Multiple Mount Protection
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
Multiple mount protection (MMP) is a feature that protects the
|
|
filesystem against multiple hosts trying to use the filesystem
|
|
simultaneously. When a filesystem is opened (for mounting, or fsck,
|
|
etc.), the MMP code running on the node (call it node A) checks a
|
|
sequence number. If the sequence number is EXT4\_MMP\_SEQ\_CLEAN, the
|
|
open continues. If the sequence number is EXT4\_MMP\_SEQ\_FSCK, then
|
|
fsck is (hopefully) running, and open fails immediately. Otherwise, the
|
|
open code will wait for twice the specified MMP check interval and check
|
|
the sequence number again. If the sequence number has changed, then the
|
|
filesystem is active on another machine and the open fails. If the MMP
|
|
code passes all of those checks, a new MMP sequence number is generated
|
|
and written to the MMP block, and the mount proceeds.
|
|
|
|
While the filesystem is live, the kernel sets up a timer to re-check the
|
|
MMP block at the specified MMP check interval. To perform the re-check,
|
|
the MMP sequence number is re-read; if it does not match the in-memory
|
|
MMP sequence number, then another node (node B) has mounted the
|
|
filesystem, and node A remounts the filesystem read-only. If the
|
|
sequence numbers match, the sequence number is incremented both in
|
|
memory and on disk, and the re-check is complete.
|
|
|
|
The hostname and device filename are written into the MMP block whenever
|
|
an open operation succeeds. The MMP code does not use these values; they
|
|
are provided purely for informational purposes.
|
|
|
|
The checksum is calculated against the FS UUID and the MMP structure.
|
|
The MMP structure (``struct mmp_struct``) is as follows:
