Subject: [PATCH 0/2] ceph: make kcephfs use errseq_t for writeback error reporting

From: Jeff Layton <[email protected]>

A couple of small patches to make cephfs use errseq_t for reporting
writeback errors. This ensures that when a writeback error occurs
that it is reported to all file descriptions that were open at the
time. The first patch is what fixes the error reporting.

The second patch (which should probably be considered an RFC) adds a new
fault injection switch for cephfs that makes it throw writeback errors
even when the writes succeed. I have an xfstest that uses this to help
test error handling behavior in cephfs.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ceph: pagecache writeback fault injection switch

From: Jeff Layton <[email protected]>

Testing ceph for proper writeback error handling turns out to be quite
difficult. I tried using iptables to block traffic but that didn't
give reliable results.

I hacked in this wb_fault switch that makes the filesystem pretend that
writeback failed, even when it succeeds. With this, I could verify that
cephfs fsync error reporting does work properly.

I think it's better not to enable this feature by default. Enabling it
by compilation option or mount option?

Yes, it probably should be.

I really should have sent this as an RFC patch. I mostly did it to
document how patch 1/2 was tested. I'm not at all convinced this is a
great idea, though. I'm fine with just dropping this patch for now until
we have some time to consider it more. Maybe it would be better to hack
something into the OSDs for this?

I think if we did want to start adding fault injection knobs, then we'll
probably want to allow other tunables to be added simply. Maybe put them
in a "fault" subdir under the per-fsc debugfs dir?
