The discard block size can change if the origin changes size or if an old DM cache is upgraded from using a discard block size that was equal to cache block size. To fix this an extent of discarded blocks is established for the purpose of translating the old discard block size to the new in-core discard block size and set bits. The old (potentially huge) discard bitset is left ondisk until it is re-written using the new in-core information on the next successful DM cache shutdown.

Safely allow the discard blocksize to be larger than the cache blocksize by using the bio prison's range locking support. This also improves discard performance considerly because larger discards are issued to the dm-cache device. The discard blocksize was always intended to be greater than the cache blocksize. But until now it wasn't implemented safely. Also, by safely restoring the ability to have discard blocksize larger than cache blocksize we're able to significantly reduce the memory used for the cache's discard bitset. Before, with a small discard blocksize, the discard bitset could get quite large because its size is a function of the discard blocksize and the origin device's size. For example, previously, using a 32KB cache blocksize with a 40TB origin resulted in 1280MB of incore memory use for the discard bitset! Now, the discard blocksize is scaled up accordingly to ensure the discard bitset is capped at 2**14 bits, or 16KB.

When a writeback or a promotion of a block is completed, the cell of that block is removed from the prison, the block is marked as clean, and the clear_dirty() callback of the cache policy is called. Unfortunately, performing those actions in this order allows an incoming new write bio for that block to come in before clearing the dirty status is completed and therefore possibly causing one of these two scenarios: Scenario A: Thread 1 Thread 2 cell_defer() . - cell removed from prison . - detained bios queued . . incoming write bio . remapped to cache . set_dirty() called, . but block already dirty . => it does nothing clear_dirty() . - block marked clean . - policy clear_dirty() called . Result: Block is marked clean even though it is actually dirty. No writeback will occur. Scenario B: Thread 1 Thread 2 cell_defer() . - cell removed from prison . - detained bios queued . clear_dirty() . - block marked clean . . incoming write bio . remapped to cache . set_dirty() called . - block marked dirty . - policy set_dirty() called - policy clear_dirty() called . Result: Block is properly marked as dirty, but policy thinks it is clean and therefore never asks us to writeback it. This case is visible in "dmsetup status" dirty block count (which normally decreases to 0 on a quiet device). Fix these issues by calling clear_dirty() before calling cell_defer(). Incoming bios for that block will then be detained in the cell and released only after clear_dirty() has completed, so the race will not occur. Found by inspecting the code after noticing spurious dirty counts (scenario B).

Before, if the block layer's limit stacking didn't establish an optimal_io_size that was compatible with the cache's data block size we'd set optimal_io_size to the data block size and minimum_io_size to 0 (which the block layer adjusts to be physical_block_size). Update cache_io_hints() to set both minimum_io_size and optimal_io_size to the cache's data block size. This fixes an issue where mkfs.xfs would create more XFS Allocation Groups on cache volumes than on a normal linear LV of comparable size. Signed-off-by: NMike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

nr_dirty is updated without locking, causing it to drift so that it is non-zero (either a small positive integer, or a very large one when an underflow occurs) even when there are no actual dirty blocks.

When suspending a cache the policy is walked and the individual policy hints written to the metadata via sync_metadata(). This led to this lock order: policy->lock cache_metadata->root_lock When loading the cache target the policy is populated while the metadata lock is held: cache_metadata->root_lock policy->lock Fix this potential lock-inversion (ABBA) deadlock in sync_metadata() by ensuring the cache_metadata root_lock is held whilst all the hints are written, rather than being repeatedly locked while policy->lock is held (as was the case with each callout that policy_walk_mappings() made to the old save_hint() method). Found by turning on the CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING ("Lock debugging: prove locking correctness") build option. However, it is not clear how the LOCKDEP reported paths can lead to a deadlock since the two paths, suspending a target and loading a target, never occur at the same time. But that doesn't mean the same lock-inversion couldn't have occurred elsewhere.

If the discard block size is larger than the cache block size we will not properly quiesce IO to a region that is about to be discarded. This results in a race between a cache migration where no copy is needed, and a write to an adjacent cache block that's within the same large discard block. Workaround this by limiting the discard_block_size to cache_block_size. Also limit the max_discard_sectors to cache_block_size. A more comprehensive fix that introduces range locking support in the bio_prison and proper quiescing of a discard range that spans multiple cache blocks is already in development.

During demotion or promotion to a cache's >2TB fast device we must not truncate the cache block's associated sector to 32bits.

When completing an overwrite bio, in overwrite_endio(), the associated migration should not be added to the 'completed_migrations' until the bio's fields are restored with dm_unhook_bio(). Otherwise, do_worker() can race to process 'completed_migrations' before dm_unhook_bio() -- so the bio's bi_end_io is incorrect. This is unlikely to cause any problems given the current code but should be fixed on the basis of correctness. Also, the cache's spinlock only needs to be held when manipulating the 'completed_migrations' list -- other changes don't need protection.

Improve cache_status to emit: <metadata block size> <#used metadata blocks>/<#total metadata blocks> <cache block size> <#used cache blocks>/<#total cache blocks> ... Adding the block sizes allows for easier calculation of the overall size of both the metadata and cache devices. Adding <#total cache blocks> provides useful context for how much of the cache is used. Unfortunately these additions to the status will require updates to users' scripts that monitor the cache status. But these changes help provide more comprehensive information about the cache device and will simplify tools that are being developed to manage dm-cache devices -- because they won't need to issue 3 operations to cobble together the information that we can easily provide via a single status ioctl.

This adds a generic mechanism for chaining bio completions. This is going to be used for a bio_split() replacement, and it turns out to be very useful in a fair amount of driver code - a fair number of drivers were implementing this in their own roundabout ways, often painfully. Note that this means it's no longer to call bio_endio() more than once on the same bio! This can cause problems for drivers that save/restore bi_end_io. Arguably they shouldn't be saving/restoring bi_end_io at all - in all but the simplest cases they'd be better off just cloning the bio, and immutable biovecs is making bio cloning cheaper.

"Passthrough" is a dm-cache operating mode (like writethrough or writeback) which is intended to be used when the cache contents are not known to be coherent with the origin device. It behaves as follows: * All reads are served from the origin device (all reads miss the cache) * All writes are forwarded to the origin device; additionally, write hits cause cache block invalidates This mode decouples cache coherency checks from cache device creation, largely to avoid having to perform coherency checks while booting. Boot scripts can create cache devices in passthrough mode and put them into service (mount cached filesystems, for example) without having to worry about coherency. Coherency that exists is maintained, although the cache will gradually cool as writes take place. Later, applications can perform coherency checks, the nature of which will depend on the type of the underlying storage. If coherency can be verified, the cache device can be transitioned to writethrough or writeback mode while still warm; otherwise, the cache contents can be discarded prior to transitioning to the desired operating mode.
