17 Description: don't use GFP_* in generic Lustre code.
18 Details : Use cfs_alloc_* functions and CFS_* flags for code portability.
22 Description: obdclass is limited by single OBD_ALLOC(idarray)
23 Details : replace OBD_ALLOC/OBD_FREE with OBD_VMALLOC/OBD_VFREE
27 Description: warnings with build patchless client with vanila 2.6.19 and up
28 Details : change old ctl_table style and replace ctl_table/ctl_table_header
29 with cfs_sysctl_table_t/cfs_sysctl_table_header_t
33 Frequency : Only for SLES
34 Description: sanity_quota fail test_1
35 Details : There are multiple occurences of $TSTUSR in SLES's /etc/group
36 file, which makes TSTID[2] inunique.
40 Frequency : Only for SLES9
41 Description: Kernel patches for SLES9 2.6.5-7.286 kernel
42 Details : Update target/ChangeLog/which_patch .
46 Frequency : Only for test_10 in sanity-quota.sh
47 Description: a bug in quota test code
48 Details : checking a test flag in a wrong place
52 Frequency : Only for test_13 in sanity-quota.sh
53 Description: a bug in quota test script
54 Details : shouldn't check overfull allocated quota
58 Description: jbd statistics
59 Details : Port older jbd statistics patch for sles10
61 Severity : enhancement
63 Description: Add printing inode info into message about error in writepage.
68 Description: reply_lock_interpret crash due to race with it and lock cancel.
69 Details : Do not replay locks that are being cancelled. Do not reference
70 locks by their address during replay, just by their handle.
74 Frequency : When flocks are used.
75 Description: assertion failure in ldlm_cli_enquque_fini for non NULL lock.
76 Details : Flock locks might destroy just granted lock if it could be merged
77 with another existing flock, this is done in completion handler,
78 so teach ldlm_cli_enquque_fini that this is a valid case for
84 Description: Oops in read and write path when failing to allocate lock.
85 Details : Check if lock allocation failed and return error back.
89 Description: lstripe command fails for valid OST index
90 Details : The stripe offset is compared to lov->desc.ld_tgt_count
91 instead of lov->desc.ld_active_tgt_count.
95 Description: sanity.sh failed test 103
96 Details : RHEL mis-interpret setfacl "-X" param, so we won't test setfacl

113 * Support for kernels:
114 2.6.5-7.283 (SLES 9),
115 2.6.9-55.EL (RHEL 4),
116 2.6.16.46-0.14 (SLES 10),
117 2.6.18.8 vanilla (kernel.org)
118 * Client support for unpatched kernels:
119 (see http://wiki.lustre.org/index.php?title=Patchless_Client)
120 2.6.16 - 2.6.22 vanilla (kernel.org)
121 * Due to recently discovered recovery problems, we do not recommend
122 using patchless RHEL 4 clients with this or any earlier release.
123 * Recommended e2fsprogs version: 1.39.cfs8
124 * Note that reiserfs quotas are disabled on SLES 10 in this kernel.
125 * Starting with this release, the ldiskfs backing filesystem required
126 by Lustre is now in its own package, lustre-ldiskfs. This package
127 should be installed. It is versioned separately from Lustre and
128 may be released separately in future.
132 Description: block reactivating mgc import until all deactivates complete
133 Details : Fix race when failing back MDT/MGS to itself (testing)
135 Severity : enhancement
137 Description: add optional extra BUILD_VERSION info
138 Details : add a new environment variable (namely LUSTRE_VERS) which allows
139 to override the lustre version.
142 Frequency : 2.6.18 servers only
144 Description: ll_kern_mount() doesn't release the module reference
145 Details : The ldiskfs module reference count never drops down to 0
146 because ll_kern_mount() doesn't release the module reference.
151 Description: server LBUG when using old ost_num_threads parameter
152 Details : Accept the old ost_num_threads parameter but warn that it
153 is deprecated, and fix an off-by-one error that caused an LBUG.
158 Description: Transient SCSI error results in persistent IO issue
159 Details : iobuf->dr_error is not reinitialized to 0 between two
163 Frequency : sometimes when underlying device returns I/O errors
165 Description: OSTs not going read-only during write failures
166 Details : OSTs are not remounted read-only when the journal commit threads
167 get I/O errors because fsfilt_ext3 calls journal_start/stop()
168 instead of the ext3 wrappers.
172 Description: poor connect scaling with increasing client count
173 Details : Don't run filter_grant_sanity_check for more than 100 exports
174 to improve scaling for large numbers of clients.
177 Frequency : SLES10 only
179 Description: sanity-quota.sh quotacheck failed: rc = -22
180 Details : Quotas cannot be enabled on SLES10.
183 Frequency : liblustre clients only
185 Description: getdirentries does not give error when run on compute nodes
186 Details : getdirentries does not fail when the size specified as an argument
187 is too small to contain at least one entry
189 Severity : enhancement
191 Description: Add LNET router traceability for debug purposes
192 Details : If a checksum failure occurs with a router as part of the
193 IO path, the NID of the last router that forwarded the bulk data
194 is printed so it can be identified.
199 Description: OST "spontaneously" evicts client; client has imp_pingable == 0
200 Details : Due to a race condition, liblustre clients were occasionally
203 Severity : enhancement
205 Description: lfs setstripe use optional parameters instead of postional
208 Severity : enhancement
210 Description: Nanosecond timestamp support for ldiskfs
211 Details : The on-disk ldiskfs filesystem has added support for nanosecond
212 resolution timestamps. There is not yet support for this at
213 the Lustre filesystem level.
216 Frequency : during server recovery
218 Description: MDS failing to send precreate requests due to OSCC_FLAG_RECOVERING
219 Details : request with rq_no_resend flag not awake l_wait_event if they get a
223 Frequency : nfs export on patchless client
225 Description: connectathon hang when test nfs export over patchless client
226 Details : Disconnected dentry cannot be found with lookup, so we do not need
227 to unhash it or make it invalid
230 Description: fix llapi_lov_get_uuids() to allow many OSTs to be returned
231 Details: : Change llapi_lov_get_uuids() to read the UUIDs from /proc instead
232 of using an ioctl. This allows lfsck for > 160 OSTs to succeed.
237 Description: open req refcounting wrong on reconnect
238 Details : If reconnect happened between getting open reply from server and
239 call to mdc_set_replay_data in ll_file_open, we will schedule
240 replay for unreferenced request that we are about to free.
241 Subsequent close will crash in variety of ways.
242 Check that request is still eligible for replay in
243 mdc_set_replay_data().
248 Description: disable writes to filesystem when reading health_check file
249 Details : the default for reading the health_check proc file has changed
250 to NOT do a journal transaction and write to disk, because this
251 can cause reads of the /proc file to hang and block HA state
252 checking on a healthy but otherwise heavily loaded system. It
253 is possible to return to the previous behaviour during configure
254 with --enable-health-write.
256 Severity : enhancement
258 Description: 64-bit inode version
259 Details: : Add a on-disk 64-bit inode version for ext3 to track changes made
260 to the inode. This will be required for version-based recovery.
265 Description: MDS fails to start if a duplicate client export is detected
266 Details : in some rare cases it was possible for a client to connect to
267 an MDS multiple times. Upon recovery the MDS would detect this
268 and fail during startup. Handle this more gracefully.
270 Severity : enhancement
272 Description: Add -o localflock option to simulate old noflock
274 Details : This will achieve local-only flock/fcntl locks
280 Description: log_commit_thread vs filter_destroy race leads to crash
281 Details : Take import reference before releasing llog record semaphore
286 Description: Wrong request locking in request set processing
287 Details : ptlrpc_check_set wrongly uses req->rq_lock for proctect add to
288 imp_delayed_list, in this place should be used imp_lock.
291 Frequency : when reconnection
293 Description: Grant Leak when osc reconnect to OST
294 Details : When osc reconnect ost, OST(filter) should check whether it
295 should grant more space to client by comparing fed_grant and
296 cl_avail_grant, and return the granted space to client instead
297 of "new granted" space, because client will call osc_init_grant
298 to update the client grant space info.
301 Frequency : when client reconnect to OST
303 Description: Grant Leak when osc do resend and replay bulk write
304 Details : When osc reconnect to OST, OST(filter)should clear grant info of
305 bulk write request, because the grant info while be sync between
306 OSC and OST when reconnect, and we should ignore the grant info
307 these of resend/replay write req.
312 Description: Grant space more than avaiable left space sometimes.
313 Details : When then OST is about to be full, if two bulk writing from
314 different clients came to OST. Accord the avaliable space of the
315 OST, the first req should be permitted, and the second one
316 should be denied by ENOSPC. But if the seconde arrived before
317 the first one is commited. The OST might wrongly permit second
318 writing, which will cause grant space > avaiable space.
321 Frequency : when client is evicted
323 Description: Grant might be wrongly erased when osc is evicted by OST
324 Details : when the import is evicted by server, it will fork another
325 thread ptlrpc_invalidate_import_thread to invalidate the
326 import, where the grant will be set to 0. While the original
327 thread will update the grant it got when connecting. So if
328 the former happened latter, the grant will be wrongly errased
329 because of this race.
334 Description: Checking Stale with correct fid
335 Details : ll_revalidate_it should uses de_inode instead of op_data.fid2
336 to check whether it is stale, because sometimes, we want the
337 enqueue happened anyway, and op_data.fid2 will not be initialized.
339 Severity : enhancement
341 Description: update patchless client
342 Details : Add support for patchless client with 2.6.20, 2.6.21 and RHEL 5
345 Frequency : only with 2.4 kernel
347 Description: random memory corruption
348 Details : size of struct ll_inode_info is to big for union inode.u and this
349 can be cause of random memory corruption.
354 Description: Memory leak in recovery
355 Details : Lov_mds_md was not free in an error handler in mds_create_object.
356 It should also check obd_fail before fsfilt_start, otherwise if
357 fsfilt_start return -EROFS,(failover mds during mds recovery).
358 then the req will return with repmsg->transno = 0 and rc = EROFS.
359 and we met hit the assert LASSERT(req->rq_reqmsg->transno ==
360 req->rq_repmsg->transno) in ptlrpc_replay_interpret. Fcc should
361 be freed no matter whether fsfilt_commit success or not.
364 Frequency : only with huge count clients
366 Description: Prevents from taking the superblock lock in llap_from_page for
368 Details : using LL_ORIGIN_REMOVEPAGE origin flag instead of LL_ORIGIN_UNKNOW
369 for llap_from_page call in ll_removepage prevents from taking the
370 superblock lock for a soon died page.
375 Description: Not check open intent error before release open handle
376 Details : in some rare cases, the open intent error is not checked before
377 release open handle, which may cause
378 ASSERTION(open_req->rq_transno != 0), because it tries to release
379 the failed open handle.
384 Description: Set cat log bitmap only after create log success.
385 Details : in some rare cases, the cat log bitmap is set too early. and it
386 should be set only after create log success.
390 Description: Accessing a block bevice can re-enable I/O when Lustre is
391 tearing down a device.
392 Details : dev_clear_rdonly(bdev) must be called in kill_bdev() instead of
397 Description: service threads may hog cpus when there are a lot of requests
399 Details : Insert cond_resched to give other threads a chance to use some of
405 Description: the cat log was not initialized in recovery
406 Details : When mds(mgs) do recovery, the tgt_count might be zero, so the
407 unlink log on mds will not be initialized until mds post
408 recovery. And also in mds post recovery, the unlink log will
409 initialization will be done asynchronausly, so there will be race
410 between add unlink log and unlink log initialization.
414 Description: brw_stats were being printed incorrectly
415 Details : brw_stats were being printed as log2 but all of them were not
416 recorded as log2. Also remove some code duplication arising from
417 filter_tally_{read,write}.
421 Frequency : rare, only in recovery.
422 Description: ASSERTION(req->rq_type != LI_POISON) failed
423 Details : imp_lock should be held while iterating over imp_sending_list for
424 prevent destroy request after get timeout in ptlrpc_queue_wait.
428 Description: replay-single.sh test 52 fails
429 Details : A lock's skiplist need to be cleanup when it being unlinked
430 from its resource list.
434 Description: Short directio read returns full requested size rather than
436 Details : Direct I/O operations should return actual amount of bytes
437 transferred rather than requested size.
439 Severity : enhancement
441 Description: metadata RPC reduction (e.g. for rm performance)
442 Details : decrease the amount of synchronous RPC between clients and servers
443 by canceling conflicing lock before the operation on the client side
444 and packing thier handles into the main operation RPC to server.

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

472 * CONFIGURATION CHANGE. This version of Lustre WILL NOT
473 INTEROPERATE with older versions automatically. In many cases a
474 special upgrade step is needed. Please read the
475 user documentation before upgrading any part of a live system.
476 * WIRE PROTOCOL CHANGE from previous 1.6 beta versions. This
477 version will not interoperate with 1.6 betas before beta5 (1.5.95).
478 * WARNING: Lustre configuration and startup changes are required with
479 this release. See https://mail.clusterfs.com/wikis/lustre/MountConf
484 Severity : enhancement
486 Description: MountConf
487 Details : Lustre configuration is now managed via mkfs and mount
488 commands instead of lmc and lconf. New obd types (MGS, MGC)
489 are added for dynamic configuration management. See
490 https://mail.clusterfs.com/wikis/lustre/MountConf for
493 Severity : enhancement
495 Description: dynamic OST addition
496 Details : OSTs can now be added to a live filesystem
498 Severity : enhancement
500 Description: startup order invariance
501 Details : MDTs and OSTs can be started in any order. Clients only
502 require the MDT to complete startup.
504 Severity : enhancement
506 Description: parallel, asynchronous orphan cleanup
507 Details : orphan cleanup is now performed in separate threads for each
508 OST, allowing parallel non-blocking operation.
510 Severity : enhancement
512 Description: optimized stripe assignment
513 Details : stripe assignments are now made based on ost space available,
514 ost previous usage, and OSS previous usage, in order to try
515 to optimize storage space and networking resources.
517 Severity : enhancement
519 Description: Permanently set tunables
520 Details : All writable /proc/fs/lustre tunables can now be permanently
521 set on a per-server basis, at mkfs time or on a live
524 Severity : enhancement
526 Description: Lustre message v2
527 Details : Add lustre message format v2.
529 Severity : enhancement
531 Description: client OST exclusion list
532 Details : Clients can be started with a list of OSTs that should be
533 declared "inactive" for known non-responsive OSTs.
537 Description: SPEC SFS validation failure on NFS v2 over lustre.
538 Details : Changes the blocksize for regular files to be 2x RPC size,
539 and not depend on stripe size.
541 Severity : enhancement
543 Description: Multiple MD RPCs in flight.
544 Details : Further unserialise some read-only MDS RPCs - learn about intents.
545 To avoid overly-overloading MDS, introduce a limit on number of
546 MDS RPCs in flight for a single client and add /proc controls
547 to adjust this limit.
549 Severity : enhancement
551 Description: client read/write statistics
552 Details : Add client read/write call usage stats for performance
553 analysis of user processes.
554 /proc/fs/lustre/llite/*/offset_stats shows non-sequential
555 file access. extents_stats shows chunk size distribution.
556 extents_stats_per_process show chunk size distribution per
559 Severity : enhancement
561 Description: mds statistics
562 Details : Add detailed mds operations statistics in
563 /proc/fs/lustre/mds/*/stats.
567 Description: Failure of copying files with lustre special EAs.
568 Details : Client side always return success for setxattr call for lustre
569 special xattr (currently only "trusted.lov").
574 Description: Refcount LNET uuids
575 Details : The global LNET uuid list grew linearly with every startup;
576 refcount repeated list entries instead of always adding to
579 Severity : enhancement
581 Description: Dynamic service threads
582 Details : Within a small range, start extra service threads
583 automatically when the request queue builds up.
586 Frequency : mixed-endian client/server environments
588 Description: mixed-endian crashes
589 Details : The new msg_v2 system had some failures in mixed-endian
592 Severity : enhancement
594 Description: Easy OST removal
595 Details : OSTs can be permanently deactivated with e.g. 'lctl
596 conf_param lustre-OST0001.osc.active=0'
598 Severity : enhancement
600 Description: MGS proc entries
601 Details : Added basic proc entries for the MGS showing what filesystems
604 Severity : enhancement
606 Description: provide MGS failover
607 Details : Added config lock reacquisition after MGS server failover.
609 Severity : enhancement
611 Description: add Linux 2.4 support
612 Details : Added support for RHEL 2.4.21 kernel for 1.6 servers and clients
616 Description: a large application tries to do I/O to the same resource and dies
618 Details : Check the req->rq_arrival time after the call to
619 ost_brw_lock_get(), but before we do anything about
620 processing it & sending the BULK transfer request. This
621 should help move old stale pending locks off the queue as
622 quickly as obd_timeout.
625 Frequency : when an incorrect nid is specified during startup
627 Description: ptlrpc connect to non-existant node causes kernel crash
628 Details : LNET can't be re-entered from an event callback, which
629 happened when we expire a message after the export has been
630 cleaned up. Instead, hand the zombie cleanup off to another
633 Severity : enhancement
635 Description: plain/inodebits lock performance improvement
636 Details : Grouping plain/inodebits in granted list by their request modes
637 and bits policy, thus improving the performance of search through
641 Frequency : only if OST filesystem is corrupted
643 Description: client incorrectly hits assertion in ptlrpc_replay_req()
644 Details : for a short time RPCs with bulk IO are in the replay list,
645 but replay of bulk IOs is unimplemented. If the OST filesystem
646 is corrupted due to disk cache incoherency and then replay is
647 started it is possible to trip an assertion. Avoid putting
648 committed RPCs into the replay list at all to avoid this issue.
651 Frequency : liblustre (e.g. catamount) on a large cluster with >= 8 OSTs/OSS
653 Description: System hang on startup
654 Details : This bug allowed the liblustre (e.g. catamount) client to
655 return to the app before handling all startup RPCs. This
656 could leave the node unresponsive to lustre network traffic
657 and manifested as a server ptllnd timeout.
659 Severity : enhancement
661 Description: Add "/proc/sys/lustre/debug_peer_on_timeout"
662 Details : liblustre envirable: LIBLUSTRE_DEBUG_PEER_ON_TIMEOUT
663 boolean to control whether to print peer debug info when a
664 client's RPC times out.
667 Frequency : only for kernels with patches from Lustre below 1.4.3
669 Description: Remove old rdonly API
670 Details : Remove old rdonly API which unused from at least lustre 1.4.3
673 Frequency : only for devices with external journals
675 Description: Set external device read-only also
676 Details : During a commanded failover stop, we set the disk device
677 read-only while the server shuts down. We now also set any
678 external journal device read-only at the same time.
681 Frequency : when upgrading from 1.4 while trying to change parameters
683 Description: The wrong (new) MDC name was used when setting parameters for
684 upgraded MDT's. Also allows changing of OSC (and MDC)
685 parameters if --writeconf is specified at tunefs upgrade time.
688 Frequency : when setting specific ost indicies
690 Description: QOS code breaks on skipped indicies
691 Details : Add checks for missing OST indicies in the QOS code, so OSTs
692 created with --index need not be sequential.
694 Severity : enhancement
696 Description: Add uninit_groups feature to ldiskfs2 to speed up e2fsck
697 Details : The uninit_groups feature works in conjunction with the kernel
698 filesystem code (ldiskfs2 only) and e2fsprogs-1.39-cfs6 to speed
699 up the pass1 processing of e2fsck. This is a read-only feature
700 in ldiskfs2 only, so older kernels and current ldiskfs cannot
701 mount filesystems that have had this feature enabled.
703 Severity : enhancement
705 Description: Improve multi-block allocation algorithm to avoid fragmentation
706 Details : The mballoc3 code (ldiskfs2 only) adds new mechanisms to improve
707 allocation locality and avoid filesystem fragmentation.

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

909 * Support for kernels:
910 2.6.9-42.0.3.EL (RHEL 4)
912 2.4.21-47.0.1.EL (RHEL 3)
913 2.6.12.6 vanilla (kernel.org)
914 2.6.16.21-0.8 (SLES10)
915 * Recommended e2fsprogs version: 1.39.cfs2-0
917 * The backwards-compatible /proc/sys/portals symlink has been removed
918 in this release. Before upgrading, please ensure that you change
919 any configuration scripts or /etc/sysctl.conf files that access
920 /proc/sys/portals/* or sysctl portals.* to use the corresponding
921 entry in /proc/sys/lnet or sysctl lnet.*. This change can be made
922 in advance of the upgrade on any system running Lustre 1.4.6 or
923 newer, since /proc/sys/lnet was added in that version.
924 * Note that reiserfs quotas are disabled on SLES 10 in this kernel
928 Frequency : only when quota is used
930 Description: avoid scanning export list for quota master
931 Details : Change the algorithms to avoid scanning export list in order
932 to improve the efficiency.
935 Frequency : MDS failover only, very rarely
937 Description: "went back in time" messages on mds failover
938 Details : The greatest transno may be lost when the current operation
939 finishes with an error (transno==0) and the client's last_rcvd
940 record is over-written. Save the greatest transno in the
941 mds_last_transno for this case.
944 Frequency : always for specific kernels and striping counts
946 Description: client may get "Matching packet too big" without ACL support
947 Details : Clients compiled without CONFIG_FS_POSIX_ACL get an error message
948 when trying to access files in certain configurations. The
949 clients should in fact be denied when mounting because they do
953 Frequency : Cray XT3 with more than 4000 clients and multiple jobs
955 Description: many clients connecting with IO in progress causes connect timeouts
956 Details : Avoid synchronous journal commits to avoid delays caused by many
957 clients connecting/disconnecting when bulk IO is in progress.
958 Queue liblustre connect requests on OST_REQUEST_PORTAL instead of
959 OST_IO_PORTAL to avoid delays behind potentially many pending
963 Frequency : occasionally with multiple writers to a single file
965 Description: shared writes to file may result in wrong size reported by stat()
966 Details : Allow growing of kms when extent lock is cancelled
969 Frequency : always with random mmap IO to multi-striped file
971 Description: mmap write might be lost if we are writing to a 'hole' in stripe
972 Details : Only if the hole is at the end of OST object so that kms is too
973 small. Fix is to increase kms accordingly in ll_nopage.
976 Frequency : rare, only if OST filesystem is inconsistent with MDS filesystem
978 Description: writes to a missing object would leak memory on the OST
979 Details : If there is an inconsistency between the MDS and OST filesystems,
980 such that the MDS references an object that doesn't exist, writes
981 to that object will leak memory due to incorrect cleanup in the
982 error handling path, eventually running out of memory on the OST.
987 Description: Creating too long symlink causes lustre errors
988 Details : Check symlink and name lengths before sending requests to MDS.
991 Frequency : only if flock is enabled (not on by default)
993 Description: posix locks not released on fd closure on 2.6.9+
994 Details : We failed to add posix locks to list of inode locks on 2.6.9+
995 kernels, this caused such locks not to be released on fd close and
996 then assertions on fs unmount about still used locks.
999 Frequency : MDS failover only, very rarely
1001 Description: clients may get ASSERTION(granted_lock != NULL)
1002 Details : When request was taking a long time, and a client was resending
1003 a getattr by name lock request. The were multiple lock requests
1004 with the same client lock handle and
1005 mds_getattr_name->fixup_handle_for_resent_request found one of the
1006 lock handles but later failed with ASSERTION(granted_lock != NULL).
1011 Description: handle->h_buffer_credits > 0, assertion failure
1012 Details : h_buffer_credits is zero after truncate, causing assertion
1013 failure. This patch extends the transaction or creates a new
1017 Frequency : NFS re-export or patchless client
1018 Bugzilla : 11179, 10796
1019 Description: Crash on NFS re-export node (__d_move)
1020 Details : We do not want to hash the dentry if we don't have a lock.
1021 But if this dentry is later used in d_move, we'd hit uninitialised
1022 list head d_hash, so we just do this to init d_hash field but
1023 leave dentry unhashed.
1026 Frequency : NFS re-export or patchless client
1028 Description: NFS exports has problem with symbolic link
1029 Details : lustre client didn't properly install dentry when re-exported
1030 to NFS or running patchless client.
1033 Frequency : NFS re-export or patchless client
1035 Description: Various nfs/patchless fixes.
1036 Details : fixes reuse disconected alias for lookup process - this fixes
1037 warning "find_exported_dentry: npd != pd",
1038 fix permission error with open files at nfs.
1039 fix apply umask when do revalidate.
1042 Frequency : occasional
1044 Description: Crash on NFS re-export node
1045 Details : calling clear_page() on the wrong pointer triggered oops in
1046 generic_mapping_read().
1049 Frequency : rarely, using O_DIRECT IO
1051 Description: unaligned directio crashes client with LASSERT
1052 Details : check for unaligned buffers before trying any requests.
1055 Frequency : rarely, using CFS RAID5 patches in non-standard kernel series
1057 Description: stale data returned from RAID cache
1058 Details : If only a small amount of IO is done to the RAID device before
1059 reading it again it is possible to get stale data from the RAID
1060 cache instead of reading it from disk.
1063 Frequency : always for sles10 kernel
1065 Description: sles10 support
1066 Details : ll_follow_link: compile fixes and using of nd_set_link
1067 under newer kernels.
1070 Frequency : depends on arch, kernel and compiler version, always on sles10
1073 Description: recursive or deep enough symlinks cause stack overflow
1074 Details : getting rid of large stack-allocated variable in
1078 Frequency : depends on hardware
1080 Description: lustre write performance loss in the SLES10 kernel
1081 Details : the performance loss is caused by using of write barriers in the
1082 ext3 code. The SLES10 kernel turns barrier support on by
1083 default. The fix is to undo that change for ldiskfs.
1085 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1087 2006-12-09 Cluster File Systems, Inc. <info@clusterfs.com>
1089 * Support for kernels:
1090 2.6.9-42.0.3EL (RHEL 4)
1091 2.6.5-7.276 (SLES 9)
1092 2.4.21-47.0.1.EL (RHEL 3)
1093 2.6.12.6 vanilla (kernel.org)
1097 Frequency : quota enabled and large files being deleted
1099 Description: releasing more than 4GB of quota at once hangs OST
1100 Details : If a user deletes more than 4GB of files on a single OST it
1101 will cause the OST to spin in an infinite loop. Release
1102 quota in < 4GB chunks, or use a 64-bit value for 1.4.7.1+.
1107 Description: statfs data retrieved from /proc may be stale or zero
1108 Details : When reading per-device statfs data from /proc, in the
1109 {kbytes,files}_{total,free,avail} files, it may appear
1110 as zero or be out of date.
1113 Frequency : systems with MD RAID1 external journal devices
1115 Description: lconf's call to blkid is confused by RAID1 journal devices
1116 Details : Use the "blkid -l" flag to locate the MD RAID device instead
1117 of returning all block devices that match the journal UUID.
1120 Frequency : always, for aggregate stripe size over 4GB
1122 Description: "lfs setstripe" fails assertion when setting 4GB+ stripe width
1123 Details : Using "lfs setstripe" to set stripe size * stripe count over 4GB
1124 will fail the kernel with "ASSERTION(lsm->lsm_xfersize != 0)"
1127 Frequency : always if "lfs find" used on a local file/directory
1129 Description: "lfs find" segfaults if used on a local file/directory
1130 Details : The case where a directory component was not specified wasn't
1131 handled correctly. Handle this properly.
1134 Frequency : always on ppc64
1136 Description: the write to an ext3 filesystem mounted with mballoc got stuck
1137 Details : ext3_mb_generate_buddy() uses find_next_bit() which does not
1138 perform endianness conversion.
1141 Frequency : rarely (truncate to non-zero file size after write under load)
1142 Bugzilla : 10730, 10687
1143 Description: Files padded with zeros to next 4K multiple
1144 Details : With filesystems mounted using the "extents" option (2.6 kernels)
1145 it is possible that files that are truncated to a non-zero size
1146 immediately after being written are filled with zero bytes beyond
1147 the truncated size. No file data is lost.
1149 Severity : enhancement
1151 Description: Allow recovery/failover for liblustre clients.
1152 Details : liblustre clients were unaware of failover configurations until
1155 Severity : enhancement
1157 Description: user file locks should fail when not mounting with flock option
1158 Details : Set up an error-returning stub in ll_file_operations.lock field
1159 to prevent incorrect behaviour when client is mounted without
1160 flock option. Also, set up properly f_op->flock field for
1164 Frequency : always on ia64
1166 Description: "lfs df" loops on printing out MDS statfs information
1167 Details : The obd_ioctl_data was not initialized and in some systems
1168 this caused a failure during the ioctl that did not return
1169 an error. Initialize the struct and return an error on failure.
1172 Frequency : SLES 9 only
1174 Description: Error of copying files with lustre special EAs as root
1175 Details : Client side always return success for setxattr call for lustre
1176 special xattr (currently only "trusted.lov").
1179 Frequency : rarely on clusters with both ia64+i386 clients
1181 Description: ia64+i686 clients doing shared IO on the same file may LBUG
1182 Details : In rare cases when both ia64+i686 (or other mixed-PAGE_SIZE)
1183 clients are doing concurrent writes to the same file it is
1184 possible that the ia64 clients may LASSERT because the OST
1185 extent locks are not PAGE_SIZE aligned. Ensure that grown
1186 locks are always aligned on the request boundary.
1189 Frequency : specific use, occasional
1191 Description: Overwriting in use executable truncates on-disk binary image
1192 Details : If one node attempts to overwrite an executable in use by
1193 another node, we now correctly return ETXTBSY instead of
1194 truncating the file.
1196 Severity : enhancement
1198 Description: Async OSC create to avoid the blocking unnecessarily.
1199 Details : If a OST has no remain object, system will block on the creating
1200 when need to create a new object on this OST. Now, ways use
1201 pre-created objects when available, instead of blocking on an
1202 empty osc while others are not empty. If we must block, we block
1203 for the shortest possible period of time.
1208 Description: chmod on Lustre root is propagated to other clients
1209 Details : Re-validate root's dentry in ll_lookup_it to avoid having it
1210 invalid by the follow_mount time.
1213 Frequency : liblustre clients only
1215 Description: Race in 'instant cancel' lock handling could lead to such locks
1216 never to be granted in case of SMP MDS
1217 Details : Do not destroy not yet granted but cbpending locks in
1221 Frequency : replay/resend of open
1223 Description: non null lock assetion failure in mds_intent_policy
1224 Details : Trying to replay/resend lockless open requests resulted in
1225 mds_open() returning 0 with no lock. Now it sets a flag if
1226 a lock is going to be returned.
1228 Severity : enhancement
1230 Description: Checksum enhancements
1231 Details : New checksum enhancements allow for resending RPCs that failed
1234 Severity : enhancement
1236 Description: Tunables on number of dirty pages in cacche
1237 Details : Allow to set limit on number of dirty pages cached.
1242 Description: client crash on unmount - lock still has references
1243 Details : In some error handling cases it was possible to leak a lock
1244 reference on a client while accessing a file. This was not
1245 harmful to the client during operation, but would cause the
1246 client to crash when the filesystem is unmounted.
1249 Frequency : specific case, rare
1251 Description: ETXTBSY on mds though file not in use by client
1252 Details : ETXTBSY is no longer incorrectly returned when attempting to
1253 chmod or chown a directory that the user previously tried to
1254 execute or a currently-executing binary.
1257 Frequency : extremely rare except on liblustre-based clients
1259 Description: Lustre space not freed when files are deleted
1260 Details : Clean up open-unlinked files after client eviction. Previously
1261 the unlink was skipped and the files remained as orphans.
1266 Description: OST failure "would be an LBUG" in waiting_locks_callback()
1267 Details : In some cases it was possible to send a blocking callback to
1268 a client doing a glimpse, even though that client didn't get
1269 a lock granted. When the glimpse lock is cancelled on the OST
1270 the freed lock is left on the waiting list and corrupted the list.
1273 Frequency : all core dumps
1275 Description: Broke core dumps to lustre
1276 Details : Negative dentry may be unhashed if parent does not have UPDATE
1277 lock, but some callers, e.g. do_coredump, expect dentry to be
1278 hashed after successful create, hash it in ll_create_it.

1292 Frequency : always on RHEL 3
1294 Description: Number of open files grows over time
1295 Details : The number of open files grows over time, whether or not
1296 Lustre is started. This was due to a filp leak introduced
1297 by one of our kernel patches.

1307 2.6.12.6 vanilla (kernel.org)
1312 Bugzilla : 5719, 9635, 9792, 9684
1313 Description: OST (or MDS) trips assertions in (re)connection under heavy load
1314 Details : If a server is under heavy load and cannot reply to new
1315 connection requests before the client resends the (re)connect,
1316 the connection handling code can behave badly if two service
1317 threads are concurrently handing separate (re)connections from
1318 the same client. Add better locking to the connection handling
1319 code, and ensure that only a single connection will be processed
1320 for a given client UUID, even if the lock is dropped.
1322 Severity : enhancement
1324 Description: add TCP zero-copy support to kernel
1325 Details : Add support to the kernel TCP stack to allow zero-copy bulk
1326 sends if the hardware supports scatter-gather and checksumming.
1327 This allows socklnd to do client-write and server-read more
1328 efficiently and reduce CPU utilization from skbuf copying.
1331 Frequency : only if NFS exporting from client
1333 Description: NULL pointer deref in ll_iocontrol() if chattr mknod file
1334 Details : If setting attributes on a file created under NFS that had
1335 never been opened it would be possible to oops the client
1336 if the file had no objects.
1339 Frequency : always for liblustre
1341 Description: liblustre client does MDS+OSTs setattr RPC for each write
1342 Details : When doing a write from a liblustre client, the client
1343 incorrectly issued an RPC to the MDS and each OST the file was
1344 striped over in order to update the timestamps. When writing
1345 with small chunks and many clients this could overwhelm the MDS
1346 with RPCs. In all cases it would slow down the write because
1347 these RPCs are unnecessary.
1349 Severity : enhancement
1351 Description: allow number of MDS service threads to be changed at module load
1352 Details : It is now possible to change the number of MDS service threads
1353 running. Adding "options mds mds_num_threads={N}" to the MDS's
1354 /etc/modprobe.conf will set the number of threads for the next
1355 time Lustre is restarted (assuming the "mds" module is also
1356 reloaded at that time). The default number of threads will
1357 stay the same, 32 for most systems.
1362 Description: OST crash if filesystem is unformatted or corrupt
1363 Details : If an OST is started on a device that has never been formatted
1364 or if the filesystem is corrupt and cannot even mount then the
1365 error handling cleanup routines would dereference a NULL pointer.
1370 Description: NULL pointer deref in llap_from_page.
1371 Details : get_cache_page_nowait can return a page with NULL (or otherwise
1372 incorrect) mapping if the page was truncated/reclaimed while it was
1373 searched for. Check for this condition and skip such pages when
1374 doing readahead. Introduce extra check to llap_from_page() to
1375 verify page->mapping->host is non-NULL (so page is not anonymous).
1378 Frequency : Sometimes when using sys_sendfile
1380 Description: "page not covered by a lock" warnings from ll_readpage
1381 Details : sendfile called ll_readpage without right page locks present.
1382 Now we introduced ll_file_sendfile that does necessary locking
1383 around call to generic_file_sendfile() much like we do in
1387 Frequency : with certain MDS communication failures at client mount time
1389 Description: NULL pointer deref after failed client mount
1390 Details : a client connection request may delayed by the network layer
1391 and not be sent until after the PTLRPC layer has timed out the
1392 request. If the client fails the mount immediately it will try
1393 to clean up before the network times out the request. Add a
1394 reference from the request import to the obd device and delay
1395 the cleanup until the network drops the request.
1398 Frequency : occasionally during client (re)connect
1400 Description: assertion failure during client (re)connect
1401 Details : processing a client connection request may be delayed by the
1402 client or server longer than the client connect timeout. This
1403 causes the client to resend the connection request. If the
1404 original connection request is replied in this interval, the
1405 client may trip an assertion failure in ptlrpc_connect_interpret()
1406 which thought it would be the only running connect process.
1409 Frequency : only with obd_echo servers and clients that are rebooted
1411 Description: kernel BUG accessing uninitialized data structure
1412 Details : When running an obd_echo server it did not start the ping_evictor
1413 thread, and when a client was evicted an uninitialized data
1414 structure was accessed. Start the ping_evictor in the RPC
1415 service startup instead of the OBD startup.
1417 Severity : enhancement
1418 Bugzilla : 10193 (patchless)
1419 Description: Remove dependency on various unexported kernel interfaces.
1420 Details : No longer need reparent_to_init, exit_mm, exit_files,
1421 sock_getsockopt, filemap_populate, FMODE_EXEC, put_filp.
1424 Frequency : rare (only users of deprecated and unsupported LDAP config)
1426 Description: write_conf for zeroconf mount queried LDAP incorrectly for client
1427 Details : LDAP apparently contains 'lustreName' attributes instead of
1428 'name'. A simple remapping of the name is sufficient.
1431 Frequency : rare (only with non-default dump_on_timeout debug enabled)
1433 Description: waiting_locks_callback trips kernel BUG if client is evicted
1434 Details : Running with the dump_on_timeout debug flag turned on makes
1435 it possible that the waiting_locks_callback() can try to dump
1436 the Lustre kernel debug logs from an interrupt handler. Defer
1437 this log dumping to the expired_lock_main() thread.
1439 Severity : enhancement
1441 Description: Support NFS exporting on 2.6 kernels.
1442 Details : Implement non-rawops metadata methods for NFS server to use without
1443 changing NFS server code.
1446 Frequency : very rare (synthetic metadata workload only)
1448 Description: two racing renames might cause an MDS thread to deadlock
1449 Details : Running the "racer" program may cause one MDS thread to rename
1450 a file from being the source of a rename to being the target of
1451 a rename at exactly the same time that another thread is doing
1452 so, and the second thread has already enqueued these locks after
1453 doing a lookup of the target and is trying to relock them in
1454 order. Ensure that we don't try to re-lock the same resource.
1457 Frequency : only very large systems with liblustre clients
1459 Description: slow eviction of liblustre clients with the "evict_by_nid" RPC
1460 Details : Use asynchronous set_info RPCs to send the "evict_by_nid" to
1461 all OSTs in parallel. This allows the eviction of stale liblustre
1462 clients to proceed much faster than if they were done in series,
1463 and also offers similar improvements for other set_info RPCs.
1468 Description: excessive CPU usage during initial read phase on client
1469 Details : During the initial read phase on a client, it would agressively
1470 retry readahead on the file, consuming too much CPU and impacting
1471 performance (since 1.4.5.8). Improve the readahead algorithm
1472 to avoid this, and also improve some other common cases (read
1473 of small files in particular, where "small" is files smaller than
1474 /proc/fs/lustre/llite/*/max_read_ahead_whole_mb, 2MB by default).
1479 Description: MDS crash when receiving packet with unknown intent.
1480 Details : Do not LBUG in unknown intent case, just return -EFAULT
1482 Severity : enhancement
1483 Bugzilla : 9293, 9385
1484 Description: MDS RPCs are serialised on client. This is unnecessary for some.
1485 Details : Do not serialize getattr (non-intent version) and statfs.
1488 Frequency : occasional, when OST network is overloaded/intermittent
1490 Description: client evicted by OST after bulk IO timeout
1491 Details : If a client sends a bulk IO request (read or write) the OST
1492 may evict the client if it is unresposive to its data GET/PUT
1493 request. This is incorrect if the network is overloaded (takes
1494 too long to transfer the RPC data) or dropped the OST GET/PUT
1495 request. There is no need to evict the client at all, since
1496 the pinger and/or lock callbacks will handle this, and the
1497 client can restart the bulk request.
1500 Frequency : Always when mmapping file with no objects
1502 Description: client crashes when mmapping file with no objects
1503 Details : Check that we actually have objects in a file before doing any
1504 operations on objects in ll_vm_open, ll_vm_close and
1510 Description: Request leak when working with deleted CWD
1511 Details : Introduce advanced request refcount tracking for requests
1512 referenced from lustre intent.
1514 Severity : Enhancement
1516 Description: Cache open file handles on client.
1517 Details : MDS now will return special lock along with openhandle, if
1518 requested and client is allowed to hold openhandle, even if unused,
1519 until such a lock is revoked. Helps NFS a lot, since NFS is opening
1520 closing files for every read/write openration.
1522 Severity : Enhancement
1524 Description: Cache open negative dentries on client when possible.
1525 Details : Guard negative dentries with UPDATE lock on parent dir, drop
1526 negative dentries on lock revocation.
1531 Description: Remounting a client read-only wasn't possible with a zconf mount
1532 Details : It wasn't possible to remount a client read-only with llmount.
1534 Severity : enhancement
1535 Description: Include MPICH 1.2.6 Lustre ADIO interface patch
1536 Details : In lustre/contrib/ or /usr/share/lustre in RPM a patch for
1537 MPICH is included to add Lustre-specific ADIO interfaces.
1538 This is based closely on the UFS ADIO layer and only differs
1539 in file creation, in order to allow the OST striping to be set.
1540 This is user-contributed code and not supported by CFS.
1545 Description: extended inode attributes (immutable, append-only) work improperly
1546 when 2.4 and 2.6 kernels are used on client/server or vice versa
1547 Details : Introduce kernel-independent values for these flags.
1549 Severity : enhancement
1552 Description: Allow fractional MB tunings for lustre in /proc/ filesystem.
1553 Details : Many of the /proc/ tunables can only be tuned at a megabyte
1554 granularity. Now, Fractional MB granularity is be supported,
1555 this is very useful for low memory system.
1557 Severity : enhancement
1559 Description: Getattr by fid
1560 Details : Getting a file attributes by its fid, obtaining UPDATE|LOOKUP
1561 locks, avoids extra getattr rpc requests to MDS, allows '/' to
1562 have locks and avoids getattr rpc requests for it on every stat.
1565 Frequency : Always, for filesystems larger than 2TB
1567 Description: ldiskfs crash at mount for filesystem larger than 2TB with mballoc
1568 Details : Kenrel kmalloc limits allocations to 128kB and this prevents
1569 filesystems larger than 2TB to be mounted with mballoc enabled.
1572 Frequency : Always, for 32-bit kernel without CONFIG_LBD and filesystem > 2TB
1574 Description: ldiskfs crash at mount for filesystem larger than 2TB with mballoc
1575 Details : If a 32-bit kernel is compiled without CONFIG_LBD enabled and a
1576 filesystems larger than 2TB is mounted then the kernel will
1577 silently corrupt the start of the filesystem. CONFIG_LBD is
1578 enabled for all CFS-supported kernels, but the possibility of
1579 this happening with a modified kernel config exists.
1581 Severity : enhancement
1583 Description: add client O_DIRECT support for 2.6 kernels
1584 Details : It is now possible to do O_DIRECT reads and writes to files
1585 in the Lustre client mountpoint on 2.6 kernel clients.
1587 Severity : enhancement
1589 Description: parallel glimpse, setattr, statfs, punch, destroy requests
1590 Details : Sends glimpse, setattr, statfs, punch, destroy requests to OSTs in
1591 parallel, not waiting for response from every OST before sending
1592 a rpc to the next OST.
1597 Description: setattr vs write race when updating file timestamps
1598 Details : Client processes that update a file timestamp into the past
1599 right after writing to the file (e.g. tar) it is possible that
1600 the updated file modification time can be reset to the current
1601 time due to a race between processing the setattr and write RPC.
1603 Severity : enhancement
1605 Description: Bring 'lfs find' closer in line with regular Linux find.
1606 Details : lfs find util supports -atime, -mtime, -ctime, -maxdepth, -print,
1607 -print0 options and obtains all the needed info through the lustre
1610 Severity : enhancement
1612 Description: support up to 1024 configured devices on one node
1613 Details : change obd_dev array from statically allocated to dynamically
1614 allocated structs as they are first used to reduce memory usage
1619 Description: Flush dirty partially truncated pages during truncate
1620 Details : Immediatelly flush partially truncated pages in filter_setattr,
1621 this way we completely avoid having any pages in page cache on OST
1622 and can retire ugly workarounds during writes to flush such pages.
1627 Description: i_sem vs transaction deadlock in mds_obd_destroy during unlink.
1628 Details : protect inode from truncation within vfs_unlink() context
1629 just take a reference before calling vfs_unlink() and release it
1630 when parent's i_sem is free.
1635 Description: last_id value checked outside lock on OST caused LASSERT failure
1636 Details : If there were multiple MDS->OST object precreate requests in
1637 flight, it was possible that the OST's last object id was checked
1638 outside a lock and incorrectly tripped an assertion. Move checks
1639 inside locks, and discard old precreate requests.
1642 Frequency : always, if extents are used on OSTs
1644 Description: index ei_leaf_hi (48-bit extension) is not zeroed in extent index
1645 Details : OSTs using the extents format would not zero the high 16 bits of
1646 the index physical block number. This is not a problem for any
1647 OST filesystems smaller than 16TB, and no kernels support ext3
1648 filesystems larger than 16TB yet. This is fixed in 1.4.7 (all
1649 new/modified files) and can be fixed for existing filesystems
1650 with e2fsprogs-1.39-cfs1.
1655 Description: import connection selection may be incorrect if timer wraps
1656 Details : Using a 32-bit jiffies timer with HZ=1000 may cause backup
1657 import connections to be ignored if the 32-bit jiffies counter
1658 wraps. Use a 64-bit jiffies counter.
1661 Frequency : very large clusters immediately after boot
1663 Description: LNET request buffers exhausted under heavy short-term load
1664 Details : If a large number of client requests are generated on a service
1665 that has previously never seen so many requests it is possible
1666 that the request buffer growth cannot keep up with the spike in
1667 demand. Instead of dropping incoming requests, they are held in
1668 the LND until the RPC service can accept more requests.
1671 Frequency : Sometimes during replay
1673 Description: Assertion failure in ll_local_open after replay.
1674 Details : If replay happened on an open request reply before we were able
1675 to set replay handler, reply will become not swabbed tripping the
1676 assertion in ll_local_open. Now we set the handler right after
1677 recognising of open request
1680 Frequency : very rare
1682 Description: kernel reports "badness in vsnprintf"
1683 Details : Reading from the "recovery_status" /proc file in small chunks
1684 may cause a negative length in lprocfs_obd_rd_recovery_status()
1685 call to vsnprintf() (which is otherwise harmless). Exit early
1686 if there is no more space in the output buffer.
1688 Severity : enhancement
1690 Description: clear OBD RPC statistics by writing to them
1691 Details : It is now possible to clear the OBD RPC statistics by writing
1692 to the "stats" file.
1697 Description: Client mtime is not the same on different clients after utimes
1698 Details : In some cases, the client was using the utimes() syscall on
1699 a file cached on another node. The clients now validate the
1700 ctime from the MDS + OSTs to determine which one is right.
1705 Description: Inability to activate failout mode
1706 Details : lconf script incorrectly assumed that in pythong string's numeric
1707 value is used in comparisons.
1710 Frequency : always with multiple stripes per file
1712 Description: Inefficient object allocation for mutli-stripe files
1713 Details : When selecting which OSTs to stripe files over, for files with
1714 a stripe count that divides evenly into the number of OSTs,
1715 the MDS is always picking the same starting OST for each file.
1716 Return the OST selection heuristic to the original design.
1721 Description: mount failures may take full timeout to return an error
1722 Details : Under some heavy load conditions it is possible that a
1723 failed mount can wait for the full obd_timeout interval,
1724 possibly several minutes, before reporting an error.
1725 Instead return an error as soon as the status is known.
1727 Frequency : quota enabled and large files being deleted
1729 Description: releasing more than 4GB of quota at once hangs OST
1730 Details : If a user deletes more than 4GB of files on a single OST it
1731 will cause the OST to spin in an infinite loop. Release
1732 quota in < 4GB chunks, or use a 64-bit value for 1.4.7.1+.
1737 Description: statfs data retrieved from /proc may be stale or zero
1738 Details : When reading per-device statfs data from /proc, in the
1739 {kbytes,files}_{total,free,avail} files, it may appear
1740 as zero or be out of date.
1743 Frequency : systems with MD RAID1 external journal devices
1745 Description: lconf's call to blkid is confused by RAID1 journal devices
1746 Details : Use the "blkid -l" flag to locate the MD RAID device instead
1747 of returning all block devices that match the journal UUID.
1750 Frequency : always, for aggregate stripe size over 4GB
1752 Description: assertion fails when trying to use 4GB stripe size
1753 Details : Use "setstripe" to set stripe size over 4GB will fail the kernel,
1754 complaining "ASSERTION(lsm->lsm_xfersize != 0)"
1757 Frequency : always on ppc64
1759 Description: the first write on an ext3 filesystem with mballoc got stuck
1760 Details : ext3_mb_generate_buddy() uses find_next_bit() which does not
1761 perform endianness conversion.

1765 02-14-2006 Cluster File Systems, Inc. <info@clusterfs.com>
1767 * WIRE PROTOCOL CHANGE. This version of Lustre networking WILL NOT
1768 INTEROPERATE with older versions automatically. Please read the
1769 user documentation before upgrading any part of a live system.
1770 * WARNING: Lustre networking configuration changes are required with
1771 this release. See https://bugzilla.clusterfs.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10052
1774 * Support for kernels:
1775 2.6.9-22.0.2.EL (RHEL 4)
1776 2.6.5-7.244 (SLES 9)
1777 2.6.12.6 vanilla (kernel.org)
1780 Severity : enhancement
1781 Bugzilla : 7981/8208
1782 Description: Introduced Lustre Networking (LNET)
1783 Details : LNET is new networking infrastructure for Lustre, it includes
1784 a reorganized network configuration mode (see the user
1785 documentation for full details) as well as support for routing
1786 between different network fabrics. Lustre Networking Devices
1787 (LNDs) for the supported network fabrics have also been
1788 created for this new infrastructure.
1790 Severity : enhancement
1791 Description: Introduced Access control lists
1792 Details : clients can set ACLs on files and directories in order to have
1793 more fine-grained permissions than the standard Unix UGO+RWX.
1794 The MDS must be started with the "-o acl" mount option.
1796 Severity : enhancement
1797 Description: Introduced filesystem quotas
1798 Details : Administrators may now establish per-user quotas on the
1801 Severity : enhancement
1803 Description: Configuration change for the XT3
1804 The PTLLND is now used to run Lustre over Portals on the XT3
1805 The configure option(s) --with-cray-portals are no longer used.
1806 Rather --with-portals=<path-to-portals-includes> is used to
1807 enable building on the XT3. In addition to enable XT3 specific
1808 features the option --enable-cray-xt3 must be used.
1813 Description: Running on many-way SMP OSTs can trigger oops in llcd_send()
1814 Details : A race between allocating a new llcd and re-getting the llcd_lock
1815 allowed another thread to grab newly-allocated llcd.
1817 Severity : enhancement
1819 Description: 2.6 OST async journal commit and locking fix to improve performance
1820 Details : The filter_direct_io()+filter_commitrw_write() journal commits for
1821 2.6 kernels are now async as they already were in 2.4 kernels so
1822 that they can commit concurrently with the network bulk transfer.
1823 For block-allocated files the filter allocation semaphore is held
1824 to avoid filesystem fragmentation during allocation. BKL lock
1825 removed for 2.6 xattr operations where it is no longer needed.
1830 Description: lconf incorrectly determined whether two IP networks could talk
1831 Details : In some more complicated routing and multiple-network
1832 configurations, lconf will avoid trying to make a network
1833 connection to a disjoint part of the IP space. It was doing the
1834 math incorrectly for one set of cases.
1839 Description: Fix for potential infinite loop processing records in an llog.
1840 Details : If an llog record is corrupted/zeroed, it is possible to loop
1841 forever in llog_process(). Validate the llog record length
1842 and skip the remainder of the block on error.
1845 Frequency : occasional (liblustre only)
1847 Description: liblustre could not open files whose last component is a symlink
1848 Details : sysio_path_walk() would incorrectly pass the open intent to
1849 intermediate path components.
1852 Frequency : rare (liblustre only with non-standard tuning)
1853 Bugzilla : 7201 (7350)
1854 Description: Tuning the MDC DLM LRU size to zero triggers client LASSERT
1855 Details : llu_lookup_finish_locks() tries to set lock data on a lock
1856 after it has been released, only do this for referenced locks
1858 Severity : enhancement
1860 Description: specifying an (invalid) directory default stripe_size of -1
1861 would reset the directory default striping
1862 Details : stripe_size -1 was used internally to signal directory stripe
1863 removal, now use "all default" to signal dir stripe removal
1864 as a directory striping of "all default" is not useful
1867 Frequency : common for large clusters running liblustre clients
1869 Description: doing an ls when liblustre clients are running is slow
1870 Details : sending a glimpse AST to a liblustre client waits for every AST
1871 to time out, as liblustre clients will not respond. Since they
1872 cannot cache data we refresh the OST lock LVB from disk instead.
1874 Severity : enhancement
1876 Description: doing an ls at the same time as file IO can be slow
1877 Details : enqueue and other "small" requests can be blocked behind many
1878 large IO requests. Create a new OST IO portal for non-IO
1879 requests so they can be processed faster.
1882 Frequency : rare (only HPUX clients mounting unsupported re-exported NFS vol)
1884 Description: an HPUX NFS client would get -EACCESS when ftruncate()ing a newly
1885 created file with mode 000
1886 Details : the Linux NFS server relies on an MDS_OPEN_OWNEROVERRIDE hack to
1887 allow an ftruncate() as a non-root user to a file with mode 000.
1888 Lustre now respects this flag to disable mode checks when
1889 truncating a file owned by the user
1892 Frequency : liblustre-only, when liblustre client dies unexpectedly or becomes
1895 Description: Revoking locks from clients that went dead or catatonic might take
1897 Details : New lock flags FL_CANCEL_ON_BLOCK used by liblustre makes
1898 cancellation of such locks instant on servers without waiting for
1899 any reply from clients. Clients drops these locks when cancel
1900 notification from server is received without replying.
1903 Frequency : liblustre-only, when liblustre client dies or becomes busy
1905 Description: Doing ls on Linux clients can take a long time with active
1907 Details : Liblustre client cannot handle ASTs in timely manner, so avoid
1908 granting such locks to it in the first place if possible. Locks
1909 are taken by proxy on the OST during the read or write and
1910 dropped immediately afterward. Add connect flags handling, do
1911 not grant locks to liblustre clients for glimpse ASTs.
1913 Severity : enhancement
1915 Description: Improve read-ahead algorithm to avoid excessive IO for random reads
1916 Details : Existing read-ahead algorithm is tuned for the case of streamlined
1917 sequential reads and behaves badly with applications doing random
1918 reads. Improve it by reading ahead at least read region, and
1919 avoiding excessive large RPC for small reads.
1921 Severity : enhancement
1923 Description: Creating more than 1000 files for a single job may cause a load
1924 imbalance on the OSTs if there are also a large number of OSTs.
1925 Details : qos_prep_create() uses an OST index reseed value that is an
1926 even multiple of the number of available OSTs so that if the
1927 reseed happens in the middle of the object allocation it will
1928 still utilize the OSTs as uniformly as possible.
1933 Description: OST or MDS may oops in ping_evictor_main()
1934 Details : ping_evictor_main() drops obd_dev_lock if deleting a stale export
1935 but doesn't restart at beginning of obd_exports_timed list
1938 Severity : enhancement
1940 Description: improve by-nid export eviction on the MDS and OST
1941 Details : allow multiple exports with the same NID to be evicted at one
1942 time without re-searching the exports list.
1945 Frequency : rare, only with supplementary groups enabled on SMP 2.6 kernels
1947 Description: MDS may oops in groups_free()
1948 Details : in rare race conditions a newly allocated group_info struct is
1949 freed again, and this can be NULL. The 2.4 compatibility code
1950 for groups_free() checked for a NULL pointer, but 2.6 did not.
1953 Frequency : common for liblustre clients doing little filesystem IO
1954 Bugzilla : 9352, 7313
1955 Description: server may evict liblustre clients accessing contended locks
1956 Details : if a client is granted a lock or receives a completion AST
1957 with a blocking AST already set it would not reply to the AST
1958 for LDLM_FL_CANCEL_ON_BLOCK locks. It now replies to such ASTs.
1961 Frequency : lfs setstripe, only systems with more than 160 OSTs
1963 Description: unable to set striping with a starting offset beyond OST 160
1964 Details : llapi_create_file() incorrectly limited the starting stripe
1965 index to the maximum single-file stripe count.
1968 Frequency : LDAP users only
1970 Description: lconf did not handle in-kernel recovery with LDAP properly
1971 Details : lconf/LustreDB get_refs() is searching the wrong namespace
1973 Severity : enhancement
1975 Description: bind OST threads to NUMA nodes to improve performance
1976 Details : all OST threads are uniformly bound to CPUs on a single NUMA
1977 node and do their allocations there to localize memory access
1979 Severity : enhancement
1981 Description: llmount can determine client NID directly from Myrinet (GM)
1982 Details : the client NID code from gmnalnid was moved directly into
1983 llmount, removing the need to use this or specifying the
1984 client NID explicitly when mounting GM clients with zeroconf
1987 Frequency : if client is started with down MDS
1989 Description: if client is started with down MDS mount hangs in ptlrpc_queue_wait
1990 Details : Having an LWI_INTR() wait event (interruptible, but no timeout)
1991 will wait indefinitely in ptlrpc_queue_wait->l_wait_event() after
1992 ptlrpc_import_delayed_req() because we didn't check if the
1993 request was interrupted, and we also didn't break out of the
1994 event loop if there was no timeout
1999 Description: data loss during non-page-aligned writes to a single file from
2000 both multiple nodes and multiple threads on one node at same time
2001 Details : updates to KMS and lsm weren't protected by common lock. Resulting
2002 inconsistency led to false short-reads, that were cached and later
2003 used by ->prepare_write() to fill in partially written page,
2004 leading to data loss.
2007 Frequency : always, if lconf --abort_recovery used
2009 Description: lconf --abort_recovery fails with 'Operation not supported'
2010 Details : lconf was attempting to abort recovery on the MDT device and not
2013 Severity : enhancement
2015 Description: remove cleanup logs
2016 Details : replace lconf-generated cleanup logs with lustre internal
2017 cleanup routines. Eliminates the need for client-cleanup and
2020 Severity : enhancement
2022 Description: add support for EAs (user and system) on lustre filesystems
2023 Details : it is now possible to store extended attributes in the Lustre
2024 client filesystem, and with the user_xattr mount option it
2025 is possible to allow users to store EAs on their files also
2027 Severity : enhancement
2029 Description: Add possibility (config option) to show minimal available OST free
2031 Details : When compiled with --enable-mindf configure option, statfs(2)
2032 (and so, df) will return least minimal free space available from
2033 all OSTs as amount of free space on FS, instead of summary of
2034 free spaces of all OSTs.
2036 Severity : enhancement
2038 Description: do not expand extent locks acquired on OST-side
2039 Details : Modify ldlm_extent_policy() to not expand local locks, acquired
2040 by server: they are not cached anyway.
2043 Frequency : when mmap is used/binaries executed from Lustre
2045 Description: Unmmap pages before throwing them away from read cache.
2046 Details : llap_shrink cache now attempts to unmap pages before discarding
2047 them (if unmapping failed - do not discard). SLES9 kernel has
2048 extra checks that trigger if this unmapping is not done first.
2053 Description: lconf didn't resolve symlinks before checking to see whether a
2054 given mountpoint was already in use
2057 Frequency : when migrating failover services
2058 Bugzilla : 6395, 9514
2059 Description: When migrating a subset of services from a node (e.g. failback
2060 from a failover service node) the remaining services would
2061 time out and evict clients.
2062 Details : lconf --force (implied by --failover) sets the global obd_timeout
2063 to 5 seconds in order to quickly disconnect, but this caused
2064 other RPCs to time out too quickly. Do not change the global
2065 obd_timeout for force cleanup, only set it for DISCONNECT RPCs.
2067 Severity : enhancement
2068 Frequency : if MDS is started with down OST
2069 Bugzilla : 9439,5706
2070 Description: Allow startup/shutdown of an MDS without depending on the
2071 availability of the OSTs.
2072 Details : Asynchronously call mds_lov_synchronize during MDS startup.
2073 Add appropriate locking and lov-osc refcounts for safe
2074 cleaning. Add osc abort_inflight calls in case the
2075 synchronize never started.
2078 Frequency : occasional (Cray XT3 only)
2080 Description: root not authorized to access files in CRAY_PORTALS environment
2081 Details : The client process capabilities were not honoured on the MDS in
2082 a CRAY_PORTALS/CRAY_XT3 environment. If the file had previously
2083 been accessed by an authorized user then root was able to access
2084 the file on the local client also. The root user capabilities
2085 are now allowed on the MDS, as this environment has secure UID.
2088 Frequency : occasional
2090 Description: ldiskfs "too long searching" message happens too often
2091 Details : A debugging message (otherwise harmless) prints too often on
2092 the OST console. This has been reduced to only happen when
2093 there are fragmentation problems on the filesystem.
2098 Description: Division by zero in statfs when all OSCs are inactive
2099 Details : lov_get_stripecnt() returns zero due to incorrect order of checks,
2100 lov_statfs divides by value returned by lov_get_stripecnt().
2104 Bugzilla : 9489, 3273
2105 Description: First write from each client to each OST was only 4kB in size,
2106 to initialize client writeback cache, which caused sub-optimal
2107 RPCs and poor layout on disk for the first writen file.
2108 Details : Clients now request an initial cache grant at (re)connect time
2109 and so that they can start streaming writes to the cache right
2110 away and always do full-sized RPCs if there is enough data.
2111 If the OST is rebooted the client also re-establishes its grant
2112 so that client cached writes will be honoured under the grant.
2117 Description: Slow ls (and stat(2) syscall) on files residing on IO-loaded OSTs
2118 Details : Now I/O RPCs go to different portal number and (presumably) fast
2119 lock requests (and glimses) and other RPCs get their own service
2120 threads pool that should be able to service those RPCs

2125 Description: Ability to exchange lustre version between client and servers and
2126 issue warnings at client side if client is too old. Also for
2127 liblustre clients there is ability to refuse connection of too old
2129 Details : New 'version' field is added to connect data structure that is
2130 filled with version info. That info is later checked by server and
2134 Frequency : rare, liblustre only.

2136 Description: Two simultaneous writes from liblustre at offset within same page
2137 might proceed at the same time overwriting eachother with stale
2139 Details : I/O lock withing llu_file_prwv was released too early, before data
2140 actually was hitting the wire. Extended lock-holding time until
2141 server acknowledges receiving data.
2144 Frequency : extremely rare. Never observed in practice.
2146 Description: avoid generating lustre_handle cookie of 0.
2147 Details : class_handle_hash() generates handle cookies by incrementing
2148 global counter, and can hit 0 occasionaly (this is unlikely, but
2149 not impossible, because initial value of cookie counter is
2150 selected randonly). Value of 0 is used as a sentinel meaning
2151 "unassigned handle" --- avoid it. Also coalesce two critical
2152 sections in this function into one.
2154 Severity : enhancement
2156 Description: allow liblustre clients to delegate truncate locking to OST
2157 Details : To avoid overhead of locking, liblustre client instructs OST to
2158 take extent lock in ost_punch() on client's behalf. New connection
2159 flag is added to handle backward compatibility.
2161 Severity : enhancement
2162 Bugzilla : 4928, 7341, 9758
2163 Description: allow number of OST service threads to be specified
2164 Details : a module parameter allows the number of OST service threads
2165 to be specified via "options ost ost_num_threads={N}" in the
2166 OSS's /etc/modules.conf or /etc/modprobe.conf.
2170 Bugzilla : 6146, 9635, 9895
2171 Description: servers crash with bad pointer in target_handle_connect()
2172 Details : In rare cases when a client is reconnecting it was possible that
2173 the connection request was the last reference for that export.
2174 We would temporarily drop the export reference and get a new
2175 one, but this may have been the last reference and the export
2176 was just destroyed. Get new reference before dropping old one.

2188 Description: Stop sending data to evicted clients as soon as possible.
2189 Details : Check if the client we are about to send or are sending data to
2190 was evicted already. (Check is done every second of waiting,
2191 for which l_wait_event interface was extended to allow checking
2192 of exit condition at specified intervals).
2195 Frequency : rare, normally only when NFS exporting is done from client
2197 Description: 'bad disk LOV MAGIC: 0x00000000' error when chown'ing files
2199 Details : Make mds_get_md() recognise empty md case and set lmm size to 0.
2202 Frequency : always, if srand() is called before liblustre initialization
2204 Description: Liblustre uses system PRNG disturbing its usage by user application
2205 Details : Introduce internal to lustre fast and high-quality PRNG for
2206 lustre usage and make liblustre and some other places in generic
2207 lustre code to use it.

2213 logs stored on the MDS and report an error if this is the case.
2214 Request --write-conf, or allow starting with --old_conf.
2216 Severity : enhancement
2218 Description: Handle symlinks in the path when checking if Lustre is mounted.
2219 Details : Resolve intermediate symlinks when checking if a client has
2220 mounted a filesystem to avoid duplicate client mounts.
2225 Description: lconf can hit an error exception but still return success.
2226 Details : The lconf command catches the Command error exception at the top
2227 level script context and will exit with the associated exit
2228 status, but doesn't ensure that this exit status is non-zero.
2233 Description: failure of ptlrpc thread startup can cause oops
2234 Details : Starting a ptlrpc service thread can fail if there are a large
2235 number of threads or the server memory is very fragmented.
2236 Handle this without oopsing.
2239 Frequency : always, only if liblustre and non-default acceptor port was used
2241 Description: liblustre cannot connect to servers with non-default acceptor port
2242 Details : tcpnal_set_default_params() was not called and was therefore
2243 ignoring the environment varaible TCPNAL_PORT, as well as other
2244 TCPNAL_ environment variables
2249 Description: two objects could be created on the same OST for a single file
2250 Details : If an OST is down, in some cases it was possible to create two
2251 objects on a single OST for a single file. No problems other
2252 than potential performance impact and spurious error messages.

2267 extra inode reference first.
2271 Bugzilla : 9942, 9903
2272 Description: Referencing freed requests leading to crash, memleaks with NFS.
2273 Details : We used to require that call to ll_revalidate_it was always
2274 followed by ll_lookup_it. Also with revalidate_special() it is
2275 possible to call ll_revalidate_it() twice for the same dentry
2276 even if first occurence returned success. This fix changes semantic
2277 between DISP_ENQ_COMPLETE disposition flag to mean there is extra
2278 reference on a request referred from the intent.
2279 ll_intent_release() then releases such a request.
2282 Frequency : rare, normally benchmark loads only
2284 Description: unlinked inodes were kept in memory on the client
2285 Details : If a client is repeatedly creating and unlinking files it
2286 can accumulate a lot of stale inodes in the inode slab cache.
2287 If there is no other client load running this can cause the
2288 client node to run out of memory. Instead flush old inodes
2289 from client cache that have the same inode number as a new inode.

2293 Bugzilla : 9969, 10379

2301 Bugzilla : 4180, 6984, 7171, 9963, 9331
2302 Description: OST becomes very slow and/or deadlocked during object unlink
2303 Details : filter_destroy() was holding onto the parent directory lock
2304 while truncating+unlinking objects. For very large objects this
2305 may block other threads for a long time and slow overall OST
2306 responsiveness. It may also be possible to get a lock ordering
2307 deadlock in this case, or run out of journal credits because of
2308 the combined truncate+unlink. Solution is to do object truncate
2309 first in one transaction without parent lock, and then do the
2310 final unlink in a new transaction with the parent lock. This
2311 reduces the lock hold time dramatically.
2314 Frequency : rare, 2.4 kernels only
2316 Description: MDS or OST cleanup may trip kernel BUG when dropping kernel lock
2317 Details : mds_cleanup() and filter_cleanup() need to drop the kernel lock
2318 before unmounting their filesystem in order to avoid deadlock.
2319 The kernel_locked() function in 2.4 kernels only checks whether
2320 the kernel lock is held, not whether it is this process that is
2321 holding it as 2.6 kernels do.
2326 Description: MDS or OST may oops/LBUG if a client is connecting multiple times
2327 Details : The client ptlrpc code may be trying to reconnect to a down
2328 server before a previous connection attempt has timed out.
2329 Increase the reconnect interval to be longer than the connection
2330 timeout interval to avoid sending duplicate connections to
2334 Frequency : echo_client brw_test command
2336 Description: fix echo_client to work with OST preallocated code
2337 Details : OST preallocation code (5137) didn't take echo_client IO path
2338 into account: echo_client calls filter methods outside of any
2339 OST thread and, hence, there is no per-thread preallocated
2340 pages and buffers to use. Solution: hijack pga pages for IO. As
2341 a byproduct, this avoids unnecessary data copying.
2345 Bugzilla : 3555, 5962, 6025, 6155, 6296, 9574
2346 Description: Client can oops in mdc_commit_close() after open replay
2347 Details : It was possible for the MDS to return an open request with no
2348 transaction number in mds_finish_transno() if the client was
2349 evicted, but without actually returning an error. Clients
2350 would later try to replay that open and may trip an assertion
2351 Simplify the client close codepath, and always return an error
2352 from the MDS in case the open is not successful.
2355 Frequency : rare, 2.6 OSTs only
2357 Description: OST may deadlock under high load on fragmented files
2358 Details : If there was a heavy load and highly-fragmented OST filesystems
2359 it was possible to have all the OST threads deadlock waiting on
2360 allocation of biovecs, because the biovecs were not released
2361 until the entire RPC IO was completed. Instead, release biovecs
2362 as soon as they are complete to ensure forward IO progress.
2364 Severity : enhancement
2366 Description: Support for specifying external journal device at mount
2367 Details : If an OST or MDS device is formatted with an external journal
2368 device, this device major/minor is stored in the ext3 superblock
2369 and may not be valid for failover. Allow detecting and
2370 specifying the external journal at mount time.
2375 Description: Mounting an MDS with pending unlinked files may cause oops
2376 Details : target_finish_recovery() calls mds_postrecov() which returned
2377 the number of orphans unlinked. mds_lov_connect->mds_postsetup()
2378 considers this an error and immediately begins cleaning up the
2379 lov, just after starting the mds_lov process
2381 Severity : enhancement
2383 Description: Implement 'lfs df' to report actual free space on per-OST basis
2384 Details : Add sub-command 'df' on 'lfs' to report the disk space usage of
2385 MDS/OSDs. Usage: lfs df [-i][-h]. Command Options: '-i' to report
2386 usage of objects; '-h' to report in human readable format.

2397 Description: Mounting an ldiskfs file system with mballoc may crash OST node.
2398 Details : ldiskfs mballoc code may reference an uninitialized buddy struct
2399 at startup during orphan unlinking. Instead, skip buddy update
2400 before setup, as it will be regenerated after recovery is complete.
2405 Description: If an OST is inactive, its locks might reference stale inodes.
2406 Details : lov_change_cbdata() must iterate over all namespaces, even if
2407 they are inactive to clear inode references from the lock.
2409 Severity : enhancement
2410 Frequency : occasional, if non-standard max_dirty_mb used
2412 Description: Client will block write RPCs if not enough grant
2413 Details : If a client has max_dirty_mb smaller than max_rpcs_in_flight,
2414 then the client will block writes while waiting for another RPC
2415 to complete instead of consuming its dirty limit. With change
2416 we get improved performance when max_dirty_mb is small.
2418 Severity : enhancement
2419 Bugzilla : 3389, 6253
2420 Description: Add support for supplementary groups on the MDS.
2421 Details : The MDS has an upcall /proc/fs/lustre/mds/{mds}/group_upcall
2422 (set to /usr/sbin/l_getgroups if enabled) which will do MDS-side
2423 lookups for user supplementary groups into a cache.
2427 Description: O_CREAT|O_EXCL open flags in liblustre always return -EEXIST
2428 Details : Make libsysio to not enforce O_EXCL by clearing the flag,
2429 for liblustre O_EXCL is enforced by MDS.
2433 Description: readdir never returns NULL in liblustre.
2434 Details : Corrected llu_iop_getdirentries logic, to return offset of next
2435 dentry in struct dirent.
2439 Frequency : liblustre only, depends on application IO pattern
2440 Description: liblustre clients evicted if not contacting servers

2442 they will not be evicted by the pinger ever.
2444 Severity : enhancement

2447 Details : By echoing "nid:$NID" string into
2448 /proc/fs/lustre/mds/.../evict_client client with nid that equals to
2449 $NID would be instantly evicted from this MDS and from all active
2450 OSTs connected to it.
2454 Description: Do not query file size twice, somewhat slowing stat(2) calls.
2455 Details : lookup_it_finish() used to query file size from OSTs that was not

2461 Details : Starting lustre service threads may pin the working directory
2462 of the parent thread, making that filesystem busy. Threads
2463 now change to the working directory of init to avoid this.

2469 Details : Don't resend DISCONNECT messages in ptlrpc_disconnect_import()
2474 Frequency : 2.6 only
2475 Description: chmod/chown may include an extra supplementary group

2477 supplementary group and if none is specified this is used.
2480 Bugzilla : 5479 (6816)
2482 Description: Racing open + rm can assert client in mdc_set_open_replay_data()
2483 Details : If lookup is in progress on a file that is unlinked we might try
2484 to revalidate the inode and fail in revalidate after lookup is
2485 complete and ll_file_open() enqueues the open again but
2486 it_open_error() was not checking DISP_OPEN_OPEN errors correctly.

2507 Details : OSTs now preallocates memory needed to write out data at
2508 startup, instead of when needed, to avoid having to
2509 allocate memory in possibly low memory situations.
2510 Specifically, if the file system is mounted on on OST,
2511 memory pressure could force it to try to write out data,
2512 which it needed to allocate memory to do. Due to the low
2513 memory, it would be unable to do so and the node would
2514 become unresponsive.
2516 Severity : enhancement
2518 Description: Addition of lconf --service command line option
2519 Details : lconf now accepts a '--service <arg>' option, which is
2520 shorthand for 'lconf --group <arg> --select <arg>=<hostname>'
2522 Severity : enhancement
2524 Description: Failover mode is now the default for OSTs.

2526 the old behaviour, add '--failout' to the lmc line for OSTs.
2528 Severity : enhancement
2530 Description: Health checks are now provided for MDS and OSTs
2531 Details : Additional detailed health check information on MSD and OSTs
2532 is now provided through the procfs health_check value.
2535 Frequency : occasional, depends on IO load
2537 Description: Disk fragmentation on the OSTs could eventually cause slowdowns
2538 after numerous create/delete cycles
2539 Details : The ext3 inode allocation policy would not allocate new inodes
2540 very well on the OSTs because there are no new directories
2541 being created. Instead we look for groups with free space if
2542 the parent directories are nearly full.
2547 Description: Network or server problems during mount may cause partially
2548 mounted clients instead of returning an error.
2549 Details : The config llog parsing code may overwrite the error return
2550 code during mount error handling, returning success instead
2556 Description: MDS can fail to allocate large reply buffers
2557 Details : After long uptimes the MDS can fail to allocate large reply
2558 buffers (e.g. zconf client mount config records) due to memory
2559 fragmentation or consumption by the buffer cache. Preallocate
2560 some large reply buffers so that these replies can be sent even
2561 under memory pressure.
2565 Frequency : rare (liblustre)
2566 Description: fsx running with liblustre complained that using truncate() to
2567 extend the file doesn't work. This patch corrects that issue.
2568 Details : This is the liblustre equivalent of the fix for bug 6196. Fixes
2569 ATTR_SIZE and lsm use in llu_setattr_raw.
2573 Frequency : rare, only 2.6 kernels
2574 Description: Unusual file access patterns on the MDS may result in inode
2575 data being lost in very rare circumstances.
2576 Details : Bad interaction between the ea-in-inode patch and the "no-read"
2577 code in the 2.6 kernel caused the inode and/or EA data not to
2578 be read from disk, causing single-file corruption.
2582 Frequency : rare, only 2.6 filesystems using extents
2583 Description: Heavy concurrent write and delete load may cause data corruption.
2584 Details : It was possible under high-load situations to have an extent
2585 metadata block in the block device cache from a just-unlinked
2586 file overwrite a newly-allocated data block. We now unmap any
2587 metadata buffers that alias just-allocated data blocks.
2591 Frequency : filesystems with default stripe_count larger than 77
2592 Description: lconf+mke2fs fail when formatting filesystem with > 77 stripes
2593 Details : lconf specifies an inode size of 4096 bytes when the default
2594 stripe_count is larger than 77. This conflicts with the default
2595 inode density of 1 per 4096 bytes. Allocate smaller inodes in
2596 this case to avoid pinning too much memory for large EAs.

2608 Details : lock ordering changes for bug 5492 reintroduced bug 3267 and
2609 caused clients to be evicted for AST timeouts. The fixes in
2610 bug 5192 mean we no longer need to have such short AST timeouts

2655 Bugzilla : 3262, 6359
2656 Description: Attempts to reconnect to servers are now more aggressive.
2657 Details : This builds on the enhanced upcall-less recovery that was added
2658 in 1.4.2. When trying to reconnect to servers, clients will
2659 now try each server in the failover group every 10 seconds. By
2660 default, clients would previously try one server every 25 seconds.
2665 Description: After recovery, certain operations trigger a failed
2666 assertion on a client.
2667 Details : Failing over an mds, using lconf -d --failover, while a
2668 client was doing a readdir() call would cause the client to
2669 LBUG after recovery completed and the readdir() was resent.

2687 values in there got lost. New field was added to struct file to
2688 store fs-specific private data.
2691 Frequency : when exporting Lustre via NFS
2693 Description: NFSD failed occasionally when looking up a path component
2694 Details : NFSD is looking up ".." which was broken in ext3 directories
2695 that had grown large enough to become hashed.
2698 Frequency : Clusters with multiple interfaces not on the same subnet
2700 Description: Nodes will repeatedly try to reconnect to an interface which it
2701 cannot reach and report an error to the log.
2702 Details : Extra peer list entries will be created by lconf with some peers
2703 unreachable. lconf now validates the peer before adding it.
2706 Frequency : Only if a default stripe is set on the filesystem root.

2716 Description: Client trips assertion regarding lsm mismatch/magic
2717 Details : While revalidating inodes the VFS looks up inodes with ifind()
2718 and in rare cases can find an inode that is being freed.
2719 The ll_test_inode() code will free the lsm during ifind()
2720 when it finds an existing inode and then the VFS later attaches
2721 this free lsm to a new inode.

2738 ext3 on 2.4 and ldiskfs on 2.6.
2740 Severity : enhancement
2741 Description: The default stripe count has been changed to 1
2742 Details : The interpretation of the default stripe count (0, to lfs
2743 or lmc) has been changed to mean striping across a single
2744 OST, rather than all available. For general usage we have
2745 found a stripe count of 1 or 2 works best.
2747 Severity : enhancement
2748 Description: Add support for compiling against Cray portals.
2749 Details : Conditional compiling for some areas that are different
2753 Frequency : occasional
2754 Bugzilla : 6409, 6834
2755 Description: Creating files with an explicit stripe count may lead to
2756 a failed assertion on the MDS
2757 Details : If some OSTs are full or unavailable, creating files may
2758 trigger a failed assertion on the MDS. Now, Lustre will
2759 try to use other servers or return an error to the
2763 Frequency : occasional
2765 Description: Multiple concurrent overlapping read+write on multiple SMP nodes
2766 caused lock timeout during readahead (since 1.4.2).
2767 Details : Processes doing readahead might match a lock that hasn't been
2768 granted yet if there are overlapping and conflicting lock
2769 requests. The readahead process waits on ungranted lock
2770 (original lock is CBPENDING), while OST waits for that process
2771 to cancel CBPENDING read lock and eventually evicts client.
2773 Severity : enhancement
2775 Description: Initial enabling of flock support for clients
2776 Details : Implements fcntl advisory locking and file status functions.
2777 This feature is provided as an optional mount flag (default
2778 off), and is NOT CURRENTLY SUPPORTED. Not all types of record
2779 locking are implemented yet, and those that are are not guaranteed
2780 to be completely correct in production environments.
2781 mount -t lustre -o [flock|noflock] ...
2784 Frequency : occasional
2786 Description: OSTs running 2.4 kernels but with extents enabled might trip an
2787 assertion in the ext3 JBD (journaling) layer.
2788 Details : The b_committed_data struct is protected by the big kernel lock
2789 in 2.4 kernels, serializing journal_commit_transaction() and
2790 ext3_get_block_handle->ext3_new_block->find_next_usable_block()
2791 access to this struct. In 2.6 kernels there is finer grained
2792 locking to improve SMP performance of the JBD layer.
2796 Description: Changes the "SCSI I/O Stats" kernel patch to default to "enabled"

2803 versions of Lustre. Please update all servers and clients to
2804 version 1.4.2 or later at the same time. You must also run
