sanity 231a.

 

dd fails for no particular reason in the middle of a pretty innocuous test.

 

A disconnect/idle request is sent:

It has not completed yet.

 

A lock request is made:

The disconnect comes back:

It notices a request has happened and reconnects immediately:

The delayed lock request is rejected for import generation difference:

Here's the problem.

 

ptlrpc_request_alloc_internal uses IMP_IDLE as a way to tell if it should start a new connection:

      if (unlikely(imp->imp_state == LUSTRE_IMP_IDLE)) {

                               

And increment the generation number as part of that:

                 if (imp->imp_state == LUSTRE_IMP_IDLE) {
                        imp->imp_generation++;
                        imp->imp_initiated_at = imp->imp_generation;
                        imp->imp_state =  LUSTRE_IMP_NEW;
                        connect = 1;

 

 

After this, the request generation in the request is set to match that of the import.  So if this doesn't happen, the existing import generation is stored in the request.

 

However, the idle code (ptlrpc_disconnect_prep_req) sets the import state to connecting:

IMPORT_SET_STATE(imp, LUSTRE_IMP_CONNECTING);

 

Then sends the request.  And only sets IMP_IDLE only once the import is fully idle, in

ptlrpc_disconnect_idle_interpret:

 /* DISCONNECT reply can be late and another connection can just
         * be initiated. so we have to abort disconnection. */
        if (req->rq_import_generation == imp->imp_generation &&
            imp->imp_state != LUSTRE_IMP_CLOSED) {
                LASSERTF(imp->imp_state == LUSTRE_IMP_CONNECTING,
                         "%s\n", ptlrpc_import_state_name(imp->imp_state));
                imp->imp_state = LUSTRE_IMP_IDLE;

 

So the request_alloc_internal doesn't notice the import is in the process of disconnecting, so it does not start the reconnect early, as intended.

 

But we increment the generation in disconnect_idle_interpret:

                             if (atomic_read(&imp->imp_inflight) > 1) {
                                                imp->imp_generation++;
                                                imp->imp_initiated_at = imp->imp_generation;
                                                IMPORT_SET_STATE_NOLOCK(imp, LUSTRE_IMP_NEW);
                                                connect = 1;"

I am not really sure of the correct handling of import generation overall.  My first instinct is that we should not increment it in this case, as we connect immediately...

But perhaps that's incorrect as well.  I'm hoping that Alex will take a look at this.
