For the case where we had the lock and it got taken: If IO was blocked, then unjammed and it has already passed the target level checks then the IO will be failed by the OSD due to the blacklisting. When we get IO errors from ceph indicating we are blacklisted the tcmu rbd layer will fail the IO indicating the state change and that the IO can be retried. We will also tell the target layer rbd does not have the lock anymore and to just stop the iscsi connection while we clean up the blacklisting, running commands and update our state. The case where the initiator switched on us while we were grabbing the lock is similar: After we grab the lock and before we start sending IO to the rbd/ceph layers, we will have flushed IO in various queues similar to above but a little less invasively and tested the iscsi connection to make sure it is not stuck on the network. If the path is still the good one, then the initaitor will retry the IOs on it. If the iscsi connection has been dropped, then the iscsi layer detects this and just drops IO during the flush. So, if the failover timers have fired and the multipath layer is already using a new path then the IO is not going to be running on multiple paths. > > 2018-03-11 > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > shadowlin > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > *发件人：*Jason Dillaman <jdill...@redhat.com> > *发送时间：*2018-03-11 07:46 > *主题：*Re: Re: [ceph-users] iSCSI Multipath (Load Balancing) vs RBD > Exclusive Lock > *收件人：*"shadow_lin"<shadow_...@163.com> > *抄送：*"Mike Christie"<mchri...@redhat.com>,"Lazuardi > Nasution"<mrxlazuar...@gmail.com>,"Ceph > Users"<ceph-users@lists.ceph.com> > > On Sat, Mar 10, 2018 at 10:11 AM, shadow_lin <shadow_...@163.com> wrote: > > Hi Jason, > > > >>As discussed in this thread, for active/passive, upon initiator > >>failover, we used the RBD exclusive-lock feature to blacklist the old > >>"active" iSCSI target gateway so that it cannot talk w/ the Ceph > >>cluster before new writes are accepted on the new target gateway. > > > > I can get during the new active target gateway was talking to rbd the > old > > active target gateway cannot write because of the RBD exclusive-lock > > But after the new target gateway done the writes,if the old target > gateway > > had some blocked io during the failover,cant it then get the lock and > > overwrite the new writes? > > Negative -- it's blacklisted so it cannot talk to the cluster. > > > PS: > > Petasan say they can do active/active iscsi with patched suse kernel. > > I'll let them comment on these corner cases. > > > 2018-03-10 > > ________________________________ > > shadowlin > > > > ________________________________ > > > > 发件人：Jason Dillaman <jdill...@redhat.com> > > 发送时间：2018-03-10 21:40 > > 主题：Re: [ceph- > users] iSCSI Multipath (Load Balancing) vs RBD Exclusive Lock > > 收件人："shadow_lin"<shadow_...@163.com> > > 抄送："Mike Christie"<mchri...@redhat.com>,"Lazuardi > > Nasution"<mrxlazuar...@gmail.com>,"Ceph > Users"<ceph-users@lists.ceph.com> > > > > On Sat, Mar 10, 2018 at 7:42 AM, shadow_lin <shadow_...@163.com> wrote: > >> Hi Mike, > >> So for now only suse kernel with target_rbd_core and tcmu-runner can > run > >> active/passive multipath safely? > > > > Negative, the LIO / tcmu-runner implementation documented here [1] is > > safe for active/passive. > > > >> I am a newbie to iscsi.
