Micro benchmarks that repeatedly issued IO to a single block were
failing to cause a promotion from the origin device to the cache. Fix
this by not updating the stats during map() if -EWOULDBLOCK will be
returned.
The mq policy will only update stats, consider migration, etc, once per
tick period (a unit of time established between dm-cache core and the
policies).
When the IO thread calls the policy's map method, if it would like to
migrate the associated block it returns -EWOULDBLOCK, the IO then gets
handed over to a worker thread which handles the migration. The worker
thread calls map again, to check the migration is still needed (avoids a
race among other things). *BUT*, before this fix, if we were still in
the same tick period the stats were already updated by the previous map
call -- so the migration would no longer be requested.

A thin-pool may be in read-only mode because the pool's data or metadata
space was exhausted. To allow for recovery, by adding more space to the
pool, we must allow a pool to transition from PM_READ_ONLY to PM_WRITE
mode. Otherwise, running out of space will render the pool permanently
read-only.

If the thin-pool transitioned to fail mode and the thin-pool's table
were reloaded for some reason: the new table's default pool mode would
be read-write, though it will transition to fail mode during resume.
When the pool mode transitions directly from PM_WRITE to PM_FAIL we need
to re-establish the intermediate read-only state in both the metadata
and persistent-data block manager (as is usually done with the normal
pool mode transition sequence: PM_WRITE -> PM_READ_ONLY -> PM_FAIL).

There is a possible leak of snapshot space in case of crash.
The reason for space leaking is that chunks in the snapshot device are
allocated sequentially, but they are finished (and stored in the metadata)
out of order, depending on the order in which copying finished.
For example, supposed that the metadata contains the following records
SUPERBLOCK
METADATA (blocks 0 ... 250)
DATA 0
DATA 1
DATA 2
...
DATA 250
Now suppose that you allocate 10 new data blocks 251-260. Suppose that
copying of these blocks finish out of order (block 260 finished first
and the block 251 finished last). Now, the snapshot device looks like
this:
SUPERBLOCK
METADATA (blocks 0 ... 250, 260, 259, 258, 257, 256)
DATA 0
DATA 1
DATA 2
...
DATA 250
DATA 251
DATA 252
DATA 253
DATA 254
DATA 255
METADATA (blocks 255, 254, 253, 252, 251)
DATA 256
DATA 257
DATA 258
DATA 259
DATA 260
Now, if the machine crashes after writing the first metadata block but
before writing the second metadata block, the space for areas DATA 250-255
is leaked, it contains no valid data and it will never be used in the
future.
This patch makes dm-snapshot complete exceptions in the same order they
were allocated, thus fixing this bug.
Note: when backporting this patch to the stable kernel, change the version
field in the following way:
* if version in the stable kernel is {1, 11, 1}, change it to {1, 12, 0}
* if version in the stable kernel is {1, 10, 0} or {1, 10, 1}, change it
to {1, 10, 2}
Userspace reads the version to determine if the bug was fixed, so the
version change is needed.

commit 566c09c534 raid5: relieve lock contention in get_active_stripe()
modified the locking in get_active_stripe() reducing the range
protected by the (highly contended) device_lock.
Unfortunately it reduced the range too much opening up some races.
One race can occur if get_priority_stripe runs between the
test on sh->count and device_lock being taken.
This will mean that sh->lru is not empty while get_active_stripe
thinks ->count is zero resulting in a 'BUG' firing.
Another race happens if __release_stripe is called immediately
after sh->count is tested and found to be non-zero. If STRIPE_HANDLE
is not set, get_active_stripe should increment ->active_stripes
when it increments ->count from 0, but as it didn't think it was 0,
it doesn't.
Extending device_lock to cover the test on sh->count close these
races.
While we are here, fix the two BUG tests:
-If count is zero, then lru really must not be empty, or we've
lock the stripe_head somehow - no other tests are relevant.
-STRIPE_ON_RELEASE_LIST is completely independent of ->lru so
testing it is pointless.

The new bio_split() can split arbitrary bios - it's not restricted to
single page bios, like the old bio_split() (previously renamed to
bio_pair_split()). It also has different semantics - it doesn't allocate
a struct bio_pair, leaving it up to the caller to handle completions.
Then convert the existing bio_pair_split() users to the new bio_split()
- and also nvme, which was open coding bio splitting.
(We have to take that BUG_ON() out of bio_integrity_trim() because this
bio_split() needs to use it, and there's no reason it has to be used on
bios marked as cloned; BIO_CLONED doesn't seem to have clearly
documented semantics anyways.)

This adds a generic mechanism for chaining bio completions. This is
going to be used for a bio_split() replacement, and it turns out to be
very useful in a fair amount of driver code - a fair number of drivers
were implementing this in their own roundabout ways, often painfully.
Note that this means it's no longer to call bio_endio() more than once
on the same bio! This can cause problems for drivers that save/restore
bi_end_io. Arguably they shouldn't be saving/restoring bi_end_io at all
- in all but the simplest cases they'd be better off just cloning the
bio, and immutable biovecs is making bio cloning cheaper. But for now,
we add a bio_endio_nodec() for these cases.

Now that drivers have been converted to the new bvec_iter primitives,
there's no need to trim the bvec before we submit it; and we can't trim
it once we start sharing bvecs.
It used to be that passing a partially completed bio (i.e. one with
nonzero bi_idx) to generic_make_request() was a dangerous thing -
various drivers would choke on such things. But with immutable biovecs
and our new bio splitting that shares the biovecs, submitting partially
completed bios has to work (and should work, now that all the drivers
have been completed to the new primitives)

When we start sharing biovecs, keeping bi_vcnt accurate for splits is
going to be error prone - and unnecessary, if we refactor some code.
So bio_segments() has to go - but most of the existing users just needed
to know if the bio had multiple segments, which is easier - add a
bio_multiple_segments() for them.
(Two of the current uses of bio_segments() are going to go away in a
couple patches, but the current implementation of bio_segments() is
unsafe as soon as we start doing driver conversions for immutable
biovecs - so implement a dumb version for bisectability, it'll go away

Some of the existing users really do need a pointer into the bvec array

There is an iobarrier in raid1 because of contention between normal IO and
resync IO. It suspends all normal IO when resync/recovery happens.
However if normal IO is out side the resync window, there is no contention.
So this patch changes the barrier mechanism to only block IO that
could contend with the resync that is currently happening.
We partition the whole space into five parts.
|---------|-----------|------------|----------------|-------|
start next_resync start_next_window end_window
start + RESYNC_WINDOW = next_resync
next_resync + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE = start_next_window
start_next_window + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE = end_window
Firstly we introduce some concepts:
1 - RESYNC_WINDOW: For resync, there are 32 resync requests at most at the
same time. A sync request is RESYNC_BLOCK_SIZE(64*1024).
So the RESYNC_WINDOW is 32 * RESYNC_BLOCK_SIZE, that is 2MB.
2 - NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE: the distance between next_resync
and start_next_window. It also indicates the distance between
start_next_window and end_window.
It is currently 3 * RESYNC_WINDOW_SIZE but could be tuned if
this turned out not to be optimal.
3 - next_resync: the next sector at which we will do sync IO.
4 - start: a position which is at most RESYNC_WINDOW before
next_resync.
5 - start_next_window: a position which is NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE
beyond next_resync. Normal-io after this position doesn't need to
wait for resync-io to complete.
6 - end_window: a position which is 2 * NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE beyond
next_resync. This also doesn't need to wait, but is counted
differently.
7 - current_window_requests: the count of normalIO between
start_next_window and end_window.
8 - next_window_requests: the count of normalIO after end_window.
NormalIO will be partitioned into four types:
NormIO1: the end sector of bio is smaller or equal the start
NormIO2: the start sector of bio larger or equal to end_window
NormIO3: the start sector of bio larger or equal to
start_next_window.
NormIO4: the location between start_next_window and end_window
|--------|-----------|--------------------|----------------|-------------|
| start | next_resync | start_next_window | end_window |
NormIO1 NormIO4 NormIO4 NormIO3 NormIO2
For NormIO1, we don't need any io barrier.
For NormIO4, we used a similar approach to the original iobarrier
mechanism. The normalIO and resyncIO must be kept separate.
For NormIO2/3, we add two fields to struct r1conf: "current_window_requests"
and "next_window_requests". They indicate the count of active
requests in the two window.
For these, we don't wait for resync io to complete.
For resync action, if there are NormIO4s, we must wait for it.
If not, we can proceed.
But if resync action reaches start_next_window and
current_window_requests > 0 (that is there are NormIO3s), we must
wait until the current_window_requests becomes zero.
When current_window_requests becomes zero, start_next_window also
moves forward. Then current_window_requests will replaced by
next_window_requests.
There is a problem which when and how to change from NormIO2 to
NormIO3. Only then can sync action progress.
We add a field in struct r1conf "start_next_window".
A: if start_next_window == MaxSector, it means there are no NormIO2/3.
So start_next_window = next_resync + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE
B: if current_window_requests == 0 && next_window_requests != 0, it
means start_next_window move to end_window
There is another problem which how to differentiate between
old NormIO2(now it is NormIO3) and NormIO2.
For example, there are many bios which are NormIO2 and a bio which is
NormIO3. NormIO3 firstly completed, so the bios of NormIO2 became NormIO3.
We add a field in struct r1bio "start_next_window".
This is used to record the position conf->start_next_window when the call
to wait_barrier() is made in make_request().
In allow_barrier(), we check the conf->start_next_window.
If r1bio->stat_next_window == conf->start_next_window, it means
there is no transition between NormIO2 and NormIO3.
If r1bio->start_next_window != conf->start_next_window, it mean
there was a transition between NormIO2 and NormIO3. There can only
have been one transition. So it only means the bio is old NormIO2.
For one bio, there may be many r1bio's. So we make sure
all the r1bio->start_next_window are the same value.
If we met blocked_dev in make_request(), it must call allow_barrier
and wait_barrier. So the former and the later value of
conf->start_next_window will be change.
If there are many r1bio's with differnet start_next_window,
for the relevant bio, it depend on the last value of r1bio.
It will cause error. To avoid this, we must wait for previous r1bios
to complete.

We used to use raise_barrier to suspend normal IO while we reconfigure
the array. However raise_barrier will soon only suspend some normal
IO, not all. So we need something else.
Change it to use freeze_array.
But freeze_array not only suspends normal io, it also suspends
resync io.

When raid5 recovery hits a fresh badblock, this badblock will flagged as unack
badblock until md_update_sb() is called.
But md_stop will take reconfig lock which means raid5d can't call
md_update_sb() in md_check_recovery(), the badblock will always
be unack, so raid5d thread enters an infinite loop and md_stop_write()
can never stop sync_thread. This causes deadlock.
To solve this, when STOP_ARRAY ioctl is issued and sync_thread is
running, we need set md->recovery FROZEN and INTR flags and wait for
sync_thread to stop before we (re)take reconfig lock.
This requires that raid5 reshape_request notices MD_RECOVERY_INTR
(which it probably should have noticed anyway) and stops waiting for a
metadata update in that case.

We currently use kthread_should_stop() in various places in the
sync/reshape code to abort early.
However some places set MD_RECOVERY_INTR but don't immediately call
md_reap_sync_thread() (and we will shortly get another one).
When this happens we are relying on md_check_recovery() to reap the
thread and that only happen when it finishes normally.
So MD_RECOVERY_INTR must lead to a normal finish without the
kthread_should_stop() test.
So replace all relevant tests, and be more careful when the thread is
interrupted not to acknowledge that latest step in a reshape as it may
not be fully committed yet.
Also add a test on MD_RECOVERY_INTR in the 'is_mddev_idle' loop
so we don't wait have to wait for the speed to drop before we can abort.

get_active_stripe() is the last place we have lock contention. It has two
paths. One is stripe isn't found and new stripe is allocated, the other is
stripe is found.
The first path basically calls __find_stripe and init_stripe. It accesses
conf->generation, conf->previous_raid_disks, conf->raid_disks,
conf->prev_chunk_sectors, conf->chunk_sectors, conf->max_degraded,
conf->prev_algo, conf->algorithm, the stripe_hashtbl and inactive_list. Except
stripe_hashtbl and inactive_list, other fields are changed very rarely.
With this patch, we split inactive_list and add new hash locks. Each free
stripe belongs to a specific inactive list. Which inactive list is determined
by stripe's lock_hash. Note, even a stripe hasn't a sector assigned, it has a
lock_hash assigned. Stripe's inactive list is protected by a hash lock, which
is determined by it's lock_hash too. The lock_hash is derivied from current
stripe_hashtbl hash, which guarantees any stripe_hashtbl list will be assigned
to a specific lock_hash, so we can use new hash lock to protect stripe_hashtbl
list too. The goal of the new hash locks introduced is we can only use the new
locks in the first path of get_active_stripe(). Since we have several hash
locks, lock contention is relieved significantly.
The first path of get_active_stripe() accesses other fields, since they are
changed rarely, changing them now need take conf->device_lock and all hash
locks. For a slow path, this isn't a problem.
If we need lock device_lock and hash lock, we always lock hash lock first. The
tricky part is release_stripe and friends. We need take device_lock first.
Neil's suggestion is we put inactive stripes to a temporary list and readd it
to inactive_list after device_lock is released. In this way, we add stripes to
temporary list with device_lock hold and remove stripes from the list with hash
lock hold. So we don't allow concurrent access to the temporary list, which
means we need allocate temporary list for all participants of release_stripe.
One downside is free stripes are maintained in their inactive list, they can't
across between the lists. By default, we have total 256 stripes and 8 lists, so
each list will have 32 stripes. It's possible one list has free stripe but
other list hasn't. The chance should be rare because stripes allocation are
even distributed. And we can always allocate more stripes for cache, several
mega bytes memory isn't a big deal.
This completely removes the lock contention of the first path of
get_active_stripe(). It slows down the second code path a little bit though
because we now need takes two locks, but since the hash lock isn't contended,
the overhead should be quite small (several atomic instructions). The second
path of get_active_stripe() (basically sequential write or big request size
randwrite) still has lock contentions.

The various ->run routines of md personalities assume that the 'queue'
has been initialised by the blk_set_stacking_limits() call in
md_alloc().
However when the level is changed (by level_store()) the ->run routine
for the new level is called for an array which has already had the
stacking limits modified. This can result in incorrect final
settings.
So call blk_set_stacking_limits() before ->run in level_store().
A specific consequence of this bug is that it causes
discard_granularity to be set incorrectly when reshaping a RAID4 to a
RAID0.
This is suitable for any -stable kernel since 3.3 in which
blk_set_stacking_limits() was introduced.

Pull block IO core updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the pull request for the core changes in the block layer for
3.13. It contains:
- The new blk-mq request interface.
This is a new and more scalable queueing model that marries the
best part of the request based interface we currently have (which
is fully featured, but scales poorly) and the bio based "interface"
which the new drivers for high IOPS devices end up using because
it's much faster than the request based one.
The bio interface has no block layer support, since it taps into
the stack much earlier. This means that drivers end up having to
implement a lot of functionality on their own, like tagging,
timeout handling, requeue, etc. The blk-mq interface provides all
these. Some drivers even provide a switch to select bio or rq and
has code to handle both, since things like merging only works in
the rq model and hence is faster for some workloads. This is a
huge mess. Conversion of these drivers nets us a substantial code
reduction. Initial results on converting SCSI to this model even
shows an 8x improvement on single queue devices. So while the
model was intended to work on the newer multiqueue devices, it has
substantial improvements for "classic" hardware as well. This code
has gone through extensive testing and development, it's now ready
to go. A pull request is coming to convert virtio-blk to this
model will be will be coming as well, with more drivers scheduled
for 3.14 conversion.

"Passthrough" is a dm-cache operating mode (like writethrough or

known to be coherent with the origin device. It behaves as follows:
* All reads are served from the origin device (all reads miss the cache)
* All writes are forwarded to the origin device; additionally, write
hits cause cache block invalidates
This mode decouples cache coherency checks from cache device creation,
largely to avoid having to perform coherency checks while booting. Boot
scripts can create cache devices in passthrough mode and put them into
service (mount cached filesystems, for example) without having to worry
about coherency. Coherency that exists is maintained, although the
cache will gradually cool as writes take place.
Later, applications can perform coherency checks, the nature of which
will depend on the type of the underlying storage. If coherency can be
verified, the cache device can be transitioned to writethrough or
writeback mode while still warm; otherwise, the cache contents can be
discarded prior to transitioning to the desired operating mode.

Big garbage collection rewrite; now, garbage collection uses the same
mechanisms as used elsewhere for inserting/updating btree node pointers,
instead of rewriting interior btree nodes in place.
This makes the code significantly cleaner and less fragile, and means we
can now make garbage collection incremental - it doesn't have to hold a
write lock on the root of the btree for the entire duration of garbage
collection.
This means that there's less of a latency hit for doing garbage
collection, which means we can gc more frequently (and do a better job
of reclaiming from the cache), and we can coalesce across more btree
nodes (improving our space efficiency).

The bucket refcount (dropped with bkey_put()) is only needed to prevent

with garbage collection.

Previously, bch_ptr_bad() could return false when there was a pointer to
a nonexistant device... it only filtered out keys with PTR_CHECK_DEV
pointers.
This behaviour was intended for multiple cache device support; for that,
just because the device for one of the pointers has gone away doesn't
mean we want to filter out the rest of the pointers.
But we don't yet explicitly filter/check individual pointers, so without
that this behaviour was wrong - a corrupt bkey with a bad device pointer
could cause us to deref a bad pointer. Doh.

There was some looping in submit_partial_cache_hit() and
submit_partial_cache_hit() that isn't needed anymore - originally, we
wouldn't necessarily process the full hit or miss all at once because
when splitting the bio, we took into account the restrictions of the
device we were sending it to.
But, device bio size restrictions are now handled elsewhere, with a
wrapper around generic_make_request() - so that looping has been
unnecessary for awhile now and we can now do quite a bit of cleanup.
And if we trim the key we're reading from to match the subset we're
actually reading, we don't have to explicitly calculate bi_sector
anymore. Neat.

We'll often end up with a list of adjacent keys to insert -
because bch_data_insert() may have to fragment the data it writes.
Originally, to simplify things and avoid having to deal with corner
cases bch_btree_insert() would pass keys from this list one at a time to
btree_insert_recurse() - mainly because the list of keys might span leaf
nodes, so it was easier this way.
With the btree_insert_node() refactoring, it's now a lot easier to just
pass down the whole list and have btree_insert_recurse() iterate over
leaf nodes until it's done.
Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com>
The flow of control in the old btree insertion code was rather -
backwards; we'd recurse down the btree (in btree_insert_recurse()), and
then if we needed to split the keys to be inserted into the parent node
would be effectively returned up to btree_insert_recurse(), which would
notice there was more work to do and finish the insertion.
The main problem with this was that the full logic for btree insertion
could only be used by calling btree_insert_recurse; if you'd gotten to a
btree leaf some other way and had a key to insert, if it turned out that
node needed to be split you were SOL.
This inverts the flow of control so btree_insert_node() does _full_
btree insertion, including splitting - and takes a (leaf) btree node to
insert into as a parameter.
This means we can now _correctly_ handle cache misses - for cache
misses, we need to insert a fake "check" key into the btree when we
discover we have a cache miss - while we still have the btree locked.
Previously, if the btree node was full inserting a cache miss would just
fail.

On return from DM_DEV_REMOVE, the flag DM_DEFERRED_REMOVE indicates if

if the flag is clear, the device was removed.
On return from DM_DEV_STATUS and other ioctls, the flag
DM_DEFERRED_REMOVE is set if the device is scheduled to be removed on
closure.
A device that is scheduled to be deleted can be revived using the

dm-crypt can already activate TCRYPT (TrueCrypt compatible) containers
in LRW or XTS block encryption mode.
TCRYPT containers prior to version 4.1 use CBC mode with some additional
tweaks, this patch adds support for these containers.
This new mode is implemented using special IV generator named TCW
(TrueCrypt IV with whitening). TCW IV only supports containers that are
encrypted with one cipher (Tested with AES, Twofish, Serpent, CAST5 and
TripleDES).
While this mode is legacy and is known to be vulnerable to some
watermarking attacks (e.g. revealing of hidden disk existence) it can
still be useful to activate old containers without using 3rd party
software or for independent forensic analysis of such containers.
(Both the userspace and kernel code is an independent implementation
based on the format documentation and it completely avoids use of
original source code.)
The TCW IV generator uses two additional keys: Kw (whitening seed, size
is always 16 bytes - TCW_WHITENING_SIZE) and Kiv (IV seed, size is
always the IV size of the selected cipher). These keys are concatenated
at the end of the main encryption key provided in mapping table.
While whitening is completely independent from IV, it is implemented
inside IV generator for simplification.
The whitening value is always 16 bytes long and is calculated per sector
from provided Kw as initial seed, xored with sector number and mixed
with CRC32 algorithm. Resulting value is xored with ciphertext sector
content.
IV is calculated from the provided Kiv as initial IV seed and xored with
sector number.
Detailed calculation can be found in the Truecrypt documentation for
version < 4.1 and will also be described on dm-crypt site, see:
http://code.google.com/p/cryptsetup/wiki/DMCrypt
The experimental support for activation of these containers is already
present in git devel brach of cryptsetup.

Some encryption modes use extra keys (e.g. loopAES has IV seed) which
are not used in block cipher initialization but are part of key string
in table constructor.
This patch adds an additional field which describes the length of the
extra key(s) and substracts it before real key encryption setting.
The key_size always includes the size, in bytes, of the key provided
in mapping table.
The key_parts describes how many parts (usually keys) are contained in
the whole key buffer. And key_extra_size contains size in bytes of
additional keys part (this number of bytes must be subtracted because it
is processed by the IV generator).
| K1 | K2 | .... | K64 | Kiv |
|----------- key_size ----------------- |
| |-key_extra_size-|
| [64 keys] | [1 key] | => key_parts = 65
Example where key string contains main key K, whitening key
Kw and IV seed Kiv:
| K | Kiv | Kw |
|--------------- key_size --------------|
| |-----key_extra_size------|
| [1 key] | [1 key] | [1 key] | => key_parts = 3
Because key_extra_size is calculated during IV mode setting, key
initialization is moved after this step.
For now, this change has no effect to supported modes (thanks to ilog2
rounding) but it is required by the following patch.
Also, fix a sparse warning in crypt_iv_lmk_one().

When pg_init is running no I/O can be submitted to the underlying
devices, as the path priority etc might change. When using queue_io for
this, requests will be piling up within multipath as the block I/O
scheduler just sees a _very fast_ device. All of this queued I/O has to
be resubmitted from within multipathing once pg_init is done.
This approach has the problem that it's virtually impossible to
abort I/O when pg_init is running, and we're adding heavy load
to the devices after pg_init since all of the queued I/O needs to be
resubmitted _before_ any requests can be pulled off of the request queue
and normal operation continues.
This patch will requeue the I/O that triggers the pg_init call, and
return 'busy' when pg_init is in progress. With these changes the block
I/O scheduler will stop submitting I/O during pg_init, resulting in a
quicker path switch and less I/O pressure (and memory consumption) after
pg_init.

Whenever multipath_dtr() is happening we must prevent queueing any
further path activation work. Implement this by adding a new
'pg_init_disabled' flag to the multipath structure that denotes future
path activation work should be skipped if it is set. By disabling
pg_init and then re-enabling in flush_multipath_work() we also avoid the
potential for pg_init to be initiated while suspending an mpath device.
Without this patch a race condition exists that may result in a kernel
panic:
1) If after pg_init_done() decrements pg_init_in_progress to 0, a call
to wait_for_pg_init_completion() assumes there are no more pending path
management commands.
2) If pg_init_required is set by pg_init_done(), due to retryable
mode_select errors, then process_queued_ios() will again queue the
path activation work.
3) If free_multipath() completes before activate_path() work is called a

dm-mpath and dm-thin must process messages even if some device is
suspended, so we allocate argv buffer with GFP_NOIO. These messages have
a small fixed number of arguments.
On the other hand, dm-switch needs to process bulk data using messages
so excessive use of GFP_NOIO could cause trouble.
The patch also lowers the default number of arguments from 64 to 8, so
that there is smaller load on GFP_NOIO allocations.

remove discard stripe from hash list, so next time the strip will be fully

commit 7ceb17e87b
md: Allow devices to be re-added to a read-only array.
spares are activated on a read-only array. In case of raid1 and raid10
personalities it causes that not-in-sync devices are marked in-sync
without checking if recovery has been finished.
If a read-only array is degraded and one of its devices is not in-sync
(because the array has been only partially recovered) recovery will be skipped.
This patch adds checking if recovery has been finished before marking a device
in-sync for raid1 and raid10 personalities. In case of raid5 personality
such condition is already present (at raid5.c:6029).
Bug was introduced in 3.10 and causes data corruption.

This patch fixes a particular type of data corruption that has been
encountered when loading a snapshot's metadata from disk.
When we allocate a new chunk in persistent_prepare, we increment
ps->next_free and we make sure that it doesn't point to a metadata area
by further incrementing it if necessary.
When we load metadata from disk on device activation, ps->next_free is
positioned after the last used data chunk. However, if this last used
data chunk is followed by a metadata area, ps->next_free is positioned
erroneously to the metadata area. A newly-allocated chunk is placed at
the same location as the metadata area, resulting in data or metadata
corruption.
This patch changes the code so that ps->next_free skips the metadata
area when metadata are loaded in function read_exceptions.
The patch also moves a piece of code from persistent_prepare_exception
to a separate function skip_metadata to avoid code duplication.

The pre-existing sysfs interfaces which take explicit namespace
argument are weird in that they place the optional @ns in front of
@name which is contrary to the established convention. For example,
we end up forcing vast majority of sysfs_get_dirent() users to do
sysfs_get_dirent(parent, NULL, name), which is silly and error-prone
especially as @ns and @name may be interchanged without causing
compilation warning.
This renames sysfs_get_dirent() to sysfs_get_dirent_ns() and swap the
positions of @name and @ns, and sysfs_get_dirent() is now a wrapper
around sysfs_get_dirent_ns(). This makes confusions a lot less
likely.
There are other interfaces which take @ns before @name. They'll be
updated by following patches.
This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes.

a long-standing issue for dm-multipath. The conservative default
reserve for request-based dm-multipath devices (256) has proven

In writeback mode, when we get a cache flush we need to make sure we
issue a flush to the backing device.
The code for sending down an extra flush was wrong - by cloning the bio
we were probably getting flags that didn't make sense for a bare flush,
and also the old code was firing for FUA bios, for which we don't need
to send a flush to the backing device.
This was causing data corruption somehow - the mechanism was never
determined, but this patch fixes it for the users that were seeing it.

btree_sort_fixup() was overly clever, because it was trying to avoid
pulling a key off the btree iterator in more than one place.
This led to a really obscure bug where we'd break early from the loop in
btree_sort_fixup() if the current key overlapped with keys in more than
one older set, and the next key it overlapped with was zero size.

Background writeback works by scanning the btree for dirty data and
adding those keys into a fixed size buffer, then for each dirty key in
the keybuf writing it to the backing device.
When read_dirty() finishes and it's time to scan for more dirty data, we
need to wait for the outstanding writeback IO to finish - they still
take up slots in the keybuf (so that foreground writes can check for
them to avoid races) - without that wait, we'll continually rescan when
we'll be able to add at most a key or two to the keybuf, and that takes
locks that starves foreground IO. Doh.

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).

Workaround the SCSI layer's problematic WRITE SAME heuristics by
disabling WRITE SAME in the DM multipath device's queue_limits if an
underlying device disabled it.
The WRITE SAME heuristics, with both the original commit 5db44863b6
("[SCSI] sd: Implement support for WRITE SAME") and the updated commit
66c28f971 ("[SCSI] sd: Update WRITE SAME heuristics"), default to enabling
WRITE SAME(10) even without successfully determining it is supported.
After the first failed WRITE SAME the SCSI layer will disable WRITE SAME
for the device (by setting sdkp->device->no_write_same which results in
'max_write_same_sectors' in device's queue_limits to be set to 0).
When a device is stacked ontop of such a SCSI device any changes to that
SCSI device's queue_limits do not automatically propagate up the stack.
As such, a DM multipath device will not have its WRITE SAME support
disabled. This causes the block layer to continue to issue WRITE SAME
requests to the mpath device which causes paths to fail and (if mpath IO
isn't configured to queue when no paths are available) it will result in
actual IO errors to the upper layers.
This fix doesn't help configurations that have additional devices
stacked ontop of the mpath device (e.g. LVM created linear DM devices
ontop). A proper fix that restacks all the queue_limits from the bottom
of the device stack up will need to be explored if SCSI will continue to
use this model of optimistically allowing op codes and then disabling
them after they fail for the first time.

LVM2, since version 2.02.96, creates origin with zero size, then loads
the snapshot driver and then loads the origin. Consequently, the
snapshot driver sees the origin size zero and sets the hash size to the
lower bound 64. Such small hash table causes performance degradation.
This patch changes it so that the hash size is determined by the size of
snapshot volume, not minimum of origin and snapshot size. It doesn't
make sense to set the snapshot size significantly larger than the origin
size, so we do not need to take origin size into account when
calculating the hash size.

The kernel reports a lockdep warning if a snapshot is invalidated because
it runs out of space.
The lockdep warning was triggered by commit 0976dfc1d0
("workqueue: Catch more locking problems with flush_work()") in v3.5.
The warning is false positive. The real cause for the warning is that
the lockdep engine treats different instances of md->lock as a single
lock.
This patch is a workaround - we use flush_workqueue instead of flush_work.
This code path is not performance sensitive (it is called only on
initialization or invalidation), thus it doesn't matter that we flush the
whole workqueue.
The real fix for the problem would be to teach the lockdep engine to treat
different instances of md->lock as separate locks.

There was a deliberate race condition in dm_stat_for_entry() to avoid the
overhead of disabling and enabling interrupts. The race could result in
some events not being counted on 64-bit architectures.
However, on 32-bit architectures, operations on long long variables are
not atomic, so the race condition could cause the counter to jump by 2^32.
Such jumps could be disruptive, so we need to do proper locking on 32-bit

FWIW, the md and android code is pretty good, but the rest of it makes me
want to claw my eyes out. The amount of broken code I just encountered is
mind boggling. I've added comments explaining what is broken, but I fear
that some of the code would be best dealt with by being dragged behind the
bike shed, burying in mud up to it's neck and then run over repeatedly
with a blunt lawn mower.
Special mention goes to the zcache/zcache2 drivers. They can't co-exist
in the build at the same time, they are under different menu options in
menuconfig, they only show up when you've got the right set of mm
subsystem options configured and so even compile testing is an exercise in
pulling teeth. And that doesn't even take into account the horrible,
broken code...

Support the collection of I/O statistics on user-defined regions of
a DM device. If no regions are defined no statistics are collected so
there isn't any performance impact. Only bio-based DM devices are
currently supported.
Each user-defined region specifies a starting sector, length and step.
Individual statistics will be collected for each step-sized area within
the range specified.
The I/O statistics counters for each step-sized area of a region are
in the same format as /sys/block/*/stat or /proc/diskstats but extra
counters (12 and 13) are provided: total time spent reading and
writing in milliseconds. All these counters may be accessed by sending
the @stats_print message to the appropriate DM device via dmsetup.
The creation of DM statistics will allocate memory via kmalloc or
fallback to using vmalloc space. At most, 1/4 of the overall system
memory may be allocated by DM statistics. The admin can see how much
memory is used by reading
/sys/module/dm_mod/parameters/stats_current_allocated_bytes
See Documentation/device-mapper/statistics.txt for more details.

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.

The DM_DEV_CREATE ioctl enforces these rules when the device is created,

It may be useful to switch a request-based table to the "error" target.
Enhance the DM core to allow a hybrid target_type which is capable of
handling either bios (via .map) or requests (via .map_rq).
Add a request-based map function (.map_rq) to the "error" target_type;
making it DM's first hybrid target. Train dm_table_set_type() to prefer
the mapped device's established type (request-based or bio-based). If
the mapped device doesn't have an established type default to making the
table with the hybrid target(s) bio-based.

If there are not enough stripes to handle, we'd better not always
queue all available work_structs. If one worker can only handle small
or even none stripes, it will impact request merge and create lock
contention.
With this patch, the number of work_struct running will depend on
pending stripes number. Note: some statistics info used in the patch
are accessed without locking protection. This should doesn't matter,
we just try best to avoid queue unnecessary work_struct.

Some requests - particularly 'discard' and 'read' are handled
differently depending on whether a reshape is active or not.
It is harmless to assume reshape is active if it isn't but wrong
to act as though reshape is not active when it is.
So when we start reshape - after making clear to all requests that
reshape has started - use mddev_suspend/mddev_resume to flush out all
requests. This will ensure that no requests will be assuming the
absence of reshape once it really starts.

This is another attempt to create multiple threads to handle raid5 stripes.
This time I use workqueue.
raid5 handles request (especially write) in stripe unit. A stripe is page size
aligned/long and acrosses all disks. Writing to any disk sector, raid5 runs a
state machine for the corresponding stripe, which includes reading some disks
of the stripe, calculating parity, and writing some disks of the stripe. The
state machine is running in raid5d thread currently. Since there is only one
thread, it doesn't scale well for high speed storage. An obvious solution is
multi-threading.
To get better performance, we have some requirements:
a. locality. stripe corresponding to request submitted from one cpu is better
handled in thread in local cpu or local node. local cpu is preferred but some
times could be a bottleneck, for example, parity calculation is too heavy.
local node running has wide adaptability.
b. configurablity. Different setup of raid5 array might need diffent
configuration. Especially the thread number. More threads don't always mean
better performance because of lock contentions.
My original implementation is creating some kernel threads. There are
interfaces to control which cpu's stripe each thread should handle. And
userspace can set affinity of the threads. This provides biggest flexibility
and configurability. But it's hard to use and apparently a new thread pool
implementation is disfavor.
Recent workqueue improvement is quite promising. unbound workqueue will be
bound to numa node. If WQ_SYSFS is set in workqueue, there are sysfs option to
do affinity setting. For example, we can only include one HT sibling in
affinity. Since work is non-reentrant by default, and we can control running
thread number by limiting dispatched work_struct number.
In this patch, I created several stripe worker group. A group is a numa node.
stripes from cpus of one node will be added to a group list. Workqueue thread
of one node will only handle stripes of worker group of the node. In this way,
stripe handling has numa node locality. And as I said, we can control thread
number by limiting dispatched work_struct number.
The work_struct callback function handles several stripes in one run. A typical
work queue usage is to run one unit in each work_struct. In raid5 case, the
unit is a stripe. But we can't do that:
a. Though handling a stripe doesn't need lock because of reference accounting
and stripe isn't in any list, queuing a work_struct for each stripe will make
workqueue lock contended very heavily.
b. blk_start_plug()/blk_finish_plug() should surround stripe handle, as we
might dispatch request. If each work_struct only handles one stripe, such block
plug is meaningless.
This implementation can't do very fine grained configuration. But the numa
binding is most popular usage model, should be enough for most workloads.
Note: since we have only one stripe queue, switching to multi-thread might
decrease request size dispatching down to low level layer. The impact depends
on thread number, raid configuration and workload. So multi-thread raid5 might
not be proper for all setups.

1. remove WQ_NON_REENTRANT

release_stripe still has big lock contention. We just add the stripe to a llist
without taking device_lock. We let the raid5d thread to do the real stripe
release, which must hold device_lock anyway. In this way, release_stripe
doesn't hold any locks.
The side effect is the released stripes order is changed. But sounds not a big
deal, stripes are never handled in order. And I thought block layer can already
do nice request merge, which means order isn't that important.
I kept the unplug release batch, which is unnecessary with this patch from lock
contention avoid point of view, and actually if we delete it, the stripe_head
release_list and lru can share storage. But the unplug release batch is also
helpful for request merge. We probably can delay wakeup raid5d till unplug, but
I'm still afraid of the case which raid5d is running.

When the last process closes /dev/mdX sync_blockdev will be called so
that all buffers get flushed.
So if it is then opened for the STOP_ARRAY ioctl to be sent there will
be nothing to flush.
However if we open /dev/mdX in order to send the STOP_ARRAY ioctl just
moments before some other process which was writing closes their file
descriptor, then there won't be a 'last close' and the buffers might
not get flushed.
So do_md_stop() calls sync_blockdev(). However at this point it is
holding ->reconfig_mutex. So if the array is currently 'clean' then
the writes from sync_blockdev() will not complete until the array
can be marked dirty and that won't happen until some other thread
can get ->reconfig_mutex. So we deadlock.
We need to move the sync_blockdev() call to before we take
->reconfig_mutex.
However then some other thread could open /dev/mdX and write to it
after we call sync_blockdev() and before we actually stop the array.
This can leave dirty data in the page cache which is awkward.
So introduce new flag MD_STILL_CLOSED. Set it before calling
sync_blockdev(), clear it if anyone does open the file, and abort the
STOP_ARRAY attempt if it gets set before we lock against further
opens.
It is still possible to get problems if you open /dev/mdX, write to
it, then issue the STOP_ARRAY ioctl. Just don't do that.
