, returning success instead
3410 Description: MDS can fail to allocate large reply buffers
3411 Details : After long uptimes the MDS can fail to allocate large reply
3412 buffers (e.g. zconf client mount config records) due to memory
3413 fragmentation or consumption by the buffer cache. Preallocate
3414 some large reply buffers so that these replies can be sent even
3415 under memory pressure.
3419 Frequency : rare (liblustre)
3420 Description: fsx running with liblustre complained that using truncate() to
3421 extend the file doesn't work. This patch corrects that issue.
3422 Details : This is the liblustre equivalent of the fix for bug 6196. Fixes
3423 ATTR_SIZE and lsm use in llu_setattr_raw.
3427 Frequency : rare, only 2.6 kernels
3428 Description: Unusual file access patterns on the MDS may result in inode
3429 data being lost in very rare circumstances.
3430 Details : Bad interaction between the ea-in-inode patch and the "no-read"
3431 code in the 2.6 kernel caused the inode and/or EA data not to
3432 be read from disk, causing single-file corruption.
3436 Frequency : rare, only 2.6 filesystems using extents
3437 Description: Heavy concurrent write and delete load may cause data corruption.
3438 Details : It was possible under high-load situations to have an extent
3439 metadata block in the block device cache from a just-unlinked
3440 file overwrite a newly-allocated data block. We now unmap any
3441 metadata buffers that alias just-allocated data blocks.
3445 Frequency : filesystems with default stripe_count larger than 77
3446 Description: lconf+mke2fs fail when formatting filesystem with > 77 stripes
3447 Details : lconf specifies an inode size of 4096 bytes when the default
3448 stripe_count is larger than 77. This conflicts with the default
3449 inode density of 1 per 4096 bytes. Allocate smaller inodes in
3450 this case to avoid pinning too much memory for large EAs.

3484 but never opened returned no data
3485 Details : ll_file_read() reads zeros from no-object files to EOF
3490 Description: A bug in MDS/OSS recovery could cause the OSS to fail an assertion
3491 Details : There's little harm in aborting MDS/OSS recovery and letting it
3492 try again, so I removed the LASSERT and return an error instead.
3494 Severity : enhancement
3496 Description: New debugging infrastructure for tracking down data corruption
3497 Details : The I/O checksum code was replaced to: (a) control it at runtime,
3498 (b) cover more of the client-side code path, and (c) try to narrow
3499 down where problems occurred
3503 Bugzilla : 3819, 4364, 4397, 6313
3504 Description: Racing close and eviction MDS could cause assertion in mds_close
3505 Details : It was possible to get multiple mfd references during close and
3506 client eviction, leading to one thread referencing a freed mfd.
3508 Severity: : enhancement
3509 Bugzilla : 3262, 6359
3510 Description: Attempts to reconnect to servers are now more aggressive.
3511 Details : This builds on the enhanced upcall-less recovery that was added
3512 in 1.4.2. When trying to reconnect to servers, clients will
3513 now try each server in the failover group every 10 seconds. By
3514 default, clients would previously try one server every 25 seconds.
3519 Description: After recovery, certain operations trigger a failed
3520 assertion on a client.
3521 Details : Failing over an mds, using lconf -d --failover, while a
3522 client was doing a readdir() call would cause the client to
3523 LBUG after recovery completed and the readdir() was resent.
3525 Severity : enhancement
3527 Description: Default groups are now added by lconf
3528 Details : You can now run lconf --group <servicename> without having to
3529 manually add groups with lmc.
3532 Frequency : occasional
3534 Description: Nodes with an elan id of 0 trigger a failed assertion
3537 Frequency : always when accessing e.g. tty/console device nodes
3539 Description: tty and some other devices nodes cannot be used on lustre
3540 Details : file's private_data field is used by device data and lustre
3541 values in there got lost. New field was added to struct file to
3542 store fs-specific private data.
3545 Frequency : when exporting Lustre via NFS
3547 Description: NFSD failed occasionally when looking up a path component
3548 Details : NFSD is looking up ".." which was broken in ext3 directories
3549 that had grown large enough to become hashed.
3552 Frequency : Clusters with multiple interfaces not on the same subnet
3554 Description: Nodes will repeatedly try to reconnect to an interface which it
3555 cannot reach and report an error to the log.
3556 Details : Extra peer list entries will be created by lconf with some peers
3557 unreachable. lconf now validates the peer before adding it.
3560 Frequency : Only if a default stripe is set on the filesystem root.
3562 Description: Setting a default stripe on the filesystem root prevented the
3563 filesystem from being remounted.
3564 Details : The client was sending extra request flags in the root getattr
3565 request and did not allocate a reply buffer for the dir EA.
3568 Frequency : occasional, higher if lots of files are accessed by one client
3569 Bugzilla : 6159, 6097
3570 Description: Client trips assertion regarding lsm mismatch/magic
3571 Details : While revalidating inodes the VFS looks up inodes with ifind()
3572 and in rare cases can find an inode that is being freed.
3573 The ll_test_inode() code will free the lsm during ifind()
3574 when it finds an existing inode and then the VFS later attaches
3575 this free lsm to a new inode.
3579 Bugzilla : 6422, 7030
3580 Description: MDS deadlock between mkdir and client eviction
3581 Details : Creating a new file via mkdir or mknod (starting a transaction
3582 and getting the ns lock) can deadlock with client eviction
3583 (gets ns lock and trying to finish a synchronous transaction).
3586 Frequency : occasional
3587 Description: While starting a server, the fsfilt_ext3 module could not be
3589 Details : CFS's improved ext3 filesystem is named ldiskfs for 2.6
3590 kernels. Previously, lconf would still use the ext3 name
3591 when trying to load modules. Now, it will correctly use
3592 ext3 on 2.4 and ldiskfs on 2.6.
3594 Severity : enhancement
3595 Description: The default stripe count has been changed to 1
3596 Details : The interpretation of the default stripe count (0, to lfs
3597 or lmc) has been changed to mean striping across a single
3598 OST, rather than all available. For general usage we have
3599 found a stripe count of 1 or 2 works best.
3601 Severity : enhancement
3602 Description: Add support for compiling against Cray portals.
3603 Details : Conditional compiling for some areas that are different
3607 Frequency : occasional
3608 Bugzilla : 6409, 6834
3609 Description: Creating files with an explicit stripe count may lead to
3610 a failed assertion on the MDS
3611 Details : If some OSTs are full or unavailable, creating files may
3612 trigger a failed assertion on the MDS. Now, Lustre will
3613 try to use other servers or return an error to the
3617 Frequency : occasional
3619 Description: Multiple concurrent overlapping read+write on multiple SMP nodes
3620 caused lock timeout during readahead (since 1.4.2).
3621 Details : Processes doing readahead might match a lock that hasn't been
3622 granted yet if there are overlapping and conflicting lock
3623 requests. The readahead process waits on ungranted lock
3624 (original lock is CBPENDING), while OST waits for that process
3625 to cancel CBPENDING read lock and eventually evicts client.
3627 Severity : enhancement
3629 Description: Initial enabling of flock support for clients
3630 Details : Implements fcntl advisory locking and file status functions.
3631 This feature is provided as an optional mount flag (default
3632 off), and is NOT CURRENTLY SUPPORTED. Not all types of record
3633 locking are implemented yet, and those that are are not guaranteed
3634 to be completely correct in production environments.
3635 mount -t lustre -o [flock|noflock] ...
3638 Frequency : occasional
3640 Description: OSTs running 2.4 kernels but with extents enabled might trip an
3641 assertion in the ext3 JBD (journaling) layer.
3642 Details : The b_committed_data struct is protected by the big kernel lock
3643 in 2.4 kernels, serializing journal_commit_transaction() and
3644 ext3_get_block_handle->ext3_new_block->find_next_usable_block()
3645 access to this struct. In 2.6 kernels there is finer grained
3646 locking to improve SMP performance of the JBD layer.
3650 Description: Changes the "SCSI I/O Stats" kernel patch to default to "enabled"
3655 Description: merge and cleanup kernel patches.

3663 versions of Lustre. Please update all servers and clients to
3664 version 1.4.2 or later at the same time. You must also run
3665 "lconf --write-conf {config}.xml" on the MDS while it is stopped
