Joe Thornber authored
Add a threshold callback function to the persistent data space map interface for a subsequent patch to use. dm-thin and dm-cache are interested in knowing when they're getting low on metadata or data blocks. This patch introduces a new method for registering a callback against a threshold. Signed-off-by:

Allow the dm thin pool metadata device to be extended. Whenever a pool is resumed, detect whether the size of the metadata device has increased, and if so, extend the metadata to use the new space. Signed-off-by:

Joe Thornber authored
Support extending a dm persistent data metadata space map. The extend itself is implemented by switching back to the boostrap allocator and pointing to the new space. The extra bitmap indexes are then allocated from the new space, and finally we switch back to the proper space map ops and tweak the reference counts. Signed-off-by:

If a thin pool is created in read-only-metadata mode then only open the metadata device read-only. Previously it was always opened with FMODE_READ | FMODE_WRITE. (Note that dm_get_device() still allows read-only dm devices to be used read-write at the moment: If I create a read-only linear device for the metadata, via dmsetup load --readonly, then I can still create a rw pool out of it.)

This patch uses memalloc_noio_save to avoid a possible deadlock in dm-bufio. (it could happen only with large block size, at most PAGE_SIZE << MAX_ORDER (typically 8MiB). __vmalloc doesn't fully respect gfp flags. The specified gfp flags are used for allocation of requested pages, structures vmap_area, vmap_block and vm_struct and the radix tree nodes. However, the kernel pagetables are allocated always with GFP_KERNEL. Thus the allocation of pagetables can recurse back to the I/O layer and cause a deadlock. This patch uses the function memalloc_noio_save to set per-process PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO flag and the function memalloc_noio_restore to restore it. When this flag is set, all allocations in the process are done with implied GFP_NOIO flag, thus the deadlock can't happen. This should be backported to stable kernels, but they don't have the PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO flag and memalloc_noio_save/memalloc_noio_restore functions. So, PF_MEMALLOC should be set and restored instead.

Fix a regression in the calculation of the stripe_width in the dm stripe target which led to incorrect processing of device limits. The stripe_width is the stripe device length divided by the number of stripes. The group of commits in the range f14fa693 ("dm stripe: fix size test") to eb850de6 ("dm stripe: support for non power of 2 chunksize") interfered with each other (a merging error) and led to the stripe_width being set incorrectly to the stripe device length divided by chunk_size * stripe_count. For example, a stripe device's table with: 0 33553920 striped 3 512 ... should result in a stripe_width of 11184640 (33553920 / 3), but due to the bug it was getting set to 21845 (33553920 / (512 * 3)). The impact of this bug is that device topologies that previously worked fine with the stripe target are no longer considered valid. In particular, there is a higher risk of seeing this issue if one of the stripe devices has a 4K logical block size. Resulting in an error message like this: "device-mapper: table: 253:4: len=21845 not aligned to h/w logical block size 4096 of dm-1" The fix is to swap the order of the divisions and to use a temporary variable for the second one, so that width retains the intended value.

Thanks to Zach Brown's work to rip out the retry infrastructure, we don't need this anymore - ki_retry was only called right after the kiocb was initialized. This also refactors and trims some duplicated code, as well as cleaning up the refcounting/error handling a bit.

struct aio_ring_info was kind of odd, the only place it's used is where it's embedded in struct kioctx - there's no real need for it. The next patch rearranges struct kioctx and puts various things on their own cachelines - getting rid of struct aio_ring_info now makes that reordering a bit clearer. Signed-off-by:

Previously, allocating a kiocb required touching quite a few global (well, per kioctx) cachelines... so batching up allocation to amortize those was worthwhile. But we've gotten rid of some of those, and in another couple of patches kiocb allocation won't require writing to any shared cachelines, so that means we can just rip this code out. Signed-off-by:

The aio code tries really hard to avoid having to deal with the completion ringbuffer overflowing. To do that, it has to keep track of the number of outstanding kiocbs, and the number of completions currently in the ringbuffer - and it's got to check that every time we allocate a kiocb. Ouch. But - we can improve this quite a bit if we just change reqs_active to mean "number of outstanding requests and unreaped completions" - that means kiocb allocation doesn't have to look at the ringbuffer, which is a fairly significant win.

Cancelling kiocbs requires adding them to a per kioctx linked list, which is one of the few things we need to take the kioctx lock for in the fast path. But most kiocbs can't be cancelled - so if we just do this lazily, we can avoid quite a bit of locking overhead. While we're at it, instead of using a flag bit switch to using ki_cancel itself to indicate that a kiocb has been cancelled/completed. This lets us get rid of ki_flags entirely.

Previously, aio_read_event() pulled a single completion off the ringbuffer at a time, locking and unlocking each time. Change it to pull off as many events as it can at a time, and copy them directly to userspace. This also fixes a bug where if copying the event to userspace failed, we'd lose the event. Also convert it to wait_event_interruptible_hrtimeout(), which simplifies it quite a bit. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by:

Analagous to wait_event_timeout() and friends, this adds wait_event_hrtimeout() and wait_event_interruptible_hrtimeout(). Note that unlike the versions that use regular timers, these don't return the amount of time remaining when they return - instead, they return 0 or -ETIME if they timed out. because I was uncomfortable with the semantics of doing it the other way (that I could get it right, anyways). If the timer expires, there's no real guarantee that expire_time - current_time would be <= 0 - due to timer slack certainly, and I'm not sure I want to know the implications of the different clock bases in hrtimers. If the timer does expire and the code calculates that the time remaining is nonnegative, that could be even worse if the calling code then reuses that timeout. Probably safer to just return 0 then, but I could imagine weird bugs or at least unintended behaviour arising from that too. I came to the conclusion that if other users end up actually needing the amount of time remaining, the sanest thing to do would be to create a version that uses absolute timeouts instead of relative.

The usage of ctx->dead was fubar - it makes no sense to explicitly check it all over the place, especially when we're already using RCU. Now, ctx->dead only indicates whether we've dropped the initial refcount. The new teardown sequence is: set ctx->dead hlist_del_rcu(); synchronize_rcu(); Now we know no system calls can take a new ref, and it's safe to drop the initial ref: put_ioctx(); We also need to ensure there are no more outstanding kiocbs. This was done incorrectly - it was being done in kill_ctx(), and before dropping the initial refcount. At this point, other syscalls may still be submitting kiocbs! Now, we cancel and wait for outstanding kiocbs in free_ioctx(), after kioctx->users has dropped to 0 and we know no more iocbs could be submitted.

Freeing a kiocb needed to touch the kioctx for three things: * Pull it off the reqs_active list * Decrementing reqs_active * Issuing a wakeup, if the kioctx was in the process of being freed. This patch moves these to aio_complete(), for a couple reasons: * aio_complete() already has to issue the wakeup, so if we drop the kioctx refcount before aio_complete does its wakeup we don't have to do it twice. * aio_complete currently has to take the kioctx lock, so it makes sense for it to pull the kiocb off the reqs_active list too. * A later patch is going to change reqs_active to include unreaped completions - this will mean allocating a kiocb doesn't have to look at the ringbuffer. So taking the decrement of reqs_active out of kiocb_free() is useful prep work for that patch. This doesn't really affect cancellation, since existing (usb) code that implements a cancel function still calls aio_complete() - we just have to make sure that aio_complete does the necessary teardown for cancelled kiocbs. It does affect code paths where we free kiocbs that were never submitted; they need to decrement reqs_active and pull the kiocb off the reqs_active list. This occurs in two places: kiocb_batch_free(), which is going away in a later patch, and the error path in io_submit_one. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by:
