      dm: publish array_too_big · d63a5ce3
      由 Mikulas Patocka 提交于 
      Move array_too_big to include/linux/device-mapper.h because it is
used by targets.

Remove the test from dm-raid1 as the number of mirror legs is limited
such that it can never fail.  (Even for stripes it seems rather
unlikely.)

      dm exception store: fix misordered writes · 7acedc5b
      由 Mikulas Patocka 提交于 
      We must zero the next chunk on disk *before* writing out the current chunk, not
after.  Otherwise if the machine crashes at the wrong time, the "end of metadata"
marker may be missing.

      dm exception store: refactor zero_area · 7c9e6c17
      由 Alasdair G Kergon 提交于 
      Use a separate buffer for writing zeroes to the on-disk snapshot
exception store, make the updating of ps->current_area explicit and
refactor the code in preparation for the fix in the next patch.

No functional change.

      The last_percent field is unused - remove it.
(It dates from when events were triggered as each X% filled up.)

      dm snapshot: fix primary_pe race · 7c5f78b9
      由 Mikulas Patocka 提交于 
      Fix a race condition with primary_pe ref_count handling.

put_pending_exception runs under dm_snapshot->lock, it does atomic_dec_and_test
on primary_pe->ref_count, and later does atomic_read primary_pe->ref_count.

__origin_write does atomic_dec_and_test on primary_pe->ref_count without holding
dm_snapshot->lock.

This opens the following race condition:
Assume two CPUs, CPU1 is executing put_pending_exception (and holding
dm_snapshot->lock). CPU2 is executing __origin_write in parallel.
primary_pe->ref_count == 2.

CPU1:
if (primary_pe && atomic_dec_and_test(&primary_pe->ref_count))
	origin_bios = bio_list_get(&primary_pe->origin_bios);
... decrements primary_pe->ref_count to 1. Doesn't load origin_bios

CPU2:
if (first && atomic_dec_and_test(&primary_pe->ref_count)) {
	flush_bios(bio_list_get(&primary_pe->origin_bios));
	free_pending_exception(primary_pe);
	/* If we got here, pe_queue is necessarily empty. */
	return r;
}
... decrements primary_pe->ref_count to 0, submits pending bios, frees
primary_pe.

CPU1:
if (!primary_pe || primary_pe != pe)
	free_pending_exception(pe);
... this has no effect.
if (primary_pe && !atomic_read(&primary_pe->ref_count))
	free_pending_exception(primary_pe);
... sees ref_count == 0 (written by CPU 2), does double free !!

This bug can happen only if someone is simultaneously writing to both the
origin and the snapshot.

If someone is writing only to the origin, __origin_write will submit kcopyd
request after it decrements primary_pe->ref_count (so it can't happen that the
finished copy races with primary_pe->ref_count decrementation).

If someone is writing only to the snapshot, __origin_write isn't invoked at all
and the race can't happen.

The race happens when someone writes to the snapshot --- this creates
pending_exception with primary_pe == NULL and starts copying. Then, someone
writes to the same chunk in the snapshot, and __origin_write races with
termination of already submitted request in pending_complete (that calls
put_pending_exception).

This race may be reason for bugs:
  http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11636
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=465825

The patch fixes the code to make sure that:
1. If atomic_dec_and_test(&primary_pe->ref_count) returns false, the process
must no longer dereference primary_pe (because someone else may free it under
us).
2. If atomic_dec_and_test(&primary_pe->ref_count) returns true, the process
is responsible for freeing primary_pe.

      dm kcopyd: avoid queue shuffle · b673c3a8
      由 Kazuo Ito 提交于 
      Write throughput to LVM snapshot origin volume is an order
of magnitude slower than those to LV without snapshots or
snapshot target volumes, especially in the case of sequential
writes with O_SYNC on.

The following patch originally written by Kevin Jamieson and
Jan Blunck and slightly modified for the current RCs by myself
tries to improve the performance by modifying the behaviour
of kcopyd, so that it pushes back an I/O job to the head of
the job queue instead of the tail as process_jobs() currently
does when it has to wait for free pages. This way, write
requests aren't shuffled to cause extra seeks.

I tested the patch against 2.6.27-rc5 and got the following results.
The test is a dd command writing to snapshot origin followed by fsync
to the file just created/updated.  A couple of filesystem benchmarks
gave me similar results in case of sequential writes, while random
writes didn't suffer much.

dd if=/dev/zero of=<somewhere on snapshot origin> bs=4096 count=...
   [conv=notrunc when updating]

1) linux 2.6.27-rc5 without the patch, write to snapshot origin,
average throughput (MB/s)
                     10M     100M    1000M
create,dd         511.46   610.72    11.81
create,dd+fsync     7.10     6.77     8.13
update,dd         431.63   917.41    12.75
update,dd+fsync     7.79     7.43     8.12

compared with write throughput to LV without any snapshots,
all dd+fsync and 1000 MiB writes perform very poorly.

                     10M     100M    1000M
create,dd         555.03   608.98   123.29
create,dd+fsync   114.27    72.78    76.65
update,dd         152.34  1267.27   124.04
update,dd+fsync   130.56    77.81    77.84

2) linux 2.6.27-rc5 with the patch, write to snapshot origin,
average throughput (MB/s)

                     10M     100M    1000M
create,dd         537.06   589.44    46.21
create,dd+fsync    31.63    29.19    29.23
update,dd         487.59   897.65    37.76
update,dd+fsync    34.12    30.07    26.85

Although still not on par with plain LV performance -
cannot be avoided because it's copy on write anyway -
this simple patch successfully improves throughtput
of dd+fsync while not affecting the rest.
