License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

md/raid5: let multiple devices of stripe_head share page In current implementation, grow_buffers() uses alloc_page() to allocate the buffers for each stripe_head, i.e. allocate a page for each dev[i] in stripe_head. After setting stripe_size as a configurable value by writing sysfs entry, it means that we always allocate 64K buffers, but just use 4K of them when stripe_size is 4K in 64KB arm64. To avoid wasting memory, we try to let multiple sh->dev share one real page. That means, multiple sh->dev[i].page will point to the only page with different offset. Example of 64K PAGE_SIZE and 4K stripe_size as following: 64K PAGE_SIZE +---+---+---+---+------------------------------+ | | | | | | | | | | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+------------------------------+ ^ ^ ^ ^ | | | +----------------------------+ | | | | | | +-------------------+ | | | | | | +----------+ | | | | | | +-+ | | | | | | | +-----+-----+------+-----+------+-----+------+------+ sh | offset(0) | offset(4K) | offset(8K) | offset(12K) | + +-----------+------------+------------+-------------+ +----> dev[0].page dev[1].page dev[2].page dev[3].page A new 'pages' array will be added into stripe_head to record shared page used by this stripe_head. Allocate them when grow_buffers() and free them when shrink_buffers(). After trying to share page, the users of sh->dev[i].page need to take care of the related page offset: page of issued bio and page passed to xor compution functions. But thanks for previous different page offset supported. Here, we just need to set correct dev[i].offset. Signed-off-by: Yufen Yu <yuyufen@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Song Liu <songliubraving@fb.com>

raid5: relieve lock contention in get_active_stripe() get_active_stripe() is the last place we have lock contention. It has two paths. One is stripe isn't found and new stripe is allocated, the other is stripe is found. The first path basically calls __find_stripe and init_stripe. It accesses conf->generation, conf->previous_raid_disks, conf->raid_disks, conf->prev_chunk_sectors, conf->chunk_sectors, conf->max_degraded, conf->prev_algo, conf->algorithm, the stripe_hashtbl and inactive_list. Except stripe_hashtbl and inactive_list, other fields are changed very rarely. With this patch, we split inactive_list and add new hash locks. Each free stripe belongs to a specific inactive list. Which inactive list is determined by stripe's lock_hash. Note, even a stripe hasn't a sector assigned, it has a lock_hash assigned. Stripe's inactive list is protected by a hash lock, which is determined by it's lock_hash too. The lock_hash is derivied from current stripe_hashtbl hash, which guarantees any stripe_hashtbl list will be assigned to a specific lock_hash, so we can use new hash lock to protect stripe_hashtbl list too. The goal of the new hash locks introduced is we can only use the new locks in the first path of get_active_stripe(). Since we have several hash locks, lock contention is relieved significantly. The first path of get_active_stripe() accesses other fields, since they are changed rarely, changing them now need take conf->device_lock and all hash locks. For a slow path, this isn't a problem. If we need lock device_lock and hash lock, we always lock hash lock first. The tricky part is release_stripe and friends. We need take device_lock first. Neil's suggestion is we put inactive stripes to a temporary list and readd it to inactive_list after device_lock is released. In this way, we add stripes to temporary list with device_lock hold and remove stripes from the list with hash lock hold. So we don't allow concurrent access to the temporary list, which means we need allocate temporary list for all participants of release_stripe. One downside is free stripes are maintained in their inactive list, they can't across between the lists. By default, we have total 256 stripes and 8 lists, so each list will have 32 stripes. It's possible one list has free stripe but other list hasn't. The chance should be rare because stripes allocation are even distributed. And we can always allocate more stripes for cache, several mega bytes memory isn't a big deal. This completely removes the lock contention of the first path of get_active_stripe(). It slows down the second code path a little bit though because we now need takes two locks, but since the hash lock isn't contended, the overhead should be quite small (several atomic instructions). The second path of get_active_stripe() (basically sequential write or big request size randwrite) still has lock contentions.

raid5: offload stripe handle to workqueue This is another attempt to create multiple threads to handle raid5 stripes. This time I use workqueue. raid5 handles request (especially write) in stripe unit. A stripe is page size aligned/long and acrosses all disks. Writing to any disk sector, raid5 runs a state machine for the corresponding stripe, which includes reading some disks of the stripe, calculating parity, and writing some disks of the stripe. The state machine is running in raid5d thread currently. Since there is only one thread, it doesn't scale well for high speed storage. An obvious solution is multi-threading. To get better performance, we have some requirements: a. locality. stripe corresponding to request submitted from one cpu is better handled in thread in local cpu or local node. local cpu is preferred but some times could be a bottleneck, for example, parity calculation is too heavy. local node running has wide adaptability. b. configurablity. Different setup of raid5 array might need diffent configuration. Especially the thread number. More threads don't always mean better performance because of lock contentions. My original implementation is creating some kernel threads. There are interfaces to control which cpu's stripe each thread should handle. And userspace can set affinity of the threads. This provides biggest flexibility and configurability. But it's hard to use and apparently a new thread pool implementation is disfavor. Recent workqueue improvement is quite promising. unbound workqueue will be bound to numa node. If WQ_SYSFS is set in workqueue, there are sysfs option to do affinity setting. For example, we can only include one HT sibling in affinity. Since work is non-reentrant by default, and we can control running thread number by limiting dispatched work_struct number. In this patch, I created several stripe worker group. A group is a numa node. stripes from cpus of one node will be added to a group list. Workqueue thread of one node will only handle stripes of worker group of the node. In this way, stripe handling has numa node locality. And as I said, we can control thread number by limiting dispatched work_struct number. The work_struct callback function handles several stripes in one run. A typical work queue usage is to run one unit in each work_struct. In raid5 case, the unit is a stripe. But we can't do that: a. Though handling a stripe doesn't need lock because of reference accounting and stripe isn't in any list, queuing a work_struct for each stripe will make workqueue lock contended very heavily. b. blk_start_plug()/blk_finish_plug() should surround stripe handle, as we might dispatch request. If each work_struct only handles one stripe, such block plug is meaningless. This implementation can't do very fine grained configuration. But the numa binding is most popular usage model, should be enough for most workloads. Note: since we have only one stripe queue, switching to multi-thread might decrease request size dispatching down to low level layer. The impact depends on thread number, raid configuration and workload. So multi-thread raid5 might not be proper for all setups. Changes V1 -> V2: 1. remove WQ_NON_REENTRANT 2. disabling multi-threading by default 3.

RAID5: batch adjacent full stripe write stripe cache is 4k size. Even adjacent full stripe writes are handled in 4k unit. Idealy we should use big size for adjacent full stripe writes. Bigger stripe cache size means less stripes runing in the state machine so can reduce cpu overhead. And also bigger size can cause bigger IO size dispatched to under layer disks. With below patch, we will automatically batch adjacent full stripe write together. Such stripes will be added to the batch list. Only the first stripe of the list will be put to handle_list and so run handle_stripe(). Some steps of handle_stripe() are extended to cover all stripes of the list, including ops_run_io, ops_run_biodrain and so on. With this patch, we have less stripes running in handle_stripe() and we send IO of whole stripe list together to increase IO size. Stripes added to a batch list have some limitations. A batch list can only include full stripe write and can't cross chunk boundary to make sure stripes have the same parity disks. Stripes in a batch list must be in the same state (no written, toread and so on). If a stripe is in a batch list, all new read/write to add_stripe_bio will be blocked to overlap conflict till the batch list is handled. The limitations will make sure stripes in a batch list be in exactly the same state in the life circly. I did test running 160k randwrite in a RAID5 array with 32k chunk size and 6 PCIe SSD. This patch improves around 30% performance and IO size to under layer disk is exactly 32k. I also run a 4k randwrite test in the same array to make sure the performance isn't changed with the patch.

raid5: add basic stripe log This introduces a simple log for raid5. Data/parity writing to raid array first writes to the log, then write to raid array disks. If crash happens, we can recovery data from the log. This can speed up raid resync and fix write hole issue. The log structure is pretty simple. Data/meta data is stored in block unit, which is 4k generally. It has only one type of meta data block. The meta data block can track 3 types of data, stripe data, stripe parity and flush block. MD superblock will point to the last valid meta data block. Each meta data block has checksum/seq number, so recovery can scan the log correctly. We store a checksum of stripe data/parity to the metadata block, so meta data and stripe data/parity can be written to log disk together. otherwise, meta data write must wait till stripe data/parity is finished. For stripe data, meta data block will record stripe data sector and size. Currently the size is always 4k. This meta data record can be made simpler if we just fix write hole (eg, we can record data of a stripe's different disks together), but this format can be extended to support caching in the future, which must record data address/size. For stripe parity, meta data block will record stripe sector. It's size should be 4k (for raid5) or 8k (for raid6). We always store p parity first. This format should work for caching too. flush block indicates a stripe is in raid array disks. Fixing write hole doesn't need this type of meta data, it's for caching extension.

md/r5cache: write-out phase and reclaim support There are two limited resources, stripe cache and journal disk space. For better performance, we priotize reclaim of full stripe writes. To free up more journal space, we free earliest data on the journal. In current implementation, reclaim happens when: 1. Periodically (every R5C_RECLAIM_WAKEUP_INTERVAL, 30 seconds) reclaim if there is no reclaim in the past 5 seconds. 2. when there are R5C_FULL_STRIPE_FLUSH_BATCH (256) cached full stripes, or cached stripes is enough for a full stripe (chunk size / 4k) (r5c_check_cached_full_stripe) 3. when there is pressure on stripe cache (r5c_check_stripe_cache_usage) 4. when there is pressure on journal space (r5l_write_stripe, r5c_cache_data) r5c_do_reclaim() contains new logic of reclaim. For stripe cache: When stripe cache pressure is high (more than 3/4 stripes are cached, or there is empty inactive lists), flush all full stripe. If fewer than R5C_RECLAIM_STRIPE_GROUP (NR_STRIPE_HASH_LOCKS * 2) full stripes are flushed, flush some paritial stripes. When stripe cache pressure is moderate (1/2 to 3/4 of stripes are cached), flush all full stripes. For log space: To avoid deadlock due to log space, we need to reserve enough space to flush cached data. The size of required log space depends on total number of cached stripes (stripe_in_journal_count). In current implementation, the writing-out phase automatically include pending data writes with parity writes (similar to write through case). Therefore, we need up to (conf->raid_disks + 1) pages for each cached stripe (1 page for meta data, raid_disks pages for all data and parity). r5c_log_required_to_flush_cache() calculates log space required to flush cache. In the following, we refer to the space calculated by r5c_log_required_to_flush_cache() as reclaim_required_space. Two flags are added to r5conf->cache_state: R5C_LOG_TIGHT and R5C_LOG_CRITICAL. R5C_LOG_TIGHT is set when free space on the log device is less than 3x of reclaim_required_space. R5C_LOG_CRITICAL is set when free space on the log device is less than 2x of reclaim_required_space. r5c_cache keeps all data in cache (not fully committed to RAID) in a list (stripe_in_journal_list). These stripes are in the order of their first appearance on the journal. So the log tail (last_checkpoint) should point to the journal_start of the first item in the list. When R5C_LOG_TIGHT is set, r5l_reclaim_thread starts flushing out stripes at the head of stripe_in_journal. When R5C_LOG_CRITICAL is set, the state machine only writes data that are already in the log device (in stripe_in_journal_list).

md: raid5_run_ops - run stripe operations outside sh->lock When the raid acceleration work was proposed, Neil laid out the following attack plan: 1/ move the xor and copy operations outside spin_lock(&sh->lock) 2/ find/implement an asynchronous offload api The raid5_run_ops routine uses the asynchronous offload api (async_tx) and the stripe_operations member of a stripe_head to carry out xor+copy operations asynchronously, outside the lock.

md/raid5: let multiple devices of stripe_head share page In current implementation, grow_buffers() uses alloc_page() to allocate the buffers for each stripe_head, i.e. allocate a page for each dev[i] in stripe_head. After setting stripe_size as a configurable value by writing sysfs entry, it means that we always allocate 64K buffers, but just use 4K of them when stripe_size is 4K in 64KB arm64. To avoid wasting memory, we try to let multiple sh->dev share one real page. That means, multiple sh->dev[i].page will point to the only page with different offset. Example of 64K PAGE_SIZE and 4K stripe_size as following: 64K PAGE_SIZE +---+---+---+---+------------------------------+ | | | | | | | | | | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+------------------------------+ ^ ^ ^ ^ | | | +----------------------------+ | | | | | | +-------------------+ | | | | | | +----------+ | | | | | | +-+ | | | | | | | +-----+-----+------+-----+------+-----+------+------+ sh | offset(0) | offset(4K) | offset(8K) | offset(12K) | + +-----------+------------+------------+-------------+ +----> dev[0].page dev[1].page dev[2].page dev[3].page A new 'pages' array will be added into stripe_head to record shared page used by this stripe_head. Allocate them when grow_buffers() and free them when shrink_buffers(). After trying to share page, the users of sh->dev[i].page need to take care of the related page offset: page of issued bio and page passed to xor compution functions. But thanks for previous different page offset supported. Here, we just need to set correct dev[i].offset. Signed-off-by: Yufen Yu <yuyufen@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Song Liu <songliubraving@fb.com>

raid5: add basic stripe log This introduces a simple log for raid5. Data/parity writing to raid array first writes to the log, then write to raid array disks. If crash happens, we can recovery data from the log. This can speed up raid resync and fix write hole issue. The log structure is pretty simple. Data/meta data is stored in block unit, which is 4k generally. It has only one type of meta data block. The meta data block can track 3 types of data, stripe data, stripe parity and flush block. MD superblock will point to the last valid meta data block. Each meta data block has checksum/seq number, so recovery can scan the log correctly. We store a checksum of stripe data/parity to the metadata block, so meta data and stripe data/parity can be written to log disk together. otherwise, meta data write must wait till stripe data/parity is finished. For stripe data, meta data block will record stripe data sector and size. Currently the size is always 4k. This meta data record can be made simpler if we just fix write hole (eg, we can record data of a stripe's different disks together), but this format can be extended to support caching in the future, which must record data address/size. For stripe parity, meta data block will record stripe sector. It's size should be 4k (for raid5) or 8k (for raid6). We always store p parity first. This format should work for caching too. flush block indicates a stripe is in raid array disks. Fixing write hole doesn't need this type of meta data, it's for caching extension.

md/r5cache: caching phase of r5cache As described in previous patch, write back cache operates in two phases: caching and writing-out. The caching phase works as: 1. write data to journal (r5c_handle_stripe_dirtying, r5c_cache_data) 2. call bio_endio (r5c_handle_data_cached, r5c_return_dev_pending_writes). Then the writing-out phase is as: 1. Mark the stripe as write-out (r5c_make_stripe_write_out) 2. Calcualte parity (reconstruct or RMW) 3. Write parity (and maybe some other data) to journal device 4. Write data and parity to RAID disks This patch implements caching phase. The cache is integrated with stripe cache of raid456. It leverages code of r5l_log to write data to journal device. Writing-out phase of the cache is implemented in the next patch. With r5cache, write operation does not wait for parity calculation and write out, so the write latency is lower (1 write to journal device vs. read and then write to raid disks). Also, r5cache will reduce RAID overhead (multipile IO due to read-modify-write of parity) and provide more opportunities of full stripe writes. This patch adds 2 flags to stripe_head.state: - STRIPE_R5C_PARTIAL_STRIPE, - STRIPE_R5C_FULL_STRIPE, Instead of inactive_list, stripes with cached data are tracked in r5conf->r5c_full_stripe_list and r5conf->r5c_partial_stripe_list. STRIPE_R5C_FULL_STRIPE and STRIPE_R5C_PARTIAL_STRIPE are flags for stripes in these lists. Note: stripes in r5c_full/partial_stripe_list are not considered as "active". For RMW, the code allocates an extra page for each data block being updated. This is stored in r5dev->orig_page and the old data is read into it. Then the prexor calculation subtracts ->orig_page from the parity block, and the reconstruct calculation adds the ->page data back into the parity block. r5cache naturally excludes SkipCopy. When the array has write back cache, async_copy_data() will not skip copy. There are some known limitations of the cache implementation: 1. Write cache only covers full page writes (R5_OVERWRITE). Writes of smaller granularity are write through. 2. Only one log io (sh->log_io) for each stripe at anytime. Later writes for the same stripe have to wait. This can be improved by moving log_io to r5dev. 3. With writeback cache, read path must enter state machine, which is a significant bottleneck for some workloads. 4. There is no per stripe checkpoint (with r5l_payload_flush) in the log, so recovery code has to replay more than necessary data (sometimes all the log from last_checkpoint). This reduces availability of the array.

MD: raid5 trim support Discard for raid4/5/6 has limitation. If discard request size is small, we do discard for one disk, but we need calculate parity and write parity disk. To correctly calculate parity, zero_after_discard must be guaranteed. Even it's true, we need do discard for one disk but write another disks, which makes the parity disks wear out fast. This doesn't make sense. So an efficient discard for raid4/5/6 should discard all data disks and parity disks, which requires the write pattern to be (A, A+chunk_size, A+chunk_size*2...). If A's size is smaller than chunk_size, such pattern is almost impossible in practice. So in this patch, I only handle the case that A's size equals to chunk_size. That is discard request should be aligned to stripe size and its size is multiple of stripe size. Since we can only handle request with specific alignment and size (or part of the request fitting stripes), we can't guarantee zero_after_discard even zero_after_discard is true in low level drives. The block layer doesn't send down correctly aligned requests even correct discard alignment is set, so I must filter out. For raid4/5/6 parity calculation, if data is 0, parity is 0. So if zero_after_discard is true for all disks, data is consistent after discard. Otherwise, data might be lost. Let's consider a scenario: discard a stripe, write data to one disk and write parity disk. The stripe could be still inconsistent till then depending on using data from other data disks or parity disks to calculate new parity. If the disk is broken, we can't restore it. So in this patch, we only enable discard support if all disks have zero_after_discard. If discard fails in one disk, we face the similar inconsistent issue above. The patch will make discard follow the same path as normal write request. If discard fails, a resync will be scheduled to make the data consistent. This isn't good to have extra writes, but data consistency is important. If a subsequent read/write request hits raid5 cache of a discarded stripe, the discarded dev page should have zero filled, so the data is consistent. This patch will always zero dev page for discarded request stripe. This isn't optimal because discard request doesn't need such payload. Next patch will avoid it.

md/raid5: fix interaction of 'replace' and 'recovery'. If a device in a RAID4/5/6 is being replaced while another is being recovered, then the writes to the replacement device currently don't happen, resulting in corruption when the replacement completes and the new drive takes over. This is because the replacement writes are only triggered when 's.replacing' is set and not when the similar 's.sync' is set (which is the case during resync and recovery - it means all devices need to be read). So schedule those writes when s.replacing is set as well. In this case we cannot use "STRIPE_INSYNC" to record that the replacement has happened as that is needed for recording that any parity calculation is complete. So introduce STRIPE_REPLACED to record if the replacement has happened. For safety we should also check that STRIPE_COMPUTE_RUN is not set. This has a similar effect to the "s.locked == 0" test. The latter ensure that now IO has been flagged but not started. The former checks if any parity calculation has been flagged by not started. We must wait for both of these to complete before triggering the 'replace'. Add a similar test to the subsequent check for "are we finished yet". This possibly isn't needed (is subsumed in the STRIPE_INSYNC test), but it makes it more obvious that the REPLACE will happen before we think we are finished. Finally if a NeedReplace device is not UPTODATE then that is an error. We really must trigger a warning. This bug was introduced in commit 9a3e1101b827a59ac9036a672f5fa8d5279d0fe2 (md/raid5: detect and handle replacements during recovery.) which introduced replacement for raid5.

md/raid5: ensure sync and DISCARD don't happen at the same time. A number of problems can occur due to races between resync/recovery and discard. - if sync_request calls handle_stripe() while a discard is happening on the stripe, it might call handle_stripe_clean_event before all of the individual discard requests have completed (so some devices are still locked, but not all). Since commit ca64cae96037de16e4af92678814f5d4bf0c1c65 md/raid5: Make sure we clear R5_Discard when discard is finished. this will cause R5_Discard to be cleared for the parity device, so handle_stripe_clean_event() will not be called when the other devices do become unlocked, so their ->written will not be cleared. This ultimately leads to a WARN_ON in init_stripe and a lock-up. - If handle_stripe_clean_event() does clear R5_UPTODATE at an awkward time for resync, it can lead to s->uptodate being less than disks in handle_parity_checks5(), which triggers a BUG (because it is one). So: - keep R5_Discard on the parity device until all other devices have completed their discard request - make sure we don't try to have a 'discard' and a 'sync' action at the same time. This involves a new stripe flag to we know when a 'discard' is happening, and the use of R5_Overlap on the parity disk so when a discard is wanted while a sync is active, so we know to wake up the discard at the appropriate time. Discard support for RAID5 was added in 3.7, so this is suitable for any -stable kernel since 3.7.

md: raid5_run_ops - run stripe operations outside sh->lock When the raid acceleration work was proposed, Neil laid out the following attack plan: 1/ move the xor and copy operations outside spin_lock(&sh->lock) 2/ find/implement an asynchronous offload api The raid5_run_ops routine uses the asynchronous offload api (async_tx) and the stripe_operations member of a stripe_head to carry out xor+copy operations asynchronously, outside the lock. To perform operations outside the lock a new set of state flags is needed to track new requests, in-flight requests, and completed requests. In this new model handle_stripe is tasked with scanning the stripe_head for work, updating the stripe_operations structure, and finally dropping the lock and calling raid5_run_ops for processing. The following flags outline the requests that handle_stripe can make of raid5_run_ops: STRIPE_OP_BIOFILL - copy data into request buffers to satisfy a read request STRIPE_OP_COMPUTE_BLK - generate a missing block in the cache from the other blocks STRIPE_OP_PREXOR - subtract existing data as part of the read-modify-write process STRIPE_OP_BIODRAIN - copy data out of request buffers to satisfy a write request STRIPE_OP_POSTXOR - recalculate parity for new data that has entered the cache STRIPE_OP_CHECK - verify that the parity is correct STRIPE_OP_IO - submit i/o to the member disks (note this was already performed outside the stripe lock, but it made sense to add it as an operation type The flow is: 1/ handle_stripe sets STRIPE_OP_* in sh->ops.pending 2/ raid5_run_ops reads sh->ops.pending, sets sh->ops.ack, and submits the operation to the async_tx api 3/ async_tx triggers the completion callback routine to set sh->ops.complete and release the stripe 4/ handle_stripe runs again to finish the operation and optionally submit new operations that were previously blocked Note this patch just defines raid5_run_ops, subsequent commits (one per major operation type) modify handle_stripe to take advantage of this routine.

md/raid5: set default stripe_size as 4096 In RAID5, if issued bio size is bigger than stripe_size, it will be split in the unit of stripe_size and process them one by one. Even for size less then stripe_size, RAID5 also request data from disk at least of stripe_size. Nowdays, stripe_size is equal to the value of PAGE_SIZE. Since filesystem usually issue bio in the unit of 4KB, there is no problem for PAGE_SIZE as 4KB. But, for 64KB PAGE_SIZE, bio from filesystem requests 4KB data while RAID5 issue IO at least stripe_size (64KB) each time. That will waste resource of disk bandwidth and compute xor. To avoding the waste, we want to make stripe_size configurable. This patch just set default stripe_size as 4096. User can also set the value bigger than 4KB for some special requirements, such as we know the issued io size is more than 4KB.

raid5: relieve lock contention in get_active_stripe() get_active_stripe() is the last place we have lock contention. It has two paths. One is stripe isn't found and new stripe is allocated, the other is stripe is found. The first path basically calls __find_stripe and init_stripe. It accesses conf->generation, conf->previous_raid_disks, conf->raid_disks, conf->prev_chunk_sectors, conf->chunk_sectors, conf->max_degraded, conf->prev_algo, conf->algorithm, the stripe_hashtbl and inactive_list. Except stripe_hashtbl and inactive_list, other fields are changed very rarely. With this patch, we split inactive_list and add new hash locks. Each free stripe belongs to a specific inactive list. Which inactive list is determined by stripe's lock_hash. Note, even a stripe hasn't a sector assigned, it has a lock_hash assigned. Stripe's inactive list is protected by a hash lock, which is determined by it's lock_hash too. The lock_hash is derivied from current stripe_hashtbl hash, which guarantees any stripe_hashtbl list will be assigned to a specific lock_hash, so we can use new hash lock to protect stripe_hashtbl list too. The goal of the new hash locks introduced is we can only use the new locks in the first path of get_active_stripe(). Since we have several hash locks, lock contention is relieved significantly. The first path of get_active_stripe() accesses other fields, since they are changed rarely, changing them now need take conf->device_lock and all hash locks. For a slow path, this isn't a problem. If we need lock device_lock and hash lock, we always lock hash lock first. The tricky part is release_stripe and friends. We need take device_lock first. Neil's suggestion is we put inactive stripes to a temporary list and readd it to inactive_list after device_lock is released. In this way, we add stripes to temporary list with device_lock hold and remove stripes from the list with hash lock hold. So we don't allow concurrent access to the temporary list, which means we need allocate temporary list for all participants of release_stripe. One downside is free stripes are maintained in their inactive list, they can't across between the lists. By default, we have total 256 stripes and 8 lists, so each list will have 32 stripes. It's possible one list has free stripe but other list hasn't. The chance should be rare because stripes allocation are even distributed. And we can always allocate more stripes for cache, several mega bytes memory isn't a big deal. This completely removes the lock contention of the first path of get_active_stripe(). It slows down the second code path a little bit though because we now need takes two locks, but since the hash lock isn't contended, the overhead should be quite small (several atomic instructions). The second path of get_active_stripe() (basically sequential write or big request size randwrite) still has lock contentions.

raid5: offload stripe handle to workqueue This is another attempt to create multiple threads to handle raid5 stripes. This time I use workqueue. raid5 handles request (especially write) in stripe unit. A stripe is page size aligned/long and acrosses all disks. Writing to any disk sector, raid5 runs a state machine for the corresponding stripe, which includes reading some disks of the stripe, calculating parity, and writing some disks of the stripe. The state machine is running in raid5d thread currently. Since there is only one thread, it doesn't scale well for high speed storage. An obvious solution is multi-threading. To get better performance, we have some requirements: a. locality. stripe corresponding to request submitted from one cpu is better handled in thread in local cpu or local node. local cpu is preferred but some times could be a bottleneck, for example, parity calculation is too heavy. local node running has wide adaptability. b. configurablity. Different setup of raid5 array might need diffent configuration. Especially the thread number. More threads don't always mean better performance because of lock contentions. My original implementation is creating some kernel threads. There are interfaces to control which cpu's stripe each thread should handle. And userspace can set affinity of the threads. This provides biggest flexibility and configurability. But it's hard to use and apparently a new thread pool implementation is disfavor. Recent workqueue improvement is quite promising. unbound workqueue will be bound to numa node. If WQ_SYSFS is set in workqueue, there are sysfs option to do affinity setting. For example, we can only include one HT sibling in affinity. Since work is non-reentrant by default, and we can control running thread number by limiting dispatched work_struct number. In this patch, I created several stripe worker group. A group is a numa node. stripes from cpus of one node will be added to a group list. Workqueue thread of one node will only handle stripes of worker group of the node. In this way, stripe handling has numa node locality. And as I said, we can control thread number by limiting dispatched work_struct number. The work_struct callback function handles several stripes in one run. A typical work queue usage is to run one unit in each work_struct. In raid5 case, the unit is a stripe. But we can't do that: a. Though handling a stripe doesn't need lock because of reference accounting and stripe isn't in any list, queuing a work_struct for each stripe will make workqueue lock contended very heavily. b. blk_start_plug()/blk_finish_plug() should surround stripe handle, as we might dispatch request. If each work_struct only handles one stripe, such block plug is meaningless. This implementation can't do very fine grained configuration. But the numa binding is most popular usage model, should be enough for most workloads. Note: since we have only one stripe queue, switching to multi-thread might decrease request size dispatching down to low level layer. The impact depends on thread number, raid configuration and workload. So multi-thread raid5 might not be proper for all setups. Changes V1 -> V2: 1. remove WQ_NON_REENTRANT 2. disabling multi-threading by default 3.

In this way, we add stripes to temporary list with device_lock hold and remove stripes from the list with hash lock hold. So we don't allow concurrent access to the temporary list, which means we need allocate temporary list for all participants of release_stripe. One downside is free stripes are maintained in their inactive list, they can't across between the lists. By default, we have total 256 stripes and 8 lists, so each list will have 32 stripes. It's possible one list has free stripe but other list hasn't. The chance should be rare because stripes allocation are even distributed. And we can always allocate more stripes for cache, several mega bytes memory isn't a big deal. This completely removes the lock contention of the first path of get_active_stripe(). It slows down the second code path a little bit though because we now need takes two locks, but since the hash lock isn't contended, the overhead should be quite small (several atomic instructions). The second path of get_active_stripe() (basically sequential write or big request size randwrite) still has lock contentions.

raid5: offload stripe handle to workqueue This is another attempt to create multiple threads to handle raid5 stripes. This time I use workqueue. raid5 handles request (especially write) in stripe unit. A stripe is page size aligned/long and acrosses all disks. Writing to any disk sector, raid5 runs a state machine for the corresponding stripe, which includes reading some disks of the stripe, calculating parity, and writing some disks of the stripe. The state machine is running in raid5d thread currently. Since there is only one thread, it doesn't scale well for high speed storage. An obvious solution is multi-threading. To get better performance, we have some requirements: a. locality. stripe corresponding to request submitted from one cpu is better handled in thread in local cpu or local node. local cpu is preferred but some times could be a bottleneck, for example, parity calculation is too heavy. local node running has wide adaptability. b. configurablity. Different setup of raid5 array might need diffent configuration. Especially the thread number. More threads don't always mean better performance because of lock contentions. My original implementation is creating some kernel threads. There are interfaces to control which cpu's stripe each thread should handle. And userspace can set affinity of the threads. This provides biggest flexibility and configurability. But it's hard to use and apparently a new thread pool implementation is disfavor. Recent workqueue improvement is quite promising. unbound workqueue will be bound to numa node. If WQ_SYSFS is set in workqueue, there are sysfs option to do affinity setting. For example, we can only include one HT sibling in affinity. Since work is non-reentrant by default, and we can control running thread number by limiting dispatched work_struct number. In this patch, I created several stripe worker group. A group is a numa node. stripes from cpus of one node will be added to a group list. Workqueue thread of one node will only handle stripes of worker group of the node. In this way, stripe handling has numa node locality. And as I said, we can control thread number by limiting dispatched work_struct number. The work_struct callback function handles several stripes in one run. A typical work queue usage is to run one unit in each work_struct. In raid5 case, the unit is a stripe. But we can't do that: a. Though handling a stripe doesn't need lock because of reference accounting and stripe isn't in any list, queuing a work_struct for each stripe will make workqueue lock contended very heavily. b. blk_start_plug()/blk_finish_plug() should surround stripe handle, as we might dispatch request. If each work_struct only handles one stripe, such block plug is meaningless. This implementation can't do very fine grained configuration. But the numa binding is most popular usage model, should be enough for most workloads. Note: since we have only one stripe queue, switching to multi-thread might decrease request size dispatching down to low level layer. The impact depends on thread number, raid configuration and workload. So multi-thread raid5 might not be proper for all setups.

md/r5cache: write-out phase and reclaim support There are two limited resources, stripe cache and journal disk space. For better performance, we priotize reclaim of full stripe writes. To free up more journal space, we free earliest data on the journal. In current implementation, reclaim happens when: 1. Periodically (every R5C_RECLAIM_WAKEUP_INTERVAL, 30 seconds) reclaim if there is no reclaim in the past 5 seconds. 2. when there are R5C_FULL_STRIPE_FLUSH_BATCH (256) cached full stripes, or cached stripes is enough for a full stripe (chunk size / 4k) (r5c_check_cached_full_stripe) 3. when there is pressure on stripe cache (r5c_check_stripe_cache_usage) 4. when there is pressure on journal space (r5l_write_stripe, r5c_cache_data) r5c_do_reclaim() contains new logic of reclaim. For stripe cache: When stripe cache pressure is high (more than 3/4 stripes are cached, or there is empty inactive lists), flush all full stripe. If fewer than R5C_RECLAIM_STRIPE_GROUP (NR_STRIPE_HASH_LOCKS * 2) full stripes are flushed, flush some paritial stripes. When stripe cache pressure is moderate (1/2 to 3/4 of stripes are cached), flush all full stripes. For log space: To avoid deadlock due to log space, we need to reserve enough space to flush cached data. The size of required log space depends on total number of cached stripes (stripe_in_journal_count). In current implementation, the writing-out phase automatically include pending data writes with parity writes (similar to write through case). Therefore, we need up to (conf->raid_disks + 1) pages for each cached stripe (1 page for meta data, raid_disks pages for all data and parity). r5c_log_required_to_flush_cache() calculates log space required to flush cache. In the following, we refer to the space calculated by r5c_log_required_to_flush_cache() as reclaim_required_space. Two flags are added to r5conf->cache_state: R5C_LOG_TIGHT and R5C_LOG_CRITICAL. R5C_LOG_TIGHT is set when free space on the log device is less than 3x of reclaim_required_space. R5C_LOG_CRITICAL is set when free space on the log device is less than 2x of reclaim_required_space. r5c_cache keeps all data in cache (not fully committed to RAID) in a list (stripe_in_journal_list). These stripes are in the order of their first appearance on the journal. So the log tail (last_checkpoint) should point to the journal_start of the first item in the list. When R5C_LOG_TIGHT is set, r5l_reclaim_thread starts flushing out stripes at the head of stripe_in_journal. When R5C_LOG_CRITICAL is set, the state machine only writes data that are already in the log device (in stripe_in_journal_list).

raid5: relieve lock contention in get_active_stripe() get_active_stripe() is the last place we have lock contention. It has two paths. One is stripe isn't found and new stripe is allocated, the other is stripe is found. The first path basically calls __find_stripe and init_stripe. It accesses conf->generation, conf->previous_raid_disks, conf->raid_disks, conf->prev_chunk_sectors, conf->chunk_sectors, conf->max_degraded, conf->prev_algo, conf->algorithm, the stripe_hashtbl and inactive_list. Except stripe_hashtbl and inactive_list, other fields are changed very rarely. With this patch, we split inactive_list and add new hash locks. Each free stripe belongs to a specific inactive list. Which inactive list is determined by stripe's lock_hash. Note, even a stripe hasn't a sector assigned, it has a lock_hash assigned. Stripe's inactive list is protected by a hash lock, which is determined by it's lock_hash too. The lock_hash is derivied from current stripe_hashtbl hash, which guarantees any stripe_hashtbl list will be assigned to a specific lock_hash, so we can use new hash lock to protect stripe_hashtbl list too. The goal of the new hash locks introduced is we can only use the new locks in the first path of get_active_stripe(). Since we have several hash locks, lock contention is relieved significantly. The first path of get_active_stripe() accesses other fields, since they are changed rarely, changing them now need take conf->device_lock and all hash locks. For a slow path, this isn't a problem. If we need lock device_lock and hash lock, we always lock hash lock first. The tricky part is release_stripe and friends. We need take device_lock first.

md/raid5: activate raid6 rmw feature Glue it altogehter. The raid6 rmw path should work the same as the already existing raid5 logic. So emulate the prexor handling/flags and split functions as needed. 1) Enable xor_syndrome() in the async layer. 2) Split ops_run_prexor() into RAID4/5 and RAID6 logic. Xor the syndrome at the start of a rmw run as we did it before for the single parity. 3) Take care of rmw run in ops_run_reconstruct6(). Again process only the changed pages to get syndrome back into sync. 4) Enhance set_syndrome_sources() to fill NULL pages if we are in a rmw run. The lower layers will calculate start & end pages from that and call the xor_syndrome() correspondingly. 5) Adapt the several places where we ignored Q handling up to now.

md/raid5: allow the stripe_cache to grow and shrink. The default setting of 256 stripe_heads is probably much too small for many configurations. So it is best to make it auto-configure. Shrinking the cache under memory pressure is easy. The only interesting part here is that we put a fairly high cost ('seeks') on shrinking the cache as the cost is greater than just having to read more data, it reduces parallelism. Growing the cache on demand needs to be done carefully. If we allow fast growth, that can upset memory balance as lots of dirty memory can quickly turn into lots of memory queued in the stripe_cache. It is important for the raid5 block device to appear congested to allow write-throttling to work. So we only add stripes slowly. We set a flag when an allocation fails because all stripes are in use, allocate at a convenient time when that flag is set, and don't allow it to be set again until at least one stripe_head has been released for re-use. This means that a spurt of requests will only cause one stripe_head to be allocated, but a steady stream of requests will slowly increase the cache size - until memory pressure puts it back again. It could take hours to reach a steady state. The value written to, and displayed in, stripe_cache_size is used as a minimum. The cache can grow above this and shrink back down to it. The actual size is not directly visible, though it can be deduced to some extent by watching stripe_cache_active. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

md/raid5: set default stripe_size as 4096 In RAID5, if issued bio size is bigger than stripe_size, it will be split in the unit of stripe_size and process them one by one. Even for size less then stripe_size, RAID5 also request data from disk at least of stripe_size. Nowdays, stripe_size is equal to the value of PAGE_SIZE. Since filesystem usually issue bio in the unit of 4KB, there is no problem for PAGE_SIZE as 4KB. But, for 64KB PAGE_SIZE, bio from filesystem requests 4KB data while RAID5 issue IO at least stripe_size (64KB) each time. That will waste resource of disk bandwidth and compute xor. To avoding the waste, we want to make stripe_size configurable. This patch just set default stripe_size as 4096. User can also set the value bigger than 4KB for some special requirements, such as we know the issued io size is more than 4KB. To evaluate the new feature, we create raid5 device '/dev/md5' with 4 SSD disk and test it on arm64 machine with 64KB PAGE_SIZE. 1) We format /dev/md5 with mkfs.ext4 and mount ext4 with default configure on /mnt directory.

But for 4KB randwrite, that means, size of io issued to device are smaller, 4KB stripe_size have better performance. Normally, default value (4096) can get relatively good performance. But if each issued io is bigger than 4096, setting value more than 4096 may get better performance. Here, we just set default stripe_size as 4096, and we will try to support setting different stripe_size by sysfs interface in the following patch.

md: introduce get_priority_stripe() to improve raid456 write performance Improve write performance by preventing the delayed_list from dumping all its stripes onto the handle_list in one shot. Delayed stripes are now further delayed by being held on the 'hold_list'.

[PATCH] md: allow reads that have bypassed the cache to be retried on failure If a bypass-the-cache read fails, we simply try again through the cache. If it fails again it will trigger normal recovery precedures. update 1: From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> 1/ chunk_aligned_read and retry_aligned_read assume that data_disks == raid_disks - 1 which is not true for raid6. So when an aligned read request bypasses the cache, we can get the wrong data. 2/ The cloned bio is being used-after-free in raid5_align_endio (to test BIO_UPTODATE). 3/ We forgot to add rdev->data_offset when submitting a bio for aligned-read 4/ clone_bio calls blk_recount_segments and then we change bi_bdev, so we need to invalidate the segment counts. 5/ We don't de-reference the rdev when the read completes. This means we need to record the rdev to so it is still available in the end_io routine. Fortunately bi_next in the original bio is unused at this point so we can stuff it in there. 6/ We leak a cloned bio if the target rdev is not usable. From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> update 2: 1/ When aligned requests fail (read error) they need to be retried via the normal method (stripe cache). As we cannot be sure that we can process a single read in one go (we may not be able to allocate all the stripes needed) we store a bio-being-retried and a list of bioes-that-still-need-to-be-retried. When find a bio that needs to be retried, we should add it to the list, not to single-bio... 2/ We were never incrementing 'scnt' when resubmitting failed aligned requests.

raid5: relieve lock contention in get_active_stripe() get_active_stripe() is the last place we have lock contention. It has two paths. One is stripe isn't found and new stripe is allocated, the other is stripe is found. The first path basically calls __find_stripe and init_stripe. It accesses conf->generation, conf->previous_raid_disks, conf->raid_disks, conf->prev_chunk_sectors, conf->chunk_sectors, conf->max_degraded, conf->prev_algo, conf->algorithm, the stripe_hashtbl and inactive_list. Except stripe_hashtbl and inactive_list, other fields are changed very rarely. With this patch, we split inactive_list and add new hash locks. Each free stripe belongs to a specific inactive list. Which inactive list is determined by stripe's lock_hash. Note, even a stripe hasn't a sector assigned, it has a lock_hash assigned. Stripe's inactive list is protected by a hash lock, which is determined by it's lock_hash too. The lock_hash is derivied from current stripe_hashtbl hash, which guarantees any stripe_hashtbl list will be assigned to a specific lock_hash, so we can use new hash lock to protect stripe_hashtbl list too. The goal of the new hash locks introduced is we can only use the new locks in the first path of get_active_stripe(). Since we have several hash locks, lock contention is relieved significantly. The first path of get_active_stripe() accesses other fields, since they are changed rarely, changing them now need take conf->device_lock and all hash locks. For a slow path, this isn't a problem. If we need lock device_lock and hash lock, we always lock hash lock first. The tricky part is release_stripe and friends. We need take device_lock first. Neil's suggestion is we put inactive stripes to a temporary list and readd it to inactive_list after device_lock is released. In this way, we add stripes to temporary list with device_lock hold and remove stripes from the list with hash lock hold. So we don't allow concurrent access to the temporary list, which means we need allocate temporary list for all participants of release_stripe. One downside is free stripes are maintained in their inactive list, they can't across between the lists. By default, we have total 256 stripes and 8 lists, so each list will have 32 stripes. It's possible one list has free stripe but other list hasn't. The chance should be rare because stripes allocation are even distributed. And we can always allocate more stripes for cache, several mega bytes memory isn't a big deal. This completely removes the lock contention of the first path of get_active_stripe(). It slows down the second code path a little bit though because we now need takes two locks, but since the hash lock isn't contended, the overhead should be quite small (several atomic instructions). The second path of get_active_stripe() (basically sequential write or big request size randwrite) still has lock contentions.

md/r5cache: caching phase of r5cache As described in previous patch, write back cache operates in two phases: caching and writing-out. The caching phase works as: 1. write data to journal (r5c_handle_stripe_dirtying, r5c_cache_data) 2. call bio_endio (r5c_handle_data_cached, r5c_return_dev_pending_writes). Then the writing-out phase is as: 1. Mark the stripe as write-out (r5c_make_stripe_write_out) 2. Calcualte parity (reconstruct or RMW) 3. Write parity (and maybe some other data) to journal device 4. Write data and parity to RAID disks This patch implements caching phase. The cache is integrated with stripe cache of raid456. It leverages code of r5l_log to write data to journal device. Writing-out phase of the cache is implemented in the next patch. With r5cache, write operation does not wait for parity calculation and write out, so the write latency is lower (1 write to journal device vs. read and then write to raid disks). Also, r5cache will reduce RAID overhead (multipile IO due to read-modify-write of parity) and provide more opportunities of full stripe writes. This patch adds 2 flags to stripe_head.state: - STRIPE_R5C_PARTIAL_STRIPE, - STRIPE_R5C_FULL_STRIPE, Instead of inactive_list, stripes with cached data are tracked in r5conf->r5c_full_stripe_list and r5conf->r5c_partial_stripe_list. STRIPE_R5C_FULL_STRIPE and STRIPE_R5C_PARTIAL_STRIPE are flags for stripes in these lists. Note: stripes in r5c_full/partial_stripe_list are not considered as "active". For RMW, the code allocates an extra page for each data block being updated. This is stored in r5dev->orig_page and the old data is read into it. Then the prexor calculation subtracts ->orig_page from the parity block, and the reconstruct calculation adds the ->page data back into the parity block. r5cache naturally excludes SkipCopy. When the array has write back cache, async_copy_data() will not skip copy. There are some known limitations of the cache implementation: 1. Write cache only covers full page writes (R5_OVERWRITE). Writes of smaller granularity are write through. 2. Only one log io (sh->log_io) for each stripe at anytime. Later writes for the same stripe have to wait. This can be improved by moving log_io to r5dev. 3. With writeback cache, read path must enter state machine, which is a significant bottleneck for some workloads. 4. There is no per stripe checkpoint (with r5l_payload_flush) in the log, so recovery code has to replay more than necessary data (sometimes all the log from last_checkpoint). This reduces availability of the array.

This time I use workqueue. raid5 handles request (especially write) in stripe unit. A stripe is page size aligned/long and acrosses all disks. Writing to any disk sector, raid5 runs a state machine for the corresponding stripe, which includes reading some disks of the stripe, calculating parity, and writing some disks of the stripe. The state machine is running in raid5d thread currently. Since there is only one thread, it doesn't scale well for high speed storage. An obvious solution is multi-threading. To get better performance, we have some requirements: a. locality. stripe corresponding to request submitted from one cpu is better handled in thread in local cpu or local node. local cpu is preferred but some times could be a bottleneck, for example, parity calculation is too heavy. local node running has wide adaptability. b. configurablity. Different setup of raid5 array might need diffent configuration. Especially the thread number. More threads don't always mean better performance because of lock contentions. My original implementation is creating some kernel threads. There are interfaces to control which cpu's stripe each thread should handle. And userspace can set affinity of the threads. This provides biggest flexibility and configurability. But it's hard to use and apparently a new thread pool implementation is disfavor. Recent workqueue improvement is quite promising. unbound workqueue will be bound to numa node. If WQ_SYSFS is set in workqueue, there are sysfs option to do affinity setting. For example, we can only include one HT sibling in affinity. Since work is non-reentrant by default, and we can control running thread number by limiting dispatched work_struct number. In this patch, I created several stripe worker group. A group is a numa node. stripes from cpus of one node will be added to a group list. Workqueue thread of one node will only handle stripes of worker group of the node. In this way, stripe handling has numa node locality. And as I said, we can control thread number by limiting dispatched work_struct number. The work_struct callback function handles several stripes in one run. A typical work queue usage is to run one unit in each work_struct. In raid5 case, the unit is a stripe. But we can't do that: a. Though handling a stripe doesn't need lock because of reference accounting and stripe isn't in any list, queuing a work_struct for each stripe will make workqueue lock contended very heavily. b. blk_start_plug()/blk_finish_plug() should surround stripe handle, as we might dispatch request. If each work_struct only handles one stripe, such block plug is meaningless. This implementation can't do very fine grained configuration. But the numa binding is most popular usage model, should be enough for most workloads. Note: since we have only one stripe queue, switching to multi-thread might decrease request size dispatching down to low level layer. The impact depends on thread number, raid configuration and workload. So multi-thread raid5 might not be proper for all setups. Changes V1 -> V2: 1. remove WQ_NON_REENTRANT 2. disabling multi-threading by default 3.

raid5: add basic stripe log This introduces a simple log for raid5. Data/parity writing to raid array first writes to the log, then write to raid array disks. If crash happens, we can recovery data from the log. This can speed up raid resync and fix write hole issue. The log structure is pretty simple. Data/meta data is stored in block unit, which is 4k generally. It has only one type of meta data block. The meta data block can track 3 types of data, stripe data, stripe parity and flush block. MD superblock will point to the last valid meta data block. Each meta data block has checksum/seq number, so recovery can scan the log correctly. We store a checksum of stripe data/parity to the metadata block, so meta data and stripe data/parity can be written to log disk together. otherwise, meta data write must wait till stripe data/parity is finished. For stripe data, meta data block will record stripe data sector and size. Currently the size is always 4k. This meta data record can be made simpler if we just fix write hole (eg, we can record data of a stripe's different disks together), but this format can be extended to support caching in the future, which must record data address/size. For stripe parity, meta data block will record stripe sector. It's size should be 4k (for raid5) or 8k (for raid6). We always store p parity first. This format should work for caching too. flush block indicates a stripe is in raid array disks. Fixing write hole doesn't need this type of meta data, it's for caching extension.

md/raid5: set default stripe_size as 4096 In RAID5, if issued bio size is bigger than stripe_size, it will be split in the unit of stripe_size and process them one by one. Even for size less then stripe_size, RAID5 also request data from disk at least of stripe_size. Nowdays, stripe_size is equal to the value of PAGE_SIZE. Since filesystem usually issue bio in the unit of 4KB, there is no problem for PAGE_SIZE as 4KB. But, for 64KB PAGE_SIZE, bio from filesystem requests 4KB data while RAID5 issue IO at least stripe_size (64KB) each time. That will waste resource of disk bandwidth and compute xor. To avoding the waste, we want to make stripe_size configurable. This patch just set default stripe_size as 4096. User can also set the value bigger than 4KB for some special requirements, such as we know the issued io size is more than 4KB. To evaluate the new feature, we create raid5 device '/dev/md5' with 4 SSD disk and test it on arm64 machine with 64KB PAGE_SIZE. 1) We format /dev/md5 with mkfs.ext4 and mount ext4 with default configure on /mnt directory. Then, trying to test it by dbench with command: dbench -D /mnt -t 1000 10.

But for 4KB randwrite, that means, size of io issued to device are smaller, 4KB stripe_size have better performance. Normally, default value (4096) can get relatively good performance. But if each issued io is bigger than 4096, setting value more than 4096 may get better performance. Here, we just set default stripe_size as 4096, and we will try to support setting different stripe_size by sysfs interface in the following patch.

md/raid5: let multiple devices of stripe_head share page In current implementation, grow_buffers() uses alloc_page() to allocate the buffers for each stripe_head, i.e. allocate a page for each dev[i] in stripe_head. After setting stripe_size as a configurable value by writing sysfs entry, it means that we always allocate 64K buffers, but just use 4K of them when stripe_size is 4K in 64KB arm64. To avoid wasting memory, we try to let multiple sh->dev share one real page. That means, multiple sh->dev[i].page will point to the only page with different offset. Example of 64K PAGE_SIZE and 4K stripe_size as following: 64K PAGE_SIZE +---+---+---+---+------------------------------+ | | | | | | | | | | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+------------------------------+ ^ ^ ^ ^ | | | +----------------------------+ | | | | | | +-------------------+ | | | | | | +----------+ | | | | | | +-+ | | | | | | | +-----+-----+------+-----+------+-----+------+------+ sh | offset(0) | offset(4K) | offset(8K) | offset(12K) | + +-----------+------------+------------+-------------+ +----> dev[0].page dev[1].page dev[2].page dev[3].page A new 'pages' array will be added into stripe_head to record shared page used by this stripe_head. Allocate them when grow_buffers() and free them when shrink_buffers(). After trying to share page, the users of sh->dev[i].page need to take care of the related page offset: page of issued bio and page passed to xor compution functions. But thanks for previous different page offset supported. Here, we just need to set correct dev[i].offset. Signed-off-by: Yufen Yu <yuyufen@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Song Liu <songliubraving@fb.com>
