dm delay: for short delays, use kthread instead of timers and wq DM delay's current design of using timers and wq to realize the delays is insufficient for delays below ~50ms. This commit enhances the design to use a kthread to flush the expired delays, trading some CPU time (in some cases) for better delay accuracy and delays closer to what the user requested for smaller delays. The new design is chosen as long as all the delays are below 50ms. Since bios can't be completed in interrupt context using a kthread is probably the most reasonable way to approach this.

This commit enhances the design to use a kthread to flush the expired delays, trading some CPU time (in some cases) for better delay accuracy and delays closer to what the user requested for smaller delays. The new design is chosen as long as all the delays are below 50ms. Since bios can't be completed in interrupt context using a kthread is probably the most reasonable way to approach this. Testing with echo "0 2097152 zero" | dmsetup create dm-zeros for i in $(seq 0 20); do echo "0 2097152 delay /dev/mapper/dm-zeros 0 $i" | dmsetup create dm-delay-${i}ms; done Some performance numbers for comparison, on beaglebone black (single core) CONFIG_HZ_1000=y: fio --name=1msread --rw=randread --bs=4k --runtime=60 --time_based \ --filename=/dev/mapper/dm-delay-1ms Theoretical maximum: 1000 IOPS Previous: 250 IOPS Kthread: 500 IOPS fio --name=10msread --rw=randread --bs=4k --runtime=60 --time_based \ --filename=/dev/mapper/dm-delay-10ms Theoretical maximum: 100 IOPS Previous: 45 IOPS Kthread: 50 IOPS fio --name=1mswrite --rw=randwrite --direct=1 --bs=4k --runtime=60 \ --time_based --filename=/dev/mapper/dm-delay-1ms Theoretical maximum: 1000 IOPS Previous: 498 IOPS Kthread: 1000 IOPS fio --name=10mswrite --rw=randwrite --direct=1 --bs=4k --runtime=60 \ --time_based --filename=/dev/mapper/dm-delay-10ms Theoretical maximum: 100 IOPS Previous: 90 IOPS Kthread: 100 IOPS (This one is just to prove the new design isn't impacting throughput, not really about delays): fio --name=10mswriteasync --rw=randwrite --direct=1 --bs=4k \ --runtime=60 --time_based --filename=/dev/mapper/dm-delay-10ms \ --numjobs=32 --iodepth=64 --ioengine=libaio --group_reporting Previous: 13.3k IOPS Kthread: 13.3k IOPS Signed-off-by: Christian Loehle <christian.loehle@arm.com> [Harshit: kthread_create error handling fix in delay_ctr] Signed-off-by: Harshit Mogalapalli <harshit.m.mogalapalli@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@kernel.org>

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.
