From: Kiyoshi Ueda Subject: dm-mpath: add a path selector interface References: FATE#303862,FATE#302108 This patch adds a new hook for dm path selector: start_io. Target drivers should call this hook before submitting I/O to the selected path. Path selectors can use it to start accounting of the I/O. (e.g. counting the number of in-flight I/Os.) The code is based on the patch posted by Stefan Bader: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2005-October/msg00050.html Signed-off-by: Stefan Bader Signed-off-by: Kiyoshi Ueda Signed-off-by: Jun'ichi Nomura Signed-off-by: Hannes Reinecke Index: linux-2.6.27/drivers/md/dm-mpath.c =================================================================== --- linux-2.6.27.orig/drivers/md/dm-mpath.c +++ linux-2.6.27/drivers/md/dm-mpath.c @@ -359,6 +359,9 @@ static int map_io(struct multipath *m, s mpio->pgpath = pgpath; + if (r == DM_MAPIO_REMAPPED && pgpath->pg->ps.type->start_io) + pgpath->pg->ps.type->start_io(&pgpath->pg->ps, &pgpath->path); + spin_unlock_irqrestore(&m->lock, flags); return r; Index: linux-2.6.27/drivers/md/dm-path-selector.h =================================================================== --- linux-2.6.27.orig/drivers/md/dm-path-selector.h +++ linux-2.6.27/drivers/md/dm-path-selector.h @@ -75,6 +75,7 @@ struct path_selector_type { int (*status) (struct path_selector *ps, struct dm_path *path, status_type_t type, char *result, unsigned int maxlen); + int (*start_io) (struct path_selector *ps, struct dm_path *path); int (*end_io) (struct path_selector *ps, struct dm_path *path); };
