問題描述
硬碟透過RAID（raid驅動為megaraid）方式掛載至系統。 修改塊裝置sdb的預讀引數（read_ahead_kb），使用dd命令向塊裝置寫資料，預讀引數發生了變化。
問題總結
預讀引數改變的原因是由於systemd-udevd服務對sd塊裝置做了IO監聽，一旦發生寫操作，就會觸發on_inotify處理函式重新獲取分割槽資訊，重新獲取分割槽資訊時會重置預讀引數(sd_revalidate_disk函式中重置了預讀引數)。修復sd_revalidate_disk函式修改預讀引數的規則，可以修復該問題。
問題分析
客戶反饋：UOS 1032正常、UOS1040異常、麒麟25.2異常，但三者raid驅動版本一致。
根據客戶反饋加上預讀引數本身與raid驅動無明顯關聯，排除raid驅動問題。 當前驗證思路，先確認預讀引數是由誰（核心模組、上層應用）修改的。
上層應用 手動修改預讀引數後，去掉預讀引數寫許可權chmod 444 ，預讀引數發生變化，排除上層應用主動修改預讀引數。 核心模組 定位預讀引數read_ahead_kb的位置
static struct queue_sysfs_entry queue_ra_entry = {
.attr = {.name = "read_ahead_kb", .mode = 0644 },
.show = queue_ra_show,
.store = queue_ra_store,
};
static ssize_t
queue_ra_store(struct request_queue *q, const char *page, size_t count)
{
unsigned long ra_kb;
ssize_t ret = queue_var_store(&ra_kb, page, count);
if (ret < 0)
return ret;
q->backing_dev_info->ra_pages = ra_kb >> (PAGE_SHIFT - 10);
return ret;
}
預讀引數儲存在q->backing_dev_info->ra_pages中，向相關位置新增除錯資訊，定位改動原因。
透過除錯資訊可知sd_revalidate_disk函式修改了預讀引數。
static int sd_revalidate_disk(struct gendisk *disk)
{
... ...
q->backing_dev_info->ra_pages = max_t(unsigned long, VM_MAX_READAHEAD,
ra_kb) * 1024 / PAGE_SIZE;
set_capacity(disk, logical_to_sectors(sdp, sdkp->capacity));
sd_config_write_same(sdkp);
kfree(buffer);
out:
return 0;
}
檢視堆疊資訊發現sd_revalidate_disk是透過系統呼叫執行的（el0_svc為使用者態系統呼叫的入口）

Comm顯示具體應用為systemd-udevd
查閱systemd-udevd原始碼，發現systemd-udev對sd塊裝置做了IO監聽，一旦發生寫操作，就會觸發on_inotify處理函式重新獲取分割槽資訊。 BLKRRPART:重新讀取分割槽表 on_inotify函式呼叫鏈為：on_inotify-->synthesize_change-->ioctl(fd, BLKRRPART, 0)
udevd.c:
static int synthesize_change(sd_device *dev) {
... ...
if (streq_ptr("block", subsystem) &&
streq_ptr("disk", devtype) &&
!startswith(sysname, "dm-")) {
_cleanup_(sd_device_enumerator_unrefp) sd_device_enumerator *e = NULL;
bool part_table_read = false, has_partitions = false;
sd_device *d;
int fd;
fd = open(devname, O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC|O_NOFOLLOW|O_NONBLOCK);
if (fd >= 0) {
r = flock(fd, LOCK_EX|LOCK_NB);
if (r >= 0)
r = ioctl(fd, BLKRRPART, 0);
close(fd);
if (r >= 0)
part_table_read = true;
}
... ...
}
static int on_inotify(sd_event_source *s, int fd, uint32_t revents, void *userdata) {
... ...
FOREACH_INOTIFY_EVENT(e, buffer, l) {
_cleanup_(sd_device_unrefp) sd_device *dev = NULL;
const char *devnode;
if (udev_watch_lookup(e->wd, &dev) <= 0)
continue;
if (sd_device_get_devname(dev, &devnode) < 0)
continue;
log_device_debug(dev, "Inotify event: %x for %s", e->mask, devnode);
if (e->mask & IN_CLOSE_WRITE)
synthesize_change(dev);
else if (e->mask & IN_IGNORED)
udev_watch_end(dev);
}
return 1;
}
static int main_loop(Manager *manager) {
... ...
r = sd_event_add_io(manager->event, &manager->inotify_event, manager->fd_inotify, EPOLLIN, on_inotify, manager);
if (r < 0)
return log_error_errno(r, "Failed to create inotify event source: %m");
... ...
}
繼續跟蹤sd_revalidate_disk的歷史提交記錄發現，ra_pages的修改是在64cf457219acf8e3524530af064784f5677682fe版本中提交的，目的是採用硬碟VPD資訊的OPTIMAL TRANSFER LENGTH（最優傳輸長度)來調整read_ahead_kb。

解決方案
修改核心程式碼，硬碟初始化，首次進行掃描時配置最佳預讀引數，之後重讀分割槽資訊時不再修改預讀引數。
