The Intel(R) IOP series of i/o processors integrate an Xscale core with raid acceleration engines. The capabilities per platform are: iop219: (2) copy engines iop321: (2) copy engines (1) xor and block fill engine iop33x: (2) copy and crc32c engines (1) xor, xor zero sum, pq, pq zero sum, and block fill engine iop34x (iop13xx): (2) copy, crc32c, xor, xor zero sum, and block fill engines (1) copy, crc32c, xor, xor zero sum, pq, pq zero sum, and block fill engine The driver supports the features of the async_tx api: * asynchronous notification of operation completion * implicit (interupt triggered) handling of inter-channel transaction dependencies The driver adapts to the platform it is running by two methods. 1/ #include <asm/arch/adma.h> which defines the hardware specific iop_chan_* and iop_desc_* routines as a series of static inline functions 2/ The private platform data attached to the platform_device defines the capabilities of the channels 20070626: Callbacks are run in a tasklet. Given the recent discussion on LKML about killing tasklets in favor of workqueues I did a quick conversion of the driver. Raid5 resync performance dropped from 50MB/s to 30MB/s, so the tasklet implementation remains until a generic softirq interface is available. Changelog: * fixed a slot allocation bug in do_iop13xx_adma_xor that caused too few slots to be requested eventually leading to data corruption * enabled the slot allocation routine to attempt to free slots before returning -ENOMEM * switched the cleanup routine to solely use the software chain and the status register to determine if a descriptor is complete. This is necessary to support other IOP engines that do not have status writeback capability * make the driver iop generic * modified the allocation routines to understand allocating a group of slots for a single operation * added a null xor initialization operation for the xor only channel on iop3xx * support xor operations on buffers larger than the hardware maximum * split the do_* routines into separate prep, src/dest set, submit stages * added async_tx support (dependent operations initiation at cleanup time) * simplified group handling * added interrupt support (callbacks via tasklets) * brought the pending depth inline with ioat (i.e. 4 descriptors) * drop dma mapping methods, suggested by Chris Leech * don't use inline in C files, Adrian Bunk * remove static tasklet declarations * make iop_adma_alloc_slots easier to read and remove chances for a corrupted descriptor chain * fix locking bug in iop_adma_alloc_chan_resources, Benjamin Herrenschmidt * convert capabilities over to dma_cap_mask_t * fixup sparse warnings * add descriptor flush before iop_chan_enable * checkpatch.pl fixes * gpl v2 only correction * move set_src, set_dest, submit to async_tx methods * move group_list and phys to async_tx Cc: Russell King <rmk@arm.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

When a stripe is being expanded bulk copying takes place to move the data from the old stripe to the new. Since raid5_run_ops only operates on one stripe at a time these bulk copies are handled in-line under the stripe lock. In the dma offload case we poll for the completion of the operation. After the data has been copied into the new stripe the parity needs to be recalculated across the new disks. We reuse the existing postxor functionality to carry out this calculation. By setting STRIPE_OP_POSTXOR without setting STRIPE_OP_BIODRAIN the completion path in handle stripe can differentiate expand operations from normal write operations.

When a read bio is attached to the stripe and the corresponding block is marked R5_UPTODATE, then a read (biofill) operation is scheduled to copy the data from the stripe cache to the bio buffer. handle_stripe flags the blocks to be operated on with the R5_Wantfill flag. If new read requests arrive while raid5_run_ops is running they will not be handled until handle_stripe is scheduled to run again.

Check operations are scheduled when the array is being resynced or an explicit 'check/repair' command was sent to the array. Previously check operations would destroy the parity block in the cache such that even if parity turned out to be correct the parity block would be marked !R5_UPTODATE at the completion of the check. When the operation can be carried out by a dma engine the assumption is that it can check parity as a read-only operation. If raid5_run_ops notices that the check was handled by hardware it will preserve the R5_UPTODATE status of the parity disk. When a check operation determines that the parity needs to be repaired we reuse the existing compute block infrastructure to carry out the operation. Repair operations imply an immediate write back of the data, so to differentiate a repair from a normal compute operation the STRIPE_OP_MOD_REPAIR_PD flag is added.

handle_stripe will compute a block when a backing disk has failed, or when it determines it can save a disk read by computing the block from all the other up-to-date blocks. Previously a block would be computed under the lock and subsequent logic in handle_stripe could use the newly up-to-date block. With the raid5_run_ops implementation the compute operation is carried out a later time outside the lock. To preserve the old functionality we take advantage of the dependency chain feature of async_tx to flag the block as R5_Wantcompute and then let other parts of handle_stripe operate on the block as if it were up-to-date. raid5_run_ops guarantees that the block will be ready before it is used in another operation. However, this only works in cases where the compute and the dependent operation are scheduled at the same time. If a previous call to handle_stripe sets the R5_Wantcompute flag there is no facility to pass the async_tx dependency chain across successive calls to raid5_run_ops. The req_compute variable protects against this case. Changelog: * remove the req_compute BUG_ON Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Acked-By: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

After handle_stripe5 decides whether it wants to perform a read-modify-write, or a reconstruct write it calls handle_write_operations5. A read-modify-write operation will perform an xor subtraction of the blocks marked with the R5_Wantprexor flag, copy the new data into the stripe (biodrain) and perform a postxor operation across all up-to-date blocks to generate the new parity. A reconstruct write is run when all blocks are already up-to-date in the cache so all that is needed is a biodrain and postxor. On the completion path STRIPE_OP_PREXOR will be set if the operation was a read-modify-write. The STRIPE_OP_BIODRAIN flag is used in the completion path to differentiate write-initiated postxor operations versus expansion-initiated postxor operations. Completion of a write triggers i/o to the drives.

All the handle_stripe operations that are to be transitioned to use raid5_run_ops need a method to coherently gather work under the stripe-lock and hand that work off to raid5_run_ops. The 'get_stripe_work' routine runs under the lock to read all the bits in sh->ops.pending that do not have the corresponding bit set in sh->ops.ack. This modified 'pending' bitmap is then passed to raid5_run_ops for processing. The transition from 'ack' to 'completion' does not need similar protection as the existing release_stripe infrastructure will guarantee that handle_stripe will run again after a completion bit is set, and handle_stripe can tolerate a sh->ops.completed bit being set while the lock is held. A call to async_tx_issue_pending_all() is added to raid5d to kick the offload engines once all pending stripe operations work has been submitted. This enables batching of the submission and completion of operations. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Acked-By: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

When the raid acceleration work was proposed, Neil laid out the following attack plan: 1/ move the xor and copy operations outside spin_lock(&sh->lock) 2/ find/implement an asynchronous offload api The raid5_run_ops routine uses the asynchronous offload api (async_tx) and the stripe_operations member of a stripe_head to carry out xor+copy operations asynchronously, outside the lock. To perform operations outside the lock a new set of state flags is needed to track new requests, in-flight requests, and completed requests. In this new model handle_stripe is tasked with scanning the stripe_head for work, updating the stripe_operations structure, and finally dropping the lock and calling raid5_run_ops for processing. The following flags outline the requests that handle_stripe can make of raid5_run_ops: STRIPE_OP_BIOFILL - copy data into request buffers to satisfy a read request STRIPE_OP_COMPUTE_BLK - generate a missing block in the cache from the other blocks STRIPE_OP_PREXOR - subtract existing data as part of the read-modify-write process STRIPE_OP_BIODRAIN - copy data out of request buffers to satisfy a write request STRIPE_OP_POSTXOR - recalculate parity for new data that has entered the cache STRIPE_OP_CHECK - verify that the parity is correct STRIPE_OP_IO - submit i/o to the member disks (note this was already performed outside the stripe lock, but it made sense to add it as an operation type The flow is: 1/ handle_stripe sets STRIPE_OP_* in sh->ops.pending 2/ raid5_run_ops reads sh->ops.pending, sets sh->ops.ack, and submits the operation to the async_tx api 3/ async_tx triggers the completion callback routine to set sh->ops.complete and release the stripe 4/ handle_stripe runs again to finish the operation and optionally submit new operations that were previously blocked Note this patch just defines raid5_run_ops, subsequent commits (one per major operation type) modify handle_stripe to take advantage of this routine. Changelog: * removed ops_complete_biodrain in favor of ops_complete_postxor and ops_complete_write. * removed the raid5_run_ops workqueue * call bi_end_io for reads in ops_complete_biofill, saves a call to handle_stripe * explicitly handle the 2-disk raid5 case (xor becomes memcpy), Neil Brown * fix race between async engines and bi_end_io call for reads, Neil Brown * remove unnecessary spin_lock from ops_complete_biofill * remove test_and_set/test_and_clear BUG_ONs, Neil Brown * remove explicit interrupt handling for channel switching, this feature was absorbed (i.e. it is now implicit) by the async_tx api * use return_io in ops_complete_biofill Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Acked-By: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

handle_stripe5 and handle_stripe6 have very deep logic paths handling the various states of a stripe_head. By introducing the 'stripe_head_state' and 'r6_state' objects, large portions of the logic can be moved to sub-routines. 'struct stripe_head_state' consumes all of the automatic variables that previously stood alone in handle_stripe5,6. 'struct r6_state' contains the handle_stripe6 specific variables like p_failed and q_failed. One of the nice side effects of the 'stripe_head_state' change is that it allows for further reductions in code duplication between raid5 and raid6. The following new routines are shared between raid5 and raid6: handle_completed_write_requests handle_requests_to_failed_array handle_stripe_expansion Changes: * v2: fixed 'conf->raid_disk-1' for the raid6 'handle_stripe_expansion' path * v3: removed the unused 'dirty' field from struct stripe_head_state * v3: coalesced open coded bi_end_io routines into return_io() Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Acked-By: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

The async_tx api provides methods for describing a chain of asynchronous bulk memory transfers/transforms with support for inter-transactional dependencies. It is implemented as a dmaengine client that smooths over the details of different hardware offload engine implementations. Code that is written to the api can optimize for asynchronous operation and the api will fit the chain of operations to the available offload resources. I imagine that any piece of ADMA hardware would register with the 'async_*' subsystem, and a call to async_X would be routed as appropriate, or be run in-line. - Neil Brown async_tx exploits the capabilities of struct dma_async_tx_descriptor to provide an api of the following general format: struct dma_async_tx_descriptor * async_<operation>(..., struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *depend_tx, dma_async_tx_callback cb_fn, void *cb_param) { struct dma_chan *chan = async_tx_find_channel(depend_tx, <operation>); struct dma_device *device = chan ? chan->device : NULL; int int_en = cb_fn ? 1 : 0; struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *tx = device ? device->device_prep_dma_<operation>(chan, len, int_en) : NULL; if (tx) { /* run <operation> asynchronously */ ... tx->tx_set_dest(addr, tx, index); ... tx->tx_set_src(addr, tx, index); ... async_tx_submit(chan, tx, flags, depend_tx, cb_fn, cb_param); } else { /* run <operation> synchronously */ ... <operation> ... async_tx_sync_epilog(flags, depend_tx, cb_fn, cb_param); } return tx; } async_tx_find_channel() returns a capable channel from its pool. The channel pool is organized as a per-cpu array of channel pointers. The async_tx_rebalance() routine is tasked with managing these arrays. In the uniprocessor case async_tx_rebalance() tries to spread responsibility evenly over channels of similar capabilities. For example if there are two copy+xor channels, one will handle copy operations and the other will handle xor. In the SMP case async_tx_rebalance() attempts to spread the operations evenly over the cpus, e.g. cpu0 gets copy channel0 and xor channel0 while cpu1 gets copy channel 1 and xor channel 1. When a dependency is specified async_tx_find_channel defaults to keeping the operation on the same channel. A xor->copy->xor chain will stay on one channel if it supports both operation types, otherwise the transaction will transition between a copy and a xor resource. Currently the raid5 implementation in the MD raid456 driver has been converted to the async_tx api. A driver for the offload engines on the Intel Xscale series of I/O processors, iop-adma, is provided in a later commit. With the iop-adma driver and async_tx, raid456 is able to offload copy, xor, and xor-zero-sum operations to hardware engines. On iop342 tiobench showed higher throughput for sequential writes (20 - 30% improvement) and sequential reads to a degraded array (40 - 55% improvement). For the other cases performance was roughly equal, +/- a few percentage points. On a x86-smp platform the performance of the async_tx implementation (in synchronous mode) was also +/- a few percentage points of the original implementation. According to 'top' on iop342 CPU utilization drops from ~50% to ~15% during a 'resync' while the speed according to /proc/mdstat doubles from ~25 MB/s to ~50 MB/s. The tiobench command line used for testing was: tiobench --size 2048 --block 4096 --block 131072 --dir /mnt/raid --numruns 5 * iop342 had 1GB of memory available Details: * if CONFIG_DMA_ENGINE=n the asynchronous path is compiled away by making async_tx_find_channel a static inline routine that always returns NULL * when a callback is specified for a given transaction an interrupt will fire at operation completion time and the callback will occur in a tasklet. if the the channel does not support interrupts then a live polling wait will be performed * the api is written as a dmaengine client that requests all available channels * In support of dependencies the api implicitly schedules channel-switch interrupts. The interrupt triggers the cleanup tasklet which causes pending operations to be scheduled on the next channel * Xor engines treat an xor destination address differently than a software xor routine. To the software routine the destination address is an implied source, whereas engines treat it as a write-only destination. This patch modifies the xor_blocks routine to take a an explicit destination address to mirror the hardware. Changelog: * fixed a leftover debug print * don't allow callbacks in async_interrupt_cond * fixed xor_block changes * fixed usage of ASYNC_TX_XOR_DROP_DEST * drop dma mapping methods, suggested by Chris Leech * printk warning fixups from Andrew Morton * don't use inline in C files, Adrian Bunk * select the API when MD is enabled * BUG_ON xor source counts <= 1 * implicitly handle hardware concerns like channel switching and interrupts, Neil Brown * remove the per operation type list, and distribute operation capabilities evenly amongst the available channels * simplify async_tx_find_channel to optimize the fast path * introduce the channel_table_initialized flag to prevent early calls to the api * reorganize the code to mimic crypto * include mm.h as not all archs include it in dma-mapping.h * make the Kconfig options non-user visible, Adrian Bunk * move async_tx under crypto since it is meant as 'core' functionality, and the two may share algorithms in the future * move large inline functions into c files * checkpatch.pl fixes * gpl v2 only correction Cc: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Acked-By: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
