In the cluster evironment, cluster write has poor performance because userspace_flush() has to contact a userspace program (cmirrord) for clear/mark/flush requests. But both mark and flush requests require cmirrord to communicate the message to all the cluster nodes for each flush call. This behaviour is really slow. To address this we now merge mark and flush requests together to reduce the kernel-userspace-kernel time. We allow a new directive, "integrated_flush" that can be used to instruct the kernel log code to combine flush and mark requests when directed by userspace. If not directed by userspace (due to an older version of the userspace code perhaps), the kernel will function as it did previously - preserving backwards compatibility. Additionally, flush requests are performed lazily when only clear requests exist.

This bug was introduced in commit 7e664b3d ("dm space map metadata: fix extending the space map"). When extending a dm-thin metadata volume we: - Switch the space map into a simple bootstrap mode, which allocates all space linearly from the newly added space. - Add new bitmap entries for the new space - Increment the reference counts for those newly allocated bitmap entries - Commit changes to disk - Switch back out of bootstrap mode. But, the disk commit may allocate space itself, if so this fact will be lost when switching out of bootstrap mode. The bug exhibited itself as an error when the bitmap_root, with an erroneous ref count of 0, was subsequently decremented as part of a later disk commit. This would cause the disk commit to fail, and thinp to enter read_only mode. The metadata was not damaged (thin_check passed). The fix is to put the increments + commit into a loop, running until the commit has not allocated extra space. In practise this loop only runs twice. With this fix the following device mapper testsuite test passes: dmtest run --suite thin-provisioning -n thin_remove_works_after_resize Signed-off-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # depends on commit 7e664b3d

The cache's policy may have been established using the "default" alias, which is currently the "mq" policy but the default policy may change in the future. It is useful to know exactly which policy is being used. Add a 'real' member to the dm_cache_policy_type structure and have the "default" dm_cache_policy_type point to the real "mq" dm_cache_policy_type. Update dm_cache_policy_get_name() to check if real is set, if so report the name of the real policy (not the alias).

This reverts commit be35f486 ("dm: wait until embedded kobject is released before destroying a device") and provides an improved fix. The kobject release code that calls the completion must be placed in a non-module file, otherwise there is a module unload race (if the process calling dm_kobject_release is preempted and the DM module unloaded after the completion is triggered, but before dm_kobject_release returns). To fix this race, this patch moves the completion code to dm-builtin.c which is always compiled directly into the kernel if BLK_DEV_DM is selected. The patch introduces a new dm_kobject_holder structure, its purpose is to keep the completion and kobject in one place, so that it can be accessed from non-module code without the need to export the layout of struct mapped_device to that code.

This patch modifies dm-snapshot so that it prefetches the buffers when loading the exceptions. The number of buffers read ahead is specified in the DM_PREFETCH_CHUNKS macro. The current value for DM_PREFETCH_CHUNKS (12) was found to provide the best performance on a single 15k SCSI spindle. In the future we may modify this default or make it configurable. Also, introduce the function dm_bufio_set_minimum_buffers to setup bufio's number of internal buffers before freeing happens. dm-bufio may hold more buffers if enough memory is available. There is no guarantee that the specified number of buffers will be available - if you need a guarantee, use the argument reserved_buffers for dm_bufio_client_create.

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. While updating the status documentation in cache.txt spaces were tabify'd.

When extending a metadata space map we should do the first commit whilst still in bootstrap mode -- a mode where all blocks get allocated in the new area. That way the commit overhead is allocated from the newly added space. Otherwise we risk running out of space.

Otherwise extend can fail, e.g.: sm_metadata_extend call sequence that fails: -> sm_ll_extend -> dm_tm_new_block -> dm_sm_new_block -> sm_bootstrap_new_block => returns -ENOSPC because smm->begin == smm->ll.nr_blocks Signed-off-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

There may be other parts of the kernel holding a reference on the dm kobject. We must wait until all references are dropped before deallocating the mapped_device structure. The dm_kobject_release method signals that all references are dropped via completion. But dm_kobject_release doesn't free the kobject (which is embedded in the mapped_device structure). This is the sequence of operations: * when destroying a DM device, call kobject_put from dm_sysfs_exit * wait until all users stop using the kobject, when it happens the release method is called * the release method signals the completion and should return without delay * the dm device removal code that waits on the completion continues * the dm device removal code drops the dm_mod reference the device had * the dm device removal code frees the mapped_device structure that contains the kobject Using kobject this way should avoid the module unload race that was mentioned at the beginning of this thread: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/1/4/83Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

Internally the mq policy maintains a promotion threshold variable. If the hit count of a block not in the cache goes above this threshold it gets promoted to the cache. This patch introduces three new tunables that allow you to tweak the promotion threshold by adding a small value. These adjustments depend on the io type: read_promote_adjustment: READ io, default 4 write_promote_adjustment: WRITE io, default 8 discard_promote_adjustment: READ/WRITE io to a discarded block, default 1 If you're trying to quickly warm a new cache device you may wish to reduce these to encourage promotion.

The pool mode must not be switched until after the corresponding pool process_* methods have been established. Otherwise, because set_pool_mode() isn't interlocked with the IO path for performance reasons, the IO path can end up executing process_* operations that don't match the mode.

The pool's error_if_no_space flag can easily serve the same purpose that no_free_space did, namely: control whether handle_unserviceable_bio() will error a bio or requeue it. This is cleaner since error_if_no_space is established when the pool's features are processed during table load. So it avoids managing the no_free_space flag by taking the pool's spinlock.

If the pool runs out of data or metadata space, the pool can either queue or error the IO destined to the data device. The default is to queue the IO until more space is added.

Now that we switch the pool to read-only mode when the data device runs out of space it causes active writers to get IO errors once we resume after resizing the data device. If no_free_space is set, save bios to the 'retry_on_resume_list' and requeue them on resume (once the data or metadata device may have been resized). With this patch the resize_io test passes again (on slower storage): dmtest run --suite thin-provisioning -n /resize_io/ Later patches fix some subtle races associated with the pool mode transitions done as part of the pool's -ENOSPC handling. These races are exposed on fast storage (e.g. PCIe SSD). Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Acked-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com>

Factor out_of_data_space() out of alloc_data_block(). Eliminate the use of 'no_free_space' as a latch in alloc_data_block() -- this is no longer needed now that we switch to read-only mode when we run out of data or metadata space. In a later patch, the 'no_free_space' flag will be eliminated entirely (in favor of checking metadata rather than relying on a transient flag). Move no metdata space handling into metdata_operation_failed(). Set no_free_space when metadata space is exhausted too. This is useful, because it offers consistency, for the following patch that will requeue data IOs if no_free_space. Also, rename no_space() to retry_bios_on_resume().

A device mapper table is allocated in the following way: * The function dm_table_create is called, it gets the number of targets as an argument -- it allocates a targets array accordingly. * For each target, we call dm_table_add_target. If we add more targets than were specified in dm_table_create, the function dm_table_add_target reallocates the targets array. However, this reallocation code is wrong - it moves the targets array to a new location, while some target constructors hold pointers to the array in the old location. The following DM target drivers save the pointer to the target structure, so they corrupt memory if the target array is moved: multipath, raid, mirror, snapshot, stripe, switch, thin, verity. Under normal circumstances, the reallocation function is not called (because dm_table_create is called with the correct number of targets), so the buggy reallocation code is not used. Prior to the fix "dm table: fail dm_table_create on dm_round_up overflow", the reallocation code could only be used in case the user specifies too large a value in param->target_count, such as 0xffffffff.

If a snapshot is created and later deleted the origin dm_thin_device's snapshotted_time will have been updated to reflect the snapshot's creation time. The 'shared' flag in the dm_thin_lookup_result struct returned from dm_thin_find_block() is an approximation based on snapshotted_time -- this is done to avoid 0(n), or worse, time complexity. In this case, the shared flag would be true. But because the 'shared' flag reflects an approximation a block can be incorrectly assumed to be shared (e.g. false positive for 'shared' because the snapshot no longer exists). This could result in discards issued to a thin device not being passed down to the pool's underlying data device. To fix this we double check that a thin block is really still in-use after a mapping is removed using dm_pool_block_is_used(). If the reference count for a block is now zero the discard is allowed to be passed down. Also add a 'definitely_not_shared' member to the dm_thin_new_mapping structure -- reflects that the 'shared' flag in the response from dm_thin_find_block() can only be held as definitive if false is returned.

Pull x86 fixes from Peter Anvin: "This is a pretty small batch: The biggest single change is to stop using EFI time services on 32-bit platforms. This matches our current behavior on 64-bit platforms as we already had ruled them out there as being too unreliable. Turns out that affects 32-bit platforms, too. One NULL pointer fix for SGI UV. Two minor build fixes, one of which only affects icc and the other which affects icc and future versions or nonstandard default settings of gcc" * 'x86/urgent' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86, efi: Don't use (U)EFI time services on 32 bit x86, build, icc: Remove uninitialized_var() from compiler-intel.h x86/UV: Fix NULL pointer dereference in uv_flush_tlb_others() if the 'nobau' boot option is used x86, build: Pass in additional -mno-mmx, -mno-sse options
