drbd: New disk option al-updates

2012-11-08T15:58:31Z

By disabling al-updates one might increase performace. The price for that is that in case a crashed primary (that had al-updates disabled) is reintegraded, it will receive a full-resync instead of a bitmap based resync. Signed-off-by: Philipp Reisner Signed-off-by: Lars Ellenberg

drbd: Load balancing of read requests

2012-11-08T15:58:10Z

New config option for the disk secition "read-balancing", with the values: prefer-local, prefer-remote, round-robin, when-congested-remote. Signed-off-by: Philipp Reisner Signed-off-by: Lars Ellenberg

drbd: The minor_count module parameter is only a hint nowadays

2012-11-08T15:58:01Z

* The max of minor_count is 255 * In drbdadm count the number of minors, instead of finding the highest minor number * No longer us the magic in the init script Signed-off-by: Philipp Reisner Signed-off-by: Lars Ellenberg

drbd: Fix the maximum accepted minor device number

2012-11-08T15:57:54Z

The maximum minor device number allowed by the kernel is (1<<20 - 1). Reject device numbers higher than that to earlier catch possible errors. Signed-off-by: Philipp Reisner Signed-off-by: Lars Ellenberg

drbd: Define scale factors in a single place

drbd: Changed some defaults

2012-11-08T15:57:53Z

* Enabled the resync controller, with a fill target of 50Kib. That gives reasonable resync speeds without tuning. A much better default than the 250KiB/s fixed. * Enable bitmap compression. It is save to use, and most people have more CPU power than network bandwidth. * ko-count of 7: Abort a connection if the peer fails to process a write request within 42 seconds. * al-extents of 1237: ~5 GiB seems to be a much more sane default these days.

drbd: detach from frozen backing device

2012-11-08T15:57:50Z

* drbd-8.3: documentation: Documented detach's --force and disk's --disk-timeout drbd: Implemented the disk-timeout option drbd: Force flag for the detach operation drbd: Allow new IOs while the local disk in in FAILED state drbd: Bitmap IO functions can not return prematurely if the disk breaks drbd: Added a kref to bm_aio_ctx drbd: Hold a reference to ldev while doing meta-data IO drbd: Keep a reference to the bio until the completion handler finished drbd: Implemented wait_until_done_or_disk_failure() drbd: Replaced md_io_mutex by an atomic: md_io_in_use drbd: moved md_io into mdev drbd: Immediately allow completion of IOs, that wait for IO completions on a failed disk drbd: Keep a reference to barrier acked requests Signed-off-by: Philipp Reisner Signed-off-by: Lars Ellenberg

drbd: Fixes from the 8.3 development branch

2012-11-08T15:57:49Z

* commit 'ae57a0a': drbd: Only print sanitize state's warnings, if the state change happens drbd: we should write meta data updates with FLUSH FUA drbd: fix limit define, we support 1 PiByte now drbd: fix log message argument order drbd: Typo in user-visible message. drbd: Make "(rcv|snd)buf-size" and "ping-timeout" available for the proxy, too. drbd: Allow keywords to be used in multiple config sections. drbd: fix typos in comments.

drbd: allow ping-timeout of up to 30 seconds

2012-11-08T15:57:48Z

Allow up to 300 centi-seconds to be configured for the "ping timeout". There may be setups where heavy congestion, huge buffers, and asymmetric bandwidth limitations may need a "huge" ping-timeout as work-around for "spurious connection loss" problems.

drbd: Use more generic constant names

2012-11-08T15:55:54Z

These constants are useful for the same purpose in more than one place. Signed-off-by: Philipp Reisner Signed-off-by: Lars Ellenberg
