| * md/raid1: submit IO from originating thread instead of md thread.NeilBrown2012-08-022-4/+55
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | queuing writes to the md thread means that all requests go through the one processor which may not be able to keep up with very high request rates. So use the plugging infrastructure to submit all requests on unplug. If a 'schedule' is needed, we fall back on the old approach of handing the requests to the thread for it to handle.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | make_request() does stripe release for every stripe and the stripe usually has count 1, which makes previous release_stripe() optimization not work. In my test, this release_stripe() becomes the heaviest pleace to take conf->device_lock after previous patches applied. Below patch makes stripe release batch. All the stripes will be released in unplug. The STRIPE_ON_UNPLUG_LIST bit is to protect concurrent access stripe lru.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This seemed like a good idea at the time, but after further thought I cannot see it making a difference other than very occasionally and testing to try to exercise the case it is most likely to help did not show any performance difference by removing it. So remove the counting of active plugs and allow 'pending writes' to be activated at any time, not just when no plugs are active. This is only relevant when there is a write-intent bitmap, and the updating of the bitmap will likely introduce enough delay that the single-threading of bitmap updates will be enough to collect large numbers of updates together. Removing this will make it easier to centralise the unplug code, and will clear the other for other unplug enhancements which have a measurable effect.

So there will be one read_target (The other device) and zero write targets. This condition causes md/raid1 to abort the resync assuming that it has finished - without known bad blocks this would be true. When there are no write targets because of the presence of bad blocks we should only skip over the area covered by the bad block. RAID10 already gets this right, raid1 doesn't. Or didn't. As this can cause a 'sync' to abort early and appear to have succeeded it could lead to some data corruption, so it suitable for -stable.

So callers do not need to check mddev->openers and doing so isn't very meaningful as they don't hold ->open_mutex so the number could change. So remove the unnecessary tests on mddev->openers. These are not called often enough for there to be any gain in an early test on ->open_mutex to avoid the need for a slightly more costly mutex_lock call. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

In such condition, if making request size bigger will cause some disks idle, the total throughput will actually drop. A good example is doing a readahead in a two-disk raid1 setup. So when should we split big requests? We absolutly don't want to split big request to very small requests. Even in SSD, big request transfer is more efficient. This patch only considers request with size above optimal io size. If all disks are busy, is it worth doing a split? Say optimal io size is 16k, two requests 32k and two disks. We can let each disk run one 32k request, or split the requests to 4 16k requests and each disk runs two. It's hard to say which case is better, depending on hardware. So only consider case where there are idle disks. For readahead, split is always better in this case. And in my test, below patch can improve > 30% thoughput. Hmm, not 100%, because disk isn't 100% busy. Such case can happen not just in readahead, for example, in directio. But I suppose directio usually will have bigger IO depth and make all disks busy, so I ignored it. Note: if the raid uses any hard disk, we don't prevent merging. That will make performace worse.

| * | | md/raid1: read balance chooses idlest disk for SSDShaohua Li2012-07-311-3/+31

And the original distance based algorithm sometimes can cause severe performance issue for SSD raid. Considering two thread groups, one accesses file A, the other access file B. The first group will access one disk and the second will access the other disk, because requests are near from one group and far between groups. In this case, read balance might keep one disk very busy but the other relative idle. For SSD, we should try best to distribute requests to as many disks as possible. There isn't spindle move penality anyway. With below patch, I can see more than 50% throughput improvement sometimes depending on workloads. The only exception is small requests can be merged to a big request which typically can drive higher throughput for SSD too. Such small requests are sequential reads. Unlike hard disk, sequential read which can't be merged (for example direct IO, or read without readahead) can be ignored for SSD. Again there is no spindle move penality. readahead dispatches small requests and such requests can be merged. Last patch can help detect sequential read well, at least if concurrent read number isn't greater than raid disk number. In that case, distance based algorithm doesn't work well too. V2: For hard disk and SSD mixed raid, doesn't use distance based algorithm for random IO too. This makes the algorithm generic for raid with SSD.

The purpose is to reduce lock contention of conf->device_lock. stripe ->toread, ->towrite are protected by per-stripe lock. Accessing bio list of the stripe is always serialized by this lock, so adding bio to the lists (add_stripe_bio()) and removing bio from the lists (like ops_run_biofill()) not race. If bio in ->read, ->written ... list are not shared by multiple stripes, we don't need any lock to protect ->read, ->written, because STRIPE_ACTIVE will protect them. If the bio are shared, there are two protections: 1. bi_phys_segments acts as a reference count 2. traverse the list uses r5_next_bio, which makes traverse never access bio not belonging to the stripe Let's have an example: | stripe1 | stripe2 | stripe3 | ...bio1......|bio2|bio3|....bio4..... stripe2 has 4 bios, when it's finished, it will decrement bi_phys_segments for all bios, but only end_bio for bio2 and bio3. bio1->bi_next still points to bio2, but this doesn't matter. When stripe1 is finished, it will not touch bio2 because of r5_next_bio check. Next time stripe1 will end_bio for bio1 and stripe3 will end_bio bio4. before add_stripe_bio() addes a bio to a stripe, we already increament the bio bi_phys_segments, so don't worry other stripes release the bio.

* | | | 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.
