2013-09-23dm thin: do not expose non-zero discard limits if discards disabledMike Snitzer
Fix issue where the block layer would stack the discard limits of the pool's data device even if the "ignore_discard" pool feature was specified. The pool and thin device(s) still had discards disabled because the QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD request_queue flag wasn't set. But to avoid user confusion when "ignore_discard" is used: both the pool device and the thin device(s) have zeroes for all discard limits. Also, always set discard_zeroes_data_unsupported in targets because they should never advertise the 'discard_zeroes_data' capability (even if the pool's data device supports it).

2013-09-05dm thin: always return -ENOSPC if no_free_space is setMike Snitzer
If pool has 'no_free_space' set it means a previous allocation already determined the pool has no free space (and failed that allocation with -ENOSPC). By always returning -ENOSPC if 'no_free_space' is set, we do not allow the pool to oscillate between allocating blocks and then not. But a side-effect of this determinism is that if a user wants to be able to allocate new blocks they'll need to reload the pool's table (to clear the 'no_free_space' flag). This reload will happen automatically if the pool's data volume is resized. But if the user takes action to free a lot of space by deleting snapshot volumes, etc the pool will no longer allow data allocations to continue without an intervening table reload.

2013-08-23dm thin: fix stacking of geometry limitsMike Snitzer
Do not blindly override the queue limits (specifically io_min and io_opt). Allow traditional stacking of these limits if io_opt is a factor of the thin-pool's data block size. Without this patch mkfs.xfs does not recognize the thin device's provided limits as a useful geometry (e.g. raid) so these hints are ignored. This was due to setting io_min to a useless value.

2013-03-20dm thin: fix non power of two discard granularity calcJoe Thornber
Fix a discard granularity calculation to work for non power of 2 block sizes. In order for thinp to passdown discard bios to the underlying data device, the data device must have a discard granularity that is a factor of the thinp block size. Originally this check was done by using bitops since the block_size was known to be a power of two. Introduced by commit f13945d75730081830b6f3360266950e2b7c9067 ("dm thin: support a non power of 2 discard_granularity").

2013-03-20dm thin: fix discard corruptionJoe Thornber
Fix a bug in dm_btree_remove that could leave leaf values with incorrect reference counts. The effect of this was that removal of a shared block could result in the space maps thinking the block was no longer used. More concretely, if you have a thin device and a snapshot of it, sending a discard to a shared region of the thin could corrupt the snapshot. Thinp uses a 2-level nested btree to store it's mappings. This first level is indexed by thin device, and the second level by logical block. Often when we're removing an entry in this mapping tree we need to rebalance nodes, which can involve shadowing them, possibly creating a copy if the block is shared. If we do create a copy then children of that node need to have their reference counts incremented. In this way reference counts percolate down the tree as shared trees diverge. The rebalance functions were incrementing the children at the appropriate time, but they were always assuming the children were internal nodes. This meant the leaf values (in our case packed block/flags entries) were not being incremented.

2013-03-01dm thin: remove cells from stackJoe Thornber
This patch takes advantage of the new bio-prison interface where the memory is now passed in rather than using a mempool in bio-prison. This allows the map function to avoid performing potentially-blocking allocations that could lead to deadlocks: We want to avoid the cell allocation that is done in bio_detain.

2013-03-01dm kcopyd: introduce configurable throttlingMikulas Patocka
This patch allows the administrator to reduce the rate at which kcopyd issues I/O. Each module that uses kcopyd acquires a throttle parameter that can be set in /sys/module/*/parameters. We maintain a history of kcopyd usage by each module in the variables io_period and total_period in struct dm_kcopyd_throttle. The actual kcopyd activity is calculated as a percentage of time equal to "(100 * io_period / total_period)". This is compared with the user-defined throttle percentage threshold and if it is exceeded, we sleep.

2013-03-01dm: fix truncated status stringsMikulas Patocka
Avoid returning a truncated table or status string instead of setting the DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG when the last target of a table fills the buffer. When processing a table or status request, the function retrieve_status calls ti->type->status. If ti->type->status returns non-zero, retrieve_status assumes that the buffer overflowed and sets DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG. However, targets don't return non-zero values from their status method on overflow. Most targets returns always zero. If a buffer overflow happens in a target that is not the last in the table, it gets noticed during the next iteration of the loop in retrieve_status; but if a buffer overflow happens in the last target, it goes unnoticed and erroneously truncated data is returned. In the current code, the targets behave in the following way: * dm-crypt returns -ENOMEM if there is not enough space to store the key, but it returns 0 on all other overflows. * dm-thin returns errors from the status method if a disk error happened. This is incorrect because retrieve_status doesn't check the error code, it assumes that all non-zero values mean buffer overflow. * all the other targets always return 0. This patch changes the ti->type->status function to return void (because most targets don't use the return code). Overflow is detected in retrieve_status: if the status method fills up the remaining space completely, it is assumed that buffer overflow happened.

2013-01-31dm thin: fix queue limits stackingMike Snitzer
thin_io_hints() is blindly copying the queue limits from the thin-pool which can lead to incorrect limits being set. The fix here simply deletes the thin_io_hints() hook which leaves the existing stacking infrastructure to set the limits correctly. When a thin-pool uses an MD device for the data device a thin device from the thin-pool must respect MD's constraints about disallowing a bio from spanning multiple chunks. Otherwise we can see problems. If the raid0 chunksize is 1152K and thin-pool chunksize is 256K I see the following md/raid0 error (with extra debug tracing added to thin_endio) when mkfs.xfs is executed against the thin device: md/raid0:md99: make_request bug: can't convert block across chunks or bigger than 1152k 6688 127 device-mapper: thin: bio sector=2080 err=-5 bi_size=130560 bi_rw=17 bi_vcnt=32 bi_idx=0 This extra DM debugging shows that the failing bio is spanning across the first and second logical 1152K chunk (sector 2080 + 255 takes the bio beyond the first chunk's boundary of sector 2304). So the bio splitting that DM is doing clearly isn't respecting the MD limits. max_hw_sectors_kb is 127 for both the thin-pool and thin device (queue_max_hw_sectors returns 255 so we'll excuse sysfs's lack of precision). So this explains why bi_size is 130560. But the thin device's max_hw_sectors_kb should be 4 (PAGE_SIZE) given that it doesn't have a .merge function (for bio_add_page to consult indirectly via dm_merge_bvec) yet the thin-pool does sit above an MD device that has a compulsory merge_bvec_fn. This scenario is exactly why DM must resort to sending single PAGE_SIZE bios to the underlying layer. Some additional context for this is available in the header for commit 8cbeb67a ("dm: avoid unsupported spanning of md stripe boundaries"). Long story short, the reason a thin device doesn't properly get configured to have a max_hw_sectors_kb of 4 (PAGE_SIZE) is that thin_io_hints() is blindly copying the queue limits from the thin-pool device directly to the thin device's queue limits. Fix this by eliminating thin_io_hints. Doing so is safe because the block layer's queue limits stacking already enables the upper level thin device to inherit the thin-pool device's discard and minimum_io_size and optimal_io_size limits that get set in pool_io_hints. But avoiding the queue limits copy allows the thin and thin-pool limits to be different where it is important, namely max_hw_sectors_kb.

Add WRITE SAME support to dm-io and make it accessible to dm_kcopyd_zero(). dm_kcopyd_zero() provides an asynchronous interface whereas the blkdev_issue_write_same() interface is synchronous. WRITE SAME is a SCSI command that can be leveraged for more efficient zeroing of a specified logical extent of a device which supports it.

2012-12-21dm thin: fix race between simultaneous io and discards to same blockJoe Thornber
There is a race when discard bios and non-discard bios are issued simultaneously to the same block. Discard support is expensive for all thin devices precisely because you have to be careful to quiesce the area you're discarding. DM thin must handle this conflicting IO pattern (simultaneous non-discard vs discard) even though a sane application shouldn't be issuing such IO. The race manifests as follows: 1. A non-discard bio is mapped in thin_bio_map. This doesn't lock out parallel activity to the same block. 2. A discard bio is issued to the same block as the non-discard bio. 3. The discard bio is locked in a dm_bio_prison_cell in process_discard to lock out parallel activity against the same block. 4. The non-discard bio's mapping continues and its all_io_entry is incremented so the bio is accounted for in the thin pool's all_io_ds which is a dm_deferred_set used to track time locality of non-discard IO. 5. The non-discard bio is finally locked in a dm_bio_prison_cell in process_bio. The race can result in deadlock, leaving the block layer hanging waiting for completion of a discard bio that never completes, e.g.: INFO: task ruby:15354 blocked for more than 120 seconds. "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. ruby D ffffffff8160f0e0 0 15354 15314 0x00000000 ffff8802fb08bc58 0000000000000082 ffff8802fb08bfd8 0000000000012900 ffff8802fb08a010 0000000000012900 0000000000012900 0000000000012900 ffff8802fb08bfd8 0000000000012900 ffff8803324b9480 ffff88032c6f14c0 Call Trace: [<ffffffff814e5a19>] schedule+0x29/0x70 [<ffffffff814e3d85>] schedule_timeout+0x195/0x220 [<ffffffffa06b9bc1>] ? _dm_request+0x111/0x160 [dm_mod] [<ffffffff814e589e>] wait_for_common+0x11e/0x190 [<ffffffff8107a170>] ? try_to_wake_up+0x2b0/0x2b0 [<ffffffff814e59ed>] wait_for_completion+0x1d/0x20 [<ffffffff81233289>] blkdev_issue_discard+0x219/0x260 [<ffffffff81233e79>] blkdev_ioctl+0x6e9/0x7b0 [<ffffffff8119a65c>] block_ioctl+0x3c/0x40 [<ffffffff8117539c>] do_vfs_ioctl+0x8c/0x340 [<ffffffff8119a547>] ? block_llseek+0x67/0xb0 [<ffffffff811756f1>] sys_ioctl+0xa1/0xb0 [<ffffffff810561f6>] ? sys_rt_sigprocmask+0x86/0xd0 [<ffffffff814ef099>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b The thinp-test-suite's test_discard_random_sectors reliably hits this deadlock on fast SSD storage. The fix for this race is that the all_io_entry for a bio must be incremented whilst the dm_bio_prison_cell is held for the bio's associated virtual and physical blocks. That cell locking wasn't occurring early enough in thin_bio_map. This patch fixes this. Care is taken to always call the new function inc_all_io_entry() with the relevant cells locked, but they are generally unlocked before calling issue() to try to avoid holding the cells locked across generic_submit_request. Also, now that thin_bio_map may lock bios in a cell, process_bio() is no longer the only thread that will do so. Because of this we must be sure to use cell_defer_except() to release all non-holder entries, that were added by the other thread, because they must be deferred.

2012-12-21dm thin: replace dm_cell_release_singleton with cell_defer_exceptJoe Thornber
Change existing users of the function dm_cell_release_singleton to share cell_defer_except instead, and then remove the now-unused function. Everywhere that calls dm_cell_release_singleton, the bio in question is the holder of the cell. If there are no non-holder entries in the cell then cell_defer_except behaves exactly like dm_cell_release_singleton. Conversely, if there *are* non-holder entries then dm_cell_release_singleton must not be used because those entries would need to be deferred. Consequently, it is safe to replace use of dm_cell_release_singleton with cell_defer_except. This patch is a pre-requisite for "dm thin: fix race between simultaneous io and discards to same block".

If an incompatibility is found then the pool's 'discard passdown' feature is disabled. Change thin_io_hints to ensure that a thin device always uses the same queue limits as its pool device. Introduce requested_pf to track whether or not the table line originally contained the no_discard_passdown flag and use this directly for table output.

2012-09-26dm thin: do not set discard_zeroes_dataMike Snitzer
The dm thin pool target claims to support the zeroing of discarded data areas. This turns out to be incorrect when processing discards that do not exactly cover a complete number of blocks, so the target must always set discard_zeroes_data_unsupported. The thin pool target will zero blocks when they are allocated if the skip_block_zeroing feature is not specified. The block layer may send a discard that only partly covers a block. If a thin pool block is partially discarded then there is no guarantee that the discarded data will get zeroed before it is accessed again. Due to this, thin devices cannot claim discards will always zero data.

2012-07-27dm thin: optimize power of two block sizeMikulas Patocka
dm-thin will be most likely used with a block size that is a power of two. So it should be optimized for this case. This patch changes division and modulo operations to shifts and bit masks if block size is a power of two. A test that bi_sector is divisible by a block size is removed from io_overlaps_block. Device mapper never sends bios that span a block boundary. Consequently, if we tested that bi_size is equivalent to block size, bi_sector must already be on a block boundary.

2012-07-27dm thin: split discards on block boundaryMikulas Patocka
This patch sets the variable "ti->split_discard_requests" for the dm thin target so that device mapper core splits discard requests on a block boundary. Consequently, a discard request that spans multiple blocks is never sent to dm-thin. The patch also removes some code in process_discard that deals with discards that span multiple blocks.

2012-07-27dm thin: support for non power of 2 pool blocksizeMike Snitzer
Non power of 2 blocksize support is needed to properly align thinp IO on storage that has non power of 2 optimal IO sizes (e.g. RAID6 10+2). Use sector_div to support non power of 2 blocksize for the pool's data device. This provides comparable performance to the power of 2 math that was performed until now (as tested on modern x86_64 hardware). The kernel currently assumes that limits->discard_granularity is a power of two so the thin target only enables discard support if the block size is a power of two. Eliminate pool structure's 'block_shift', 'offset_mask' and remaining 4 byte holes.

2012-07-27dm: support non power of two target max_io_lenMike Snitzer
Remove the restriction that limits a target's specified maximum incoming I/O size to be a power of 2. Rename this setting from 'split_io' to the less-ambiguous 'max_io_len'. Change it from sector_t to uint32_t, which is plenty big enough, and introduce a wrapper function dm_set_target_max_io_len() to set it. Use sector_div() to process it now that it is not necessarily a power of 2. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
