When copyying blocks to host-managed zoned block devices, writes must be
sequential. However, dm_kcopyd_copy() does not guarantee this as writes
are issued in the completion order of reads, and reads may complete out
of order despite being issued sequentially.
Fix this by introducing the DM_KCOPYD_WRITE_SEQ feature flag. This can
be specified when calling dm_kcopyd_copy() and should be set
automatically if one of the destinations is a host-managed zoned block
device. For a split job, the master job maintains the write position at
which writes must be issued. This is checked with the pop() function
which is modified to not return any write I/O sub job that is not at the
correct write position.
When DM_KCOPYD_WRITE_SEQ is specified for a job, errors cannot be
ignored and the flag DM_KCOPYD_IGNORE_ERROR is ignored, even if
specified by the user.

__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".
Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.
This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.
This patch then converts a number of sites
o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.
o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.
o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
flag manipulations.
o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.
The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.
The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

If we write a full chunk in the snapshot, skip reading the origin device
because the whole chunk will be overwritten anyway.
This patch changes the snapshot write logic when a full chunk is written.
In this case:
1. allocate the exception
2. dispatch the bio (but don't report the bio completion to device mapper)
3. write the exception record
4. report bio completed
Callbacks must be done through the kcopyd thread, because callbacks must not
race with each other. So we create two new functions:
dm_kcopyd_prepare_callback: allocate a job structure and prepare the callback.
(This function must not be called from interrupt context.)
dm_kcopyd_do_callback: submit callback.
(This function may be called from interrupt context.)

There's a possible theoretical deadlock in dm-kcopyd because multiple
allocations from the same mempool are required to finish a request.
Avoid this by preallocating sub jobs.
There is a mempool of 512 entries. Each request requires up to 9
entries from the mempool. If we have at least 57 concurrent requests
running, the mempool may overflow and mempool allocations may start
blocking until another entry is freed to the mempool. Because the same
thread is used to free entries to the mempool and allocate entries from
the mempool, this may result in a deadlock.
This patch changes it so that one mempool entry contains all 9 "struct
kcopyd_job" required to fulfill the whole request. The allocation is
done only once in dm_kcopyd_copy and no further mempool allocations are
done during request processing.
If dm_kcopyd_copy is not run in the completion thread, this
implementation is deadlock-free.

further to 8.

Make kcopyd merge more I/O requests by using device unplugging.
Without this patch, each I/O request is dispatched separately to the device.
If the device supports tagged queuing, there are many small requests sent
to the device. To improve performance, this patch will batch as many requests
as possible, allowing the queue to merge consecutive requests, and send them
to the device at once.
In my tests (15k SCSI disk), this patch improves sequential write throughput:
Sequential write throughput (chunksize of 4k, 32k, 512k)
unpatched: 15.2, 18.5, 17.5 MB/s
patched: 14.4, 22.6, 23.0 MB/s
In most common uses (snapshot or two-way mirror), kcopyd is only used for
two devices, one for reading and the other for writing, thus this optimization
is implemented only for two devices. The optimization may be extended to n-way
mirrors with some code complexity increase.
We keep track of two block devices to unplug (one for read and the
other for write) and unplug them when exiting "do_work" thread. If
there are more devices used (in theory it could happen, in practice it
is rare), we unplug immediately.

This patch changes dm-kcopyd so that it accepts zero-size jobs and completes

It is needed for multisnapshots snapshot resizing. When we are writing to
a chunk beyond origin end, no copying is done. To simplify the code, we submit
an empty request to kcopyd and let kcopyd complete it. If we didn't submit

it would need additional locking.

If the thread calling dm_kcopyd_copy is delayed due to scheduling inside
split_job/segment_complete and the subjobs complete before the loop in
split_job completes, the kcopyd callback could be invoked from the
thread that called dm_kcopyd_copy instead of the kcopyd workqueue.
dm_kcopyd_copy -> split_job -> segment_complete -> job->fn()
Snapshots depend on the fact that callbacks are called from the singlethreaded
kcopyd workqueue and expect that there is no racing between individual
callbacks. The racing between callbacks can lead to corruption of exception
store and it can also mean that exception store callbacks are called twice
for the same exception - a likely reason for crashes reported inside
pending_complete() / remove_exception().
This patch fixes two problems:
1. job->fn being called from the thread that submitted the job (see above).
- Fix: hand over the completion callback to the kcopyd thread.
2. job->fn(read_err, write_err, job->context); in segment_complete
reports the error of the last subjob, not the union of all errors.
- Fix: pass job->write_err to the callback to report all error bits
(it is done already in run_complete_job)

Write throughput to LVM snapshot origin volume is an order
of magnitude slower than those to LV without snapshots or
snapshot target volumes, especially in the case of sequential
writes with O_SYNC on.
The following patch originally written by Kevin Jamieson and
Jan Blunck and slightly modified for the current RCs by myself
tries to improve the performance by modifying the behaviour
of kcopyd, so that it pushes back an I/O job to the head of
the job queue instead of the tail as process_jobs() currently
does when it has to wait for free pages. This way, write
requests aren't shuffled to cause extra seeks.
I tested the patch against 2.6.27-rc5 and got the following results.
The test is a dd command writing to snapshot origin followed by fsync
to the file just created/updated. A couple of filesystem benchmarks
gave me similar results in case of sequential writes, while random
writes didn't suffer much.
dd if=/dev/zero of=<somewhere on snapshot origin> bs=4096 count=...
[conv=notrunc when updating]
1) linux 2.6.27-rc5 without the patch, write to snapshot origin,
average throughput (MB/s)

update,dd 431.63 917.41 12.75
update,dd+fsync 7.79 7.43 8.12
compared with write throughput to LV without any snapshots,
all dd+fsync and 1000 MiB writes perform very poorly.
10M 100M 1000M

Remove an avoidable 3ms delay on some dm-raid1 and kcopyd I/O.
It is specified that any submitted bio without BIO_RW_SYNC flag may plug the
queue (i.e. block the requests from being dispatched to the physical device).
The queue is unplugged when the caller calls blk_unplug() function. Usually, the
sequence is that someone calls submit_bh to submit IO on a buffer. The IO plugs
the queue and waits (to be possibly joined with other adjacent bios). Then, when
the caller calls wait_on_buffer(), it unplugs the queue and submits the IOs to
the disk.
This was happenning:
When doing O_SYNC writes, function fsync_buffers_list() submits a list of
bios to dm_raid1, the bios are added to dm_raid1 write queue and kmirrord is
woken up.
fsync_buffers_list() calls wait_on_buffer(). That unplugs the queue, but
there are no bios on the device queue as they are still in the dm_raid1 queue.
wait_on_buffer() starts waiting until the IO is finished.
kmirrord is scheduled, kmirrord takes bios and submits them to the devices.
The submitted bio plugs the harddisk queue but there is no one to unplug it.
(The process that called wait_on_buffer() is already sleeping.)
So there is a 3ms timeout, after which the queues on the harddisks are
unplugged and requests are processed.
This 3ms timeout meant that in certain workloads (e.g. O_SYNC, 8kb writes),
dm-raid1 is 10 times slower than md raid1.
Every time we submit something asynchronously via dm_io, we must unplug the
queue actually to send the request to the device.
This patch adds an unplug call to kmirrord - while processing requests, it keeps
the queue plugged (so that adjacent bios can be merged); when it finishes
processing all the bios, it unplugs the queue to submit the bios.
It also fixes kcopyd which has the same potential problem. All kcopyd requests
are submitted with BIO_RW_SYNC.
