2014-11-10dm thin: throttle incoming IOJoe Thornber
Throttle IO based on the time it's taking the worker to do one loop. There were reports of hung task timeouts occuring and it was observed that the excessively long avgqu-sz (as reported by iostat) was contributing to these hung tasks. Throttling definitely helps dm-thinp perform better under heavy IO load (without being detremental by being overzealous). It reduces avgqu-sz drastically, e.g.: from 60K to ~6K, and even as low as 150 once metadata is cached by bufio, when dirty_ratio=5, dirty_background_ratio=2. And avgqu-sz stays at or below 30K even with dirty_ratio=20, dirty_background_ratio=10. Signed-off-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

2014-08-01dm thin: set minimum_io_size to pool's data block sizeMike Snitzer
Before, if the block layer's limit stacking didn't establish an optimal_io_size that was compatible with the thin-pool's data block size we'd set optimal_io_size to the data block size and minimum_io_size to 0 (which the block layer adjusts to be physical_block_size). Update pool_io_hints() to set both minimum_io_size and optimal_io_size to the thin-pool's data block size. This fixes an issue reported where mkfs.xfs would create more XFS Allocation Groups on thinp volumes than on a normal linear LV of comparable size, see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1003227 Reported-by: Chris Murphy <lists@colorremedies.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

2014-06-11dm thin: update discard_granularity to reflect the thin-pool blocksizeLukas Czerner
DM thinp already checks whether the discard_granularity of the data device is a factor of the thin-pool block size. But when using the dm-thin-pool's discard passdown support, DM thinp was not selecting the max of the underlying data device's discard_granularity and the thin-pool's block size. Update set_discard_limits() to set discard_granularity to the max of these values. This enables blkdev_issue_discard() to properly align the discards that are sent to the DM thin device on a full block boundary. As such each discard will now cover an entire DM thin-pool block and the block will be reclaimed.

2014-05-20dm thin: add 'no_space_timeout' dm-thin-pool module paramMike Snitzer
Commit 85ad643b ("dm thin: add timeout to stop out-of-data-space mode holding IO forever") introduced a fixed 60 second timeout. Users may want to either disable or modify this timeout. Allow the out-of-data-space timeout to be configured using the 'no_space_timeout' dm-thin-pool module param. Setting it to 0 will disable the timeout, resulting in IO being queued until more data space is added to the thin-pool.

2014-05-14dm thin: add timeout to stop out-of-data-space mode holding IO foreverJoe Thornber
If the pool runs out of data space, dm-thin can be configured to either error IOs that would trigger provisioning, or hold those IOs until the pool is resized. Unfortunately, holding IOs until the pool is resized can result in a cascade of tasks hitting the hung_task_timeout, which may render the system unavailable. Add a fixed timeout so IOs can only be held for a maximum of 60 seconds. If LVM is going to resize a thin-pool that is out of data space it needs to be prompt about it.

Commit 3e1a0699 ("dm thin: fix out of data space handling") introduced a regression in the metadata commit() method by returning an error if the pool is in PM_OUT_OF_DATA_SPACE mode.

2014-04-08dm thin: fix rcu_read_lock being held in code that can sleepJoe Thornber
Commit c140e1c4e23 ("dm thin: use per thin device deferred bio lists") introduced the use of an rculist for all active thin devices. The use of rcu_read_lock() in process_deferred_bios() can result in a BUG if a dm_bio_prison_cell must be allocated as a side-effect of bio_detain(): BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/mempool.c:203 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 6, name: kworker/u8:0 3 locks held by kworker/u8:0/6: #0: ("dm-" "thin"){.+.+..}, at: [<ffffffff8106be42>] process_one_work+0x192/0x550 #1: ((&pool->worker)){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff8106be42>] process_one_work+0x192/0x550 #2: (rcu_read_lock){.+.+..}, at: [<ffffffff816360b5>] do_worker+0x5/0x4d0 We can't process deferred bios with the rcu lock held, since dm_bio_prison_cell allocation may block if the bio-prison's cell mempool is exhausted. To fix: - Introduce a refcount and completion field to each thin_c - Add thin_get/put methods for adjusting the refcount. If the refcount hits zero then the completion is triggered. - Initialise refcount to 1 when creating thin_c - When iterating the active_thins list we thin_get() whilst the rcu lock is held. - After the rcu lock is dropped we process the deferred bios for that thin. - When destroying a thin_c we thin_put() and then wait for the completion -- to avoid a race between the worker thread iterating from that thin_c and destroying the thin_c.

2014-04-04dm thin: sort the per thin deferred bios using an rb_treeMike Snitzer
A thin-pool will allocate blocks using FIFO order for all thin devices which share the thin-pool. Because of this simplistic allocation the thin-pool's space can become fragmented quite easily; especially when multiple threads are requesting blocks in parallel. Sort each thin device's deferred_bio_list based on logical sector to help reduce fragmentation of the thin-pool's ondisk layout. The following tables illustrate the realized gains/potential offered by sorting each thin device's deferred_bio_list. An "io size"-sized random read of the device would result in "seeks/io" fragments being read, with an average "distance/seek" between each fragment. Data was written to a single thin device using multiple threads via iozone (8 threads, 64K for both the block_size and io_size). unsorted: io size seeks/io distance/seek -------------------------------------- 4k 0.000 0b 16k 0.013 11m 64k 0.065 11m 256k 0.274 10m 1m 1.109 10m 4m 4.411 10m 16m 17.097 11m 64m 60.055 13m 256m 148.798 25m 1g 809.929 21m sorted: io size seeks/io distance/seek -------------------------------------- 4k 0.000 0b 16k 0.000 1g 64k 0.001 1g 256k 0.003 1g 1m 0.011 1g 4m 0.045 1g 16m 0.181 1g 64m 0.747 1011m 256m 3.299 1g 1g 14.373 1g Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Acked-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com>
2014-03-31dm thin: use per thin device deferred bio listsMike Snitzer
The thin-pool previously only had a single deferred_bios list that would collect bios for all thin devices in the pool. Split this per-pool deferred_bios list out to per-thin deferred_bios_list -- doing so enables increased parallelism when processing deferred bios. And now that each thin device has it's own deferred_bios_list we can sort all bios in the list using logical sector. The requeue code in error handling path is also cleaner as a side-effect.

i) by the time DM core calls the postsuspend hook the dm_noflush flag has been cleared. So the old thin_postsuspend did nothing. We need to use the presuspend hook instead. ii) There was a race between bios leaving DM core and arriving in the deferred queue. thin_presuspend now sets a 'requeue' flag causing all bios destined for that thin to be requeued back to DM core. Then it requeues all held IO, and all IO on the deferred queue (destined for that thin). Finally postsuspend clears the 'requeue' flag.

2014-03-05dm thin: fix out of data space handlingJoe Thornber
Ideally a thin pool would never run out of data space; the low water mark would trigger userland to extend the pool before we completely run out of space. However, many small random IOs to unprovisioned space can consume data space at an alarming rate. Adjust your low water mark if you're frequently seeing "out-of-data-space" mode. Before this fix, if data space ran out the pool would be put in PM_READ_ONLY mode which also aborted the pool's current metadata transaction (data loss for any changes in the transaction). This had a side-effect of needlessly compromising data consistency. And retry of queued unserviceable bios, once the data pool was resized, could initiate changes to potentially inconsistent pool metadata. Now when the pool's data space is exhausted transition to a new pool mode (PM_OUT_OF_DATA_SPACE) that allows metadata to be changed but data may not be allocated. This allows users to remove thin volumes or discard data to recover data space. The pool is no longer put in PM_READ_ONLY mode in response to the pool running out of data space. And PM_READ_ONLY mode no longer aborts the pool's current metadata transaction. Also, set_pool_mode() will now notify userspace when the pool mode is changed.

2014-03-05dm thin: ensure user takes action to validate data and metadata consistencyMike Snitzer
If a thin metadata operation fails the current transaction will abort, whereby causing potential for IO layers up the stack (e.g. filesystems) to have data loss. As such, set THIN_METADATA_NEEDS_CHECK_FLAG in the thin metadata's superblock which: 1) requires the user verify the thin metadata is consistent (e.g. use thin_check, etc) 2) suggests the user verify the thin data is consistent (e.g. use fsck) The only way to clear the superblock's THIN_METADATA_NEEDS_CHECK_FLAG is to run thin_repair. On metadata operation failure: abort current metadata transaction, set pool in read-only mode, and now set the needs_check flag. As part of this change, constraints are introduced or relaxed: * don't allow a pool to transition to write mode if needs_check is set * don't allow data or metadata space to be resized if needs_check is set * if a thin pool's metadata space is exhausted: the kernel will now force the user to take the pool offline for repair before the kernel will allow the metadata space to be extended. Also, update Documentation to include information about when the thin provisioning target commits metadata, how it handles metadata failures and running out of space.

2014-03-04dm thin: synchronize the pool mode during suspendMike Snitzer
Commit b5330655 ("dm thin: handle metadata failures more consistently") increased potential for the pool's mode to be changed in response to metadata operation failures. When the pool mode is changed it isn't synchronized with the mode in pool_features stored in the target's context (ti->private) that is used as the basis for (re)establishing the pool mode during resume via bind_control_target. It is important that we synchronize the pool mode when it is changed otherwise the pool may experience and unexpected mode transition on the next resume (especially if there was no new table load).

2014-02-27dm thin: allow metadata space larger than supported to go unusedMike Snitzer
It was always intended that a user could provide a thin metadata device that is larger than the max supported by the on-disk format. The extra space would just go unused. Unfortunately that never worked. If the user attempted to use a larger metadata device on creation they would get an error like the following: device-mapper: space map common: space map too large device-mapper: transaction manager: couldn't create metadata space map device-mapper: thin metadata: tm_create_with_sm failed device-mapper: table: 252:17: thin-pool: Error creating metadata object device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table Fix this by allowing the initial metadata space map creation to cap its size at the max number of blocks supported (DM_SM_METADATA_MAX_BLOCKS). get_metadata_dev_size() must also impose DM_SM_METADATA_MAX_BLOCKS (via THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS), otherwise extending metadata would cap at THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS_WARNING (which is larger than supported). Also, the calculation for THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS didn't account for the sizeof the disk_bitmap_header. So the supported maximum metadata size is a bit smaller (reduced from 33423360 to 33292800 sectors). Lastly, remove the "excess space will not be used" warning message from get_metadata_dev_size(); it resulted in printing the warning multiple times.

2014-01-07dm thin: eliminate the no_free_space flagMike Snitzer
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.

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().

2014-01-07dm thin: handle metadata failures more consistentlyJoe Thornber
Introduce metadata_operation_failed() wrappers, around set_pool_mode(), to assist with improving the consistency of how metadata failures are handled. Logging is improved and metadata operation failures trigger read-only mode immediately. Also, eliminate redundant set_pool_mode() calls in the two alloc_data_block() caller's error paths.

2014-01-07dm thin: add mappings to end of prepared_* listsMike Snitzer
Mappings could be processed in descending logical block order, particularly if buffered IO is used. This could adversely affect the latency of IO processing.

2014-01-07dm thin: fix discard support to a previously shared blockJoe Thornber
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.

2013-12-10dm thin: allow pool in read-only mode to transition to read-write modeJoe Thornber
A thin-pool may be in read-only mode because the pool's data or metadata space was exhausted. To allow for recovery, by adding more space to the pool, we must allow a pool to transition from PM_READ_ONLY to PM_WRITE mode. Otherwise, running out of space will render the pool permanently read-only. Signed-off-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
2013-12-10dm thin: re-establish read-only state when switching to fail modeJoe Thornber
If the thin-pool transitioned to fail mode and the thin-pool's table were reloaded for some reason: the new table's default pool mode would be read-write, though it will transition to fail mode during resume. When the pool mode transitions directly from PM_WRITE to PM_FAIL we need to re-establish the intermediate read-only state in both the metadata and persistent-data block manager (as is usually done with the normal pool mode transition sequence: PM_WRITE -> PM_READ_ONLY -> PM_FAIL).

2013-11-23block: Generic bio chainingKent Overstreet
This adds a generic mechanism for chaining bio completions. This is going to be used for a bio_split() replacement, and it turns out to be very useful in a fair amount of driver code - a fair number of drivers were implementing this in their own roundabout ways, often painfully. Note that this means it's no longer to call bio_endio() more than once on the same bio! This can cause problems for drivers that save/restore bi_end_io. Arguably they shouldn't be saving/restoring bi_end_io at all - in all but the simplest cases they'd be better off just cloning the bio, and immutable biovecs is making bio cloning cheaper. But for now, we add a bio_endio_nodec() for these cases. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
