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".

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 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>

dm thin: commit outstanding data every second Commit unwritten data every second to prevent too much building up. Released blocks don't become available until after the next commit (for crash resilience). Prior to this patch commits were only triggered by a message to the target or a REQ_{FLUSH,FUA} bio. This allowed far too big a position to build up. The interval is hard-coded to 1 second. This is a sensible setting. I'm not making this user configurable, since there isn't much to be gained by tweaking this - and a lot lost by setting it far too high.

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 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: 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.

It wasn't realized until it became clear that userspace response to the event raced with the actual state change that the event was meant to notify about. Fix this by first updating internal thin-pool state to reflect what the DM event is being issued about. This fixes a long-standing racey/buggy userspace device-mapper-test-suite 'resize_io' test that would get an event but not find the state it was looking for -- so it would just go on to hang because no other events caused the test to reevaluate the thin-pool's state.

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.

This provides comparable performance to the power of 2 math that was performed until now (as tested on modern x86_64 hardware).

dm thin: consistently return -ENOSPC if pool has run out of data space Commit 0a927c2f02 ("dm thin: return -ENOSPC when erroring retry list due to out of data space") was a step in the right direction but didn't go far enough. Add a new 'out_of_data_space' flag to 'struct pool' and set it if/when the pool runs of of data space. This fixes cell_error() and error_retry_list() to not blindly return -EIO. We cannot rely on the 'error_if_no_space' feature flag since it is transient (in that it can be reset once space is added, plus it only controls whether errors are issued, it doesn't reflect whether the pool is actually out of space).

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.

dm thin: fix bug where bio that overwrites thin block ignores FUA When provisioning a new data block for a virtual block, either because the block was previously unallocated or because we are breaking sharing, if the whole block of data is being overwritten the bio that triggered the provisioning is issued immediately, skipping copying or zeroing of the data block. When this bio completes the new mapping is inserted in to the pool's metadata by process_prepared_mapping(), where the bio completion is signaled to the upper layers. This completion is signaled without first committing the metadata. If the bio in question has the REQ_FUA flag set and the system crashes right after its completion and before the next metadata commit, then the write is lost despite the REQ_FUA flag requiring that I/O completion for this request must only be signaled after the data has been committed to non-volatile storage. Fix this by deferring the completion of overwrite bios, with the REQ_FUA flag set, until after the metadata has been committed.

dm thin: fix a race condition between discarding and provisioning a block The discard passdown was being issued after the block was unmapped, which meant the block could be reprovisioned whilst the passdown discard was still in flight. We can only identify unshared blocks (safe to do a passdown a discard to) once they're unmapped and their ref count hits zero. Block ref counts are now used to guard against concurrent allocation of these blocks that are being discarded. So now we unmap the block, issue passdown discards, and the immediately increment ref counts for regions that have been discarded via passed down (this is safe because allocation occurs within the same thread). We then decrement ref counts once the passdown discard IO is complete -- signaling these blocks may now be allocated.

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.

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 thin: fix noflush suspend IO queueing i) by the time DM core calls the postsuspend hook the dm_noflush flag has been cleared. So the old thin_postsuspend did nothing. We need to use the presuspend hook instead. ii) There was a race between bios leaving DM core and arriving in the deferred queue. thin_presuspend now sets a 'requeue' flag causing all bios destined for that thin to be requeued back to DM core. Then it requeues all held IO, and all IO on the deferred queue (destined for that thin). Finally postsuspend clears the 'requeue' flag.

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 thin: remap the bios in a cell immediately This use of direct submission in process_prepared_mapping() reduces latency for submitting bios in a cell by avoiding adding those bios to the deferred list and waiting for the next iteration of the worker.

This sharing is made possible using the persistent-data library in the previous patch.

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>

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).

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.

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 ...). The previous implementation of snapshots did this by chaining together lookup tables, and so performance was O(depth).

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.

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.

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.

Eliminates the need for dm_sumbit_bio_remap() callers to know whether they are calling for a workqueue or from the original dm_submit_bio(). Add map_task to dm_io struct, record the map_task in alloc_io and clear it after all target ->map() calls have completed. Update dm_sumbit_bio_remap to check if 'current' matches io->map_task rather than rely on passed 'from_rq' argument. This change really simplifies the chore of porting each DM target to using dm_sumbit_bio_remap() because there is no longer the risk of programming error by not completely knowing all the different contexts a particular method that calls dm_sumbit_bio_remap() might be used in.

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 ...).

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.

Further investigation with perf indicates that queue_work_on() consumes over 20% CPU time when doing IO over dm-thin device. The call stack is as follows. - 40.57% thin_map + 22.07% queue_work_on + 9.95% dm_thin_find_block + 2.80% cell_defer_no_holder 1.91% inc_all_io_entry.isra.33.part.34 + 1.78% bio_detain.isra.35 In cell_defer_no_holder(), wakeup_worker() is always called, no matter whether the tc->deferred_bio_list list is empty or not. In single thread IO model, this list is most likely empty. So skip waking up worker thread if tc->deferred_bio_list list is empty. Single thread IO performance improves from 448 MiB/s to 646 MiB/s (+44%) once the needless wake_worker() calls are properly skipped.

dm thin: remove cells from stack This patch takes advantage of the new bio-prison interface where the memory is now passed in rather than using a mempool in bio-prison. This allows the map function to avoid performing potentially-blocking allocations that could lead to deadlocks: We want to avoid the cell allocation that is done in bio_detain.

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 a race condition between discarding and provisioning a block The discard passdown was being issued after the block was unmapped, which meant the block could be reprovisioned whilst the passdown discard was still in flight. We can only identify unshared blocks (safe to do a passdown a discard to) once they're unmapped and their ref count hits zero. Block ref counts are now used to guard against concurrent allocation of these blocks that are being discarded. So now we unmap the block, issue passdown discards, and the immediately increment ref counts for regions that have been discarded via passed down (this is safe because allocation occurs within the same thread). We then decrement ref counts once the passdown discard IO is complete -- signaling these blocks may now be allocated.

dm thin: fix passdown_double_checking_shared_status() Commit 00a0ea33b495 ("dm thin: do not queue freed thin mapping for next stage processing") changed process_prepared_discard_passdown_pt1() to increment all the blocks being discarded until after the passdown had completed to avoid them being prematurely reused. IO issued to a thin device that breaks sharing with a snapshot, followed by a discard issued to snapshot(s) that previously shared the block(s), results in passdown_double_checking_shared_status() being called to iterate through the blocks double checking their reference count is zero and issuing the passdown if so. So a side effect of commit 00a0ea33b495 is passdown_double_checking_shared_status() was broken. Fix this by checking if the block reference count is greater than 1. Also, rename dm_pool_block_is_used() to dm_pool_block_is_shared().

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 a race condition between discarding and provisioning a block The discard passdown was being issued after the block was unmapped, which meant the block could be reprovisioned whilst the passdown discard was still in flight. We can only identify unshared blocks (safe to do a passdown a discard to) once they're unmapped and their ref count hits zero. Block ref counts are now used to guard against concurrent allocation of these blocks that are being discarded. So now we unmap the block, issue passdown discards, and the immediately increment ref counts for regions that have been discarded via passed down (this is safe because allocation occurs within the same thread). We then decrement ref counts once the passdown discard IO is complete -- signaling these blocks may now be allocated.

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 ...). 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.

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: 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 thin: handle running out of data space vs concurrent discard Discards issued to a DM thin device can complete to userspace (via fstrim) _before_ the metadata changes associated with the discards is reflected in the thinp superblock (e.g. free blocks). As such, if a user constructs a test that loops repeatedly over these steps, block allocation can fail due to discards not having completed yet: 1) fill thin device via filesystem file 2) remove file 3) fstrim From initial report, here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2018-April/msg00022.html "The root cause of this issue is that dm-thin will first remove mapping and increase corresponding blocks' reference count to prevent them from being reused before DISCARD bios get processed by the underlying layers. However. increasing blocks' reference count could also increase the nr_allocated_this_transaction in struct sm_disk which makes smd->old_ll.nr_allocated + smd->nr_allocated_this_transaction bigger than smd->old_ll.nr_blocks. In this case, alloc_data_block() will never commit metadata to reset the begin pointer of struct sm_disk, because sm_disk_get_nr_free() always return an underflow value." While there is room for improvement to the space-map accounting that thinp is making use of: the reality is this test is inherently racey and will result in the previous iteration's fstrim's discard(s) completing vs concurrent block allocation, via dd, in the next iteration of the loop. No amount of space map accounting improvements will be able to allow user's to use a block before a discard of that block has completed. So the best we can really do is allow DM thinp to gracefully handle such aggressive use of all the pool's data by degrading the pool into out-of-data-space (OODS) mode. We _should_ get that behaviour already (if space map accounting didn't falsely cause alloc_data_block() to believe free space was available).. but short of that we handle the current reality that dm_pool_alloc_data_block() can return -ENOSPC.

dm thin metadata: try to avoid ever aborting transactions Committing a transaction can consume some metadata of it's own, we now reserve a small amount of metadata to cover this. Free metadata reported by the kernel will not include this reserve. If any of the reserve has been used after a commit we enter a new internal state PM_OUT_OF_METADATA_SPACE. This is reported as PM_READ_ONLY, so no userland changes are needed. If the metadata device is resized the pool will move back to PM_WRITE. These changes mean we never need to abort and rollback a transaction due to running out of metadata space. This is particularly important because there have been a handful of reports of data corruption against DM thin-provisioning that can all be attributed to the thin-pool having ran out of metadata space.

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: handle running out of data space vs concurrent discard Discards issued to a DM thin device can complete to userspace (via fstrim) _before_ the metadata changes associated with the discards is reflected in the thinp superblock (e.g. free blocks). As such, if a user constructs a test that loops repeatedly over these steps, block allocation can fail due to discards not having completed yet: 1) fill thin device via filesystem file 2) remove file 3) fstrim From initial report, here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2018-April/msg00022.html "The root cause of this issue is that dm-thin will first remove mapping and increase corresponding blocks' reference count to prevent them from being reused before DISCARD bios get processed by the underlying layers. However. increasing blocks' reference count could also increase the nr_allocated_this_transaction in struct sm_disk which makes smd->old_ll.nr_allocated + smd->nr_allocated_this_transaction bigger than smd->old_ll.nr_blocks. In this case, alloc_data_block() will never commit metadata to reset the begin pointer of struct sm_disk, because sm_disk_get_nr_free() always return an underflow value." While there is room for improvement to the space-map accounting that thinp is making use of: the reality is this test is inherently racey and will result in the previous iteration's fstrim's discard(s) completing vs concurrent block allocation, via dd, in the next iteration of the loop. No amount of space map accounting improvements will be able to allow user's to use a block before a discard of that block has completed. So the best we can really do is allow DM thinp to gracefully handle such aggressive use of all the pool's data by degrading the pool into out-of-data-space (OODS) mode. We _should_ get that behaviour already (if space map accounting didn't falsely cause alloc_data_block() to believe free space was available).. but short of that we handle the current reality that dm_pool_alloc_data_block() can return -ENOSPC.

dm thin metadata: try to avoid ever aborting transactions Committing a transaction can consume some metadata of it's own, we now reserve a small amount of metadata to cover this. Free metadata reported by the kernel will not include this reserve. If any of the reserve has been used after a commit we enter a new internal state PM_OUT_OF_METADATA_SPACE. This is reported as PM_READ_ONLY, so no userland changes are needed. If the metadata device is resized the pool will move back to PM_WRITE. These changes mean we never need to abort and rollback a transaction due to running out of metadata space. This is particularly important because there have been a handful of reports of data corruption against DM thin-provisioning that can all be attributed to the thin-pool having ran out of metadata space.

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: return ENOSPC instead of EIO when error_if_no_space enabled Update the DM thin provisioning target's allocation failure error to be consistent with commit a9d6ceb8 ("[SCSI] return ENOSPC on thin provisioning failure"). The DM thin target now returns -ENOSPC rather than -EIO when block allocation fails due to the pool being out of data space (and the 'error_if_no_space' thin-pool feature is enabled).

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.

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.

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".

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.

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.

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: 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). 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 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.

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.

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.

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 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 rcu_read_lock being held in code that can sleep Commit c140e1c4e23 ("dm thin: use per thin device deferred bio lists") introduced the use of an rculist for all active thin devices. The use of rcu_read_lock() in process_deferred_bios() can result in a BUG if a dm_bio_prison_cell must be allocated as a side-effect of bio_detain(): BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/mempool.c:203 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 6, name: kworker/u8:0 3 locks held by kworker/u8:0/6: #0: ("dm-" "thin"){.+.+..}, at: [<ffffffff8106be42>] process_one_work+0x192/0x550 #1: ((&pool->worker)){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff8106be42>] process_one_work+0x192/0x550 #2: (rcu_read_lock){.+.+..}, at: [<ffffffff816360b5>] do_worker+0x5/0x4d0 We can't process deferred bios with the rcu lock held, since dm_bio_prison_cell allocation may block if the bio-prison's cell mempool is exhausted. 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: make get_first_thin use rcu-safe list first function The documentation in rculist.h explains the absence of list_empty_rcu() and cautions programmers against relying on a list_empty() -> list_first() sequence in RCU safe code. This is because each of these functions performs its own READ_ONCE() of the list head. This can lead to a situation where the list_empty() sees a valid list entry, but the subsequent list_first() sees a different view of list head state after a modification. In the case of dm-thin, this author had a production box crash from a GP fault in the process_deferred_bios path. This function saw a valid list head in get_first_thin() but when it subsequently dereferenced that and turned it into a thin_c, it got the inside of the struct pool, since the list was now empty and referring to itself. The kernel on which this occurred printed both a warning about a refcount_t being saturated, and a UBSAN error for an out-of-bounds cpuid access in the queued spinlock, prior to the fault itself. When the resulting kdump was examined, it was possible to see another thread patiently waiting in thin_dtr's synchronize_rcu. The thin_dtr call managed to pull the thin_c out of the active thins list (and have it be the last entry in the active_thins list) at just the wrong moment which lead to this crash. Fortunately, the fix here is straight forward. Switch get_first_thin() function to use list_first_or_null_rcu() which performs just a single READ_ONCE() and returns NULL if the list is already empty. This was run against the devicemapper test suite's thin-provisioning suites for delete and suspend and no regressions were observed.

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

When we write to a shared block, in case of internal snapshots, or provision a new block, in case of external snapshots, we copy the shared block to a new data block (COW), update the mapping for the relevant virtual block and then issue the write to the new data block. Suppose the data device has a volatile write-back cache and the following sequence of events occur: 1. We write to a shared block 2. A new data block is allocated 3. We copy the shared block to the new data block using kcopyd (COW) 4. We insert the new mapping for the virtual block in the btree for that thin device. 5. The commit timeout expires and we commit the metadata, that now includes the new mapping from step (4). 6. The system crashes and the data device's cache has not been flushed, meaning that the COWed data are lost. The next time we read that virtual block of the thin device we read it from the data block allocated in step (2), since the metadata have been successfully committed. The data are lost due to the crash, so we read garbage instead of the old, shared data. This has the following implications: 1. In case of writes to shared blocks, with size smaller than the pool's block size (which means we first copy the whole block and then issue the smaller write), we corrupt data that the user never touched. 2. In case of writes to shared blocks, with size equal to the device's logical block size, we fail to provide atomic sector writes. When the system recovers the user will read garbage from that sector instead of the old data or the new data. 3. Even for writes to shared blocks, with size equal to the pool's block size (overwrites), after the system recovers, the written sectors will contain garbage instead of a random mix of sectors containing either old data or new data, thus we fail again to provide atomic sectors writes. 4. Even when the user flushes the thin device, because we first commit the metadata and then pass down the flush, the same risk for corruption exists (if the system crashes after the metadata have been committed but before the flush is passed down to the data device.) The only case which is unaffected is that of writes with size equal to the pool's block size and with the FUA flag set. But, because FUA writes trigger metadata commits, this case can trigger the corruption indirectly. Moreover, apart from internal and external snapshots, the same issue exists for newly provisioned blocks, when block zeroing is enabled. After the system recovers the provisioned blocks might contain garbage instead of zeroes. To solve this and avoid the potential data corruption we flush the pool's data device **before** committing its metadata. This ensures that the data blocks of any newly inserted mappings are properly written to non-volatile storage and won't be lost in case of a crash.

dm: simplify dm_sumbit_bio_remap interface Remove the from_wq argument from dm_sumbit_bio_remap(). Eliminates the need for dm_sumbit_bio_remap() callers to know whether they are calling for a workqueue or from the original dm_submit_bio(). Add map_task to dm_io struct, record the map_task in alloc_io and clear it after all target ->map() calls have completed. Update dm_sumbit_bio_remap to check if 'current' matches io->map_task rather than rely on passed 'from_rq' argument. This change really simplifies the chore of porting each DM target to using dm_sumbit_bio_remap() because there is no longer the risk of programming error by not completely knowing all the different contexts a particular method that calls dm_sumbit_bio_remap() might be used in.

dm thin: fix a race condition between discarding and provisioning a block The discard passdown was being issued after the block was unmapped, which meant the block could be reprovisioned whilst the passdown discard was still in flight. We can only identify unshared blocks (safe to do a passdown a discard to) once they're unmapped and their ref count hits zero. Block ref counts are now used to guard against concurrent allocation of these blocks that are being discarded. So now we unmap the block, issue passdown discards, and the immediately increment ref counts for regions that have been discarded via passed down (this is safe because allocation occurs within the same thread). We then decrement ref counts once the passdown discard IO is complete -- signaling these blocks may now be allocated.

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 a race condition between discarding and provisioning a block The discard passdown was being issued after the block was unmapped, which meant the block could be reprovisioned whilst the passdown discard was still in flight. We can only identify unshared blocks (safe to do a passdown a discard to) once they're unmapped and their ref count hits zero. Block ref counts are now used to guard against concurrent allocation of these blocks that are being discarded. So now we unmap the block, issue passdown discards, and the immediately increment ref counts for regions that have been discarded via passed down (this is safe because allocation occurs within the same thread). We then decrement ref counts once the passdown discard IO is complete -- signaling these blocks may now be allocated.

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. It is important that we synchronize the pool mode when it is changed otherwise the pool may experience and unexpected mode transition on the next resume (especially if there was no new table load).

locking/atomics: COCCINELLE/treewide: Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() patterns to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the coccinelle script shown below and apply its output. For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in churn. However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following coccinelle script: ---- // Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and // WRITE_ONCE() // $ make coccicheck COCCI=/home/mark/once.cocci SPFLAGS="--include-headers" MODE=patch virtual patch @ depends on patch @ expression E1, E2; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E1) = E2 + WRITE_ONCE(E1, E2) @ depends on patch @ expression E; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E) + READ_ONCE(E) ---- Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

dm thin: re-establish read-only state when switching to fail mode If the thin-pool transitioned to fail mode and the thin-pool's table were reloaded for some reason: the new table's default pool mode would be read-write, though it will transition to fail mode during resume. When the pool mode transitions directly from PM_WRITE to PM_FAIL we need to re-establish the intermediate read-only state in both the metadata and persistent-data block manager (as is usually done with the normal pool mode transition sequence: PM_WRITE -> PM_READ_ONLY -> PM_FAIL).

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 metadata: try to avoid ever aborting transactions Committing a transaction can consume some metadata of it's own, we now reserve a small amount of metadata to cover this. Free metadata reported by the kernel will not include this reserve. If any of the reserve has been used after a commit we enter a new internal state PM_OUT_OF_METADATA_SPACE. This is reported as PM_READ_ONLY, so no userland changes are needed. If the metadata device is resized the pool will move back to PM_WRITE. These changes mean we never need to abort and rollback a transaction due to running out of metadata space. This is particularly important because there have been a handful of reports of data corruption against DM thin-provisioning that can all be attributed to the thin-pool having ran out of metadata space.

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.

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.

This patch eliminates problems like the following (as seen on really fast PCIe SSD storage when transitioning the pool's mode from PM_READ_ONLY to PM_WRITE): kernel: device-mapper: thin: 253:2: reached low water mark for data device: sending event. kernel: device-mapper: thin: 253:2: no free data space available. kernel: device-mapper: thin: 253:2: switching pool to read-only mode kernel: device-mapper: thin: 253:2: switching pool to write mode kernel: ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel: WARNING: CPU: 11 PID: 7564 at drivers/md/dm-thin.c:995 handle_unserviceable_bio+0x146/0x160 [dm_thin_pool]() ... kernel: Workqueue: dm-thin do_worker [dm_thin_pool] kernel: 00000000000003e3 ffff880308831cc8 ffffffff8152ebcb 00000000000003e3 kernel: 0000000000000000 ffff880308831d08 ffffffff8104c46c ffff88032502a800 kernel: ffff880036409000 ffff88030ec7ce00 0000000000000001 00000000ffffffc3 kernel: Call Trace: kernel: [<ffffffff8152ebcb>] dump_stack+0x49/0x5e kernel: [<ffffffff8104c46c>] warn_slowpath_common+0x8c/0xc0 kernel: [<ffffffff8104c4ba>] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 kernel: [<ffffffffa001e2c6>] handle_unserviceable_bio+0x146/0x160 [dm_thin_pool] kernel: [<ffffffffa001f276>] process_bio_read_only+0x136/0x180 [dm_thin_pool] kernel: [<ffffffffa0020b75>] process_deferred_bios+0xc5/0x230 [dm_thin_pool] kernel: [<ffffffffa0020d31>] do_worker+0x51/0x60 [dm_thin_pool] kernel: [<ffffffff81067823>] process_one_work+0x183/0x490 kernel: [<ffffffff81068c70>] worker_thread+0x120/0x3a0 kernel: [<ffffffff81068b50>] ? manage_workers+0x160/0x160 kernel: [<ffffffff8106e86e>] kthread+0xce/0xf0 kernel: [<ffffffff8106e7a0>] ? kthread_freezable_should_stop+0x70/0x70 kernel: [<ffffffff8153b3ec>] ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0 kernel: [<ffffffff8106e7a0>] ? kthread_freezable_should_stop+0x70/0x70 kernel: ---[ end trace 3f00528e08ffa55c ]--- kernel: device-mapper: thin: pool mode is PM_WRITE not PM_READ_ONLY like expected!? dm-thin.c:995 was the WARN_ON_ONCE(get_pool_mode(pool) != PM_READ_ONLY); at the top of handle_unserviceable_bio().

dm thin: synchronize the pool mode during suspend Commit b5330655 ("dm thin: handle metadata failures more consistently") increased potential for the pool's mode to be changed in response to metadata operation failures. 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. It is important that we synchronize the pool mode when it is changed otherwise the pool may experience and unexpected mode transition on the next resume (especially if there was no new table load).

dm thin: send event about thin-pool state change _after_ making it Sending a DM event before a thin-pool state change is about to happen is a bug. It wasn't realized until it became clear that userspace response to the event raced with the actual state change that the event was meant to notify about. Fix this by first updating internal thin-pool state to reflect what the DM event is being issued about. This fixes a long-standing racey/buggy userspace device-mapper-test-suite 'resize_io' test that would get an event but not find the state it was looking for -- so it would just go on to hang because no other events caused the test to reevaluate the thin-pool's state.

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.

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".

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.

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. 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: 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.

block: remove QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD Just use a non-zero max_discard_sectors as an indicator for discard support, similar to what is done for write zeroes. The only places where needs special attention is the RAID5 driver, which must clear discard support for security reasons by default, even if the default stacking rules would allow for it.

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.

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: 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.

This can cause crashes like the one reported here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1788596 where the kernel tries to issue a flush bio located in a structure that was already freed. Take the first step to simplifying the thin-pool's data device lifetime by disallowing changing it.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered: they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

dm thin: fix bug where bio that overwrites thin block ignores FUA When provisioning a new data block for a virtual block, either because the block was previously unallocated or because we are breaking sharing, if the whole block of data is being overwritten the bio that triggered the provisioning is issued immediately, skipping copying or zeroing of the data block. When this bio completes the new mapping is inserted in to the pool's metadata by process_prepared_mapping(), where the bio completion is signaled to the upper layers. This completion is signaled without first committing the metadata. If the bio in question has the REQ_FUA flag set and the system crashes right after its completion and before the next metadata commit, then the write is lost despite the REQ_FUA flag requiring that I/O completion for this request must only be signaled after the data has been committed to non-volatile storage. Fix this by deferring the completion of overwrite bios, with the REQ_FUA flag set, until after the metadata has been committed.

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: fix a race condition between discarding and provisioning a block The discard passdown was being issued after the block was unmapped, which meant the block could be reprovisioned whilst the passdown discard was still in flight. We can only identify unshared blocks (safe to do a passdown a discard to) once they're unmapped and their ref count hits zero. Block ref counts are now used to guard against concurrent allocation of these blocks that are being discarded. So now we unmap the block, issue passdown discards, and the immediately increment ref counts for regions that have been discarded via passed down (this is safe because allocation occurs within the same thread). We then decrement ref counts once the passdown discard IO is complete -- signaling these blocks may now be allocated. This fixes the potential for corruption that was reported here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2016-June/msg00311.html Reported-by: Dennis Yang <dennisyang@qnap.com> Signed-off-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

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: do not allow thin device activation while pool is suspended Otherwise IO could be issued to the pool while it is suspended. Care was taken to properly interlock between the thin and thin-pool targets when accessing the pool's 'suspended' flag.

dm thin: consistently return -ENOSPC if pool has run out of data space Commit 0a927c2f02 ("dm thin: return -ENOSPC when erroring retry list due to out of data space") was a step in the right direction but didn't go far enough. Add a new 'out_of_data_space' flag to 'struct pool' and set it if/when the pool runs of of data space. This fixes cell_error() and error_retry_list() to not blindly return -EIO. We cannot rely on the 'error_if_no_space' feature flag since it is transient (in that it can be reset once space is added, plus it only controls whether errors are issued, it doesn't reflect whether the pool is actually out of space).

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.

treewide: Use array_size() in vmalloc() The vmalloc() function has no 2-factor argument form, so multiplication factors need to be wrapped in array_size(). This patch replaces cases of: vmalloc(a * b) with: vmalloc(array_size(a, b)) as well as handling cases of: vmalloc(a * b * c) with: vmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c)) This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like: vmalloc(4 * 1024) though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion. Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were dropped, since they're redundant. The Coccinelle script used for this was: // Fix redundant parens around sizeof(). @@ type TYPE; expression THING, E; @@ ( vmalloc( - (sizeof(TYPE)) * E + sizeof(TYPE) * E , ...) | vmalloc( - (sizeof(THING)) * E + sizeof(THING) * E , ...) ) // Drop single-byte sizes and redundant parens. @@ expression COUNT; typedef u8; typedef __u8; @@ ( vmalloc( - sizeof(u8) * (COUNT) + COUNT , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(__u8) * (COUNT) + COUNT , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(char) * (COUNT) + COUNT , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(unsigned char) * (COUNT) + COUNT , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(u8) * COUNT + COUNT , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(__u8) * COUNT + COUNT , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(char) * COUNT + COUNT , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(unsigned char) * COUNT + COUNT , ...) ) // 2-factor product with sizeof(type/expression) and identifier or constant. @@ type TYPE; expression THING; identifier COUNT_ID; constant COUNT_CONST; @@ ( vmalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * (COUNT_ID) + array_size(COUNT_ID, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * COUNT_ID + array_size(COUNT_ID, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * (COUNT_CONST) + array_size(COUNT_CONST, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * COUNT_CONST + array_size(COUNT_CONST, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(THING) * (COUNT_ID) + array_size(COUNT_ID, sizeof(THING)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(THING) * COUNT_ID + array_size(COUNT_ID, sizeof(THING)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(THING) * (COUNT_CONST) + array_size(COUNT_CONST, sizeof(THING)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(THING) * COUNT_CONST + array_size(COUNT_CONST, sizeof(THING)) , ...) ) // 2-factor product, only identifiers. @@ identifier SIZE, COUNT; @@ vmalloc( - SIZE * COUNT + array_size(COUNT, SIZE) , ...) // 3-factor product with 1 sizeof(type) or sizeof(expression), with // redundant parens removed. @@ expression THING; identifier STRIDE, COUNT; type TYPE; @@ ( vmalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * (COUNT) * (STRIDE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * (COUNT) * STRIDE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * COUNT * (STRIDE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * COUNT * STRIDE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(THING) * (COUNT) * (STRIDE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(THING)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(THING) * (COUNT) * STRIDE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(THING)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(THING) * COUNT * (STRIDE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(THING)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(THING) * COUNT * STRIDE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(THING)) , ...) ) // 3-factor product with 2 sizeof(variable), with redundant parens removed. @@ expression THING1, THING2; identifier COUNT; type TYPE1, TYPE2; @@ ( vmalloc( - sizeof(TYPE1) * sizeof(TYPE2) * COUNT + array3_size(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE1), sizeof(TYPE2)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(TYPE1) * sizeof(THING2) * (COUNT) + array3_size(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE1), sizeof(TYPE2)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(THING1) * sizeof(THING2) * COUNT + array3_size(COUNT, sizeof(THING1), sizeof(THING2)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(THING1) * sizeof(THING2) * (COUNT) + array3_size(COUNT, sizeof(THING1), sizeof(THING2)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(TYPE1) * sizeof(THING2) * COUNT + array3_size(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE1), sizeof(THING2)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(TYPE1) * sizeof(THING2) * (COUNT) + array3_size(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE1), sizeof(THING2)) , ...) ) // 3-factor product, only identifiers, with redundant parens removed. @@ identifier STRIDE, SIZE, COUNT; @@ ( vmalloc( - (COUNT) * STRIDE * SIZE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) | vmalloc( - COUNT * (STRIDE) * SIZE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) | vmalloc( - COUNT * STRIDE * (SIZE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) | vmalloc( - (COUNT) * (STRIDE) * SIZE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) | vmalloc( - COUNT * (STRIDE) * (SIZE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) | vmalloc( - (COUNT) * STRIDE * (SIZE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) | vmalloc( - (COUNT) * (STRIDE) * (SIZE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) | vmalloc( - COUNT * STRIDE * SIZE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) ) // Any remaining multi-factor products, first at least 3-factor products // when they're not all constants... @@ expression E1, E2, E3; constant C1, C2, C3; @@ ( vmalloc(C1 * C2 * C3, ...) | vmalloc( - E1 * E2 * E3 + array3_size(E1, E2, E3) , ...) ) // And then all remaining 2 factors products when they're not all constants. @@ expression E1, E2; constant C1, C2; @@ ( vmalloc(C1 * C2, ...) | vmalloc( - E1 * E2 + array_size(E1, E2) , ...) ) Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

dm thin: Flush data device before committing metadata The thin provisioning target maintains per thin device mappings that map virtual blocks to data blocks in the data device. When we write to a shared block, in case of internal snapshots, or provision a new block, in case of external snapshots, we copy the shared block to a new data block (COW), update the mapping for the relevant virtual block and then issue the write to the new data block. Suppose the data device has a volatile write-back cache and the following sequence of events occur: 1. We write to a shared block 2. A new data block is allocated 3. We copy the shared block to the new data block using kcopyd (COW) 4. We insert the new mapping for the virtual block in the btree for that thin device. 5. The commit timeout expires and we commit the metadata, that now includes the new mapping from step (4). 6. The system crashes and the data device's cache has not been flushed, meaning that the COWed data are lost. The next time we read that virtual block of the thin device we read it from the data block allocated in step (2), since the metadata have been successfully committed. The data are lost due to the crash, so we read garbage instead of the old, shared data. This has the following implications: 1. In case of writes to shared blocks, with size smaller than the pool's block size (which means we first copy the whole block and then issue the smaller write), we corrupt data that the user never touched. 2. In case of writes to shared blocks, with size equal to the device's logical block size, we fail to provide atomic sector writes. When the system recovers the user will read garbage from that sector instead of the old data or the new data. 3. Even for writes to shared blocks, with size equal to the pool's block size (overwrites), after the system recovers, the written sectors will contain garbage instead of a random mix of sectors containing either old data or new data, thus we fail again to provide atomic sectors writes. 4. Even when the user flushes the thin device, because we first commit the metadata and then pass down the flush, the same risk for corruption exists (if the system crashes after the metadata have been committed but before the flush is passed down to the data device.) The only case which is unaffected is that of writes with size equal to the pool's block size and with the FUA flag set. But, because FUA writes trigger metadata commits, this case can trigger the corruption indirectly. Moreover, apart from internal and external snapshots, the same issue exists for newly provisioned blocks, when block zeroing is enabled. After the system recovers the provisioned blocks might contain garbage instead of zeroes. To solve this and avoid the potential data corruption we flush the pool's data device **before** committing its metadata. This ensures that the data blocks of any newly inserted mappings are properly written to non-volatile storage and won't be lost in case of a crash.

Even when the user flushes the thin device, because we first commit the metadata and then pass down the flush, the same risk for corruption exists (if the system crashes after the metadata have been committed but before the flush is passed down to the data device.) The only case which is unaffected is that of writes with size equal to the pool's block size and with the FUA flag set. But, because FUA writes trigger metadata commits, this case can trigger the corruption indirectly. Moreover, apart from internal and external snapshots, the same issue exists for newly provisioned blocks, when block zeroing is enabled. After the system recovers the provisioned blocks might contain garbage instead of zeroes. To solve this and avoid the potential data corruption we flush the pool's data device **before** committing its metadata. This ensures that the data blocks of any newly inserted mappings are properly written to non-volatile storage and won't be lost in case of a crash.

dm thin: Flush data device before committing metadata The thin provisioning target maintains per thin device mappings that map virtual blocks to data blocks in the data device. When we write to a shared block, in case of internal snapshots, or provision a new block, in case of external snapshots, we copy the shared block to a new data block (COW), update the mapping for the relevant virtual block and then issue the write to the new data block. Suppose the data device has a volatile write-back cache and the following sequence of events occur: 1. We write to a shared block 2. A new data block is allocated 3. We copy the shared block to the new data block using kcopyd (COW) 4. We insert the new mapping for the virtual block in the btree for that thin device. 5. The commit timeout expires and we commit the metadata, that now includes the new mapping from step (4). 6. The system crashes and the data device's cache has not been flushed, meaning that the COWed data are lost. The next time we read that virtual block of the thin device we read it from the data block allocated in step (2), since the metadata have been successfully committed. The data are lost due to the crash, so we read garbage instead of the old, shared data. This has the following implications: 1. In case of writes to shared blocks, with size smaller than the pool's block size (which means we first copy the whole block and then issue the smaller write), we corrupt data that the user never touched. 2. In case of writes to shared blocks, with size equal to the device's logical block size, we fail to provide atomic sector writes. When the system recovers the user will read garbage from that sector instead of the old data or the new data. 3. Even for writes to shared blocks, with size equal to the pool's block size (overwrites), after the system recovers, the written sectors will contain garbage instead of a random mix of sectors containing either old data or new data, thus we fail again to provide atomic sectors writes. 4. Even when the user flushes the thin device, because we first commit the metadata and then pass down the flush, the same risk for corruption exists (if the system crashes after the metadata have been committed but before the flush is passed down to the data device.) The only case which is unaffected is that of writes with size equal to the pool's block size and with the FUA flag set. But, because FUA writes trigger metadata commits, this case can trigger the corruption indirectly.

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.

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).

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>

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.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered: they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

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.

dm thin: fix deadlock when swapping to thin device This is an already known issue that dm-thin volume cannot be used as swap, otherwise a deadlock may happen when dm-thin internal memory demand triggers swap I/O on the dm-thin volume itself. But thanks to commit a666e5c05e7c ("dm: fix deadlock when swapping to encrypted device"), the limit_swap_bios target flag can also be used for dm-thin to avoid the recursive I/O when it is used as swap. Fix is to simply set ti->limit_swap_bios to true in both pool_ctr() and thin_ctr(). In my test, I create a dm-thin volume /dev/vg/swap and use it as swap device. Then I run fio on another dm-thin volume /dev/vg/main and use large --blocksize to trigger swap I/O onto /dev/vg/swap. The following fio command line is used in my test, fio --name recursive-swap-io --lockmem 1 --iodepth 128 \ --ioengine libaio --filename /dev/vg/main --rw randrw \ --blocksize 1M --numjobs 32 --time_based --runtime=12h Without this fix, the whole system can be locked up within 15 seconds. With this fix, there is no any deadlock or hung task observed after 2 hours of running fio. Furthermore, if blocksize is changed from 1M to 128M, after around 30 seconds fio has no visible I/O, and the out-of-memory killer message shows up in kernel message. After around 20 minutes all fio processes are killed and the whole system is back to being alive. This is exactly what is expected when recursive I/O happens on dm-thin volume when it is used as swap.

dm bio prison v1: improve concurrent IO performance Split the bio prison into multiple regions, with a separate rbtree and associated lock for each region. To get fast bio prison locking and not damage the performance of discards too much the bio-prison now stipulates that discards should not cross a BIO_PRISON_MAX_RANGE boundary. Because the range of a key (block_end - block_begin) must not exceed BIO_PRISON_MAX_RANGE: break_up_discard_bio() now ensures the data range reflected in PHYSICAL key doesn't exceed BIO_PRISON_MAX_RANGE. And splitting the thin target's discards (handled with VIRTUAL key) is achieved by updating dm-thin.c to set limits->max_discard_sectors in terms of BIO_PRISON_MAX_RANGE _and_ setting the thin and thin-pool targets' max_discard_granularity to true.

block: replace bi_bdev with a gendisk pointer and partitions index This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code). For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists once per block device. But given that the block layer also does partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is used for said remapping in generic_make_request. Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all over the stack.

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 metadata: try to avoid ever aborting transactions Committing a transaction can consume some metadata of it's own, we now reserve a small amount of metadata to cover this. Free metadata reported by the kernel will not include this reserve. If any of the reserve has been used after a commit we enter a new internal state PM_OUT_OF_METADATA_SPACE. This is reported as PM_READ_ONLY, so no userland changes are needed. If the metadata device is resized the pool will move back to PM_WRITE. These changes mean we never need to abort and rollback a transaction due to running out of metadata space. This is particularly important because there have been a handful of reports of data corruption against DM thin-provisioning that can all be attributed to the thin-pool having ran out of metadata space.

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 thin metadata: try to avoid ever aborting transactions Committing a transaction can consume some metadata of it's own, we now reserve a small amount of metadata to cover this. Free metadata reported by the kernel will not include this reserve. If any of the reserve has been used after a commit we enter a new internal state PM_OUT_OF_METADATA_SPACE. This is reported as PM_READ_ONLY, so no userland changes are needed. If the metadata device is resized the pool will move back to PM_WRITE. These changes mean we never need to abort and rollback a transaction due to running out of metadata space. This is particularly important because there have been a handful of reports of data corruption against DM thin-provisioning that can all be attributed to the thin-pool having ran out of metadata space.

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 metadata: try to avoid ever aborting transactions Committing a transaction can consume some metadata of it's own, we now reserve a small amount of metadata to cover this. Free metadata reported by the kernel will not include this reserve. If any of the reserve has been used after a commit we enter a new internal state PM_OUT_OF_METADATA_SPACE. This is reported as PM_READ_ONLY, so no userland changes are needed. If the metadata device is resized the pool will move back to PM_WRITE. These changes mean we never need to abort and rollback a transaction due to running out of metadata space. This is particularly important because there have been a handful of reports of data corruption against DM thin-provisioning that can all be attributed to the thin-pool having ran out of metadata space.

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 thin: include metadata_low_watermark threshold in pool status The metadata low watermark threshold is set by the kernel. But the kernel depends on userspace to extend the thinpool metadata device when the threshold is crossed. Since the metadata low watermark threshold is not visible to userspace, upon receiving an event, userspace cannot tell that the kernel wants the metadata device extended, instead of some other eventing condition. Making it visible (but not settable) enables userspace to affirmatively know the kernel is asking for a metadata device extension, by comparing metadata_low_watermark against nr_free_blocks_metadata, also reported in status. Current solutions like dmeventd have their own thresholds for extending the data and metadata devices, and both devices are checked against their thresholds on each event. This lessens the value of the kernel-set threshold, since userspace will either extend the metadata device sooner, when receiving another event; or will receive the metadata lowater event and do nothing, if dmeventd's threshold is less than the kernel's. (This second case is dangerous. The metadata lowater event will not be re-sent, so no further event will be generated before the metadata device is out if space, unless some other event causes userspace to recheck its thresholds.)

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: 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.

If max_hw_discard_sectors exceeds dm's BIO_PRISON_MAX_RANGE, then dm_cell_key_has_valid_range() will trigger the warning with: WARN_ON_ONCE(key->block_end - key->block_begin > BIO_PRISON_MAX_RANGE) Aside from this warning, the discard will 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: 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).

Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' | xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/' to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL argument to just drop that argument. Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered: they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically. For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate conversion. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

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 thin: fix deadlock when swapping to thin device This is an already known issue that dm-thin volume cannot be used as swap, otherwise a deadlock may happen when dm-thin internal memory demand triggers swap I/O on the dm-thin volume itself. But thanks to commit a666e5c05e7c ("dm: fix deadlock when swapping to encrypted device"), the limit_swap_bios target flag can also be used for dm-thin to avoid the recursive I/O when it is used as swap. Fix is to simply set ti->limit_swap_bios to true in both pool_ctr() and thin_ctr(). In my test, I create a dm-thin volume /dev/vg/swap and use it as swap device. Then I run fio on another dm-thin volume /dev/vg/main and use large --blocksize to trigger swap I/O onto /dev/vg/swap. The following fio command line is used in my test, fio --name recursive-swap-io --lockmem 1 --iodepth 128 \ --ioengine libaio --filename /dev/vg/main --rw randrw \ --blocksize 1M --numjobs 32 --time_based --runtime=12h Without this fix, the whole system can be locked up within 15 seconds. With this fix, there is no any deadlock or hung task observed after 2 hours of running fio. Furthermore, if blocksize is changed from 1M to 128M, after around 30 seconds fio has no visible I/O, and the out-of-memory killer message shows up in kernel message. After around 20 minutes all fio processes are killed and the whole system is back to being alive. This is exactly what is expected when recursive I/O happens on dm-thin volume when it is used as swap.

dm bio prison v1: improve concurrent IO performance Split the bio prison into multiple regions, with a separate rbtree and associated lock for each region. To get fast bio prison locking and not damage the performance of discards too much the bio-prison now stipulates that discards should not cross a BIO_PRISON_MAX_RANGE boundary. Because the range of a key (block_end - block_begin) must not exceed BIO_PRISON_MAX_RANGE: break_up_discard_bio() now ensures the data range reflected in PHYSICAL key doesn't exceed BIO_PRISON_MAX_RANGE. And splitting the thin target's discards (handled with VIRTUAL key) is achieved by updating dm-thin.c to set limits->max_discard_sectors in terms of BIO_PRISON_MAX_RANGE _and_ setting the thin and thin-pool targets' max_discard_granularity to true.

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: 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.

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: 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".

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 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.

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 ...). 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: prepare to support discard This patch contains the ground work needed for dm-thin to support discard. - Adds endio function that replaces shared_read_endio. - Introduce an explicit 'quiesced' flag into the new_mapping structure. Before, this was implicitly indicated by m->list being empty. - The map_info->ptr remains constant for the duration of a bio's trip through the thin target. Make it easier to reason about it.

dm thin: fix noflush suspend IO queueing i) by the time DM core calls the postsuspend hook the dm_noflush flag has been cleared. So the old thin_postsuspend did nothing. We need to use the presuspend hook instead. ii) There was a race between bios leaving DM core and arriving in the deferred queue. thin_presuspend now sets a 'requeue' flag causing all bios destined for that thin to be requeued back to DM core. Then it requeues all held IO, and all IO on the deferred queue (destined for that thin). Finally postsuspend clears the 'requeue' flag.

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 '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.
