* | dm thin: commit before gathering statusAlasdair G Kergon2012-07-2713-16/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit outstanding metadata before returning the status for a dm thin pool so that the numbers reported are as up-to-date as possible. The commit is not performed if the device is suspended or if the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG is supplied by userspace and passed to the target through a new 'status_flags' parameter in the target's dm_status_fn. The userspace dmsetup tool will support the --noflush flag with the 'dmsetup status' and 'dmsetup wait' commands from version 1.02.76 onwards.

* | dm thin: add read only and fail io modesJoe Thornber2012-07-271-95/+321
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add read-only and fail-io modes to thin provisioning. If a transaction commit fails the pool's metadata device will transition to "read-only" mode. If a commit fails once already in read-only mode the transition to "fail-io" mode occurs. Once in fail-io mode the pool and all associated thin devices will report a status of "Fail".

* | dm thin metadata: introduce dm_pool_abort_metadataJoe Thornber2012-07-272-61/+158
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce dm_pool_abort_metadata to abort the current metadata transaction. Generally this will only be called when bad things are happening and dm-thin is trying to roll back to a good state for read-only mode. It's complicated by the fact that the metadata device may have failed completely causing the abort to be unable to read the old transaction. In this case the metadata object is placed in a 'fail' mode and everything fails apart from destroying it.

* | dm mpath: add retain_attached_hw_handler featureMike Snitzer2012-07-271-6/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A SCSI device handler might get attached to a device during the initial device scan. We do not necessarily want to override this when loading a multipath table, so this patch adds a new multipath feature argument "retain_attached_hw_handler". During SCSI device scan all loaded SCSI device handlers will be consulted for a match (via scsi_dh's provided .match). If a match is found that device handler will be attached. We need a way to have userspace multipathd's provided 'hw_handler' not override the already attached hardware handler. When specifying the new feature 'retain_attached_hw_handler' multipath will use the currently attached hardware handler instead of trying to attach the one specified during table load. If no hardware handler is attached the specified hardware handler will still be used. Leverages scsi_dh_attach's ability to increment the scsi_dh's reference count if the same scsi_dh name is provided when attaching - currently attached scsi_dh name is determined with scsi_dh_attached_handler_name. Depends upon commit 7e8a74b177f17d100916b6ad415450f7c9508691 ("[SCSI] scsi_dh: add scsi_dh_attached_handler_name").

* | dm thin: optimize power of two block sizeMikulas Patocka2012-07-271-7/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | dm-thin will be most likely used with a block size that is a power of two. So it should be optimized for this case. This patch changes division and modulo operations to shifts and bit masks if block size is a power of two. A test that bi_sector is divisible by a block size is removed from io_overlaps_block. Device mapper never sends bios that span a block boundary. Consequently, if we tested that bi_size is equivalent to block size, bi_sector must already be on a block boundary.

* | dm thin: split discards on block boundaryMikulas Patocka2012-07-271-9/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch sets the variable "ti->split_discard_requests" for the dm thin target so that device mapper core splits discard requests on a block boundary. Consequently, a discard request that spans multiple blocks is never sent to dm-thin. The patch also removes some code in process_discard that deals with discards that span multiple blocks.

* | dm: introduce split_discard_requestsMikulas Patocka2012-07-271-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces a new variable split_discard_requests. It can be set by targets so that discard requests are split on max_io_len boundaries. When split_discard_requests is not set, discard requests are only split on boundaries between targets, as was the case before this patch.

* | dm thin: support for non power of 2 pool blocksizeMike Snitzer2012-07-271-22/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Non power of 2 blocksize support is needed to properly align thinp IO on storage that has non power of 2 optimal IO sizes (e.g. RAID6 10+2). Use sector_div to support non power of 2 blocksize for the pool's data device. This provides comparable performance to the power of 2 math that was performed until now (as tested on modern x86_64 hardware). The kernel currently assumes that limits->discard_granularity is a power of two so the thin target only enables discard support if the block size is a power of two. Eliminate pool structure's 'block_shift', 'offset_mask' and remaining 4 byte holes.
