[dm-devel] [PATCH v3 2/2] dm: add CONFIG_DM_MULTIPATH_SG_IO - failover for SG_IO on dm-multipath

From: Martin Wilck <mwilck at suse.com>
In virtual deployments, SCSI passthrough over dm-multipath devices is a
common setup. The qemu "pr-helper" was specifically invented for it. I
believe that this is the most important real-world scenario for sending
SG_IO ioctls to device-mapper devices.
In this configuration, guests send SCSI IO to the hypervisor in the form of
SG_IO ioctls issued by qemu. But on the device-mapper level, these SCSI
ioctls aren't treated like regular IO. Until commit 2361ae595352 ("dm mpath:
switch paths in dm_blk_ioctl() code path"), no path switching was done at
all. Worse though, if an SG_IO call fails because of a path error,
dm-multipath doesn't retry the IO on a another path; rather, the failure is
passed back to the guest, and paths are not marked as faulty. This is in
stark contrast with regular block IO of guests on dm-multipath devices, and
certainly comes as a surprise to users who switch to SCSI passthrough in
qemu. In general, users of dm-multipath devices would probably expect failover
to work at least in a basic way.
This patch fixes this by taking a special code path for SG_IO on request-
based device mapper targets if CONFIG_DM_MULTIPATH_SG_IO is set. Rather then
just choosing a single path, sending the IO to it, and failing to the caller
if the IO on the path failed, it retries the same IO on another path for
certain error codes, using blk_path_error() to determine if a retry would
make sense for the given error code. Moreover, it sends a message to the
multipath target to mark the path as failed.
One problem remains open: if all paths in a multipath map are failed,
normal multipath IO may switch to queueing mode (depending on
configuration). This isn't possible for SG_IO, as SG_IO requests can't
easily be queued like regular block I/O. Thus in the "no path" case, the
guest will still see an error.
