28 Details : change old ctl_table style and replace ctl_table/ctl_table_header
29 with cfs_sysctl_table_t/cfs_sysctl_table_header_t
33 Frequency : Only for SLES
34 Description: sanity_quota fail test_1
35 Details : There are multiple occurences of $TSTUSR in SLES's /etc/group
36 file, which makes TSTID[2] inunique.
40 Frequency : Only for SLES9

42 Details : Update target/ChangeLog/which_patch .
46 Frequency : Only for test_10 in sanity-quota.sh
47 Description: a bug in quota test code
48 Details : checking a test flag in a wrong place
52 Frequency : Only for test_13 in sanity-quota.sh
53 Description: a bug in quota test script
54 Details : shouldn't check overfull allocated quota
58 Description: jbd statistics
59 Details : Port older jbd statistics patch for sles10
61 Severity : enhancement
63 Description: Add printing inode info into message about error in writepage.
68 Description: reply_lock_interpret crash due to race with it and lock cancel.
69 Details : Do not replay locks that are being cancelled. Do not reference
70 locks by their address during replay, just by their handle.
74 Frequency : When flocks are used.
75 Description: assertion failure in ldlm_cli_enquque_fini for non NULL lock.
76 Details : Flock locks might destroy just granted lock if it could be merged
77 with another existing flock, this is done in completion handler,
78 so teach ldlm_cli_enquque_fini that this is a valid case for
84 Description: Oops in read and write path when failing to allocate lock.
85 Details : Check if lock allocation failed and return error back.
89 Description: lstripe command fails for valid OST index
90 Details : The stripe offset is compared to lov->desc.ld_tgt_count
91 instead of lov->desc.ld_active_tgt_count.
95 Description: sanity.sh failed test 103
96 Details : RHEL mis-interpret setfacl "-X" param, so we won't test setfacl
101 Description: df doesn't work properly if diskfs blocksize != 4K
102 Details : Choose biggest blocksize of OST's as the LOV's blocksize.
106 Description: lfs find on -1 stripe looping in lsm_lmm_verify_common()
107 Details : Avoid lov_verify_lmm_common() on directory with -1 stripe count.

118 * Support for kernels:
119 2.6.5-7.283 (SLES 9),
120 2.6.9-55.EL (RHEL 4),

123 * Client support for unpatched kernels:
124 (see http://wiki.lustre.org/index.php?title=Patchless_Client)
125 2.6.16 - 2.6.22 vanilla (kernel.org)
126 * Due to recently discovered recovery problems, we do not recommend
127 using patchless RHEL 4 clients with this or any earlier release.
128 * Recommended e2fsprogs version: 1.39.cfs8
129 * Note that reiserfs quotas are disabled on SLES 10 in this kernel.
130 * Starting with this release, the ldiskfs backing filesystem required
131 by Lustre is now in its own package, lustre-ldiskfs. This package
132 should be installed. It is versioned separately from Lustre and
133 may be released separately in future.
137 Description: block reactivating mgc import until all deactivates complete
138 Details : Fix race when failing back MDT/MGS to itself (testing)
140 Severity : enhancement
142 Description: add optional extra BUILD_VERSION info
143 Details : add a new environment variable (namely LUSTRE_VERS) which allows
144 to override the lustre version.
147 Frequency : 2.6.18 servers only
149 Description: ll_kern_mount() doesn't release the module reference
150 Details : The ldiskfs module reference count never drops down to 0
151 because ll_kern_mount() doesn't release the module reference.
156 Description: server LBUG when using old ost_num_threads parameter
157 Details : Accept the old ost_num_threads parameter but warn that it
158 is deprecated, and fix an off-by-one error that caused an LBUG.
163 Description: Transient SCSI error results in persistent IO issue
164 Details : iobuf->dr_error is not reinitialized to 0 between two
168 Frequency : sometimes when underlying device returns I/O errors
170 Description: OSTs not going read-only during write failures
171 Details : OSTs are not remounted read-only when the journal commit threads
172 get I/O errors because fsfilt_ext3 calls journal_start/stop()
173 instead of the ext3 wrappers.
177 Description: poor connect scaling with increasing client count
178 Details : Don't run filter_grant_sanity_check for more than 100 exports
179 to improve scaling for large numbers of clients.
182 Frequency : SLES10 only
184 Description: sanity-quota.sh quotacheck failed: rc = -22
185 Details : Quotas cannot be enabled on SLES10.
188 Frequency : liblustre clients only
190 Description: getdirentries does not give error when run on compute nodes
191 Details : getdirentries does not fail when the size specified as an argument
192 is too small to contain at least one entry
194 Severity : enhancement
196 Description: Add LNET router traceability for debug purposes
197 Details : If a checksum failure occurs with a router as part of the
198 IO path, the NID of the last router that forwarded the bulk data
199 is printed so it can be identified.
204 Description: OST "spontaneously" evicts client; client has imp_pingable == 0
205 Details : Due to a race condition, liblustre clients were occasionally
208 Severity : enhancement
210 Description: lfs setstripe use optional parameters instead of postional
213 Severity : enhancement
215 Description: Nanosecond timestamp support for ldiskfs
216 Details : The on-disk ldiskfs filesystem has added support for nanosecond
217 resolution timestamps. There is not yet support for this at
218 the Lustre filesystem level.
221 Frequency : during server recovery
223 Description: MDS failing to send precreate requests due to OSCC_FLAG_RECOVERING
224 Details : request with rq_no_resend flag not awake l_wait_event if they get a
228 Frequency : nfs export on patchless client
230 Description: connectathon hang when test nfs export over patchless client
231 Details : Disconnected dentry cannot be found with lookup, so we do not need
232 to unhash it or make it invalid
235 Description: fix llapi_lov_get_uuids() to allow many OSTs to be returned
236 Details: : Change llapi_lov_get_uuids() to read the UUIDs from /proc instead
237 of using an ioctl. This allows lfsck for > 160 OSTs to succeed.
242 Description: open req refcounting wrong on reconnect
243 Details : If reconnect happened between getting open reply from server and
244 call to mdc_set_replay_data in ll_file_open, we will schedule
245 replay for unreferenced request that we are about to free.
246 Subsequent close will crash in variety of ways.
247 Check that request is still eligible for replay in
248 mdc_set_replay_data().
253 Description: disable writes to filesystem when reading health_check file
254 Details : the default for reading the health_check proc file has changed
255 to NOT do a journal transaction and write to disk, because this
256 can cause reads of the /proc file to hang and block HA state
257 checking on a healthy but otherwise heavily loaded system. It
258 is possible to return to the previous behaviour during configure
259 with --enable-health-write.
261 Severity : enhancement
263 Description: 64-bit inode version
264 Details: : Add a on-disk 64-bit inode version for ext3 to track changes made
265 to the inode. This will be required for version-based recovery.
270 Description: MDS fails to start if a duplicate client export is detected
271 Details : in some rare cases it was possible for a client to connect to
272 an MDS multiple times. Upon recovery the MDS would detect this
273 and fail during startup. Handle this more gracefully.
275 Severity : enhancement
277 Description: Add -o localflock option to simulate old noflock
279 Details : This will achieve local-only flock/fcntl locks
285 Description: log_commit_thread vs filter_destroy race leads to crash
286 Details : Take import reference before releasing llog record semaphore
291 Description: Wrong request locking in request set processing
292 Details : ptlrpc_check_set wrongly uses req->rq_lock for proctect add to
293 imp_delayed_list, in this place should be used imp_lock.
296 Frequency : when reconnection
298 Description: Grant Leak when osc reconnect to OST
299 Details : When osc reconnect ost, OST(filter) should check whether it
300 should grant more space to client by comparing fed_grant and
301 cl_avail_grant, and return the granted space to client instead
302 of "new granted" space, because client will call osc_init_grant
303 to update the client grant space info.
306 Frequency : when client reconnect to OST
308 Description: Grant Leak when osc do resend and replay bulk write
309 Details : When osc reconnect to OST, OST(filter)should clear grant info of
310 bulk write request, because the grant info while be sync between
311 OSC and OST when reconnect, and we should ignore the grant info
312 these of resend/replay write req.
317 Description: Grant space more than avaiable left space sometimes.
318 Details : When then OST is about to be full, if two bulk writing from
319 different clients came to OST. Accord the avaliable space of the
320 OST, the first req should be permitted, and the second one
321 should be denied by ENOSPC. But if the seconde arrived before
322 the first one is commited. The OST might wrongly permit second
323 writing, which will cause grant space > avaiable space.
326 Frequency : when client is evicted
328 Description: Grant might be wrongly erased when osc is evicted by OST
329 Details : when the import is evicted by server, it will fork another
330 thread ptlrpc_invalidate_import_thread to invalidate the
331 import, where the grant will be set to 0. While the original
332 thread will update the grant it got when connecting. So if
333 the former happened latter, the grant will be wrongly errased
334 because of this race.
339 Description: Checking Stale with correct fid
340 Details : ll_revalidate_it should uses de_inode instead of op_data.fid2
341 to check whether it is stale, because sometimes, we want the
342 enqueue happened anyway, and op_data.fid2 will not be initialized.
344 Severity : enhancement
346 Description: update patchless client
347 Details : Add support for patchless client with 2.6.20, 2.6.21 and RHEL 5
350 Frequency : only with 2.4 kernel
352 Description: random memory corruption
353 Details : size of struct ll_inode_info is to big for union inode.u and this
354 can be cause of random memory corruption.
359 Description: Memory leak in recovery
360 Details : Lov_mds_md was not free in an error handler in mds_create_object.
361 It should also check obd_fail before fsfilt_start, otherwise if
362 fsfilt_start return -EROFS,(failover mds during mds recovery).
363 then the req will return with repmsg->transno = 0 and rc = EROFS.
364 and we met hit the assert LASSERT(req->rq_reqmsg->transno ==
365 req->rq_repmsg->transno) in ptlrpc_replay_interpret. Fcc should
366 be freed no matter whether fsfilt_commit success or not.
369 Frequency : only with huge count clients
371 Description: Prevents from taking the superblock lock in llap_from_page for
373 Details : using LL_ORIGIN_REMOVEPAGE origin flag instead of LL_ORIGIN_UNKNOW
374 for llap_from_page call in ll_removepage prevents from taking the
375 superblock lock for a soon died page.
380 Description: Not check open intent error before release open handle
381 Details : in some rare cases, the open intent error is not checked before
382 release open handle, which may cause
383 ASSERTION(open_req->rq_transno != 0), because it tries to release
384 the failed open handle.
389 Description: Set cat log bitmap only after create log success.
390 Details : in some rare cases, the cat log bitmap is set too early. and it
391 should be set only after create log success.
395 Description: Accessing a block bevice can re-enable I/O when Lustre is
396 tearing down a device.
397 Details : dev_clear_rdonly(bdev) must be called in kill_bdev() instead of
402 Description: service threads may hog cpus when there are a lot of requests
404 Details : Insert cond_resched to give other threads a chance to use some of
410 Description: the cat log was not initialized in recovery
411 Details : When mds(mgs) do recovery, the tgt_count might be zero, so the
412 unlink log on mds will not be initialized until mds post
413 recovery. And also in mds post recovery, the unlink log will
414 initialization will be done asynchronausly, so there will be race
415 between add unlink log and unlink log initialization.
419 Description: brw_stats were being printed incorrectly
420 Details : brw_stats were being printed as log2 but all of them were not
421 recorded as log2. Also remove some code duplication arising from
422 filter_tally_{read,write}.
426 Frequency : rare, only in recovery.
427 Description: ASSERTION(req->rq_type != LI_POISON) failed
428 Details : imp_lock should be held while iterating over imp_sending_list for
429 prevent destroy request after get timeout in ptlrpc_queue_wait.
433 Description: replay-single.sh test 52 fails
434 Details : A lock's skiplist need to be cleanup when it being unlinked
435 from its resource list.
439 Description: Short directio read returns full requested size rather than
441 Details : Direct I/O operations should return actual amount of bytes
442 transferred rather than requested size.
444 Severity : enhancement
446 Description: metadata RPC reduction (e.g. for rm performance)
447 Details : decrease the amount of synchronous RPC between clients and servers
448 by canceling conflicing lock before the operation on the client side
449 and packing thier handles into the main operation RPC to server.

458 Frequency : on some architectures
460 Description: 1.6 client sometimes fails to mount from a 1.4 MDT
461 Details : Uninitialized flags sometimes cause configuration commands to
465 Frequency : patchless clients only
467 Description: missing __iget() symbol export
468 Details : The __iget() symbol export is missing. To avoid the need for
469 this on patchless clients the deathrow inode reaper is turned
470 off, and we depend on the VM to clean up old inodes. This
471 dependency was during via the fix for bug 12181.

477 * CONFIGURATION CHANGE. This version of Lustre WILL NOT
478 INTEROPERATE with older versions automatically. In many cases a
479 special upgrade step is needed. Please read the
480 user documentation before upgrading any part of a live system.
481 * WIRE PROTOCOL CHANGE from previous 1.6 beta versions. This
482 version will not interoperate with 1.6 betas before beta5 (1.5.95).
483 * WARNING: Lustre configuration and startup changes are required with
484 this release. See https://mail.clusterfs.com/wikis/lustre/MountConf
489 Severity : enhancement
491 Description: MountConf
492 Details : Lustre configuration is now managed via mkfs and mount
493 commands instead of lmc and lconf. New obd types (MGS, MGC)
494 are added for dynamic configuration management. See
495 https://mail.clusterfs.com/wikis/lustre/MountConf for
498 Severity : enhancement
500 Description: dynamic OST addition
501 Details : OSTs can now be added to a live filesystem
503 Severity : enhancement
505 Description: startup order invariance
506 Details : MDTs and OSTs can be started in any order. Clients only
507 require the MDT to complete startup.
509 Severity : enhancement
511 Description: parallel, asynchronous orphan cleanup
512 Details : orphan cleanup is now performed in separate threads for each
513 OST, allowing parallel non-blocking operation.
515 Severity : enhancement
517 Description: optimized stripe assignment
518 Details : stripe assignments are now made based on ost space available,
519 ost previous usage, and OSS previous usage, in order to try
520 to optimize storage space and networking resources.
522 Severity : enhancement
524 Description: Permanently set tunables
525 Details : All writable /proc/fs/lustre tunables can now be permanently
526 set on a per-server basis, at mkfs time or on a live
529 Severity : enhancement
531 Description: Lustre message v2
532 Details : Add lustre message format v2.
534 Severity : enhancement
536 Description: client OST exclusion list
537 Details : Clients can be started with a list of OSTs that should be
538 declared "inactive" for known non-responsive OSTs.
542 Description: SPEC SFS validation failure on NFS v2 over lustre.
543 Details : Changes the blocksize for regular files to be 2x RPC size,
544 and not depend on stripe size.
546 Severity : enhancement
548 Description: Multiple MD RPCs in flight.
549 Details : Further unserialise some read-only MDS RPCs - learn about intents.
550 To avoid overly-overloading MDS, introduce a limit on number of
551 MDS RPCs in flight for a single client and add /proc controls
552 to adjust this limit.
554 Severity : enhancement
556 Description: client read/write statistics
557 Details : Add client read/write call usage stats for performance
558 analysis of user processes.
559 /proc/fs/lustre/llite/*/offset_stats shows non-sequential
560 file access. extents_stats shows chunk size distribution.
561 extents_stats_per_process show chunk size distribution per
564 Severity : enhancement
566 Description: mds statistics
567 Details : Add detailed mds operations statistics in
568 /proc/fs/lustre/mds/*/stats.
572 Description: Failure of copying files with lustre special EAs.
573 Details : Client side always return success for setxattr call for lustre
574 special xattr (currently only "trusted.lov").
579 Description: Refcount LNET uuids
580 Details : The global LNET uuid list grew linearly with every startup;
581 refcount repeated list entries instead of always adding to
584 Severity : enhancement
586 Description: Dynamic service threads
587 Details : Within a small range, start extra service threads
588 automatically when the request queue builds up.
591 Frequency : mixed-endian client/server environments
593 Description: mixed-endian crashes
594 Details : The new msg_v2 system had some failures in mixed-endian
597 Severity : enhancement
599 Description: Easy OST removal
600 Details : OSTs can be permanently deactivated with e.g. 'lctl
601 conf_param lustre-OST0001.osc.active=0'
603 Severity : enhancement
605 Description: MGS proc entries
606 Details : Added basic proc entries for the MGS showing what filesystems
609 Severity : enhancement
611 Description: provide MGS failover
612 Details : Added config lock reacquisition after MGS server failover.
614 Severity : enhancement
616 Description: add Linux 2.4 support
617 Details : Added support for RHEL 2.4.21 kernel for 1.6 servers and clients
621 Description: a large application tries to do I/O to the same resource and dies
623 Details : Check the req->rq_arrival time after the call to
624 ost_brw_lock_get(), but before we do anything about
625 processing it & sending the BULK transfer request. This
626 should help move old stale pending locks off the queue as
627 quickly as obd_timeout.
630 Frequency : when an incorrect nid is specified during startup
632 Description: ptlrpc connect to non-existant node causes kernel crash
633 Details : LNET can't be re-entered from an event callback, which
634 happened when we expire a message after the export has been
635 cleaned up. Instead, hand the zombie cleanup off to another

641 Details : Grouping plain/inodebits in granted list by their request modes
642 and bits policy, thus improving the performance of search through
646 Frequency : only if OST filesystem is corrupted
648 Description: client incorrectly hits assertion in ptlrpc_replay_req()
649 Details : for a short time RPCs with bulk IO are in the replay list,
650 but replay of bulk IOs is unimplemented. If the OST filesystem
651 is corrupted due to disk cache incoherency and then replay is
652 started it is possible to trip an assertion. Avoid putting
653 committed RPCs into the replay list at all to avoid this issue.
656 Frequency : liblustre (e.g. catamount) on a large cluster with >= 8 OSTs/OSS
658 Description: System hang on startup
659 Details : This bug allowed the liblustre (e.g. catamount) client to
660 return to the app before handling all startup RPCs. This
661 could leave the node unresponsive to lustre network traffic
662 and manifested as a server ptllnd timeout.
664 Severity : enhancement
666 Description: Add "/proc/sys/lustre/debug_peer_on_timeout"
667 Details : liblustre envirable: LIBLUSTRE_DEBUG_PEER_ON_TIMEOUT
668 boolean to control whether to print peer debug info when a
669 client's RPC times out.
672 Frequency : only for kernels with patches from Lustre below 1.4.3
674 Description: Remove old rdonly API
675 Details : Remove old rdonly API which unused from at least lustre 1.4.3
678 Frequency : only for devices with external journals
680 Description: Set external device read-only also
681 Details : During a commanded failover stop, we set the disk device
682 read-only while the server shuts down. We now also set any
683 external journal device read-only at the same time.
686 Frequency : when upgrading from 1.4 while trying to change parameters
688 Description: The wrong (new) MDC name was used when setting parameters for
689 upgraded MDT's. Also allows changing of OSC (and MDC)
690 parameters if --writeconf is specified at tunefs upgrade time.
693 Frequency : when setting specific ost indicies
695 Description: QOS code breaks on skipped indicies
696 Details : Add checks for missing OST indicies in the QOS code, so OSTs
697 created with --index need not be sequential.
699 Severity : enhancement
701 Description: Add uninit_groups feature to ldiskfs2 to speed up e2fsck
702 Details : The uninit_groups feature works in conjunction with the kernel
703 filesystem code (ldiskfs2 only) and e2fsprogs-1.39-cfs6 to speed
704 up the pass1 processing of e2fsck. This is a read-only feature
705 in ldiskfs2 only, so older kernels and current ldiskfs cannot
706 mount filesystems that have had this feature enabled.
708 Severity : enhancement
710 Description: Improve multi-block allocation algorithm to avoid fragmentation
711 Details : The mballoc3 code (ldiskfs2 only) adds new mechanisms to improve
712 allocation locality and avoid filesystem fragmentation.

730 Frequency : occasional, depends on client load and configuration
731 Bugzilla : 12181, 12203
732 Description: data loss for recently-modified files
734 Details : In some cases it is possible that recently written or created
735 files may not be written to disk in a timely manner (this should
736 normally be within 30s unless client IO load is very high).
737 The problem appears as zero-length files or files that are a
738 multiple of 1MB in size after a client crash or client eviction
739 that are missing data at the end of the file.
741 This problem is more likely to be hit on clients where files are
742 repeatedly created and unlinked in the same directory, clients
743 have a large amount of RAM, have many CPUs, the filesystem has
744 many OSTs, the clients are rebooted frequently, and/or the files
745 are not accessed by other nodes after being written.
747 The presence of the problem can be detected by looking at
748 /proc/sys/fs/inode-state. If the first number (nr_inodes) is
749 smaller than the second (nr_unused) then dirty files will not
750 be flushed automatically to disk. "sync; sleep 10" should be
751 run several times on the node before unmounting it to update
752 Lustre (this is also safe to run on nodes without this problem).
754 There is also a related kernel bug in the RHEL4 4 2.6.9 kernel
755 that can cause this same problem, so customers using that kernel
756 also need to update the kernel in addition to Lustre. In order
757 to properly fix this bug, the RHEL3 2.4.21 kernel is also updated.
759 It is normal that files written just before a client crash (less
760 than 30s) may not yet have been flushed to disk, even for local
764 Frequency : frequent on thin XT3 nodes
766 Description: UUID collision on thin XT3 Linux nodes
767 Details : UUIDs on Compute Node Linux XT3 nodes were not generated
768 randomly, since we relied on an insufficiently-seeded PRNG.
773 Description: OSS hangs after "All ost request buffers busy"
774 Details : A deadlock between quota and journal operations caused OSS
775 hangs after printing "All ost request buffers busy."
778 Frequency : always on liblustre builds
780 Description: Cleanup compiler warnings on liblustre
783 Frequency : always on liblustre builds on XT3
785 Description: LC_CONFIG_CDEBUG don't run while build liblustre on XT3.
789 Description: Addition of EXT3_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_DIR_NLINKS flag for
790 > 32000 subdirectories
791 Details : Add EXT3_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_DIR_NLINK flag to
792 EXT3_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_SUPP. This flag will be set whenever
793 subdirectory count crosses 32000. This will aid e2fsck to
794 correctly handle more than 32000 subdirectories.
797 Frequency : liblustre (e.g. catamount) on a large cluster with >= 8 OSTs/OSS
799 Description: System hang on startup
800 Details : This bug allowed the liblustre (e.g. catamount) client to
801 return to the app before handling all startup RPCs. This
802 could leave the node unresponsive to lustre network traffic
803 and manifested as a server ptllnd timeout.
805 Severity : enhancement
807 Description: Add "/proc/sys/lustre/debug_peer_on_timeout"
808 (liblustre envirable: LIBLUSTRE_DEBUG_PEER_ON_TIMEOUT)
809 boolean to control whether to print peer debug info when a
810 client's RPC times out.
815 Description: make O_SYNC working on 2.6 kernels
816 Details : 2.6 kernels use different method for mark pages for write,
817 so need add a code to lustre for O_SYNC work.
822 Description: Failure to close file and release space on NFS
823 Details : Put inode details into lock acquired in ll_intent_file_open.
824 Use mdc_intent_lock in ll_intent_open to properly
825 detect all kind of errors unhandled by mdc_enqueue.
830 Description: proc file read during shutdown sometimes raced obd removal,
832 Details : Add lock to prevent obd access after proc file removal.
835 Frequency : Only for files larger than 4GB on 32-bit clients.
837 Description: improperly doing page alignment of locks
838 Details : Modify lustre core code to use CFS_PAGE_* defines instead of
839 PAGE_*. Make CFS_PAGE_MASK a 64-bit mask.
844 Description: RPCs being resent when they shouldn't be
845 Details : Some RPCs that should not be resent are being resent. This
846 can cause inconsistencies in the RPC state machine. Do not
847 resend such requests.
850 Frequency : rare, only with NFS export
852 Description: Crash on NFS re-export node
853 Details : under very unusual load conditions an assertion is hit in
854 ll_intent_file_open()
857 Frequency : only if OST filesystem is corrupted
859 Description: client incorrectly hits assertion in ptlrpc_replay_req()
860 Details : for a short time RPCs with bulk IO are in the replay list,
861 but replay of bulk IOs is unimplemented. If the OST filesystem
862 is corrupted due to disk cache incoherency and then replay is
863 started it is possible to trip an assertion. Avoid putting
864 committed RPCs into the replay list at all to avoid this issue.
869 Description: large O_DIRECT requests fail under memory pressure/fragmentation
870 Details : Large single O_DIRECT read and write calls can fail to allocate
871 a sufficiently large buffer to process the request. In case of
872 allocation failure the allocation is retried with a smaller
873 buffer and broken into smaller requests.
875 Severity : enhancement
877 Description: Add -o localflock option to simulate old noflock behaviour.
878 Details : This will achieve local-only flock/fcntl locks coherentness.
883 Description: versioning check is incomplete
884 Details : Checking the version difference of client vs. server, report
885 error if the gap is too big.
890 Description: add support PG_writeback bit
891 Details : add support for PG_writeback bit for Lustre, for more carefull
892 work with page cache in 2.6 kernel. This also fix some deadlocks
893 and remove hack for work O_SYNC with 2.6 kernel.
895 Severity : enhancement
897 Description: Add uninit_groups feature to ldiskfs2 to speed up e2fsck
898 Details : The uninit_groups feature works in conjunction with the kernel
899 filesystem code (ldiskfs2 only) and e2fsprogs-1.39-cfs6 to speed
900 up the pass1 processing of e2fsck. This is a read-only feature
901 in ldiskfs2 only, so older kernels and current ldiskfs cannot
902 mount filesystems that have had this feature enabled.
904 Severity : enhancement
906 Description: Improve multi-block allocation algorithm to avoid fragmentation
907 Details : The mballoc3 code (ldiskfs2 only) adds new mechanisms to improve
908 allocation locality and avoid filesystem fragmentation.

914 * Support for kernels:
915 2.6.9-42.0.3.EL (RHEL 4)
917 2.4.21-47.0.1.EL (RHEL 3)
918 2.6.12.6 vanilla (kernel.org)
919 2.6.16.21-0.8 (SLES10)
920 * Recommended e2fsprogs version: 1.39.cfs2-0
922 * The backwards-compatible /proc/sys/portals symlink has been removed
923 in this release. Before upgrading, please ensure that you change
924 any configuration scripts or /etc/sysctl.conf files that access
925 /proc/sys/portals/* or sysctl portals.* to use the corresponding
926 entry in /proc/sys/lnet or sysctl lnet.*. This change can be made
927 in advance of the upgrade on any system running Lustre 1.4.6 or
928 newer, since /proc/sys/lnet was added in that version.
929 * Note that reiserfs quotas are disabled on SLES 10 in this kernel
933 Frequency : only when quota is used
935 Description: avoid scanning export list for quota master
936 Details : Change the algorithms to avoid scanning export list in order
937 to improve the efficiency.
940 Frequency : MDS failover only, very rarely
942 Description: "went back in time" messages on mds failover
943 Details : The greatest transno may be lost when the current operation
944 finishes with an error (transno==0) and the client's last_rcvd
945 record is over-written. Save the greatest transno in the
946 mds_last_transno for this case.
949 Frequency : always for specific kernels and striping counts
951 Description: client may get "Matching packet too big" without ACL support
952 Details : Clients compiled without CONFIG_FS_POSIX_ACL get an error message
953 when trying to access files in certain configurations. The
954 clients should in fact be denied when mounting because they do
958 Frequency : Cray XT3 with more than 4000 clients and multiple jobs
960 Description: many clients connecting with IO in progress causes connect timeouts
961 Details : Avoid synchronous journal commits to avoid delays caused by many
962 clients connecting/disconnecting when bulk IO is in progress.
963 Queue liblustre connect requests on OST_REQUEST_PORTAL instead of
964 OST_IO_PORTAL to avoid delays behind potentially many pending
968 Frequency : occasionally with multiple writers to a single file
970 Description: shared writes to file may result in wrong size reported by stat()
971 Details : Allow growing of kms when extent lock is cancelled
974 Frequency : always with random mmap IO to multi-striped file
976 Description: mmap write might be lost if we are writing to a 'hole' in stripe
977 Details : Only if the hole is at the end of OST object so that kms is too
978 small. Fix is to increase kms accordingly in ll_nopage.
981 Frequency : rare, only if OST filesystem is inconsistent with MDS filesystem
983 Description: writes to a missing object would leak memory on the OST
984 Details : If there is an inconsistency between the MDS and OST filesystems,
985 such that the MDS references an object that doesn't exist, writes
986 to that object will leak memory due to incorrect cleanup in the
987 error handling path, eventually running out of memory on the OST.
992 Description: Creating too long symlink causes lustre errors
993 Details : Check symlink and name lengths before sending requests to MDS.
996 Frequency : only if flock is enabled (not on by default)
998 Description: posix locks not released on fd closure on 2.6.9+
999 Details : We failed to add posix locks to list of inode locks on 2.6.9+
1000 kernels, this caused such locks not to be released on fd close and
1001 then assertions on fs unmount about still used locks.
1004 Frequency : MDS failover only, very rarely
1006 Description: clients may get ASSERTION(granted_lock != NULL)
1007 Details : When request was taking a long time, and a client was resending
1008 a getattr by name lock request. The were multiple lock requests
1009 with the same client lock handle and
1010 mds_getattr_name->fixup_handle_for_resent_request found one of the
1011 lock handles but later failed with ASSERTION(granted_lock != NULL).
1016 Description: handle->h_buffer_credits > 0, assertion failure
1017 Details : h_buffer_credits is zero after truncate, causing assertion
1018 failure. This patch extends the transaction or creates a new
1022 Frequency : NFS re-export or patchless client
1023 Bugzilla : 11179, 10796
1024 Description: Crash on NFS re-export node (__d_move)
1025 Details : We do not want to hash the dentry if we don't have a lock.
1026 But if this dentry is later used in d_move, we'd hit uninitialised
1027 list head d_hash, so we just do this to init d_hash field but
1028 leave dentry unhashed.
1031 Frequency : NFS re-export or patchless client
1033 Description: NFS exports has problem with symbolic link
1034 Details : lustre client didn't properly install dentry when re-exported
1035 to NFS or running patchless client.
1038 Frequency : NFS re-export or patchless client
1040 Description: Various nfs/patchless fixes.
1041 Details : fixes reuse disconected alias for lookup process - this fixes
1042 warning "find_exported_dentry: npd != pd",
1043 fix permission error with open files at nfs.
1044 fix apply umask when do revalidate.
1047 Frequency : occasional
1049 Description: Crash on NFS re-export node
1050 Details : calling clear_page() on the wrong pointer triggered oops in
1051 generic_mapping_read().
1054 Frequency : rarely, using O_DIRECT IO
1056 Description: unaligned directio crashes client with LASSERT
1057 Details : check for unaligned buffers before trying any requests.
1060 Frequency : rarely, using CFS RAID5 patches in non-standard kernel series
1062 Description: stale data returned from RAID cache
1063 Details : If only a small amount of IO is done to the RAID device before
1064 reading it again it is possible to get stale data from the RAID
1065 cache instead of reading it from disk.
1068 Frequency : always for sles10 kernel
1070 Description: sles10 support
1071 Details : ll_follow_link: compile fixes and using of nd_set_link
1072 under newer kernels.
1075 Frequency : depends on arch, kernel and compiler version, always on sles10
1078 Description: recursive or deep enough symlinks cause stack overflow
1079 Details : getting rid of large stack-allocated variable in
1083 Frequency : depends on hardware
1085 Description: lustre write performance loss in the SLES10 kernel
1086 Details : the performance loss is caused by using of write barriers in the
1087 ext3 code. The SLES10 kernel turns barrier support on by
1088 default. The fix is to undo that change for ldiskfs.

1092 2006-12-09 Cluster File Systems, Inc. <info@clusterfs.com>
1094 * Support for kernels:
1095 2.6.9-42.0.3EL (RHEL 4)
1096 2.6.5-7.276 (SLES 9)
1097 2.4.21-47.0.1.EL (RHEL 3)
1098 2.6.12.6 vanilla (kernel.org)
1102 Frequency : quota enabled and large files being deleted
1104 Description: releasing more than 4GB of quota at once hangs OST
1105 Details : If a user deletes more than 4GB of files on a single OST it
1106 will cause the OST to spin in an infinite loop. Release
1107 quota in < 4GB chunks, or use a 64-bit value for 1.4.7.1+.
1112 Description: statfs data retrieved from /proc may be stale or zero
1113 Details : When reading per-device statfs data from /proc, in the
1114 {kbytes,files}_{total,free,avail} files, it may appear
1115 as zero or be out of date.
1118 Frequency : systems with MD RAID1 external journal devices
1120 Description: lconf's call to blkid is confused by RAID1 journal devices
1121 Details : Use the "blkid -l" flag to locate the MD RAID device instead
1122 of returning all block devices that match the journal UUID.
1125 Frequency : always, for aggregate stripe size over 4GB
1127 Description: "lfs setstripe" fails assertion when setting 4GB+ stripe width
1128 Details : Using "lfs setstripe" to set stripe size * stripe count over 4GB
1129 will fail the kernel with "ASSERTION(lsm->lsm_xfersize != 0)"
1132 Frequency : always if "lfs find" used on a local file/directory
1134 Description: "lfs find" segfaults if used on a local file/directory
1135 Details : The case where a directory component was not specified wasn't
1136 handled correctly. Handle this properly.
1139 Frequency : always on ppc64
1141 Description: the write to an ext3 filesystem mounted with mballoc got stuck
1142 Details : ext3_mb_generate_buddy() uses find_next_bit() which does not
1143 perform endianness conversion.
1146 Frequency : rarely (truncate to non-zero file size after write under load)
1147 Bugzilla : 10730, 10687
1148 Description: Files padded with zeros to next 4K multiple
1149 Details : With filesystems mounted using the "extents" option (2.6 kernels)
1150 it is possible that files that are truncated to a non-zero size
1151 immediately after being written are filled with zero bytes beyond
1152 the truncated size. No file data is lost.
1154 Severity : enhancement
1156 Description: Allow recovery/failover for liblustre clients.
1157 Details : liblustre clients were unaware of failover configurations until
1160 Severity : enhancement
1162 Description: user file locks should fail when not mounting with flock option
1163 Details : Set up an error-returning stub in ll_file_operations.lock field
1164 to prevent incorrect behaviour when client is mounted without
1165 flock option. Also, set up properly f_op->flock field for
1169 Frequency : always on ia64
1171 Description: "lfs df" loops on printing out MDS statfs information
1172 Details : The obd_ioctl_data was not initialized and in some systems
1173 this caused a failure during the ioctl that did not return
1174 an error. Initialize the struct and return an error on failure.
1177 Frequency : SLES 9 only
1179 Description: Error of copying files with lustre special EAs as root
1180 Details : Client side always return success for setxattr call for lustre
1181 special xattr (currently only "trusted.lov").
1184 Frequency : rarely on clusters with both ia64+i386 clients
1186 Description: ia64+i686 clients doing shared IO on the same file may LBUG
1187 Details : In rare cases when both ia64+i686 (or other mixed-PAGE_SIZE)
1188 clients are doing concurrent writes to the same file it is
1189 possible that the ia64 clients may LASSERT because the OST
1190 extent locks are not PAGE_SIZE aligned. Ensure that grown
1191 locks are always aligned on the request boundary.
1194 Frequency : specific use, occasional
1196 Description: Overwriting in use executable truncates on-disk binary image
1197 Details : If one node attempts to overwrite an executable in use by
1198 another node, we now correctly return ETXTBSY instead of
1199 truncating the file.
1201 Severity : enhancement
1203 Description: Async OSC create to avoid the blocking unnecessarily.
1204 Details : If a OST has no remain object, system will block on the creating
1205 when need to create a new object on this OST. Now, ways use
1206 pre-created objects when available, instead of blocking on an
1207 empty osc while others are not empty. If we must block, we block
1208 for the shortest possible period of time.
1213 Description: chmod on Lustre root is propagated to other clients
1214 Details : Re-validate root's dentry in ll_lookup_it to avoid having it
1215 invalid by the follow_mount time.
1218 Frequency : liblustre clients only
1220 Description: Race in 'instant cancel' lock handling could lead to such locks
1221 never to be granted in case of SMP MDS
1222 Details : Do not destroy not yet granted but cbpending locks in
1226 Frequency : replay/resend of open
1228 Description: non null lock assetion failure in mds_intent_policy
1229 Details : Trying to replay/resend lockless open requests resulted in
1230 mds_open() returning 0 with no lock. Now it sets a flag if
1231 a lock is going to be returned.
1233 Severity : enhancement
1235 Description: Checksum enhancements
1236 Details : New checksum enhancements allow for resending RPCs that failed
1239 Severity : enhancement
1241 Description: Tunables on number of dirty pages in cacche
1242 Details : Allow to set limit on number of dirty pages cached.
1247 Description: client crash on unmount - lock still has references
1248 Details : In some error handling cases it was possible to leak a lock
1249 reference on a client while accessing a file. This was not
1250 harmful to the client during operation, but would cause the
1251 client to crash when the filesystem is unmounted.
1254 Frequency : specific case, rare
1256 Description: ETXTBSY on mds though file not in use by client
1257 Details : ETXTBSY is no longer incorrectly returned when attempting to
1258 chmod or chown a directory that the user previously tried to
1259 execute or a currently-executing binary.
1262 Frequency : extremely rare except on liblustre-based clients
1264 Description: Lustre space not freed when files are deleted
1265 Details : Clean up open-unlinked files after client eviction. Previously
1266 the unlink was skipped and the files remained as orphans.
1271 Description: OST failure "would be an LBUG" in waiting_locks_callback()
1272 Details : In some cases it was possible to send a blocking callback to
1273 a client doing a glimpse, even though that client didn't get
1274 a lock granted. When the glimpse lock is cancelled on the OST
1275 the freed lock is left on the waiting list and corrupted the list.
1278 Frequency : all core dumps
1280 Description: Broke core dumps to lustre
1281 Details : Negative dentry may be unhashed if parent does not have UPDATE
1282 lock, but some callers, e.g. do_coredump, expect dentry to be
1283 hashed after successful create, hash it in ll_create_it.

1299 Description: Number of open files grows over time
1300 Details : The number of open files grows over time, whether or not
1301 Lustre is started. This was due to a filp leak introduced
1302 by one of our kernel patches.

1312 2.6.12.6 vanilla (kernel.org)
1317 Bugzilla : 5719, 9635, 9792, 9684
1318 Description: OST (or MDS) trips assertions in (re)connection under heavy load
1319 Details : If a server is under heavy load and cannot reply to new
1320 connection requests before the client resends the (re)connect,
1321 the connection handling code can behave badly if two service
1322 threads are concurrently handing separate (re)connections from
1323 the same client. Add better locking to the connection handling
1324 code, and ensure that only a single connection will be processed
1325 for a given client UUID, even if the lock is dropped.
1327 Severity : enhancement
1329 Description: add TCP zero-copy support to kernel
1330 Details : Add support to the kernel TCP stack to allow zero-copy bulk
1331 sends if the hardware supports scatter-gather and checksumming.
1332 This allows socklnd to do client-write and server-read more
1333 efficiently and reduce CPU utilization from skbuf copying.
1336 Frequency : only if NFS exporting from client
1338 Description: NULL pointer deref in ll_iocontrol() if chattr mknod file
1339 Details : If setting attributes on a file created under NFS that had
1340 never been opened it would be possible to oops the client
1341 if the file had no objects.
1344 Frequency : always for liblustre
1346 Description: liblustre client does MDS+OSTs setattr RPC for each write
1347 Details : When doing a write from a liblustre client, the client
1348 incorrectly issued an RPC to the MDS and each OST the file was
1349 striped over in order to update the timestamps. When writing
1350 with small chunks and many clients this could overwhelm the MDS
1351 with RPCs. In all cases it would slow down the write because
1352 these RPCs are unnecessary.
1354 Severity : enhancement
1356 Description: allow number of MDS service threads to be changed at module load
1357 Details : It is now possible to change the number of MDS service threads
1358 running. Adding "options mds mds_num_threads={N}" to the MDS's
1359 /etc/modprobe.conf will set the number of threads for the next
1360 time Lustre is restarted (assuming the "mds" module is also
1361 reloaded at that time). The default number of threads will
1362 stay the same, 32 for most systems.
1367 Description: OST crash if filesystem is unformatted or corrupt
1368 Details : If an OST is started on a device that has never been formatted
1369 or if the filesystem is corrupt and cannot even mount then the
1370 error handling cleanup routines would dereference a NULL pointer.
1375 Description: NULL pointer deref in llap_from_page.
1376 Details : get_cache_page_nowait can return a page with NULL (or otherwise
1377 incorrect) mapping if the page was truncated/reclaimed while it was
1378 searched for. Check for this condition and skip such pages when
1379 doing readahead. Introduce extra check to llap_from_page() to
1380 verify page->mapping->host is non-NULL (so page is not anonymous).
1383 Frequency : Sometimes when using sys_sendfile
1385 Description: "page not covered by a lock" warnings from ll_readpage
1386 Details : sendfile called ll_readpage without right page locks present.
1387 Now we introduced ll_file_sendfile that does necessary locking
1388 around call to generic_file_sendfile() much like we do in
1392 Frequency : with certain MDS communication failures at client mount time
1394 Description: NULL pointer deref after failed client mount
1395 Details : a client connection request may delayed by the network layer
1396 and not be sent until after the PTLRPC layer has timed out the
1397 request. If the client fails the mount immediately it will try
1398 to clean up before the network times out the request. Add a
1399 reference from the request import to the obd device and delay
1400 the cleanup until the network drops the request.
1403 Frequency : occasionally during client (re)connect
1405 Description: assertion failure during client (re)connect
1406 Details : processing a client connection request may be delayed by the
1407 client or server longer than the client connect timeout. This
1408 causes the client to resend the connection request. If the
1409 original connection request is replied in this interval, the
1410 client may trip an assertion failure in ptlrpc_connect_interpret()
1411 which thought it would be the only running connect process.
1414 Frequency : only with obd_echo servers and clients that are rebooted
1416 Description: kernel BUG accessing uninitialized data structure
1417 Details : When running an obd_echo server it did not start the ping_evictor
1418 thread, and when a client was evicted an uninitialized data
1419 structure was accessed. Start the ping_evictor in the RPC
1420 service startup instead of the OBD startup.
1422 Severity : enhancement
1423 Bugzilla : 10193 (patchless)
1424 Description: Remove dependency on various unexported kernel interfaces.
1425 Details : No longer need reparent_to_init, exit_mm, exit_files,
1426 sock_getsockopt, filemap_populate, FMODE_EXEC, put_filp.
1429 Frequency : rare (only users of deprecated and unsupported LDAP config)
1431 Description: write_conf for zeroconf mount queried LDAP incorrectly for client
1432 Details : LDAP apparently contains 'lustreName' attributes instead of
1433 'name'. A simple remapping of the name is sufficient.
1436 Frequency : rare (only with non-default dump_on_timeout debug enabled)
1438 Description: waiting_locks_callback trips kernel BUG if client is evicted
1439 Details : Running with the dump_on_timeout debug flag turned on makes
1440 it possible that the waiting_locks_callback() can try to dump
1441 the Lustre kernel debug logs from an interrupt handler. Defer
1442 this log dumping to the expired_lock_main() thread.
1444 Severity : enhancement
1446 Description: Support NFS exporting on 2.6 kernels.
1447 Details : Implement non-rawops metadata methods for NFS server to use without
1448 changing NFS server code.
1451 Frequency : very rare (synthetic metadata workload only)
1453 Description: two racing renames might cause an MDS thread to deadlock
1454 Details : Running the "racer" program may cause one MDS thread to rename
1455 a file from being the source of a rename to being the target of
1456 a rename at exactly the same time that another thread is doing
1457 so, and the second thread has already enqueued these locks after
1458 doing a lookup of the target and is trying to relock them in
1459 order. Ensure that we don't try to re-lock the same resource.
1462 Frequency : only very large systems with liblustre clients
1464 Description: slow eviction of liblustre clients with the "evict_by_nid" RPC
1465 Details : Use asynchronous set_info RPCs to send the "evict_by_nid" to
1466 all OSTs in parallel. This allows the eviction of stale liblustre
1467 clients to proceed much faster than if they were done in series,
1468 and also offers similar improvements for other set_info RPCs.
1473 Description: excessive CPU usage during initial read phase on client
1474 Details : During the initial read phase on a client, it would agressively
1475 retry readahead on the file, consuming too much CPU and impacting
1476 performance (since 1.4.5.8). Improve the readahead algorithm
1477 to avoid this, and also improve some other common cases (read
1478 of small files in particular, where "small" is files smaller than
1479 /proc/fs/lustre/llite/*/max_read_ahead_whole_mb, 2MB by default).
1484 Description: MDS crash when receiving packet with unknown intent.
1485 Details : Do not LBUG in unknown intent case, just return -EFAULT
1487 Severity : enhancement
1488 Bugzilla : 9293, 9385
1489 Description: MDS RPCs are serialised on client. This is unnecessary for some.
1490 Details : Do not serialize getattr (non-intent version) and statfs.
1493 Frequency : occasional, when OST network is overloaded/intermittent
1495 Description: client evicted by OST after bulk IO timeout
1496 Details : If a client sends a bulk IO request (read or write) the OST
1497 may evict the client if it is unresposive to its data GET/PUT
1498 request. This is incorrect if the network is overloaded (takes
1499 too long to transfer the RPC data) or dropped the OST GET/PUT
1500 request. There is no need to evict the client at all, since
1501 the pinger and/or lock callbacks will handle this, and the
1502 client can restart the bulk request.
1505 Frequency : Always when mmapping file with no objects
1507 Description: client crashes when mmapping file with no objects
1508 Details : Check that we actually have objects in a file before doing any
1509 operations on objects in ll_vm_open, ll_vm_close and
1515 Description: Request leak when working with deleted CWD
1516 Details : Introduce advanced request refcount tracking for requests
1517 referenced from lustre intent.
1519 Severity : Enhancement
1521 Description: Cache open file handles on client.
1522 Details : MDS now will return special lock along with openhandle, if
1523 requested and client is allowed to hold openhandle, even if unused,
1524 until such a lock is revoked. Helps NFS a lot, since NFS is opening
1525 closing files for every read/write openration.
1527 Severity : Enhancement
1529 Description: Cache open negative dentries on client when possible.
1530 Details : Guard negative dentries with UPDATE lock on parent dir, drop
1531 negative dentries on lock revocation.
1536 Description: Remounting a client read-only wasn't possible with a zconf mount
1537 Details : It wasn't possible to remount a client read-only with llmount.
1539 Severity : enhancement
1540 Description: Include MPICH 1.2.6 Lustre ADIO interface patch
1541 Details : In lustre/contrib/ or /usr/share/lustre in RPM a patch for
1542 MPICH is included to add Lustre-specific ADIO interfaces.
1543 This is based closely on the UFS ADIO layer and only differs
1544 in file creation, in order to allow the OST striping to be set.
1545 This is user-contributed code and not supported by CFS.
1550 Description: extended inode attributes (immutable, append-only) work improperly
1551 when 2.4 and 2.6 kernels are used on client/server or vice versa
1552 Details : Introduce kernel-independent values for these flags.
1554 Severity : enhancement
1557 Description: Allow fractional MB tunings for lustre in /proc/ filesystem.
1558 Details : Many of the /proc/ tunables can only be tuned at a megabyte
1559 granularity. Now, Fractional MB granularity is be supported,
1560 this is very useful for low memory system.
1562 Severity : enhancement
1564 Description: Getattr by fid
1565 Details : Getting a file attributes by its fid, obtaining UPDATE|LOOKUP
1566 locks, avoids extra getattr rpc requests to MDS, allows '/' to
1567 have locks and avoids getattr rpc requests for it on every stat.
1570 Frequency : Always, for filesystems larger than 2TB
1572 Description: ldiskfs crash at mount for filesystem larger than 2TB with mballoc
1573 Details : Kenrel kmalloc limits allocations to 128kB and this prevents
1574 filesystems larger than 2TB to be mounted with mballoc enabled.
1577 Frequency : Always, for 32-bit kernel without CONFIG_LBD and filesystem > 2TB
1579 Description: ldiskfs crash at mount for filesystem larger than 2TB with mballoc
1580 Details : If a 32-bit kernel is compiled without CONFIG_LBD enabled and a
1581 filesystems larger than 2TB is mounted then the kernel will
1582 silently corrupt the start of the filesystem. CONFIG_LBD is
1583 enabled for all CFS-supported kernels, but the possibility of
1584 this happening with a modified kernel config exists.
1586 Severity : enhancement
1588 Description: add client O_DIRECT support for 2.6 kernels
1589 Details : It is now possible to do O_DIRECT reads and writes to files
1590 in the Lustre client mountpoint on 2.6 kernel clients.
1592 Severity : enhancement
1594 Description: parallel glimpse, setattr, statfs, punch, destroy requests
1595 Details : Sends glimpse, setattr, statfs, punch, destroy requests to OSTs in
1596 parallel, not waiting for response from every OST before sending
1597 a rpc to the next OST.
1602 Description: setattr vs write race when updating file timestamps
1603 Details : Client processes that update a file timestamp into the past
1604 right after writing to the file (e.g. tar) it is possible that
1605 the updated file modification time can be reset to the current
1606 time due to a race between processing the setattr and write RPC.
1608 Severity : enhancement
1610 Description: Bring 'lfs find' closer in line with regular Linux find.
1611 Details : lfs find util supports -atime, -mtime, -ctime, -maxdepth, -print,
1612 -print0 options and obtains all the needed info through the lustre
1615 Severity : enhancement
1617 Description: support up to 1024 configured devices on one node
1618 Details : change obd_dev array from statically allocated to dynamically
1619 allocated structs as they are first used to reduce memory usage
1624 Description: Flush dirty partially truncated pages during truncate
1625 Details : Immediatelly flush partially truncated pages in filter_setattr,
1626 this way we completely avoid having any pages in page cache on OST
1627 and can retire ugly workarounds during writes to flush such pages.
1632 Description: i_sem vs transaction deadlock in mds_obd_destroy during unlink.
1633 Details : protect inode from truncation within vfs_unlink() context
1634 just take a reference before calling vfs_unlink() and release it
1635 when parent's i_sem is free.
1640 Description: last_id value checked outside lock on OST caused LASSERT failure
1641 Details : If there were multiple MDS->OST object precreate requests in
1642 flight, it was possible that the OST's last object id was checked
1643 outside a lock and incorrectly tripped an assertion. Move checks
1644 inside locks, and discard old precreate requests.
1647 Frequency : always, if extents are used on OSTs
1649 Description: index ei_leaf_hi (48-bit extension) is not zeroed in extent index
1650 Details : OSTs using the extents format would not zero the high 16 bits of
1651 the index physical block number. This is not a problem for any
1652 OST filesystems smaller than 16TB, and no kernels support ext3
1653 filesystems larger than 16TB yet. This is fixed in 1.4.7 (all
1654 new/modified files) and can be fixed for existing filesystems
1655 with e2fsprogs-1.39-cfs1.
1660 Description: import connection selection may be incorrect if timer wraps
1661 Details : Using a 32-bit jiffies timer with HZ=1000 may cause backup
1662 import connections to be ignored if the 32-bit jiffies counter
1663 wraps. Use a 64-bit jiffies counter.
1666 Frequency : very large clusters immediately after boot
1668 Description: LNET request buffers exhausted under heavy short-term load
1669 Details : If a large number of client requests are generated on a service
1670 that has previously never seen so many requests it is possible
1671 that the request buffer growth cannot keep up with the spike in
1672 demand. Instead of dropping incoming requests, they are held in
1673 the LND until the RPC service can accept more requests.
1676 Frequency : Sometimes during replay
1678 Description: Assertion failure in ll_local_open after replay.
1679 Details : If replay happened on an open request reply before we were able
1680 to set replay handler, reply will become not swabbed tripping the
1681 assertion in ll_local_open. Now we set the handler right after
1682 recognising of open request
1685 Frequency : very rare
1687 Description: kernel reports "badness in vsnprintf"
1688 Details : Reading from the "recovery_status" /proc file in small chunks
1689 may cause a negative length in lprocfs_obd_rd_recovery_status()
1690 call to vsnprintf() (which is otherwise harmless). Exit early
1691 if there is no more space in the output buffer.
1693 Severity : enhancement
1695 Description: clear OBD RPC statistics by writing to them
1696 Details : It is now possible to clear the OBD RPC statistics by writing
1697 to the "stats" file.
1702 Description: Client mtime is not the same on different clients after utimes
1703 Details : In some cases, the client was using the utimes() syscall on
1704 a file cached on another node. The clients now validate the
1705 ctime from the MDS + OSTs to determine which one is right.
1710 Description: Inability to activate failout mode
1711 Details : lconf script incorrectly assumed that in pythong string's numeric
1712 value is used in comparisons.
1715 Frequency : always with multiple stripes per file
1717 Description: Inefficient object allocation for mutli-stripe files
1718 Details : When selecting which OSTs to stripe files over, for files with
1719 a stripe count that divides evenly into the number of OSTs,
1720 the MDS is always picking the same starting OST for each file.
1721 Return the OST selection heuristic to the original design.
1726 Description: mount failures may take full timeout to return an error
1727 Details : Under some heavy load conditions it is possible that a
1728 failed mount can wait for the full obd_timeout interval,
1729 possibly several minutes, before reporting an error.
1730 Instead return an error as soon as the status is known.
1732 Frequency : quota enabled and large files being deleted
1734 Description: releasing more than 4GB of quota at once hangs OST
1735 Details : If a user deletes more than 4GB of files on a single OST it
1736 will cause the OST to spin in an infinite loop. Release
1737 quota in < 4GB chunks, or use a 64-bit value for 1.4.7.1+.
1742 Description: statfs data retrieved from /proc may be stale or zero
1743 Details : When reading per-device statfs data from /proc, in the
1744 {kbytes,files}_{total,free,avail} files, it may appear
1745 as zero or be out of date.
1748 Frequency : systems with MD RAID1 external journal devices
1750 Description: lconf's call to blkid is confused by RAID1 journal devices
1751 Details : Use the "blkid -l" flag to locate the MD RAID device instead
1752 of returning all block devices that match the journal UUID.
1755 Frequency : always, for aggregate stripe size over 4GB
1757 Description: assertion fails when trying to use 4GB stripe size
1758 Details : Use "setstripe" to set stripe size over 4GB will fail the kernel,
1759 complaining "ASSERTION(lsm->lsm_xfersize != 0)"
1762 Frequency : always on ppc64
1764 Description: the first write on an ext3 filesystem with mballoc got stuck
1765 Details : ext3_mb_generate_buddy() uses find_next_bit() which does not
1766 perform endianness conversion.

1770 02-14-2006 Cluster File Systems, Inc. <info@clusterfs.com>
1772 * WIRE PROTOCOL CHANGE. This version of Lustre networking WILL NOT
1773 INTEROPERATE with older versions automatically. Please read the
1774 user documentation before upgrading any part of a live system.
1775 * WARNING: Lustre networking configuration changes are required with
1776 this release. See https://bugzilla.clusterfs.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10052
1779 * Support for kernels:
1780 2.6.9-22.0.2.EL (RHEL 4)
1781 2.6.5-7.244 (SLES 9)
1782 2.6.12.6 vanilla (kernel.org)
1785 Severity : enhancement
1786 Bugzilla : 7981/8208
1787 Description: Introduced Lustre Networking (LNET)
1788 Details : LNET is new networking infrastructure for Lustre, it includes
1789 a reorganized network configuration mode (see the user
1790 documentation for full details) as well as support for routing
1791 between different network fabrics. Lustre Networking Devices
1792 (LNDs) for the supported network fabrics have also been
1793 created for this new infrastructure.
1795 Severity : enhancement
1796 Description: Introduced Access control lists
1797 Details : clients can set ACLs on files and directories in order to have
1798 more fine-grained permissions than the standard Unix UGO+RWX.
1799 The MDS must be started with the "-o acl" mount option.
1801 Severity : enhancement
1802 Description: Introduced filesystem quotas
1803 Details : Administrators may now establish per-user quotas on the
1806 Severity : enhancement
1808 Description: Configuration change for the XT3
1809 The PTLLND is now used to run Lustre over Portals on the XT3
1810 The configure option(s) --with-cray-portals are no longer used.
1811 Rather --with-portals=<path-to-portals-includes> is used to
1812 enable building on the XT3. In addition to enable XT3 specific
1813 features the option --enable-cray-xt3 must be used.
1818 Description: Running on many-way SMP OSTs can trigger oops in llcd_send()
1819 Details : A race between allocating a new llcd and re-getting the llcd_lock
1820 allowed another thread to grab newly-allocated llcd.
1822 Severity : enhancement
1824 Description: 2.6 OST async journal commit and locking fix to improve performance
1825 Details : The filter_direct_io()+filter_commitrw_write() journal commits for
1826 2.6 kernels are now async as they already were in 2.4 kernels so
1827 that they can commit concurrently with the network bulk transfer.
1828 For block-allocated files the filter allocation semaphore is held
1829 to avoid filesystem fragmentation during allocation. BKL lock
1830 removed for 2.6 xattr operations where it is no longer needed.
1835 Description: lconf incorrectly determined whether two IP networks could talk
1836 Details : In some more complicated routing and multiple-network
1837 configurations, lconf will avoid trying to make a network
1838 connection to a disjoint part of the IP space. It was doing the
1839 math incorrectly for one set of cases.
1844 Description: Fix for potential infinite loop processing records in an llog.
1845 Details : If an llog record is corrupted/zeroed, it is possible to loop
1846 forever in llog_process(). Validate the llog record length
1847 and skip the remainder of the block on error.
1850 Frequency : occasional (liblustre only)
1852 Description: liblustre could not open files whose last component is a symlink
1853 Details : sysio_path_walk() would incorrectly pass the open intent to
1854 intermediate path components.
1857 Frequency : rare (liblustre only with non-standard tuning)
1858 Bugzilla : 7201 (7350)
1859 Description: Tuning the MDC DLM LRU size to zero triggers client LASSERT
1860 Details : llu_lookup_finish_locks() tries to set lock data on a lock
1861 after it has been released, only do this for referenced locks
1863 Severity : enhancement
1865 Description: specifying an (invalid) directory default stripe_size of -1
1866 would reset the directory default striping
1867 Details : stripe_size -1 was used internally to signal directory stripe
1868 removal, now use "all default" to signal dir stripe removal
1869 as a directory striping of "all default" is not useful
1872 Frequency : common for large clusters running liblustre clients
1874 Description: doing an ls when liblustre clients are running is slow
1875 Details : sending a glimpse AST to a liblustre client waits for every AST
1876 to time out, as liblustre clients will not respond. Since they
1877 cannot cache data we refresh the OST lock LVB from disk instead.
1879 Severity : enhancement
1881 Description: doing an ls at the same time as file IO can be slow
1882 Details : enqueue and other "small" requests can be blocked behind many
1883 large IO requests. Create a new OST IO portal for non-IO
1884 requests so they can be processed faster.
1887 Frequency : rare (only HPUX clients mounting unsupported re-exported NFS vol)
1889 Description: an HPUX NFS client would get -EACCESS when ftruncate()ing a newly
1890 created file with mode 000
1891 Details : the Linux NFS server relies on an MDS_OPEN_OWNEROVERRIDE hack to
1892 allow an ftruncate() as a non-root user to a file with mode 000.
1893 Lustre now respects this flag to disable mode checks when
1894 truncating a file owned by the user
1897 Frequency : liblustre-only, when liblustre client dies unexpectedly or becomes
1900 Description: Revoking locks from clients that went dead or catatonic might take
1902 Details : New lock flags FL_CANCEL_ON_BLOCK used by liblustre makes
1903 cancellation of such locks instant on servers without waiting for
1904 any reply from clients. Clients drops these locks when cancel
1905 notification from server is received without replying.
1908 Frequency : liblustre-only, when liblustre client dies or becomes busy
1910 Description: Doing ls on Linux clients can take a long time with active
1912 Details : Liblustre client cannot handle ASTs in timely manner, so avoid
1913 granting such locks to it in the first place if possible. Locks
1914 are taken by proxy on the OST during the read or write and
1915 dropped immediately afterward. Add connect flags handling, do
1916 not grant locks to liblustre clients for glimpse ASTs.
1918 Severity : enhancement
1920 Description: Improve read-ahead algorithm to avoid excessive IO for random reads
1921 Details : Existing read-ahead algorithm is tuned for the case of streamlined
1922 sequential reads and behaves badly with applications doing random
1923 reads. Improve it by reading ahead at least read region, and
1924 avoiding excessive large RPC for small reads.
1926 Severity : enhancement
1928 Description: Creating more than 1000 files for a single job may cause a load
1929 imbalance on the OSTs if there are also a large number of OSTs.
1930 Details : qos_prep_create() uses an OST index reseed value that is an
1931 even multiple of the number of available OSTs so that if the
1932 reseed happens in the middle of the object allocation it will
1933 still utilize the OSTs as uniformly as possible.
1938 Description: OST or MDS may oops in ping_evictor_main()
1939 Details : ping_evictor_main() drops obd_dev_lock if deleting a stale export
1940 but doesn't restart at beginning of obd_exports_timed list
1943 Severity : enhancement
1945 Description: improve by-nid export eviction on the MDS and OST
1946 Details : allow multiple exports with the same NID to be evicted at one
1947 time without re-searching the exports list.
1950 Frequency : rare, only with supplementary groups enabled on SMP 2.6 kernels
1952 Description: MDS may oops in groups_free()
1953 Details : in rare race conditions a newly allocated group_info struct is
1954 freed again, and this can be NULL. The 2.4 compatibility code
1955 for groups_free() checked for a NULL pointer, but 2.6 did not.
1958 Frequency : common for liblustre clients doing little filesystem IO
1959 Bugzilla : 9352, 7313
1960 Description: server may evict liblustre clients accessing contended locks
1961 Details : if a client is granted a lock or receives a completion AST
1962 with a blocking AST already set it would not reply to the AST
1963 for LDLM_FL_CANCEL_ON_BLOCK locks. It now replies to such ASTs.
1966 Frequency : lfs setstripe, only systems with more than 160 OSTs
1968 Description: unable to set striping with a starting offset beyond OST 160
1969 Details : llapi_create_file() incorrectly limited the starting stripe
1970 index to the maximum single-file stripe count.
1973 Frequency : LDAP users only
1975 Description: lconf did not handle in-kernel recovery with LDAP properly
1976 Details : lconf/LustreDB get_refs() is searching the wrong namespace
1978 Severity : enhancement
1980 Description: bind OST threads to NUMA nodes to improve performance
1981 Details : all OST threads are uniformly bound to CPUs on a single NUMA
1982 node and do their allocations there to localize memory access
1984 Severity : enhancement
1986 Description: llmount can determine client NID directly from Myrinet (GM)
1987 Details : the client NID code from gmnalnid was moved directly into
1988 llmount, removing the need to use this or specifying the
1989 client NID explicitly when mounting GM clients with zeroconf
1992 Frequency : if client is started with down MDS
1994 Description: if client is started with down MDS mount hangs in ptlrpc_queue_wait
1995 Details : Having an LWI_INTR() wait event (interruptible, but no timeout)
1996 will wait indefinitely in ptlrpc_queue_wait->l_wait_event() after
1997 ptlrpc_import_delayed_req() because we didn't check if the
1998 request was interrupted, and we also didn't break out of the
1999 event loop if there was no timeout
2004 Description: data loss during non-page-aligned writes to a single file from
2005 both multiple nodes and multiple threads on one node at same time
2006 Details : updates to KMS and lsm weren't protected by common lock. Resulting
2007 inconsistency led to false short-reads, that were cached and later
2008 used by ->prepare_write() to fill in partially written page,
2009 leading to data loss.
2012 Frequency : always, if lconf --abort_recovery used
2014 Description: lconf --abort_recovery fails with 'Operation not supported'
2015 Details : lconf was attempting to abort recovery on the MDT device and not
2018 Severity : enhancement
2020 Description: remove cleanup logs
2021 Details : replace lconf-generated cleanup logs with lustre internal
2022 cleanup routines. Eliminates the need for client-cleanup and
2025 Severity : enhancement
2027 Description: add support for EAs (user and system) on lustre filesystems
2028 Details : it is now possible to store extended attributes in the Lustre
2029 client filesystem, and with the user_xattr mount option it
2030 is possible to allow users to store EAs on their files also
2032 Severity : enhancement
2034 Description: Add possibility (config option) to show minimal available OST free
2036 Details : When compiled with --enable-mindf configure option, statfs(2)
2037 (and so, df) will return least minimal free space available from
2038 all OSTs as amount of free space on FS, instead of summary of
2039 free spaces of all OSTs.
2041 Severity : enhancement
2043 Description: do not expand extent locks acquired on OST-side
2044 Details : Modify ldlm_extent_policy() to not expand local locks, acquired
2045 by server: they are not cached anyway.
2048 Frequency : when mmap is used/binaries executed from Lustre
2050 Description: Unmmap pages before throwing them away from read cache.
2051 Details : llap_shrink cache now attempts to unmap pages before discarding
2052 them (if unmapping failed - do not discard). SLES9 kernel has
2053 extra checks that trigger if this unmapping is not done first.
2058 Description: lconf didn't resolve symlinks before checking to see whether a
2059 given mountpoint was already in use
2062 Frequency : when migrating failover services
2063 Bugzilla : 6395, 9514
2064 Description: When migrating a subset of services from a node (e.g. failback
2065 from a failover service node) the remaining services would
2066 time out and evict clients.
2067 Details : lconf --force (implied by --failover) sets the global obd_timeout
2068 to 5 seconds in order to quickly disconnect, but this caused
2069 other RPCs to time out too quickly. Do not change the global
2070 obd_timeout for force cleanup, only set it for DISCONNECT RPCs.
2072 Severity : enhancement
2073 Frequency : if MDS is started with down OST
2074 Bugzilla : 9439,5706
2075 Description: Allow startup/shutdown of an MDS without depending on the
2076 availability of the OSTs.
2077 Details : Asynchronously call mds_lov_synchronize during MDS startup.
2078 Add appropriate locking and lov-osc refcounts for safe
2079 cleaning. Add osc abort_inflight calls in case the
2080 synchronize never started.
2083 Frequency : occasional (Cray XT3 only)
2085 Description: root not authorized to access files in CRAY_PORTALS environment
2086 Details : The client process capabilities were not honoured on the MDS in
2087 a CRAY_PORTALS/CRAY_XT3 environment. If the file had previously
2088 been accessed by an authorized user then root was able to access
2089 the file on the local client also. The root user capabilities
2090 are now allowed on the MDS, as this environment has secure UID.
2093 Frequency : occasional
2095 Description: ldiskfs "too long searching" message happens too often
2096 Details : A debugging message (otherwise harmless) prints too often on
2097 the OST console. This has been reduced to only happen when
2098 there are fragmentation problems on the filesystem.
2103 Description: Division by zero in statfs when all OSCs are inactive
2104 Details : lov_get_stripecnt() returns zero due to incorrect order of checks,
2105 lov_statfs divides by value returned by lov_get_stripecnt().
2109 Bugzilla : 9489, 3273
2110 Description: First write from each client to each OST was only 4kB in size,
2111 to initialize client writeback cache, which caused sub-optimal
2112 RPCs and poor layout on disk for the first writen file.
2113 Details : Clients now request an initial cache grant at (re)connect time
2114 and so that they can start streaming writes to the cache right
2115 away and always do full-sized RPCs if there is enough data.
2116 If the OST is rebooted the client also re-establishes its grant
2117 so that client cached writes will be honoured under the grant.
2122 Description: Slow ls (and stat(2) syscall) on files residing on IO-loaded OSTs
2123 Details : Now I/O RPCs go to different portal number and (presumably) fast
2124 lock requests (and glimses) and other RPCs get their own service
2125 threads pool that should be able to service those RPCs

2130 Description: Ability to exchange lustre version between client and servers and
2131 issue warnings at client side if client is too old. Also for
2132 liblustre clients there is ability to refuse connection of too old
2134 Details : New 'version' field is added to connect data structure that is
2135 filled with version info. That info is later checked by server and
2139 Frequency : rare, liblustre only.

2141 Description: Two simultaneous writes from liblustre at offset within same page
2142 might proceed at the same time overwriting eachother with stale
2144 Details : I/O lock withing llu_file_prwv was released too early, before data
2145 actually was hitting the wire. Extended lock-holding time until
2146 server acknowledges receiving data.
2149 Frequency : extremely rare. Never observed in practice.
2151 Description: avoid generating lustre_handle cookie of 0.
2152 Details : class_handle_hash() generates handle cookies by incrementing
2153 global counter, and can hit 0 occasionaly (this is unlikely, but
2154 not impossible, because initial value of cookie counter is
2155 selected randonly). Value of 0 is used as a sentinel meaning
2156 "unassigned handle" --- avoid it. Also coalesce two critical
2157 sections in this function into one.
2159 Severity : enhancement
2161 Description: allow liblustre clients to delegate truncate locking to OST
2162 Details : To avoid overhead of locking, liblustre client instructs OST to
2163 take extent lock in ost_punch() on client's behalf. New connection
2164 flag is added to handle backward compatibility.
2166 Severity : enhancement
2167 Bugzilla : 4928, 7341, 9758
2168 Description: allow number of OST service threads to be specified
2169 Details : a module parameter allows the number of OST service threads
2170 to be specified via "options ost ost_num_threads={N}" in the
2171 OSS's /etc/modules.conf or /etc/modprobe.conf.
2175 Bugzilla : 6146, 9635, 9895
2176 Description: servers crash with bad pointer in target_handle_connect()
2177 Details : In rare cases when a client is reconnecting it was possible that
2178 the connection request was the last reference for that export.
2179 We would temporarily drop the export reference and get a new
2180 one, but this may have been the last reference and the export
2181 was just destroyed. Get new reference before dropping old one.

2193 Description: Stop sending data to evicted clients as soon as possible.
2194 Details : Check if the client we are about to send or are sending data to
2195 was evicted already. (Check is done every second of waiting,
2196 for which l_wait_event interface was extended to allow checking
2197 of exit condition at specified intervals).
2200 Frequency : rare, normally only when NFS exporting is done from client
2202 Description: 'bad disk LOV MAGIC: 0x00000000' error when chown'ing files
2204 Details : Make mds_get_md() recognise empty md case and set lmm size to 0.
2207 Frequency : always, if srand() is called before liblustre initialization
2209 Description: Liblustre uses system PRNG disturbing its usage by user application
2210 Details : Introduce internal to lustre fast and high-quality PRNG for
2211 lustre usage and make liblustre and some other places in generic
2212 lustre code to use it.

2218 logs stored on the MDS and report an error if this is the case.
2219 Request --write-conf, or allow starting with --old_conf.
2221 Severity : enhancement
2223 Description: Handle symlinks in the path when checking if Lustre is mounted.
2224 Details : Resolve intermediate symlinks when checking if a client has
2225 mounted a filesystem to avoid duplicate client mounts.
2230 Description: lconf can hit an error exception but still return success.
2231 Details : The lconf command catches the Command error exception at the top
2232 level script context and will exit with the associated exit
2233 status, but doesn't ensure that this exit status is non-zero.
2238 Description: failure of ptlrpc thread startup can cause oops
2239 Details : Starting a ptlrpc service thread can fail if there are a large
2240 number of threads or the server memory is very fragmented.
2241 Handle this without oopsing.
2244 Frequency : always, only if liblustre and non-default acceptor port was used
2246 Description: liblustre cannot connect to servers with non-default acceptor port
2247 Details : tcpnal_set_default_params() was not called and was therefore
2248 ignoring the environment varaible TCPNAL_PORT, as well as other
2249 TCPNAL_ environment variables
2254 Description: two objects could be created on the same OST for a single file
2255 Details : If an OST is down, in some cases it was possible to create two
2256 objects on a single OST for a single file. No problems other
2257 than potential performance impact and spurious error messages.

2272 extra inode reference first.
2276 Bugzilla : 9942, 9903
2277 Description: Referencing freed requests leading to crash, memleaks with NFS.
2278 Details : We used to require that call to ll_revalidate_it was always
2279 followed by ll_lookup_it. Also with revalidate_special() it is
2280 possible to call ll_revalidate_it() twice for the same dentry
2281 even if first occurence returned success. This fix changes semantic
2282 between DISP_ENQ_COMPLETE disposition flag to mean there is extra
2283 reference on a request referred from the intent.
2284 ll_intent_release() then releases such a request.
2287 Frequency : rare, normally benchmark loads only
2289 Description: unlinked inodes were kept in memory on the client
2290 Details : If a client is repeatedly creating and unlinking files it
2291 can accumulate a lot of stale inodes in the inode slab cache.
2292 If there is no other client load running this can cause the
2293 client node to run out of memory. Instead flush old inodes
2294 from client cache that have the same inode number as a new inode.

2306 Bugzilla : 4180, 6984, 7171, 9963, 9331
2307 Description: OST becomes very slow and/or deadlocked during object unlink
2308 Details : filter_destroy() was holding onto the parent directory lock
2309 while truncating+unlinking objects. For very large objects this
2310 may block other threads for a long time and slow overall OST
2311 responsiveness. It may also be possible to get a lock ordering
2312 deadlock in this case, or run out of journal credits because of
2313 the combined truncate+unlink. Solution is to do object truncate
2314 first in one transaction without parent lock, and then do the
2315 final unlink in a new transaction with the parent lock. This
2316 reduces the lock hold time dramatically.
2319 Frequency : rare, 2.4 kernels only
2321 Description: MDS or OST cleanup may trip kernel BUG when dropping kernel lock
2322 Details : mds_cleanup() and filter_cleanup() need to drop the kernel lock
2323 before unmounting their filesystem in order to avoid deadlock.
2324 The kernel_locked() function in 2.4 kernels only checks whether
2325 the kernel lock is held, not whether it is this process that is
2326 holding it as 2.6 kernels do.
2331 Description: MDS or OST may oops/LBUG if a client is connecting multiple times
2332 Details : The client ptlrpc code may be trying to reconnect to a down
2333 server before a previous connection attempt has timed out.
2334 Increase the reconnect interval to be longer than the connection
2335 timeout interval to avoid sending duplicate connections to
2339 Frequency : echo_client brw_test command
2341 Description: fix echo_client to work with OST preallocated code
2342 Details : OST preallocation code (5137) didn't take echo_client IO path
2343 into account: echo_client calls filter methods outside of any
2344 OST thread and, hence, there is no per-thread preallocated
2345 pages and buffers to use. Solution: hijack pga pages for IO. As
2346 a byproduct, this avoids unnecessary data copying.
2350 Bugzilla : 3555, 5962, 6025, 6155, 6296, 9574
2351 Description: Client can oops in mdc_commit_close() after open replay
2352 Details : It was possible for the MDS to return an open request with no
2353 transaction number in mds_finish_transno() if the client was
2354 evicted, but without actually returning an error. Clients
2355 would later try to replay that open and may trip an assertion
2356 Simplify the client close codepath, and always return an error
2357 from the MDS in case the open is not successful.
2360 Frequency : rare, 2.6 OSTs only
2362 Description: OST may deadlock under high load on fragmented files
2363 Details : If there was a heavy load and highly-fragmented OST filesystems
2364 it was possible to have all the OST threads deadlock waiting on
2365 allocation of biovecs, because the biovecs were not released
2366 until the entire RPC IO was completed. Instead, release biovecs
2367 as soon as they are complete to ensure forward IO progress.
2369 Severity : enhancement
2371 Description: Support for specifying external journal device at mount
2372 Details : If an OST or MDS device is formatted with an external journal
2373 device, this device major/minor is stored in the ext3 superblock
2374 and may not be valid for failover. Allow detecting and
2375 specifying the external journal at mount time.
2380 Description: Mounting an MDS with pending unlinked files may cause oops
2381 Details : target_finish_recovery() calls mds_postrecov() which returned
2382 the number of orphans unlinked. mds_lov_connect->mds_postsetup()
2383 considers this an error and immediately begins cleaning up the
2384 lov, just after starting the mds_lov process

2389 Details : Add sub-command 'df' on 'lfs' to report the disk space usage of
2390 MDS/OSDs. Usage: lfs df [-i][-h]. Command Options: '-i' to report
2391 usage of objects; '-h' to report in human readable format.

2402 Description: Mounting an ldiskfs file system with mballoc may crash OST node.
2403 Details : ldiskfs mballoc code may reference an uninitialized buddy struct
2404 at startup during orphan unlinking. Instead, skip buddy update
2405 before setup, as it will be regenerated after recovery is complete.
2410 Description: If an OST is inactive, its locks might reference stale inodes.
2411 Details : lov_change_cbdata() must iterate over all namespaces, even if
2412 they are inactive to clear inode references from the lock.
2414 Severity : enhancement
2415 Frequency : occasional, if non-standard max_dirty_mb used
2417 Description: Client will block write RPCs if not enough grant
2418 Details : If a client has max_dirty_mb smaller than max_rpcs_in_flight,
2419 then the client will block writes while waiting for another RPC
2420 to complete instead of consuming its dirty limit. With change
2421 we get improved performance when max_dirty_mb is small.

2424 Bugzilla : 3389, 6253
2425 Description: Add support for supplementary groups on the MDS.
2426 Details : The MDS has an upcall /proc/fs/lustre/mds/{mds}/group_upcall
2427 (set to /usr/sbin/l_getgroups if enabled) which will do MDS-side
2428 lookups for user supplementary groups into a cache.
2432 Description: O_CREAT|O_EXCL open flags in liblustre always return -EEXIST
2433 Details : Make libsysio to not enforce O_EXCL by clearing the flag,
2434 for liblustre O_EXCL is enforced by MDS.

2440 dentry in struct dirent.
2444 Frequency : liblustre only, depends on application IO pattern

2447 they will not be evicted by the pinger ever.

2452 Details : By echoing "nid:$NID" string into
2453 /proc/fs/lustre/mds/.../evict_client client with nid that equals to
2454 $NID would be instantly evicted from this MDS and from all active
2455 OSTs connected to it.

2466 Details : Starting lustre service threads may pin the working directory
2467 of the parent thread, making that filesystem busy. Threads
2468 now change to the working directory of init to avoid this.

2512 Details : OSTs now preallocates memory needed to write out data at
2513 startup, instead of when needed, to avoid having to
2514 allocate memory in possibly low memory situations.
2515 Specifically, if the file system is mounted on on OST,
2516 memory pressure could force it to try to write out data,
2517 which it needed to allocate memory to do. Due to the low
2518 memory, it would be unable to do so and the node would
2519 become unresponsive.
2521 Severity : enhancement

2525 shorthand for 'lconf --group <arg> --select <arg>=<hostname>'
2527 Severity : enhancement
2529 Description: Failover mode is now the default for OSTs.

2531 the old behaviour, add '--failout' to the lmc line for OSTs.
2533 Severity : enhancement

2536 Details : Additional detailed health check information on MSD and OSTs
2537 is now provided through the procfs health_check value.
2540 Frequency : occasional, depends on IO load
2542 Description: Disk fragmentation on the OSTs could eventually cause slowdowns
2543 after numerous create/delete cycles
2544 Details : The ext3 inode allocation policy would not allocate new inodes
2545 very well on the OSTs because there are no new directories
2546 being created. Instead we look for groups with free space if
2547 the parent directories are nearly full.
2552 Description: Network or server problems during mount may cause partially
2553 mounted clients instead of returning an error.
2554 Details : The config llog parsing code may overwrite the error return
2555 code during mount error handling, returning success instead
2561 Description: MDS can fail to allocate large reply buffers
2562 Details : After long uptimes the MDS can fail to allocate large reply
2563 buffers (e.g. zconf client mount config records) due to memory
2564 fragmentation or consumption by the buffer cache. Preallocate
2565 some large reply buffers so that these replies can be sent even
2566 under memory pressure.
2570 Frequency : rare (liblustre)
2571 Description: fsx running with liblustre complained that using truncate() to
2572 extend the file doesn't work. This patch corrects that issue.
2573 Details : This is the liblustre equivalent of the fix for bug 6196. Fixes
2574 ATTR_SIZE and lsm use in llu_setattr_raw.
2578 Frequency : rare, only 2.6 kernels
2579 Description: Unusual file access patterns on the MDS may result in inode
2580 data being lost in very rare circumstances.
2581 Details : Bad interaction between the ea-in-inode patch and the "no-read"
2582 code in the 2.6 kernel caused the inode and/or EA data not to
2583 be read from disk, causing single-file corruption.
2587 Frequency : rare, only 2.6 filesystems using extents
2588 Description: Heavy concurrent write and delete load may cause data corruption.
2589 Details : It was possible under high-load situations to have an extent
2590 metadata block in the block device cache from a just-unlinked
2591 file overwrite a newly-allocated data block. We now unmap any
2592 metadata buffers that alias just-allocated data blocks.
2596 Frequency : filesystems with default stripe_count larger than 77
2597 Description: lconf+mke2fs fail when formatting filesystem with > 77 stripes
2598 Details : lconf specifies an inode size of 4096 bytes when the default
2599 stripe_count is larger than 77. This conflicts with the default
2600 inode density of 1 per 4096 bytes. Allocate smaller inodes in
2601 this case to avoid pinning too much memory for large EAs.

2613 Details : lock ordering changes for bug 5492 reintroduced bug 3267 and
2614 caused clients to be evicted for AST timeouts. The fixes in
2615 bug 5192 mean we no longer need to have such short AST timeouts

2660 Bugzilla : 3262, 6359
2661 Description: Attempts to reconnect to servers are now more aggressive.
2662 Details : This builds on the enhanced upcall-less recovery that was added
2663 in 1.4.2. When trying to reconnect to servers, clients will
2664 now try each server in the failover group every 10 seconds. By
2665 default, clients would previously try one server every 25 seconds.
2670 Description: After recovery, certain operations trigger a failed
2671 assertion on a client.
2672 Details : Failing over an mds, using lconf -d --failover, while a
2673 client was doing a readdir() call would cause the client to
2674 LBUG after recovery completed and the readdir() was resent.

2699 Details : NFSD is looking up ".." which was broken in ext3 directories
2700 that had grown large enough to become hashed.
2703 Frequency : Clusters with multiple interfaces not on the same subnet

2708 unreachable. lconf now validates the peer before adding it.
2711 Frequency : Only if a default stripe is set on the filesystem root.

2722 Details : While revalidating inodes the VFS looks up inodes with ifind()
2723 and in rare cases can find an inode that is being freed.
2724 The ll_test_inode() code will free the lsm during ifind()
2725 when it finds an existing inode and then the VFS later attaches
2726 this free lsm to a new inode.

2742 when trying to load modules. Now, it will correctly use
2743 ext3 on 2.4 and ldiskfs on 2.6.
2745 Severity : enhancement
2746 Description: The default stripe count has been changed to 1
2747 Details : The interpretation of the default stripe count (0, to lfs
2748 or lmc) has been changed to mean striping across a single
2749 OST, rather than all available. For general usage we have
2750 found a stripe count of 1 or 2 works best.
2752 Severity : enhancement
2753 Description: Add support for compiling against Cray portals.
2754 Details : Conditional compiling for some areas that are different
2758 Frequency : occasional
2759 Bugzilla : 6409, 6834
2760 Description: Creating files with an explicit stripe count may lead to
2761 a failed assertion on the MDS
2762 Details : If some OSTs are full or unavailable, creating files may
2763 trigger a failed assertion on the MDS. Now, Lustre will
2764 try to use other servers or return an error to the
2768 Frequency : occasional
2770 Description: Multiple concurrent overlapping read+write on multiple SMP nodes
2771 caused lock timeout during readahead (since 1.4.2).
2772 Details : Processes doing readahead might match a lock that hasn't been
2773 granted yet if there are overlapping and conflicting lock
2774 requests. The readahead process waits on ungranted lock
2775 (original lock is CBPENDING), while OST waits for that process
2776 to cancel CBPENDING read lock and eventually evicts client.
2778 Severity : enhancement
2780 Description: Initial enabling of flock support for clients
2781 Details : Implements fcntl advisory locking and file status functions.
2782 This feature is provided as an optional mount flag (default
2783 off), and is NOT CURRENTLY SUPPORTED. Not all types of record
2784 locking are implemented yet, and those that are are not guaranteed
2785 to be completely correct in production environments.
2786 mount -t lustre -o [flock|noflock] ...
2789 Frequency : occasional
2791 Description: OSTs running 2.4 kernels but with extents enabled might trip an
2792 assertion in the ext3 JBD (journaling) layer.
2793 Details : The b_committed_data struct is protected by the big kernel lock
2794 in 2.4 kernels, serializing journal_commit_transaction() and
2795 ext3_get_block_handle->ext3_new_block->find_next_usable_block()
2796 access to this struct. In 2.6 kernels there is finer grained
2797 locking to improve SMP performance of the JBD layer.
2801 Description: Changes the "SCSI I/O Stats" kernel patch to default to "enabled"

2808 versions of Lustre. Please update all servers and clients to
2809 version 1.4.2 or later at the same time. You must also run
