187 be created. See http://inventory.sun.com/ for more information
188 about the Service Tags asset management system.
192 Description: Kernel BUG tries to release flock
193 Details : Lustre does not destroy flock lock before last reference goes
194 away. So always drop flock locks when client is evicted and
195 perform unlock regardless of successfulness of speaking to MDS.

236 Description: timeout with invalidate import.
237 Details : ptlrpcd_check call obd_zombie_impexp_cull and wait request which
238 should be handled by ptlrpcd. This produce long age waiting and
239 -ETIMEOUT ptlrpc_invalidate_import and as result LASSERT.
241 Severity : enhancement
243 Description: Update to RHEL5 kernel-2.6.18-53.1.19.el5.

317 Description: fix for occasional failure case of -ENOSPC in recovery-small tests
318 Details : Move the 'good_osts' check before the 'total_bavail' check. This
319 will result in an -EAGAIN and in the exit call path we call
320 alloc_rr() which will with increasing aggressiveness attempt to
321 aquire precreated objects on the minimum number of required OSCs.
325 Description: Use old size assignment to avoid deadlock
326 Details : Reverts the changes in bugs 2369 and bug 14138 that introduced
327 the scheduling while holding a spinlock. We do not need locking
328 for size in ll_update_inode() because size is only updated from
329 the MDS for directories or files without objects, so there is no
330 other place to do the update, and concurrent access to such inodes
331 are protected by the inode lock.
335 Description: resolve "_IOWR redefined" build error on SLES10

351 before the "smp" at the end. while this was not a problem in
352 general, it did mean that software trying to use the kernel
353 version to try to detect a vendor specific kernel would fail.
354 this was most evident by the OFED build scripts.
358 Description: Don't update lov_desc members until making sure they are valid
359 Details : When updating lov_desc members via proc fs, need fix their
360 validities before doing the real update.

406 of the error messages complaining that MGS is not connected.
410 Frequency : on network error
411 Description: panic with double free request if network error
412 Details : mdc_finish_enqueue is finish request if any network error ocuring,
413 but it's true only for synchronus enqueue, for async enqueue
414 (via ptlrpcd) this incorrect and ptlrpcd want finish request
417 Severity : enhancement
419 Description: client-side metadata stat-ahead during readdir(directory readahead)
420 Details : perform client-side metadata stat-ahead when the client detects
421 readdir and sequential stat of dir entries therein

434 with one of these two fids and both is not stale. Setattr
435 incorrectly started an epoch and assume will be called
436 done_writing, but without SOM done_writing ever being called.
439 Frequency : rare, depends on device drivers and load
441 Description: MDS or OSS nodes crash due to stack overflow
442 Details : Code changes in 1.8.0 increased the stack usage of some functions.
443 In some cases, in conjunction with device drivers that use a lot
444 of stack the MDS (or possibly OSS) service threads could overflow
445 the stack. One change which was identified to consume additional
446 stack has been reworked to avoid the extra stack usage.
449 Frequency : occasional
451 Description: Do not fail import if osc_interpret_create gets -EAGAIN
452 Details : If osc_interpret_create got -EAGAIN it immediately exits and

839 Details : Add the kernel config file for RHEL5.
843 Description: RedHat Update kernel for RHEL5
844 Details : Modify the kernel config file more closer RHEL5.
848 Description: Build failure against Centos5 (RHEL5)
849 Details : Define PAGE_SIZE when it isn't present.
853 Description: test_7 on sanity-quota.sh can't be used on separate machines
854 Details : add facet to handle it
858 Description: "ll_intent_file_open()) lock enqueue: err: -13" with nfs
859 Details : with NFS, the anon dentry's parent was set to itself in
860 d_alloc_anon(), so in MDS, we use rec->ur_fid1 to find the
861 corresponding dentry other than use rec->ur_name.
863 Severity : enhancement
865 Description: lfs setstripe enhancement
866 Details : Make lfs setstripe understand 'k', 'm' and 'g' for stripe size.
870 Description: enable data checksumming by default
871 Details : enable checksum by default, allow --disable-checksum
872 configure option and "-o nochecksum" mount option. Checksums
873 can also be disabled at runtime via $LPROC/osc/*/checksum_pages.
877 Description: lustre support for RHEL5
878 Details : Add support for RHEL5.
882 Description: Client eviction due to failover config
883 Details : after a connection loss, the lustre client should attempt to
884 reconnect to the last active server first before trying the
885 other potential connections.
889 Description: when mds and osts use different quota unit(32bit and 64bit),
890 quota will be released repeatly.
891 Details : void sending multiple quota reqs to mds, which will keep the
892 status between the reqs.
896 Description: osts not allocated evenly to files
897 Details : change the condition to increase offset_idx
900 Frequency : Always for filesystems larger than 2TB on 32-bit systems.
902 Description: Data corruption for OSTs that are formatted larger than 2TB
904 Details : When generating the bio request for lustre file writes the
905 sector number would overflow a temporary variable before being
906 used for the IO. The data reads correctly from Lustre (which
907 will overflow in a similar manner) but other file data or
908 filesystem metadata may be corrupted in some cases.
912 Description: Tune the kernel for good SCSI performance.
913 Details : Set the value of /sys/block/{dev}/queue/max_sectors_kb
914 to the value of /sys/block/{dev}/queue/max_hw_sectors_kb
919 Description: rewrite ext2-derived code in obdclass/uuid.c
920 Details : rewrite inherited code (uuid parsing code from ext2 utils)
921 from scratch preserving functionality.
925 Description: "lfs find -obd UUID" prints directories
926 Details : "lfs find -obd UUID" will return all directory names instead
927 of just file names. It is incorrect because the directories
928 do not reside on the OSTs.
932 Description: use i_size_read and i_size_write in 2.6 port
933 Details : replace inode->i_size access with i_size_read/write()
936 Frequency : when removing large files
938 Description: scheduling issue during removal of large Lustre files
939 Details : Don't take the BKL in fsfilt_ext3_setattr() for 2.6 kernels.
940 It causes scheduling issues when removing large files (17TB in the
944 Frequency : only with liblustre clients on XT3
946 Description: evictions taking too long
947 Details : allow llrd to evict clients directly on OSTs
950 Frequency : only on ppc
952 Description: /proc/fs/lustre/devices broken on ppc
953 Details : The patch as applied to 1.6.2 doesn't look correct for all arches.
954 We should make sure the type of 'index' is loff_t and then cast
955 explicitly as needed below. Do not assign an explicitly cast
959 Frequency : only for rhel5
961 Description: Kernel patches update for RHEL5 2.6.18-8.1.10.el5.
962 Details : Modify the target file & which_kernel.
964 Severity : enhancement
966 Description: omit set fsid for export NFS
967 Details : fix set/restore device id for avoid EMFILE error and mark lustre
968 fs as FS_REQUIRES_DEV for avoid problems with generate fsid.
972 Frequency : Always, for kernels after 2.6.16
973 Description: Fix warning idr_remove called for id=.. which is not allocated.
974 Details : Last kernels save old s_dev before kill super and not allow
975 to restore from callback - restore it before call kill_anon_super.
979 Description: buffer overruns could theoretically occur
980 Details : llapi_semantic_traverse() modifies the "path" argument by
981 appending values to the end of the origin string, and a
982 overrun may occur. Adding buffer overrun check in liblustreapi.
986 Description: Fix error on 'ls .' at the top of the Lustre mount.
987 Details : Don't revalidate dentry if it is a root dentry.
991 Description: Kernel patches update for RHEL4 2.6.9-55.0.6.
992 Details : Modify vm-tunables-rhel4.patch.
996 Description: Kernel config for 2.6.18-vanilla.
997 Details : Modify targets/2.6-vanilla.target.in.
998 Add config file kernel-2.6.18-2.6-vanilla-i686.config.
999 Add config file kernel-2.6.18-2.6-vanilla-i686-smp.config.
1000 Add config file kernel-2.6.18-2.6-vanilla-x86_64.config.
1001 Add config file kernel-2.6.18-2.6-vanilla-x86_64-smp.config.
1005 Description: improve handling recoverable errors
1006 Details : if request processig with error which can be recoverable on server
1007 request should be resend, otherwise page released from cache and
1012 Description: Kernel patches update for RHEL5 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5.
1013 Details : Modify target file & which_patch.
1014 A flaw was found in the IA32 system call emulation provided
1015 on AMD64 and Intel 64 platforms. An improperly validated 64-bit
1016 value could be stored in the %RAX register, which could trigger an
1017 out-of-bounds system call table access. An untrusted local user
1018 could exploit this flaw to run code in the kernel
1019 (ie a root privilege escalation). (CVE-2007-4573).
1023 Description: O_DIRECT bypasses client statistics.
1024 Details : When running with O_DIRECT I/O, neither the client rpc_stats nor
1025 read_ahead_stats were updated. copied the stats section from
1026 osc_send_oap_rpc() into async_internal().
1030 Description: Add jbd statistics patch for RHEL5 and 2.6.18-vanilla
1034 Description: change order of libsysio includes
1035 Details : '#include sysio.h' should always come before '#include xtio.h'
1039 Description: handle "serious error: objid * already exists" more gracefully
1040 Details : If LAST_ID value on disk is smaller than the objects existing in
1041 the O/0/d* directories, it indicates disk corruption and causes an
1042 LBUG(). If the object is 0-length, then we should use the existing
1043 object. This will help to avoid a full fsck in most cases.
1045 Severity : enhancement
1047 Description: adapt the lustre_config script to support the upgrade case
1048 Details : Add "-u" option for lustre_config script to support upgrading 1.4
1049 server targets to 1.6 in parallel.
1053 Description: To avoid grant space > avaible space when the disk is almost
1054 full. Without this patch you might see the error "grant XXXX >
1055 available" or some LBUG about grant, when the disk is almost
1057 Details : In filter_check_grant, for non_grant cache write, we should
1058 check the left space by if (*left > ungranted + bytes), instead
1059 of (*left > ungranted), because only we are sure the left space
1060 is enough for another "bytes", then the ungrant space should be
1061 increase. In client, we should update cl_avail_grant only there
1062 is OBD_MD_FLGRANT in the reply.
1066 Description: Update RHEL 4 kernel to fix local root privilege escalation.
1067 Details : Update to the latest RHEL 4 kernel to fix the vulnerability
1068 described in CVE-2007-4573. This problem could allow untrusted
1069 local users to gain root access.
1072 Frequency : when using O_DIRECT and quotas
1074 Description: Incorrect file ownership on O_DIRECT output files
1075 Details : block usage reported by 'lfs quota' does not take into account
1076 files that have been written with O_DIRECT.
1081 Description: touch file failed when fs is not full
1082 Details : OST in recovery should not be discarded by MDS in alloc_qos(),
1083 otherwise we can get ENOSP while fs is not full.
1087 Description: parallel lock callbacks
1088 Details : Instead of sending blocking and completion callbacks as separated
1089 requests, adding them to a set and sending in parallel.
1092 Frequency : only for Cray XT3
1093 Bugzilla : 12829/13455
1094 Description: Changing primary group doesn't change the group lustre assigns to
1096 Details : When CRAY_XT3 is defined, the fsgid supplied by the client is
1097 overridden with the primary group provided by the group upcall,
1098 whereas the supplied fsgid can be trusted if it is in the list of
1099 supplementary groups returned by the group upcall.
1101 Severity : enhancement
1103 Description: Allow masking D_WARNING, D_ERROR messages from console
1104 Details : Console messages can now be disabled via lnet.printk.
1108 Description: User code with malformed file open parameter crashes client node
1109 Details : Before packing join_file req, all the related reference should be
1110 checked carefully in case some malformed flags cause fake
1111 join_file req on client.
1115 Description: LDLM_ENQUEUE races with LDLM_CP_CALLBACK
1116 Details : ldlm_completion_ast() assumes that a lock is granted when the req
1117 mode is equal to the granted mode. However, it should also check
1118 that LDLM_FL_CP_REQD is not set.
1122 Description: Heavy nfs access might result in deadlocks
1123 Details : After ELC code landed, it is now improper to enqueue any mds
1124 locks under och_sem, because enqueue might want to decide to
1125 cancel open locks for same inode we are holding och_sem for.
1129 Description: Client eviction while running blogbench
1130 Details : A lot of unlink operations with concurrent I/O can lead to a
1131 deadlock causing evictions. To address the problem, the number of
1132 oustanding OST_DESTROY requests is now throttled to
1133 max_rpcs_in_flight per OSC and LDLM_FL_DISCARD_DATA blocking
1134 callbacks are processed in priority.
1138 Description: enable ACLs on MDS by default
1139 Details : ACLs must be enabled on MDS by default.
1142 Frequency : PPC/PPC64 only
1144 Description: conflicts between asm-ppc64/types.h and lustre_types.h
1145 Details : fix duplicated definitions between asm-ppc64/types.h and
1146 lustre_types.h on PPC.
1149 Frequency : PPC/PPC64 only
1151 Description: asm-ppc/segment.h does not exist
1152 Details : fix compile issue on PPC.
1156 Description: better handle error messages in extents code
1159 Frequency : RHEL4 only
1161 Description: mkfs is very slow on IA64/RHEL4
1162 Details : A performance regression has been discovered in the MPT Fusion
1163 driver between versions 3.02.73rh and 3.02.99.00rh. As a
1164 consequence, we have downgraded the MPT Fusion driver in the RHEL4
1165 kernel from 3.02.99.00 to 3.02.73 until this problem is fixed.
1167 Severity : enhancement
1169 Description: SNMP support enhancement
1170 Details : Adding total number of sampled request for an MDS node in snmp
1173 Severity : enhancement
1175 Description: Optimize ldlm waiting list processing for PR extent locks
1176 Details : When processing waiting list for read extent lock and meeting read
1177 lock that is same or wider to it that is not contended, skip
1178 processing rest of the list and immediatelly return current
1179 status of conflictness, since we are guaranteed there are no
1180 conflicting locks in the rest of the list.
1184 Description: Time out and refuse to reconnect
1185 Details : When the failover node is the primary node, it is possible
1186 to have two identical connections in imp_conn_list. We must
1187 compare not conn's pointers but NIDs, otherwise we can defeat
1188 connection throttling.
1192 Description: port llog fixes from b1_6 into HEAD
1193 Details : Port llog reference couting and some llog cleanups from b1_6
1194 (bug 10800) into HEAD, for protect from panic and access to already
1195 free llog structures.
1199 Description: Detect stride IO mode in read-ahead
1200 Details : When a client does stride read, read-ahead should detect that and
1201 read-ahead pages according to the detected stride pattern.
1205 Description: data checksumming impacts single node performance
1206 Details : add support for several checksum algorithm. Currently, only CRC32
1207 and Adler-32 are supported. The checksum type can be changed on
1208 the fly via /proc/fs/lustre/osc/*/checksum_type.
1212 Description: use adler32 for page checksums
1213 Details : when available, use the Adler-32 algorithm instead of CRC32 for
1218 Description: build for x2 fails
1219 Details : fix compile issue on Cray systems.
1223 Description: Properly match for duplicate locks
1224 Details : Due to different lock order from skiplists code, we need to
1225 traverse entire list for now
1228 Frequency : only on PPC/SLES10
1230 Description: "BITS_PER_LONG is not 32 or 64" in linux/idr.h
1231 Details : On SLES10/PPC, fs.h includes idr.h which requires BITS_PER_LONG to
1232 be defined. Add a hack in mkfs_lustre.c to work around this compile
1237 Description: LASSERT on MDS when client holding flock lock dies
1238 Details : ldlm pool logic depends on number of granted locks equal to
1239 number of released locks which is not true for flock locks, so
1240 just exclude such locks from consideration.
1244 Description: MDS deadlock with many ll_sync_lov threads and I/O stalled
1245 Details : Use fsfilt_sync() for both the whole filesystem sync and
1246 individual file sync to eliminate dangerous inode locking
1247 with I_LOCK that can lead to a deadlock.
1251 Description: performance in 1.6.3
1252 Details : Force q->max_phys_segments to MAX_PHYS_SEGMENTS on SLES10 to be
1253 sure that 1MB requests are not fragmented by the block layer.
1255 Severity : enhancement
1257 Description: organize the server-side client stats on per-nid basis
1258 Details : Change the structure of stats under obdfilter and mds to
1266 The "uuid"s file would list the uuids of _active_ exports.
1267 And the clear entry is to clear all stats and stale nids.
1269 Severity : enhancement
1271 Description: eliminate client locks in face of contention
1272 Details : file contention detection and lockless i/o implementation
1273 for contended files.
1277 Description: Reinitialize optind to 0 so that interactive lfs works in all cases
1280 Frequency : very rare, if additional xattrs are used on kernels >= 2.6.12
1282 Description: MDS may lose file striping (and hence file data) in some cases
1283 Details : If there are additional extended attributes stored on the MDS,
1284 in particular ACLs, SELinux, or user attributes (if user_xattr
1285 is specified for the client mount options) then there is a risk
1286 of attribute loss. Additionally, the Lustre file striping
1287 needs to be larger than default (e.g. striped over all OSTs),
1288 and an additional attribute must be stored initially in the
1289 inode and then increase in size enough to be moved to the
1290 external attribute block (e.g. ACL growing in size) for file
1295 Description: skiplist implementation simplification
1296 Details : skiplists are used to group compatible locks on granted list
1297 that was implemented as tracking first and last lock of each
1298 lock group the patch changes that to using doubly linked lists
1302 Description: MDS LBUG: ASSERTION(!IS_ERR(dchild))
1303 Details : Change LASSERTs to client eviction (i.e. abort client's recovery)
1304 because LASSERT on both the data supplied by a client, and the
1305 data on disk is dangerous and incorrect.
1307 Severity : enhancement
1309 Description: Slow truncate/writes to huge files at high offsets.
1310 Details : Directly associate cached pages to lock that protect those pages,
1311 this allows us to quickly find what pages to write and remove
1312 once lock callback is received.
1316 Description: more ldlm soft lockups
1317 Details : In ldlm_resource_add_lock(), call to ldlm_resource_dump()
1318 starve other threads from the resource lock for a long time in
1319 case of long waiting queue, so change the debug level from
1320 D_OTHER to the less frequently used D_INFO.
1322 Severity : enhancement
1324 Description: add -gid, -group, -uid, -user options to lfs find
1328 Description: Hung threads in invalidate_inode_pages2_range
1329 Details : The direct IO path doesn't call check_rpcs to submit a new RPC
1330 once one is completed. As a result, some RPCs are stuck in the
1331 queue and are never sent.
1335 Description: filter threads hungs on waiting journal commit
1336 Details : Cleanup filter group llog code, then only filter group llog will
1337 be only created in the MDS/OST syncing process.
1341 Description: Procfs and llog threads access destoryed import sometimes.
1342 Details : Sync the import destoryed process with procfs and llog threads by
1343 the import refcount and semaphore.
1345 Severity : enhancement
1347 Description: openlock cache of b1_6 port to HEAD
1352 Description: kernel BUG at ldiskfs2_ext_new_extent_cb
1353 Details : If insertion of an extent fails, then discard the inode
1354 preallocation and free data blocks else it can lead to duplicate
1359 Description: don't always update ctime in ext3_xattr_set_handle()
1360 Details : Current xattr code updates inode ctime in ext3_xattr_set_handle.
1361 In some cases the ctime should not be updated, for example for
1362 2.0->1.8 compatibility it is necessary to delete an xattr and it
1363 should not update the ctime.
1367 Bugzilla : 15713/16362
1368 Description: Assertion in iopen_connect_dentry in 1.6.3
1369 Details : looking up an inode via iopen with the wrong generation number can
1370 populate the dcache with a disconneced dentry while the inode
1371 number is in the process of being reallocated. This causes an
1372 assertion failure in iopen since the inode's dentry list contains
1373 both a connected and disconnected dentry.
1377 Description: assertion failure in ldlm_handle2lock()
1378 Details : fix a race between class_handle_unhash() and class_handle2object()
1379 introduced in lustre 1.6.5 by bug 13622.
1384 Description: Kernel BUG: sd_iostats_bump: unexpected disk index
1385 Details : remove the limit of 256 scsi disks in the sd_iostat patch
1390 Description: oops in sd_iostats_seq_show()
1391 Details : unloading/reloading the scsi low level driver triggers a kernel
1392 bug when trying to access the sd iostat file.
1397 Description: Kernel panics during QLogic driver reload
1398 Details : REQ_BLOCK_PC requests are not handled properly in the sd iostat
1399 patch, causing memory corruption.
1404 Description: journal_dev option does not work in b1_6
1405 Details : pass mount option during pre-mount.
1407 Severity : enhancement
1409 Description: Add a FIEMAP(FIle Extent MAP) ioctl
1410 Details : FIEMAP ioctl will allow an application to efficiently fetch the
1411 extent information of a file. It can be used to map logical blocks
1412 in a file to physical blocks in the block device.
1416 Description: LDLM soft lockups - improvement
1417 Details : It is be possible to send the lock handle along with each read
1418 or write request because the client is already doing a lock match
1419 itself so there isn't any reason the OST should have to re-do that
1423 Frequency : only on Cray X2
1425 Description: X2 build failures

1441 Description: Lustre GPF in {:ptlrpc:ptlrpc_server_free_request+373}
1442 Details : In case of memory pressure, list_del() can be called twice on
1443 req->rq_history_list, causing a kernel oops.
1447 Description: kptllnd_peer_check_sends()) ASSERTION(!in_interrupt()) failed
1448 Details : fix stack overflow in the distributed lock manager by defering
1449 export eviction after a failed AST to the elt thread instead of
1450 handling it in the dlm interpret routine.
1454 Description: Convert some comments to new format.
1455 Details : Update documenting comments to match doxygen conventions.
1459 Description: Grammar fixes.
1460 Details : A couple of trivial spelling fixes.
1464 Description: OSD_COUNTERS-mandatory
1465 Details : Make previously optional ->oti_{w,r}_locks sanity checks mandatory
1466 to simplify the code.
1470 Description: simplify cmm_device freeing logic.
1471 Details : Call cmm_device_free() in the failure path of cmm_device_alloc().
1475 Description: Add lockdep support to dt_object_operations locking interface.
1476 Details : Augment ->do_{read,write}_lock() prototypes with a `role'
1477 parameter indicating lock ordering. Update mdd code to use new
1482 Description: Introduce failloc constants for lockless IO tests.
1483 Details : Add two new failloc constants to test lockless IO. Only one of
1484 them in implemented---another is checked in yet to be landed
1489 Description: Add lockdep support for inode mutex.
1490 Details : Introduce and use new LOCK_INODE_MUTEX_PARENT() macro to be used
1491 in the situations where Lustre has to lock more than one inode
1496 Description: Add optional invariants checking support.
1497 Details : Add new LINVRNT() macro, optional on new --enable-invariants
1498 configure switch. This macro is to be used for consistency and
1499 sanity checks that are too expensive to be left in `production'
1504 Description: Zap lock->l_granted_mode with explicit LCK_MINMODE.
1505 Details : Use LCK_MINMODE rather than 0 to reset lock->l_granted_mode to
1510 Description: Add lockdep support for ldlm_lock and ldlm_resource.
1511 Details : Use spin_lock_nested() in (the only) situation where more than
1512 one ldlm_lock is locked simultaneously. Also, fix possible
1513 dead-lock in ldlm_lock_change_resource() by enforcing particular
1518 Description: Use struct ldlm_callback_suite in ldlm_lock_create().
1519 Details : Instead of specifying each ldlm_lock call-back through separate
1520 parameter, wrap them into struct ldlm_callback_suite.
1524 Description: Kill join_lru obd method and its callers.
1525 Details : CLIO uses lock weighting policy to keep locks over mmapped regions
1526 in memory---a requirement implemented through ->o_join_lru() obd
1527 method in HEAD. Remove this method and its users.
1531 Description: Add asynchronous ldlm ENQUEUE completion handler.
1532 Details : CLIO posts ENQUEUE requests asynchronously through ptlrpcd---a
1533 case that stock ldlm_completion_ast() cannot handle as it waits
1534 until lock is granted. Introduce new ldlm_completion_ast_async()
1535 for this. Also comment ldlm_completion_ast().
1539 Description: ldlm_error <-> errno conversion.
1540 Details : Add functions to map (rather arbitrary) between LDLM error codes
1541 and standard errno values. CLIO needs this to prevent LDLM specific
1542 constants from escaping ldlm and osc.
1546 Description: Kill unused ldlm_handle2lock_ns() function.
1547 Details : Kill unused ldlm_handle2lock_ns() function.
1551 Description: Add lu_ref support to ldlm_lock
1552 Details : lu_ref support for ldlm_lock and ldlm_resource. See lu_ref patch.
1553 lu_ref fields ->l_reference and ->lr_reference are added to ldlm_lock
1554 and ldlm_resource. LDLM interface has to be changed, because code that
1555 releases a reference on a lock, has to "know" what reference this is.
1556 In the most frequent case
1558 lock = ldlm_handle2lock(handle);
1560 LDLM_LOCK_PUT(lock);
1562 no changes are required. When any other reference (received _not_ from
1563 ldlm_handle2lock()) is released, LDLM_LOCK_RELEASE() has to be called
1564 instead of LDLM_LOCK_PUT().
1566 Arguably, changes are pervasive, and interface requires some discipline
1567 for proper use. On the other hand, it was very instrumental in finding
1568 a few leaked lock references.
1572 Description: Add ldlm_lock_addref_try().
1573 Details : Introduce ldlm_lock_addref_try() function (used by CLIO) that
1574 attempts to addref a lock that might be being canceled
1579 Description: Add ldlm_weigh_callback().
1580 Details : Add new ->l_weigh_ast() call-back to ldlm_lock. It is called
1581 by ldlm_cancel_shrink_policy() to estimate lock "value", instead of
1582 hard-coded `number of pages' logic.
1586 Description: Add lockdep annotations to llog code.
1587 Details : Use appropriately tagged _nested() locking calls in the places
1588 where llog takes more than one ->lgh_lock lock.
1592 Description: Add loi_kms_set().
1593 Details : Wrap kms updates into a helper function.
1597 Description: Constify instances of struct lsm_operations.
1598 Details : Constify instances of struct lsm_operations.
1602 Description: lu_conf support.
1603 Details : On a server, a file system object is uniquely identified
1604 by a fid, which is sufficient to locate and load all object
1605 state (inode). On a client, on the other hand, more data are
1606 necessary instantiate an object. Change lu_object_find() and
1607 friends to take additional `lu_conf' argument describing object.
1608 Typically this includes layout information.
1612 Description: lu_context fixes.
1613 Details : Introduce new lu_context functions that are needed on the client
1614 side, where some system threads (ptlrpcd) are shared by multiple
1615 modules, and so cannot be stopped during module shutdown.
1619 Description: Add start and stop methods to lu_device_type_operations.
1620 Details : Introduce two new methods in lu_device_type_operations, that are
1621 invoked when first instance of a given type is created and last one
1622 is destroyed respectively. This is need by CLIO.
1626 Description: Add lu_ref support to struct lu_device.
1627 Details : Add lu_ref support to lu_object and lu_device. lu_ref is used to
1628 track leaked references.
1632 Description: Introduce lu_kmem_descr.
1633 Details : lu_kmem_descr and its companion interface allow to create
1634 and destroy a number of kmem caches at once.
1638 Description: Fix lu_object finalization race.
1639 Details : Fix a race between lu_object_find() finding an object and its
1640 concurrent finalization. This race is (most likely) not possible
1641 on the server, but might happen on the client.
1645 Description: Introduce lu_ref interface.
1646 Details : lu_ref is a debugging module allowing to track references to
1647 a given object. It is quite cpu expensive, and has to be
1648 explicitly enabled with --enable-lu_ref. See usage description
1653 Description: Factor lu_site procfs stats into a separate function.
1654 Details : Separate lu_site stats printing code into a separate function
1655 that can be reused on a client.
1659 Description: Constify instances of struct {lu,dt,md}_device_operations.
1660 Details : Constify instances of struct {lu,dt,md}_device_operations.
1664 Description: Introduce struct md_site and move meta-data specific parts of
1665 struct lu_site here.
1666 Details : Move md-specific fields out of struct lu_site into special struct
1667 md_site, so that lu_site can be used on a client.
1671 Description: Kill mdd_lov_destroy().
1672 Details : Remove unused mdd code.
1676 Description: Add st_block checking to multistat.c.
1677 Details : Add st_block checking to multistat.c.
1681 Description: Add lu_ref support to struct obd_device.
1682 Details : Add lu_ref tracking to obd_device.
1686 Description: Kill obd_set_fail_loc().
1687 Details : Remove unused code.
1691 Description: Add special type for ptlrpc_request interpret functions.
1692 Details : Add lu_env parameter to ->rq_interpreter call-back. NULL is passed
1693 there. Actual usage will be in CLIO.
1697 Description: Replace RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED() macro with rwlock_init().
1698 Details : Replace RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED() with rwlock_init() as the former
1699 doesn't work with lockdep.
1703 Description: Add rwv.c test program.
1704 Details : New testing program exercising readv(2) and writev(2) (Qian).
1708 Description: Add sendfile.c test program.
1709 Details : New testing program exercising sendfile(2) (Jay).
1713 Description: Ratelimit a message that can be very frequent.
1714 Details : Ratelimit a memory allocation failure message that can
1719 Description: Use cdebug_show() in CDEBUG-style macros defined outside of libcfs.

1730 Details : libcfs: add cfs_{need,cond}_resched() definition and
1731 implementations for Linux, NT, and liblustre.
1733 Severity : enhancement
1735 Description: More exported tunables for mballoc
1736 Details : Add support for tunable preallocation window and new tunables for
1737 large/small requests
1741 Description: Detect corruption of block bitmap and checking for preallocations
1742 Details : Checks validity of on-disk block bitmap. Also it does better
1743 checking of number of applied preallocations. When corruption is
1744 found, it turns filesystem readonly to prevent further corruptions.

1750 * Support for kernels:
1751 2.6.5-7.283 (SLES 9),
1752 2.6.9-55.EL (RHEL 4),
1753 2.6.16.46-0.14 (SLES 10),
1754 2.6.18.8 vanilla (kernel.org)
1755 * Client support for unpatched kernels:
1756 (see http://wiki.lustre.org/index.php?title=Patchless_Client)
1757 2.6.16 - 2.6.22 vanilla (kernel.org)
1758 * Due to recently discovered recovery problems, we do not recommend
1759 using patchless RHEL 4 clients with this or any earlier release.
1760 * Recommended e2fsprogs version: 1.39.cfs8
1761 * Note that reiserfs quotas are disabled on SLES 10 in this kernel.
1762 * Starting with this release, the ldiskfs backing filesystem required
1763 by Lustre is now in its own package, lustre-ldiskfs. This package
1764 should be installed. It is versioned separately from Lustre and
1765 may be released separately in future.
1769 Description: block reactivating mgc import until all deactivates complete
1770 Details : Fix race when failing back MDT/MGS to itself (testing)
1773 Frequency : at statup only
1775 Description: mds_lov_synchronize race leads to various problems
1776 Details : simultaneous MDT->OST connections at startup can cause the
1777 sync to abort, leaving the OSC in a bad state.
1779 Severity : enhancement
1781 Description: add optional extra BUILD_VERSION info
1782 Details : add a new environment variable (namely LUSTRE_VERS) which allows
1783 to override the lustre version.
1786 Frequency : 2.6.18 servers only
1788 Description: ll_kern_mount() doesn't release the module reference
1789 Details : The ldiskfs module reference count never drops down to 0
1790 because ll_kern_mount() doesn't release the module reference.
1795 Description: server LBUG when using old ost_num_threads parameter
1796 Details : Accept the old ost_num_threads parameter but warn that it
1797 is deprecated, and fix an off-by-one error that caused an LBUG.
1802 Description: Transient SCSI error results in persistent IO issue
1803 Details : iobuf->dr_error is not reinitialized to 0 between two
1807 Frequency : sometimes when underlying device returns I/O errors
1809 Description: OSTs not going read-only during write failures
1810 Details : OSTs are not remounted read-only when the journal commit threads
1811 get I/O errors because fsfilt_ext3 calls journal_start/stop()
1812 instead of the ext3 wrappers.
1816 Description: poor connect scaling with increasing client count
1817 Details : Don't run filter_grant_sanity_check for more than 100 exports
1818 to improve scaling for large numbers of clients.
1821 Frequency : SLES10 only
1823 Description: sanity-quota.sh quotacheck failed: rc = -22
1824 Details : Quotas cannot be enabled on SLES10.
1827 Frequency : liblustre clients only
1829 Description: getdirentries does not give error when run on compute nodes
1830 Details : getdirentries does not fail when the size specified as an argument
1831 is too small to contain at least one entry
1833 Severity : enhancement
1835 Description: Add LNET router traceability for debug purposes
1836 Details : If a checksum failure occurs with a router as part of the
1837 IO path, the NID of the last router that forwarded the bulk data
1838 is printed so it can be identified.
1843 Description: OST "spontaneously" evicts client; client has imp_pingable == 0
1844 Details : Due to a race condition, liblustre clients were occasionally
1845 evicted incorrectly.
1847 Severity : enhancement
1849 Description: lfs setstripe use optional parameters instead of postional
1852 Severity : enhancement
1854 Description: Nanosecond timestamp support for ldiskfs
1855 Details : The on-disk ldiskfs filesystem has added support for nanosecond
1856 resolution timestamps. There is not yet support for this at
1857 the Lustre filesystem level.
1860 Frequency : during server recovery
1862 Description: MDS failing to send precreate requests due to OSCC_FLAG_RECOVERING
1863 Details : request with rq_no_resend flag not awake l_wait_event if they get
1867 Frequency : nfs export on patchless client
1869 Description: connectathon hang when test nfs export over patchless client
1870 Details : Disconnected dentry cannot be found with lookup, so we do not need
1871 to unhash it or make it invalid
1874 Description: fix llapi_lov_get_uuids() to allow many OSTs to be returned
1875 Details: : Change llapi_lov_get_uuids() to read the UUIDs from /proc instead
1876 of using an ioctl. This allows lfsck for > 160 OSTs to succeed.
1881 Description: open req refcounting wrong on reconnect
1882 Details : If reconnect happened between getting open reply from server and
1883 call to mdc_set_replay_data in ll_file_open, we will schedule
1884 replay for unreferenced request that we are about to free.
1885 Subsequent close will crash in variety of ways.
1886 Check that request is still eligible for replay in
1887 mdc_set_replay_data().
1892 Description: disable writes to filesystem when reading health_check file
1893 Details : the default for reading the health_check proc file has changed
1894 to NOT do a journal transaction and write to disk, because this
1895 can cause reads of the /proc file to hang and block HA state
1896 checking on a healthy but otherwise heavily loaded system. It
1897 is possible to return to the previous behaviour during configure
1898 with --enable-health-write.
1900 Severity : enhancement
1902 Description: 64-bit inode version
1903 Details: : Add a on-disk 64-bit inode version for ext3 to track changes made
1904 to the inode. This will be required for version-based recovery.
1909 Description: MDS fails to start if a duplicate client export is detected
1910 Details : in some rare cases it was possible for a client to connect to
1911 an MDS multiple times. Upon recovery the MDS would detect this
1912 and fail during startup. Handle this more gracefully.
1914 Severity : enhancement
1916 Description: Add -o localflock option to simulate old noflock
1918 Details : This will achieve local-only flock/fcntl locks
1924 Description: log_commit_thread vs filter_destroy race leads to crash
1925 Details : Take import reference before releasing llog record semaphore
1930 Description: Wrong request locking in request set processing
1931 Details : ptlrpc_check_set wrongly uses req->rq_lock for proctect add to
1932 imp_delayed_list, in this place should be used imp_lock.
1935 Frequency : when reconnection
1937 Description: Grant Leak when osc reconnect to OST
1938 Details : When osc reconnect ost, OST(filter) should check whether it
1939 should grant more space to client by comparing fed_grant and
1940 cl_avail_grant, and return the granted space to client instead
1941 of "new granted" space, because client will call osc_init_grant
1942 to update the client grant space info.
1945 Frequency : when client reconnect to OST
1947 Description: Grant Leak when osc do resend and replay bulk write
1948 Details : When osc reconnect to OST, OST(filter)should clear grant info of
1949 bulk write request, because the grant info while be sync between
1950 OSC and OST when reconnect, and we should ignore the grant info
1951 these of resend/replay write req.
1956 Description: Grant space more than avaiable left space sometimes.
1957 Details : When then OST is about to be full, if two bulk writing from
1958 different clients came to OST. Accord the avaliable space of the
1959 OST, the first req should be permitted, and the second one
1960 should be denied by ENOSPC. But if the seconde arrived before
1961 the first one is commited. The OST might wrongly permit second
1962 writing, which will cause grant space > avaiable space.
1965 Frequency : when client is evicted
1967 Description: Grant might be wrongly erased when osc is evicted by OST
1968 Details : when the import is evicted by server, it will fork another
1969 thread ptlrpc_invalidate_import_thread to invalidate the
1970 import, where the grant will be set to 0. While the original
1971 thread will update the grant it got when connecting. So if
1972 the former happened latter, the grant will be wrongly errased
1973 because of this race.
1978 Description: Checking Stale with correct fid
1979 Details : ll_revalidate_it should uses de_inode instead of op_data.fid2
1980 to check whether it is stale, because sometimes, we want the
1981 enqueue happened anyway, and op_data.fid2 will not be initialized.
1983 Severity : enhancement
1985 Description: update patchless client
1986 Details : Add support for patchless client with 2.6.20, 2.6.21 and RHEL 5
1989 Frequency : only with 2.4 kernel
1991 Description: random memory corruption
1992 Details : size of struct ll_inode_info is to big for union inode.u and this
1993 can be cause of random memory corruption.
1998 Description: Memory leak in recovery
1999 Details : Lov_mds_md was not free in an error handler in mds_create_object.
2000 It should also check obd_fail before fsfilt_start, otherwise if
2001 fsfilt_start return -EROFS,(failover mds during mds recovery).
2002 then the req will return with repmsg->transno = 0 and rc = EROFS.
2003 and we met hit the assert LASSERT(req->rq_reqmsg->transno ==
2004 req->rq_repmsg->transno) in ptlrpc_replay_interpret. Fcc should
2005 be freed no matter whether fsfilt_commit success or not.
2008 Frequency : only with huge count clients
2010 Description: Prevents from taking the superblock lock in llap_from_page for
2012 Details : using LL_ORIGIN_REMOVEPAGE origin flag instead of LL_ORIGIN_UNKNOW
2013 for llap_from_page call in ll_removepage prevents from taking the
2014 superblock lock for a soon died page.
2019 Description: Not check open intent error before release open handle
2020 Details : in some rare cases, the open intent error is not checked before
2021 release open handle, which may cause
2022 ASSERTION(open_req->rq_transno != 0), because it tries to release
2023 the failed open handle.
2028 Description: Set cat log bitmap only after create log success.
2029 Details : in some rare cases, the cat log bitmap is set too early. and it
2030 should be set only after create log success.
2034 Description: Accessing a block bevice can re-enable I/O when Lustre is
2035 tearing down a device.
2036 Details : dev_clear_rdonly(bdev) must be called in kill_bdev() instead of
2041 Description: service threads may hog cpus when there are a lot of requests
2042 Details : Insert cond_resched to give other threads a chance to use some CPU
2047 Description: the cat log was not initialized in recovery
2048 Details : When mds(mgs) do recovery, the tgt_count might be zero, so the
2049 unlink log on mds will not be initialized until mds post
2050 recovery. And also in mds post recovery, the unlink log will
2051 initialization will be done asynchronausly, so there will be race
2052 between add unlink log and unlink log initialization.
2056 Description: brw_stats were being printed incorrectly
2057 Details : brw_stats were being printed as log2 but all of them were not
2058 recorded as log2. Also remove some code duplication arising from
2059 filter_tally_{read,write}.
2063 Frequency : rare, only in recovery.
2064 Description: ASSERTION(req->rq_type != LI_POISON) failed
2065 Details : imp_lock should be held while iterating over imp_sending_list for
2066 prevent destroy request after get timeout in ptlrpc_queue_wait.
2070 Description: replay-single.sh test 52 fails
2071 Details : A lock's skiplist need to be cleanup when it being unlinked
2072 from its resource list.
2076 Description: Short directio read returns full requested size rather than
2078 Details : Direct I/O operations should return actual amount of bytes
2079 transferred rather than requested size.
2081 Severity : enhancement
2083 Description: metadata RPC reduction (e.g. for rm performance)
2084 Details : decrease the amount of synchronous RPC between clients and servers
2085 by canceling conflicing lock before the operation on the client
2086 and packing thier handles into the main operation RPC to server.
2088 Severity : enhancement
2090 Description: Async OSC create to avoid the blocking unnecessarily.
2091 Details : If a OST has no remain object, system will block on the creating
2092 when need to create a new object on this OST. Now, ways use
2093 pre-created objects when available, instead of blocking on an
2094 empty osc while others are not empty. If we must block, we block
2095 for the shortest possible period of time.
2099 Description: improve handling recoverable errors
2100 Details : if request processig with error which can be recoverable on server
2101 request should be resend, otherwise page released from cache and
2104 Severity : enhancement
2106 Description: refine locking for avoid write wrong info into lov_objid file

2119 Description: 1.6 client sometimes fails to mount from a 1.4 MDT
2120 Details : Uninitialized flags sometimes cause configuration commands to
2124 Frequency : patchless clients only
2126 Description: missing __iget() symbol export
2127 Details : The __iget() symbol export is missing. To avoid the need for
2128 this on patchless clients the deathrow inode reaper is turned
2129 off, and we depend on the VM to clean up old inodes. This
2130 dependency was during via the fix for bug 12181.

2136 * CONFIGURATION CHANGE. This version of Lustre WILL NOT
2137 INTEROPERATE with older versions automatically. In many cases a
2138 special upgrade step is needed. Please read the
2139 user documentation before upgrading any part of a live system.
2140 * WIRE PROTOCOL CHANGE from previous 1.6 beta versions. This
2141 version will not interoperate with 1.6 betas before beta5 (1.5.95).
2142 * WARNING: Lustre configuration and startup changes are required with
2143 this release. See https://mail.clusterfs.com/wikis/lustre/MountConf
2147 Severity : enhancement
2149 Description: MountConf
2150 Details : Lustre configuration is now managed via mkfs and mount
2151 commands instead of lmc and lconf. New obd types (MGS, MGC)
2152 are added for dynamic configuration management. See
2153 https://mail.clusterfs.com/wikis/lustre/MountConf for
2156 Severity : enhancement
2158 Description: dynamic OST addition
2159 Details : OSTs can now be added to a live filesystem
2161 Severity : enhancement
2163 Description: startup order invariance
2164 Details : MDTs and OSTs can be started in any order. Clients only
2165 require the MDT to complete startup.
2167 Severity : enhancement
2169 Description: parallel, asynchronous orphan cleanup
2170 Details : orphan cleanup is now performed in separate threads for each
2171 OST, allowing parallel non-blocking operation.
2173 Severity : enhancement
2175 Description: optimized stripe assignment
2176 Details : stripe assignments are now made based on ost space available,
2177 ost previous usage, and OSS previous usage, in order to try
2178 to optimize storage space and networking resources.
2180 Severity : enhancement
2182 Description: Permanently set tunables
2183 Details : All writable /proc/fs/lustre tunables can now be permanently
2184 set on a per-server basis, at mkfs time or on a live system.
2186 Severity : enhancement
2188 Description: Lustre message v2
2189 Details : Add lustre message format v2.
2191 Severity : enhancement
2193 Description: client OST exclusion list
2194 Details : Clients can be started with a list of OSTs that should be
2195 declared "inactive" for known non-responsive OSTs.
2199 Description: SPEC SFS validation failure on NFS v2 over lustre.
2200 Details : Changes the blocksize for regular files to be 2x RPC size,
2201 and not depend on stripe size.
2203 Severity : enhancement
2205 Description: Multiple MD RPCs in flight.
2206 Details : Further unserialise some read-only MDS RPCs - learn about intents.
2207 To avoid overly-overloading MDS, introduce a limit on number of
2208 MDS RPCs in flight for a single client and add /proc controls
2209 to adjust this limit.
2211 Severity : enhancement
2213 Description: client read/write statistics
2214 Details : Add client read/write call usage stats for performance
2215 analysis of user processes.
2216 /proc/fs/lustre/llite/*/offset_stats shows non-sequential
2217 file access. extents_stats shows chunk size distribution.
2218 extents_stats_per_process show chunk size distribution per

2224 Details : Add detailed mds operations statistics in
2225 /proc/fs/lustre/mds/*/stats.
2229 Description: Failure of copying files with lustre special EAs.
2230 Details : Client side always return success for setxattr call for lustre
2231 special xattr (currently only "trusted.lov").
2236 Description: Refcount LNET uuids
2237 Details : The global LNET uuid list grew linearly with every startup;
2238 refcount repeated list entries instead of always adding to
2241 Severity : enhancement
2243 Description: Dynamic service threads
2244 Details : Within a small range, start extra service threads
2245 automatically when the request queue builds up.
2248 Frequency : mixed-endian client/server environments
2250 Description: mixed-endian crashes
2251 Details : The new msg_v2 system had some failures in mixed-endian

2262 Description: MGS proc entries
2263 Details : Added basic proc entries for the MGS showing what filesystems
2266 Severity : enhancement
2268 Description: provide MGS failover
2269 Details : Added config lock reacquisition after MGS server failover.
2271 Severity : enhancement
2273 Description: add Linux 2.4 support
2274 Details : Added support for RHEL 2.4.21 kernel for 1.6 servers and clients
2278 Description: a large application tries to do I/O to the same resource and dies
2279 in the middle of it.
2280 Details : Check the req->rq_arrival time after the call to
2281 ost_brw_lock_get(), but before we do anything about
2282 processing it & sending the BULK transfer request. This
2283 should help move old stale pending locks off the queue as
2284 quickly as obd_timeout.
2287 Frequency : when an incorrect nid is specified during startup
2289 Description: ptlrpc connect to non-existant node causes kernel crash
2290 Details : LNET can't be re-entered from an event callback, which
2291 happened when we expire a message after the export has been
2292 cleaned up. Instead, hand the zombie cleanup off to another
2295 Severity : enhancement
2297 Description: plain/inodebits lock performance improvement
2298 Details : Grouping plain/inodebits in granted list by their request modes
2299 and bits policy, thus improving the performance of search through
2303 Frequency : only if OST filesystem is corrupted
2305 Description: client incorrectly hits assertion in ptlrpc_replay_req()
2306 Details : for a short time RPCs with bulk IO are in the replay list,
2307 but replay of bulk IOs is unimplemented. If the OST filesystem
2308 is corrupted due to disk cache incoherency and then replay is
2309 started it is possible to trip an assertion. Avoid putting
2310 committed RPCs into the replay list at all to avoid this issue.
2313 Frequency : liblustre (e.g. catamount) on a large cluster with >= 8 OSTs/OSS
2315 Description: System hang on startup
2316 Details : This bug allowed the liblustre (e.g. catamount) client to
2317 return to the app before handling all startup RPCs. This
2318 could leave the node unresponsive to lustre network traffic
2319 and manifested as a server ptllnd timeout.
2321 Severity : enhancement
2323 Description: Add "/proc/sys/lustre/debug_peer_on_timeout"
2324 Details : liblustre envirable: LIBLUSTRE_DEBUG_PEER_ON_TIMEOUT
2325 boolean to control whether to print peer debug info when a
2326 client's RPC times out.

2331 Description: Remove old rdonly API
2332 Details : Remove old rdonly API which unused from at least lustre 1.4.3
2335 Frequency : only for devices with external journals
2337 Description: Set external device read-only also
2338 Details : During a commanded failover stop, we set the disk device
2339 read-only while the server shuts down. We now also set any
2340 external journal device read-only at the same time.
2343 Frequency : when upgrading from 1.4 while trying to change parameters
2345 Description: The wrong (new) MDC name was used when setting parameters for
2346 upgraded MDT's. Also allows changing of OSC (and MDC)
2347 parameters if --writeconf is specified at tunefs upgrade time.
2350 Frequency : when setting specific ost indicies
2352 Description: QOS code breaks on skipped indicies
2353 Details : Add checks for missing OST indicies in the QOS code, so OSTs
2354 created with --index need not be sequential.
2356 Severity : enhancement
2358 Description: Add uninit_groups feature to ldiskfs2 to speed up e2fsck
2359 Details : The uninit_groups feature works in conjunction with the kernel
2360 filesystem code (ldiskfs2 only) and e2fsprogs-1.39-cfs6 to speed
2361 up the pass1 processing of e2fsck. This is a read-only feature
2362 in ldiskfs2 only, so older kernels and current ldiskfs cannot
2363 mount filesystems that have had this feature enabled.
2365 Severity : enhancement
2367 Description: Improve multi-block allocation algorithm to avoid fragmentation
2368 Details : The mballoc3 code (ldiskfs2 only) adds new mechanisms to improve
2369 allocation locality and avoid filesystem fragmentation.

2375 * Support for kernels:
2376 2.4.21-47.0.1.EL (RHEL 3)
2377 2.6.5-7.283 (SLES 9)
2378 2.6.9-42.0.10.EL (RHEL 4)
2379 2.6.12.6 vanilla (kernel.org)
2380 2.6.16.27-0.9 (SLES 10)
2381 * Recommended e2fsprogs version: 1.39.cfs5
2383 * Note that reiserfs quotas are disabled on SLES 10 in this kernel
2387 Frequency : occasional, depends on client load and configuration
2388 Bugzilla : 12181, 12203
2389 Description: data loss for recently-modified files
2391 Details : In some cases it is possible that recently written or created
2392 files may not be written to disk in a timely manner (this should
2393 normally be within 30s unless client IO load is very high).
2394 The problem appears as zero-length files or files that are a
2395 multiple of 1MB in size after a client crash or client eviction
2396 that are missing data at the end of the file.
2398 This problem is more likely to be hit on clients where files are
2399 repeatedly created and unlinked in the same directory, clients
2400 have a large amount of RAM, have many CPUs, the filesystem has
2401 many OSTs, the clients are rebooted frequently, and/or the files
2402 are not accessed by other nodes after being written.
2404 The presence of the problem can be detected by looking at
2405 /proc/sys/fs/inode-state. If the first number (nr_inodes) is
2406 smaller than the second (nr_unused) then dirty files will not
2407 be flushed automatically to disk. "sync; sleep 10" should be
2408 run several times on the node before unmounting it to update
2409 Lustre (this is also safe to run on nodes without this problem).
2411 There is also a related kernel bug in the RHEL4 4 2.6.9 kernel
2412 that can cause this same problem, so customers using that kernel
2413 also need to update the kernel in addition to Lustre. In order
2414 to properly fix this bug, the RHEL3 2.4.21 kernel is also updated.
2416 It is normal that files written just before a client crash (less
2417 than 30s) may not yet have been flushed to disk, even for local
2421 Frequency : frequent on thin XT3 nodes
2423 Description: UUID collision on thin XT3 Linux nodes
2424 Details : UUIDs on Compute Node Linux XT3 nodes were not generated
2425 randomly, since we relied on an insufficiently-seeded PRNG.
2430 Description: OSS hangs after "All ost request buffers busy"
2431 Details : A deadlock between quota and journal operations caused OSS
2432 hangs after printing "All ost request buffers busy."
2435 Frequency : always on liblustre builds
2437 Description: Cleanup compiler warnings on liblustre
2440 Frequency : always on liblustre builds on XT3
2442 Description: LC_CONFIG_CDEBUG don't run while build liblustre on XT3.
2446 Description: Addition of EXT3_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_DIR_NLINKS flag for
2447 > 32000 subdirectories
2448 Details : Add EXT3_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_DIR_NLINK flag to
2449 EXT3_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_SUPP. This flag will be set whenever
2450 subdirectory count crosses 32000. This will aid e2fsck to
2451 correctly handle more than 32000 subdirectories.
2454 Frequency : liblustre (e.g. catamount) on a large cluster with >= 8 OSTs/OSS
2456 Description: System hang on startup
2457 Details : This bug allowed the liblustre (e.g. catamount) client to
2458 return to the app before handling all startup RPCs. This
2459 could leave the node unresponsive to lustre network traffic
2460 and manifested as a server ptllnd timeout.
2462 Severity : enhancement
2464 Description: Add "/proc/sys/lustre/debug_peer_on_timeout"
2465 (liblustre envirable: LIBLUSTRE_DEBUG_PEER_ON_TIMEOUT)
2466 boolean to control whether to print peer debug info when a
2467 client's RPC times out.
2472 Description: make O_SYNC working on 2.6 kernels
2473 Details : 2.6 kernels use different method for mark pages for write,
2474 so need add a code to lustre for O_SYNC work.
2479 Description: Failure to close file and release space on NFS
2480 Details : Put inode details into lock acquired in ll_intent_file_open.
2481 Use mdc_intent_lock in ll_intent_open to properly
2482 detect all kind of errors unhandled by mdc_enqueue.
2487 Description: proc file read during shutdown sometimes raced obd removal,
2489 Details : Add lock to prevent obd access after proc file removal.
2492 Frequency : Only for files larger than 4GB on 32-bit clients.
2494 Description: improperly doing page alignment of locks
2495 Details : Modify lustre core code to use CFS_PAGE_* defines instead of
2496 PAGE_*. Make CFS_PAGE_MASK a 64-bit mask.
2501 Description: RPCs being resent when they shouldn't be
2502 Details : Some RPCs that should not be resent are being resent. This
2503 can cause inconsistencies in the RPC state machine. Do not
2504 resend such requests.
2507 Frequency : rare, only with NFS export
2509 Description: Crash on NFS re-export node
2510 Details : under very unusual load conditions an assertion is hit in
2511 ll_intent_file_open()
2514 Frequency : only if OST filesystem is corrupted
2516 Description: client incorrectly hits assertion in ptlrpc_replay_req()
2517 Details : for a short time RPCs with bulk IO are in the replay list,
2518 but replay of bulk IOs is unimplemented. If the OST filesystem
2519 is corrupted due to disk cache incoherency and then replay is
2520 started it is possible to trip an assertion. Avoid putting
2521 committed RPCs into the replay list at all to avoid this issue.
2526 Description: large O_DIRECT requests fail under memory pressure/fragmentation
2527 Details : Large single O_DIRECT read and write calls can fail to allocate
2528 a sufficiently large buffer to process the request. In case of
2529 allocation failure the allocation is retried with a smaller
2530 buffer and broken into smaller requests.
2532 Severity : enhancement
2534 Description: Add -o localflock option to simulate old noflock behaviour.
2535 Details : This will achieve local-only flock/fcntl locks coherentness.
2540 Description: versioning check is incomplete
2541 Details : Checking the version difference of client vs. server, report
2542 error if the gap is too big.
2547 Description: add support PG_writeback bit
2548 Details : add support for PG_writeback bit for Lustre, for more carefull
2549 work with page cache in 2.6 kernel. This also fix some deadlocks
2550 and remove hack for work O_SYNC with 2.6 kernel.
2552 Severity : enhancement
2554 Description: Add uninit_groups feature to ldiskfs2 to speed up e2fsck
2555 Details : The uninit_groups feature works in conjunction with the kernel
2556 filesystem code (ldiskfs2 only) and e2fsprogs-1.39-cfs6 to speed
2557 up the pass1 processing of e2fsck. This is a read-only feature
2558 in ldiskfs2 only, so older kernels and current ldiskfs cannot
2559 mount filesystems that have had this feature enabled.
2561 Severity : enhancement
2563 Description: Improve multi-block allocation algorithm to avoid fragmentation
2564 Details : The mballoc3 code (ldiskfs2 only) adds new mechanisms to improve
2565 allocation locality and avoid filesystem fragmentation.

2575 2.6.12.6 vanilla (kernel.org)
2576 2.6.16.21-0.8 (SLES10)
2577 * Recommended e2fsprogs version: 1.39.cfs2-0
2579 * The backwards-compatible /proc/sys/portals symlink has been removed
2580 in this release. Before upgrading, please ensure that you change
2581 any configuration scripts or /etc/sysctl.conf files that access
2582 /proc/sys/portals/* or sysctl portals.* to use the corresponding
2583 entry in /proc/sys/lnet or sysctl lnet.*. This change can be made
2584 in advance of the upgrade on any system running Lustre 1.4.6 or
2585 newer, since /proc/sys/lnet was added in that version.
2586 * Note that reiserfs quotas are disabled on SLES 10 in this kernel
2590 Frequency : only when quota is used
2592 Description: avoid scanning export list for quota master
2593 Details : Change the algorithms to avoid scanning export list in order
2594 to improve the efficiency.
2597 Frequency : MDS failover only, very rarely
2599 Description: "went back in time" messages on mds failover
2600 Details : The greatest transno may be lost when the current operation
2601 finishes with an error (transno==0) and the client's last_rcvd
2602 record is over-written. Save the greatest transno in the
2603 mds_last_transno for this case.
2606 Frequency : always for specific kernels and striping counts
2608 Description: client may get "Matching packet too big" without ACL support
2609 Details : Clients compiled without CONFIG_FS_POSIX_ACL get an error message
2610 when trying to access files in certain configurations. The
2611 clients should in fact be denied when mounting because they do
2612 not understand ACLs.
2615 Frequency : Cray XT3 with more than 4000 clients and multiple jobs
2617 Description: many clients connecting with IO in progress causes connect timeouts
2618 Details : Avoid synchronous journal commits to avoid delays caused by many
2619 clients connecting/disconnecting when bulk IO is in progress.
2620 Queue liblustre connect requests on OST_REQUEST_PORTAL instead of
2621 OST_IO_PORTAL to avoid delays behind potentially many pending
2625 Frequency : occasionally with multiple writers to a single file
2627 Description: shared writes to file may result in wrong size reported by stat()
2628 Details : Allow growing of kms when extent lock is cancelled
2631 Frequency : always with random mmap IO to multi-striped file
2633 Description: mmap write might be lost if we are writing to a 'hole' in stripe
2634 Details : Only if the hole is at the end of OST object so that kms is too
2635 small. Fix is to increase kms accordingly in ll_nopage.
2638 Frequency : rare, only if OST filesystem is inconsistent with MDS filesystem
2640 Description: writes to a missing object would leak memory on the OST
2641 Details : If there is an inconsistency between the MDS and OST filesystems,
2642 such that the MDS references an object that doesn't exist, writes
2643 to that object will leak memory due to incorrect cleanup in the
2644 error handling path, eventually running out of memory on the OST.
2649 Description: Creating too long symlink causes lustre errors
2650 Details : Check symlink and name lengths before sending requests to MDS.
2653 Frequency : only if flock is enabled (not on by default)
2655 Description: posix locks not released on fd closure on 2.6.9+
2656 Details : We failed to add posix locks to list of inode locks on 2.6.9+
2657 kernels, this caused such locks not to be released on fd close and
2658 then assertions on fs unmount about still used locks.
2661 Frequency : MDS failover only, very rarely
2663 Description: clients may get ASSERTION(granted_lock != NULL)
2664 Details : When request was taking a long time, and a client was resending
2665 a getattr by name lock request. The were multiple lock requests
2666 with the same client lock handle and
2667 mds_getattr_name->fixup_handle_for_resent_request found one of the
2668 lock handles but later failed with ASSERTION(granted_lock != NULL).
2673 Description: handle->h_buffer_credits > 0, assertion failure
2674 Details : h_buffer_credits is zero after truncate, causing assertion
2675 failure. This patch extends the transaction or creates a new
2679 Frequency : NFS re-export or patchless client
2680 Bugzilla : 11179, 10796
2681 Description: Crash on NFS re-export node (__d_move)
2682 Details : We do not want to hash the dentry if we don't have a lock.
2683 But if this dentry is later used in d_move, we'd hit uninitialised
2684 list head d_hash, so we just do this to init d_hash field but
2685 leave dentry unhashed.
2688 Frequency : NFS re-export or patchless client
2690 Description: NFS exports has problem with symbolic link
2691 Details : lustre client didn't properly install dentry when re-exported
2692 to NFS or running patchless client.
2695 Frequency : NFS re-export or patchless client
2697 Description: Various nfs/patchless fixes.
2698 Details : fixes reuse disconected alias for lookup process - this fixes
2699 warning "find_exported_dentry: npd != pd",
2700 fix permission error with open files at nfs.
2701 fix apply umask when do revalidate.
2704 Frequency : occasional
2706 Description: Crash on NFS re-export node
2707 Details : calling clear_page() on the wrong pointer triggered oops in
2708 generic_mapping_read().
2711 Frequency : rarely, using O_DIRECT IO
2713 Description: unaligned directio crashes client with LASSERT
2714 Details : check for unaligned buffers before trying any requests.
2717 Frequency : rarely, using CFS RAID5 patches in non-standard kernel series
2719 Description: stale data returned from RAID cache
2720 Details : If only a small amount of IO is done to the RAID device before
2721 reading it again it is possible to get stale data from the RAID
2722 cache instead of reading it from disk.
2725 Frequency : always for sles10 kernel
2727 Description: sles10 support
2728 Details : ll_follow_link: compile fixes and using of nd_set_link
2729 under newer kernels.
2732 Frequency : depends on arch, kernel and compiler version, always on sles10
2735 Description: recursive or deep enough symlinks cause stack overflow
2736 Details : getting rid of large stack-allocated variable in
2740 Frequency : depends on hardware
2742 Description: lustre write performance loss in the SLES10 kernel
2743 Details : the performance loss is caused by using of write barriers in the
2744 ext3 code. The SLES10 kernel turns barrier support on by
2745 default. The fix is to undo that change for ldiskfs.

2754 2.4.21-47.0.1.EL (RHEL 3)
2755 2.6.12.6 vanilla (kernel.org)
2759 Frequency : quota enabled and large files being deleted
2761 Description: releasing more than 4GB of quota at once hangs OST
2762 Details : If a user deletes more than 4GB of files on a single OST it
2763 will cause the OST to spin in an infinite loop. Release
2764 quota in < 4GB chunks, or use a 64-bit value for 1.4.7.1+.
2769 Description: statfs data retrieved from /proc may be stale or zero
2770 Details : When reading per-device statfs data from /proc, in the
2771 {kbytes,files}_{total,free,avail} files, it may appear
2772 as zero or be out of date.
2775 Frequency : systems with MD RAID1 external journal devices
2777 Description: lconf's call to blkid is confused by RAID1 journal devices
2778 Details : Use the "blkid -l" flag to locate the MD RAID device instead
2779 of returning all block devices that match the journal UUID.
2782 Frequency : always, for aggregate stripe size over 4GB
2784 Description: "lfs setstripe" fails assertion when setting 4GB+ stripe width
2785 Details : Using "lfs setstripe" to set stripe size * stripe count over 4GB
2786 will fail the kernel with "ASSERTION(lsm->lsm_xfersize != 0)"
2789 Frequency : always if "lfs find" used on a local file/directory
2791 Description: "lfs find" segfaults if used on a local file/directory
2792 Details : The case where a directory component was not specified wasn't
2793 handled correctly. Handle this properly.
2796 Frequency : always on ppc64
2798 Description: the write to an ext3 filesystem mounted with mballoc got stuck
2799 Details : ext3_mb_generate_buddy() uses find_next_bit() which does not
2800 perform endianness conversion.
2803 Frequency : rarely (truncate to non-zero file size after write under load)
2804 Bugzilla : 10730, 10687
2805 Description: Files padded with zeros to next 4K multiple
2806 Details : With filesystems mounted using the "extents" option (2.6 kernels)
2807 it is possible that files that are truncated to a non-zero size
2808 immediately after being written are filled with zero bytes beyond
2809 the truncated size. No file data is lost.
2811 Severity : enhancement
2813 Description: Allow recovery/failover for liblustre clients.
2814 Details : liblustre clients were unaware of failover configurations until
2817 Severity : enhancement
2819 Description: user file locks should fail when not mounting with flock option
2820 Details : Set up an error-returning stub in ll_file_operations.lock field
2821 to prevent incorrect behaviour when client is mounted without
2822 flock option. Also, set up properly f_op->flock field for
2826 Frequency : always on ia64
2828 Description: "lfs df" loops on printing out MDS statfs information
2829 Details : The obd_ioctl_data was not initialized and in some systems
2830 this caused a failure during the ioctl that did not return
2831 an error. Initialize the struct and return an error on failure.
2834 Frequency : SLES 9 only
2836 Description: Error of copying files with lustre special EAs as root
2837 Details : Client side always return success for setxattr call for lustre
2838 special xattr (currently only "trusted.lov").
2841 Frequency : rarely on clusters with both ia64+i386 clients
2843 Description: ia64+i686 clients doing shared IO on the same file may LBUG
2844 Details : In rare cases when both ia64+i686 (or other mixed-PAGE_SIZE)
2845 clients are doing concurrent writes to the same file it is
2846 possible that the ia64 clients may LASSERT because the OST
2847 extent locks are not PAGE_SIZE aligned. Ensure that grown
2848 locks are always aligned on the request boundary.
2851 Frequency : specific use, occasional
2853 Description: Overwriting in use executable truncates on-disk binary image
2854 Details : If one node attempts to overwrite an executable in use by
2855 another node, we now correctly return ETXTBSY instead of
2856 truncating the file.
2858 Severity : enhancement
2860 Description: Async OSC create to avoid the blocking unnecessarily.
2861 Details : If a OST has no remain object, system will block on the creating
2862 when need to create a new object on this OST. Now, ways use
2863 pre-created objects when available, instead of blocking on an
2864 empty osc while others are not empty. If we must block, we block
2865 for the shortest possible period of time.
2870 Description: chmod on Lustre root is propagated to other clients
2871 Details : Re-validate root's dentry in ll_lookup_it to avoid having it
2872 invalid by the follow_mount time.
2875 Frequency : liblustre clients only
2877 Description: Race in 'instant cancel' lock handling could lead to such locks
2878 never to be granted in case of SMP MDS
2879 Details : Do not destroy not yet granted but cbpending locks in
2883 Frequency : replay/resend of open
2885 Description: non null lock assetion failure in mds_intent_policy
2886 Details : Trying to replay/resend lockless open requests resulted in
2887 mds_open() returning 0 with no lock. Now it sets a flag if
2888 a lock is going to be returned.
2890 Severity : enhancement
2892 Description: Checksum enhancements
2893 Details : New checksum enhancements allow for resending RPCs that failed
2896 Severity : enhancement
2898 Description: Tunables on number of dirty pages in cacche
2899 Details : Allow to set limit on number of dirty pages cached.
2904 Description: client crash on unmount - lock still has references
2905 Details : In some error handling cases it was possible to leak a lock
2906 reference on a client while accessing a file. This was not
2907 harmful to the client during operation, but would cause the
2908 client to crash when the filesystem is unmounted.
2911 Frequency : specific case, rare
2913 Description: ETXTBSY on mds though file not in use by client
2914 Details : ETXTBSY is no longer incorrectly returned when attempting to
2915 chmod or chown a directory that the user previously tried to
2916 execute or a currently-executing binary.
2919 Frequency : extremely rare except on liblustre-based clients
2921 Description: Lustre space not freed when files are deleted
2922 Details : Clean up open-unlinked files after client eviction. Previously
2923 the unlink was skipped and the files remained as orphans.
2928 Description: OST failure "would be an LBUG" in waiting_locks_callback()
2929 Details : In some cases it was possible to send a blocking callback to
2930 a client doing a glimpse, even though that client didn't get
2931 a lock granted. When the glimpse lock is cancelled on the OST
2932 the freed lock is left on the waiting list and corrupted the list.
2935 Frequency : all core dumps
2937 Description: Broke core dumps to lustre
2938 Details : Negative dentry may be unhashed if parent does not have UPDATE
2939 lock, but some callers, e.g. do_coredump, expect dentry to be
2940 hashed after successful create, hash it in ll_create_it.

2974 Bugzilla : 5719, 9635, 9792, 9684
2975 Description: OST (or MDS) trips assertions in (re)connection under heavy load
2976 Details : If a server is under heavy load and cannot reply to new
2977 connection requests before the client resends the (re)connect,
2978 the connection handling code can behave badly if two service
2979 threads are concurrently handing separate (re)connections from
2980 the same client. Add better locking to the connection handling
2981 code, and ensure that only a single connection will be processed
2982 for a given client UUID, even if the lock is dropped.
2984 Severity : enhancement
2986 Description: add TCP zero-copy support to kernel
2987 Details : Add support to the kernel TCP stack to allow zero-copy bulk
2988 sends if the hardware supports scatter-gather and checksumming.
2989 This allows socklnd to do client-write and server-read more
2990 efficiently and reduce CPU utilization from skbuf copying.
2993 Frequency : only if NFS exporting from client
2995 Description: NULL pointer deref in ll_iocontrol() if chattr mknod file
2996 Details : If setting attributes on a file created under NFS that had
2997 never been opened it would be possible to oops the client
2998 if the file had no objects.
3001 Frequency : always for liblustre
3003 Description: liblustre client does MDS+OSTs setattr RPC for each write
3004 Details : When doing a write from a liblustre client, the client
3005 incorrectly issued an RPC to the MDS and each OST the file was
3006 striped over in order to update the timestamps. When writing
3007 with small chunks and many clients this could overwhelm the MDS
3008 with RPCs. In all cases it would slow down the write because
3009 these RPCs are unnecessary.
3011 Severity : enhancement
3013 Description: allow number of MDS service threads to be changed at module load
3014 Details : It is now possible to change the number of MDS service threads
3015 running. Adding "options mds mds_num_threads={N}" to the MDS's
3016 /etc/modprobe.conf will set the number of threads for the next
3017 time Lustre is restarted (assuming the "mds" module is also
3018 reloaded at that time). The default number of threads will
3019 stay the same, 32 for most systems.
3024 Description: OST crash if filesystem is unformatted or corrupt
3025 Details : If an OST is started on a device that has never been formatted
3026 or if the filesystem is corrupt and cannot even mount then the
3027 error handling cleanup routines would dereference a NULL pointer.
3032 Description: NULL pointer deref in llap_from_page.
3033 Details : get_cache_page_nowait can return a page with NULL (or otherwise
3034 incorrect) mapping if the page was truncated/reclaimed while it was
3035 searched for. Check for this condition and skip such pages when
3036 doing readahead. Introduce extra check to llap_from_page() to
3037 verify page->mapping->host is non-NULL (so page is not anonymous).
3040 Frequency : Sometimes when using sys_sendfile
3042 Description: "page not covered by a lock" warnings from ll_readpage
3043 Details : sendfile called ll_readpage without right page locks present.
3044 Now we introduced ll_file_sendfile that does necessary locking
3045 around call to generic_file_sendfile() much like we do in
3049 Frequency : with certain MDS communication failures at client mount time
3051 Description: NULL pointer deref after failed client mount
3052 Details : a client connection request may delayed by the network layer
3053 and not be sent until after the PTLRPC layer has timed out the
3054 request. If the client fails the mount immediately it will try
3055 to clean up before the network times out the request. Add a
3056 reference from the request import to the obd device and delay
3057 the cleanup until the network drops the request.
3060 Frequency : occasionally during client (re)connect
3062 Description: assertion failure during client (re)connect
3063 Details : processing a client connection request may be delayed by the
3064 client or server longer than the client connect timeout. This
3065 causes the client to resend the connection request. If the
3066 original connection request is replied in this interval, the
3067 client may trip an assertion failure in ptlrpc_connect_interpret()
3068 which thought it would be the only running connect process.
3071 Frequency : only with obd_echo servers and clients that are rebooted
3073 Description: kernel BUG accessing uninitialized data structure
3074 Details : When running an obd_echo server it did not start the ping_evictor
3075 thread, and when a client was evicted an uninitialized data
3076 structure was accessed. Start the ping_evictor in the RPC
3077 service startup instead of the OBD startup.
3079 Severity : enhancement
3080 Bugzilla : 10193 (patchless)
3081 Description: Remove dependency on various unexported kernel interfaces.
3082 Details : No longer need reparent_to_init, exit_mm, exit_files,
3083 sock_getsockopt, filemap_populate, FMODE_EXEC, put_filp.
3086 Frequency : rare (only users of deprecated and unsupported LDAP config)
3088 Description: write_conf for zeroconf mount queried LDAP incorrectly for client
3089 Details : LDAP apparently contains 'lustreName' attributes instead of
3090 'name'. A simple remapping of the name is sufficient.
3093 Frequency : rare (only with non-default dump_on_timeout debug enabled)
3095 Description: waiting_locks_callback trips kernel BUG if client is evicted
3096 Details : Running with the dump_on_timeout debug flag turned on makes
3097 it possible that the waiting_locks_callback() can try to dump
3098 the Lustre kernel debug logs from an interrupt handler. Defer
3099 this log dumping to the expired_lock_main() thread.
3101 Severity : enhancement
3103 Description: Support NFS exporting on 2.6 kernels.
3104 Details : Implement non-rawops metadata methods for NFS server to use without
3105 changing NFS server code.
3108 Frequency : very rare (synthetic metadata workload only)
3110 Description: two racing renames might cause an MDS thread to deadlock
3111 Details : Running the "racer" program may cause one MDS thread to rename
3112 a file from being the source of a rename to being the target of
3113 a rename at exactly the same time that another thread is doing
3114 so, and the second thread has already enqueued these locks after
3115 doing a lookup of the target and is trying to relock them in
3116 order. Ensure that we don't try to re-lock the same resource.
3119 Frequency : only very large systems with liblustre clients
3121 Description: slow eviction of liblustre clients with the "evict_by_nid" RPC
3122 Details : Use asynchronous set_info RPCs to send the "evict_by_nid" to
3123 all OSTs in parallel. This allows the eviction of stale liblustre
3124 clients to proceed much faster than if they were done in series,
3125 and also offers similar improvements for other set_info RPCs.
3130 Description: excessive CPU usage during initial read phase on client
3131 Details : During the initial read phase on a client, it would agressively
3132 retry readahead on the file, consuming too much CPU and impacting
3133 performance (since 1.4.5.8). Improve the readahead algorithm
3134 to avoid this, and also improve some other common cases (read
3135 of small files in particular, where "small" is files smaller than
3136 /proc/fs/lustre/llite/*/max_read_ahead_whole_mb, 2MB by default).
3141 Description: MDS crash when receiving packet with unknown intent.
3142 Details : Do not LBUG in unknown intent case, just return -EFAULT
3144 Severity : enhancement
3145 Bugzilla : 9293, 9385
3146 Description: MDS RPCs are serialised on client. This is unnecessary for some.
3147 Details : Do not serialize getattr (non-intent version) and statfs.
3150 Frequency : occasional, when OST network is overloaded/intermittent
3152 Description: client evicted by OST after bulk IO timeout
3153 Details : If a client sends a bulk IO request (read or write) the OST
3154 may evict the client if it is unresposive to its data GET/PUT
3155 request. This is incorrect if the network is overloaded (takes
3156 too long to transfer the RPC data) or dropped the OST GET/PUT
3157 request. There is no need to evict the client at all, since
3158 the pinger and/or lock callbacks will handle this, and the
3159 client can restart the bulk request.
3162 Frequency : Always when mmapping file with no objects
3164 Description: client crashes when mmapping file with no objects
3165 Details : Check that we actually have objects in a file before doing any
3166 operations on objects in ll_vm_open, ll_vm_close and
3172 Description: Request leak when working with deleted CWD
3173 Details : Introduce advanced request refcount tracking for requests
3174 referenced from lustre intent.
3176 Severity : Enhancement
3178 Description: Cache open file handles on client.
3179 Details : MDS now will return special lock along with openhandle, if
3180 requested and client is allowed to hold openhandle, even if unused,
3181 until such a lock is revoked. Helps NFS a lot, since NFS is opening
3182 closing files for every read/write openration.
3184 Severity : Enhancement
3186 Description: Cache open negative dentries on client when possible.
3187 Details : Guard negative dentries with UPDATE lock on parent dir, drop
3188 negative dentries on lock revocation.
3193 Description: Remounting a client read-only wasn't possible with a zconf mount
3194 Details : It wasn't possible to remount a client read-only with llmount.
3196 Severity : enhancement
3197 Description: Include MPICH 1.2.6 Lustre ADIO interface patch
3198 Details : In lustre/contrib/ or /usr/share/lustre in RPM a patch for
3199 MPICH is included to add Lustre-specific ADIO interfaces.
3200 This is based closely on the UFS ADIO layer and only differs
3201 in file creation, in order to allow the OST striping to be set.
3202 This is user-contributed code and not supported by CFS.
3207 Description: extended inode attributes (immutable, append-only) work improperly
3208 when 2.4 and 2.6 kernels are used on client/server or vice versa
3209 Details : Introduce kernel-independent values for these flags.
3211 Severity : enhancement
3214 Description: Allow fractional MB tunings for lustre in /proc/ filesystem.
3215 Details : Many of the /proc/ tunables can only be tuned at a megabyte
3216 granularity. Now, Fractional MB granularity is be supported,
3217 this is very useful for low memory system.
3219 Severity : enhancement
3221 Description: Getattr by fid
3222 Details : Getting a file attributes by its fid, obtaining UPDATE|LOOKUP
3223 locks, avoids extra getattr rpc requests to MDS, allows '/' to
3224 have locks and avoids getattr rpc requests for it on every stat.
3227 Frequency : Always, for filesystems larger than 2TB
3229 Description: ldiskfs crash at mount for filesystem larger than 2TB with mballoc
3230 Details : Kenrel kmalloc limits allocations to 128kB and this prevents
3231 filesystems larger than 2TB to be mounted with mballoc enabled.
3234 Frequency : Always, for 32-bit kernel without CONFIG_LBD and filesystem > 2TB
3236 Description: ldiskfs crash at mount for filesystem larger than 2TB with mballoc
3237 Details : If a 32-bit kernel is compiled without CONFIG_LBD enabled and a
3238 filesystems larger than 2TB is mounted then the kernel will
3239 silently corrupt the start of the filesystem. CONFIG_LBD is
3240 enabled for all CFS-supported kernels, but the possibility of
3241 this happening with a modified kernel config exists.
3243 Severity : enhancement
3245 Description: add client O_DIRECT support for 2.6 kernels
3246 Details : It is now possible to do O_DIRECT reads and writes to files
3247 in the Lustre client mountpoint on 2.6 kernel clients.
3249 Severity : enhancement
3251 Description: parallel glimpse, setattr, statfs, punch, destroy requests
3252 Details : Sends glimpse, setattr, statfs, punch, destroy requests to OSTs in
3253 parallel, not waiting for response from every OST before sending
3254 a rpc to the next OST.
3259 Description: setattr vs write race when updating file timestamps
3260 Details : Client processes that update a file timestamp into the past
3261 right after writing to the file (e.g. tar) it is possible that
3262 the updated file modification time can be reset to the current
3263 time due to a race between processing the setattr and write RPC.
3265 Severity : enhancement
3267 Description: Bring 'lfs find' closer in line with regular Linux find.
3268 Details : lfs find util supports -atime, -mtime, -ctime, -maxdepth, -print,
3269 -print0 options and obtains all the needed info through the lustre
3272 Severity : enhancement
3274 Description: support up to 1024 configured devices on one node
3275 Details : change obd_dev array from statically allocated to dynamically
3276 allocated structs as they are first used to reduce memory usage
3281 Description: Flush dirty partially truncated pages during truncate
3282 Details : Immediatelly flush partially truncated pages in filter_setattr,
3283 this way we completely avoid having any pages in page cache on OST
3284 and can retire ugly workarounds during writes to flush such pages.
3289 Description: i_sem vs transaction deadlock in mds_obd_destroy during unlink.
3290 Details : protect inode from truncation within vfs_unlink() context
3291 just take a reference before calling vfs_unlink() and release it
3292 when parent's i_sem is free.
3297 Description: last_id value checked outside lock on OST caused LASSERT failure
3298 Details : If there were multiple MDS->OST object precreate requests in
3299 flight, it was possible that the OST's last object id was checked
3300 outside a lock and incorrectly tripped an assertion. Move checks
3301 inside locks, and discard old precreate requests.
3304 Frequency : always, if extents are used on OSTs
3306 Description: index ei_leaf_hi (48-bit extension) is not zeroed in extent index
3307 Details : OSTs using the extents format would not zero the high 16 bits of
3308 the index physical block number. This is not a problem for any
3309 OST filesystems smaller than 16TB, and no kernels support ext3
3310 filesystems larger than 16TB yet. This is fixed in 1.4.7 (all
3311 new/modified files) and can be fixed for existing filesystems
3312 with e2fsprogs-1.39-cfs1.
3317 Description: import connection selection may be incorrect if timer wraps
3318 Details : Using a 32-bit jiffies timer with HZ=1000 may cause backup
3319 import connections to be ignored if the 32-bit jiffies counter
3320 wraps. Use a 64-bit jiffies counter.
3323 Frequency : very large clusters immediately after boot
3325 Description: LNET request buffers exhausted under heavy short-term load
3326 Details : If a large number of client requests are generated on a service
3327 that has previously never seen so many requests it is possible
3328 that the request buffer growth cannot keep up with the spike in
3329 demand. Instead of dropping incoming requests, they are held in
3330 the LND until the RPC service can accept more requests.
3333 Frequency : Sometimes during replay
3335 Description: Assertion failure in ll_local_open after replay.
3336 Details : If replay happened on an open request reply before we were able
3337 to set replay handler, reply will become not swabbed tripping the
3338 assertion in ll_local_open. Now we set the handler right after
3339 recognising of open request
3342 Frequency : very rare
3344 Description: kernel reports "badness in vsnprintf"
3345 Details : Reading from the "recovery_status" /proc file in small chunks
3346 may cause a negative length in lprocfs_obd_rd_recovery_status()
3347 call to vsnprintf() (which is otherwise harmless). Exit early
3348 if there is no more space in the output buffer.
3350 Severity : enhancement
3352 Description: clear OBD RPC statistics by writing to them
3353 Details : It is now possible to clear the OBD RPC statistics by writing
3354 to the "stats" file.
3359 Description: Client mtime is not the same on different clients after utimes
3360 Details : In some cases, the client was using the utimes() syscall on
3361 a file cached on another node. The clients now validate the
3362 ctime from the MDS + OSTs to determine which one is right.
3367 Description: Inability to activate failout mode
3368 Details : lconf script incorrectly assumed that in pythong string's numeric
3369 value is used in comparisons.
3372 Frequency : always with multiple stripes per file
3374 Description: Inefficient object allocation for mutli-stripe files
3375 Details : When selecting which OSTs to stripe files over, for files with
3376 a stripe count that divides evenly into the number of OSTs,
3377 the MDS is always picking the same starting OST for each file.
3378 Return the OST selection heuristic to the original design.
3383 Description: mount failures may take full timeout to return an error
3384 Details : Under some heavy load conditions it is possible that a
3385 failed mount can wait for the full obd_timeout interval,
3386 possibly several minutes, before reporting an error.
3387 Instead return an error as soon as the status is known.
3389 Frequency : quota enabled and large files being deleted
3391 Description: releasing more than 4GB of quota at once hangs OST
3392 Details : If a user deletes more than 4GB of files on a single OST it
3393 will cause the OST to spin in an infinite loop. Release
3394 quota in < 4GB chunks, or use a 64-bit value for 1.4.7.1+.
3399 Description: statfs data retrieved from /proc may be stale or zero
3400 Details : When reading per-device statfs data from /proc, in the
3401 {kbytes,files}_{total,free,avail} files, it may appear
3402 as zero or be out of date.
3405 Frequency : systems with MD RAID1 external journal devices
3407 Description: lconf's call to blkid is confused by RAID1 journal devices
3408 Details : Use the "blkid -l" flag to locate the MD RAID device instead
3409 of returning all block devices that match the journal UUID.
3412 Frequency : always, for aggregate stripe size over 4GB
3414 Description: assertion fails when trying to use 4GB stripe size
3415 Details : Use "setstripe" to set stripe size over 4GB will fail the kernel,
3416 complaining "ASSERTION(lsm->lsm_xfersize != 0)"
3419 Frequency : always on ppc64
3421 Description: the first write on an ext3 filesystem with mballoc got stuck
3422 Details : ext3_mb_generate_buddy() uses find_next_bit() which does not
3423 perform endianness conversion.

3427 02-14-2006 Cluster File Systems, Inc. <info@clusterfs.com>
3429 * WIRE PROTOCOL CHANGE. This version of Lustre networking WILL NOT
3430 INTEROPERATE with older versions automatically. Please read the
3431 user documentation before upgrading any part of a live system.
3432 * WARNING: Lustre networking configuration changes are required with
3433 this release. See https://bugzilla.clusterfs.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10052
3436 * Support for kernels:
3437 2.6.9-22.0.2.EL (RHEL 4)
3438 2.6.5-7.244 (SLES 9)
3439 2.6.12.6 vanilla (kernel.org)
3442 Severity : enhancement
3443 Bugzilla : 7981/8208
3444 Description: Introduced Lustre Networking (LNET)
3445 Details : LNET is new networking infrastructure for Lustre, it includes
3446 a reorganized network configuration mode (see the user
3447 documentation for full details) as well as support for routing
3448 between different network fabrics. Lustre Networking Devices
3449 (LNDs) for the supported network fabrics have also been
3450 created for this new infrastructure.
3452 Severity : enhancement
3453 Description: Introduced Access control lists
3454 Details : clients can set ACLs on files and directories in order to have
3455 more fine-grained permissions than the standard Unix UGO+RWX.
3456 The MDS must be started with the "-o acl" mount option.
3458 Severity : enhancement
3459 Description: Introduced filesystem quotas
3460 Details : Administrators may now establish per-user quotas on the
3463 Severity : enhancement
3465 Description: Configuration change for the XT3
3466 The PTLLND is now used to run Lustre over Portals on the XT3
3467 The configure option(s) --with-cray-portals are no longer used.
3468 Rather --with-portals=<path-to-portals-includes> is used to
3469 enable building on the XT3. In addition to enable XT3 specific
3470 features the option --enable-cray-xt3 must be used.
3475 Description: Running on many-way SMP OSTs can trigger oops in llcd_send()
3476 Details : A race between allocating a new llcd and re-getting the llcd_lock
3477 allowed another thread to grab newly-allocated llcd.
3479 Severity : enhancement
3481 Description: 2.6 OST async journal commit and locking fix to improve performance
3482 Details : The filter_direct_io()+filter_commitrw_write() journal commits for
3483 2.6 kernels are now async as they already were in 2.4 kernels so
3484 that they can commit concurrently with the network bulk transfer.
3485 For block-allocated files the filter allocation semaphore is held
3486 to avoid filesystem fragmentation during allocation. BKL lock
3487 removed for 2.6 xattr operations where it is no longer needed.
3492 Description: lconf incorrectly determined whether two IP networks could talk
3493 Details : In some more complicated routing and multiple-network
3494 configurations, lconf will avoid trying to make a network
3495 connection to a disjoint part of the IP space. It was doing the
3496 math incorrectly for one set of cases.
3501 Description: Fix for potential infinite loop processing records in an llog.
3502 Details : If an llog record is corrupted/zeroed, it is possible to loop
3503 forever in llog_process(). Validate the llog record length
3504 and skip the remainder of the block on error.
3507 Frequency : occasional (liblustre only)
3509 Description: liblustre could not open files whose last component is a symlink
3510 Details : sysio_path_walk() would incorrectly pass the open intent to
3511 intermediate path components.
3514 Frequency : rare (liblustre only with non-standard tuning)
3515 Bugzilla : 7201 (7350)
3516 Description: Tuning the MDC DLM LRU size to zero triggers client LASSERT
3517 Details : llu_lookup_finish_locks() tries to set lock data on a lock
3518 after it has been released, only do this for referenced locks
3520 Severity : enhancement
3522 Description: specifying an (invalid) directory default stripe_size of -1
3523 would reset the directory default striping
3524 Details : stripe_size -1 was used internally to signal directory stripe
3525 removal, now use "all default" to signal dir stripe removal
3526 as a directory striping of "all default" is not useful
3529 Frequency : common for large clusters running liblustre clients
3531 Description: doing an ls when liblustre clients are running is slow
3532 Details : sending a glimpse AST to a liblustre client waits for every AST
3533 to time out, as liblustre clients will not respond. Since they
3534 cannot cache data we refresh the OST lock LVB from disk instead.
3536 Severity : enhancement
3538 Description: doing an ls at the same time as file IO can be slow
3539 Details : enqueue and other "small" requests can be blocked behind many
3540 large IO requests. Create a new OST IO portal for non-IO
3541 requests so they can be processed faster.
3544 Frequency : rare (only HPUX clients mounting unsupported re-exported NFS vol)
3546 Description: an HPUX NFS client would get -EACCESS when ftruncate()ing a newly
3547 created file with mode 000
3548 Details : the Linux NFS server relies on an MDS_OPEN_OWNEROVERRIDE hack to
3549 allow an ftruncate() as a non-root user to a file with mode 000.
3550 Lustre now respects this flag to disable mode checks when
3551 truncating a file owned by the user
3554 Frequency : liblustre-only, when liblustre client dies unexpectedly or becomes
3557 Description: Revoking locks from clients that went dead or catatonic might take
3559 Details : New lock flags FL_CANCEL_ON_BLOCK used by liblustre makes
3560 cancellation of such locks instant on servers without waiting for
3561 any reply from clients. Clients drops these locks when cancel
3562 notification from server is received without replying.
3565 Frequency : liblustre-only, when liblustre client dies or becomes busy
3567 Description: Doing ls on Linux clients can take a long time with active
3569 Details : Liblustre client cannot handle ASTs in timely manner, so avoid
3570 granting such locks to it in the first place if possible. Locks
3571 are taken by proxy on the OST during the read or write and
3572 dropped immediately afterward. Add connect flags handling, do
3573 not grant locks to liblustre clients for glimpse ASTs.
3575 Severity : enhancement
3577 Description: Improve read-ahead algorithm to avoid excessive IO for random reads
3578 Details : Existing read-ahead algorithm is tuned for the case of streamlined
3579 sequential reads and behaves badly with applications doing random
3580 reads. Improve it by reading ahead at least read region, and
3581 avoiding excessive large RPC for small reads.
3583 Severity : enhancement
3585 Description: Creating more than 1000 files for a single job may cause a load
3586 imbalance on the OSTs if there are also a large number of OSTs.
3587 Details : qos_prep_create() uses an OST index reseed value that is an
3588 even multiple of the number of available OSTs so that if the
3589 reseed happens in the middle of the object allocation it will
3590 still utilize the OSTs as uniformly as possible.
3595 Description: OST or MDS may oops in ping_evictor_main()
3596 Details : ping_evictor_main() drops obd_dev_lock if deleting a stale export
3597 but doesn't restart at beginning of obd_exports_timed list
3600 Severity : enhancement
3602 Description: improve by-nid export eviction on the MDS and OST
3603 Details : allow multiple exports with the same NID to be evicted at one
3604 time without re-searching the exports list.
3607 Frequency : rare, only with supplementary groups enabled on SMP 2.6 kernels
3609 Description: MDS may oops in groups_free()
3610 Details : in rare race conditions a newly allocated group_info struct is
3611 freed again, and this can be NULL. The 2.4 compatibility code
3612 for groups_free() checked for a NULL pointer, but 2.6 did not.
3615 Frequency : common for liblustre clients doing little filesystem IO
3616 Bugzilla : 9352, 7313
3617 Description: server may evict liblustre clients accessing contended locks
3618 Details : if a client is granted a lock or receives a completion AST
3619 with a blocking AST already set it would not reply to the AST
3620 for LDLM_FL_CANCEL_ON_BLOCK locks. It now replies to such ASTs.
3623 Frequency : lfs setstripe, only systems with more than 160 OSTs
3625 Description: unable to set striping with a starting offset beyond OST 160
3626 Details : llapi_create_file() incorrectly limited the starting stripe
3627 index to the maximum single-file stripe count.
3630 Frequency : LDAP users only
3632 Description: lconf did not handle in-kernel recovery with LDAP properly
3633 Details : lconf/LustreDB get_refs() is searching the wrong namespace
3635 Severity : enhancement
3637 Description: bind OST threads to NUMA nodes to improve performance
3638 Details : all OST threads are uniformly bound to CPUs on a single NUMA
3639 node and do their allocations there to localize memory access
3641 Severity : enhancement
3643 Description: llmount can determine client NID directly from Myrinet (GM)
3644 Details : the client NID code from gmnalnid was moved directly into

3651 Description: if client is started with down MDS mount hangs in ptlrpc_queue_wait
3652 Details : Having an LWI_INTR() wait event (interruptible, but no timeout)
3653 will wait indefinitely in ptlrpc_queue_wait->l_wait_event() after
3654 ptlrpc_import_delayed_req() because we didn't check if the
3655 request was interrupted, and we also didn't break out of the
3656 event loop if there was no timeout
3661 Description: data loss during non-page-aligned writes to a single file from
3662 both multiple nodes and multiple threads on one node at same time
3663 Details : updates to KMS and lsm weren't protected by common lock. Resulting
3664 inconsistency led to false short-reads, that were cached and later
3665 used by ->prepare_write() to fill in partially written page,
3666 leading to data loss.

3684 Description: add support for EAs (user and system) on lustre filesystems
3685 Details : it is now possible to store extended attributes in the Lustre
3686 client filesystem, and with the user_xattr mount option it
3687 is possible to allow users to store EAs on their files also
3689 Severity : enhancement
3691 Description: Add possibility (config option) to show minimal available OST free
3693 Details : When compiled with --enable-mindf configure option, statfs(2)
3694 (and so, df) will return least minimal free space available from
3695 all OSTs as amount of free space on FS, instead of summary of
3696 free spaces of all OSTs.
3698 Severity : enhancement
3700 Description: do not expand extent locks acquired on OST-side
3701 Details : Modify ldlm_extent_policy() to not expand local locks, acquired
3702 by server: they are not cached anyway.
3705 Frequency : when mmap is used/binaries executed from Lustre
3707 Description: Unmmap pages before throwing them away from read cache.
3708 Details : llap_shrink cache now attempts to unmap pages before discarding
3709 them (if unmapping failed - do not discard). SLES9 kernel has
3710 extra checks that trigger if this unmapping is not done first.
3715 Description: lconf didn't resolve symlinks before checking to see whether a
3716 given mountpoint was already in use
3719 Frequency : when migrating failover services
3720 Bugzilla : 6395, 9514
3721 Description: When migrating a subset of services from a node (e.g. failback
3722 from a failover service node) the remaining services would
3723 time out and evict clients.
3724 Details : lconf --force (implied by --failover) sets the global obd_timeout
3725 to 5 seconds in order to quickly disconnect, but this caused
3726 other RPCs to time out too quickly. Do not change the global
3727 obd_timeout for force cleanup, only set it for DISCONNECT RPCs.

3731 Bugzilla : 9439,5706
3732 Description: Allow startup/shutdown of an MDS without depending on the
3733 availability of the OSTs.
3734 Details : Asynchronously call mds_lov_synchronize during MDS startup.
3735 Add appropriate locking and lov-osc refcounts for safe
3736 cleaning. Add osc abort_inflight calls in case the
3737 synchronize never started.
3740 Frequency : occasional (Cray XT3 only)
3742 Description: root not authorized to access files in CRAY_PORTALS environment
3743 Details : The client process capabilities were not honoured on the MDS in
3744 a CRAY_PORTALS/CRAY_XT3 environment. If the file had previously
3745 been accessed by an authorized user then root was able to access
3746 the file on the local client also. The root user capabilities
3747 are now allowed on the MDS, as this environment has secure UID.
3750 Frequency : occasional
3752 Description: ldiskfs "too long searching" message happens too often
3753 Details : A debugging message (otherwise harmless) prints too often on
3754 the OST console. This has been reduced to only happen when
3755 there are fragmentation problems on the filesystem.
3760 Description: Division by zero in statfs when all OSCs are inactive
3761 Details : lov_get_stripecnt() returns zero due to incorrect order of checks,
3762 lov_statfs divides by value returned by lov_get_stripecnt().
3766 Bugzilla : 9489, 3273
3767 Description: First write from each client to each OST was only 4kB in size,
3768 to initialize client writeback cache, which caused sub-optimal
3769 RPCs and poor layout on disk for the first writen file.
3770 Details : Clients now request an initial cache grant at (re)connect time
3771 and so that they can start streaming writes to the cache right
3772 away and always do full-sized RPCs if there is enough data.
3773 If the OST is rebooted the client also re-establishes its grant
3774 so that client cached writes will be honoured under the grant.
3779 Description: Slow ls (and stat(2) syscall) on files residing on IO-loaded OSTs
3780 Details : Now I/O RPCs go to different portal number and (presumably) fast
3781 lock requests (and glimses) and other RPCs get their own service
3782 threads pool that should be able to service those RPCs

3798 Description: Two simultaneous writes from liblustre at offset within same page
3799 might proceed at the same time overwriting eachother with stale
3801 Details : I/O lock withing llu_file_prwv was released too early, before data
3802 actually was hitting the wire. Extended lock-holding time until
3803 server acknowledges receiving data.
3806 Frequency : extremely rare. Never observed in practice.
3808 Description: avoid generating lustre_handle cookie of 0.
3809 Details : class_handle_hash() generates handle cookies by incrementing
3810 global counter, and can hit 0 occasionaly (this is unlikely, but
3811 not impossible, because initial value of cookie counter is
3812 selected randonly). Value of 0 is used as a sentinel meaning
3813 "unassigned handle" --- avoid it. Also coalesce two critical
3814 sections in this function into one.
3816 Severity : enhancement
3818 Description: allow liblustre clients to delegate truncate locking to OST
3819 Details : To avoid overhead of locking, liblustre client instructs OST to
3820 take extent lock in ost_punch() on client's behalf. New connection
3821 flag is added to handle backward compatibility.

3828 OSS's /etc/modules.conf or /etc/modprobe.conf.
3832 Bugzilla : 6146, 9635, 9895
3833 Description: servers crash with bad pointer in target_handle_connect()
3834 Details : In rare cases when a client is reconnecting it was possible that
3835 the connection request was the last reference for that export.
3836 We would temporarily drop the export reference and get a new
3837 one, but this may have been the last reference and the export
3838 was just destroyed. Get new reference before dropping old one.

3850 Description: Stop sending data to evicted clients as soon as possible.
3851 Details : Check if the client we are about to send or are sending data to
3852 was evicted already. (Check is done every second of waiting,
3853 for which l_wait_event interface was extended to allow checking
3854 of exit condition at specified intervals).
3857 Frequency : rare, normally only when NFS exporting is done from client
3859 Description: 'bad disk LOV MAGIC: 0x00000000' error when chown'ing files
3861 Details : Make mds_get_md() recognise empty md case and set lmm size to 0.

3875 logs stored on the MDS and report an error if this is the case.
3876 Request --write-conf, or allow starting with --old_conf.
3878 Severity : enhancement
3880 Description: Handle symlinks in the path when checking if Lustre is mounted.
3881 Details : Resolve intermediate symlinks when checking if a client has
3882 mounted a filesystem to avoid duplicate client mounts.
3887 Description: lconf can hit an error exception but still return success.
3888 Details : The lconf command catches the Command error exception at the top
3889 level script context and will exit with the associated exit
3890 status, but doesn't ensure that this exit status is non-zero.
3895 Description: failure of ptlrpc thread startup can cause oops
3896 Details : Starting a ptlrpc service thread can fail if there are a large
3897 number of threads or the server memory is very fragmented.
3898 Handle this without oopsing.
3901 Frequency : always, only if liblustre and non-default acceptor port was used
3903 Description: liblustre cannot connect to servers with non-default acceptor port
3904 Details : tcpnal_set_default_params() was not called and was therefore
3905 ignoring the environment varaible TCPNAL_PORT, as well as other
3906 TCPNAL_ environment variables
3911 Description: two objects could be created on the same OST for a single file
3912 Details : If an OST is down, in some cases it was possible to create two
3913 objects on a single OST for a single file. No problems other
3914 than potential performance impact and spurious error messages.
3918 Bugzilla : 5681, 9562

3928 Details : link_raw functions used to call d_instantiate without obtaining
3929 extra inode reference first.
3933 Bugzilla : 9942, 9903
3934 Description: Referencing freed requests leading to crash, memleaks with NFS.
3935 Details : We used to require that call to ll_revalidate_it was always
3936 followed by ll_lookup_it. Also with revalidate_special() it is
3937 possible to call ll_revalidate_it() twice for the same dentry
3938 even if first occurence returned success. This fix changes semantic
3939 between DISP_ENQ_COMPLETE disposition flag to mean there is extra
3940 reference on a request referred from the intent.
3941 ll_intent_release() then releases such a request.
3944 Frequency : rare, normally benchmark loads only
3946 Description: unlinked inodes were kept in memory on the client
3947 Details : If a client is repeatedly creating and unlinking files it
3948 can accumulate a lot of stale inodes in the inode slab cache.
3949 If there is no other client load running this can cause the
3950 client node to run out of memory. Instead flush old inodes
3951 from client cache that have the same inode number as a new inode.

3963 Bugzilla : 4180, 6984, 7171, 9963, 9331
3964 Description: OST becomes very slow and/or deadlocked during object unlink
3965 Details : filter_destroy() was holding onto the parent directory lock
3966 while truncating+unlinking objects. For very large objects this
3967 may block other threads for a long time and slow overall OST
3968 responsiveness. It may also be possible to get a lock ordering
3969 deadlock in this case, or run out of journal credits because of
3970 the combined truncate+unlink. Solution is to do object truncate
3971 first in one transaction without parent lock, and then do the
3972 final unlink in a new transaction with the parent lock. This
3973 reduces the lock hold time dramatically.
3976 Frequency : rare, 2.4 kernels only
3978 Description: MDS or OST cleanup may trip kernel BUG when dropping kernel lock
3979 Details : mds_cleanup() and filter_cleanup() need to drop the kernel lock
3980 before unmounting their filesystem in order to avoid deadlock.
3981 The kernel_locked() function in 2.4 kernels only checks whether
3982 the kernel lock is held, not whether it is this process that is
3983 holding it as 2.6 kernels do.
3988 Description: MDS or OST may oops/LBUG if a client is connecting multiple times
3989 Details : The client ptlrpc code may be trying to reconnect to a down
3990 server before a previous connection attempt has timed out.
3991 Increase the reconnect interval to be longer than the connection
3992 timeout interval to avoid sending duplicate connections to
3996 Frequency : echo_client brw_test command
3998 Description: fix echo_client to work with OST preallocated code
3999 Details : OST preallocation code (5137) didn't take echo_client IO path
4000 into account: echo_client calls filter methods outside of any
4001 OST thread and, hence, there is no per-thread preallocated
4002 pages and buffers to use. Solution: hijack pga pages for IO. As
4003 a byproduct, this avoids unnecessary data copying.
4007 Bugzilla : 3555, 5962, 6025, 6155, 6296, 9574
4008 Description: Client can oops in mdc_commit_close() after open replay
4009 Details : It was possible for the MDS to return an open request with no
4010 transaction number in mds_finish_transno() if the client was
4011 evicted, but without actually returning an error. Clients
4012 would later try to replay that open and may trip an assertion
4013 Simplify the client close codepath, and always return an error
4014 from the MDS in case the open is not successful.
4017 Frequency : rare, 2.6 OSTs only
4019 Description: OST may deadlock under high load on fragmented files
4020 Details : If there was a heavy load and highly-fragmented OST filesystems
4021 it was possible to have all the OST threads deadlock waiting on
4022 allocation of biovecs, because the biovecs were not released
4023 until the entire RPC IO was completed. Instead, release biovecs
4024 as soon as they are complete to ensure forward IO progress.
4026 Severity : enhancement
4028 Description: Support for specifying external journal device at mount
4029 Details : If an OST or MDS device is formatted with an external journal
4030 device, this device major/minor is stored in the ext3 superblock
4031 and may not be valid for failover. Allow detecting and
4032 specifying the external journal at mount time.
4037 Description: Mounting an MDS with pending unlinked files may cause oops
4038 Details : target_finish_recovery() calls mds_postrecov() which returned
4039 the number of orphans unlinked. mds_lov_connect->mds_postsetup()
4040 considers this an error and immediately begins cleaning up the
4041 lov, just after starting the mds_lov process

4059 Description: Mounting an ldiskfs file system with mballoc may crash OST node.
4060 Details : ldiskfs mballoc code may reference an uninitialized buddy struct
4061 at startup during orphan unlinking. Instead, skip buddy update
4062 before setup, as it will be regenerated after recovery is complete.
4067 Description: If an OST is inactive, its locks might reference stale inodes.
4068 Details : lov_change_cbdata() must iterate over all namespaces, even if
4069 they are inactive to clear inode references from the lock.
4071 Severity : enhancement
4072 Frequency : occasional, if non-standard max_dirty_mb used
4074 Description: Client will block write RPCs if not enough grant
4075 Details : If a client has max_dirty_mb smaller than max_rpcs_in_flight,
4076 then the client will block writes while waiting for another RPC
4077 to complete instead of consuming its dirty limit. With change
4078 we get improved performance when max_dirty_mb is small.

4083 Details : The MDS has an upcall /proc/fs/lustre/mds/{mds}/group_upcall
4084 (set to /usr/sbin/l_getgroups if enabled) which will do MDS-side
4085 lookups for user supplementary groups into a cache.

4109 Details : By echoing "nid:$NID" string into
4110 /proc/fs/lustre/mds/.../evict_client client with nid that equals to
4111 $NID would be instantly evicted from this MDS and from all active
4112 OSTs connected to it.

4124 of the parent thread, making that filesystem busy. Threads
4125 now change to the working directory of init to avoid this.

4169 Details : OSTs now preallocates memory needed to write out data at
4170 startup, instead of when needed, to avoid having to
4171 allocate memory in possibly low memory situations.
4172 Specifically, if the file system is mounted on on OST,
4173 memory pressure could force it to try to write out data,
4174 which it needed to allocate memory to do. Due to the low
4175 memory, it would be unable to do so and the node would
4176 become unresponsive.

4193 Details : Additional detailed health check information on MSD and OSTs
4194 is now provided through the procfs health_check value.
4197 Frequency : occasional, depends on IO load
4199 Description: Disk fragmentation on the OSTs could eventually cause slowdowns
4200 after numerous create/delete cycles
4201 Details : The ext3 inode allocation policy would not allocate new inodes
4202 very well on the OSTs because there are no new directories
4203 being created. Instead we look for groups with free space if
4204 the parent directories are nearly full.
4209 Description: Network or server problems during mount may cause partially
4210 mounted clients instead of returning an error.
4211 Details : The config llog parsing code may overwrite the error return
4212 code during mount error handling, returning success instead
4218 Description: MDS can fail to allocate large reply buffers
4219 Details : After long uptimes the MDS can fail to allocate large reply
4220 buffers (e.g. zconf client mount config records) due to memory
4221 fragmentation or consumption by the buffer cache. Preallocate
4222 some large reply buffers so that these replies can be sent even
4223 under memory pressure.
4227 Frequency : rare (liblustre)
4228 Description: fsx running with liblustre complained that using truncate() to
4229 extend the file doesn't work. This patch corrects that issue.
4230 Details : This is the liblustre equivalent of the fix for bug 6196. Fixes
4231 ATTR_SIZE and lsm use in llu_setattr_raw.
4235 Frequency : rare, only 2.6 kernels
4236 Description: Unusual file access patterns on the MDS may result in inode
4237 data being lost in very rare circumstances.
4238 Details : Bad interaction between the ea-in-inode patch and the "no-read"
4239 code in the 2.6 kernel caused the inode and/or EA data not to
4240 be read from disk, causing single-file corruption.
4244 Frequency : rare, only 2.6 filesystems using extents
4245 Description: Heavy concurrent write and delete load may cause data corruption.
4246 Details : It was possible under high-load situations to have an extent
4247 metadata block in the block device cache from a just-unlinked
4248 file overwrite a newly-allocated data block. We now unmap any
4249 metadata buffers that alias just-allocated data blocks.
4253 Frequency : filesystems with default stripe_count larger than 77
4254 Description: lconf+mke2fs fail when formatting filesystem with > 77 stripes
4255 Details : lconf specifies an inode size of 4096 bytes when the default
4256 stripe_count is larger than 77. This conflicts with the default
4257 inode density of 1 per 4096 bytes. Allocate smaller inodes in
4258 this case to avoid pinning too much memory for large EAs.

4292 but never opened returned no data
4293 Details : ll_file_read() reads zeros from no-object files to EOF
4298 Description: A bug in MDS/OSS recovery could cause the OSS to fail an assertion
4299 Details : There's little harm in aborting MDS/OSS recovery and letting it
4300 try again, so I removed the LASSERT and return an error instead.
4302 Severity : enhancement
4304 Description: New debugging infrastructure for tracking down data corruption
4305 Details : The I/O checksum code was replaced to: (a) control it at runtime,
4306 (b) cover more of the client-side code path, and (c) try to narrow
4307 down where problems occurred
4311 Bugzilla : 3819, 4364, 4397, 6313
4312 Description: Racing close and eviction MDS could cause assertion in mds_close
4313 Details : It was possible to get multiple mfd references during close and
4314 client eviction, leading to one thread referencing a freed mfd.
4316 Severity: : enhancement
4317 Bugzilla : 3262, 6359
4318 Description: Attempts to reconnect to servers are now more aggressive.
4319 Details : This builds on the enhanced upcall-less recovery that was added
4320 in 1.4.2. When trying to reconnect to servers, clients will
4321 now try each server in the failover group every 10 seconds. By
4322 default, clients would previously try one server every 25 seconds.
4327 Description: After recovery, certain operations trigger a failed
4328 assertion on a client.
4329 Details : Failing over an mds, using lconf -d --failover, while a
4330 client was doing a readdir() call would cause the client to
4331 LBUG after recovery completed and the readdir() was resent.
4333 Severity : enhancement
4335 Description: Default groups are now added by lconf
4336 Details : You can now run lconf --group <servicename> without having to
4337 manually add groups with lmc.
4340 Frequency : occasional
4342 Description: Nodes with an elan id of 0 trigger a failed assertion
4345 Frequency : always when accessing e.g. tty/console device nodes
4347 Description: tty and some other devices nodes cannot be used on lustre
4348 Details : file's private_data field is used by device data and lustre
4349 values in there got lost. New field was added to struct file to
4350 store fs-specific private data.
4353 Frequency : when exporting Lustre via NFS
4355 Description: NFSD failed occasionally when looking up a path component
4356 Details : NFSD is looking up ".." which was broken in ext3 directories
4357 that had grown large enough to become hashed.
4360 Frequency : Clusters with multiple interfaces not on the same subnet
4362 Description: Nodes will repeatedly try to reconnect to an interface which it
4363 cannot reach and report an error to the log.
4364 Details : Extra peer list entries will be created by lconf with some peers
4365 unreachable. lconf now validates the peer before adding it.
4368 Frequency : Only if a default stripe is set on the filesystem root.
4370 Description: Setting a default stripe on the filesystem root prevented the
4371 filesystem from being remounted.
4372 Details : The client was sending extra request flags in the root getattr
4373 request and did not allocate a reply buffer for the dir EA.
4376 Frequency : occasional, higher if lots of files are accessed by one client
4377 Bugzilla : 6159, 6097
4378 Description: Client trips assertion regarding lsm mismatch/magic
4379 Details : While revalidating inodes the VFS looks up inodes with ifind()
4380 and in rare cases can find an inode that is being freed.
4381 The ll_test_inode() code will free the lsm during ifind()
4382 when it finds an existing inode and then the VFS later attaches
4383 this free lsm to a new inode.
4387 Bugzilla : 6422, 7030
4388 Description: MDS deadlock between mkdir and client eviction
4389 Details : Creating a new file via mkdir or mknod (starting a transaction
4390 and getting the ns lock) can deadlock with client eviction
4391 (gets ns lock and trying to finish a synchronous transaction).
4394 Frequency : occasional
4395 Description: While starting a server, the fsfilt_ext3 module could not be
4397 Details : CFS's improved ext3 filesystem is named ldiskfs for 2.6
4398 kernels. Previously, lconf would still use the ext3 name
4399 when trying to load modules. Now, it will correctly use
4400 ext3 on 2.4 and ldiskfs on 2.6.
4402 Severity : enhancement
4403 Description: The default stripe count has been changed to 1
4404 Details : The interpretation of the default stripe count (0, to lfs
4405 or lmc) has been changed to mean striping across a single
4406 OST, rather than all available. For general usage we have
4407 found a stripe count of 1 or 2 works best.
4409 Severity : enhancement
4410 Description: Add support for compiling against Cray portals.
4411 Details : Conditional compiling for some areas that are different
4415 Frequency : occasional
4416 Bugzilla : 6409, 6834
4417 Description: Creating files with an explicit stripe count may lead to
4418 a failed assertion on the MDS
4419 Details : If some OSTs are full or unavailable, creating files may
4420 trigger a failed assertion on the MDS. Now, Lustre will
4421 try to use other servers or return an error to the
4425 Frequency : occasional
4427 Description: Multiple concurrent overlapping read+write on multiple SMP nodes
4428 caused lock timeout during readahead (since 1.4.2).
4429 Details : Processes doing readahead might match a lock that hasn't been
4430 granted yet if there are overlapping and conflicting lock
4431 requests. The readahead process waits on ungranted lock
4432 (original lock is CBPENDING), while OST waits for that process
4433 to cancel CBPENDING read lock and eventually evicts client.
4435 Severity : enhancement
4437 Description: Initial enabling of flock support for clients
4438 Details : Implements fcntl advisory locking and file status functions.
4439 This feature is provided as an optional mount flag (default
4440 off), and is NOT CURRENTLY SUPPORTED. Not all types of record
4441 locking are implemented yet, and those that are are not guaranteed
4442 to be completely correct in production environments.
4443 mount -t lustre -o [flock|noflock] ...
4446 Frequency : occasional
4448 Description: OSTs running 2.4 kernels but with extents enabled might trip an
4449 assertion in the ext3 JBD (journaling) layer.
4450 Details : The b_committed_data struct is protected by the big kernel lock
4451 in 2.4 kernels, serializing journal_commit_transaction() and
4452 ext3_get_block_handle->ext3_new_block->find_next_usable_block()
4453 access to this struct. In 2.6 kernels there is finer grained
4454 locking to improve SMP performance of the JBD layer.
4458 Description: Changes the "SCSI I/O Stats" kernel patch to default to "enabled"
4463 Description: merge and cleanup kernel patches.

4471 versions of Lustre. Please update all servers and clients to
4472 version 1.4.2 or later at the same time. You must also run
4473 "lconf --write-conf {config}.xml" on the MDS while it is stopped
