      dm mpath: disable WRITE SAME if it fails · f84cb8a4
      Mike Snitzer 提交于
      Workaround the SCSI layer's problematic WRITE SAME heuristics by
      disabling WRITE SAME in the DM multipath device's queue_limits if an
      underlying device disabled it.
      
      The WRITE SAME heuristics, with both the original commit 5db44863
      ("[SCSI] sd: Implement support for WRITE SAME") and the updated commit
      66c28f97 ("[SCSI] sd: Update WRITE SAME heuristics"), default to enabling
      WRITE SAME(10) even without successfully determining it is supported.
      After the first failed WRITE SAME the SCSI layer will disable WRITE SAME
      for the device (by setting sdkp->device->no_write_same which results in
      'max_write_same_sectors' in device's queue_limits to be set to 0).
      
      When a device is stacked ontop of such a SCSI device any changes to that
      SCSI device's queue_limits do not automatically propagate up the stack.
      As such, a DM multipath device will not have its WRITE SAME support
      disabled.  This causes the block layer to continue to issue WRITE SAME
      requests to the mpath device which causes paths to fail and (if mpath IO
      isn't configured to queue when no paths are available) it will result in
      actual IO errors to the upper layers.
      
      This fix doesn't help configurations that have additional devices
      stacked ontop of the mpath device (e.g. LVM created linear DM devices
      ontop).  A proper fix that restacks all the queue_limits from the bottom
      of the device stack up will need to be explored if SCSI will continue to
      use this model of optimistically allowing op codes and then disabling
      them after they fail for the first time.

      dm: add statistics support · fd2ed4d2
      Mikulas Patocka 提交于
      Support the collection of I/O statistics on user-defined regions of
      a DM device.  If no regions are defined no statistics are collected so
      there isn't any performance impact.  Only bio-based DM devices are
      currently supported.
      
      Each user-defined region specifies a starting sector, length and step.
      Individual statistics will be collected for each step-sized area within
      the range specified.
      
      The I/O statistics counters for each step-sized area of a region are
      in the same format as /sys/block/*/stat or /proc/diskstats but extra
      counters (12 and 13) are provided: total time spent reading and
      writing in milliseconds.  All these counters may be accessed by sending
      the @stats_print message to the appropriate DM device via dmsetup.
      
      The creation of DM statistics will allocate memory via kmalloc or
      fallback to using vmalloc space.  At most, 1/4 of the overall system
      memory may be allocated by DM statistics.  The admin can see how much
      memory is used by reading
      /sys/module/dm_mod/parameters/stats_current_allocated_bytes
      
      See Documentation/device-mapper/statistics.txt for more details.

      dm: optimize use SRCU and RCU · 83d5e5b0
      Mikulas Patocka 提交于
      This patch removes "io_lock" and "map_lock" in struct mapped_device and
      "holders" in struct dm_table and replaces these mechanisms with
      sleepable-rcu.
      
      Previously, the code would call "dm_get_live_table" and "dm_table_put" to
      get and release table. Now, the code is changed to call "dm_get_live_table"
      and "dm_put_live_table". dm_get_live_table locks sleepable-rcu and
      dm_put_live_table unlocks it.
      
      dm_get_live_table_fast/dm_put_live_table_fast can be used instead of
      dm_get_live_table/dm_put_live_table. These *_fast functions use
      non-sleepable RCU, so the caller must not block between them.
      
      If the code changes active or inactive dm table, it must call
      dm_sync_table before destroying the old table.

      dm: add target num_write_bios fn · b0d8ed4d
      Alasdair G Kergon 提交于
      Add a num_write_bios function to struct target.
      
      If an instance of a target sets this, it will be queried before the
      target's mapping function is called on a write bio, and the response
      controls the number of copies of the write bio that the target will
      receive.
      
      This provides a convenient way for a target to send the same data to
      more than one device.  The new cache target uses this in writethrough
      mode, to send the data both to the cache and the backing device.

      dm: fix truncated status strings · fd7c092e
      Mikulas Patocka 提交于
      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 crypt: always disable discard_zeroes_data · 983c7db3
      Milan Broz 提交于
      If optional discard support in dm-crypt is enabled, discards requests
      bypass the crypt queue and blocks of the underlying device are discarded.
      For the read path, discarded blocks are handled the same as normal
      ciphertext blocks, thus decrypted.
      
      So if the underlying device announces discarded regions return zeroes,
      dm-crypt must disable this flag because after decryption there is just
      random noise instead of zeroes.

      dm: prepare for request based option · cec47e3d
      Kiyoshi Ueda 提交于
      This patch adds core functions for request-based dm.
      
      When struct mapped device (md) is initialized, md->queue has
      an I/O scheduler and the following functions are used for
      request-based dm as the queue functions:
          make_request_fn: dm_make_request()
          pref_fn:         dm_prep_fn()
          request_fn:      dm_request_fn()
          softirq_done_fn: dm_softirq_done()
          lld_busy_fn:     dm_lld_busy()
      Actual initializations are done in another patch (PATCH 2).
      
      Below is a brief summary of how request-based dm behaves, including:
        - making request from bio
        - cloning, mapping and dispatching request
        - completing request and bio
        - suspending md
        - resuming md
      
        bio to request
        ==============
        md->queue->make_request_fn() (dm_make_request()) calls __make_request()
        for a bio submitted to the md.
        Then, the bio is kept in the queue as a new request or merged into
        another request in the queue if possible.
      
        Cloning and Mapping
        ===================
        Cloning and mapping are done in md->queue->request_fn() (dm_request_fn()),
        when requests are dispatched after they are sorted by the I/O scheduler.
      
        dm_request_fn() checks busy state of underlying devices using
        target's busy() function and stops dispatching requests to keep them
        on the dm device's queue if busy.
        It helps better I/O merging, since no merge is done for a request
        once it is dispatched to underlying devices.
      
        Actual cloning and mapping are done in dm_prep_fn() and map_request()
        called from dm_request_fn().
        dm_prep_fn() clones not only request but also bios of the request
        so that dm can hold bio completion in error cases and prevent
        the bio submitter from noticing the error.
        (See the "Completion" section below for details.)
      
        After the cloning, the clone is mapped by target's map_rq() function
          and inserted to underlying device's queue using
          blk_insert_cloned_request().
      
        Completion
        ==========
        Request completion can be hooked by rq->end_io(), but then, all bios
        in the request will have been completed even error cases, and the bio
        submitter will have noticed the error.
        To prevent the bio completion in error cases, request-based dm clones
        both bio and request and hooks both bio->bi_end_io() and rq->end_io():
            bio->bi_end_io(): end_clone_bio()
            rq->end_io():     end_clone_request()
      
        Summary of the request completion flow is below:
        blk_end_request() for a clone request
          => blk_update_request()
             => bio->bi_end_io() == end_clone_bio() for each clone bio
                => Free the clone bio
                => Success: Complete the original bio (blk_update_request())
                   Error:   Don't complete the original bio
          => blk_finish_request()
             => rq->end_io() == end_clone_request()
                => blk_complete_request()
                   => dm_softirq_done()
                      => Free the clone request
                      => Success: Complete the original request (blk_end_request())
                         Error:   Requeue the original request
      
        end_clone_bio() completes the original request on the size of
        the original bio in successful cases.
        Even if all bios in the original request are completed by that
        completion, the original request must not be completed yet to keep
        the ordering of request completion for the stacking.
        So end_clone_bio() uses blk_update_request() instead of
        blk_end_request().
        In error cases, end_clone_bio() doesn't complete the original bio.
        It just frees the cloned bio and gives over the error handling to
        end_clone_request().
      
        end_clone_request(), which is called with queue lock held, completes
        the clone request and the original request in a softirq context
        (dm_softirq_done()), which has no queue lock, to avoid a deadlock
        issue on submission of another request during the completion:
            - The submitted request may be mapped to the same device
            - Request submission requires queue lock, but the queue lock
              has been held by itself and it doesn't know that
      
        The clone request has no clone bio when dm_softirq_done() is called.
        So target drivers can't resubmit it again even error cases.
        Instead, they can ask dm core for requeueing and remapping
        the original request in that cases.
      
        suspend
        =======
        Request-based dm uses stopping md->queue as suspend of the md.
        For noflush suspend, just stops md->queue.
      
        For flush suspend, inserts a marker request to the tail of md->queue.
        And dispatches all requests in md->queue until the marker comes to
        the front of md->queue.  Then, stops dispatching request and waits
        for the all dispatched requests to complete.
        After that, completes the marker request, stops md->queue and
        wake up the waiter on the suspend queue, md->wait.
      
        resume
        ======
        Starts md->queue.
