Ioctls for a class of drivers or subsystems mhd(4I)
NAME
mhd - multihost disk control operations
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/mhd.h>
DESCRIPTION
The mhd ioctl(2) calls control access rights of a multihost disk,
using disk reservations on the disk device.
The mhd ioctls fall into two major categories, ioctls for non-shared
multihost disks and ioctls for shared multihost disks.
One ioctl, MHIOCENFAILFAST, is applicable to both non-shared and shared
multihost disks. It is described after the first two categories.
All the ioctls require the {PRIV_SYS_DEVICES} privilege.
For all of the ioctls, the caller should obtain the file descriptor for
the device by calling the open() function with the O_NDELAY flag. With‐
out the O_NDELAY flag, the open() function may fail due to another host
already having a conflicting reservation on the device. Some of the
ioctls permit the caller to forcibly clear a conflicting reservation
held by another host. However, in order to call the ioctl, the caller
must first obtain the open file descriptor.
Non-shared multihost disks
Non-shared multihost disks ioctls consist of MHIOCTKOWN, MHIOCRELEASE,
HIOCSTATUS, and MHIOCQRESERVE. These ioctl requests control the access
rights of non-shared multihost disks. A non-shared multihost disk is
one that supports serialized, mutually exclusive I/O mastery by the
connected hosts. This is in contrast to the shared-disk model, in which
concurrent access is allowed from more than one host.
A non-shared multihost disk can be in one of two states:
o Exclusive access state, where only one connected host has
I/O access.
o Non-exclusive access state, where all connected hosts have
I/O access. An external hardware reset can cause the disk to
enter the non-exclusive access state.
Each multihost disk driver views the machine on which it is running as
the "local host" and all other machines as "remote hosts". For each I/O
or ioctl request, the requesting host is the local host.
Note that the non-shared ioctls are designed to work with SCSI-2 disks.
The SCSI-2 RESERVE or RELEASE command set is the underlying hardware
facility in the device that supports the non-shared ioctls.
The function prototypes for the non-shared ioctls are:
ioctl(fd, MHIOCTKOWN);
ioctl(fd, MHIOCRELEASE);
ioctl(fd, MHIOCSTATUS);
ioctl(fd, MHIOCQRESERVE);
MHIOCTKOWN
Forcibly acquires exclusive access rights to the multihost disk for
the local host. Revokes all access rights to the multihost disk
from remote hosts. Causes the disk to enter the exclusive access
state.
Implementation Note: Reservations (exclusive access rights) broken
via random resets should be reinstated by the driver upon their
detection, for example, in the automatic probe function described
below.
MHIOCRELEASE
Relinquishes exclusive access rights to the multihost disk for the
local host. On success, causes the disk to enter the non- exclusive
access state.
MHIOCSTATUS
Probes a multihost disk to determine whether the local host has
access rights to the disk. Returns 0 if the local host has access
to the disk, 1 if it doesn't, and -1 with errno set to EIO if the
probe failed for some other reason.
MHIOCQRESERVE
Issues, simply and only, a SCSI-2 RESERVE command. If the attempt
to reserve fails due to the SCSI error Reservation Conflict (which
implies that some other host has the device reserved), then the
ioctl will return −1 with errno set to EACCES. The MHIOCQRESERVE
ioctl does NOT issue a bus device reset or bus reset prior to
attempting the SCSI-2 RESERVE command. It also does not take care
of reinstating reservations that disappear due to bus resets or bus
device resets. If that behavior is desired, then the caller can
call MHIOCTKOWN after the MHIOCQRESERVE has returned success. If
the device does not support the SCSI-2 RESERVE command, then the
ioctl returns −1 with errno set to ENOTSUP. The MHIOCQRESERVE ioctl
is intended to be used by high-availability or clustering software
for a "quorum" disk, hence, the "Q" in the name of the ioctl.
Shared Multihost Disks
Shared multihost disks ioctls control access to shared multihost disks.
The ioctls are merely a veneer on the SCSI-3 Persistent Reservation
facility. Therefore, the underlying semantic model is not described in
detail here, see the SCSI-3 standard. The SCSI-3 Persistent Reserva‐
tions support the concept of a group of hosts all sharing access to a
disk.
The function prototypes and descriptions for the shared multihost
ioctls are as follows:
ioctl(fd, MHIOCGRP_INKEYS, (mhioc_inkeys_t) *k);
Issues the SCSI-3 command Persistent Reserve In Read Keys to the
device. On input, the field k->li should be initialized by the
caller with k->li.listsize reflecting the size of an array the
caller has allocated for the k->li.list field and with
k->li.listlen == 0. On return, the field k->li.listlen is updated
to indicate the number of reservation keys the device currently
has. If this value is larger than k->li.listsize, then that indi‐
cates that the caller should have passed a bigger k->li.list array
with a bigger k->li.listsize. The number of array elements actually
written by the callee into k->li.list is the minimum of
k->li.listlen and k->li.listsize. The field k->generation is
updated with the generation information returned by the SCSI-3 Read
Keys query. If the device does not support SCSI-3 Persistent Reser‐
vations, then this ioctl returns −1 with errno set to ENOTSUP.
ioctl(fd, MHIOCGRP_INRESV, (mhioc_inresvs_t) *r);
Issues the SCSI-3 command Persistent Reserve In Read Reservations
to the device. Remarks similar to MHIOCGRP_INKEYS apply to the
array manipulation. If the device does not support SCSI-3 Persis‐
tent Reservations, then this ioctl returns −1 with errno set to
ENOTSUP.
ioctl(fd, MHIOCGRP_REGISTER, (mhioc_register_t) *r);
Issues the SCSI-3 command Persistent Reserve Out Register. The
fields of structure r are all inputs, none of the fields are modi‐
fied by the ioctl. The field r->aptpl should be set to true to
specify that registrations and reservations should persist across
device power failures, or to false to specify that registrations
and reservations should be cleared upon device power failure, true
is the recommended setting. The field r->oldkey is the key that the
caller believes the device may already have for this host initia‐
tor. If the caller believes that this host initiator is not already
registered with this device, it should pass the special key of all
zeros. To achieve the effect of unregistering with the device, the
caller should pass its current key for the r->oldkey field and an
r->newkey field containing the special key of all zeros. If the
device returns the SCSI error code Reservation Conflict, this ioctl
returns −1 with errno set to EACCES.
ioctl(fd, MHIOCGRP_RESERVE, (mhioc_resv_desc_t) *r);
Issues the SCSI-3 command Persistent Reserve Out Reserve. The
fields of structure r are all inputs, none of the fields are modi‐
fied by the ioctl. If the device returns the SCSI error code Reser‐
vation Conflict, this ioctl returns −1 with errno set to EACCES.
ioctl(fd, MHIOCGRP_PREEMPTANDABORT, (mhioc_preemptandabort_t) *r);
Issues the SCSI-3 command Persistent Reserve Out Preempt-And-Abort.
The fields of structure r are all inputs, none of the fields are
modified by the ioctl. The key of the victim host is specified by
the field r->victim_key. The field r->resvdesc supplies the key of
preempter, and the reservation that it is requesting as part of the
SCSI-3 Preempt-And-Abort command. If the device returns the SCSI
error code Reservation Conflict, this ioctl returns −1 with errno
set to EACCES.
ioctl(fd, MHIOCGRP_PREEMPT, (mhioc_preemptandabort_t) *r);
Similar to MHIOCGRP_PREEMPTANDABORT, but instead issues the SCSI-3
command Persistent Reserve Out Preempt. (Note: This command is not
implemented).
ioctl(fd, MHIOCGRP_CLEAR, (mhioc_resv_key_t) *r);
Issues the SCSI-3 command Persistent Reserve Out Clear. The input
parameter r is the reservation key of the caller, which should have
been already registered with the device, by an earlier call to
MHIOCGRP_REGISTER. (Note: This command is not implemented).
For each device, the non-shared ioctls should not be mixed with the
Persistent Reserve Out shared ioctls, and vice-versa, otherwise, the
underlying device is likely to return errors, because SCSI does not
permit SCSI-2 reservations to be mixed with SCSI-3 reservations on a
single device. However, it is legitimate to call the Persistent Reserve
In ioctls, because these are query only. Issuing the MHIOCGRP_INKEYS
ioctl is the recommended way for a caller to determine if the device
supports SCSI-3 Persistent Reservations (the ioctl will return −1 with
errno set to ENOTSUP if the device does not).
MHIOCENFAILFAST Ioctl
The MHIOCENFAILFAST ioctl is applicable for both non-shared and shared
disks, and may be used with either the non-shared or shared ioctls.
ioctl(fd, MHIOENFAILFAST, (unsigned int *) millisecs);
Enables or disables the failfast option in the multihost disk
driver and enables or disables automatic probing of a multihost
disk, described below. The argument is an unsigned integer specify‐
ing the number of milliseconds to wait between executions of the
automatic probe function. An argument of zero disables the failfast
option and disables automatic probing. If the MHIOCENFAILFAST ioctl
is never called, the effect is defined to be that both the failfast
option and automatic probing are disabled.
Automatic Probing
The MHIOCENFAILFAST ioctl sets up a timeout in the driver to periodi‐
cally schedule automatic probes of the disk. The automatic probe func‐
tion works in this manner: The driver is scheduled to probe the multi‐
host disk every n milliseconds, rounded up to the next integral multi‐
ple of the system clock's resolution. If
1. the local host no longer has access rights to the multihost
disk, and
2. access rights were expected to be held by the local host,
the driver immediately panics the machine to comply with the failfast
model.
If the driver makes this discovery outside the timeout function, espe‐
cially during a read or write operation, it is imperative that it panic
the system then as well.
RETURN VALUES
Each request returns −1 on failure and sets errno to indicate the
error.
EPERM Caller does not have sufficient privileges.
EACCES Access rights were denied.
EIO The multihost disk or controller was unable to successfully
complete the requested operation.
ENOTSUP The multihost disk does not support the operation. For exam‐
ple, it does not support the SCSI-2 Reserve/Release command
set, or the SCSI-3 Persistent Reservation command set.
