* dm table: add immutable featureAlasdair G Kergon2011-10-311-0/+21
| | | | | | | | | | Introduce DM_TARGET_IMMUTABLE to indicate that the target type cannot be mixed with any other target type, and once loaded into a device, it cannot be replaced with a table containing a different type. The thin provisioning pool device will use this. Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
* dm table: add always writeable featureAlasdair G Kergon2011-10-311-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | Add a target feature flag DM_TARGET_ALWAYS_WRITEABLE to indicate that a target does not support read-only mode. The initial implementation of the thin provisioning target uses this. Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
* dm table: add singleton featureAlasdair G Kergon2011-10-311-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | Introduce the concept of a singleton table which contains exactly one target. If a target type sets the DM_TARGET_SINGLETON feature bit device-mapper will ensure that any table that includes that target contains no others. The thin provisioning pool target uses this.

* dm table: propagate non rotational flagMandeep Singh Baines2011-10-311-0/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT to propagate up the device stack if all underlying devices are non-rotational. Tools like ureadahead will schedule IOs differently based on the rotational flag. With this patch, I see boot time go from 7.75 s to 7.46 s on my device. Suggested-by: J.

* dm crypt: always disable discard_zeroes_dataMilan Broz2011-09-251-0/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | If optional discard support in dm-crypt is enabled, discards requests bypass the crypt queue and blocks of the underlying device are discarded. For the read path, discarded blocks are handled the same as normal ciphertext blocks, thus decrypted. So if the underlying device announces discarded regions return zeroes, dm-crypt must disable this flag because after decryption there is just random noise instead of zeroes.

* dm table: avoid crash if integrity profile changesMike Snitzer2011-09-251-6/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit a63a5cf (dm: improve block integrity support) introduced a two-phase initialization of a DM device's integrity profile. This patch avoids dereferencing a NULL 'template_disk' pointer in blk_integrity_register() if there is an integrity profile mismatch in dm_table_set_integrity(). This can occur if the integrity profiles for stacked devices in a DM table are changed between the call to dm_table_prealloc_integrity() and dm_table_set_integrity().

* dm table: set flush capability based on underlying devicesMike Snitzer2011-08-021-0/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | DM has always advertised both REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA flush capabilities regardless of whether or not a given DM device's underlying devices also advertised a need for them. Block's flush-merge changes from 2.6.39 have proven to be more costly for DM devices. Performance regressions have been reported even when DM's underlying devices do not advertise that they have a write cache. Fix the performance regressions by configuring a DM device's flushing capabilities based on those of the underlying devices' capabilities.

* dm: ignore merge_bvec for snapshots when safeMikulas Patocka2011-08-021-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new flag DMF_MERGE_IS_OPTIONAL to struct mapped_device to indicate whether the device can accept bios larger than the size its merge function returns. When set, use this to send large bios to snapshots which can split them if necessary. Snapshot I/O may be significantly fragmented and this approach seems to improve peformance. Before the patch, dm_set_device_limits restricted bio size to page size if the underlying device had a merge function and the target didn't provide a merge function. After the patch, dm_set_device_limits restricts bio size to page size if the underlying device has a merge function, doesn't have DMF_MERGE_IS_OPTIONAL flag and the target doesn't provide a merge function. The snapshot target can't provide a merge function because when the merge function is called, it is impossible to determine where the bio will be remapped. Previously this led us to impose a 4k limit, which we can now remove if the snapshot store is located on a device without a merge function. Together with another patch for optimizing full chunk writes, it improves performance from 29MB/s to 40MB/s when writing to the filesystem on snapshot store. If the snapshot store is placed on a non-dm device with a merge function (such as md-raid), device mapper still limits all bios to page size.

* dm table: fix discard supportMike Snitzer2011-08-021-8/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove 'discards_supported' from the dm_table structure. The same information can be easily discovered from the table's target(s) in dm_table_supports_discards(). Before this fix dm_table_supports_discards() would skip checking the individual targets' 'discards_supported' flag if any one target in the table didn't set num_discard_requests > 0. Now the per-target 'discards_supported' flag is effective at insuring the final DM device advertises discard support. But, to be clear, targets that don't support discards (!num_discard_requests) will not receive discard requests. Also DMWARN if a target sets 'discards_supported' override but forgets to set 'num_discard_requests'.

* dm table: reject devices without request fnsMilan Broz2011-05-291-0/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a check that a block device has a request function defined before it is used. Otherwise, misconfiguration can cause an oops. Because we are allowing devices with zero size e.g. an offline multipath device as in commit 2cd54d9bedb79a97f014e86c0da393416b264eb3 ("dm: allow offline devices") there needs to be an additional check to ensure devices are initialised. Some block devices, like a loop device without a backing file, exist but have no request function. Reproducer is trivial: dm-mirror on unbound loop device (no backing file on loop devices) dmsetup create x --table "0 8 mirror core 2 8 sync 2 /dev/loop0 0 /dev/loop1 0" and mirror resync will immediatelly cause OOps.

* dm: improve block integrity supportMike Snitzer2011-04-051-34/+80
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current block integrity (DIF/DIX) support in DM is verifying that all devices' integrity profiles match during DM device resume (which is past the point of no return). To some degree that is unavoidable (stacked DM devices force this late checking). But for most DM devices (which aren't stacking on other DM devices) the ideal time to verify all integrity profiles match is during table load. Introduce the notion of an "initialized" integrity profile: a profile that was blk_integrity_register()'d with a non-NULL 'blk_integrity' template. Add blk_integrity_is_initialized() to allow checking if a profile was initialized. Update DM integrity support to: - check all devices with _initialized_ integrity profiles match during table load; uninitialized profiles (e.g. for underlying DM device(s) of a stacked DM device) are ignored. - disallow a table load that would result in an integrity profile that conflicts with a DM device's existing (in-use) integrity profile - avoid clearing an existing integrity profile - validate all integrity profiles match during resume; but if they don't all we can do is report the mismatch (during resume we're past the point of no return) Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Cc: Martin K.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | MD and DM create a new bio_set for every metadevice. Each bio_set has an integrity mempool attached regardless of whether the metadevice is capable of passing integrity metadata. This is a waste of memory. Instead we defer the allocation decision to MD and DM since we know at metadevice creation time whether integrity passthrough is needed or not. Automatic integrity mempool allocation can then be removed from bioset_create() and we make an explicit integrity allocation for the fs_bio_set. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit e09b457b (block: simplify holder symlink handling) incorrectly assumed that there is only one link at maximum. dm may use multiple links and expects block layer to track reference count for each link, which is different from and unrelated to the exclusive device holder identified by @holder when the device is opened. Remove the single holder assumption and automatic removal of the link and revive the per-link reference count tracking. The code essentially behaves the same as before commit e09b457b sans the unnecessary kobject reference count dancing. While at it, note that this facility should not be used by anyone else than the current ones. Sysfs symlinks shouldn't be abused like this and the whole thing doesn't belong in the block layer at all.

Replace them with blkdev_get_by_dev() and blkdev_get_by_path(). blkdev_get_by_dev() is identical to open_by_devnum(). blkdev_get_by_path() is slightly different in that it doesn't automatically add %FMODE_EXCL to @mode. All users are converted. Most conversions are mechanical and don't introduce any behavior difference. There are several exceptions. * btrfs now sets FMODE_EXCL in btrfs_device->mode, so there's no reason to OR it explicitly on blkdev_put(). * gfs2, nilfs2 and the generic mount_bdev() now set FMODE_EXCL in sb->s_mode. * With the above changes, sb->s_mode now always should contain FMODE_EXCL. WARN_ON_ONCE() added to kill_block_super() to detect errors. The new blkdev_get_*() functions are with proper docbook comments. While at it, add function description to blkdev_get() too.

The interface is a bit confusing and the decoupling of open and claim makes it impossible to properly guarantee exclusive access as in-kernel open + claim sequence can disturb the existing exclusive open even before the block layer knows the current open if for another exclusive access. Reorganize the interface such that, * blkdev_get() is extended to include exclusive access management. @holder argument is added and, if is @FMODE_EXCL specified, it will gain exclusive access atomically w.r.t. other exclusive accesses. * blkdev_put() is similarly extended. It now takes @mode argument and if @FMODE_EXCL is set, it releases an exclusive access. Also, when the last exclusive claim is released, the holder/slave symlinks are removed automatically. * bd_claim/release() and close_bdev_exclusive() are no longer necessary and either made static or removed. * bd_link_disk_holder() remains the same but bd_unlink_disk_holder() is no longer necessary and removed. * open_bdev_exclusive() becomes a simple wrapper around lookup_bdev() and blkdev_get(). It also has an unexpected extra bdev_read_only() test which probably should be moved into blkdev_get(). * open_by_devnum() is modified to take @holder argument and pass it to blkdev_get(). Most of bdev open/close operations are unified into blkdev_get/put() and most exclusive accesses are tested atomically at the open time (as it should). This cleans up code and removes some, both valid and invalid, but unnecessary all the same, corner cases. open_bdev_exclusive() and open_by_devnum() can use further cleanup - rename to blkdev_get_by_path() and blkdev_get_by_devt() and drop special features. Well, let's leave them for another day. Most conversions are straight-forward. drbd conversion is a bit more involved as there was some reordering, but the logic should stay the same.

* | block: Deprecate QUEUE_FLAG_CLUSTER and use queue_limits insteadMartin K. Petersen2010-12-171-5/+0
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When stacking devices, a request_queue is not always available. This forced us to have a no_cluster flag in the queue_limits that could be used as a carrier until the request_queue had been set up for a metadevice. There were several problems with that approach. First of all it was up to the stacking device to remember to set queue flag after stacking had completed. Also, the queue flag and the queue limits had to be kept in sync at all times. We got that wrong, which could lead to us issuing commands that went beyond the max scatterlist limit set by the driver. The proper fix is to avoid having two flags for tracking the same thing. We deprecate QUEUE_FLAG_CLUSTER and use the queue limit directly in the block layer merging functions. The queue_limit 'no_cluster' is turned into 'cluster' to avoid double negatives and to ease stacking. Clustering defaults to being enabled as before. The queue flag logic is removed from the stacking function, and explicitly setting the cluster flag is no longer necessary in DM and MD.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the dm_get() in dm_table_get_md() because dm_table_get_md() could be called from presuspend/postsuspend, which are called while mapped_device is in DMF_FREEING state, where dm_get() is not allowed. Justification for that is the lifetime of both objects: As far as the current dm design/implementation, mapped_device is never freed while targets are doing something, because dm core waits for targets to become quiet in dm_put() using presuspend/postsuspend. So targets should be able to touch mapped_device without holding reference count of the mapped_device, and we should allow targets to touch mapped_device even if it is in DMF_FREEING state. Backgrounds: I'm trying to remove the multipath internal queue, since dm core now has a generic queue for request-based dm. In the patch-set, the multipath target wants to request dm core to start/stop queue. One of such start/stop requests can happen during postsuspend() while the target waits for pg-init to complete, because the target stops queue when starting pg-init and tries to restart it when completing pg-init. Since queue belongs to mapped_device, it involves calling dm_table_get_md() and dm_put(). On the other hand, postsuspend() is called in dm_put() for mapped_device which is in DMF_FREEING state, and that triggers BUG_ON(DMF_FREEING) in the 2nd dm_put(). I had tried to solve this problem by changing only multipath not to touch mapped_device which is in DMF_FREEING state, but I couldn't and I came up with a question why we need dm_get() in dm_table_get_md().

| * dm: bind new table before destroying oldAlasdair G Kergon2009-12-101-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When replacing a mapped device's table during a 'resume', delay the destruction of the old table until the new one is successfully in place. This will make it easier for a later patch to transfer internal state information from the old table to the new one (something we do not currently support) while giving us more options for reversion if a later part of the operation fails. Devices are always in the suspended state during dm_swap_table(). This patch reinforces the requirement that all I/O must have been flushed from the table targets while in this state (including any in workqueues). In the case of 'noflush' suspending, unprocessed I/O should have been 'pushed back' to the dm core prior to this point, for resubmission after the new table is in place.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The logic to check for valid device areas is inverted relative to proper use with iterate_devices. The iterate_devices method calls its callback for every underlying device in the target. If any callback returns non-zero, iterate_devices exits immediately. But the callback device_area_is_valid() returns 0 on error and 1 on success. The overall effect without is that an error is issued only if every device is invalid. This patch renames device_area_is_valid to device_area_is_invalid and inverts the logic so that one invalid device is sufficient to raise an error.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch enables request-based dm. o Request-based dm and bio-based dm coexist, since there are some target drivers which are more fitting to bio-based dm. Also, there are other bio-based devices in the kernel (e.g. md, loop). Since bio-based device can't receive struct request, there are some limitations on device stacking between bio-based and request-based. type of underlying device bio-based request-based ---------------------------------------------- bio-based OK OK request-based -- OK The device type is recognized by the queue flag in the kernel, so dm follows that. o The type of a dm device is decided at the first table binding time. Once the type of a dm device is decided, the type can't be changed. o Mempool allocations are deferred to at the table loading time, since mempools for request-based dm are different from those for bio-based dm and needed mempool type is fixed by the type of table. o Currently, request-based dm supports only tables that have a single target. To support multiple targets, we need to support request splitting or prevent bio/request from spanning multiple targets. The former needs lots of changes in the block layer, and the latter needs that all target drivers support merge() function. Both will take a time.

When struct mapped device (md) is initialized, md->queue has an I/O scheduler and the following functions are used for request-based dm as the queue functions: make_request_fn: dm_make_request() pref_fn: dm_prep_fn() request_fn: dm_request_fn() softirq_done_fn: dm_softirq_done() lld_busy_fn: dm_lld_busy() Actual initializations are done in another patch (PATCH 2). Below is a brief summary of how request-based dm behaves, including: - making request from bio - cloning, mapping and dispatching request - completing request and bio - suspending md - resuming md bio to request ============== md->queue->make_request_fn() (dm_make_request()) calls __make_request() for a bio submitted to the md. Then, the bio is kept in the queue as a new request or merged into another request in the queue if possible. Cloning and Mapping =================== Cloning and mapping are done in md->queue->request_fn() (dm_request_fn()), when requests are dispatched after they are sorted by the I/O scheduler. dm_request_fn() checks busy state of underlying devices using target's busy() function and stops dispatching requests to keep them on the dm device's queue if busy. It helps better I/O merging, since no merge is done for a request once it is dispatched to underlying devices. Actual cloning and mapping are done in dm_prep_fn() and map_request() called from dm_request_fn(). dm_prep_fn() clones not only request but also bios of the request so that dm can hold bio completion in error cases and prevent the bio submitter from noticing the error. (See the "Completion" section below for details.) After the cloning, the clone is mapped by target's map_rq() function and inserted to underlying device's queue using blk_insert_cloned_request(). Completion ========== Request completion can be hooked by rq->end_io(), but then, all bios in the request will have been completed even error cases, and the bio submitter will have noticed the error. To prevent the bio completion in error cases, request-based dm clones both bio and request and hooks both bio->bi_end_io() and rq->end_io(): bio->bi_end_io(): end_clone_bio() rq->end_io(): end_clone_request() Summary of the request completion flow is below: blk_end_request() for a clone request => blk_update_request() => bio->bi_end_io() == end_clone_bio() for each clone bio => Free the clone bio => Success: Complete the original bio (blk_update_request()) Error: Don't complete the original bio => blk_finish_request() => rq->end_io() == end_clone_request() => blk_complete_request() => dm_softirq_done() => Free the clone request => Success: Complete the original request (blk_end_request()) Error: Requeue the original request end_clone_bio() completes the original request on the size of the original bio in successful cases. Even if all bios in the original request are completed by that completion, the original request must not be completed yet to keep the ordering of request completion for the stacking. So end_clone_bio() uses blk_update_request() instead of blk_end_request(). In error cases, end_clone_bio() doesn't complete the original bio. It just frees the cloned bio and gives over the error handling to end_clone_request(). end_clone_request(), which is called with queue lock held, completes the clone request and the original request in a softirq context (dm_softirq_done()), which has no queue lock, to avoid a deadlock issue on submission of another request during the completion: - The submitted request may be mapped to the same device - Request submission requires queue lock, but the queue lock has been held by itself and it doesn't know that The clone request has no clone bio when dm_softirq_done() is called. So target drivers can't resubmit it again even error cases. Instead, they can ask dm core for requeueing and remapping the original request in that cases. suspend ======= Request-based dm uses stopping md->queue as suspend of the md. For noflush suspend, just stops md->queue. For flush suspend, inserts a marker request to the tail of md->queue. And dispatches all requests in md->queue until the marker comes to the front of md->queue. Then, stops dispatching request and waits for the all dispatched requests to complete. After that, completes the marker request, stops md->queue and wake up the waiter on the suspend queue, md->wait. resume ====== Starts md->queue.

* dm: calculate queue limits during resume not loadMike Snitzer2009-06-221-83/+102
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, device-mapper maintains a separate instance of 'struct queue_limits' for each table of each device. When the configuration of a device is to be changed, first its table is loaded and this structure is populated, then the device is 'resumed' and the calculated queue_limits are applied. This places restrictions on how userspace may process related devices, where it is often advantageous to 'load' tables for several devices at once before 'resuming' them together. As the new queue_limits only take effect after the 'resume', if they are changing and one device uses another, the latter must be 'resumed' before the former may be 'loaded'. This patch moves the calculation of these queue_limits out of the 'load' operation into 'resume'. Since we are no longer pre-calculating this struct, we no longer need to maintain copies within our dm structs. dm_set_device_limits() now passes the 'start' of the device's data area (aka pe_start) as the 'offset' to blk_stack_limits(). init_valid_queue_limits() is replaced by blk_set_default_limits().
