The verification of the Stable Release Update for cinder has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions. ** Changed in: cinder (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released ** Changed in: cinder (Ubuntu Trusty) Assignee: (unassigned) => Billy Olsen (billy-olsen) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1336568 Title: LVMiSCSI driver can't issue direct I/O through tgtd to iscsi volume To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cinder/+bug/1336568/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1336568] Re: LVMiSCSI driver can't issue direct I/O through tgtd to iscsi volume
Was able to verify the fix for this bug today. Installed cinder from the trusty-proposed pocket and ran the following tests to confirm: # Test one, ensure default option remains to write-cache on 1. create volume 2. attach iscsi volume to instance 3. Verify generated xml in /var/lib/cinder/volumes/ is generated with write-cache on. # Change the iscsi-write-cache to off and restart cinder volumes 1. Set iscsi_write_cache = off in /etc/cinder/cinder.conf 2. Create lvm volume 3. Attach via iscsi to instance 4. Verify generated xml in /var/lib/cinder/volumes/ is generated with write-cache off ** Tags removed: verification-needed ** Tags added: verification-done -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1336568 Title: LVMiSCSI driver can't issue direct I/O through tgtd to iscsi volume To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cinder/+bug/1336568/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hello Mitsuhiro, or anyone else affected, Accepted cinder into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cinder/1:2014.1.5-0ubuntu2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository. Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .

[Bug 1336568] Re: LVMiSCSI driver can't issue direct I/O through tgtd to iscsi volume
This patch was included in the juno release of cinder and thus is available already in utopic, vivid, etc. It is not available in icehouse/trusty - which this patch is for. ** Description changed: I found a problem which LVMiSCSI driver can't issue direct I/O through tgtd to iscsi volume. In current implementation, qemu-kvm opens device(storage volume) using cache='node'at nova side, however, tgtd opens device without "--bsoflags direct" at cinder side. Therefore, I/O from guest instances are cached at control node even though the compute node issues O_DIRECT I/O to iSCSI volume. As a result, if control node has a crash, cached data will be lost. This causes data lost problem of guest instance. I will propose a fix of this issue. Here are test environment and confirmation results. (1) Control node - Control node has nova, cinder(c-sch, c-api, c-vol), glance, horizon services. - Use LVMiSCSI driver for cinder backend. (2) Compute node has n-cpu and n-net services. [Confirmation at compute node] On a compute node, qemu opens device file using cache='none'. This means instance can issue direct I/O from guest to the device.
