60 Severity : enhancement
62 Description: MountConf
63 Details : Lustre configuration is now managed via mkfs and mount
64 commands instead of lmc and lconf. New obd types (MGS, MGC)
65 are added for dynamic configuration management. See
66 https://mail.clusterfs.com/wikis/lustre/MountConf for
69 Severity : enhancement
71 Description: dynamic OST addition
72 Details : OSTs can now be added to a live filesystem
74 Severity : enhancement
76 Description: startup order invariance
77 Details : MDTs and OSTs can be started in any order. Clients only
78 require the MDT to complete startup.
80 Severity : enhancement
82 Description: parallel, asynchronous orphan cleanup
83 Details : orphan cleanup is now performed in separate threads for each
84 OST, allowing parallel non-blocking operation.
86 Severity : enhancement
88 Description: optimized stripe assignment
89 Details : stripe assignments are now made based on ost space available,
90 ost previous usage, and OSS previous usage, in order to try
91 to optimize storage space and networking resources.
93 Severity : enhancement
95 Description: Permanently set tunables
96 Details : All writable /proc/fs/lustre tunables can now be permanently
97 set on a per-server basis, at mkfs time or on a live
100 Severity : enhancement
102 Description: Lustre message v2
103 Details : Add lustre message format v2.
105 Severity : enhancement
107 Description: client OST exclusion list
108 Details : Clients can be started with a list of OSTs that should be
109 declared "inactive" for known non-responsive OSTs.
112 Frequency : SFS test only (otherwise harmless)
114 Description: SPEC SFS validation failure on NFS v2 over lustre.
115 Details : Changes the blocksize for regular files to be 2x RPC size,
116 and not depend on stripe size.
118 Severity : enhancement
120 Description: Multiple MD RPCs in flight.
121 Details : Further unserialise some read-only MDT RPCs - learn about intents.
122 To avoid overly-overloading MDT, introduce a limit on number of
123 MDT RPCs in flight for a single client and add /proc controls
124 to adjust this limit.
126 Severity : enhancement
128 Description: client read/write statistics
129 Details : Add client read/write call usage stats for performance
130 analysis of user processes.
131 /proc/fs/lustre/llite/*/offset_stats shows non-sequential
132 file access. extents_stats shows chunk size distribution.
133 extents_stats_per_process show chunk size distribution per

138 Description: per-client statistics on server
139 Details : Add ldlm and operations statistics for each client in
140 /proc/fs/lustre/mds|obdfilter/*/exports/
142 Severity : enhancement
144 Description: improved MDT statistics
145 Details : Add detailed MDT operations statistics in
146 /proc/fs/lustre/mds/*/stats
148 Severity : enhancement
150 Description: VFS operations stats
151 Details : Add client VFS call stats, trackable by pid, ppid, or gid
152 /proc/fs/lustre/llite/*/vfs_ops_stats
153 /proc/fs/lustre/llite/*/vfs_track_[pid|ppid|gid]
158 Description: Fix client-side osc byte counters
159 Details : The osc read/write byte counters in
160 /proc/fs/lustre/osc/*/stats are now working
163 Frequency : always as root on SLES
165 Description: Failure of copying files with lustre special EAs.
166 Details : Client side always return success for setxattr call for lustre
167 special xattr (currently only "trusted.lov").
172 Description: Refcount LNET uuids
173 Details : The global LNET uuid list grew linearly with every startup;
174 refcount repeated list entries instead of always adding to
177 Severity : enhancement
179 Description: Dynamic service threads
180 Details : Within a small range, start extra service threads
181 automatically when the request queue builds up.

193 Details : OSTs can be permanently deactivated with e.g. 'lctl
194 conf_param lustre-OST0001.osc.active=0'
196 Severity : enhancement
198 Description: MGS proc entries
199 Details : Added basic proc entries for the MGS showing what filesystems
202 Severity : enhancement
204 Description: provide MGS failover
205 Details : Added config lock reacquisition after MGS server failover.
207 Severity : enhancement
209 Description: add Linux 2.4 support
210 Details : Added support for RHEL 2.4.21 kernel for 1.6 servers and clients
214 Description: a large application tries to do I/O to the same resource and dies
216 Details : Check the req->rq_arrival time after the call to
217 ost_brw_lock_get(), but before we do anything about
218 processing it & sending the BULK transfer request. This
219 should help move old stale pending locks off the queue as
220 quickly as obd_timeout.
223 Frequency : when an incorrect nid is specified during startup
225 Description: ptlrpc connect to non-existant node causes kernel crash
226 Details : LNET can't be re-entered from an event callback, which
227 happened when we expire a message after the export has been
228 cleaned up. Instead, hand the zombie cleanup off to another
231 Severity : enhancement
233 Description: plain/inodebits lock performance improvement
234 Details : Grouping plain/inodebits in granted list by their request modes
235 and bits policy, thus improving the performance of search through
239 Frequency : only for kernels with patches from Lustre below 1.4.3
241 Description: Remove old rdonly API
242 Details : Remove old rdonly API which unsed from at least lustre 1.4.3
245 Frequency : only for devices with external journals
247 Description: Set external device read-only also
248 Details : During a commanded failover stop, we set the disk device
249 read-only while the server shuts down. We now also set any
250 external journal device read-only at the same time.
253 Frequency : when upgrading from 1.4 while trying to change parameters
255 Description: The wrong (new) MDC name was used when setting parameters for
256 upgraded MDT's. Also allows changing of OSC (and MDC)
257 parameters if --writeconf is specified at tunefs upgrade time.
260 Frequency : when setting specific ost indicies
262 Description: QOS code breaks on skipped indicies
263 Details : Add checks for missing OST indicies in the QOS code, so OSTs
264 created with --index need not be sequential.

268 TBD Cluster File Systems, Inc. <info@clusterfs.com>
270 * Support for kernels:
271 2.6.16.21-0.8 (SLES10)
272 2.6.9-42.0.8EL (RHEL 4)
274 2.4.21-47.0.1.EL (RHEL 3)
275 2.6.12.6 vanilla (kernel.org)
276 * Recommended e2fsprogs version: 1.39.cfs2-0
279 Frequency : liblustre (e.g. catamount) on a large cluster with >= 8 OSTs/OSS
281 Description: System hang on startup
282 Details : This bug allowed the liblustre (e.g. catamount) client to
283 return to the app before handling all startup RPCs. This
284 could leave the node unresponsive to lustre network traffic
285 and manifested as a server ptllnd timeout.
287 Severity : enhancement
289 Description: Add "/proc/sys/lustre/debug_peer_on_timeout"
290 (liblustre envirable: LIBLUSTRE_DEBUG_PEER_ON_TIMEOUT)
291 boolean to control whether to print peer debug info when a
292 client's RPC times out.
297 Description: make O_SYNC working on 2.6 kernels
298 Details : 2.6 kernels use different method for mark pages for write,
299 so need add a code to lustre for O_SYNC work.
304 Description: Failure to close file and release space on NFS
305 Details : Put inode details into lock acquired in ll_intent_file_open.
306 Use mdc_intent_lock in ll_intent_open to properly
307 detect all kind of errors unhandled by mdc_enqueue
312 Description: proc file read during shutdown sometimes raced obd removal,
314 Details : Add lock to prevent obd access after proc file removal.
317 Frequency : Only for files larger than 4GB on 32-bit clients.
319 Description: improperly doing page alignment of locks
320 Details : Modify lustre core code to use CFS_PAGE_* defines instead of
321 PAGE_*. Make CFS_PAGE_MASK a 64-bit mask.
326 Description: RPCs being resent when they shouldn't be
327 Details : Some RPCs that should not be resent are being resent. This
328 can cause inconsistencies in the RPC state machine. Do not
329 resend such requests.
332 Frequency : rare, only with NFS export
334 Description: Crash on NFS re-export node
335 Details : under very unusual load conditions an assertion is hit in
336 ll_intent_file_open()
339 Frequency : only if OST filesystem is corrupted
341 Description: client incorrectly hits assertion in ptlrpc_replay_req()
342 Details : for a short time RPCs with bulk IO are in the replay list,
343 but replay of bulk IOs is unimplemented. If the OST filesystem
344 is corrupted due to disk cache incoherency and then replay is
345 started it is possible to trip an assertion. Avoid putting
346 committed RPCs into the replay list at all to avoid this issue.
351 Description: large O_DIRECT requests fail under memory pressure/fragmentation
352 Details : Large single O_DIRECT read and write calls can fail to allocate
353 a sufficiently large buffer to process the request. In case of
354 allocation failure the allocation is retried with a smaller
355 buffer and broken into smaller requests.
360 Description: Addition of EXT3_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_DIR_NLINKS flag for
361 > 32000 subdirectories
362 Details : Add EXT3_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_DIR_NLINK flag to
363 EXT3_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_SUPP. This flag will be set whenever
364 subdirectory count crosses 32000. This will aid e2fsck to
365 correctly handle more than 32000 subdirectories.
370 Description: versioning check is incomplete
371 Details : Checking the version difference of client vs. server, report
372 error if the gap is too big.
377 Description: add support PG_writeback bit
378 Details : add support for PG_writeback bit for Lustre, for more carefull
379 work with page cache in 2.6 kernel. This also fix some deadlocks
380 and remove hack for work O_SYNC with 2.6 kernel.
382 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
384 2006-02-09 Cluster File Systems, Inc. <info@clusterfs.com>
386 * Support for kernels:
387 2.6.16.21-0.8 (SLES10)
388 2.6.9-42.0.3EL (RHEL 4)
390 2.4.21-47.0.1.EL (RHEL 3)
391 2.6.12.6 vanilla (kernel.org)
394 * The backwards-compatible /proc/sys/portals symlink has been removed
395 in this release. Before upgrading, please ensure that you change
396 any configuration scripts or /etc/sysctl.conf files that access
397 /proc/sys/portals/* or sysctl portals.* to use the corresponding
398 entry in /proc/sys/lnet or sysctl lnet.*. This change can be made
399 in advance of the upgrade on any system running Lustre 1.4.6 or
400 newer, since /proc/sys/lnet was added in that version.
401 * Note that reiserfs quotas are temporarily disabled on SLES 10 in this
405 Frequency : MDS failover only, very rarely
407 Description: "went back in time" messages on mds failover
408 Details : The greatest transno may be lost when the current operation
409 finishes with an error (transno==0) and the client's last_rcvd
410 record is over-written. Save the greatest transno in the
411 mds_last_transno for this case.
414 Frequency : always for specific kernels and striping counts
416 Description: client may get "Matching packet too big" without ACL support
417 Details : Clients compiled without CONFIG_FS_POSIX_ACL get an error message
418 when trying to access files in certain configurations. The
419 clients should in fact be denied when mounting because they do
423 Frequency : Cray XT3 with more than 4000 clients and multiple jobs
425 Description: many clients connecting with IO in progress causes connect timeouts
426 Details : Avoid synchronous journal commits to avoid delays caused by many
427 clients connecting/disconnecting when bulk IO is in progress.
428 Queue liblustre connect requests on OST_REQUEST_PORTAL instead of
429 OST_IO_PORTAL to avoid delays behind potentially many pending
433 Frequency : occasionally with multiple writers to a single file
435 Description: shared writes to file may result in wrong size reported by stat()
436 Details : Allow growing of kms when extent lock is cancelled
439 Frequency : always with random mmap IO to multi-striped file
441 Description: mmap write might be lost if we are writing to a 'hole' in stripe
442 Details : Only if the hole is at the end of OST object so that kms is too
443 small. Fix is to increase kms accordingly in ll_nopage.
446 Frequency : rare, only if OST filesystem is inconsistent with MDS filesystem
448 Description: writes to a missing object would leak memory on the OST
449 Details : If there is an inconsistency between the MDS and OST filesystems,
450 such that the MDS references an object that doesn't exist, writes
451 to that object will leak memory due to incorrect cleanup in the
452 error handling path, eventually running out of memory on the OST.
457 Description: Creating too long symlink causes lustre errors
458 Details : Check symlink and name lengths before sending requests to MDS.
461 Frequency : only if flock is enabled (not on by default)
463 Description: posix locks not released on fd closure on 2.6.9+
464 Details : We failed to add posix locks to list of inode locks on 2.6.9+
465 kernels, this caused such locks not to be released on fd close and
466 then assertions on fs unmount about still used locks.
469 Frequency : MDS failover only, very rarely
471 Description: clients may get ASSERTION(granted_lock != NULL)
472 Details : When request was taking a long time, and a client was resending
473 a getattr by name lock request. The were multiple lock requests
474 with the same client lock handle and
475 mds_getattr_name->fixup_handle_for_resent_request found one of the
476 lock handles but later failed with ASSERTION(granted_lock != NULL).
481 Description: handle->h_buffer_credits > 0, assertion failure
482 Details : h_buffer_credits is zero after truncate, causing assertion
483 failure. This patch extends the transaction or creates a new
487 Frequency : NFS re-export or patchless client
488 Bugzilla : 11179, 10796
489 Description: Crash on NFS re-export node (__d_move)
490 Details : We do not want to hash the dentry if we don't have a lock.
491 But if this dentry is later used in d_move, we'd hit uninitialised
492 list head d_hash, so we just do this to init d_hash field but
493 leave dentry unhashed.
496 Frequency : NFS re-export or patchless client
498 Description: NFS exports has problem with symbolic link
499 Details : lustre client didn't properly install dentry when re-exported
500 to NFS or running patchless client.
503 Frequency : NFS re-export or patchless client
505 Description: Various nfs/patchless fixes.
506 Details : fixes reuse disconected alias for lookup process - this fixes
507 warning "find_exported_dentry: npd != pd",
508 fix permission error with open files at nfs.
509 fix apply umaks when do revalidate.
512 Frequency : occasional
514 Description: Crash on NFS re-export node
515 Details : calling clear_page() on the wrong pointer triggered oops in
516 generic_mapping_read().
519 Frequency : rarely, using O_DIRECT IO
521 Description: unaligned directio crashes client with LASSERT
522 Details : check for unaligned buffers before trying any requests.
525 Frequency : rarely, using CFS RAID5 patches in non-standard kernel series
527 Description: stale data returned from RAID cache
528 Details : If only a small amount of IO is done to the RAID device before
529 reading it again it is possible to get stale data from the RAID
530 cache instead of reading it from disk.
533 Frequency : depends on arch, kernel and compiler version, always on sles10
536 Description: recursive or deep enough symlinks cause stack overflow
537 Details : getting rid of large stack-allocated variable in
541 Frequency : depends on hardware
543 Description: lustre write performance loss in the SLES10 kernel
544 Details : the performance loss is caused by using of write barriers in the
545 ext3 code. The SLES10 kernel turns barrier support on by
546 default. The fix is to undo that change for ldiskfs.

555 2.4.21-47.0.1.EL (RHEL 3)
556 2.6.12.6 vanilla (kernel.org)
560 Frequency : quota enabled and large files being deleted
562 Description: releasing more than 4GB of quota at once hangs OST
563 Details : If a user deletes more than 4GB of files on a single OST it
564 will cause the OST to spin in an infinite loop. Release
565 quota in < 4GB chunks, or use a 64-bit value for 1.4.7.1+.
570 Description: statfs data retrieved from /proc may be stale or zero
571 Details : When reading per-device statfs data from /proc, in the
572 {kbytes,files}_{total,free,avail} files, it may appear
573 as zero or be out of date.
576 Frequency : systems with MD RAID1 external journal devices
578 Description: lconf's call to blkid is confused by RAID1 journal devices
579 Details : Use the "blkid -l" flag to locate the MD RAID device instead
580 of returning all block devices that match the journal UUID.
583 Frequency : always, for aggregate stripe size over 4GB
585 Description: "lfs setstripe" fails assertion when setting 4GB+ stripe width
586 Details : Using "lfs setstripe" to set stripe size * stripe count over 4GB
587 will fail the kernel with "ASSERTION(lsm->lsm_xfersize != 0)"
590 Frequency : always if "lfs find" used on a local file/directory
592 Description: "lfs find" segfaults if used on a local file/directory
593 Details : The case where a directory component was not specified wasn't
594 handled correctly. Handle this properly.
597 Frequency : always on ppc64
599 Description: the write to an ext3 filesystem mounted with mballoc got stuck
600 Details : ext3_mb_generate_buddy() uses find_next_bit() which does not
601 perform endianness conversion.
604 Frequency : rarely (truncate to non-zero file size after write under load)
605 Bugzilla : 10730, 10687
606 Description: Files padded with zeros to next 4K multiple
607 Details : With filesystems mounted using the "extents" option (2.6 kernels)
608 it is possible that files that are truncated to a non-zero size
609 immediately after being written are filled with zero bytes beyond
610 the truncated size. No file data is lost.
612 Severity : enhancement
614 Description: Allow recovery/failover for liblustre clients.
615 Details : liblustre clients were unaware of failover configurations until
618 Severity : enhancement
620 Description: user file locks should fail when not mounting with flock option
621 Details : Set up an error-returning stub in ll_file_operations.lock field
622 to prevent incorrect behaviour when client is mounted without
623 flock option. Also, set up properly f_op->flock field for
627 Frequency : always on ia64
629 Description: "lfs df" loops on printing out MDS statfs information
630 Details : The obd_ioctl_data was not initialized and in some systems
631 this caused a failure during the ioctl that did not return
632 an error. Initialize the struct and return an error on failure.
635 Frequency : SLES 9 only
637 Description: Error of copying files with lustre special EAs as root
638 Details : Client side always return success for setxattr call for lustre
639 special xattr (currently only "trusted.lov").
642 Frequency : rarely on clusters with both ia64+i386 clients
644 Description: ia64+i686 clients doing shared IO on the same file may LBUG
645 Details : In rare cases when both ia64+i686 (or other mixed-PAGE_SIZE)
646 clients are doing concurrent writes to the same file it is
647 possible that the ia64 clients may LASSERT because the OST
648 extent locks are not PAGE_SIZE aligned. Ensure that grown
649 locks are always aligned on the request boundary.
652 Frequency : specific use, occasional
654 Description: Overwriting in use executable truncates on-disk binary image
655 Details : If one node attempts to overwrite an executable in use by
656 another node, we now correctly return ETXTBSY instead of
662 Description: chmod on Lustre root is propagated to other clients
663 Details : Re-validate root's dentry in ll_lookup_it to avoid having it
664 invalid by the follow_mount time.
667 Frequency : liblustre clients only
669 Description: Race in 'instant cancel' lock handling could lead to such locks
670 never to be granted in case of SMP MDS
671 Details : Do not destroy not yet granted but cbpending locks in
675 Frequency : replay/resend of open
677 Description: non null lock assetion failure in mds_intent_policy
678 Details : Trying to replay/resend lockless open requests resulted in
679 mds_open() returning 0 with no lock. Now it sets a flag if
680 a lock is going to be returned.
682 Severity : enhancement
684 Description: Checksum enhancements
685 Details : New checksum enhancements allow for resending RPCs that failed
688 Severity : enhancement
690 Description: Tunables on number of dirty pages in cacche
691 Details : Allow to set limit on number of dirty pages cached.
696 Description: client crash on unmount - lock still has references
697 Details : In some error handling cases it was possible to leak a lock
698 reference on a client while accessing a file. This was not
699 harmful to the client during operation, but would cause the
700 client to crash when the filesystem is unmounted.
703 Frequency : specific case, rare
705 Description: ETXTBSY on mds though file not in use by client
706 Details : ETXTBSY is no longer incorrectly returned when attempting to
707 chmod or chown a directory that the user previously tried to
708 execute or a currently-executing binary.
711 Frequency : extremely rare except on liblustre-based clients
713 Description: Lustre space not freed when files are deleted
714 Details : Clean up open-unlinked files after client eviction. Previously
715 the unlink was skipped and the files remained as orphans.
720 Description: OST failure "would be an LBUG" in waiting_locks_callback()
721 Details : In some cases it was possible to send a blocking callback to
722 a client doing a glimpse, even though that client didn't get
723 a lock granted. When the glimpse lock is cancelled on the OST
724 the freed lock is left on the waiting list and corrupted the list.
727 Frequency : all core dumps
729 Description: Broke core dumps to lustre
730 Details : Negative dentry may be unhashed if parent does not have UPDATE
731 lock, but some callers, e.g. do_coredump, expect dentry to be
732 hashed after successful create, hash it in ll_create_it.

750 Lustre is started. This was due to a filp leak introduced
751 by one of our kernel patches.
753 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
755 2006-08-20 Cluster File Systems, Inc. <info@clusterfs.com>
757 * Support for kernels:
760 2.4.21-40.EL (RHEL 3)
761 2.6.12.6 vanilla (kernel.org)
766 Bugzilla : 5719, 9635, 9792, 9684
767 Description: OST (or MDS) trips assertions in (re)connection under heavy load
768 Details : If a server is under heavy load and cannot reply to new
769 connection requests before the client resends the (re)connect,
770 the connection handling code can behave badly if two service
771 threads are concurrently handing separate (re)connections from
772 the same client. Add better locking to the connection handling
773 code, and ensure that only a single connection will be processed
774 for a given client UUID, even if the lock is dropped.
776 Severity : enhancement
778 Description: add TCP zero-copy support to kernel
779 Details : Add support to the kernel TCP stack to allow zero-copy bulk
780 sends if the hardware supports scatter-gather and checksumming.
781 This allows socklnd to do client-write and server-read more
782 efficiently and reduce CPU utilization from skbuf copying.
785 Frequency : only if NFS exporting from client
787 Description: NULL pointer deref in ll_iocontrol() if chattr mknod file
788 Details : If setting attributes on a file created under NFS that had
789 never been opened it would be possible to oops the client
790 if the file had no objects.
794 Bugzilla : 9326, 10402, 10897
795 Description: client crash in ptlrpcd_wake() thread when sending async RPC
796 Details : It is possible that ptlrpcd_wake() dereferences a freed async
797 RPC. In rare cases the ptlrpcd thread alread processed the RPC
798 before ptlrpcd_wake() was called and the request was freed.
801 Frequency : always for liblustre
803 Description: liblustre client does MDS+OSTs setattr RPC for each write
804 Details : When doing a write from a liblustre client, the client
805 incorrectly issued an RPC to the MDS and each OST the file was
806 striped over in order to update the timestamps. When writing
807 with small chunks and many clients this could overwhelm the MDS
808 with RPCs. In all cases it would slow down the write because
809 these RPCs are unnecessary.
811 Severity : enhancement
813 Description: allow number of MDS service threads to be changed at module load
814 Details : It is now possible to change the number of MDS service threads
815 running. Adding "options mds mds_num_threads={N}" to the MDS's
816 /etc/modprobe.conf will set the number of threads for the next
817 time Lustre is restarted (assuming the "mds" module is also
818 reloaded at that time). The default number of threads will
819 stay the same, 32 for most systems.
824 Description: OST crash if filesystem is unformatted or corrupt
825 Details : If an OST is started on a device that has never been formatted
826 or if the filesystem is corrupt and cannot even mount then the
827 error handling cleanup routines would dereference a NULL pointer.
832 Description: NULL pointer deref in llap_from_page.
833 Details : get_cache_page_nowait can return a page with NULL (or otherwise
834 incorrect) mapping if the page was truncated/reclaimed while it was
835 searched for. Check for this condition and skip such pages when
836 doing readahead. Introduce extra check to llap_from_page() to
837 verify page->mapping->host is non-NULL (so page is not anonymous).
840 Frequency : Sometimes when using sys_sendfile
842 Description: "page not covered by a lock" warnings from ll_readpage
843 Details : sendfile called ll_readpage without right page locks present.
844 Now we introduced ll_file_sendfile that does necessary locking
845 around call to generic_file_sendfile() much like we do in
849 Frequency : with certain MDS communication failures at client mount time
851 Description: NULL pointer deref after failed client mount
852 Details : a client connection request may delayed by the network layer
853 and not be sent until after the PTLRPC layer has timed out the
854 request. If the client fails the mount immediately it will try
855 to clean up before the network times out the request. Add a
856 reference from the request import to the obd device and delay
857 the cleanup until the network drops the request.
860 Frequency : occasionally during client (re)connect
862 Description: assertion failure during client (re)connect
863 Details : processing a client connection request may be delayed by the
864 client or server longer than the client connect timeout. This
865 causes the client to resend the connection request. If the
866 original connection request is replied in this interval, the
867 client may trip an assertion failure in ptlrpc_connect_interpret()
868 which thought it would be the only running connect process.
871 Frequency : only with obd_echo servers and clients that are rebooted
873 Description: kernel BUG accessing uninitialized data structure
874 Details : When running an obd_echo server it did not start the ping_evictor
875 thread, and when a client was evicted an uninitialized data
876 structure was accessed. Start the ping_evictor in the RPC
877 service startup instead of the OBD startup.
879 Severity : enhancement
880 Bugzilla : 10193 (patchless)
881 Description: Remove dependency on various unexported kernel interfaces.
882 Details : No longer need reparent_to_init, exit_mm, exit_files,
883 sock_getsockopt, filemap_populate, FMODE_EXEC, put_filp.
886 Frequency : rare (only users of deprecated and unsupported LDAP config)
888 Description: write_conf for zeroconf mount queried LDAP incorrectly for client
889 Details : LDAP apparently contains 'lustreName' attributes instead of
890 'name'. A simple remapping of the name is sufficient.
893 Frequency : rare (only with non-default dump_on_timeout debug enabled)
895 Description: waiting_locks_callback trips kernel BUG if client is evicted
896 Details : Running with the dump_on_timeout debug flag turned on makes
897 it possible that the waiting_locks_callback() can try to dump
898 the Lustre kernel debug logs from an interrupt handler. Defer
899 this log dumping to the expired_lock_main() thread.
901 Severity : enhancement
903 Description: Support NFS exporting on 2.6 kernels.
904 Details : Implement non-rawops metadata methods for NFS server to use without
905 changing NFS server code.
908 Frequency : very rare (synthetic metadata workload only)
910 Description: two racing renames might cause an MDS thread to deadlock
911 Details : Running the "racer" program may cause one MDS thread to rename
912 a file from being the source of a rename to being the target of
913 a rename at exactly the same time that another thread is doing
914 so, and the second thread has already enqueued these locks after
915 doing a lookup of the target and is trying to relock them in
916 order. Ensure that we don't try to re-lock the same resource.
919 Frequency : only very large systems with liblustre clients
921 Description: slow eviction of liblustre clients with the "evict_by_nid" RPC
922 Details : Use asynchronous set_info RPCs to send the "evict_by_nid" to
923 all OSTs in parallel. This allows the eviction of stale liblustre
924 clients to proceed much faster than if they were done in series,
925 and also offers similar improvements for other set_info RPCs.
930 Description: excessive CPU usage during initial read phase on client
931 Details : During the initial read phase on a client, it would agressively
932 retry readahead on the file, consuming too much CPU and impacting
933 performance (since 1.4.5.8). Improve the readahead algorithm
934 to avoid this, and also improve some other common cases (read
935 of small files in particular, where "small" is files smaller than
936 /proc/fs/lustre/llite/*/max_read_ahead_whole_mb, 2MB by default).
941 Description: MDS crash when receiving packet with unknown intent.
942 Details : Do not LBUG in unknown intent case, just return -EFAULT
944 Severity : enhancement
945 Bugzilla : 9293, 9385
946 Description: MDS RPCs are serialised on client. This is unnecessary for some.
947 Details : Do not serialize getattr (non-intent version) and statfs.
950 Frequency : occasional, when OST network is overloaded/intermittent
952 Description: client evicted by OST after bulk IO timeout
953 Details : If a client sends a bulk IO request (read or write) the OST
954 may evict the client if it is unresposive to its data GET/PUT
955 request. This is incorrect if the network is overloaded (takes
956 too long to transfer the RPC data) or dropped the OST GET/PUT
957 request. There is no need to evict the client at all, since
958 the pinger and/or lock callbacks will handle this, and the
959 client can restart the bulk request.
962 Frequency : Always when mmapping file with no objects
964 Description: client crashes when mmapping file with no objects
965 Details : Check that we actually have objects in a file before doing any
966 operations on objects in ll_vm_open, ll_vm_close and
972 Description: Request leak when working with deleted CWD
973 Details : Introduce advanced request refcount tracking for requests
974 referenced from lustre intent.
976 Severity : Enhancement
978 Description: Cache open file handles on client.
979 Details : MDS now will return special lock along with openhandle, if
980 requested and client is allowed to hold openhandle, even if unused,
981 until such a lock is revoked. Helps NFS a lot, since NFS is opening
982 closing files for every read/write openration.
984 Severity : Enhancement
986 Description: Cache open negative dentries on client when possible.
987 Details : Guard negative dentries with UPDATE lock on parent dir, drop
988 negative dentries on lock revocation.
993 Description: Remounting a client read-only wasn't possible with a zconf mount
994 Details : It wasn't possible to remount a client read-only with llmount.
996 Severity : enhancement
997 Description: Include MPICH 1.2.6 Lustre ADIO interface patch
998 Details : In lustre/contrib/ or /usr/share/lustre in RPM a patch for
999 MPICH is included to add Lustre-specific ADIO interfaces.
1000 This is based closely on the UFS ADIO layer and only differs
1001 in file creation, in order to allow the OST striping to be set.
1002 This is user-contributed code and not supported by CFS.
1007 Description: extended inode attributes (immutable, append-only) work improperly
1008 when 2.4 and 2.6 kernels are used on client/server or vice versa
1009 Details : Introduce kernel-independent values for these flags.
1011 Severity : enhancement
1014 Description: Allow fractional MB tunings for lustre in /proc/ filesystem.
1015 Details : Many of the /proc/ tunables can only be tuned at a megabyte
1016 granularity. Now, Fractional MB granularity is be supported,
1017 this is very useful for low memory system.
1019 Severity : enhancement
1021 Description: Getattr by fid
1022 Details : Getting a file attributes by its fid, obtaining UPDATE|LOOKUP
1023 locks, avoids extra getattr rpc requests to MDS, allows '/' to
1024 have locks and avoids getattr rpc requests for it on every stat.
1027 Frequency : Always, for filesystems larger than 2TB
1029 Description: ldiskfs crash at mount for filesystem larger than 2TB with mballoc
1030 Details : Kenrel kmalloc limits allocations to 128kB and this prevents
1031 filesystems larger than 2TB to be mounted with mballoc enabled.
1034 Frequency : Always, for 32-bit kernel without CONFIG_LBD and filesystem > 2TB
1036 Description: filesystem corruption for non-standard kernels and very large OSTs
1037 Details : If a 32-bit kernel is compiled without CONFIG_LBD enabled and a
1038 filesystems larger than 2TB is mounted then the kernel will
1039 silently corrupt the start of the filesystem. CONFIG_LBD is
1040 enabled for all CFS-supported kernels, but the possibility of
1041 this happening with a modified kernel config exists.
1043 Severity : enhancement
1045 Description: add client O_DIRECT support for 2.6 kernels
1046 Details : It is now possible to do O_DIRECT reads and writes to files
1047 in the Lustre client mountpoint on 2.6 kernel clients.
1049 Severity : enhancement
1051 Description: parallel glimpse, setattr, statfs, punch, destroy requests
1052 Details : Sends glimpse, setattr, statfs, punch, destroy requests to OSTs in
1053 parallel, not waiting for response from every OST before sending
1054 a rpc to the next OST.
1059 Description: setattr vs write race when updating file timestamps
1060 Details : Client processes that update a file timestamp into the past
1061 right after writing to the file (e.g. tar) it is possible that
1062 the updated file modification time can be reset to the current
1063 time due to a race between processing the setattr and write RPC.
1065 Severity : enhancement
1067 Description: Bring 'lfs find' closer in line with regular Linux find.
1068 Details : lfs find util supports -atime, -mtime, -ctime, -maxdepth, -print,
1069 -print0 options and obtains all the needed info through the lustre
1072 Severity : enhancement
1074 Description: support up to 1024 configured devices on one node
1075 Details : change obd_dev array from statically allocated to dynamically
1076 allocated structs as they are first used to reduce memory usage
1081 Description: Flush dirty partially truncated pages during truncate
1082 Details : Immediatelly flush partially truncated pages in filter_setattr,
1083 this way we completely avoid having any pages in page cache on OST
1084 and can retire ugly workarounds during writes to flush such pages.
1089 Description: i_sem vs transaction deadlock in mds_obd_destroy during unlink.
1090 Details : protect inode from truncation within vfs_unlink() context
1091 just take a reference before calling vfs_unlink() and release it
1092 when parent's i_sem is free.
1095 Frequency : always, if extents are used on OSTs
1097 Description: index ei_leaf_hi (48-bit extension) is not zeroed in extent index
1098 Details : OSTs using the extents format would not zero the high 16 bits of
1099 the index physical block number. This is not a problem for any
1100 OST filesystems smaller than 16TB, and no kernels support ext3
1101 filesystems larger than 16TB yet. This is fixed in 1.4.7 (all
1102 new/modified files) and can be fixed for existing filesystems
1103 with e2fsprogs-1.39-cfs1.
1108 Description: import connection selection may be incorrect if timer wraps
1109 Details : Using a 32-bit jiffies timer with HZ=1000 may cause backup
1110 import connections to be ignored if the 32-bit jiffies counter
1111 wraps. Use a 64-bit jiffies counter.
1114 Frequency : during server recovery
1116 Description: crash after server is denying duplicate export
1117 Details : If clients are resending connect requests to the server, the
1118 server refuses to allow a client to connect multiple times.
1119 Fixed a bug in the handling of this case.
1122 Frequency : very large clusters immediately after boot
1124 Description: LNET request buffers exhausted under heavy short-term load
1125 Details : If a large number of client requests are generated on a service
1126 that has previously never seen so many requests it is possible
1127 that the request buffer growth cannot keep up with the spike in
1128 demand. Instead of dropping incoming requests, they are held in
1129 the LND until the RPC service can accept more requests.
1132 Frequency : Sometimes during replay
1134 Description: Assertion failure in ll_local_open after replay.
1135 Details : If replay happened on an open request reply before we were able
1136 to set replay handler, reply will become not swabbed tripping the
1137 assertion in ll_local_open. Now we set the handler right after
1138 recognising of open request
1141 Frequency : very rare
1143 Description: kernel reports "badness in vsnprintf"
1144 Details : Reading from the "recovery_status" /proc file in small chunks
1145 may cause a negative length in lprocfs_obd_rd_recovery_status()
1146 call to vsnprintf() (which is otherwise harmless). Exit early
1147 if there is no more space in the output buffer.
1149 Severity : enhancement
1151 Description: clear OBD RPC statistics by writing to them
1152 Details : It is now possible to clear the OBD RPC statistics by writing
1153 to the "stats" file.
1158 Description: Client mtime is not the same on different clients after utimes
1159 Details : In some cases, the client was using the utimes() syscall on
1160 a file cached on another node. The clients now validate the
1161 ctime from the MDS + OSTs to determine which one is right.
1166 Description: Inability to activate failout mode
1167 Details : lconf script incorrectly assumed that in python string's numeric
1168 value is used in comparisons.
1171 Frequency : always with multiple stripes per file
1173 Description: Inefficient object allocation for mutli-stripe files
1174 Details : When selecting which OSTs to stripe files over, for files with
1175 a stripe count that divides evenly into the number of OSTs,
1176 the MDS is always picking the same starting OST for each file.
1177 Return the OST selection heuristic to the original design.
1182 Description: mount failures may take full timeout to return an error
1183 Details : Under some heavy load conditions it is possible that a
1184 failed mount can wait for the full obd_timeout interval,
1185 possibly several minutes, before reporting an error.
1186 Instead return an error as soon as the status is known.

1190 2006-02-14 Cluster File Systems, Inc. <info@clusterfs.com>
1192 * WIRE PROTOCOL CHANGE. This version of Lustre networking WILL NOT
1193 INTEROPERATE with older versions automatically. Please read the
1194 user documentation before upgrading any part of a live system.
1195 * WARNING: Lustre networking configuration changes are required with
1196 this release. See https://bugzilla.clusterfs.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10052
1199 * Support for kernels:
1200 2.6.9-22.0.2.EL (RHEL 4)
1201 2.6.5-7.244 (SLES 9)
1202 2.6.12.6 vanilla (kernel.org)
1205 Severity : enhancement
1206 Bugzilla : 7981/8208
1207 Description: Introduced Lustre Networking (LNET)
1208 Details : LNET is new networking infrastructure for Lustre, it includes
1209 a reorganized network configuration mode (see the user
1210 documentation for full details) as well as support for routing
1211 between different network fabrics. Lustre Networking Devices
1212 (LNDs) for the supported network fabrics have also been
1213 created for this new infrastructure.
1215 Severity : enhancement
1216 Description: Introduced Access control lists
1217 Details : clients can set ACLs on files and directories in order to have
1218 more fine-grained permissions than the standard Unix UGO+RWX.
1219 The MDS must be started with the "-o acl" mount option.
1221 Severity : enhancement
1222 Description: Introduced filesystem quotas
1223 Details : Administrators may now establish per-user quotas on the
1226 Severity : enhancement
1228 Description: Configuration change for the XT3
1229 The PTLLND is now used to run Lustre over Portals on the XT3
1230 The configure option(s) --with-cray-portals are no longer used.
1231 Rather --with-portals=<path-to-portals-includes> is used to
1232 enable building on the XT3. In addition to enable XT3 specific
1233 features the option --enable-cray-xt3 must be used.
1238 Description: Running on many-way SMP OSTs can trigger oops in llcd_send()
1239 Details : A race between allocating a new llcd and re-getting the llcd_lock
1240 allowed another thread to grab newly-allocated llcd.
1242 Severity : enhancement
1244 Description: 2.6 OST async journal commit and locking fix to improve performance
1245 Details : The filter_direct_io()+filter_commitrw_write() journal commits for
1246 2.6 kernels are now async as they already were in 2.4 kernels so
1247 that they can commit concurrently with the network bulk transfer.
1248 For block-allocated files the filter allocation semaphore is held
1249 to avoid filesystem fragmentation during allocation. BKL lock
1250 removed for 2.6 xattr operations where it is no longer needed.
1255 Description: lconf incorrectly determined whether two IP networks could talk
1256 Details : In some more complicated routing and multiple-network
1257 configurations, lconf will avoid trying to make a network
1258 connection to a disjoint part of the IP space. It was doing the
1259 math incorrectly for one set of cases.
1264 Description: Fix for potential infinite loop processing records in an llog.
1265 Details : If an llog record is corrupted/zeroed, it is possible to loop
1266 forever in llog_process(). Validate the llog record length
1267 and skip the remainder of the block on error.
1270 Frequency : occasional (liblustre only)
1272 Description: liblustre could not open files whose last component is a symlink
1273 Details : sysio_path_walk() would incorrectly pass the open intent to
1274 intermediate path components.
1277 Frequency : rare (liblustre only with non-standard tuning)
1278 Bugzilla : 7201 (7350)
1279 Description: Tuning the MDC DLM LRU size to zero triggers client LASSERT
1280 Details : llu_lookup_finish_locks() tries to set lock data on a lock
1281 after it has been released, only do this for referenced locks
1283 Severity : enhancement
1285 Description: specifying an (invalid) directory default stripe_size of -1
1286 would reset the directory default striping
1287 Details : stripe_size -1 was used internally to signal directory stripe
1288 removal, now use "all default" to signal dir stripe removal
1289 as a directory striping of "all default" is not useful
1292 Frequency : common for large clusters running liblustre clients
1294 Description: doing an ls when liblustre clients are running is slow
1295 Details : sending a glimpse AST to a liblustre client waits for every AST
1296 to time out, as liblustre clients will not respond. Since they
1297 cannot cache data we refresh the OST lock LVB from disk instead.
1299 Severity : enhancement
1301 Description: doing an ls at the same time as file IO can be slow
1302 Details : enqueue and other "small" requests can be blocked behind many
1303 large IO requests. Create a new OST IO portal for non-IO
1304 requests so they can be processed faster.
1307 Frequency : rare (only HPUX clients mounting unsupported re-exported NFS vol)
1309 Description: an HPUX NFS client would get -EACCESS when ftruncate()ing a newly
1310 created file with mode 000
1311 Details : the Linux NFS server relies on an MDS_OPEN_OWNEROVERRIDE hack to
1312 allow an ftruncate() as a non-root user to a file with mode 000.
1313 Lustre now respects this flag to disable mode checks when
1314 truncating a file owned by the user
1317 Frequency : liblustre-only, when liblustre client dies unexpectedly or becomes
1320 Description: Revoking locks from clients that went dead or catatonic might take
1322 Details : New lock flags FL_CANCEL_ON_BLOCK used by liblustre makes
1323 cancellation of such locks instant on servers without waiting for
1324 any reply from clients. Clients drops these locks when cancel
1325 notification from server is received without replying.
1328 Frequency : liblustre-only, when liblustre client dies or becomes busy
1330 Description: Doing ls on Linux clients can take a long time with active
1332 Details : Liblustre client cannot handle ASTs in timely manner, so avoid
1333 granting such locks to it in the first place if possible. Locks
1334 are taken by proxy on the OST during the read or write and
1335 dropped immediately afterward. Add connect flags handling, do
1336 not grant locks to liblustre clients for glimpse ASTs.
1338 Severity : enhancement
1340 Description: Improve read-ahead algorithm to avoid excessive IO for random reads
1341 Details : Existing read-ahead algorithm is tuned for the case of streamlined
1342 sequential reads and behaves badly with applications doing random
1343 reads. Improve it by reading ahead at least read region, and
1344 avoiding excessive large RPC for small reads.
1346 Severity : enhancement
1348 Description: Creating more than 1000 files for a single job may cause a load
1349 imbalance on the OSTs if there are also a large number of OSTs.
1350 Details : qos_prep_create() uses an OST index reseed value that is an
1351 even multiple of the number of available OSTs so that if the
1352 reseed happens in the middle of the object allocation it will
1353 still utilize the OSTs as uniformly as possible.
1358 Description: OST or MDS may oops in ping_evictor_main()
1359 Details : ping_evictor_main() drops obd_dev_lock if deleting a stale export
1360 but doesn't restart at beginning of obd_exports_timed list
1363 Severity : enhancement
1365 Description: improve by-nid export eviction on the MDS and OST
1366 Details : allow multiple exports with the same NID to be evicted at one
1367 time without re-searching the exports list.
1370 Frequency : rare, only with supplementary groups enabled on SMP 2.6 kernels
1372 Description: MDS may oops in groups_free()
1373 Details : in rare race conditions a newly allocated group_info struct is
1374 freed again, and this can be NULL. The 2.4 compatibility code
1375 for groups_free() checked for a NULL pointer, but 2.6 did not.
1378 Frequency : common for liblustre clients doing little filesystem IO
1379 Bugzilla : 9352, 7313
1380 Description: server may evict liblustre clients accessing contended locks
1381 Details : if a client is granted a lock or receives a completion AST
1382 with a blocking AST already set it would not reply to the AST
1383 for LDLM_FL_CANCEL_ON_BLOCK locks. It now replies to such ASTs.
1386 Frequency : lfs setstripe, only systems with more than 160 OSTs
1388 Description: unable to set striping with a starting offset beyond OST 160
1389 Details : llapi_create_file() incorrectly limited the starting stripe
1390 index to the maximum single-file stripe count.
1393 Frequency : LDAP users only
1395 Description: lconf did not handle in-kernel recovery with LDAP properly
1396 Details : lconf/LustreDB get_refs() is searching the wrong namespace
1398 Severity : enhancement
1400 Description: bind OST threads to NUMA nodes to improve performance
1401 Details : all OST threads are uniformly bound to CPUs on a single NUMA
1402 node and do their allocations there to localize memory access
1404 Severity : enhancement
1406 Description: llmount can determine client NID directly from Myrinet (GM)
1407 Details : the client NID code from gmnalnid was moved directly into
1408 llmount, removing the need to use this or specifying the
1409 client NID explicitly when mounting GM clients with zeroconf
1412 Frequency : if client is started with down MDS
1414 Description: if client is started with down MDS mount hangs in ptlrpc_queue_wait
1415 Details : Having an LWI_INTR() wait event (interruptible, but no timeout)
1416 will wait indefinitely in ptlrpc_queue_wait->l_wait_event() after
1417 ptlrpc_import_delayed_req() because we didn't check if the
1418 request was interrupted, and we also didn't break out of the
1419 event loop if there was no timeout
1424 Description: data loss during non-page-aligned writes to a single file from
1425 both multiple nodes and multiple threads on one node at same time
1426 Details : updates to KMS and lsm weren't protected by common lock. Resulting
1427 inconsistency led to false short-reads, that were cached and later
1428 used by ->prepare_write() to fill in partially written page,
1429 leading to data loss.
1432 Frequency : always, if lconf --abort_recovery used

1447 Description: add support for EAs (user and system) on lustre filesystems
1448 Details : it is now possible to store extended attributes in the Lustre
1449 client filesystem, and with the user_xattr mount option it
1450 is possible to allow users to store EAs on their files also
1452 Severity : enhancement
1454 Description: Add possibility (config option) to show minimal available OST free
1456 Details : When compiled with --enable-mindf configure option, statfs(2)
1457 (and so, df) will return least minimal free space available from
1458 all OSTs as amount of free space on FS, instead of summary of
1459 free spaces of all OSTs.
1461 Severity : enhancement
1463 Description: do not expand extent locks acquired on OST-side
1464 Details : Modify ldlm_extent_policy() to not expand local locks, acquired
1465 by server: they are not cached anyway.
1468 Frequency : when mmap is used/binaries executed from Lustre
1470 Description: Unmmap pages before throwing them away from read cache.
1471 Details : llap_shrink cache now attempts to unmap pages before discarding
1472 them (if unmapping failed - do not discard). SLES9 kernel has
1473 extra checks that trigger if this unmapping is not done first.
1478 Description: lconf didn't resolve symlinks before checking to see whether a
1479 given mountpoint was already in use
1482 Frequency : when migrating failover services
1483 Bugzilla : 6395, 9514
1484 Description: When migrating a subset of services from a node (e.g. failback
1485 from a failover service node) the remaining services would
1486 time out and evict clients.
1487 Details : lconf --force (implied by --failover) sets the global obd_timeout
1488 to 5 seconds in order to quickly disconnect, but this caused
1489 other RPCs to time out too quickly. Do not change the global
1490 obd_timeout for force cleanup, only set it for DISCONNECT RPCs.

1493 Frequency : if MDS is started with down OST
1494 Bugzilla : 9439,5706
1495 Description: Allow startup/shutdown of an MDS without depending on the
1496 availability of the OSTs.
1497 Details : Asynchronously call mds_lov_synchronize during MDS startup.
1498 Add appropriate locking and lov-osc refcounts for safe
1499 cleaning. Add osc abort_inflight calls in case the
1500 synchronize never started.
1503 Frequency : occasional (Cray XT3 only)
1505 Description: root not authorized to access files in CRAY_PORTALS environment
1506 Details : The client process capabilities were not honoured on the MDS in
1507 a CRAY_PORTALS/CRAY_XT3 environment. If the file had previously
1508 been accessed by an authorized user then root was able to access
1509 the file on the local client also. The root user capabilities
1510 are now allowed on the MDS, as this environment has secure UID.
1513 Frequency : occasional
1515 Description: ldiskfs "too long searching" message happens too often
1516 Details : A debugging message (otherwise harmless) prints too often on
1517 the OST console. This has been reduced to only happen when
1518 there are fragmentation problems on the filesystem.
1523 Description: Division by zero in statfs when all OSCs are inactive
1524 Details : lov_get_stripecnt() returns zero due to incorrect order of checks,
1525 lov_statfs divides by value returned by lov_get_stripecnt().
1529 Bugzilla : 9489, 3273
1530 Description: First write from each client to each OST was only 4kB in size,
1531 to initialize client writeback cache, which caused sub-optimal
1532 RPCs and poor layout on disk for the first writen file.
1533 Details : Clients now request an initial cache grant at (re)connect time
1534 and so that they can start streaming writes to the cache right
1535 away and always do full-sized RPCs if there is enough data.
1536 If the OST is rebooted the client also re-establishes its grant
1537 so that client cached writes will be honoured under the grant.
1542 Description: Slow ls (and stat(2) syscall) on files residing on IO-loaded OSTs
1543 Details : Now I/O RPCs go to different portal number and (presumably) fast
1544 lock requests (and glimses) and other RPCs get their own service
1545 threads pool that should be able to service those RPCs

1551 issue warnings at client side if client is too old. Also for
1552 liblustre clients there is ability to refuse connection of too old

1555 filled with version info. That info is later checked by server and
1559 Frequency : rare, liblustre only.

1561 Description: Two simultaneous writes from liblustre at offset within same page
1562 might proceed at the same time overwriting eachother with stale
1564 Details : I/O lock withing llu_file_prwv was released too early, before data
1565 actually was hitting the wire. Extended lock-holding time until
1566 server acknowledges receiving data.
1569 Frequency : extremely rare. Never observed in practice.
1571 Description: avoid generating lustre_handle cookie of 0.
1572 Details : class_handle_hash() generates handle cookies by incrementing
1573 global counter, and can hit 0 occasionaly (this is unlikely, but
1574 not impossible, because initial value of cookie counter is
1575 selected randonly). Value of 0 is used as a sentinel meaning
1576 "unassigned handle" --- avoid it. Also coalesce two critical
1577 sections in this function into one.
1579 Severity : enhancement
1581 Description: allow liblustre clients to delegate truncate locking to OST
1582 Details : To avoid overhead of locking, liblustre client instructs OST to
1583 take extent lock in ost_punch() on client's behalf. New connection
1584 flag is added to handle backward compatibility.

1596 Description: servers crash with bad pointer in target_handle_connect()
1597 Details : In rare cases when a client is reconnecting it was possible that
1598 the connection request was the last reference for that export.
1599 We would temporarily drop the export reference and get a new
1600 one, but this may have been the last reference and the export
1601 was just destroyed. Get new reference before dropping old one.

1613 Description: Stop sending data to evicted clients as soon as possible.
1614 Details : Check if the client we are about to send or are sending data to
1615 was evicted already. (Check is done every second of waiting,
1616 for which l_wait_event interface was extended to allow checking
1617 of exit condition at specified intervals).
1620 Frequency : rare, normally only when NFS exporting is done from client
1622 Description: 'bad disk LOV MAGIC: 0x00000000' error when chown'ing files
1624 Details : Make mds_get_md() recognise empty md case and set lmm size to 0.

1638 logs stored on the MDS and report an error if this is the case.
1639 Request --write-conf, or allow starting with --old_conf.
1641 Severity : enhancement
1643 Description: Handle symlinks in the path when checking if Lustre is mounted.
1644 Details : Resolve intermediate symlinks when checking if a client has
1645 mounted a filesystem to avoid duplicate client mounts.
1650 Description: lconf can hit an error exception but still return success.
1651 Details : The lconf command catches the Command error exception at the top
1652 level script context and will exit with the associated exit
1653 status, but doesn't ensure that this exit status is non-zero.
1658 Description: failure of ptlrpc thread startup can cause oops
1659 Details : Starting a ptlrpc service thread can fail if there are a large
1660 number of threads or the server memory is very fragmented.
1661 Handle this without oopsing.
1664 Frequency : always, only if liblustre and non-default acceptor port was used
1666 Description: liblustre cannot connect to servers with non-default acceptor port
1667 Details : tcpnal_set_default_params() was not called and was therefore
1668 ignoring the environment varaible TCPNAL_PORT, as well as other
1669 TCPNAL_ environment variables
1674 Description: two objects could be created on the same OST for a single file
1675 Details : If an OST is down, in some cases it was possible to create two
1676 objects on a single OST for a single file. No problems other
1677 than potential performance impact and spurious error messages.

1691 Details : link_raw functions used to call d_instantiate without obtaining
1692 extra inode reference first.
1696 Bugzilla : 9942, 9903
1697 Description: Referencing freed requests leading to crash, memleaks with NFS.
1698 Details : We used to require that call to ll_revalidate_it was always
1699 followed by ll_lookup_it. Also with revalidate_special() it is
1700 possible to call ll_revalidate_it() twice for the same dentry
1701 even if first occurence returned success. This fix changes semantic
1702 between DISP_ENQ_COMPLETE disposition flag to mean there is extra
1703 reference on a request referred from the intent.
1704 ll_intent_release() then releases such a request.
1707 Frequency : rare, normally benchmark loads only
1709 Description: unlinked inodes were kept in memory on the client
1710 Details : If a client is repeatedly creating and unlinking files it
1711 can accumulate a lot of stale inodes in the inode slab cache.
1712 If there is no other client load running this can cause the
1713 client node to run out of memory. Instead flush old inodes
1714 from client cache that have the same inode number as a new inode.

1726 Bugzilla : 4180, 6984, 7171, 9963, 9331
1727 Description: OST becomes very slow and/or deadlocked during object unlink
1728 Details : filter_destroy() was holding onto the parent directory lock
1729 while truncating+unlinking objects. For very large objects this
1730 may block other threads for a long time and slow overall OST
1731 responsiveness. It may also be possible to get a lock ordering
1732 deadlock in this case, or run out of journal credits because of
1733 the combined truncate+unlink. Solution is to do object truncate
1734 first in one transaction without parent lock, and then do the
1735 final unlink in a new transaction with the parent lock. This
1736 reduces the lock hold time dramatically.
1739 Frequency : rare, 2.4 kernels only
1741 Description: MDS or OST cleanup may trip kernel BUG when dropping kernel lock
1742 Details : mds_cleanup() and filter_cleanup() need to drop the kernel lock
1743 before unmounting their filesystem in order to avoid deadlock.
1744 The kernel_locked() function in 2.4 kernels only checks whether
1745 the kernel lock is held, not whether it is this process that is
1746 holding it as 2.6 kernels do.
1751 Description: MDS or OST may oops/LBUG if a client is connecting multiple times
1752 Details : The client ptlrpc code may be trying to reconnect to a down
1753 server before a previous connection attempt has timed out.
1754 Increase the reconnect interval to be longer than the connection
1755 timeout interval to avoid sending duplicate connections to
1759 Frequency : echo_client brw_test command
1761 Description: fix echo_client to work with OST preallocated code
1762 Details : OST preallocation code (5137) didn't take echo_client IO path
1763 into account: echo_client calls filter methods outside of any
1764 OST thread and, hence, there is no per-thread preallocated
1765 pages and buffers to use. Solution: hijack pga pages for IO. As
1766 a byproduct, this avoids unnecessary data copying.
1770 Bugzilla : 3555, 5962, 6025, 6155, 6296, 9574
1771 Description: Client can oops in mdc_commit_close() after open replay
1772 Details : It was possible for the MDS to return an open request with no
1773 transaction number in mds_finish_transno() if the client was
1774 evicted, but without actually returning an error. Clients
1775 would later try to replay that open and may trip an assertion
1776 Simplify the client close codepath, and always return an error
1777 from the MDS in case the open is not successful.
1780 Frequency : rare, 2.6 OSTs only
1782 Description: OST may deadlock under high load on fragmented files
1783 Details : If there was a heavy load and highly-fragmented OST filesystems
1784 it was possible to have all the OST threads deadlock waiting on
1785 allocation of biovecs, because the biovecs were not released
1786 until the entire RPC IO was completed. Instead, release biovecs
1787 as soon as they are complete to ensure forward IO progress.
1789 Severity : enhancement
1791 Description: Support for specifying external journal device at mount
1792 Details : If an OST or MDS device is formatted with an external journal
1793 device, this device major/minor is stored in the ext3 superblock
1794 and may not be valid for failover. Allow detecting and
1795 specifying the external journal at mount time.
1800 Description: Mounting an MDS with pending unlinked files may cause oops
1801 Details : target_finish_recovery() calls mds_postrecov() which returned
1802 the number of orphans unlinked. mds_lov_connect->mds_postsetup()
1803 considers this an error and immediately begins cleaning up the
1804 lov, just after starting the mds_lov process

1822 Description: Mounting an ldiskfs file system with mballoc may crash OST node.
1823 Details : ldiskfs mballoc code may reference an uninitialized buddy struct
1824 at startup during orphan unlinking. Instead, skip buddy update
1825 before setup, as it will be regenerated after recovery is complete.
1830 Description: If an OST is inactive, its locks might reference stale inodes.
1831 Details : lov_change_cbdata() must iterate over all namespaces, even if
1832 they are inactive to clear inode references from the lock.
1834 Severity : enhancement
1835 Frequency : occasional, if non-standard max_dirty_mb used
1837 Description: Client will block write RPCs if not enough grant
1838 Details : If a client has max_dirty_mb smaller than max_rpcs_in_flight,
1839 then the client will block writes while waiting for another RPC
1840 to complete instead of consuming its dirty limit. With change
1841 we get improved performance when max_dirty_mb is small.

1846 Details : The MDS has an upcall /proc/fs/lustre/mds/{mds}/group_upcall
1847 (set to /usr/sbin/l_getgroups if enabled) which will do MDS-side
1848 lookups for user supplementary groups into a cache.

1873 /proc/fs/lustre/mds/.../evict_client client with nid that equals to
1874 $NID would be instantly evicted from this MDS and from all active
1875 OSTs connected to it.

1932 Details : OSTs now preallocates memory needed to write out data at
1933 startup, instead of when needed, to avoid having to
1934 allocate memory in possibly low memory situations.
1935 Specifically, if the file system is mounted on on OST,
1936 memory pressure could force it to try to write out data,
1937 which it needed to allocate memory to do. Due to the low
1938 memory, it would be unable to do so and the node would
1939 become unresponsive.

1956 Details : Additional detailed health check information on MSD and OSTs
1957 is now provided through the procfs health_check value.
1960 Frequency : occasional, depends on IO load
1962 Description: Disk fragmentation on the OSTs could eventually cause slowdowns
1963 after numerous create/delete cycles
1964 Details : The ext3 inode allocation policy would not allocate new inodes
1965 very well on the OSTs because there are no new directories
1966 being created. Instead we look for groups with free space if
1967 the parent directories are nearly full.
1972 Description: Network or server problems during mount may cause partially
1973 mounted clients instead of returning an error.
1974 Details : The config llog parsing code may overwrite the error return
1975 code during mount error handling, returning success instead
1981 Description: MDS can fail to allocate large reply buffers
1982 Details : After long uptimes the MDS can fail to allocate large reply
1983 buffers (e.g. zconf client mount config records) due to memory
1984 fragmentation or consumption by the buffer cache. Preallocate
1985 some large reply buffers so that these replies can be sent even
1986 under memory pressure.
1990 Frequency : rare (liblustre)
1991 Description: fsx running with liblustre complained that using truncate() to
1992 extend the file doesn't work. This patch corrects that issue.
1993 Details : This is the liblustre equivalent of the fix for bug 6196. Fixes
1994 ATTR_SIZE and lsm use in llu_setattr_raw.
1998 Frequency : rare, only 2.6 kernels
1999 Description: Unusual file access patterns on the MDS may result in inode
2000 data being lost in very rare circumstances.
2001 Details : Bad interaction between the ea-in-inode patch and the "no-read"
2002 code in the 2.6 kernel caused the inode and/or EA data not to
2003 be read from disk, causing single-file corruption.
2007 Frequency : rare, only 2.6 filesystems using extents
2008 Description: Heavy concurrent write and delete load may cause data corruption.

2010 metadata block in the block device cache from a just-unlinked
2011 file overwrite a newly-allocated data block. We now unmap any
2012 metadata buffers that alias just-allocated data blocks.
2016 Frequency : filesystems with default stripe_count larger than 77
2017 Description: lconf+mke2fs fail when formatting filesystem with > 77 stripes
2018 Details : lconf specifies an inode size of 4096 bytes when the default
2019 stripe_count is larger than 77. This conflicts with the default
2020 inode density of 1 per 4096 bytes. Allocate smaller inodes in

2048 Description: lfs getstripe would oops on a very large filesystem
2049 Details : lov_getconfig used kfree on vmalloc'd memory
2052 Frequency : only filesystems exporting via NFS to Solaris 10 clients
2053 Bugzilla : 6242, 6243
2054 Description: reading from files that had been truncated to a non-zero size
2055 but never opened returned no data
2056 Details : ll_file_read() reads zeros from no-object files to EOF
2061 Description: A bug in MDS/OSS recovery could cause the OSS to fail an assertion
2062 Details : There's little harm in aborting MDS/OSS recovery and letting it
2063 try again, so I removed the LASSERT and return an error instead.
2065 Severity : enhancement
2067 Description: New debugging infrastructure for tracking down data corruption
2068 Details : The I/O checksum code was replaced to: (a) control it at runtime,
2069 (b) cover more of the client-side code path, and (c) try to narrow
2070 down where problems occurred
2074 Bugzilla : 3819, 4364, 4397, 6313
2075 Description: Racing close and eviction MDS could cause assertion in mds_close
2076 Details : It was possible to get multiple mfd references during close and
2077 client eviction, leading to one thread referencing a freed mfd.
2079 Severity: : enhancement
2080 Bugzilla : 3262, 6359
2081 Description: Attempts to reconnect to servers are now more aggressive.
2082 Details : This builds on the enhanced upcall-less recovery that was added
2083 in 1.4.2. When trying to reconnect to servers, clients will
2084 now try each server in the failover group every 10 seconds. By
2085 default, clients would previously try one server every 25 seconds.
2090 Description: After recovery, certain operations trigger a failed
2091 assertion on a client.
2092 Details : Failing over an mds, using lconf -d --failover, while a
2093 client was doing a readdir() call would cause the client to
2094 LBUG after recovery completed and the readdir() was resent.
2096 Severity : enhancement
2098 Description: Default groups are now added by lconf
2099 Details : You can now run lconf --group <servicename> without having to
2100 manually add groups with lmc.
2103 Frequency : occasional
2105 Description: Nodes with an elan id of 0 trigger a failed assertion
2108 Frequency : always when accessing e.g. tty/console device nodes
2110 Description: tty and some other devices nodes cannot be used on lustre
2111 Details : file's private_data field is used by device data and lustre
2112 values in there got lost. New field was added to struct file to
2113 store fs-specific private data.
2116 Frequency : when exporting Lustre via NFS
2118 Description: NFSD failed occasionally when looking up a path component
2119 Details : NFSD is looking up ".." which was broken in ext3 directories
2120 that had grown large enough to become hashed.
2123 Frequency : Clusters with multiple interfaces not on the same subnet
2125 Description: Nodes will repeatedly try to reconnect to an interface which it
2126 cannot reach and report an error to the log.
2127 Details : Extra peer list entries will be created by lconf with some peers
2128 unreachable. lconf now validates the peer before adding it.
2131 Frequency : Only if a default stripe is set on the filesystem root.
2133 Description: Setting a default stripe on the filesystem root prevented the
2134 filesystem from being remounted.
2135 Details : The client was sending extra request flags in the root getattr
2136 request and did not allocate a reply buffer for the dir EA.
2139 Frequency : occasional, higher if lots of files are accessed by one client
2140 Bugzilla : 6159, 6097
2141 Description: Client trips assertion regarding lsm mismatch/magic
2142 Details : While revalidating inodes the VFS looks up inodes with ifind()
2143 and in rare cases can find an inode that is being freed.
2144 The ll_test_inode() code will free the lsm during ifind()
2145 when it finds an existing inode and then the VFS later attaches
2146 this free lsm to a new inode.
2150 Bugzilla : 6422, 7030
2151 Description: MDS deadlock between mkdir and client eviction
2152 Details : Creating a new file via mkdir or mknod (starting a transaction
2153 and getting the ns lock) can deadlock with client eviction
2154 (gets ns lock and trying to finish a synchronous transaction).
2157 Frequency : occasional
2158 Description: While starting a server, the fsfilt_ext3 module could not be
2160 Details : CFS's improved ext3 filesystem is named ldiskfs for 2.6
2161 kernels. Previously, lconf would still use the ext3 name
2162 when trying to load modules. Now, it will correctly use
2163 ext3 on 2.4 and ldiskfs on 2.6.
2165 Severity : enhancement
2166 Description: The default stripe count has been changed to 1
2167 Details : The interpretation of the default stripe count (0, to lfs
2168 or lmc) has been changed to mean striping across a single
2169 OST, rather than all available. For general usage we have
2170 found a stripe count of 1 or 2 works best.
2172 Severity : enhancement
2173 Description: Add support for compiling against Cray portals.
2174 Details : Conditional compiling for some areas that are different
2178 Frequency : occasional
2179 Bugzilla : 6409, 6834
2180 Description: Creating files with an explicit stripe count may lead to
2181 a failed assertion on the MDS
2182 Details : If some OSTs are full or unavailable, creating files may
2183 trigger a failed assertion on the MDS. Now, Lustre will
2184 try to use other servers or return an error to the
2188 Frequency : occasional
2190 Description: Multiple concurrent overlapping read+write on multiple SMP nodes
2191 caused lock timeout during readahead (since 1.4.2).
2192 Details : Processes doing readahead might match a lock that hasn't been
2193 granted yet if there are overlapping and conflicting lock
2194 requests. The readahead process waits on ungranted lock
2195 (original lock is CBPENDING), while OST waits for that process
2196 to cancel CBPENDING read lock and eventually evicts client.
2198 Severity : enhancement
2200 Description: Initial enabling of flock support for clients
2201 Details : Implements fcntl advisory locking and file status functions.
2202 This feature is provided as an optional mount flag (default
2203 off), and is NOT CURRENTLY SUPPORTED. Not all types of record
2204 locking are implemented yet, and those that are are not guaranteed
2205 to be completely correct in production environments.
2206 mount -t lustre -o [flock|noflock] ...
2209 Frequency : occasional
2211 Description: OSTs running 2.4 kernels but with extents enabled might trip an
2212 assertion in the ext3 JBD (journaling) layer.
2213 Details : The b_committed_data struct is protected by the big kernel lock
2214 in 2.4 kernels, serializing journal_commit_transaction() and
2215 ext3_get_block_handle->ext3_new_block->find_next_usable_block()
2216 access to this struct. In 2.6 kernels there is finer grained
2217 locking to improve SMP performance of the JBD layer.
2221 Description: Changes the "SCSI I/O Stats" kernel patch to default to "enabled"
