From edc9f5eb7afa3d832f540fcfe10e3e1087e6f527 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lars Ellenberg Date: Thu, 27 Sep 2012 15:18:21 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] drbd: always write bitmap on detach If we detach due to local read-error (which sets a bit in the bitmap), stay Primary, and then re-attach (which re-reads the bitmap from disk), we potentially lost the "out-of-sync" (or, "bad block") information in the bitmap. Always (try to) write out the changed bitmap pages before going diskless. That way, we don't lose the bit for the bad block, the next resync will fetch it from the peer, and rewrite it locally, which may result in block reallocation in some lower layer (or the hardware), and thereby "heal" the bad blocks. If the bitmap writeout errors out as well, we will (again: try to) mark the "we need a full sync" bit in our super block, if it was a READ error; writes are covered by the activity log already. If that superblock does not make it to disk either, we are sorry. Maybe we just lost an entire disk or controller (or iSCSI connection), and there actually are no bad blocks at all, so we don't need to re-fetch from the peer, there is no "auto-healing" necessary.
