Linux kernel source tree
d1fef41465
This patch fixes a problem in dm-kcopyd that may leave jobs in
complete queue indefinitely in the event of backing storage failure.
This behavior has been observed while running 100% write file fio
workload against an XFS volume created on top of a dm-zoned target
device. If the underlying storage of dm-zoned goes to offline state
under I/O, kcopyd sometimes never issues the end copy callback and
dm-zoned reclaim work hangs indefinitely waiting for that completion.
This behavior was traced down to the error handling code in
process_jobs() function that places the failed job to complete_jobs
queue, but doesn't wake up the job handler. In case of backing device
failure, all outstanding jobs may end up going to complete_jobs queue
via this code path and then stay there forever because there are no
more successful I/O jobs to wake up the job handler.
This patch adds a wake() call to always wake up kcopyd job wait queue
for all I/O jobs that fail before dm_io() gets called for that job.
The patch also sets the write error status in all sub jobs that are
failed because their master job has failed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
