2015-10-31dm: convert ffs to __ffsMikulas Patocka
ffs counts bit starting with 1 (for the least significant bit), __ffs counts bits starting with 0. This patch changes various occurrences of ffs to __ffs and removes subtraction of 1 from the result. Note that __ffs (unlike ffs) is not defined when called with zero argument, but it is not called with zero argument in any of these cases.

2015-07-29block: add a bi_error field to struct bioChristoph Hellwig
Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO: (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds of error returns. So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer: - Significant DM thin-provisioning performance improvements to meet performance requirements that were requested by the Gluster distributed filesystem. Specifically, dm-thinp now takes care to aggregate IO that will be issued to the same thinp block before issuing IO to the underlying devices. This really helps improve performance on HW RAID6 devices that have a writeback cache because it avoids RMW in the HW RAID controller. - Some stable fixes: fix leak in DM bufio if integrity profiles were enabled, use memzero_explicit in DM crypt to avoid any potential for information leak, and a DM cache fix to properly mark a cache block dirty if it was promoted to the cache via the overwrite optimization. - A few simple DM persistent data library fixes - DM cache multiqueue policy block promotion improvements. - DM cache discard improvements that take advantage of range (multiblock) discard support in the DM bio-prison. This allows for much more efficient bulk discard processing (e.g. when mkfs.xfs discards the entire device). - Some small optimizations in DM core and RCU deference cleanups - DM core changes to suspend/resume code to introduce the new internal suspend/resume interface that the DM thin-pool target now uses to suspend/resume active thin devices when the thin-pool must suspend/resume. This avoids forcing userspace to track all active thin volumes in a thin-pool when the thin-pool is suspended for the purposes of metadata or data space resize. * tag 'dm-3.19-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: (49 commits) dm crypt: use memzero_explicit for on-stack buffer dm space map metadata: fix sm_bootstrap_get_count() dm space map metadata: fix sm_bootstrap_get_nr_blocks() dm bufio: fix memleak when using a dm_buffer's inline bio dm cache: fix spurious cell_defer when dealing with partial block at end of device dm cache: dirty flag was mistakenly being cleared when promoting via overwrite dm cache: only use overwrite optimisation for promotion when in writeback mode dm cache: discard block size must be a multiple of cache block size dm cache: fix a harmless race when working out if a block is discarded dm cache: when reloading a discard bitset allow for a different discard block size dm cache: fix some issues with the new discard range support dm array: if resizing the array is a noop set the new root to the old one dm: use rcu_dereference_protected instead of rcu_dereference dm thin: fix pool_io_hints to avoid looking at max_hw_sectors dm thin: suspend/resume active thin devices when reloading thin-pool dm: enhance internal suspend and resume interface dm thin: do not allow thin device activation while pool is suspended dm: add presuspend_undo hook to target_type dm: return earlier from dm_blk_ioctl if target doesn't implement .ioctl dm thin: remove stale 'trim' message in block comment above pool_message ...
2014-12-01dm bufio: fix memleak when using a dm_buffer's inline bioDarrick J. Wong
When dm-bufio sets out to use the bio built into a struct dm_buffer to issue an IO, it needs to call bio_reset after it's done with the bio so that we can free things attached to the bio such as the integrity payload. Therefore, inject our own endio callback to take care of the bio_reset after calling submit_io's end_io callback. Test case: 1. modprobe scsi_debug delay=0 dif=1 dix=199 ato=1 dev_size_mb=300 2. Set up a dm-bufio client, e.g. dm-verity, on the scsi_debug device 3. Repeatedly read metadata and watch kmalloc-192 leak! Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

2014-11-10dm bufio: evict buffers that are past the max age but retain some buffersJoe Thornber
These changes help keep metadata backed by dm-bufio in-core longer which fixes reports of metadata churn in the face of heavy random IO workloads. Before, bufio evicted all buffers older than DM_BUFIO_DEFAULT_AGE_SECS. Having a device (e.g. dm-thinp or dm-cache) lose all metadata just because associated buffers had been idle for some time is unfriendly. Now, the user may now configure the number of bytes that bufio retains using the 'retain_bytes' module parameter. The default is 256K. Also, the DM_BUFIO_WORK_TIMER_SECS and DM_BUFIO_DEFAULT_AGE_SECS defaults were quite low so increase them (to 30 and 300 respectively).

2014-10-17dm bufio: change __GFP_IO to __GFP_FS in shrinker callbacksMikulas Patocka
The shrinker uses gfp flags to indicate what kind of operation can the driver wait for. If __GFP_IO flag is present, the driver can wait for block I/O operations, if __GFP_FS flag is present, the driver can wait on operations involving the filesystem. dm-bufio tested for __GFP_IO. However, dm-bufio can run on a loop block device that makes calls into the filesystem. If __GFP_IO is present and __GFP_FS isn't, dm-bufio could still block on filesystem operations if it runs on a loop block device. The change from __GFP_IO to __GFP_FS supposedly fixes one observed (though unreproducible) deadlock involving dm-bufio and loop device.

2014-10-05dm bufio: when done scanning return from __scan immediatelyMikulas Patocka
When __scan frees the required number of buffer entries that the shrinker requested (nr_to_scan becomes zero) it must return. Before this fix the __scan code exited only the inner loop and continued in the outer loop -- which could result in reduced performance due to extra buffers being freed (e.g. unnecessarily evicted thinp metadata needing to be synchronously re-read into bufio's cache). Also, move dm_bufio_cond_resched to __scan's inner loop, so that iterating the bufio client's lru lists doesn't result in scheduling latency.

2014-10-05dm bufio: update last_accessed when relinking a bufferJoe Thornber
The 'last_accessed' member of the dm_buffer structure was only set when the the buffer was created. This led to each buffer being discarded after dm_bufio_max_age time even if it was used recently. In practice this resulted in all thinp metadata being evicted soon after being read -- this is particularly problematic for metadata intensive workloads like multithreaded small random IO. 'last_accessed' is now updated each time the buffer is moved to the head of the LRU list, so the buffer is now properly discarded if it was not used in dm_bufio_max_age time.

2014-08-01dm bufio: fully initialize shrinkerGreg Thelen
1d3d4437eae1 ("vmscan: per-node deferred work") added a flags field to struct shrinker assuming that all shrinkers were zero filled. The dm bufio shrinker is not zero filled, which leaves arbitrary kmalloc() data in flags. So far the only defined flags bit is SHRINKER_NUMA_AWARE. But there are proposed patches which add other bits to shrinker.flags (e.g. memcg awareness). Rather than simply initializing the shrinker, this patch uses kzalloc() when allocating the dm_bufio_client to ensure that the embedded shrinker and any other similar structures are zeroed. This fixes theoretical over aggressive shrinking of dm bufio objects. If the uninitialized dm_bufio_client.shrinker.flags contains SHRINKER_NUMA_AWARE then shrink_slab() would call the dm shrinker for each numa node rather than just once. This has been broken since 3.12.

2014-07-16sched: Remove proliferation of wait_on_bit() action functionsNeilBrown
The current "wait_on_bit" interface requires an 'action' function to be provided which does the actual waiting. There are over 20 such functions, many of them identical. Most cases can be satisfied by one of just two functions, one which uses io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule(). So: Rename wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock to wait_on_bit_action and wait_on_bit_lock_action to make it explicit that they need an action function. Introduce new wait_on_bit{,_lock} and wait_on_bit{,_lock}_io which are *not* given an action function but implicitly use a standard one. The decision to error-out if a signal is pending is now made based on the 'mode' argument rather than being encoded in the action function. All instances of the old wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock which can use the new version have been changed accordingly and their action functions have been discarded. wait_on_bit{_lock} does not return any specific error code in the event of a signal so the caller must check for non-zero and interpolate their own error code as appropriate. The wait_on_bit() call in __fscache_wait_on_invalidate() was ambiguous as it specified TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE but used fscache_wait_bit_interruptible as an action function. David Howells confirms this should be uniformly "uninterruptible" The main remaining user of wait_on_bit{,_lock}_action is NFS which needs to use a freezer-aware schedule() call. A comment in fs/gfs2/glock.c notes that having multiple 'action' functions is useful as they display differently in the 'wchan' field of 'ps'. (and /proc/$PID/wchan). As the new bit_wait{,_io} functions are tagged "__sched", they will not show up at all, but something higher in the stack. So the distinction will still be visible, only with different function names (gds2_glock_wait versus gfs2_glock_dq_wait in the gfs2/glock.c case). Since first version of this patch (against 3.15) two new action functions appeared, on in NFS and one in CIFS. CIFS also now uses an action function that makes the same freezer aware schedule call as NFS.

2014-01-14dm snapshot: use dm-bufio prefetchMikulas Patocka
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.

2013-09-10drivers: convert shrinkers to new count/scan APIDave Chinner
Convert the driver shrinkers to the new API. Most changes are compile tested only because I either don't have the hardware or it's staging stuff. FWIW, the md and android code is pretty good, but the rest of it makes me want to claw my eyes out. The amount of broken code I just encountered is mind boggling. I've added comments explaining what is broken, but I fear that some of the code would be best dealt with by being dragged behind the bike shed, burying in mud up to it's neck and then run over repeatedly with a blunt lawn mower. Special mention goes to the zcache/zcache2 drivers. They can't co-exist in the build at the same time, they are under different menu options in menuconfig, they only show up when you've got the right set of mm subsystem options configured and so even compile testing is an exercise in pulling teeth. And that doesn't even take into account the horrible, broken code...

2013-07-10dm bufio: submit writes outside lockMikulas Patocka
This patch changes dm-bufio so that it submits write I/Os outside of the lock. If the number of submitted buffers is greater than the number of requests on the target queue, submit_bio blocks. We want to block outside of the lock to improve latency of other threads that may need the lock. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
2013-07-10dm: use __GFP_HIGHMEM in __vmallocMikulas Patocka
Use __GFP_HIGHMEM in __vmalloc. Pages allocated with __vmalloc can be allocated in high memory that is not directly mapped to kernel space, so use __GFP_HIGHMEM just like vmalloc does. This patch reduces memory pressure slightly because pages can be allocated in the high zone. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
2013-05-10dm bufio: avoid a possible __vmalloc deadlockMikulas Patocka
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.

2013-03-20dm verity: avoid deadlockMikulas Patocka
A deadlock was found in the prefetch code in the dm verity map function. This patch fixes this by transferring the prefetch to a worker thread and skipping it completely if kmalloc fails. If generic_make_request is called recursively, it queues the I/O request on the current->bio_list without making the I/O request and returns. The routine making the recursive call cannot wait for the I/O to complete. The deadlock occurs when one thread grabs the bufio_client mutex and waits for an I/O to complete but the I/O is queued on another thread's current->bio_list and is waiting to get the mutex held by the first thread. The fix recognises that prefetching is not essential. If memory can be allocated, it queues the prefetch request to the worker thread, but if not, it does nothing.

2013-02-27hlist: drop the node parameter from iteratorsSasha Levin
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member) The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter: hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually. The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here: @@ iterator name hlist_for_each_entry, hlist_for_each_entry_continue, hlist_for_each_entry_from, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh, for_each_busy_worker, ax25_uid_for_each, ax25_for_each, inet_bind_bucket_for_each, sctp_for_each_hentry, sk_for_each, sk_for_each_rcu, sk_for_each_from, sk_for_each_safe, sk_for_each_bound, hlist_for_each_entry_safe, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu, nr_neigh_for_each, nr_neigh_for_each_safe, nr_node_for_each, nr_node_for_each_safe, for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp, for_each_gfn_sp, for_each_host; type T; expression a,c,d,e; identifier b; statement S; @@ -T b; <+... when != b ( hlist_for_each_entry(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_from(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh(a, - b, c) S | for_each_busy_worker(a, c, - b, d) S | ax25_uid_for_each(a, - b, c) S | ax25_for_each(a, - b, c) S | inet_bind_bucket_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sctp_for_each_hentry(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_rcu(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_from -(a, b) +(a) S + sk_for_each_from(a) S | sk_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | sk_for_each_bound(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_safe(a, - b, c, d, e) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | nr_node_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_node_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d) S | for_each_host(a, - b, c) S | for_each_host_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | for_each_mesh_entry(a, - b, c, d) S ) ...+> [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus change from net/ipv4/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus hunk from net/ipv6/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix warnings] [akpm@linux-foudnation.org: redo intrusive kvm changes] Tested-by: Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@gmail.com> Acked-by: Paul E.

2011-10-31dm: add bufioMikulas Patocka
The dm-bufio interface allows you to do cached I/O on devices, holding recently-read blocks in memory and performing delayed writes. We don't use buffer cache or page cache already present in the kernel, because: * we need to handle block sizes larger than a page * we can't allocate memory to perform reads or we'd have deadlocks Currently, when a cache is required, we limit its size to a fraction of available memory. Usage can be viewed and changed in /sys/module/dm_bufio/parameters/ . The first user is thin provisioning, but more dm users are planned.
