dm_merge_bvec() was originally added in f6fccb ("dm: introduce
merge_bvec_fn"). In that commit a value in sectors is converted to
bytes using << 9, and then assigned to an int. This code made
assumptions about the value of BIO_MAX_SECTORS.
A later commit 148e51 ("dm: improve documentation and code clarity in
dm_merge_bvec") was meant to have no functional change but it removed
the use of BIO_MAX_SECTORS in favor of using queue_max_sectors(). At
this point the cast from sector_t to int resulted in a zero value. The
fallout being dm_merge_bvec() would only allow a single page to be added
to a bio.
This interim fix is minimal for the benefit of stable@ because the more
comprehensive cleanup of passing a sector_t to all DM targets' merge
function will impact quite a few DM targets.

dm-multipath accepts 0 path mapping.
# echo '0 2097152 multipath 0 0 0 0' | dmsetup create newdev
Such a mapping can be used to release underlying devices while still
holding requests in its queue until working paths come back.
However, once the multipath device is created over blk-mq devices,
it rejects reloading of 0 path mapping:
# echo '0 2097152 multipath 0 0 1 1 queue-length 0 1 1 /dev/sda 1' \
| dmsetup create mpath1
# echo '0 2097152 multipath 0 0 0 0' | dmsetup load mpath1
device-mapper: reload ioctl on mpath1 failed: Invalid argument
Command failed
With following kernel message:
device-mapper: ioctl: can't change device type after initial table load.
DM tries to inherit the current table type using dm_table_set_type()
but it doesn't work as expected because of unnecessary check about
whether the target type is hybrid or not.
Hybrid type is for targets that work as either request-based or bio-based
and not required for blk-mq or non blk-mq checking.

When stacking request-based dm device on non blk-mq device and
device-mapper target could not map the request (error target is used,
multipath target with all paths down, etc), the WARN_ON_ONCE() in
free_rq_clone() will trigger when it shouldn't.
The warning was added by commit aa6df8d ("dm: fix free_rq_clone() NULL
pointer when requeueing unmapped request"). But free_rq_clone() with
clone->q == NULL is valid usage for the case where
dm_kill_unmapped_request() initiates request cleanup.
Fix this false warning by just removing the WARN_ON -- it only generated
false positives and was never useful in catching the intended case
(completing clone request not being mapped e.g. clone->q being NULL).

A recent change removed the need for locking around writing
to "sync_action" (and various other places), but introduced a
subtle race.
When e.g. setting 'reshape' on a 'frozen' array, the 'frozen'
flag is cleared before 'reshape' is set, so the md thread can
get in and start trying recovery - which isn't wanted.
So instead of clearing MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN for any command
except 'frozen', only clear it when each specific command
is parsed. This allows the handling of 'reshape' to clear
the bit while a lock is held.
Also remove some places where we set MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED,
as it is always set on non-error exit of the function.

Fixes: 6791875e2e ("md: make reconfig_mutex optional for writes to md sysfs files.")
Now that the code in break_stripe_batch_list() is nearly identical
to the end of handle_stripe_clean_event, replace the later
with a function call.
The only remaining difference of any interest is the masking that is
applieds to dev[i].flags copied from head_sh.
R5_WriteError certainly isn't wanted as it is set per-stripe, not
per-patch. R5_Overlap isn't wanted as it is explicitly handled.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
When a batch of stripes is broken up, we keep some of the flags
that were per-stripe, and copy other flags from the head to all
others.
This only happens while a stripe is being handled, so many of the
flags are irrelevant.
The "SYNC_FLAGS" (which I've renamed to make it clear there are
several) and STRIPE_DEGRADED are set per-stripe and so need to be
preserved. STRIPE_INSYNC is the only flag that is set on the head
that needs to be propagated to all others.
For safety, add a WARN_ON if others are set, except:
STRIPE_HANDLE - this is safe and per-stripe and we are going to set
in several cases anyway
STRIPE_INSYNC
STRIPE_IO_STARTED - this is just a hint and doesn't hurt.
STRIPE_ON_PLUG_LIST
STRIPE_ON_RELEASE_LIST - It is a point pointless for a batched
stripe to be on one of these lists, but it can happen
as can be safely ignored.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
When we break a stripe_batch_list we sometimes want to set
STRIPE_HANDLE on the individual stripes, and sometimes not.
So pass a 'handle_flags' arg. If it is zero, always set STRIPE_HANDLE
(on non-head stripes). If not zero, only set it if any of the given
flags are present.

break_stripe_batch list didn't clear head_sh->batch_head.
This was probably a bug.
Also clear all R5_Overlap flags and if any were cleared, wake up
'wait_for_overlap'.
This isn't always necessary but the worst effect is a little
extra checking for code that is waiting on wait_for_overlap.
Also, don't use wake_up_nr() because that does the wrong thing
if 'nr' is zero, and it number of flags cleared doesn't
strongly correlate with the number of threads to wake.

handle_stripe_clean_event() contains a chunk of code very
similar to check_break_stripe_batch_list().
If we make the latter more like the former, we can end up
with just one copy of this code.
This first step removed the condition (and the 'check_') part
of the name. This has the added advantage of making it clear
what check is being performed at the point where the function is
called.

If a stripe is a member of a batch, but not the head, it must
not be handled separately from the rest of the batch.
'clear_batch_ready()' handles this requirement to some
extent but not completely. If a member is passed to handle_stripe()
a second time it returns '0' indicating the stripe can be handled,
which is wrong.
So add an extra test.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
When we add a write to a stripe we need to make sure the bitmap
bit is set. While doing that the stripe is not locked so it could
be added to a batch after which further changes to STRIPE_BIT_DELAY
and ->bm_seq are ineffective.
So we need to hold off adding to a stripe until bitmap_startwrite has
completed at least once, and we need to avoid further changes to
STRIPE_BIT_DELAY once the stripe has been added to a batch.
If a bitmap_startwrite() completes after the stripe was added to a
batch, it will not have set the bit, only incremented a counter, so no
extra delay of the stripe is needed.

Use BLK_MQ_RQ_QUEUE_BUSY to requeue a blk-mq request directly from the
DM blk-mq device's .queue_rq. This cleans up the previous convoluted
handling of request requeueing that would return BLK_MQ_RQ_QUEUE_OK
(even though it wasn't) and then run blk_mq_requeue_request() followed
by blk_mq_kick_requeue_list().
Also, document that DM blk-mq ontop of old request_fn devices cannot
fail in clone_rq() since the clone request is preallocated as part of
the pdu.

When stacking request-based DM on blk_mq device, request cloning and
remapping are done in a single call to target's clone_and_map_rq().
The clone is allocated and valid only if clone_and_map_rq() returns
DM_MAPIO_REMAPPED.
The "IS_ERR(clone)" check in map_request() does not cover all the
!DM_MAPIO_REMAPPED cases that are possible (E.g. if underlying devices
are not ready or unavailable, clone_and_map_rq() may return
DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE without ever having established an ERR_PTR). Fix this
by explicitly checking for a return that is not DM_MAPIO_REMAPPED in
map_request().
Without this fix, DM core may call setup_clone() for a NULL clone
and oops like this:

The variable "sector" in "raid0_make_request()" was improperly updated
by a call to "sector_div()" which modifies its first argument in place.
Commit 47d68979cc restored this variable
after the call for later re-use. Unfortunetly the restore was done after
the referenced variable "bio" was advanced. This lead to the original
value and the restored value being different. Here we move this line to

There is no need for special handling of stripe-batches when the array
is degraded.
There may be if there is a failure in the batch, but STRIPE_DEGRADED
does not imply an error.
So don't set STRIPE_BATCH_ERR in ops_run_io just because the array is
degraded.
This actually causes a bug: the STRIPE_DEGRADED flag gets cleared in
check_break_stripe_batch_list() and so the bitmap bit gets cleared
when it shouldn't.
So in check_break_stripe_batch_list(), split the batch up completely -
again STRIPE_DEGRADED isn't meaningful.

As the new 'scribble' array is sized based on chunk size,
we need to make sure the size matches the largest of 'old'
and 'new' chunk sizes when the array is undergoing reshape.
We also potentially need to resize it even when not resizing
the stripe cache, as chunk size can change without changing
number of devices.
So move the 'resize' code into a separate function, and
consider old and new sizes when allocating.

If any memory allocation in resize_stripes fails we will return
-ENOMEM, but in some cases we update conf->pool_size anyway.
This means that if we try again, the allocations will be assumed
to be larger than they are, and badness results.
So only update pool_size if there is no error.

Most of the conditional mddev->queue accesses made it to upstream but
this missing one, which prohibits md raid0 to set disk stack limits

This reverts Linux 4.1-rc1 commit 0618764cb2.
The problem which that commit attempts to fix actually lies in the
Freescale CAAM crypto driver not dm-crypt.
dm-crypt uses CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG. This means the the crypto
driver should internally backlog requests which arrive when the queue is
full and process them later. Until the crypto hw's queue becomes full,
the driver returns -EINPROGRESS. When the crypto hw's queue if full,
the driver returns -EBUSY, and if CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG is set, is
expected to backlog the request and process it when the hardware has
queue space. At the point when the driver takes the request from the
backlog and starts processing it, it calls the completion function with
a status of -EINPROGRESS. The completion function is called (for a
second time, in the case of backlogged requests) with a status/err of 0
when a request is done.
Crypto drivers for hardware without hardware queueing use the helpers,
crypto_init_queue(), crypto_enqueue_request(), crypto_dequeue_request()
and crypto_get_backlog() helpers to implement this behaviour correctly,
while others implement this behaviour without these helpers (ccp, for
example).
dm-crypt (before the patch that needs reverting) uses this API
correctly. It queues up as many requests as the hw queues will allow
(i.e. as long as it gets back -EINPROGRESS from the request function).
Then, when it sees at least one backlogged request (gets -EBUSY), it
waits till that backlogged request is handled (completion gets called
with -EINPROGRESS), and then continues. The references to
af_alg_wait_for_completion() and af_alg_complete() in that commit's
commit message are irrelevant because those functions only handle one
request at a time, unlink dm-crypt.
The problem is that the Freescale CAAM driver, which that commit
describes as having being tested with, fails to implement the
backlogging behaviour correctly. In cam_jr_enqueue(), if the hardware
queue is full, it simply returns -EBUSY without backlogging the request.
What the observed deadlock was is not described in the commit message
but it is obviously the wait_for_completion() in crypto_convert() where
dm-crypto would wait for the completion being called with -EINPROGRESS
in the case of backlogged requests. This completion will never be
completed due to the bug in the CAAM driver.
Commit 0618764cb2 incorrectly made dm-crypt wait for every request,
even when the driver/hardware queues are not full, which means that
dm-crypt will never see -EBUSY. This means that that commit will cause
a performance regression on all crypto drivers which implement the API
correctly.
Revert it. Correct backlog handling should be implemented in the CAAM
driver instead.
Cc'ing stable purely because commit 0618764cb2 did. If for some reason
a stable@ kernel did pick up commit 0618764cb2 it should get reverted.

Commit 022333427a ("dm: optimize dm_mq_queue_rq to _not_ use kthread if
using pure blk-mq") mistakenly removed free_rq_clone()'s clone->q check
before testing clone->q->mq_ops. It was an oversight to discontinue
that check for 1 of the 2 use-cases for free_rq_clone():
1) free_rq_clone() called when an unmapped original request is requeued
2) free_rq_clone() called in the request-based IO completion path
The clone->q check made sense for case #1 but not for #2. However, we
cannot just reinstate the check as it'd mask a serious bug in the IO
completion case #2 -- no in-flight request should have an uninitialized
request_queue (basic block layer refcounting _should_ ensure this).
The NULL pointer seen for case #1 is detailed here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-April/msg00160.html
Fix this free_rq_clone() NULL pointer by simply checking if the
mapped_device's type is DM_TYPE_MQ_REQUEST_BASED (clone's queue is
blk-mq) rather than checking clone->q->mq_ops. This avoids the need to
dereference clone->q, but a WARN_ON_ONCE is added to let us know if an
uninitialized clone request is being completed.

Commit bfebd1cdb4 ("dm: add full blk-mq support to request-based DM")
didn't properly account for the need to short-circuit re-initializing
DM's blk-mq request_queue if it was already initialized.
Otherwise, reloading a blk-mq request-based DM table (either manually
or via multipathd) resulted in errors, see:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-April/msg00132.html
Fix is to only initialize the request_queue on the initial table load
(when the mapped_device type is assigned).
This is better than having dm_init_request_based_blk_mq_queue() return
early if the queue was already initialized because it elevates the
constraint to a more meaningful location in DM core. As such the
pre-existing early return in dm_init_request_based_queue() can now be
removed.

Because of the peculiar way that md devices are created (automatically
when the device node is opened), a new device can be created and
registered immediately after the
blk_unregister_region(disk_devt(disk), disk->minors);
call in del_gendisk().
Therefore it is important that all visible artifacts of the previous
device are removed before this call. In particular, the 'bdi'.
Since:
commit c4db59d31e
Author: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
fs: don't reassign dirty inodes to default_backing_dev_info
moved the
device_unregister(bdi->dev);
call from bdi_unregister() to bdi_destroy() it has been quite easy to
lose a race and have a new (e.g.) "md127" be created after the
blk_unregister_region() call and before bdi_destroy() is ultimately
called by the final 'put_disk', which must come after del_gendisk().
The new device finds that the bdi name is already registered in sysfs
and complains
> [ 9627.630029] WARNING: CPU: 18 PID: 3330 at fs/sysfs/dir.c:31 sysfs_warn_dup+0x5a/0x70()
> [ 9627.630032] sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/virtual/bdi/9:127'
We can fix this by moving the bdi_destroy() call out of
blk_release_queue() (which can happen very late when a refcount
reaches zero) and into blk_cleanup_queue() - which happens exactly when the md
device driver calls it.
Then it is only necessary for md to call blk_cleanup_queue() before
del_gendisk(). As loop.c devices are also created on demand by
opening the device node, we make the same change there.

When array is degraded, read data landed on failed drives will result in
reading rest of data in a stripe. So a single sequential read would
result in same data being read twice.
This patch is to avoid chunk aligned read for degraded array. The
downside is to involve stripe cache which means associated CPU overhead
and extra memory copy.
Test Results:
Following test are done on a enterprise storage node with Seagate 6T SAS
drives and Xeon E5-2648L CPU (10 cores, 1.9Ghz), 10 disks MD RAID6 8+2,
chunk size 128 KiB.
I use FIO, using direct-io with various bs size, enough queue depth,
tested sequential and 100% random read against 3 array config:
1) optimal, as baseline;
2) degraded;
3) degraded with this patch.
Kernel version is 4.0-rc3.
Each individual test I only did once so there might be some variations,
but we just focus on big trend.
Sequential Read:
bs=(KiB) optimal(MiB/s) degraded(MiB/s) degraded-with-patch (MiB/s)

Some notes:
* In sequential + optimal, as bs size getting smaller, the FIO thread
become CPU bound.
* In sequential + degraded, there's big increase when bs is 64K and
32K, I don't have explanation.
* In sequential + degraded-with-patch, the MD thread mostly become CPU
bound.
If you want to we can discuss specific data point in those data. But in
general it seems with this patch, we have more predictable and in most
cases significant better sequential read performance when array is
degraded, and almost no noticeable impact on random read.
Performance is a complicated thing, the patch works well for this
particular configuration, but may not be universal. For example I
imagine testing on all SSD array may have very different result. But I
personally think in most cases IO bandwidth is more scarce resource than
CPU.

The default setting of 256 stripe_heads is probably
much too small for many configurations. So it is best to make it
auto-configure.
Shrinking the cache under memory pressure is easy. The only
interesting part here is that we put a fairly high cost
('seeks') on shrinking the cache as the cost is greater than
just having to read more data, it reduces parallelism.
Growing the cache on demand needs to be done carefully. If we allow
fast growth, that can upset memory balance as lots of dirty memory can
quickly turn into lots of memory queued in the stripe_cache.
It is important for the raid5 block device to appear congested to
allow write-throttling to work.
So we only add stripes slowly. We set a flag when an allocation
fails because all stripes are in use, allocate at a convenient
time when that flag is set, and don't allow it to be set again
until at least one stripe_head has been released for re-use.
This means that a spurt of requests will only cause one stripe_head
to be allocated, but a steady stream of requests will slowly
increase the cache size - until memory pressure puts it back again.
It could take hours to reach a steady state.
The value written to, and displayed in, stripe_cache_size is
used as a minimum. The cache can grow above this and shrink back
down to it. The actual size is not directly visible, though it can
be deduced to some extent by watching stripe_cache_active.

succeeds, do it inside the functions.
Also choose the correct hash to handle next inside the functions.

Depending on the available coding we allow optimized rmw logic for write
operations. To support easier testing this patch allows manual control
of the rmw/rcw descision through the interface /sys/block/mdX/md/rmw_level.
The configuration can handle three levels of control.
rmw_level=0: Disable rmw for all RAID types. Hardware assisted P/Q
calculation has no implementation path yet to factor in/out chunks of
a syndrome. Enforcing this level can be benefical for slow CPUs with
hardware syndrome support and fast SSDs.
rmw_level=1: Estimate rmw IOs and rcw IOs. Execute rmw only if we will
save IOs. This equals the "old" unpatched behaviour and will be the
default.
rmw_level=2: Execute rmw even if calculated IOs for rmw and rcw are
equal. We might have higher CPU consumption because of calculating the
parity twice but it can be benefical otherwise. E.g. RAID4 with fast
dedicated parity disk/SSD. The option is implemented just to be
forward-looking and will ONLY work with this patch!

Glue it altogehter. The raid6 rmw path should work the same as the
already existing raid5 logic. So emulate the prexor handling/flags
and split functions as needed.
1) Enable xor_syndrome() in the async layer.
2) Split ops_run_prexor() into RAID4/5 and RAID6 logic. Xor the syndrome
at the start of a rmw run as we did it before for the single parity.
3) Take care of rmw run in ops_run_reconstruct6(). Again process only
the changed pages to get syndrome back into sync.
4) Enhance set_syndrome_sources() to fill NULL pages if we are in a rmw
run. The lower layers will calculate start & end pages from that and
call the xor_syndrome() correspondingly.
5) Adapt the several places where we ignored Q handling up to now.

stripe cache is 4k size. Even adjacent full stripe writes are handled in 4k
unit. Idealy we should use big size for adjacent full stripe writes. Bigger
stripe cache size means less stripes runing in the state machine so can reduce
cpu overhead. And also bigger size can cause bigger IO size dispatched to under
layer disks.
With below patch, we will automatically batch adjacent full stripe write
together. Such stripes will be added to the batch list. Only the first stripe
of the list will be put to handle_list and so run handle_stripe(). Some steps
of handle_stripe() are extended to cover all stripes of the list, including
ops_run_io, ops_run_biodrain and so on. With this patch, we have less stripes
running in handle_stripe() and we send IO of whole stripe list together to
increase IO size.
Stripes added to a batch list have some limitations. A batch list can only
include full stripe write and can't cross chunk boundary to make sure stripes
have the same parity disks. Stripes in a batch list must be in the same state
(no written, toread and so on). If a stripe is in a batch list, all new
read/write to add_stripe_bio will be blocked to overlap conflict till the batch
list is handled. The limitations will make sure stripes in a batch list be in
exactly the same state in the life circly.
I did test running 160k randwrite in a RAID5 array with 32k chunk size and 6
PCIe SSD. This patch improves around 30% performance and IO size to under layer
disk is exactly 32k. I also run a 4k randwrite test in the same array to make
sure the performance isn't changed with the patch.
