dm snapshot: suspend origin when doing exception handover In the function snapshot_resume we perform exception store handover. If there is another active snapshot target, the exception store is moved from this target to the target that is being resumed. The problem is that if there is some pending exception, it will point to an incorrect exception store after that handover, causing a crash due to dm-snap-persistent.c:get_exception()'s BUG_ON. This bug can be triggered by repeatedly changing snapshot permissions with "lvchange -p r" and "lvchange -p rw" while there are writes on the associated origin device. To fix this bug, we must suspend the origin device when doing the exception store handover to make sure that there are no pending exceptions: - introduce _origin_hash that keeps track of dm_origin structures. - introduce functions __lookup_dm_origin, __insert_dm_origin and __remove_dm_origin that manipulate the origin hash. - modify snapshot_resume so that it calls dm_internal_suspend_fast() and dm_internal_resume_fast() on the origin device. NOTE to stable@ people: When backporting to kernels 3.12-3.18, use dm_internal_suspend and dm_internal_resume instead of dm_internal_suspend_fast and dm_internal_resume_fast. When backporting to kernels older than 3.12, you need to pick functions dm_internal_suspend and dm_internal_resume from the commit fd2ed4d252701d3bbed4cd3e3d267ad469bb832a.

dm snapshot: Use fine-grained locking scheme Substitute the global locking scheme with a fine grained one, employing the read-write semaphore and the scalable exception tables with per-bucket locks introduced by the previous two commits. Summarizing, we now use a read-write semaphore to protect the mostly read fields of the snapshot structure, e.g., valid, active, etc., and per-bucket bit spinlocks to protect accesses to the complete and pending exception tables. Finally, we use an extra spinlock (pe_allocation_lock) to serialize the allocation of new exceptions by the exception store. This allocation is really fast, so the extra spinlock doesn't hurt the performance. This scheme allows dm-snapshot to scale better, resulting in increased IOPS and reduced latency.

dm snapshot: avoid snapshot space leak on crash There is a possible leak of snapshot space in case of crash. The reason for space leaking is that chunks in the snapshot device are allocated sequentially, but they are finished (and stored in the metadata) out of order, depending on the order in which copying finished. For example, supposed that the metadata contains the following records SUPERBLOCK METADATA (blocks 0 ... 250) DATA 0 DATA 1 DATA 2 ... DATA 250 Now suppose that you allocate 10 new data blocks 251-260. Suppose that copying of these blocks finish out of order (block 260 finished first and the block 251 finished last). Now, the snapshot device looks like this: SUPERBLOCK METADATA (blocks 0 ... 250, 260, 259, 258, 257, 256) DATA 0 DATA 1 DATA 2 ... DATA 250 DATA 251 DATA 252 DATA 253 DATA 254 DATA 255 METADATA (blocks 255, 254, 253, 252, 251) DATA 256 DATA 257 DATA 258 DATA 259 DATA 260 Now, if the machine crashes after writing the first metadata block but before writing the second metadata block, the space for areas DATA 250-255 is leaked, it contains no valid data and it will never be used in the future. This patch makes dm-snapshot complete exceptions in the same order they were allocated, thus fixing this bug. Note: when backporting this patch to the stable kernel, change the version field in the following way: * if version in the stable kernel is {1, 11, 1}, change it to {1, 12, 0} * if version in the stable kernel is {1, 10, 0} or {1, 10, 1}, change it to {1, 10, 2} Userspace reads the version to determine if the bug was fixed, so the version change is needed.

dm snapshot: rework COW throttling to fix deadlock Commit 721b1d98fb517a ("dm snapshot: Fix excessive memory usage and workqueue stalls") introduced a semaphore to limit the maximum number of in-flight kcopyd (COW) jobs. The implementation of this throttling mechanism is prone to a deadlock: 1. One or more threads write to the origin device causing COW, which is performed by kcopyd. 2. At some point some of these threads might reach the s->cow_count semaphore limit and block in down(&s->cow_count), holding a read lock on _origins_lock. 3. Someone tries to acquire a write lock on _origins_lock, e.g., snapshot_ctr(), which blocks because the threads at step (2) already hold a read lock on it. 4. A COW operation completes and kcopyd runs dm-snapshot's completion callback, which ends up calling pending_complete(). pending_complete() tries to resubmit any deferred origin bios. This requires acquiring a read lock on _origins_lock, which blocks. This happens because the read-write semaphore implementation gives priority to writers, meaning that as soon as a writer tries to enter the critical section, no readers will be allowed in, until all writers have completed their work. So, pending_complete() waits for the writer at step (3) to acquire and release the lock. This writer waits for the readers at step (2) to release the read lock and those readers wait for pending_complete() (the kcopyd thread) to signal the s->cow_count semaphore: DEADLOCK. The above was thoroughly analyzed and documented by Nikos Tsironis as part of his initial proposal for fixing this deadlock, see: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2019-October/msg00001.html Fix this deadlock by reworking COW throttling so that it waits without holding any locks. Add a variable 'in_progress' that counts how many kcopyd jobs are running. A function wait_for_in_progress() will sleep if 'in_progress' is over the limit. It drops _origins_lock in order to avoid the deadlock.

dm snapshot: Fix excessive memory usage and workqueue stalls kcopyd has no upper limit to the number of jobs one can allocate and issue. Under certain workloads this can lead to excessive memory usage and workqueue stalls. For example, when creating multiple dm-snapshot targets with a 4K chunk size and then writing to the origin through the page cache. Syncing the page cache causes a large number of BIOs to be issued to the dm-snapshot origin target, which itself issues an even larger (because of the BIO splitting taking place) number of kcopyd jobs. Running the following test, from the device mapper test suite [1], dmtest run --suite snapshot -n many_snapshots_of_same_volume_N , with 8 active snapshots, results in the kcopyd job slab cache growing to 10G. Depending on the available system RAM this can lead to the OOM killer killing user processes: [463.492878] kthreadd invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x6040c0(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_COMP), nodemask=(null), order=1, oom_score_adj=0 [463.492894] kthreadd cpuset=/ mems_allowed=0 [463.492948] CPU: 7 PID: 2 Comm: kthreadd Not tainted 4.19.0-rc7 #3 [463.492950] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.10.2-1 04/01/2014 [463.492952] Call Trace: [463.492964] dump_stack+0x7d/0xbb [463.492973] dump_header+0x6b/0x2fc [463.492987] ? lockdep_hardirqs_on+0xee/0x190 [463.493012] oom_kill_process+0x302/0x370 [463.493021] out_of_memory+0x113/0x560 [463.493030] __alloc_pages_slowpath+0xf40/0x1020 [463.493055] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x348/0x3c0 [463.493067] cache_grow_begin+0x81/0x8b0 [463.493072] ? cache_grow_begin+0x874/0x8b0 [463.493078] fallback_alloc+0x1e4/0x280 [463.493092] kmem_cache_alloc_node+0xd6/0x370 [463.493098] ? copy_process.part.31+0x1c5/0x20d0 [463.493105] copy_process.part.31+0x1c5/0x20d0 [463.493115] ? __lock_acquire+0x3cc/0x1550 [463.493121] ? __switch_to_asm+0x34/0x70 [463.493129] ? kthread_create_worker_on_cpu+0x70/0x70 [463.493135] ? finish_task_switch+0x90/0x280 [463.493165] _do_fork+0xe0/0x6d0 [463.493191] ? kthreadd+0x19f/0x220 [463.493233] kernel_thread+0x25/0x30 [463.493235] kthreadd+0x1bf/0x220 [463.493242] ? kthread_create_on_cpu+0x90/0x90 [463.493248] ret_from_fork+0x3a/0x50 [463.493279] Mem-Info: [463.493285] active_anon:20631 inactive_anon:4831 isolated_anon:0 [463.493285] active_file:80216 inactive_file:80107 isolated_file:435 [463.493285] unevictable:0 dirty:51266 writeback:109372 unstable:0 [463.493285] slab_reclaimable:31191 slab_unreclaimable:3483521 [463.493285] mapped:526 shmem:4903 pagetables:1759 bounce:0 [463.493285] free:33623 free_pcp:2392 free_cma:0 ...

In particular, the lack of an explicit or implicit limit to the maximum number of in-flight COW jobs. The merging path is not affected because it implicitly limits the in-flight kcopyd jobs to one. Fix these issues by using a semaphore to limit the maximum number of in-flight kcopyd jobs. We grab the semaphore before allocating a new kcopyd job in start_copy() and start_full_bio() and release it after the job finishes in copy_callback(). The initial semaphore value is configurable through a module parameter, to allow fine tuning the maximum number of in-flight COW jobs. Setting this parameter to zero initializes the semaphore to INT_MAX. A default value of 2048 maximum in-flight kcopyd jobs was chosen. This value was decided experimentally as a trade-off between memory consumption, stalling the kernel's workqueues and maintaining a high enough throughput. Re-running the aforementioned test: * Workqueue stalls are eliminated * kcopyd's job slab cache uses a maximum of 130MB * The time taken by the test to write to the snapshot-origin target is reduced from 05m20.48s to 03m26.38s [1] https://github.com/jthornber/device-mapper-test-suite Signed-off-by: Nikos Tsironis <ntsironis@arrikto.com> Signed-off-by: Ilias Tsitsimpis <iliastsi@arrikto.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

dm snapshot: add optional discard support features discard_zeroes_cow - a discard issued to the snapshot device that maps to entire chunks to will zero the corresponding exception(s) in the snapshot's exception store. discard_passdown_origin - a discard to the snapshot device is passed down to the snapshot-origin's underlying device. This doesn't cause copy-out to the snapshot exception store because the snapshot-origin target is bypassed. The discard_passdown_origin feature depends on the discard_zeroes_cow feature being enabled. When these 2 features are enabled they allow a temporarily read-only device that has completely exhausted its free space to recover space. To do so dm-snapshot provides temporary buffer to accommodate writes that the temporarily read-only device cannot handle yet. Once the upper layer frees space (e.g. fstrim to XFS) the discards issued to the dm-snapshot target will be issued to underlying read-only device whose free space was exhausted. In addition those discards will also cause zeroes to be written to the snapshot exception store if corresponding exceptions exist. If the underlying origin device provides deduplication for zero blocks then if/when the snapshot is merged backed to the origin those blocks will become unused. Once the origin has gained adequate space, merging the snapshot back to the thinly provisioned device will permit continued use of that device without the temporary space provided by the snapshot.

dm snapshot: rework COW throttling to fix deadlock Commit 721b1d98fb517a ("dm snapshot: Fix excessive memory usage and workqueue stalls") introduced a semaphore to limit the maximum number of in-flight kcopyd (COW) jobs. The implementation of this throttling mechanism is prone to a deadlock: 1. One or more threads write to the origin device causing COW, which is performed by kcopyd. 2. At some point some of these threads might reach the s->cow_count semaphore limit and block in down(&s->cow_count), holding a read lock on _origins_lock. 3. Someone tries to acquire a write lock on _origins_lock, e.g., snapshot_ctr(), which blocks because the threads at step (2) already hold a read lock on it. 4. A COW operation completes and kcopyd runs dm-snapshot's completion callback, which ends up calling pending_complete(). pending_complete() tries to resubmit any deferred origin bios. This requires acquiring a read lock on _origins_lock, which blocks. This happens because the read-write semaphore implementation gives priority to writers, meaning that as soon as a writer tries to enter the critical section, no readers will be allowed in, until all writers have completed their work. So, pending_complete() waits for the writer at step (3) to acquire and release the lock. This writer waits for the readers at step (2) to release the read lock and those readers wait for pending_complete() (the kcopyd thread) to signal the s->cow_count semaphore: DEADLOCK. The above was thoroughly analyzed and documented by Nikos Tsironis as part of his initial proposal for fixing this deadlock, see: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2019-October/msg00001.html Fix this deadlock by reworking COW throttling so that it waits without holding any locks. Add a variable 'in_progress' that counts how many kcopyd jobs are running. A function wait_for_in_progress() will sleep if 'in_progress' is over the limit. It drops _origins_lock in order to avoid the deadlock.

dm snapshot: Fix excessive memory usage and workqueue stalls kcopyd has no upper limit to the number of jobs one can allocate and issue. Under certain workloads this can lead to excessive memory usage and workqueue stalls. For example, when creating multiple dm-snapshot targets with a 4K chunk size and then writing to the origin through the page cache. Syncing the page cache causes a large number of BIOs to be issued to the dm-snapshot origin target, which itself issues an even larger (because of the BIO splitting taking place) number of kcopyd jobs. Running the following test, from the device mapper test suite [1], dmtest run --suite snapshot -n many_snapshots_of_same_volume_N , with 8 active snapshots, results in the kcopyd job slab cache growing to 10G.

dm snapshot: avoid snapshot space leak on crash There is a possible leak of snapshot space in case of crash. The reason for space leaking is that chunks in the snapshot device are allocated sequentially, but they are finished (and stored in the metadata) out of order, depending on the order in which copying finished. For example, supposed that the metadata contains the following records SUPERBLOCK METADATA (blocks 0 ... 250) DATA 0 DATA 1 DATA 2 ... DATA 250 Now suppose that you allocate 10 new data blocks 251-260. Suppose that copying of these blocks finish out of order (block 260 finished first and the block 251 finished last). Now, the snapshot device looks like this: SUPERBLOCK METADATA (blocks 0 ... 250, 260, 259, 258, 257, 256) DATA 0 DATA 1 DATA 2 ... DATA 250 DATA 251 DATA 252 DATA 253 DATA 254 DATA 255 METADATA (blocks 255, 254, 253, 252, 251) DATA 256 DATA 257 DATA 258 DATA 259 DATA 260 Now, if the machine crashes after writing the first metadata block but before writing the second metadata block, the space for areas DATA 250-255 is leaked, it contains no valid data and it will never be used in the future. This patch makes dm-snapshot complete exceptions in the same order they were allocated, thus fixing this bug. Note: when backporting this patch to the stable kernel, change the version field in the following way: * if version in the stable kernel is {1, 11, 1}, change it to {1, 12, 0} * if version in the stable kernel is {1, 10, 0} or {1, 10, 1}, change it to {1, 10, 2} Userspace reads the version to determine if the bug was fixed, so the version change is needed.

hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member) The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter: hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually. The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here: @@ iterator name hlist_for_each_entry, hlist_for_each_entry_continue, hlist_for_each_entry_from, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh, for_each_busy_worker, ax25_uid_for_each, ax25_for_each, inet_bind_bucket_for_each, sctp_for_each_hentry, sk_for_each, sk_for_each_rcu, sk_for_each_from, sk_for_each_safe, sk_for_each_bound, hlist_for_each_entry_safe, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu, nr_neigh_for_each, nr_neigh_for_each_safe, nr_node_for_each, nr_node_for_each_safe, for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp, for_each_gfn_sp, for_each_host; type T; expression a,c,d,e; identifier b; statement S; @@ -T b; <+... when != b ( hlist_for_each_entry(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_from(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh(a, - b, c) S | for_each_busy_worker(a, c, - b, d) S | ax25_uid_for_each(a, - b, c) S | ax25_for_each(a, - b, c) S | inet_bind_bucket_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sctp_for_each_hentry(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_rcu(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_from -(a, b) +(a) S + sk_for_each_from(a) S | sk_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | sk_for_each_bound(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_safe(a, - b, c, d, e) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | nr_node_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_node_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d) S | for_each_host(a, - b, c) S | for_each_host_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | for_each_mesh_entry(a, - b, c, d) S ) ...+> [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus change from net/ipv4/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus hunk from net/ipv6/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix warnings] [akpm@linux-foudnation.org: redo intrusive kvm changes] Tested-by: Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@gmail.com> Acked-by: Paul E.

dm snapshot: suspend origin when doing exception handover In the function snapshot_resume we perform exception store handover. If there is another active snapshot target, the exception store is moved from this target to the target that is being resumed. The problem is that if there is some pending exception, it will point to an incorrect exception store after that handover, causing a crash due to dm-snap-persistent.c:get_exception()'s BUG_ON. This bug can be triggered by repeatedly changing snapshot permissions with "lvchange -p r" and "lvchange -p rw" while there are writes on the associated origin device. To fix this bug, we must suspend the origin device when doing the exception store handover to make sure that there are no pending exceptions: - introduce _origin_hash that keeps track of dm_origin structures. - introduce functions __lookup_dm_origin, __insert_dm_origin and __remove_dm_origin that manipulate the origin hash. - modify snapshot_resume so that it calls dm_internal_suspend_fast() and dm_internal_resume_fast() on the origin device. NOTE to stable@ people: When backporting to kernels 3.12-3.18, use dm_internal_suspend and dm_internal_resume instead of dm_internal_suspend_fast and dm_internal_resume_fast. When backporting to kernels older than 3.12, you need to pick functions dm_internal_suspend and dm_internal_resume from the commit fd2ed4d252701d3bbed4cd3e3d267ad469bb832a.

treewide: kmalloc() -> kmalloc_array() The kmalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kmalloc_array(). This patch replaces cases of: kmalloc(a * b, gfp) with: kmalloc_array(a * b, gfp) as well as handling cases of: kmalloc(a * b * c, gfp) with: kmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp) as it's slightly less ugly than: kmalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp) This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like: kmalloc(4 * 1024, gfp) though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

dm snapshot: suspend origin when doing exception handover In the function snapshot_resume we perform exception store handover. If there is another active snapshot target, the exception store is moved from this target to the target that is being resumed. The problem is that if there is some pending exception, it will point to an incorrect exception store after that handover, causing a crash due to dm-snap-persistent.c:get_exception()'s BUG_ON. This bug can be triggered by repeatedly changing snapshot permissions with "lvchange -p r" and "lvchange -p rw" while there are writes on the associated origin device. To fix this bug, we must suspend the origin device when doing the exception store handover to make sure that there are no pending exceptions: - introduce _origin_hash that keeps track of dm_origin structures. - introduce functions __lookup_dm_origin, __insert_dm_origin and __remove_dm_origin that manipulate the origin hash. - modify snapshot_resume so that it calls dm_internal_suspend_fast() and dm_internal_resume_fast() on the origin device. NOTE to stable@ people: When backporting to kernels 3.12-3.18, use dm_internal_suspend and dm_internal_resume instead of dm_internal_suspend_fast and dm_internal_resume_fast. When backporting to kernels older than 3.12, you need to pick functions dm_internal_suspend and dm_internal_resume from the commit fd2ed4d252701d3bbed4cd3e3d267ad469bb832a.

dm snapshot: wait for chunks in destructor If there are several snapshots sharing an origin and one is removed while the origin is being written to, the snapshot's mempool may get deleted while elements are still referenced. Prior to dm-snapshot-use-per-device-mempools.patch the pending exceptions may still have been referenced after the snapshot was destroyed, but this was not a problem because the shared mempool was still there. This patch fixes the problem by tracking the number of mempool elements in use. The scenario: - You have an origin and two snapshots 1 and 2. - Someone writes to the origin. - It creates two exceptions in the snapshots, snapshot 1 will be primary exception, snapshot 2's pending_exception->primary_pe will point to the exception in snapshot 1. - The exceptions are being relocated, relocation of exception 1 finishes (but it's pending_exception is still allocated, because it is referenced by an exception from snapshot 2) - The user lvremoves snapshot 1 --- it calls just suspend (does nothing) and destructor. md->pending is zero (there is no I/O submitted to the snapshot by md layer), so it won't help us. - The destructor waits for kcopyd jobs to finish on snapshot 1 --- but there are none. - The destructor on snapshot 1 cleans up everything. - The relocation of exception on snapshot 2 finishes, it drops reference on primary_pe. This frees its primary_pe pointer. Primary_pe points to pending exception created for snapshot 1. So it frees memory into non-existing mempool.

sched: Remove proliferation of wait_on_bit() action functions The current "wait_on_bit" interface requires an 'action' function to be provided which does the actual waiting. There are over 20 such functions, many of them identical. Most cases can be satisfied by one of just two functions, one which uses io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule(). So: Rename wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock to wait_on_bit_action and wait_on_bit_lock_action to make it explicit that they need an action function. Introduce new wait_on_bit{,_lock} and wait_on_bit{,_lock}_io which are *not* given an action function but implicitly use a standard one. The decision to error-out if a signal is pending is now made based on the 'mode' argument rather than being encoded in the action function. All instances of the old wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock which can use the new version have been changed accordingly and their action functions have been discarded. wait_on_bit{_lock} does not return any specific error code in the event of a signal so the caller must check for non-zero and interpolate their own error code as appropriate. The wait_on_bit() call in __fscache_wait_on_invalidate() was ambiguous as it specified TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE but used fscache_wait_bit_interruptible as an action function. David Howells confirms this should be uniformly "uninterruptible" The main remaining user of wait_on_bit{,_lock}_action is NFS which needs to use a freezer-aware schedule() call. A comment in fs/gfs2/glock.c notes that having multiple 'action' functions is useful as they display differently in the 'wchan' field of 'ps'. (and /proc/$PID/wchan). As the new bit_wait{,_io} functions are tagged "__sched", they will not show up at all, but something higher in the stack. So the distinction will still be visible, only with different function names (gds2_glock_wait versus gfs2_glock_dq_wait in the gfs2/glock.c case). Since first version of this patch (against 3.15) two new action functions appeared, on in NFS and one in CIFS. CIFS also now uses an action function that makes the same freezer aware schedule call as NFS.

dm snapshot: add optional discard support features discard_zeroes_cow - a discard issued to the snapshot device that maps to entire chunks to will zero the corresponding exception(s) in the snapshot's exception store. discard_passdown_origin - a discard to the snapshot device is passed down to the snapshot-origin's underlying device. This doesn't cause copy-out to the snapshot exception store because the snapshot-origin target is bypassed. The discard_passdown_origin feature depends on the discard_zeroes_cow feature being enabled. When these 2 features are enabled they allow a temporarily read-only device that has completely exhausted its free space to recover space. To do so dm-snapshot provides temporary buffer to accommodate writes that the temporarily read-only device cannot handle yet. Once the upper layer frees space (e.g. fstrim to XFS) the discards issued to the dm-snapshot target will be issued to underlying read-only device whose free space was exhausted. In addition those discards will also cause zeroes to be written to the snapshot exception store if corresponding exceptions exist. If the underlying origin device provides deduplication for zero blocks then if/when the snapshot is merged backed to the origin those blocks will become unused. Once the origin has gained adequate space, merging the snapshot back to the thinly provisioned device will permit continued use of that device without the temporary space provided by the snapshot.

dm snapshot: wait for chunks in destructor If there are several snapshots sharing an origin and one is removed while the origin is being written to, the snapshot's mempool may get deleted while elements are still referenced. Prior to dm-snapshot-use-per-device-mempools.patch the pending exceptions may still have been referenced after the snapshot was destroyed, but this was not a problem because the shared mempool was still there. This patch fixes the problem by tracking the number of mempool elements in use. The scenario: - You have an origin and two snapshots 1 and 2. - Someone writes to the origin. - It creates two exceptions in the snapshots, snapshot 1 will be primary exception, snapshot 2's pending_exception->primary_pe will point to the exception in snapshot 1. - The exceptions are being relocated, relocation of exception 1 finishes (but it's pending_exception is still allocated, because it is referenced by an exception from snapshot 2) - The user lvremoves snapshot 1 --- it calls just suspend (does nothing) and destructor. md->pending is zero (there is no I/O submitted to the snapshot by md layer), so it won't help us. - The destructor waits for kcopyd jobs to finish on snapshot 1 --- but there are none. - The destructor on snapshot 1 cleans up everything. - The relocation of exception on snapshot 2 finishes, it drops reference on primary_pe. This frees its primary_pe pointer. Primary_pe points to pending exception created for snapshot 1. So it frees memory into non-existing mempool.

dm snapshot: Use fine-grained locking scheme Substitute the global locking scheme with a fine grained one, employing the read-write semaphore and the scalable exception tables with per-bucket locks introduced by the previous two commits. Summarizing, we now use a read-write semaphore to protect the mostly read fields of the snapshot structure, e.g., valid, active, etc., and per-bucket bit spinlocks to protect accesses to the complete and pending exception tables. Finally, we use an extra spinlock (pe_allocation_lock) to serialize the allocation of new exceptions by the exception store. This allocation is really fast, so the extra spinlock doesn't hurt the performance. This scheme allows dm-snapshot to scale better, resulting in increased IOPS and reduced latency. Following are some benchmark results using the null_blk device: modprobe null_blk gb=1024 bs=512 submit_queues=8 hw_queue_depth=4096 \ queue_mode=2 irqmode=1 completion_nsec=1 nr_devices=1 * Benchmark fio_origin_randwrite_throughput_N, from the device mapper test suite [1] (direct IO, random 4K writes to origin device, IO engine libaio): +--------------+-------------+------------+ | # of workers | IOPS Before | IOPS After | +--------------+-------------+------------+ | 1 | 57708 | 66421 | | 2 | 63415 | 77589 | | 4 | 67276 | 98839 | | 8 | 60564 | 109258 | +--------------+-------------+------------+ * Benchmark fio_origin_randwrite_latency_N, from the device mapper test suite [1] (direct IO, random 4K writes to origin device, IO engine psync): +--------------+-----------------------+----------------------+ | # of workers | Latency (usec) Before | Latency (usec) After | +--------------+-----------------------+----------------------+ | 1 | 16.25 | 13.27 | | 2 | 31.65 | 25.08 | | 4 | 55.28 | 41.08 | | 8 | 121.47 | 74.44 | +--------------+-----------------------+----------------------+ * Benchmark fio_snapshot_randwrite_throughput_N, from the device mapper test suite [1] (direct IO, random 4K writes to snapshot device, IO engine libaio): +--------------+-------------+------------+ | # of workers | IOPS Before | IOPS After | +--------------+-------------+------------+ | 1 | 72593 | 84938 | | 2 | 97379 | 134973 | | 4 | 90610 | 143077 | | 8 | 90537 | 180085 | +--------------+-------------+------------+ * Benchmark fio_snapshot_randwrite_latency_N, from the device mapper test suite [1] (direct IO, random 4K writes to snapshot device, IO engine psync): +--------------+-----------------------+----------------------+ | # of workers | Latency (usec) Before | Latency (usec) After | +--------------+-----------------------+----------------------+ | 1 | 12.53 | 10.6 | | 2 | 19.78 | 14.89 | | 4 | 40.37 | 23.47 | | 8 | 89.32 | 48.48 | +--------------+-----------------------+----------------------+ [1] https://github.com/jthornber/device-mapper-test-suite Co-developed-by: Ilias Tsitsimpis <iliastsi@arrikto.com> Signed-off-by: Nikos Tsironis <ntsironis@arrikto.com> Acked-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

dm snapshot: avoid snapshot space leak on crash There is a possible leak of snapshot space in case of crash. The reason for space leaking is that chunks in the snapshot device are allocated sequentially, but they are finished (and stored in the metadata) out of order, depending on the order in which copying finished. For example, supposed that the metadata contains the following records SUPERBLOCK METADATA (blocks 0 ... 250) DATA 0 DATA 1 DATA 2 ... DATA 250 Now suppose that you allocate 10 new data blocks 251-260. Suppose that copying of these blocks finish out of order (block 260 finished first and the block 251 finished last). Now, the snapshot device looks like this: SUPERBLOCK METADATA (blocks 0 ... 250, 260, 259, 258, 257, 256) DATA 0 DATA 1 DATA 2 ... DATA 250 DATA 251 DATA 252 DATA 253 DATA 254 DATA 255 METADATA (blocks 255, 254, 253, 252, 251) DATA 256 DATA 257 DATA 258 DATA 259 DATA 260 Now, if the machine crashes after writing the first metadata block but before writing the second metadata block, the space for areas DATA 250-255 is leaked, it contains no valid data and it will never be used in the future. This patch makes dm-snapshot complete exceptions in the same order they were allocated, thus fixing this bug. Note: when backporting this patch to the stable kernel, change the version field in the following way: * if version in the stable kernel is {1, 11, 1}, change it to {1, 12, 0} * if version in the stable kernel is {1, 10, 0} or {1, 10, 1}, change it to {1, 10, 2} Userspace reads the version to determine if the bug was fixed, so the version change is needed.

dm snapshot: rework COW throttling to fix deadlock Commit 721b1d98fb517a ("dm snapshot: Fix excessive memory usage and workqueue stalls") introduced a semaphore to limit the maximum number of in-flight kcopyd (COW) jobs. The implementation of this throttling mechanism is prone to a deadlock: 1. One or more threads write to the origin device causing COW, which is performed by kcopyd. 2. At some point some of these threads might reach the s->cow_count semaphore limit and block in down(&s->cow_count), holding a read lock on _origins_lock. 3. Someone tries to acquire a write lock on _origins_lock, e.g., snapshot_ctr(), which blocks because the threads at step (2) already hold a read lock on it. 4. A COW operation completes and kcopyd runs dm-snapshot's completion callback, which ends up calling pending_complete(). pending_complete() tries to resubmit any deferred origin bios. This requires acquiring a read lock on _origins_lock, which blocks. This happens because the read-write semaphore implementation gives priority to writers, meaning that as soon as a writer tries to enter the critical section, no readers will be allowed in, until all writers have completed their work. So, pending_complete() waits for the writer at step (3) to acquire and release the lock. This writer waits for the readers at step (2) to release the read lock and those readers wait for pending_complete() (the kcopyd thread) to signal the s->cow_count semaphore: DEADLOCK. The above was thoroughly analyzed and documented by Nikos Tsironis as part of his initial proposal for fixing this deadlock, see: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2019-October/msg00001.html Fix this deadlock by reworking COW throttling so that it waits without holding any locks. Add a variable 'in_progress' that counts how many kcopyd jobs are running. A function wait_for_in_progress() will sleep if 'in_progress' is over the limit. It drops _origins_lock in order to avoid the deadlock.

dm snapshot: Fix excessive memory usage and workqueue stalls kcopyd has no upper limit to the number of jobs one can allocate and issue. Under certain workloads this can lead to excessive memory usage and workqueue stalls. For example, when creating multiple dm-snapshot targets with a 4K chunk size and then writing to the origin through the page cache. Syncing the page cache causes a large number of BIOs to be issued to the dm-snapshot origin target, which itself issues an even larger (because of the BIO splitting taking place) number of kcopyd jobs. Running the following test, from the device mapper test suite [1], dmtest run --suite snapshot -n many_snapshots_of_same_volume_N , with 8 active snapshots, results in the kcopyd job slab cache growing to 10G. Depending on the available system RAM this can lead to the OOM killer killing user processes: [463.492878] kthreadd invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x6040c0(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_COMP), nodemask=(null), order=1, oom_score_adj=0 [463.492894] kthreadd cpuset=/ mems_allowed=0 [463.492948] CPU: 7 PID: 2 Comm: kthreadd Not tainted 4.19.0-rc7 #3 [463.492950] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.10.2-1 04/01/2014 [463.492952] Call Trace: [463.492964] dump_stack+0x7d/0xbb [463.492973] dump_header+0x6b/0x2fc [463.492987] ? lockdep_hardirqs_on+0xee/0x190 [463.493012] oom_kill_process+0x302/0x370 [463.493021] out_of_memory+0x113/0x560 [463.493030] __alloc_pages_slowpath+0xf40/0x1020 [463.493055] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x348/0x3c0 [463.493067] cache_grow_begin+0x81/0x8b0 [463.493072] ? cache_grow_begin+0x874/0x8b0 [463.493078] fallback_alloc+0x1e4/0x280 [463.493092] kmem_cache_alloc_node+0xd6/0x370 [463.493098] ? copy_process.part.31+0x1c5/0x20d0 [463.493105] copy_process.part.31+0x1c5/0x20d0 [463.493115] ? __lock_acquire+0x3cc/0x1550 [463.493121] ? __switch_to_asm+0x34/0x70 [463.493129] ? kthread_create_worker_on_cpu+0x70/0x70 [463.493135] ? finish_task_switch+0x90/0x280 [463.493165] _do_fork+0xe0/0x6d0 [463.493191] ? kthreadd+0x19f/0x220 [463.493233] kernel_thread+0x25/0x30 [463.493235] kthreadd+0x1bf/0x220 [463.493242] ? kthread_create_on_cpu+0x90/0x90 [463.493248] ret_from_fork+0x3a/0x50 [463.493279] Mem-Info: [463.493285] active_anon:20631 inactive_anon:4831 isolated_anon:0 [463.493285] active_file:80216 inactive_file:80107 isolated_file:435 [463.493285] unevictable:0 dirty:51266 writeback:109372 unstable:0 [463.493285] slab_reclaimable:31191 slab_unreclaimable:3483521 [463.493285] mapped:526 shmem:4903 pagetables:1759 bounce:0 [463.493285] free:33623 free_pcp:2392 free_cma:0 ...

As a result, processing of work items, queued for execution on the same CPU as the currently running kcopyd thread, is stalled for long periods of time, hurting performance.

In particular, the lack of an explicit or implicit limit to the maximum number of in-flight COW jobs. The merging path is not affected because it implicitly limits the in-flight kcopyd jobs to one. Fix these issues by using a semaphore to limit the maximum number of in-flight kcopyd jobs. We grab the semaphore before allocating a new kcopyd job in start_copy() and start_full_bio() and release it after the job finishes in copy_callback(). The initial semaphore value is configurable through a module parameter, to allow fine tuning the maximum number of in-flight COW jobs. Setting this parameter to zero initializes the semaphore to INT_MAX. A default value of 2048 maximum in-flight kcopyd jobs was chosen. This value was decided experimentally as a trade-off between memory consumption, stalling the kernel's workqueues and maintaining a high enough throughput. Re-running the aforementioned test: * Workqueue stalls are eliminated * kcopyd's job slab cache uses a maximum of 130MB * The time taken by the test to write to the snapshot-origin target is reduced from 05m20.48s to 03m26.38s [1] https://github.com/jthornber/device-mapper-test-suite Signed-off-by: Nikos Tsironis <ntsironis@arrikto.com> Signed-off-by: Ilias Tsitsimpis <iliastsi@arrikto.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

dm snapshot: add optional discard support features discard_zeroes_cow - a discard issued to the snapshot device that maps to entire chunks to will zero the corresponding exception(s) in the snapshot's exception store. discard_passdown_origin - a discard to the snapshot device is passed down to the snapshot-origin's underlying device. This doesn't cause copy-out to the snapshot exception store because the snapshot-origin target is bypassed. The discard_passdown_origin feature depends on the discard_zeroes_cow feature being enabled. When these 2 features are enabled they allow a temporarily read-only device that has completely exhausted its free space to recover space. To do so dm-snapshot provides temporary buffer to accommodate writes that the temporarily read-only device cannot handle yet. Once the upper layer frees space (e.g. fstrim to XFS) the discards issued to the dm-snapshot target will be issued to underlying read-only device whose free space was exhausted. In addition those discards will also cause zeroes to be written to the snapshot exception store if corresponding exceptions exist. If the underlying origin device provides deduplication for zero blocks then if/when the snapshot is merged backed to the origin those blocks will become unused. Once the origin has gained adequate space, merging the snapshot back to the thinly provisioned device will permit continued use of that device without the temporary space provided by the snapshot.

dm snapshot: wait for chunks in destructor If there are several snapshots sharing an origin and one is removed while the origin is being written to, the snapshot's mempool may get deleted while elements are still referenced. Prior to dm-snapshot-use-per-device-mempools.patch the pending exceptions may still have been referenced after the snapshot was destroyed, but this was not a problem because the shared mempool was still there. This patch fixes the problem by tracking the number of mempool elements in use. The scenario: - You have an origin and two snapshots 1 and 2. - Someone writes to the origin. - It creates two exceptions in the snapshots, snapshot 1 will be primary exception, snapshot 2's pending_exception->primary_pe will point to the exception in snapshot 1. - The exceptions are being relocated, relocation of exception 1 finishes (but it's pending_exception is still allocated, because it is referenced by an exception from snapshot 2) - The user lvremoves snapshot 1 --- it calls just suspend (does nothing) and destructor. md->pending is zero (there is no I/O submitted to the snapshot by md layer), so it won't help us. - The destructor waits for kcopyd jobs to finish on snapshot 1 --- but there are none. - The destructor on snapshot 1 cleans up everything. - The relocation of exception on snapshot 2 finishes, it drops reference on primary_pe. This frees its primary_pe pointer. Primary_pe points to pending exception created for snapshot 1. So it frees memory into non-existing mempool.

dm snapshot: rework COW throttling to fix deadlock Commit 721b1d98fb517a ("dm snapshot: Fix excessive memory usage and workqueue stalls") introduced a semaphore to limit the maximum number of in-flight kcopyd (COW) jobs. The implementation of this throttling mechanism is prone to a deadlock: 1. One or more threads write to the origin device causing COW, which is performed by kcopyd. 2. At some point some of these threads might reach the s->cow_count semaphore limit and block in down(&s->cow_count), holding a read lock on _origins_lock. 3. Someone tries to acquire a write lock on _origins_lock, e.g., snapshot_ctr(), which blocks because the threads at step (2) already hold a read lock on it. 4. A COW operation completes and kcopyd runs dm-snapshot's completion callback, which ends up calling pending_complete(). pending_complete() tries to resubmit any deferred origin bios. This requires acquiring a read lock on _origins_lock, which blocks. This happens because the read-write semaphore implementation gives priority to writers, meaning that as soon as a writer tries to enter the critical section, no readers will be allowed in, until all writers have completed their work. So, pending_complete() waits for the writer at step (3) to acquire and release the lock. This writer waits for the readers at step (2) to release the read lock and those readers wait for pending_complete() (the kcopyd thread) to signal the s->cow_count semaphore: DEADLOCK. The above was thoroughly analyzed and documented by Nikos Tsironis as part of his initial proposal for fixing this deadlock, see: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2019-October/msg00001.html Fix this deadlock by reworking COW throttling so that it waits without holding any locks.

This writer waits for the readers at step (2) to release the read lock and those readers wait for pending_complete() (the kcopyd thread) to signal the s->cow_count semaphore: DEADLOCK. The above was thoroughly analyzed and documented by Nikos Tsironis as part of his initial proposal for fixing this deadlock, see: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2019-October/msg00001.html Fix this deadlock by reworking COW throttling so that it waits without holding any locks. Add a variable 'in_progress' that counts how many kcopyd jobs are running. A function wait_for_in_progress() will sleep if 'in_progress' is over the limit. It drops _origins_lock in order to avoid the deadlock.

dm snapshot: Use fine-grained locking scheme Substitute the global locking scheme with a fine grained one, employing the read-write semaphore and the scalable exception tables with per-bucket locks introduced by the previous two commits. Summarizing, we now use a read-write semaphore to protect the mostly read fields of the snapshot structure, e.g., valid, active, etc., and per-bucket bit spinlocks to protect accesses to the complete and pending exception tables. Finally, we use an extra spinlock (pe_allocation_lock) to serialize the allocation of new exceptions by the exception store. This allocation is really fast, so the extra spinlock doesn't hurt the performance. This scheme allows dm-snapshot to scale better, resulting in increased IOPS and reduced latency.

dm snapshot: Don't sleep holding the snapshot lock When completing a pending exception, pending_complete() waits for all conflicting reads to drain, before inserting the final, completed exception. Conflicting reads are snapshot reads redirected to the origin, because the relevant chunk is not remapped to the COW device the moment we receive the read. The completed exception must be inserted into the exception table after all conflicting reads drain to ensure snapshot reads don't return corrupted data. This is required because inserting the completed exception into the exception table signals that the relevant chunk is remapped and both origin writes and snapshot merging will now overwrite the chunk in origin. This wait is done holding the snapshot lock to ensure that pending_complete() doesn't starve if new snapshot reads keep coming for this chunk. In preparation for the next commit, where we use a spinlock instead of a mutex to protect the exception tables, we remove the need for holding the lock while waiting for conflicting reads to drain. We achieve this in two steps: 1. pending_complete() inserts the completed exception before waiting for conflicting reads to drain and removes the pending exception after all conflicting reads drain. This ensures that new snapshot reads will be redirected to the COW device, instead of the origin, and thus pending_complete() will not starve. Moreover, we use the existence of both a completed and a pending exception to signify that the COW is done but there are conflicting reads in flight. 2. In __origin_write() we check first if there is a pending exception and then if there is a completed exception. If there is a pending exception any submitted BIO is delayed on the pe->origin_bios list and DM_MAPIO_SUBMITTED is returned. This ensures that neither writes to the origin nor snapshot merging can overwrite the origin chunk, until all conflicting reads drain, and thus snapshot reads will not return corrupted data. Summarizing, we now have the following possible combinations of pending and completed exceptions for a chunk, along with their meaning: A. No exceptions exist: The chunk has not been remapped yet. B. Only a pending exception exists: The chunk is currently being copied to the COW device. C. Both a pending and a completed exception exist: COW for this chunk has completed but there are snapshot reads in flight which had been redirected to the origin before the chunk was remapped. D. Only the completed exception exists: COW has been completed and there are no conflicting reads in flight.

This ensures that new snapshot reads will be redirected to the COW device, instead of the origin, and thus pending_complete() will not starve. Moreover, we use the existence of both a completed and a pending exception to signify that the COW is done but there are conflicting reads in flight. 2. In __origin_write() we check first if there is a pending exception and then if there is a completed exception. If there is a pending exception any submitted BIO is delayed on the pe->origin_bios list and DM_MAPIO_SUBMITTED is returned. This ensures that neither writes to the origin nor snapshot merging can overwrite the origin chunk, until all conflicting reads drain, and thus snapshot reads will not return corrupted data. Summarizing, we now have the following possible combinations of pending and completed exceptions for a chunk, along with their meaning: A. No exceptions exist: The chunk has not been remapped yet. B. Only a pending exception exists: The chunk is currently being copied to the COW device. C. Both a pending and a completed exception exist: COW for this chunk has completed but there are snapshot reads in flight which had been redirected to the origin before the chunk was remapped. D. Only the completed exception exists: COW has been completed and there are no conflicting reads in flight.

dm snapshot: Don't sleep holding the snapshot lock When completing a pending exception, pending_complete() waits for all conflicting reads to drain, before inserting the final, completed exception. Conflicting reads are snapshot reads redirected to the origin, because the relevant chunk is not remapped to the COW device the moment we receive the read. The completed exception must be inserted into the exception table after all conflicting reads drain to ensure snapshot reads don't return corrupted data. This is required because inserting the completed exception into the exception table signals that the relevant chunk is remapped and both origin writes and snapshot merging will now overwrite the chunk in origin.

dm snapshot: avoid snapshot space leak on crash There is a possible leak of snapshot space in case of crash. The reason for space leaking is that chunks in the snapshot device are allocated sequentially, but they are finished (and stored in the metadata) out of order, depending on the order in which copying finished. For example, supposed that the metadata contains the following records SUPERBLOCK METADATA (blocks 0 ... 250) DATA 0 DATA 1 DATA 2 ... DATA 250 Now suppose that you allocate 10 new data blocks 251-260. Suppose that copying of these blocks finish out of order (block 260 finished first and the block 251 finished last). Now, the snapshot device looks like this: SUPERBLOCK METADATA (blocks 0 ... 250, 260, 259, 258, 257, 256) DATA 0 DATA 1 DATA 2 ... DATA 250 DATA 251 DATA 252 DATA 253 DATA 254 DATA 255 METADATA (blocks 255, 254, 253, 252, 251) DATA 256 DATA 257 DATA 258 DATA 259 DATA 260 Now, if the machine crashes after writing the first metadata block but before writing the second metadata block, the space for areas DATA 250-255 is leaked, it contains no valid data and it will never be used in the future. This patch makes dm-snapshot complete exceptions in the same order they were allocated, thus fixing this bug. Note: when backporting this patch to the stable kernel, change the version field in the following way: * if version in the stable kernel is {1, 11, 1}, change it to {1, 12, 0} * if version in the stable kernel is {1, 10, 0} or {1, 10, 1}, change it to {1, 10, 2} Userspace reads the version to determine if the bug was fixed, so the version change is needed.

For example, supposed that the metadata contains the following records SUPERBLOCK METADATA (blocks 0 ... 250) DATA 0 DATA 1 DATA 2 ... DATA 250 Now suppose that you allocate 10 new data blocks 251-260. Suppose that copying of these blocks finish out of order (block 260 finished first and the block 251 finished last). Now, the snapshot device looks like this: SUPERBLOCK METADATA (blocks 0 ... 250, 260, 259, 258, 257, 256) DATA 0 DATA 1 DATA 2 ... DATA 250 DATA 251 DATA 252 DATA 253 DATA 254 DATA 255 METADATA (blocks 255, 254, 253, 252, 251) DATA 256 DATA 257 DATA 258 DATA 259 DATA 260 Now, if the machine crashes after writing the first metadata block but before writing the second metadata block, the space for areas DATA 250-255 is leaked, it contains no valid data and it will never be used in the future. This patch makes dm-snapshot complete exceptions in the same order they were allocated, thus fixing this bug. Note: when backporting this patch to the stable kernel, change the version field in the following way: * if version in the stable kernel is {1, 11, 1}, change it to {1, 12, 0} * if version in the stable kernel is {1, 10, 0} or {1, 10, 1}, change it to {1, 10, 2} Userspace reads the version to determine if the bug was fixed, so the version change is needed.

dm snapshot: Don't sleep holding the snapshot lock When completing a pending exception, pending_complete() waits for all conflicting reads to drain, before inserting the final, completed exception. Conflicting reads are snapshot reads redirected to the origin, because the relevant chunk is not remapped to the COW device the moment we receive the read. The completed exception must be inserted into the exception table after all conflicting reads drain to ensure snapshot reads don't return corrupted data. This is required because inserting the completed exception into the exception table signals that the relevant chunk is remapped and both origin writes and snapshot merging will now overwrite the chunk in origin. This wait is done holding the snapshot lock to ensure that pending_complete() doesn't starve if new snapshot reads keep coming for this chunk. In preparation for the next commit, where we use a spinlock instead of a mutex to protect the exception tables, we remove the need for holding the lock while waiting for conflicting reads to drain. We achieve this in two steps: 1. pending_complete() inserts the completed exception before waiting for conflicting reads to drain and removes the pending exception after all conflicting reads drain. This ensures that new snapshot reads will be redirected to the COW device, instead of the origin, and thus pending_complete() will not starve. Moreover, we use the existence of both a completed and a pending exception to signify that the COW is done but there are conflicting reads in flight. 2. In __origin_write() we check first if there is a pending exception and then if there is a completed exception. If there is a pending exception any submitted BIO is delayed on the pe->origin_bios list and DM_MAPIO_SUBMITTED is returned. This ensures that neither writes to the origin nor snapshot merging can overwrite the origin chunk, until all conflicting reads drain, and thus snapshot reads will not return corrupted data. Summarizing, we now have the following possible combinations of pending and completed exceptions for a chunk, along with their meaning: A. No exceptions exist: The chunk has not been remapped yet. B. Only a pending exception exists: The chunk is currently being copied to the COW device. C. Both a pending and a completed exception exist: COW for this chunk has completed but there are snapshot reads in flight which had been redirected to the origin before the chunk was remapped. D. Only the completed exception exists: COW has been completed and there are no conflicting reads in flight.

dm snapshot: Use fine-grained locking scheme Substitute the global locking scheme with a fine grained one, employing the read-write semaphore and the scalable exception tables with per-bucket locks introduced by the previous two commits. Summarizing, we now use a read-write semaphore to protect the mostly read fields of the snapshot structure, e.g., valid, active, etc., and per-bucket bit spinlocks to protect accesses to the complete and pending exception tables. Finally, we use an extra spinlock (pe_allocation_lock) to serialize the allocation of new exceptions by the exception store. This allocation is really fast, so the extra spinlock doesn't hurt the performance. This scheme allows dm-snapshot to scale better, resulting in increased IOPS and reduced latency.

Finally, we use an extra spinlock (pe_allocation_lock) to serialize the allocation of new exceptions by the exception store. This allocation is really fast, so the extra spinlock doesn't hurt the performance. This scheme allows dm-snapshot to scale better, resulting in increased IOPS and reduced latency.

dm snapshot: Don't sleep holding the snapshot lock When completing a pending exception, pending_complete() waits for all conflicting reads to drain, before inserting the final, completed exception. Conflicting reads are snapshot reads redirected to the origin, because the relevant chunk is not remapped to the COW device the moment we receive the read. The completed exception must be inserted into the exception table after all conflicting reads drain to ensure snapshot reads don't return corrupted data. This is required because inserting the completed exception into the exception table signals that the relevant chunk is remapped and both origin writes and snapshot merging will now overwrite the chunk in origin. This wait is done holding the snapshot lock to ensure that pending_complete() doesn't starve if new snapshot reads keep coming for this chunk. In preparation for the next commit, where we use a spinlock instead of a mutex to protect the exception tables, we remove the need for holding the lock while waiting for conflicting reads to drain. We achieve this in two steps: 1. pending_complete() inserts the completed exception before waiting for conflicting reads to drain and removes the pending exception after all conflicting reads drain. This ensures that new snapshot reads will be redirected to the COW device, instead of the origin, and thus pending_complete() will not starve. Moreover, we use the existence of both a completed and a pending exception to signify that the COW is done but there are conflicting reads in flight. 2. In __origin_write() we check first if there is a pending exception and then if there is a completed exception. If there is a pending exception any submitted BIO is delayed on the pe->origin_bios list and DM_MAPIO_SUBMITTED is returned. This ensures that neither writes to the origin nor snapshot merging can overwrite the origin chunk, until all conflicting reads drain, and thus snapshot reads will not return corrupted data. Summarizing, we now have the following possible combinations of pending and completed exceptions for a chunk, along with their meaning: A. No exceptions exist: The chunk has not been remapped yet. B. Only a pending exception exists: The chunk is currently being copied to the COW device. C. Both a pending and a completed exception exist: COW for this chunk has completed but there are snapshot reads in flight which had been redirected to the origin before the chunk was remapped. D. Only the completed exception exists: COW has been completed and there are no conflicting reads in flight.

Once the upper layer frees space (e.g. fstrim to XFS) the discards issued to the dm-snapshot target will be issued to underlying read-only device whose free space was exhausted. In addition those discards will also cause zeroes to be written to the snapshot exception store if corresponding exceptions exist. If the underlying origin device provides deduplication for zero blocks then if/when the snapshot is merged backed to the origin those blocks will become unused.

dm snapshot: rework COW throttling to fix deadlock Commit 721b1d98fb517a ("dm snapshot: Fix excessive memory usage and workqueue stalls") introduced a semaphore to limit the maximum number of in-flight kcopyd (COW) jobs. The implementation of this throttling mechanism is prone to a deadlock: 1. One or more threads write to the origin device causing COW, which is performed by kcopyd. 2. At some point some of these threads might reach the s->cow_count semaphore limit and block in down(&s->cow_count), holding a read lock on _origins_lock. 3. Someone tries to acquire a write lock on _origins_lock, e.g., snapshot_ctr(), which blocks because the threads at step (2) already hold a read lock on it. 4. A COW operation completes and kcopyd runs dm-snapshot's completion callback, which ends up calling pending_complete(). pending_complete() tries to resubmit any deferred origin bios. This requires acquiring a read lock on _origins_lock, which blocks. This happens because the read-write semaphore implementation gives priority to writers, meaning that as soon as a writer tries to enter the critical section, no readers will be allowed in, until all writers have completed their work. So, pending_complete() waits for the writer at step (3) to acquire and release the lock. This writer waits for the readers at step (2) to release the read lock and those readers wait for pending_complete() (the kcopyd thread) to signal the s->cow_count semaphore: DEADLOCK. The above was thoroughly analyzed and documented by Nikos Tsironis as part of his initial proposal for fixing this deadlock, see: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2019-October/msg00001.html Fix this deadlock by reworking COW throttling so that it waits without holding any locks. Add a variable 'in_progress' that counts how many kcopyd jobs are running. A function wait_for_in_progress() will sleep if 'in_progress' is over the limit. It drops _origins_lock in order to avoid the deadlock.

dm snapshot: Use fine-grained locking scheme Substitute the global locking scheme with a fine grained one, employing the read-write semaphore and the scalable exception tables with per-bucket locks introduced by the previous two commits. Summarizing, we now use a read-write semaphore to protect the mostly read fields of the snapshot structure, e.g., valid, active, etc., and per-bucket bit spinlocks to protect accesses to the complete and pending exception tables.

dm snapshot: add optional discard support features discard_zeroes_cow - a discard issued to the snapshot device that maps to entire chunks to will zero the corresponding exception(s) in the snapshot's exception store. discard_passdown_origin - a discard to the snapshot device is passed down to the snapshot-origin's underlying device. This doesn't cause copy-out to the snapshot exception store because the snapshot-origin target is bypassed. The discard_passdown_origin feature depends on the discard_zeroes_cow feature being enabled. When these 2 features are enabled they allow a temporarily read-only device that has completely exhausted its free space to recover space. To do so dm-snapshot provides temporary buffer to accommodate writes that the temporarily read-only device cannot handle yet. Once the upper layer frees space (e.g. fstrim to XFS) the discards issued to the dm-snapshot target will be issued to underlying read-only device whose free space was exhausted. In addition those discards will also cause zeroes to be written to the snapshot exception store if corresponding exceptions exist. If the underlying origin device provides deduplication for zero blocks then if/when the snapshot is merged backed to the origin those blocks will become unused. Once the origin has gained adequate space, merging the snapshot back to the thinly provisioned device will permit continued use of that device without the temporary space provided by the snapshot.

dm snapshot: rework COW throttling to fix deadlock Commit 721b1d98fb517a ("dm snapshot: Fix excessive memory usage and workqueue stalls") introduced a semaphore to limit the maximum number of in-flight kcopyd (COW) jobs. The implementation of this throttling mechanism is prone to a deadlock: 1. One or more threads write to the origin device causing COW, which is performed by kcopyd. 2. At some point some of these threads might reach the s->cow_count semaphore limit and block in down(&s->cow_count), holding a read lock on _origins_lock. 3. Someone tries to acquire a write lock on _origins_lock, e.g., snapshot_ctr(), which blocks because the threads at step (2) already hold a read lock on it. 4. A COW operation completes and kcopyd runs dm-snapshot's completion callback, which ends up calling pending_complete(). pending_complete() tries to resubmit any deferred origin bios. This requires acquiring a read lock on _origins_lock, which blocks. This happens because the read-write semaphore implementation gives priority to writers, meaning that as soon as a writer tries to enter the critical section, no readers will be allowed in, until all writers have completed their work. So, pending_complete() waits for the writer at step (3) to acquire and release the lock. This writer waits for the readers at step (2) to release the read lock and those readers wait for pending_complete() (the kcopyd thread) to signal the s->cow_count semaphore: DEADLOCK. The above was thoroughly analyzed and documented by Nikos Tsironis as part of his initial proposal for fixing this deadlock, see: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2019-October/msg00001.html Fix this deadlock by reworking COW throttling so that it waits without holding any locks. Add a variable 'in_progress' that counts how many kcopyd jobs are running. A function wait_for_in_progress() will sleep if 'in_progress' is over the limit. It drops _origins_lock in order to avoid the deadlock.

dm snapshot: suspend origin when doing exception handover In the function snapshot_resume we perform exception store handover. If there is another active snapshot target, the exception store is moved from this target to the target that is being resumed. The problem is that if there is some pending exception, it will point to an incorrect exception store after that handover, causing a crash due to dm-snap-persistent.c:get_exception()'s BUG_ON. This bug can be triggered by repeatedly changing snapshot permissions with "lvchange -p r" and "lvchange -p rw" while there are writes on the associated origin device. To fix this bug, we must suspend the origin device when doing the exception store handover to make sure that there are no pending exceptions: - introduce _origin_hash that keeps track of dm_origin structures. - introduce functions __lookup_dm_origin, __insert_dm_origin and __remove_dm_origin that manipulate the origin hash. - modify snapshot_resume so that it calls dm_internal_suspend_fast() and dm_internal_resume_fast() on the origin device. NOTE to stable@ people: When backporting to kernels 3.12-3.18, use dm_internal_suspend and dm_internal_resume instead of dm_internal_suspend_fast and dm_internal_resume_fast. When backporting to kernels older than 3.12, you need to pick functions dm_internal_suspend and dm_internal_resume from the commit fd2ed4d252701d3bbed4cd3e3d267ad469bb832a.

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.

This doesn't cause copy-out to the snapshot exception store because the snapshot-origin target is bypassed. The discard_passdown_origin feature depends on the discard_zeroes_cow feature being enabled. When these 2 features are enabled they allow a temporarily read-only device that has completely exhausted its free space to recover space. To do so dm-snapshot provides temporary buffer to accommodate writes that the temporarily read-only device cannot handle yet. Once the upper layer frees space (e.g. fstrim to XFS) the discards issued to the dm-snapshot target will be issued to underlying read-only device whose free space was exhausted. In addition those discards will also cause zeroes to be written to the snapshot exception store if corresponding exceptions exist. If the underlying origin device provides deduplication for zero blocks then if/when the snapshot is merged backed to the origin those blocks will become unused. Once the origin has gained adequate space, merging the snapshot back to the thinly provisioned device will permit continued use of that device without the temporary space provided by the snapshot.

dm snapshot: Don't sleep holding the snapshot lock When completing a pending exception, pending_complete() waits for all conflicting reads to drain, before inserting the final, completed exception. Conflicting reads are snapshot reads redirected to the origin, because the relevant chunk is not remapped to the COW device the moment we receive the read. The completed exception must be inserted into the exception table after all conflicting reads drain to ensure snapshot reads don't return corrupted data. This is required because inserting the completed exception into the exception table signals that the relevant chunk is remapped and both origin writes and snapshot merging will now overwrite the chunk in origin. This wait is done holding the snapshot lock to ensure that pending_complete() doesn't starve if new snapshot reads keep coming for this chunk. In preparation for the next commit, where we use a spinlock instead of a mutex to protect the exception tables, we remove the need for holding the lock while waiting for conflicting reads to drain. We achieve this in two steps: 1. pending_complete() inserts the completed exception before waiting for conflicting reads to drain and removes the pending exception after all conflicting reads drain. This ensures that new snapshot reads will be redirected to the COW device, instead of the origin, and thus pending_complete() will not starve. Moreover, we use the existence of both a completed and a pending exception to signify that the COW is done but there are conflicting reads in flight. 2. In __origin_write() we check first if there is a pending exception and then if there is a completed exception. If there is a pending exception any submitted BIO is delayed on the pe->origin_bios list and DM_MAPIO_SUBMITTED is returned. This ensures that neither writes to the origin nor snapshot merging can overwrite the origin chunk, until all conflicting reads drain, and thus snapshot reads will not return corrupted data. Summarizing, we now have the following possible combinations of pending and completed exceptions for a chunk, along with their meaning: A. No exceptions exist: The chunk has not been remapped yet. B. Only a pending exception exists: The chunk is currently being copied to the COW device. C. Both a pending and a completed exception exist: COW for this chunk has completed but there are snapshot reads in flight which had been redirected to the origin before the chunk was remapped. D. Only the completed exception exists: COW has been completed and there are no conflicting reads in flight.

dm snapshot: Use fine-grained locking scheme Substitute the global locking scheme with a fine grained one, employing the read-write semaphore and the scalable exception tables with per-bucket locks introduced by the previous two commits. Summarizing, we now use a read-write semaphore to protect the mostly read fields of the snapshot structure, e.g., valid, active, etc., and per-bucket bit spinlocks to protect accesses to the complete and pending exception tables. Finally, we use an extra spinlock (pe_allocation_lock) to serialize the allocation of new exceptions by the exception store. This allocation is really fast, so the extra spinlock doesn't hurt the performance. This scheme allows dm-snapshot to scale better, resulting in increased IOPS and reduced latency.

dm snapshot: Don't sleep holding the snapshot lock When completing a pending exception, pending_complete() waits for all conflicting reads to drain, before inserting the final, completed exception. Conflicting reads are snapshot reads redirected to the origin, because the relevant chunk is not remapped to the COW device the moment we receive the read. The completed exception must be inserted into the exception table after all conflicting reads drain to ensure snapshot reads don't return corrupted data. This is required because inserting the completed exception into the exception table signals that the relevant chunk is remapped and both origin writes and snapshot merging will now overwrite the chunk in origin. This wait is done holding the snapshot lock to ensure that pending_complete() doesn't starve if new snapshot reads keep coming for this chunk. In preparation for the next commit, where we use a spinlock instead of a mutex to protect the exception tables, we remove the need for holding the lock while waiting for conflicting reads to drain. We achieve this in two steps: 1. pending_complete() inserts the completed exception before waiting for conflicting reads to drain and removes the pending exception after all conflicting reads drain. This ensures that new snapshot reads will be redirected to the COW device, instead of the origin, and thus pending_complete() will not starve. Moreover, we use the existence of both a completed and a pending exception to signify that the COW is done but there are conflicting reads in flight. 2. In __origin_write() we check first if there is a pending exception and then if there is a completed exception. If there is a pending exception any submitted BIO is delayed on the pe->origin_bios list and DM_MAPIO_SUBMITTED is returned. This ensures that neither writes to the origin nor snapshot merging can overwrite the origin chunk, until all conflicting reads drain, and thus snapshot reads will not return corrupted data. Summarizing, we now have the following possible combinations of pending and completed exceptions for a chunk, along with their meaning: A. No exceptions exist: The chunk has not been remapped yet. B. Only a pending exception exists: The chunk is currently being copied to the COW device. C. Both a pending and a completed exception exist: COW for this chunk has completed but there are snapshot reads in flight which had been redirected to the origin before the chunk was remapped. D. Only the completed exception exists: COW has been completed and there are no conflicting reads in flight.

dm snapshot: rework COW throttling to fix deadlock Commit 721b1d98fb517a ("dm snapshot: Fix excessive memory usage and workqueue stalls") introduced a semaphore to limit the maximum number of in-flight kcopyd (COW) jobs. The implementation of this throttling mechanism is prone to a deadlock: 1. One or more threads write to the origin device causing COW, which is performed by kcopyd. 2. At some point some of these threads might reach the s->cow_count semaphore limit and block in down(&s->cow_count), holding a read lock on _origins_lock. 3. Someone tries to acquire a write lock on _origins_lock, e.g., snapshot_ctr(), which blocks because the threads at step (2) already hold a read lock on it. 4. A COW operation completes and kcopyd runs dm-snapshot's completion callback, which ends up calling pending_complete(). pending_complete() tries to resubmit any deferred origin bios. This requires acquiring a read lock on _origins_lock, which blocks. This happens because the read-write semaphore implementation gives priority to writers, meaning that as soon as a writer tries to enter the critical section, no readers will be allowed in, until all writers have completed their work. So, pending_complete() waits for the writer at step (3) to acquire and release the lock. This writer waits for the readers at step (2) to release the read lock and those readers wait for pending_complete() (the kcopyd thread) to signal the s->cow_count semaphore: DEADLOCK. The above was thoroughly analyzed and documented by Nikos Tsironis as part of his initial proposal for fixing this deadlock, see: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2019-October/msg00001.html Fix this deadlock by reworking COW throttling so that it waits without holding any locks. Add a variable 'in_progress' that counts how many kcopyd jobs are running. A function wait_for_in_progress() will sleep if 'in_progress' is over the limit. It drops _origins_lock in order to avoid the deadlock.

This writer waits for the readers at step (2) to release the read lock and those readers wait for pending_complete() (the kcopyd thread) to signal the s->cow_count semaphore: DEADLOCK.

dm snapshot: rework COW throttling to fix deadlock Commit 721b1d98fb517a ("dm snapshot: Fix excessive memory usage and workqueue stalls") introduced a semaphore to limit the maximum number of in-flight kcopyd (COW) jobs. The implementation of this throttling mechanism is prone to a deadlock: 1. One or more threads write to the origin device causing COW, which is performed by kcopyd. 2. At some point some of these threads might reach the s->cow_count semaphore limit and block in down(&s->cow_count), holding a read lock on _origins_lock. 3. Someone tries to acquire a write lock on _origins_lock, e.g., snapshot_ctr(), which blocks because the threads at step (2) already hold a read lock on it. 4. A COW operation completes and kcopyd runs dm-snapshot's completion callback, which ends up calling pending_complete(). pending_complete() tries to resubmit any deferred origin bios. This requires acquiring a read lock on _origins_lock, which blocks. This happens because the read-write semaphore implementation gives priority to writers, meaning that as soon as a writer tries to enter the critical section, no readers will be allowed in, until all writers have completed their work. So, pending_complete() waits for the writer at step (3) to acquire and release the lock. This writer waits for the readers at step (2) to release the read lock and those readers wait for pending_complete() (the kcopyd thread) to signal the s->cow_count semaphore: DEADLOCK.

dm snapshot: suspend origin when doing exception handover In the function snapshot_resume we perform exception store handover. If there is another active snapshot target, the exception store is moved from this target to the target that is being resumed. The problem is that if there is some pending exception, it will point to an incorrect exception store after that handover, causing a crash due to dm-snap-persistent.c:get_exception()'s BUG_ON. This bug can be triggered by repeatedly changing snapshot permissions with "lvchange -p r" and "lvchange -p rw" while there are writes on the associated origin device. To fix this bug, we must suspend the origin device when doing the exception store handover to make sure that there are no pending exceptions: - introduce _origin_hash that keeps track of dm_origin structures. - introduce functions __lookup_dm_origin, __insert_dm_origin and __remove_dm_origin that manipulate the origin hash. - modify snapshot_resume so that it calls dm_internal_suspend_fast() and dm_internal_resume_fast() on the origin device. NOTE to stable@ people: When backporting to kernels 3.12-3.18, use dm_internal_suspend and dm_internal_resume instead of dm_internal_suspend_fast and dm_internal_resume_fast. When backporting to kernels older than 3.12, you need to pick functions dm_internal_suspend and dm_internal_resume from the commit fd2ed4d252701d3bbed4cd3e3d267ad469bb832a.

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 snapshot: add optional discard support features discard_zeroes_cow - a discard issued to the snapshot device that maps to entire chunks to will zero the corresponding exception(s) in the snapshot's exception store. discard_passdown_origin - a discard to the snapshot device is passed down to the snapshot-origin's underlying device. This doesn't cause copy-out to the snapshot exception store because the snapshot-origin target is bypassed. The discard_passdown_origin feature depends on the discard_zeroes_cow feature being enabled. When these 2 features are enabled they allow a temporarily read-only device that has completely exhausted its free space to recover space. To do so dm-snapshot provides temporary buffer to accommodate writes that the temporarily read-only device cannot handle yet. Once the upper layer frees space (e.g. fstrim to XFS) the discards issued to the dm-snapshot target will be issued to underlying read-only device whose free space was exhausted. In addition those discards will also cause zeroes to be written to the snapshot exception store if corresponding exceptions exist. If the underlying origin device provides deduplication for zero blocks then if/when the snapshot is merged backed to the origin those blocks will become unused. Once the origin has gained adequate space, merging the snapshot back to the thinly provisioned device will permit continued use of that device without the temporary space provided by the snapshot.
