dm: add thin provisioning target Initial EXPERIMENTAL implementation of device-mapper thin provisioning with snapshot support. The 'thin' target is used to create instances of the virtual devices that are hosted in the 'thin-pool' target. The thin-pool target provides data sharing among devices. This sharing is made possible using the persistent-data library in the previous patch. The main highlight of this implementation, compared to the previous implementation of snapshots, is that it allows many virtual devices to be stored on the same data volume, simplifying administration and allowing sharing of data between volumes (thus reducing disk usage). Another big feature is support for arbitrary depth of recursive snapshots (snapshots of snapshots of snapshots ...). The previous implementation of snapshots did this by chaining together lookup tables, and so performance was O(depth). This new implementation uses a single data structure so we don't get this degradation with depth.

dm thin: add read only and fail io modes 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: use per thin device deferred bio lists The thin-pool previously only had a single deferred_bios list that would collect bios for all thin devices in the pool. Split this per-pool deferred_bios list out to per-thin deferred_bios_list -- doing so enables increased parallelism when processing deferred bios. And now that each thin device has it's own deferred_bios_list we can sort all bios in the list using logical sector. The requeue code in error handling path is also cleaner as a side-effect.

dm thin: sort the per thin deferred bios using an rb_tree A thin-pool will allocate blocks using FIFO order for all thin devices which share the thin-pool. Because of this simplistic allocation the thin-pool's space can become fragmented quite easily; especially when multiple threads are requesting blocks in parallel. Sort each thin device's deferred_bio_list based on logical sector to help reduce fragmentation of the thin-pool's ondisk layout. The following tables illustrate the realized gains/potential offered by sorting each thin device's deferred_bio_list. An "io size"-sized random read of the device would result in "seeks/io" fragments being read, with an average "distance/seek" between each fragment. Data was written to a single thin device using multiple threads via iozone (8 threads, 64K for both the block_size and io_size). unsorted: io size seeks/io distance/seek -------------------------------------- 4k 0.000 0b 16k 0.013 11m 64k 0.065 11m 256k 0.274 10m 1m 1.109 10m 4m 4.411 10m 16m 17.097 11m 64m 60.055 13m 256m 148.798 25m 1g 809.929 21m sorted: io size seeks/io distance/seek -------------------------------------- 4k 0.000 0b 16k 0.000 1g 64k 0.001 1g 256k 0.003 1g 1m 0.011 1g 4m 0.045 1g 16m 0.181 1g 64m 0.747 1011m 256m 3.299 1g 1g 14.373 1g Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Acked-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com>

There are a couple of issues with this: - If the block size is small, a large discard request can get broken up into a great many bios which is both slow and causes a lot of memory pressure. - The thin pool block size and the discard granularity for the underlying data device need to be compatible if we want to passdown the discard. This patch relaxes the block size granularity for thin devices. It makes use of the recent range locking added to the bio_prison to quiesce a whole range of thin blocks before unmapping them. Once a thin range has been unmapped the discard can then be passed down to the data device for those sub ranges where the data blocks are no longer used (ie. they weren't shared in the first place).

dm thin: range discard support Previously REQ_DISCARD bios have been split into block sized chunks before submission to the thin target. There are a couple of issues with this: - If the block size is small, a large discard request can get broken up into a great many bios which is both slow and causes a lot of memory pressure. - The thin pool block size and the discard granularity for the underlying data device need to be compatible if we want to passdown the discard. This patch relaxes the block size granularity for thin devices. It makes use of the recent range locking added to the bio_prison to quiesce a whole range of thin blocks before unmapping them. Once a thin range has been unmapped the discard can then be passed down to the data device for those sub ranges where the data blocks are no longer used (ie. they weren't shared in the first place). This patch also doesn't make any apologies about open-coding portions of block core as a means to supporting async discard completions in the near-term -- if/when late bio splitting lands it'll all get cleaned up.

dm thin: fix out of data space handling Ideally a thin pool would never run out of data space; the low water mark would trigger userland to extend the pool before we completely run out of space. However, many small random IOs to unprovisioned space can consume data space at an alarming rate. Adjust your low water mark if you're frequently seeing "out-of-data-space" mode. Before this fix, if data space ran out the pool would be put in PM_READ_ONLY mode which also aborted the pool's current metadata transaction (data loss for any changes in the transaction). This had a side-effect of needlessly compromising data consistency. And retry of queued unserviceable bios, once the data pool was resized, could initiate changes to potentially inconsistent pool metadata. Now when the pool's data space is exhausted transition to a new pool mode (PM_OUT_OF_DATA_SPACE) that allows metadata to be changed but data may not be allocated. This allows users to remove thin volumes or discard data to recover data space. The pool is no longer put in PM_READ_ONLY mode in response to the pool running out of data space.

dm thin: support discards Support discards in the thin target. On discard the corresponding mapping(s) are removed from the thin device. If the associated block(s) are no longer shared the discard is passed to the underlying device. All bios other than discards now have an associated deferred_entry that is saved to the 'all_io_entry' in endio_hook. When non-discard IO completes and associated mappings are quiesced any discards that were deferred, via ds_add_work() in process_discard(), will be queued for processing by the worker thread.

dm thin: use per thin device deferred bio lists The thin-pool previously only had a single deferred_bios list that would collect bios for all thin devices in the pool. Split this per-pool deferred_bios list out to per-thin deferred_bios_list -- doing so enables increased parallelism when processing deferred bios. And now that each thin device has it's own deferred_bios_list we can sort all bios in the list using logical sector. The requeue code in error handling path is also cleaner as a side-effect.

Avoid this by checking the discard limits of the pool's data device. If an incompatibility is found then the pool's 'discard passdown' feature is disabled. Change thin_io_hints to ensure that a thin device always uses the same queue limits as its pool device. Introduce requested_pf to track whether or not the table line originally contained the no_discard_passdown flag and use this directly for table output. We prepare the correct setting for discard_passdown directly in bind_control_target (called from pool_io_hints) and store it in adjusted_pf rather than waiting until we have access to pool->pf in pool_preresume.

dm thin: sort the per thin deferred bios using an rb_tree A thin-pool will allocate blocks using FIFO order for all thin devices which share the thin-pool. Because of this simplistic allocation the thin-pool's space can become fragmented quite easily; especially when multiple threads are requesting blocks in parallel. Sort each thin device's deferred_bio_list based on logical sector to help reduce fragmentation of the thin-pool's ondisk layout. The following tables illustrate the realized gains/potential offered by sorting each thin device's deferred_bio_list. An "io size"-sized random read of the device would result in "seeks/io" fragments being read, with an average "distance/seek" between each fragment. Data was written to a single thin device using multiple threads via iozone (8 threads, 64K for both the block_size and io_size). unsorted: io size seeks/io distance/seek -------------------------------------- 4k 0.000 0b 16k 0.013 11m 64k 0.065 11m 256k 0.274 10m 1m 1.109 10m 4m 4.411 10m 16m 17.097 11m 64m 60.055 13m 256m 148.798 25m 1g 809.929 21m sorted: io size seeks/io distance/seek -------------------------------------- 4k 0.000 0b 16k 0.000 1g 64k 0.001 1g 256k 0.003 1g 1m 0.011 1g 4m 0.045 1g 16m 0.181 1g 64m 0.747 1011m 256m 3.299 1g 1g 14.373 1g Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Acked-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com>

If the refcount hits zero then the completion is triggered. - Initialise refcount to 1 when creating thin_c - When iterating the active_thins list we thin_get() whilst the rcu lock is held. - After the rcu lock is dropped we process the deferred bios for that thin. - When destroying a thin_c we thin_put() and then wait for the completion -- to avoid a race between the worker thread iterating from that thin_c and destroying the thin_c.

dm thin: range discard support Previously REQ_DISCARD bios have been split into block sized chunks before submission to the thin target. There are a couple of issues with this: - If the block size is small, a large discard request can get broken up into a great many bios which is both slow and causes a lot of memory pressure. - The thin pool block size and the discard granularity for the underlying data device need to be compatible if we want to passdown the discard. This patch relaxes the block size granularity for thin devices. It makes use of the recent range locking added to the bio_prison to quiesce a whole range of thin blocks before unmapping them. Once a thin range has been unmapped the discard can then be passed down to the data device for those sub ranges where the data blocks are no longer used (ie. they weren't shared in the first place). This patch also doesn't make any apologies about open-coding portions of block core as a means to supporting async discard completions in the near-term -- if/when late bio splitting lands it'll all get cleaned up.

dm thin: range discard support Previously REQ_DISCARD bios have been split into block sized chunks before submission to the thin target. There are a couple of issues with this: - If the block size is small, a large discard request can get broken up into a great many bios which is both slow and causes a lot of memory pressure. - The thin pool block size and the discard granularity for the underlying data device need to be compatible if we want to passdown the discard. This patch relaxes the block size granularity for thin devices. It makes use of the recent range locking added to the bio_prison to quiesce a whole range of thin blocks before unmapping them. Once a thin range has been unmapped the discard can then be passed down to the data device for those sub ranges where the data blocks are no longer used (ie. they weren't shared in the first place). This patch also doesn't make any apologies about open-coding portions of block core as a means to supporting async discard completions in the near-term -- if/when late bio splitting lands it'll all get cleaned up.

The 'thin' target is used to create instances of the virtual devices that are hosted in the 'thin-pool' target. The thin-pool target provides data sharing among devices. This sharing is made possible using the persistent-data library in the previous patch. The main highlight of this implementation, compared to the previous implementation of snapshots, is that it allows many virtual devices to be stored on the same data volume, simplifying administration and allowing sharing of data between volumes (thus reducing disk usage). Another big feature is support for arbitrary depth of recursive snapshots (snapshots of snapshots of snapshots ...). The previous implementation of snapshots did this by chaining together lookup tables, and so performance was O(depth).

dm thin: sort the per thin deferred bios using an rb_tree A thin-pool will allocate blocks using FIFO order for all thin devices which share the thin-pool. Because of this simplistic allocation the thin-pool's space can become fragmented quite easily; especially when multiple threads are requesting blocks in parallel. Sort each thin device's deferred_bio_list based on logical sector to help reduce fragmentation of the thin-pool's ondisk layout. The following tables illustrate the realized gains/potential offered by sorting each thin device's deferred_bio_list. An "io size"-sized random read of the device would result in "seeks/io" fragments being read, with an average "distance/seek" between each fragment. Data was written to a single thin device using multiple threads via iozone (8 threads, 64K for both the block_size and io_size). unsorted: io size seeks/io distance/seek -------------------------------------- 4k 0.000 0b 16k 0.013 11m 64k 0.065 11m 256k 0.274 10m 1m 1.109 10m 4m 4.411 10m 16m 17.097 11m 64m 60.055 13m 256m 148.798 25m 1g 809.929 21m sorted: io size seeks/io distance/seek -------------------------------------- 4k 0.000 0b 16k 0.000 1g 64k 0.001 1g 256k 0.003 1g 1m 0.011 1g 4m 0.045 1g 16m 0.181 1g 64m 0.747 1011m 256m 3.299 1g 1g 14.373 1g Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Acked-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com>

block: add a bi_error field to struct bio Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO: (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds of error returns. So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

dm: add thin provisioning target Initial EXPERIMENTAL implementation of device-mapper thin provisioning with snapshot support. The 'thin' target is used to create instances of the virtual devices that are hosted in the 'thin-pool' target. The thin-pool target provides data sharing among devices. This sharing is made possible using the persistent-data library in the previous patch. The main highlight of this implementation, compared to the previous implementation of snapshots, is that it allows many virtual devices to be stored on the same data volume, simplifying administration and allowing sharing of data between volumes (thus reducing disk usage). Another big feature is support for arbitrary depth of recursive snapshots (snapshots of snapshots of snapshots ...). The previous implementation of snapshots did this by chaining together lookup tables, and so performance was O(depth). This new implementation uses a single data structure so we don't get this degradation with depth.

However, many small random IOs to unprovisioned space can consume data space at an alarming rate. Adjust your low water mark if you're frequently seeing "out-of-data-space" mode. Before this fix, if data space ran out the pool would be put in PM_READ_ONLY mode which also aborted the pool's current metadata transaction (data loss for any changes in the transaction). This had a side-effect of needlessly compromising data consistency. And retry of queued unserviceable bios, once the data pool was resized, could initiate changes to potentially inconsistent pool metadata. Now when the pool's data space is exhausted transition to a new pool mode (PM_OUT_OF_DATA_SPACE) that allows metadata to be changed but data may not be allocated. This allows users to remove thin volumes or discard data to recover data space. The pool is no longer put in PM_READ_ONLY mode in response to the pool running out of data space.

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: range discard support Previously REQ_DISCARD bios have been split into block sized chunks before submission to the thin target. There are a couple of issues with this: - If the block size is small, a large discard request can get broken up into a great many bios which is both slow and causes a lot of memory pressure. - The thin pool block size and the discard granularity for the underlying data device need to be compatible if we want to passdown the discard. This patch relaxes the block size granularity for thin devices. It makes use of the recent range locking added to the bio_prison to quiesce a whole range of thin blocks before unmapping them. Once a thin range has been unmapped the discard can then be passed down to the data device for those sub ranges where the data blocks are no longer used (ie. they weren't shared in the first place). This patch also doesn't make any apologies about open-coding portions of block core as a means to supporting async discard completions in the near-term -- if/when late bio splitting lands it'll all get cleaned up.

dm thin: fix race between simultaneous io and discards to same block There is a race when discard bios and non-discard bios are issued simultaneously to the same block. Discard support is expensive for all thin devices precisely because you have to be careful to quiesce the area you're discarding. DM thin must handle this conflicting IO pattern (simultaneous non-discard vs discard) even though a sane application shouldn't be issuing such IO. The race manifests as follows: 1. A non-discard bio is mapped in thin_bio_map. This doesn't lock out parallel activity to the same block. 2. A discard bio is issued to the same block as the non-discard bio. 3. The discard bio is locked in a dm_bio_prison_cell in process_discard to lock out parallel activity against the same block. 4. The non-discard bio's mapping continues and its all_io_entry is incremented so the bio is accounted for in the thin pool's all_io_ds which is a dm_deferred_set used to track time locality of non-discard IO. 5. The non-discard bio is finally locked in a dm_bio_prison_cell in process_bio. The race can result in deadlock, leaving the block layer hanging waiting for completion of a discard bio that never completes, e.g.: INFO: task ruby:15354 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

The fix for this race is that the all_io_entry for a bio must be incremented whilst the dm_bio_prison_cell is held for the bio's associated virtual and physical blocks. That cell locking wasn't occurring early enough in thin_bio_map. This patch fixes this. Care is taken to always call the new function inc_all_io_entry() with the relevant cells locked, but they are generally unlocked before calling issue() to try to avoid holding the cells locked across generic_submit_request. Also, now that thin_bio_map may lock bios in a cell, process_bio() is no longer the only thread that will do so. Because of this we must be sure to use cell_defer_except() to release all non-holder entries, that were added by the other thread, because they must be deferred.

dm thin: range discard support Previously REQ_DISCARD bios have been split into block sized chunks before submission to the thin target. There are a couple of issues with this: - If the block size is small, a large discard request can get broken up into a great many bios which is both slow and causes a lot of memory pressure. - The thin pool block size and the discard granularity for the underlying data device need to be compatible if we want to passdown the discard. This patch relaxes the block size granularity for thin devices. It makes use of the recent range locking added to the bio_prison to quiesce a whole range of thin blocks before unmapping them. Once a thin range has been unmapped the discard can then be passed down to the data device for those sub ranges where the data blocks are no longer used (ie. they weren't shared in the first place). This patch also doesn't make any apologies about open-coding portions of block core as a means to supporting async discard completions in the near-term -- if/when late bio splitting lands it'll all get cleaned up.

Split this per-pool deferred_bios list out to per-thin deferred_bios_list -- doing so enables increased parallelism when processing deferred bios.

dm thin: range discard support Previously REQ_DISCARD bios have been split into block sized chunks before submission to the thin target. There are a couple of issues with this: - If the block size is small, a large discard request can get broken up into a great many bios which is both slow and causes a lot of memory pressure. - The thin pool block size and the discard granularity for the underlying data device need to be compatible if we want to passdown the discard. This patch relaxes the block size granularity for thin devices. It makes use of the recent range locking added to the bio_prison to quiesce a whole range of thin blocks before unmapping them. Once a thin range has been unmapped the discard can then be passed down to the data device for those sub ranges where the data blocks are no longer used (ie. they weren't shared in the first place). This patch also doesn't make any apologies about open-coding portions of block core as a means to supporting async discard completions in the near-term -- if/when late bio splitting lands it'll all get cleaned up.

block: add a bi_error field to struct bio Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO: (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds of error returns. So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

dm thin: range discard support Previously REQ_DISCARD bios have been split into block sized chunks before submission to the thin target. There are a couple of issues with this: - If the block size is small, a large discard request can get broken up into a great many bios which is both slow and causes a lot of memory pressure. - The thin pool block size and the discard granularity for the underlying data device need to be compatible if we want to passdown the discard. This patch relaxes the block size granularity for thin devices. It makes use of the recent range locking added to the bio_prison to quiesce a whole range of thin blocks before unmapping them. Once a thin range has been unmapped the discard can then be passed down to the data device for those sub ranges where the data blocks are no longer used (ie. they weren't shared in the first place). This patch also doesn't make any apologies about open-coding portions of block core as a means to supporting async discard completions in the near-term -- if/when late bio splitting lands it'll all get cleaned up.

block: add a bi_error field to struct bio Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO: (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds of error returns. So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

dm: add thin provisioning target Initial EXPERIMENTAL implementation of device-mapper thin provisioning with snapshot support. The 'thin' target is used to create instances of the virtual devices that are hosted in the 'thin-pool' target. The thin-pool target provides data sharing among devices. This sharing is made possible using the persistent-data library in the previous patch. The main highlight of this implementation, compared to the previous implementation of snapshots, is that it allows many virtual devices to be stored on the same data volume, simplifying administration and allowing sharing of data between volumes (thus reducing disk usage). Another big feature is support for arbitrary depth of recursive snapshots (snapshots of snapshots of snapshots ...). The previous implementation of snapshots did this by chaining together lookup tables, and so performance was O(depth).

dm thin: range discard support Previously REQ_DISCARD bios have been split into block sized chunks before submission to the thin target. There are a couple of issues with this: - If the block size is small, a large discard request can get broken up into a great many bios which is both slow and causes a lot of memory pressure. - The thin pool block size and the discard granularity for the underlying data device need to be compatible if we want to passdown the discard. This patch relaxes the block size granularity for thin devices. It makes use of the recent range locking added to the bio_prison to quiesce a whole range of thin blocks before unmapping them. Once a thin range has been unmapped the discard can then be passed down to the data device for those sub ranges where the data blocks are no longer used (ie. they weren't shared in the first place). This patch also doesn't make any apologies about open-coding portions of block core as a means to supporting async discard completions in the near-term -- if/when late bio splitting lands it'll all get cleaned up.

dm: add thin provisioning target Initial EXPERIMENTAL implementation of device-mapper thin provisioning with snapshot support. The 'thin' target is used to create instances of the virtual devices that are hosted in the 'thin-pool' target. The thin-pool target provides data sharing among devices. This sharing is made possible using the persistent-data library in the previous patch. The main highlight of this implementation, compared to the previous implementation of snapshots, is that it allows many virtual devices to be stored on the same data volume, simplifying administration and allowing sharing of data between volumes (thus reducing disk usage). Another big feature is support for arbitrary depth of recursive snapshots (snapshots of snapshots of snapshots ...).

dm thin: range discard support Previously REQ_DISCARD bios have been split into block sized chunks before submission to the thin target. There are a couple of issues with this: - If the block size is small, a large discard request can get broken up into a great many bios which is both slow and causes a lot of memory pressure. - The thin pool block size and the discard granularity for the underlying data device need to be compatible if we want to passdown the discard. This patch relaxes the block size granularity for thin devices. It makes use of the recent range locking added to the bio_prison to quiesce a whole range of thin blocks before unmapping them. Once a thin range has been unmapped the discard can then be passed down to the data device for those sub ranges where the data blocks are no longer used (ie. they weren't shared in the first place). This patch also doesn't make any apologies about open-coding portions of block core as a means to supporting async discard completions in the near-term -- if/when late bio splitting lands it'll all get cleaned up.

dm thin: add read only and fail io modes 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: add thin provisioning target Initial EXPERIMENTAL implementation of device-mapper thin provisioning with snapshot support. The 'thin' target is used to create instances of the virtual devices that are hosted in the 'thin-pool' target. The thin-pool target provides data sharing among devices. This sharing is made possible using the persistent-data library in the previous patch. The main highlight of this implementation, compared to the previous implementation of snapshots, is that it allows many virtual devices to be stored on the same data volume, simplifying administration and allowing sharing of data between volumes (thus reducing disk usage). Another big feature is support for arbitrary depth of recursive snapshots (snapshots of snapshots of snapshots ...). The previous implementation of snapshots did this by chaining together lookup tables, and so performance was O(depth). This new implementation uses a single data structure so we don't get this degradation with depth.

dm thin: fix out of data space handling Ideally a thin pool would never run out of data space; the low water mark would trigger userland to extend the pool before we completely run out of space. However, many small random IOs to unprovisioned space can consume data space at an alarming rate. Adjust your low water mark if you're frequently seeing "out-of-data-space" mode. Before this fix, if data space ran out the pool would be put in PM_READ_ONLY mode which also aborted the pool's current metadata transaction (data loss for any changes in the transaction). This had a side-effect of needlessly compromising data consistency. And retry of queued unserviceable bios, once the data pool was resized, could initiate changes to potentially inconsistent pool metadata. Now when the pool's data space is exhausted transition to a new pool mode (PM_OUT_OF_DATA_SPACE) that allows metadata to be changed but data may not be allocated. This allows users to remove thin volumes or discard data to recover data space. The pool is no longer put in PM_READ_ONLY mode in response to the pool running out of data space. And PM_READ_ONLY mode no longer aborts the pool's current metadata transaction. Also, set_pool_mode() will now notify userspace when the pool mode is changed.

dm thin: fix out of data space handling Ideally a thin pool would never run out of data space; the low water mark would trigger userland to extend the pool before we completely run out of space.

With this patch the resize_io test passes again (on slower storage): dmtest run --suite thin-provisioning -n /resize_io/ Later patches fix some subtle races associated with the pool mode transitions done as part of the pool's -ENOSPC handling.

block: add a bi_error field to struct bio Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO: (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds of error returns. So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

dm thin: eliminate the no_free_space flag The pool's error_if_no_space flag can easily serve the same purpose that no_free_space did, namely: control whether handle_unserviceable_bio() will error a bio or requeue it. This is cleaner since error_if_no_space is established when the pool's features are processed during table load. So it avoids managing the no_free_space flag by taking the pool's spinlock.

dm thin: cleanup and improve no space handling Factor out_of_data_space() out of alloc_data_block(). Eliminate the use of 'no_free_space' as a latch in alloc_data_block() -- this is no longer needed now that we switch to read-only mode when we run out of data or metadata space. In a later patch, the 'no_free_space' flag will be eliminated entirely (in favor of checking metadata rather than relying on a transient flag). Move no metdata space handling into metdata_operation_failed(). Set no_free_space when metadata space is exhausted too. This is useful, because it offers consistency, for the following patch that will requeue data IOs if no_free_space. Also, rename no_space() to retry_bios_on_resume().

This sharing is made possible using the persistent-data library in the previous patch. The main highlight of this implementation, compared to the previous implementation of snapshots, is that it allows many virtual devices to be stored on the same data volume, simplifying administration and allowing sharing of data between volumes (thus reducing disk usage). Another big feature is support for arbitrary depth of recursive snapshots (snapshots of snapshots of snapshots ...). The previous implementation of snapshots did this by chaining together lookup tables, and so performance was O(depth).

There are a couple of issues with this: - If the block size is small, a large discard request can get broken up into a great many bios which is both slow and causes a lot of memory pressure. - The thin pool block size and the discard granularity for the underlying data device need to be compatible if we want to passdown the discard. This patch relaxes the block size granularity for thin devices. It makes use of the recent range locking added to the bio_prison to quiesce a whole range of thin blocks before unmapping them. Once a thin range has been unmapped the discard can then be passed down to the data device for those sub ranges where the data blocks are no longer used (ie. they weren't shared in the first place). This patch also doesn't make any apologies about open-coding portions of block core as a means to supporting async discard completions in the near-term -- if/when late bio splitting lands it'll all get cleaned up.

If the associated block(s) are no longer shared the discard is passed to the underlying device. All bios other than discards now have an associated deferred_entry that is saved to the 'all_io_entry' in endio_hook. When non-discard IO completes and associated mappings are quiesced any discards that were deferred, via ds_add_work() in process_discard(), will be queued for processing by the worker thread.

block: add a bi_error field to struct bio Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO: (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds of error returns. So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

Eliminate the use of 'no_free_space' as a latch in alloc_data_block() -- this is no longer needed now that we switch to read-only mode when we run out of data or metadata space. In a later patch, the 'no_free_space' flag will be eliminated entirely (in favor of checking metadata rather than relying on a transient flag). Move no metdata space handling into metdata_operation_failed(). Set no_free_space when metadata space is exhausted too. This is useful, because it offers consistency, for the following patch that will requeue data IOs if no_free_space. Also, rename no_space() to retry_bios_on_resume().

dm thin: fix race between simultaneous io and discards to same block There is a race when discard bios and non-discard bios are issued simultaneously to the same block. Discard support is expensive for all thin devices precisely because you have to be careful to quiesce the area you're discarding. DM thin must handle this conflicting IO pattern (simultaneous non-discard vs discard) even though a sane application shouldn't be issuing such IO. The race manifests as follows: 1. A non-discard bio is mapped in thin_bio_map. This doesn't lock out parallel activity to the same block. 2. A discard bio is issued to the same block as the non-discard bio. 3. The discard bio is locked in a dm_bio_prison_cell in process_discard to lock out parallel activity against the same block. 4. The non-discard bio's mapping continues and its all_io_entry is incremented so the bio is accounted for in the thin pool's all_io_ds which is a dm_deferred_set used to track time locality of non-discard IO. 5. The non-discard bio is finally locked in a dm_bio_prison_cell in process_bio. The race can result in deadlock, leaving the block layer hanging waiting for completion of a discard bio that never completes, e.g.: INFO: task ruby:15354 blocked for more than 120 seconds. "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. ruby D ffffffff8160f0e0 0 15354 15314 0x00000000 ffff8802fb08bc58 0000000000000082 ffff8802fb08bfd8 0000000000012900 ffff8802fb08a010 0000000000012900 0000000000012900 0000000000012900 ffff8802fb08bfd8 0000000000012900 ffff8803324b9480 ffff88032c6f14c0 Call Trace: [<ffffffff814e5a19>] schedule+0x29/0x70 [<ffffffff814e3d85>] schedule_timeout+0x195/0x220 [<ffffffffa06b9bc1>] ? _dm_request+0x111/0x160 [dm_mod] [<ffffffff814e589e>] wait_for_common+0x11e/0x190 [<ffffffff8107a170>] ? try_to_wake_up+0x2b0/0x2b0 [<ffffffff814e59ed>] wait_for_completion+0x1d/0x20 [<ffffffff81233289>] blkdev_issue_discard+0x219/0x260 [<ffffffff81233e79>] blkdev_ioctl+0x6e9/0x7b0 [<ffffffff8119a65c>] block_ioctl+0x3c/0x40 [<ffffffff8117539c>] do_vfs_ioctl+0x8c/0x340 [<ffffffff8119a547>] ? block_llseek+0x67/0xb0 [<ffffffff811756f1>] sys_ioctl+0xa1/0xb0 [<ffffffff810561f6>] ? sys_rt_sigprocmask+0x86/0xd0 [<ffffffff814ef099>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b The thinp-test-suite's test_discard_random_sectors reliably hits this deadlock on fast SSD storage. The fix for this race is that the all_io_entry for a bio must be incremented whilst the dm_bio_prison_cell is held for the bio's associated virtual and physical blocks. That cell locking wasn't occurring early enough in thin_bio_map. This patch fixes this. Care is taken to always call the new function inc_all_io_entry() with the relevant cells locked, but they are generally unlocked before calling issue() to try to avoid holding the cells locked across generic_submit_request. Also, now that thin_bio_map may lock bios in a cell, process_bio() is no longer the only thread that will do so. Because of this we must be sure to use cell_defer_except() to release all non-holder entries, that were added by the other thread, because they must be deferred. This patch depends on "dm thin: replace dm_cell_release_singleton with cell_defer_except".

The fix for this race is that the all_io_entry for a bio must be incremented whilst the dm_bio_prison_cell is held for the bio's associated virtual and physical blocks. That cell locking wasn't occurring early enough in thin_bio_map. This patch fixes this. Care is taken to always call the new function inc_all_io_entry() with the relevant cells locked, but they are generally unlocked before calling issue() to try to avoid holding the cells locked across generic_submit_request. Also, now that thin_bio_map may lock bios in a cell, process_bio() is no longer the only thread that will do so. Because of this we must be sure to use cell_defer_except() to release all non-holder entries, that were added by the other thread, because they must be deferred.

block: add a bi_error field to struct bio Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO: (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds of error returns. So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

dm thin: cleanup and improve no space handling Factor out_of_data_space() out of alloc_data_block(). Eliminate the use of 'no_free_space' as a latch in alloc_data_block() -- this is no longer needed now that we switch to read-only mode when we run out of data or metadata space. In a later patch, the 'no_free_space' flag will be eliminated entirely (in favor of checking metadata rather than relying on a transient flag). Move no metdata space handling into metdata_operation_failed(). Set no_free_space when metadata space is exhausted too. This is useful, because it offers consistency, for the following patch that will requeue data IOs if no_free_space. Also, rename no_space() to retry_bios_on_resume().

dm thin: fix race between simultaneous io and discards to same block There is a race when discard bios and non-discard bios are issued simultaneously to the same block. Discard support is expensive for all thin devices precisely because you have to be careful to quiesce the area you're discarding. DM thin must handle this conflicting IO pattern (simultaneous non-discard vs discard) even though a sane application shouldn't be issuing such IO. The race manifests as follows: 1. A non-discard bio is mapped in thin_bio_map. This doesn't lock out parallel activity to the same block. 2. A discard bio is issued to the same block as the non-discard bio. 3. The discard bio is locked in a dm_bio_prison_cell in process_discard to lock out parallel activity against the same block. 4. The non-discard bio's mapping continues and its all_io_entry is incremented so the bio is accounted for in the thin pool's all_io_ds which is a dm_deferred_set used to track time locality of non-discard IO. 5. The non-discard bio is finally locked in a dm_bio_prison_cell in process_bio. The race can result in deadlock, leaving the block layer hanging waiting for completion of a discard bio that never completes, e.g.: INFO: task ruby:15354 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

dm thin: fix race between simultaneous io and discards to same block There is a race when discard bios and non-discard bios are issued simultaneously to the same block. Discard support is expensive for all thin devices precisely because you have to be careful to quiesce the area you're discarding. DM thin must handle this conflicting IO pattern (simultaneous non-discard vs discard) even though a sane application shouldn't be issuing such IO. The race manifests as follows: 1. A non-discard bio is mapped in thin_bio_map. This doesn't lock out parallel activity to the same block. 2. A discard bio is issued to the same block as the non-discard bio. 3. The discard bio is locked in a dm_bio_prison_cell in process_discard to lock out parallel activity against the same block. 4. The non-discard bio's mapping continues and its all_io_entry is incremented so the bio is accounted for in the thin pool's all_io_ds which is a dm_deferred_set used to track time locality of non-discard IO. 5. The non-discard bio is finally locked in a dm_bio_prison_cell in process_bio. The race can result in deadlock, leaving the block layer hanging waiting for completion of a discard bio that never completes, e.g.: INFO: task ruby:15354 blocked for more than 120 seconds. "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. ruby D ffffffff8160f0e0 0 15354 15314 0x00000000 ffff8802fb08bc58 0000000000000082 ffff8802fb08bfd8 0000000000012900 ffff8802fb08a010 0000000000012900 0000000000012900 0000000000012900 ffff8802fb08bfd8 0000000000012900 ffff8803324b9480 ffff88032c6f14c0 Call Trace: [<ffffffff814e5a19>] schedule+0x29/0x70 [<ffffffff814e3d85>] schedule_timeout+0x195/0x220 [<ffffffffa06b9bc1>] ? _dm_request+0x111/0x160 [dm_mod] [<ffffffff814e589e>] wait_for_common+0x11e/0x190 [<ffffffff8107a170>] ? try_to_wake_up+0x2b0/0x2b0 [<ffffffff814e59ed>] wait_for_completion+0x1d/0x20 [<ffffffff81233289>] blkdev_issue_discard+0x219/0x260 [<ffffffff81233e79>] blkdev_ioctl+0x6e9/0x7b0 [<ffffffff8119a65c>] block_ioctl+0x3c/0x40 [<ffffffff8117539c>] do_vfs_ioctl+0x8c/0x340 [<ffffffff8119a547>] ? block_llseek+0x67/0xb0 [<ffffffff811756f1>] sys_ioctl+0xa1/0xb0 [<ffffffff810561f6>] ? sys_rt_sigprocmask+0x86/0xd0 [<ffffffff814ef099>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b The thinp-test-suite's test_discard_random_sectors reliably hits this deadlock on fast SSD storage. The fix for this race is that the all_io_entry for a bio must be incremented whilst the dm_bio_prison_cell is held for the bio's associated virtual and physical blocks. That cell locking wasn't occurring early enough in thin_bio_map. This patch fixes this. Care is taken to always call the new function inc_all_io_entry() with the relevant cells locked, but they are generally unlocked before calling issue() to try to avoid holding the cells locked across generic_submit_request. Also, now that thin_bio_map may lock bios in a cell, process_bio() is no longer the only thread that will do so. Because of this we must be sure to use cell_defer_except() to release all non-holder entries, that were added by the other thread, because they must be deferred. This patch depends on "dm thin: replace dm_cell_release_singleton with cell_defer_except".

block: add a bi_error field to struct bio Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO: (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds of error returns. So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

dm: add thin provisioning target Initial EXPERIMENTAL implementation of device-mapper thin provisioning with snapshot support. The 'thin' target is used to create instances of the virtual devices that are hosted in the 'thin-pool' target. The thin-pool target provides data sharing among devices. This sharing is made possible using the persistent-data library in the previous patch. The main highlight of this implementation, compared to the previous implementation of snapshots, is that it allows many virtual devices to be stored on the same data volume, simplifying administration and allowing sharing of data between volumes (thus reducing disk usage). Another big feature is support for arbitrary depth of recursive snapshots (snapshots of snapshots of snapshots ...). The previous implementation of snapshots did this by chaining together lookup tables, and so performance was O(depth). This new implementation uses a single data structure so we don't get this degradation with depth.

"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. ruby D ffffffff8160f0e0 0 15354 15314 0x00000000 ffff8802fb08bc58 0000000000000082 ffff8802fb08bfd8 0000000000012900 ffff8802fb08a010 0000000000012900 0000000000012900 0000000000012900 ffff8802fb08bfd8 0000000000012900 ffff8803324b9480 ffff88032c6f14c0 Call Trace: [<ffffffff814e5a19>] schedule+0x29/0x70 [<ffffffff814e3d85>] schedule_timeout+0x195/0x220 [<ffffffffa06b9bc1>] ? _dm_request+0x111/0x160 [dm_mod] [<ffffffff814e589e>] wait_for_common+0x11e/0x190 [<ffffffff8107a170>] ? try_to_wake_up+0x2b0/0x2b0 [<ffffffff814e59ed>] wait_for_completion+0x1d/0x20 [<ffffffff81233289>] blkdev_issue_discard+0x219/0x260 [<ffffffff81233e79>] blkdev_ioctl+0x6e9/0x7b0 [<ffffffff8119a65c>] block_ioctl+0x3c/0x40 [<ffffffff8117539c>] do_vfs_ioctl+0x8c/0x340 [<ffffffff8119a547>] ? block_llseek+0x67/0xb0 [<ffffffff811756f1>] sys_ioctl+0xa1/0xb0 [<ffffffff810561f6>] ? sys_rt_sigprocmask+0x86/0xd0 [<ffffffff814ef099>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b The thinp-test-suite's test_discard_random_sectors reliably hits this deadlock on fast SSD storage. The fix for this race is that the all_io_entry for a bio must be incremented whilst the dm_bio_prison_cell is held for the bio's associated virtual and physical blocks. That cell locking wasn't occurring early enough in thin_bio_map. This patch fixes this. Care is taken to always call the new function inc_all_io_entry() with the relevant cells locked, but they are generally unlocked before calling issue() to try to avoid holding the cells locked across generic_submit_request. Also, now that thin_bio_map may lock bios in a cell, process_bio() is no longer the only thread that will do so. Because of this we must be sure to use cell_defer_except() to release all non-holder entries, that were added by the other thread, because they must be deferred. This patch depends on "dm thin: replace dm_cell_release_singleton with cell_defer_except".

block: add a bi_error field to struct bio Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO: (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds of error returns. So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

dm thin: fix out of data space handling Ideally a thin pool would never run out of data space; the low water mark would trigger userland to extend the pool before we completely run out of space. However, many small random IOs to unprovisioned space can consume data space at an alarming rate. Adjust your low water mark if you're frequently seeing "out-of-data-space" mode. Before this fix, if data space ran out the pool would be put in PM_READ_ONLY mode which also aborted the pool's current metadata transaction (data loss for any changes in the transaction). This had a side-effect of needlessly compromising data consistency. And retry of queued unserviceable bios, once the data pool was resized, could initiate changes to potentially inconsistent pool metadata. Now when the pool's data space is exhausted transition to a new pool mode (PM_OUT_OF_DATA_SPACE) that allows metadata to be changed but data may not be allocated. This allows users to remove thin volumes or discard data to recover data space. The pool is no longer put in PM_READ_ONLY mode in response to the pool running out of data space. And PM_READ_ONLY mode no longer aborts the pool's current metadata transaction. Also, set_pool_mode() will now notify userspace when the pool mode is changed.

Split this per-pool deferred_bios list out to per-thin deferred_bios_list -- doing so enables increased parallelism when processing deferred bios. And now that each thin device has it's own deferred_bios_list we can sort all bios in the list using logical sector. The requeue code in error handling path is also cleaner as a side-effect.

dm thin: sort the per thin deferred bios using an rb_tree A thin-pool will allocate blocks using FIFO order for all thin devices which share the thin-pool. Because of this simplistic allocation the thin-pool's space can become fragmented quite easily; especially when multiple threads are requesting blocks in parallel. Sort each thin device's deferred_bio_list based on logical sector to help reduce fragmentation of the thin-pool's ondisk layout. The following tables illustrate the realized gains/potential offered by sorting each thin device's deferred_bio_list. An "io size"-sized random read of the device would result in "seeks/io" fragments being read, with an average "distance/seek" between each fragment. Data was written to a single thin device using multiple threads via iozone (8 threads, 64K for both the block_size and io_size). unsorted: io size seeks/io distance/seek -------------------------------------- 4k 0.000 0b 16k 0.013 11m 64k 0.065 11m 256k 0.274 10m 1m 1.109 10m 4m 4.411 10m 16m 17.097 11m 64m 60.055 13m 256m 148.798 25m 1g 809.929 21m sorted: io size seeks/io distance/seek -------------------------------------- 4k 0.000 0b 16k 0.000 1g 64k 0.001 1g 256k 0.003 1g 1m 0.011 1g 4m 0.045 1g 16m 0.181 1g 64m 0.747 1011m 256m 3.299 1g 1g 14.373 1g Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Acked-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com>

dm: add thin provisioning target Initial EXPERIMENTAL implementation of device-mapper thin provisioning with snapshot support. The 'thin' target is used to create instances of the virtual devices that are hosted in the 'thin-pool' target. The thin-pool target provides data sharing among devices. This sharing is made possible using the persistent-data library in the previous patch. The main highlight of this implementation, compared to the previous implementation of snapshots, is that it allows many virtual devices to be stored on the same data volume, simplifying administration and allowing sharing of data between volumes (thus reducing disk usage). Another big feature is support for arbitrary depth of recursive snapshots (snapshots of snapshots of snapshots ...). The previous implementation of snapshots did this by chaining together lookup tables, and so performance was O(depth). This new implementation uses a single data structure so we don't get this degradation with depth.

dm thin: throttle incoming IO Throttle IO based on the time it's taking the worker to do one loop. There were reports of hung task timeouts occuring and it was observed that the excessively long avgqu-sz (as reported by iostat) was contributing to these hung tasks. Throttling definitely helps dm-thinp perform better under heavy IO load (without being detremental by being overzealous). It reduces avgqu-sz drastically, e.g.: from 60K to ~6K, and even as low as 150 once metadata is cached by bufio, when dirty_ratio=5, dirty_background_ratio=2. And avgqu-sz stays at or below 30K even with dirty_ratio=20, dirty_background_ratio=10. Signed-off-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

If the refcount hits zero then the completion is triggered. - Initialise refcount to 1 when creating thin_c - When iterating the active_thins list we thin_get() whilst the rcu lock is held. - After the rcu lock is dropped we process the deferred bios for that thin. - When destroying a thin_c we thin_put() and then wait for the completion -- to avoid a race between the worker thread iterating from that thin_c and destroying the thin_c.

dm: add thin provisioning target Initial EXPERIMENTAL implementation of device-mapper thin provisioning with snapshot support. The 'thin' target is used to create instances of the virtual devices that are hosted in the 'thin-pool' target. The thin-pool target provides data sharing among devices. This sharing is made possible using the persistent-data library in the previous patch. The main highlight of this implementation, compared to the previous implementation of snapshots, is that it allows many virtual devices to be stored on the same data volume, simplifying administration and allowing sharing of data between volumes (thus reducing disk usage). Another big feature is support for arbitrary depth of recursive snapshots (snapshots of snapshots of snapshots ...). The previous implementation of snapshots did this by chaining together lookup tables, and so performance was O(depth). This new implementation uses a single data structure so we don't get this degradation with depth.

There was no reason to make metadata read-only -- calling set_pool_mode() with PM_READ_ONLY was a misguided way to error all queued and future write IOs. We can accomplish the same by degrading from PM_OUT_OF_DATA_SPACE to PM_OUT_OF_DATA_SPACE with error_if_no_space enabled. Otherwise, the use of PM_READ_ONLY could cause a race where commit() was started before the PM_READ_ONLY transition but dm_pool_commit_metadata() would go on to fail because the block manager had transitioned to read-only. The return of -EPERM from dm_pool_commit_metadata(), due to attempting to commit while in read-only mode, caused the thin-pool to set 'needs_check' because a metadata_operation_failed().

dm thin: fix out of data space handling Ideally a thin pool would never run out of data space; the low water mark would trigger userland to extend the pool before we completely run out of space. However, many small random IOs to unprovisioned space can consume data space at an alarming rate. Adjust your low water mark if you're frequently seeing "out-of-data-space" mode. Before this fix, if data space ran out the pool would be put in PM_READ_ONLY mode which also aborted the pool's current metadata transaction (data loss for any changes in the transaction). This had a side-effect of needlessly compromising data consistency. And retry of queued unserviceable bios, once the data pool was resized, could initiate changes to potentially inconsistent pool metadata. Now when the pool's data space is exhausted transition to a new pool mode (PM_OUT_OF_DATA_SPACE) that allows metadata to be changed but data may not be allocated. This allows users to remove thin volumes or discard data to recover data space. The pool is no longer put in PM_READ_ONLY mode in response to the pool running out of data space. And PM_READ_ONLY mode no longer aborts the pool's current metadata transaction. Also, set_pool_mode() will now notify userspace when the pool mode is changed.

When the pool mode is changed it isn't synchronized with the mode in pool_features stored in the target's context (ti->private) that is used as the basis for (re)establishing the pool mode during resume via bind_control_target.

dm thin: fix out of data space handling Ideally a thin pool would never run out of data space; the low water mark would trigger userland to extend the pool before we completely run out of space. However, many small random IOs to unprovisioned space can consume data space at an alarming rate. Adjust your low water mark if you're frequently seeing "out-of-data-space" mode. Before this fix, if data space ran out the pool would be put in PM_READ_ONLY mode which also aborted the pool's current metadata transaction (data loss for any changes in the transaction). This had a side-effect of needlessly compromising data consistency. And retry of queued unserviceable bios, once the data pool was resized, could initiate changes to potentially inconsistent pool metadata. Now when the pool's data space is exhausted transition to a new pool mode (PM_OUT_OF_DATA_SPACE) that allows metadata to be changed but data may not be allocated. This allows users to remove thin volumes or discard data to recover data space. The pool is no longer put in PM_READ_ONLY mode in response to the pool running out of data space. And PM_READ_ONLY mode no longer aborts the pool's current metadata transaction. Also, set_pool_mode() will now notify userspace when the pool mode is changed.

dm thin: range discard support Previously REQ_DISCARD bios have been split into block sized chunks before submission to the thin target. There are a couple of issues with this: - If the block size is small, a large discard request can get broken up into a great many bios which is both slow and causes a lot of memory pressure. - The thin pool block size and the discard granularity for the underlying data device need to be compatible if we want to passdown the discard. This patch relaxes the block size granularity for thin devices. It makes use of the recent range locking added to the bio_prison to quiesce a whole range of thin blocks before unmapping them. Once a thin range has been unmapped the discard can then be passed down to the data device for those sub ranges where the data blocks are no longer used (ie. they weren't shared in the first place). This patch also doesn't make any apologies about open-coding portions of block core as a means to supporting async discard completions in the near-term -- if/when late bio splitting lands it'll all get cleaned up.

dm thin: add timeout to stop out-of-data-space mode holding IO forever If the pool runs out of data space, dm-thin can be configured to either error IOs that would trigger provisioning, or hold those IOs until the pool is resized. Unfortunately, holding IOs until the pool is resized can result in a cascade of tasks hitting the hung_task_timeout, which may render the system unavailable. Add a fixed timeout so IOs can only be held for a maximum of 60 seconds. If LVM is going to resize a thin-pool that is out of data space it needs to be prompt about it.

dm thin: restore requested 'error_if_no_space' setting on OODS to WRITE transition A thin-pool that is in out-of-data-space (OODS) mode may transition back to write mode -- without the admin adding more space to the thin-pool -- if/when blocks are released (either by deleting thin devices or discarding provisioned blocks). But as part of the thin-pool's earlier transition to out-of-data-space mode the thin-pool may have set the 'error_if_no_space' flag to true if the no_space_timeout expires without more space having been made available. That implementation detail, of changing the pool's error_if_no_space setting, needs to be reset back to the default that the user specified when the thin-pool's table was loaded.

dm thin: fix race between simultaneous io and discards to same block There is a race when discard bios and non-discard bios are issued simultaneously to the same block. Discard support is expensive for all thin devices precisely because you have to be careful to quiesce the area you're discarding. DM thin must handle this conflicting IO pattern (simultaneous non-discard vs discard) even though a sane application shouldn't be issuing such IO. The race manifests as follows: 1. A non-discard bio is mapped in thin_bio_map. This doesn't lock out parallel activity to the same block. 2. A discard bio is issued to the same block as the non-discard bio. 3. The discard bio is locked in a dm_bio_prison_cell in process_discard to lock out parallel activity against the same block. 4. The non-discard bio's mapping continues and its all_io_entry is incremented so the bio is accounted for in the thin pool's all_io_ds which is a dm_deferred_set used to track time locality of non-discard IO. 5. The non-discard bio is finally locked in a dm_bio_prison_cell in process_bio. The race can result in deadlock, leaving the block layer hanging waiting for completion of a discard bio that never completes, e.g.: INFO: task ruby:15354 blocked for more than 120 seconds. "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. ruby D ffffffff8160f0e0 0 15354 15314 0x00000000 ffff8802fb08bc58 0000000000000082 ffff8802fb08bfd8 0000000000012900 ffff8802fb08a010 0000000000012900 0000000000012900 0000000000012900 ffff8802fb08bfd8 0000000000012900 ffff8803324b9480 ffff88032c6f14c0 Call Trace: [<ffffffff814e5a19>] schedule+0x29/0x70 [<ffffffff814e3d85>] schedule_timeout+0x195/0x220 [<ffffffffa06b9bc1>] ? _dm_request+0x111/0x160 [dm_mod] [<ffffffff814e589e>] wait_for_common+0x11e/0x190 [<ffffffff8107a170>] ? try_to_wake_up+0x2b0/0x2b0 [<ffffffff814e59ed>] wait_for_completion+0x1d/0x20 [<ffffffff81233289>] blkdev_issue_discard+0x219/0x260 [<ffffffff81233e79>] blkdev_ioctl+0x6e9/0x7b0 [<ffffffff8119a65c>] block_ioctl+0x3c/0x40 [<ffffffff8117539c>] do_vfs_ioctl+0x8c/0x340 [<ffffffff8119a547>] ? block_llseek+0x67/0xb0 [<ffffffff811756f1>] sys_ioctl+0xa1/0xb0 [<ffffffff810561f6>] ? sys_rt_sigprocmask+0x86/0xd0 [<ffffffff814ef099>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b The thinp-test-suite's test_discard_random_sectors reliably hits this deadlock on fast SSD storage. The fix for this race is that the all_io_entry for a bio must be incremented whilst the dm_bio_prison_cell is held for the bio's associated virtual and physical blocks. That cell locking wasn't occurring early enough in thin_bio_map. This patch fixes this. Care is taken to always call the new function inc_all_io_entry() with the relevant cells locked, but they are generally unlocked before calling issue() to try to avoid holding the cells locked across generic_submit_request. Also, now that thin_bio_map may lock bios in a cell, process_bio() is no longer the only thread that will do so. Because of this we must be sure to use cell_defer_except() to release all non-holder entries, that were added by the other thread, because they must be deferred.

dm thin: range discard support Previously REQ_DISCARD bios have been split into block sized chunks before submission to the thin target. There are a couple of issues with this: - If the block size is small, a large discard request can get broken up into a great many bios which is both slow and causes a lot of memory pressure. - The thin pool block size and the discard granularity for the underlying data device need to be compatible if we want to passdown the discard. This patch relaxes the block size granularity for thin devices. It makes use of the recent range locking added to the bio_prison to quiesce a whole range of thin blocks before unmapping them. Once a thin range has been unmapped the discard can then be passed down to the data device for those sub ranges where the data blocks are no longer used (ie. they weren't shared in the first place). This patch also doesn't make any apologies about open-coding portions of block core as a means to supporting async discard completions in the near-term -- if/when late bio splitting lands it'll all get cleaned up.

dm thin: fix race between simultaneous io and discards to same block There is a race when discard bios and non-discard bios are issued simultaneously to the same block. Discard support is expensive for all thin devices precisely because you have to be careful to quiesce the area you're discarding. DM thin must handle this conflicting IO pattern (simultaneous non-discard vs discard) even though a sane application shouldn't be issuing such IO. The race manifests as follows: 1. A non-discard bio is mapped in thin_bio_map. This doesn't lock out parallel activity to the same block. 2. A discard bio is issued to the same block as the non-discard bio. 3. The discard bio is locked in a dm_bio_prison_cell in process_discard to lock out parallel activity against the same block. 4. The non-discard bio's mapping continues and its all_io_entry is incremented so the bio is accounted for in the thin pool's all_io_ds which is a dm_deferred_set used to track time locality of non-discard IO. 5. The non-discard bio is finally locked in a dm_bio_prison_cell in process_bio. The race can result in deadlock, leaving the block layer hanging waiting for completion of a discard bio that never completes, e.g.: INFO: task ruby:15354 blocked for more than 120 seconds. "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. ruby D ffffffff8160f0e0 0 15354 15314 0x00000000 ffff8802fb08bc58 0000000000000082 ffff8802fb08bfd8 0000000000012900 ffff8802fb08a010 0000000000012900 0000000000012900 0000000000012900 ffff8802fb08bfd8 0000000000012900 ffff8803324b9480 ffff88032c6f14c0 Call Trace: [<ffffffff814e5a19>] schedule+0x29/0x70 [<ffffffff814e3d85>] schedule_timeout+0x195/0x220 [<ffffffffa06b9bc1>] ? _dm_request+0x111/0x160 [dm_mod] [<ffffffff814e589e>] wait_for_common+0x11e/0x190 [<ffffffff8107a170>] ? try_to_wake_up+0x2b0/0x2b0 [<ffffffff814e59ed>] wait_for_completion+0x1d/0x20 [<ffffffff81233289>] blkdev_issue_discard+0x219/0x260 [<ffffffff81233e79>] blkdev_ioctl+0x6e9/0x7b0 [<ffffffff8119a65c>] block_ioctl+0x3c/0x40 [<ffffffff8117539c>] do_vfs_ioctl+0x8c/0x340 [<ffffffff8119a547>] ? block_llseek+0x67/0xb0 [<ffffffff811756f1>] sys_ioctl+0xa1/0xb0 [<ffffffff810561f6>] ? sys_rt_sigprocmask+0x86/0xd0 [<ffffffff814ef099>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b The thinp-test-suite's test_discard_random_sectors reliably hits this deadlock on fast SSD storage. The fix for this race is that the all_io_entry for a bio must be incremented whilst the dm_bio_prison_cell is held for the bio's associated virtual and physical blocks. That cell locking wasn't occurring early enough in thin_bio_map. This patch fixes this. Care is taken to always call the new function inc_all_io_entry() with the relevant cells locked, but they are generally unlocked before calling issue() to try to avoid holding the cells locked across generic_submit_request.

block: add a bi_error field to struct bio Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO: (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds of error returns. So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

dm thin: throttle incoming IO Throttle IO based on the time it's taking the worker to do one loop. There were reports of hung task timeouts occuring and it was observed that the excessively long avgqu-sz (as reported by iostat) was contributing to these hung tasks. Throttling definitely helps dm-thinp perform better under heavy IO load (without being detremental by being overzealous). It reduces avgqu-sz drastically, e.g.: from 60K to ~6K, and even as low as 150 once metadata is cached by bufio, when dirty_ratio=5, dirty_background_ratio=2. And avgqu-sz stays at or below 30K even with dirty_ratio=20, dirty_background_ratio=10. Signed-off-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

dm thin: fix race between simultaneous io and discards to same block There is a race when discard bios and non-discard bios are issued simultaneously to the same block. Discard support is expensive for all thin devices precisely because you have to be careful to quiesce the area you're discarding. DM thin must handle this conflicting IO pattern (simultaneous non-discard vs discard) even though a sane application shouldn't be issuing such IO. The race manifests as follows: 1. A non-discard bio is mapped in thin_bio_map. This doesn't lock out parallel activity to the same block. 2. A discard bio is issued to the same block as the non-discard bio. 3. The discard bio is locked in a dm_bio_prison_cell in process_discard to lock out parallel activity against the same block. 4. The non-discard bio's mapping continues and its all_io_entry is incremented so the bio is accounted for in the thin pool's all_io_ds which is a dm_deferred_set used to track time locality of non-discard IO. 5. The non-discard bio is finally locked in a dm_bio_prison_cell in process_bio.

dm: add thin provisioning target Initial EXPERIMENTAL implementation of device-mapper thin provisioning with snapshot support. The 'thin' target is used to create instances of the virtual devices that are hosted in the 'thin-pool' target. The thin-pool target provides data sharing among devices. This sharing is made possible using the persistent-data library in the previous patch. The main highlight of this implementation, compared to the previous implementation of snapshots, is that it allows many virtual devices to be stored on the same data volume, simplifying administration and allowing sharing of data between volumes (thus reducing disk usage). Another big feature is support for arbitrary depth of recursive snapshots (snapshots of snapshots of snapshots ...). The previous implementation of snapshots did this by chaining together lookup tables, and so performance was O(depth).

dm thin: fix discard support for data devices The discard limits that get established for a thin-pool or thin device may be incompatible with the pool's data device.

dm: add thin provisioning target Initial EXPERIMENTAL implementation of device-mapper thin provisioning with snapshot support. The 'thin' target is used to create instances of the virtual devices that are hosted in the 'thin-pool' target. The thin-pool target provides data sharing among devices. This sharing is made possible using the persistent-data library in the previous patch. The main highlight of this implementation, compared to the previous implementation of snapshots, is that it allows many virtual devices to be stored on the same data volume, simplifying administration and allowing sharing of data between volumes (thus reducing disk usage). Another big feature is support for arbitrary depth of recursive snapshots (snapshots of snapshots of snapshots ...). The previous implementation of snapshots did this by chaining together lookup tables, and so performance was O(depth).

dm thin: ensure user takes action to validate data and metadata consistency If a thin metadata operation fails the current transaction will abort, whereby causing potential for IO layers up the stack (e.g. filesystems) to have data loss. As such, set THIN_METADATA_NEEDS_CHECK_FLAG in the thin metadata's superblock which: 1) requires the user verify the thin metadata is consistent (e.g. use thin_check, etc) 2) suggests the user verify the thin data is consistent (e.g. use fsck) The only way to clear the superblock's THIN_METADATA_NEEDS_CHECK_FLAG is to run thin_repair. On metadata operation failure: abort current metadata transaction, set pool in read-only mode, and now set the needs_check flag. As part of this change, constraints are introduced or relaxed: * don't allow a pool to transition to write mode if needs_check is set * don't allow data or metadata space to be resized if needs_check is set * if a thin pool's metadata space is exhausted: the kernel will now force the user to take the pool offline for repair before the kernel will allow the metadata space to be extended. Also, update Documentation to include information about when the thin provisioning target commits metadata, how it handles metadata failures and running out of space.

dm thin: fix table output when pool target disables discard passdown internally When the thin pool target clears the discard_passdown parameter internally, it incorrectly changes the table line reported to userspace. This breaks dumb string comparisons on these table lines in generic userspace device-mapper library code and leads to tables being reloaded repeatedly when nothing is actually meant to be changing. This patch corrects this by no longer changing the table line when discard passdown was disabled. We can still tell when discard passdown is overridden by looking for the message "Discard unsupported by data device (sdX): Disabling discard passdown." This automatic detection is also moved from the 'load' to the 'resume' so that it is re-evaluated should the properties of underlying devices change.

dm thin: optimize power of two block size 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 kcopyd: introduce configurable throttling This patch allows the administrator to reduce the rate at which kcopyd issues I/O. Each module that uses kcopyd acquires a throttle parameter that can be set in /sys/module/*/parameters. We maintain a history of kcopyd usage by each module in the variables io_period and total_period in struct dm_kcopyd_throttle. The actual kcopyd activity is calculated as a percentage of time equal to "(100 * io_period / total_period)". This is compared with the user-defined throttle percentage threshold and if it is exceeded, we sleep.

dm thin: throttle incoming IO Throttle IO based on the time it's taking the worker to do one loop. There were reports of hung task timeouts occuring and it was observed that the excessively long avgqu-sz (as reported by iostat) was contributing to these hung tasks. Throttling definitely helps dm-thinp perform better under heavy IO load (without being detremental by being overzealous). It reduces avgqu-sz drastically, e.g.: from 60K to ~6K, and even as low as 150 once metadata is cached by bufio, when dirty_ratio=5, dirty_background_ratio=2. And avgqu-sz stays at or below 30K even with dirty_ratio=20, dirty_background_ratio=10. Signed-off-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

dm thin: add timeout to stop out-of-data-space mode holding IO forever If the pool runs out of data space, dm-thin can be configured to either error IOs that would trigger provisioning, or hold those IOs until the pool is resized. Unfortunately, holding IOs until the pool is resized can result in a cascade of tasks hitting the hung_task_timeout, which may render the system unavailable. Add a fixed timeout so IOs can only be held for a maximum of 60 seconds. If LVM is going to resize a thin-pool that is out of data space it needs to be prompt about it.

dm thin: allow metadata space larger than supported to go unused It was always intended that a user could provide a thin metadata device that is larger than the max supported by the on-disk format. The extra space would just go unused. Unfortunately that never worked. If the user attempted to use a larger metadata device on creation they would get an error like the following: device-mapper: space map common: space map too large device-mapper: transaction manager: couldn't create metadata space map device-mapper: thin metadata: tm_create_with_sm failed device-mapper: table: 252:17: thin-pool: Error creating metadata object device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table Fix this by allowing the initial metadata space map creation to cap its size at the max number of blocks supported (DM_SM_METADATA_MAX_BLOCKS). get_metadata_dev_size() must also impose DM_SM_METADATA_MAX_BLOCKS (via THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS), otherwise extending metadata would cap at THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS_WARNING (which is larger than supported). Also, the calculation for THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS didn't account for the sizeof the disk_bitmap_header. So the supported maximum metadata size is a bit smaller (reduced from 33423360 to 33292800 sectors). Lastly, remove the "excess space will not be used" warning message from get_metadata_dev_size(); it resulted in printing the warning multiple times.

dm thin: allow metadata space larger than supported to go unused It was always intended that a user could provide a thin metadata device that is larger than the max supported by the on-disk format. The extra space would just go unused. Unfortunately that never worked. If the user attempted to use a larger metadata device on creation they would get an error like the following: device-mapper: space map common: space map too large device-mapper: transaction manager: couldn't create metadata space map device-mapper: thin metadata: tm_create_with_sm failed device-mapper: table: 252:17: thin-pool: Error creating metadata object device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table Fix this by allowing the initial metadata space map creation to cap its size at the max number of blocks supported (DM_SM_METADATA_MAX_BLOCKS). get_metadata_dev_size() must also impose DM_SM_METADATA_MAX_BLOCKS (via THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS), otherwise extending metadata would cap at THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS_WARNING (which is larger than supported). Also, the calculation for THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS didn't account for the sizeof the disk_bitmap_header. So the supported maximum metadata size is a bit smaller (reduced from 33423360 to 33292800 sectors). Lastly, remove the "excess space will not be used" warning message from get_metadata_dev_size(); it resulted in printing the warning multiple times. Factor out warn_if_metadata_device_too_big(), call it from pool_ctr() and maybe_resize_metadata_dev(). Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Acked-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com>

dm thin: support for non power of 2 pool blocksize 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.

dm thin: fix discard support for data devices The discard limits that get established for a thin-pool or thin device may be incompatible with the pool's data device. Avoid this by checking the discard limits of the pool's data device. If an incompatibility is found then the pool's 'discard passdown' feature is disabled. Change thin_io_hints to ensure that a thin device always uses the same queue limits as its pool device. Introduce requested_pf to track whether or not the table line originally contained the no_discard_passdown flag and use this directly for table output. We prepare the correct setting for discard_passdown directly in bind_control_target (called from pool_io_hints) and store it in adjusted_pf rather than waiting until we have access to pool->pf in pool_preresume.

As such, set THIN_METADATA_NEEDS_CHECK_FLAG in the thin metadata's superblock which: 1) requires the user verify the thin metadata is consistent (e.g. use thin_check, etc) 2) suggests the user verify the thin data is consistent (e.g. use fsck) The only way to clear the superblock's THIN_METADATA_NEEDS_CHECK_FLAG is to run thin_repair. On metadata operation failure: abort current metadata transaction, set pool in read-only mode, and now set the needs_check flag. As part of this change, constraints are introduced or relaxed: * don't allow a pool to transition to write mode if needs_check is set * don't allow data or metadata space to be resized if needs_check is set * if a thin pool's metadata space is exhausted: the kernel will now force the user to take the pool offline for repair before the kernel will allow the metadata space to be extended.

dm thin: allow metadata space larger than supported to go unused It was always intended that a user could provide a thin metadata device that is larger than the max supported by the on-disk format. The extra space would just go unused. Unfortunately that never worked. If the user attempted to use a larger metadata device on creation they would get an error like the following: device-mapper: space map common: space map too large device-mapper: transaction manager: couldn't create metadata space map device-mapper: thin metadata: tm_create_with_sm failed device-mapper: table: 252:17: thin-pool: Error creating metadata object device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table Fix this by allowing the initial metadata space map creation to cap its size at the max number of blocks supported (DM_SM_METADATA_MAX_BLOCKS). get_metadata_dev_size() must also impose DM_SM_METADATA_MAX_BLOCKS (via THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS), otherwise extending metadata would cap at THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS_WARNING (which is larger than supported). Also, the calculation for THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS didn't account for the sizeof the disk_bitmap_header. So the supported maximum metadata size is a bit smaller (reduced from 33423360 to 33292800 sectors). Lastly, remove the "excess space will not be used" warning message from get_metadata_dev_size(); it resulted in printing the warning multiple times. Factor out warn_if_metadata_device_too_big(), call it from pool_ctr() and maybe_resize_metadata_dev(). Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Acked-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com>

dm: add thin provisioning target Initial EXPERIMENTAL implementation of device-mapper thin provisioning with snapshot support. The 'thin' target is used to create instances of the virtual devices that are hosted in the 'thin-pool' target. The thin-pool target provides data sharing among devices. This sharing is made possible using the persistent-data library in the previous patch. The main highlight of this implementation, compared to the previous implementation of snapshots, is that it allows many virtual devices to be stored on the same data volume, simplifying administration and allowing sharing of data between volumes (thus reducing disk usage). Another big feature is support for arbitrary depth of recursive snapshots (snapshots of snapshots of snapshots ...). The previous implementation of snapshots did this by chaining together lookup tables, and so performance was O(depth).

dm thin: fix race condition when destroying thin pool workqueue commit 18d03e8c25f173f4107a40d0b8c24defb6ed69f3 upstream. When a thin pool is being destroyed delayed work items are cancelled using cancel_delayed_work(), which doesn't guarantee that on return the delayed item isn't running. This can cause the work item to requeue itself on an already destroyed workqueue. Fix this by using cancel_delayed_work_sync() which guarantees that on return the work item is not running anymore.

dm thin: provide userspace access to pool metadata This patch implements two new messages that can be sent to the thin pool target allowing it to take a snapshot of the _metadata_. This, read-only snapshot can be accessed by userland, concurrently with the live target. Only one metadata snapshot can be held at a time. The pool's status line will give the block location for the current msnap. Since version 0.1.5 of the userland thin provisioning tools, the thin_dump program displays the msnap as follows: thin_dump -m <msnap root> <metadata dev> Available here: https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools Now that userland can access the metadata we can do various things that have traditionally been kernel side tasks: i) Incremental backups. By using metadata snapshots we can work out what blocks have changed over time. Combined with data snapshots we can ensure the data doesn't change while we back it up. A short proof of concept script can be found here: https://github.com/jthornber/thinp-test-suite/blob/master/incremental_backup_example.rb ii) Migration of thin devices from one pool to another. iii) Merging snapshots back into an external origin. iv) Asyncronous replication.

dm thin: commit metadata before creating metadata snapshot Userland sometimes sees a corrupt metadata block if metadata is changing rapidly when a metadata snapshot is reserved for userland, To make the problem go away, commit before we take the metadata snapshot (which is a sensible thing to do anyway). The checksums mean userland spots this corruption immediately so there's no risk of acting on incorrect data. No corruption exists from the kernel's point of view, and thin_check passes after pool shutdown. I believe this is to do with shared blocks at the first level of the {device, mapping} btree. Prior to the metadata-snap support no sharing at this level was possible, so this patch is only required after commit cc8394d86f045b86ff303d3c9e4ce47d97148951 ("dm thin: provide userspace access to pool metadata").

dm: fix truncated status strings Avoid returning a truncated table or status string instead of setting the DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG when the last target of a table fills the buffer. When processing a table or status request, the function retrieve_status calls ti->type->status. If ti->type->status returns non-zero, retrieve_status assumes that the buffer overflowed and sets DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG. However, targets don't return non-zero values from their status method on overflow. Most targets returns always zero. If a buffer overflow happens in a target that is not the last in the table, it gets noticed during the next iteration of the loop in retrieve_status; but if a buffer overflow happens in the last target, it goes unnoticed and erroneously truncated data is returned. In the current code, the targets behave in the following way: * dm-crypt returns -ENOMEM if there is not enough space to store the key, but it returns 0 on all other overflows. * dm-thin returns errors from the status method if a disk error happened. This is incorrect because retrieve_status doesn't check the error code, it assumes that all non-zero values mean buffer overflow. * all the other targets always return 0. This patch changes the ti->type->status function to return void (because most targets don't use the return code). Overflow is detected in retrieve_status: if the status method fills up the remaining space completely, it is assumed that buffer overflow happened.

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".

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.

dm: fix truncated status strings Avoid returning a truncated table or status string instead of setting the DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG when the last target of a table fills the buffer. When processing a table or status request, the function retrieve_status calls ti->type->status. If ti->type->status returns non-zero, retrieve_status assumes that the buffer overflowed and sets DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG. However, targets don't return non-zero values from their status method on overflow. Most targets returns always zero. If a buffer overflow happens in a target that is not the last in the table, it gets noticed during the next iteration of the loop in retrieve_status; but if a buffer overflow happens in the last target, it goes unnoticed and erroneously truncated data is returned. In the current code, the targets behave in the following way: * dm-crypt returns -ENOMEM if there is not enough space to store the key, but it returns 0 on all other overflows. * dm-thin returns errors from the status method if a disk error happened. This is incorrect because retrieve_status doesn't check the error code, it assumes that all non-zero values mean buffer overflow. * all the other targets always return 0. This patch changes the ti->type->status function to return void (because most targets don't use the return code). Overflow is detected in retrieve_status: if the status method fills up the remaining space completely, it is assumed that buffer overflow happened.

dm thin: provide userspace access to pool metadata This patch implements two new messages that can be sent to the thin pool target allowing it to take a snapshot of the _metadata_. This, read-only snapshot can be accessed by userland, concurrently with the live target. Only one metadata snapshot can be held at a time. The pool's status line will give the block location for the current msnap. Since version 0.1.5 of the userland thin provisioning tools, the thin_dump program displays the msnap as follows: thin_dump -m <msnap root> <metadata dev> Available here: https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools Now that userland can access the metadata we can do various things that have traditionally been kernel side tasks: i) Incremental backups. By using metadata snapshots we can work out what blocks have changed over time. Combined with data snapshots we can ensure the data doesn't change while we back it up. A short proof of concept script can be found here: https://github.com/jthornber/thinp-test-suite/blob/master/incremental_backup_example.rb ii) Migration of thin devices from one pool to another. iii) Merging snapshots back into an external origin. iv) Asyncronous replication.

dm thin: fix out of data space handling Ideally a thin pool would never run out of data space; the low water mark would trigger userland to extend the pool before we completely run out of space. However, many small random IOs to unprovisioned space can consume data space at an alarming rate. Adjust your low water mark if you're frequently seeing "out-of-data-space" mode. Before this fix, if data space ran out the pool would be put in PM_READ_ONLY mode which also aborted the pool's current metadata transaction (data loss for any changes in the transaction). This had a side-effect of needlessly compromising data consistency. And retry of queued unserviceable bios, once the data pool was resized, could initiate changes to potentially inconsistent pool metadata. Now when the pool's data space is exhausted transition to a new pool mode (PM_OUT_OF_DATA_SPACE) that allows metadata to be changed but data may not be allocated. This allows users to remove thin volumes or discard data to recover data space. The pool is no longer put in PM_READ_ONLY mode in response to the pool running out of data space. And PM_READ_ONLY mode no longer aborts the pool's current metadata transaction. Also, set_pool_mode() will now notify userspace when the pool mode is changed.

dm: fix truncated status strings Avoid returning a truncated table or status string instead of setting the DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG when the last target of a table fills the buffer. When processing a table or status request, the function retrieve_status calls ti->type->status. If ti->type->status returns non-zero, retrieve_status assumes that the buffer overflowed and sets DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG. However, targets don't return non-zero values from their status method on overflow. Most targets returns always zero. If a buffer overflow happens in a target that is not the last in the table, it gets noticed during the next iteration of the loop in retrieve_status; but if a buffer overflow happens in the last target, it goes unnoticed and erroneously truncated data is returned. In the current code, the targets behave in the following way: * dm-crypt returns -ENOMEM if there is not enough space to store the key, but it returns 0 on all other overflows. * dm-thin returns errors from the status method if a disk error happened. This is incorrect because retrieve_status doesn't check the error code, it assumes that all non-zero values mean buffer overflow. * all the other targets always return 0. This patch changes the ti->type->status function to return void (because most targets don't use the return code). Overflow is detected in retrieve_status: if the status method fills up the remaining space completely, it is assumed that buffer overflow happened.

dm thin: fix pool_io_hints to avoid looking at max_hw_sectors Simplify the pool_io_hints code that works to establish a max_sectors value that is a power-of-2 factor of the thin-pool's blocksize. The biggest associated improvement is that the DM thin-pool is no longer concerning itself with the data device's max_hw_sectors when adjusting max_sectors. This fixes the relative fragility of the original "dm thin: adjust max_sectors_kb based on thinp blocksize" commit that only became apparent when testing was performed using a DM thin-pool ontop of a virtio_blk device. One proposed upstream patch detailed the problems inherent in virtio_blk: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/11/20/611 So even though virtio_blk incorrectly set its max_hw_sectors it actually helped make it clear that we need DM thinp to be tolerant of any future Linux driver that incorrectly sets max_hw_sectors. We only need to be concerned with modifying the thin-pool device's max_sectors limit if it is smaller than the thin-pool's blocksize. In this case the value of max_sectors does become a limiting factor when upper layers (e.g. filesystems) construct their bios. But if the hardware can support IOs larger than the thin-pool's blocksize the user is encouraged to adjust the thin-pool's data device's max_sectors accordingly -- doing so will enable the thin-pool to inherit the established user-defined max_sectors.

dm thin: range discard support Previously REQ_DISCARD bios have been split into block sized chunks before submission to the thin target. There are a couple of issues with this: - If the block size is small, a large discard request can get broken up into a great many bios which is both slow and causes a lot of memory pressure. - The thin pool block size and the discard granularity for the underlying data device need to be compatible if we want to passdown the discard. This patch relaxes the block size granularity for thin devices. It makes use of the recent range locking added to the bio_prison to quiesce a whole range of thin blocks before unmapping them. Once a thin range has been unmapped the discard can then be passed down to the data device for those sub ranges where the data blocks are no longer used (ie. they weren't shared in the first place). This patch also doesn't make any apologies about open-coding portions of block core as a means to supporting async discard completions in the near-term -- if/when late bio splitting lands it'll all get cleaned up.

To fix: - Introduce a refcount and completion field to each thin_c - Add thin_get/put methods for adjusting the refcount. If the refcount hits zero then the completion is triggered. - Initialise refcount to 1 when creating thin_c - When iterating the active_thins list we thin_get() whilst the rcu lock is held. - After the rcu lock is dropped we process the deferred bios for that thin. - When destroying a thin_c we thin_put() and then wait for the completion -- to avoid a race between the worker thread iterating from that thin_c and destroying the thin_c.

dm thin: sort the per thin deferred bios using an rb_tree A thin-pool will allocate blocks using FIFO order for all thin devices which share the thin-pool. Because of this simplistic allocation the thin-pool's space can become fragmented quite easily; especially when multiple threads are requesting blocks in parallel. Sort each thin device's deferred_bio_list based on logical sector to help reduce fragmentation of the thin-pool's ondisk layout. The following tables illustrate the realized gains/potential offered by sorting each thin device's deferred_bio_list. An "io size"-sized random read of the device would result in "seeks/io" fragments being read, with an average "distance/seek" between each fragment. Data was written to a single thin device using multiple threads via iozone (8 threads, 64K for both the block_size and io_size). unsorted: io size seeks/io distance/seek -------------------------------------- 4k 0.000 0b 16k 0.013 11m 64k 0.065 11m 256k 0.274 10m 1m 1.109 10m 4m 4.411 10m 16m 17.097 11m 64m 60.055 13m 256m 148.798 25m 1g 809.929 21m sorted: io size seeks/io distance/seek -------------------------------------- 4k 0.000 0b 16k 0.000 1g 64k 0.001 1g 256k 0.003 1g 1m 0.011 1g 4m 0.045 1g 16m 0.181 1g 64m 0.747 1011m 256m 3.299 1g 1g 14.373 1g Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Acked-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com>

dm: add thin provisioning target Initial EXPERIMENTAL implementation of device-mapper thin provisioning with snapshot support. The 'thin' target is used to create instances of the virtual devices that are hosted in the 'thin-pool' target. The thin-pool target provides data sharing among devices. This sharing is made possible using the persistent-data library in the previous patch. The main highlight of this implementation, compared to the previous implementation of snapshots, is that it allows many virtual devices to be stored on the same data volume, simplifying administration and allowing sharing of data between volumes (thus reducing disk usage). Another big feature is support for arbitrary depth of recursive snapshots (snapshots of snapshots of snapshots ...). The previous implementation of snapshots did this by chaining together lookup tables, and so performance was O(depth). This new implementation uses a single data structure so we don't get this degradation with depth.

dm thin: do not expose non-zero discard limits if discards disabled 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).

dm thin: range discard support Previously REQ_DISCARD bios have been split into block sized chunks before submission to the thin target. There are a couple of issues with this: - If the block size is small, a large discard request can get broken up into a great many bios which is both slow and causes a lot of memory pressure. - The thin pool block size and the discard granularity for the underlying data device need to be compatible if we want to passdown the discard. This patch relaxes the block size granularity for thin devices. It makes use of the recent range locking added to the bio_prison to quiesce a whole range of thin blocks before unmapping them. Once a thin range has been unmapped the discard can then be passed down to the data device for those sub ranges where the data blocks are no longer used (ie. they weren't shared in the first place). This patch also doesn't make any apologies about open-coding portions of block core as a means to supporting async discard completions in the near-term -- if/when late bio splitting lands it'll all get cleaned up.

dm thin: range discard support Previously REQ_DISCARD bios have been split into block sized chunks before submission to the thin target. There are a couple of issues with this: - If the block size is small, a large discard request can get broken up into a great many bios which is both slow and causes a lot of memory pressure. - The thin pool block size and the discard granularity for the underlying data device need to be compatible if we want to passdown the discard. This patch relaxes the block size granularity for thin devices. It makes use of the recent range locking added to the bio_prison to quiesce a whole range of thin blocks before unmapping them. Once a thin range has been unmapped the discard can then be passed down to the data device for those sub ranges where the data blocks are no longer used (ie. they weren't shared in the first place). This patch also doesn't make any apologies about open-coding portions of block core as a means to supporting async discard completions in the near-term -- if/when late bio splitting lands it'll all get cleaned up.

dm: fix truncated status strings Avoid returning a truncated table or status string instead of setting the DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG when the last target of a table fills the buffer. When processing a table or status request, the function retrieve_status calls ti->type->status. If ti->type->status returns non-zero, retrieve_status assumes that the buffer overflowed and sets DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG. However, targets don't return non-zero values from their status method on overflow. Most targets returns always zero. If a buffer overflow happens in a target that is not the last in the table, it gets noticed during the next iteration of the loop in retrieve_status; but if a buffer overflow happens in the last target, it goes unnoticed and erroneously truncated data is returned. In the current code, the targets behave in the following way: * dm-crypt returns -ENOMEM if there is not enough space to store the key, but it returns 0 on all other overflows. * dm-thin returns errors from the status method if a disk error happened. This is incorrect because retrieve_status doesn't check the error code, it assumes that all non-zero values mean buffer overflow. * all the other targets always return 0. This patch changes the ti->type->status function to return void (because most targets don't use the return code).

dm thin: support read only external snapshot origins Support the use of an external _read only_ device as an origin for a thin device. Any read to an unprovisioned area of the thin device will be passed through to the origin. Writes trigger allocation of new blocks as usual. One possible use case for this would be VM hosts that want to run guests on thinly-provisioned volumes but have the base image on another device (possibly shared between many VMs).

dm: add thin provisioning target Initial EXPERIMENTAL implementation of device-mapper thin provisioning with snapshot support. The 'thin' target is used to create instances of the virtual devices that are hosted in the 'thin-pool' target. The thin-pool target provides data sharing among devices. This sharing is made possible using the persistent-data library in the previous patch. The main highlight of this implementation, compared to the previous implementation of snapshots, is that it allows many virtual devices to be stored on the same data volume, simplifying administration and allowing sharing of data between volumes (thus reducing disk usage).

dm: fix truncated status strings Avoid returning a truncated table or status string instead of setting the DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG when the last target of a table fills the buffer. When processing a table or status request, the function retrieve_status calls ti->type->status. If ti->type->status returns non-zero, retrieve_status assumes that the buffer overflowed and sets DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG. However, targets don't return non-zero values from their status method on overflow. Most targets returns always zero. If a buffer overflow happens in a target that is not the last in the table, it gets noticed during the next iteration of the loop in retrieve_status; but if a buffer overflow happens in the last target, it goes unnoticed and erroneously truncated data is returned. In the current code, the targets behave in the following way: * dm-crypt returns -ENOMEM if there is not enough space to store the key, but it returns 0 on all other overflows. * dm-thin returns errors from the status method if a disk error happened. This is incorrect because retrieve_status doesn't check the error code, it assumes that all non-zero values mean buffer overflow. * all the other targets always return 0. This patch changes the ti->type->status function to return void (because most targets don't use the return code). Overflow is detected in retrieve_status: if the status method fills up the remaining space completely, it is assumed that buffer overflow happened.

dm thin: range discard support Previously REQ_DISCARD bios have been split into block sized chunks before submission to the thin target. There are a couple of issues with this: - If the block size is small, a large discard request can get broken up into a great many bios which is both slow and causes a lot of memory pressure. - The thin pool block size and the discard granularity for the underlying data device need to be compatible if we want to passdown the discard. This patch relaxes the block size granularity for thin devices. It makes use of the recent range locking added to the bio_prison to quiesce a whole range of thin blocks before unmapping them. Once a thin range has been unmapped the discard can then be passed down to the data device for those sub ranges where the data blocks are no longer used (ie. they weren't shared in the first place). This patch also doesn't make any apologies about open-coding portions of block core as a means to supporting async discard completions in the near-term -- if/when late bio splitting lands it'll all get cleaned up.

dm thin: fix regression in advertised discard limits When establishing a thin device's discard limits we cannot rely on the underlying thin-pool device's discard capabilities (which are inherited from the thin-pool's underlying data device) given that DM thin devices must provide discard support even when the thin-pool's underlying data device doesn't support discards. Users were exposed to this thin device discard limits regression if their thin-pool's underlying data device does _not_ support discards. This regression caused all upper-layers that called the blkdev_issue_discard() interface to not be able to issue discards to thin devices (because discard_granularity was 0). This regression wasn't caught earlier because the device-mapper-test-suite's extensive 'thin-provisioning' discard tests are only ever performed against thin-pool's with data devices that support discards. Fix is to have thin_io_hints() test the pool's 'discard_enabled' feature rather than inferring whether or not a thin device's discard support should be enabled by looking at the thin-pool's discard_granularity.

dm thin: add 'no_space_timeout' dm-thin-pool module param Commit 85ad643b ("dm thin: add timeout to stop out-of-data-space mode holding IO forever") introduced a fixed 60 second timeout. Users may want to either disable or modify this timeout. Allow the out-of-data-space timeout to be configured using the 'no_space_timeout' dm-thin-pool module param. Setting it to 0 will disable the timeout, resulting in IO being queued until more data space is added to the thin-pool.

dm: add thin provisioning target Initial EXPERIMENTAL implementation of device-mapper thin provisioning with snapshot support. The 'thin' target is used to create instances of the virtual devices that are hosted in the 'thin-pool' target. The thin-pool target provides data sharing among devices. This sharing is made possible using the persistent-data library in the previous patch. The main highlight of this implementation, compared to the previous implementation of snapshots, is that it allows many virtual devices to be stored on the same data volume, simplifying administration and allowing sharing of data between volumes (thus reducing disk usage). Another big feature is support for arbitrary depth of recursive snapshots (snapshots of snapshots of snapshots ...). The previous implementation of snapshots did this by chaining together lookup tables, and so performance was O(depth). This new implementation uses a single data structure so we don't get this degradation with depth.
