raid5: fix a race of stripe count check
|
|
I hit another BUG_ON with e240c1839d11152b0355442. In __get_priority_stripe(),
stripe count equals to 0 initially. Between atomic_inc and BUG_ON,
get_active_stripe() finds the stripe. So the stripe count isn't 1 any more.
V2: keeps the BUG_ON suggested by Neil.

Commit 003b5c5719f159f4f4bf97511c4702a0638313dd ("block: Convert drivers
to immutable biovecs") incorrectly converted biovec iteration in
dm-verity to always calculate the hash from a full biovec, but the
function only needs to calculate the hash from part of the biovec (up to
the calculated "todo" value).
Fix this issue by limiting hash input to only the requested data size.
This problem was identified using the cryptsetup regression test for
veritysetup (verity-compat-test).

"Just a few md patches for the 3.15 merge window.
Not much happening in md/raid at the moment. Just a few bug fixes

* tag 'md/3.15' of git://neil.brown.name/md:

For sequential workload (or request size big workload), get_active_stripe can
find cached stripe. In this case, we always hold device_lock, which exposes a
lot of lock contention for such workload. If stripe count isn't 0, we don't
need hold the lock actually, since we just increase its count. And this is the
hot code path for such workload. Unfortunately we must delete the BUG_ON.

In NUMA machine, prepare_to_wait/finish_wait in make_request exposes a
lot of contention for sequential workload (or big request size
workload). For such workload, each bio includes several stripes. So we
can just do prepare_to_wait/finish_wait once for the whold bio instead
of every stripe. This reduces the lock contention completely for such
workload. Random workload might have the similar lock contention too,
but I didn't see it yet, maybe because my stroage is still not fast
enough.

If md-mod is unloaded while some process is in poll() or select(),
then that process maintains a pointer to md_event_waiters, and when
the try to unlink from that list, they will oops.
The procfs infrastructure ensures that ->poll won't be called after
remove_proc_entry, but doesn't provide a wait_queue_head for us to
use, and the waitqueue code doesn't provide a way to remove all
listeners from a waitqueue.
So we need to:
1/ make sure no further references to md_event_waiters are taken (by
setting md_unloading)
2/ wake up all processes currently waiting, and
3/ wait until all those processes have disconnected from our
wait_queue_head.

fails.
When performing a user-request check/repair (MD_RECOVERY_REQUEST is set)
on a raid1, we allocate multiple bios each with their own set of pages.
If the page allocations for one bio fails, we currently do *not* free
the pages allocated for the previous bios, nor do we free the bio itself.
This patch frees all the already-allocate pages, and makes sure that
all the bios are freed as well.
This bug can cause a memory leak which can ultimately OOM a machine.
It was introduced in 3.10-rc1.

md bitmap code currently tries to use i_writecount to stop any other
process from writing to out bitmap file. But that is really an abuse
and has bit-rotted so locking is all wrong.
So discard that - root should be allowed to shoot self in foot.
Still use it in a much less intrusive way to stop the same file being
used as bitmap on two different array, and apply other checks to
ensure the file is at least vaguely usable for bitmap storage
(is regular, is open for write. Support for ->bmap is already checked
elsewhere).

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.

Commit c140e1c4e23 ("dm thin: use per thin device deferred bio lists")
incorrectly stopped disabling irqs when taking the pool's spinlock.
Irqs must be disabled when taking the pool's spinlock otherwise a thread
could spin_lock(), then get interrupted to service thin_endio() in
interrupt context, which would then deadlock in spin_lock_irqsave().

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm
Pull device mapper changes from Mike Snitzer:
- Fix dm-cache corruption caused by discard_block_size > cache_block_size
- Fix a lock-inversion detected by LOCKDEP in dm-cache
- Fix a dangling bio bug in the dm-thinp target's process_deferred_bios
error path
- Fix corruption due to non-atomic transaction commit which allowed a
metadata superblock to be written before all other metadata was
successfully written -- this is common to all targets that use the
persistent-data library's transaction manager (dm-thinp, dm-cache and
dm-era).
- Various small cleanups in the DM core
- Add the dm-era target which is useful for keeping track of which
blocks were written within a user defined period of time called an
'era'. Use cases include tracking changed blocks for backup
software, and partially invalidating the contents of a cache to
restore cache coherency after rolling back a vendor snapshot.
- Improve the on-disk layout of multithreaded writes to the
dm-thin-pool by splitting the pool's deferred bio list to be a
per-thin device list and then sorting that list using an rb_tree.
The subsequent read throughput of the data written via multiple
threads improved by ~70%.
- Simplify the multipath target's handling of queuing IO by pushing
requests back to the request queue rather than queueing the IO
internally.

When suspending a cache the policy is walked and the individual policy
hints written to the metadata via sync_metadata(). This led to this
lock order:
policy->lock
cache_metadata->root_lock
When loading the cache target the policy is populated while the metadata
lock is held:
cache_metadata->root_lock
policy->lock
Fix this potential lock-inversion (ABBA) deadlock in sync_metadata() by
ensuring the cache_metadata root_lock is held whilst all the hints are
written, rather than being repeatedly locked while policy->lock is held
(as was the case with each callout that policy_walk_mappings() made to
the old save_hint() method).
Found by turning on the CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING ("Lock debugging: prove
locking correctness") build option. However, it is not clear how the
LOCKDEP reported paths can lead to a deadlock since the two paths,
suspending a target and loading a target, never occur at the same time.
But that doesn't mean the same lock-inversion couldn't have occurred
elsewhere.

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).

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.

process_queued_ios() has served 3 functions:
1) select pg and pgpath if none is selected
2) start pg_init if requested
3) dispatch queued IOs when pg is ready
Basically, a call to queue_work(process_queued_ios) can be replaced by
dm_table_run_md_queue_async(), which runs request queue and ends up
calling map_io(), which does 1), 2) and 3).
Exception is when !pg_ready() (which means either pg_init is running or
requested), then multipath_busy() prevents map_io() being called from
request_fn.
If pg_init is running, it should be ok as long as pg_init_done() does
the right thing when pg_init is completed, I.e.: restart pg_init if
!pg_ready() or call dm_table_run_md_queue_async() to kick map_io().
If pg_init is requested, we have to make sure the request is detected
and pg_init will be started. pg_init is requested in 3 places:
a) __choose_pgpath() in map_io()
b) __choose_pgpath() in multipath_ioctl()
c) pg_init retry in pg_init_done()
a) is ok because map_io() calls __pg_init_all_paths(), which does 2).
b) needs a call to __pg_init_all_paths(), which does 2).
c) needs a call to __pg_init_all_paths(), which does 2).
So this patch removes process_queued_ios() and ensures that
__pg_init_all_paths() is called at the appropriate locations.

There is no reason why multipath needs to queue requests internally for
queue_if_no_path or pg_init; we should rather push them back onto the
request queue.
And while we're at it we can simplify the conditional statement in
map_io() to make it easier to read.
Since mpath no longer does internal queuing of I/O the table info no
longer emits the internal queue_size. Instead it displays 1 if queuing
is being used or 0 if it is not.

The persistent-data library used by dm-thin, dm-cache, etc is
transactional. If anything goes wrong, such as an io error when writing
new metadata or a power failure, then we roll back to the last
transaction.
Atomicity when committing a transaction is achieved by:
a) Never overwriting data from the previous transaction.
b) Writing the superblock last, after all other metadata has hit the
disk.
This commit and the following commit ("dm: take care to copy the space
map roots before locking the superblock") fix a bug associated with (b).
When committing it was possible for the superblock to still be written
in spite of an io error occurring during the preceeding metadata flush.
With these commits we're careful not to take the write lock out on the
superblock until after the metadata flush has completed.
Change the transaction manager's semantics for dm_tm_commit() to assume
all data has been flushed _before_ the single superblock that is passed
in.
As a prerequisite, split the block manager's block unlocking and
flushing by simplifying dm_bm_flush_and_unlock() to dm_bm_flush(). Now
the unlocking must be done separately.
This issue was discovered by forcing io errors at the crucial time
using dm-flakey.

the discard state is being cleared for a group of cache blocks when it
should not.
Completely remove all code that enabled a distinction between the
cache block size and discard block size.

If the discard block size is larger than the cache block size we will
not properly quiesce IO to a region that is about to be discarded. This
results in a race between a cache migration where no copy is needed, and
a write to an adjacent cache block that's within the same large discard
block.
Workaround this by limiting the discard_block_size to cache_block_size.
Also limit the max_discard_sectors to cache_block_size.
A more comprehensive fix that introduces range locking support in the
bio_prison and proper quiescing of a discard range that spans multiple
cache blocks is already in development.

dm-era is a target that behaves similar to the linear target. In
addition it keeps track of which blocks were written within a user
defined period of time called an 'era'. Each era target instance
maintains the current era as a monotonically increasing 32-bit
counter.
Use cases include tracking changed blocks for backup software, and
partially invalidating the contents of a cache to restore cache
coherency after rolling back a vendor snapshot.
dm-era is primarily expected to be paired with the dm-cache target.

Uninlined nested functions can cause crashes when using ftrace, as they don't
follow the normal calling convention and confuse the ftrace function graph
tracer as it examines the stack.
Also, nested functions are supported as a gcc extension, but may fail on other
compilers (e.g. llvm).

gc_gen was a temporary used to recalculate last_gc, but since we only need
bucket->last_gc when gc isn't running (gc_mark_valid = 1), we can just update
last_gc directly.

This was originally added as at optimization that for various reasons isn't
needed anymore, but it does add a lot of nasty corner cases (and it was
responsible for some recently fixed bugs). Just get rid of it now.

This changes the bucket allocation reserves to use _real_ reserves - separate
freelists - instead of watermarks, which if nothing else makes the current code
saner to reason about and is going to be important in the future when we add
support for multiple btrees.
It also adds btree_check_reserve(), which checks (and locks) the reserves for
both bucket allocation and memory allocation for btree nodes; the old code just
kinda sorta assumed that since (e.g. for btree node splits) it had the root
locked and that meant no other threads could try to make use of the same
reserve; this technically should have been ok for memory allocation (we should
always have a reserve for memory allocation (the btree node cache is used as a
reserve and we preallocate it)), but multiple btrees will mean that locking the
root won't be sufficient anymore, and for the bucket allocation reserve it was
technically possible for the old code to deadlock.

With the locking rework in the last patch, this shouldn't be needed anymore -
btree_node_write_work() only takes b->write_lock which is never held for very
long.

Add a new lock, b->write_lock, which is required to actually modify - or write -
a btree node; this lock is only held for short durations.
This means we can write out a btree node without taking b->lock, which _is_ held
for long durations - solving a deadlock when btree_flush_write() (from the
journalling code) is called with a btree node locked.
Right now just occurs in bch_btree_set_root(), but with an upcoming journalling
rework is going to happen a lot more.
This also turns b->lock is now more of a read/intent lock instead of a
read/write lock - but not completely, since it still blocks readers. May turn it
into a real intent lock at some point in the future.

This isn't a bulletproof fix; btree_node_free() -> bch_bucket_free() puts the
bucket on the unused freelist, where it can be reused right away without any
ordering requirements. It would be better to wait on at least a journal write to
go down before reusing the bucket. bch_btree_set_root() does this, and inserting
into non leaf nodes is completely synchronous so we should be ok, but future
patches are just going to get rid of the unused freelist - it was needed in the
past for various reasons but shouldn't be anymore.

This means the garbage collection code can better check for data and metadata

This will potentially save us an allocation when we've got inode/dirent bkeys
that don't fit in the keylist's inline keys.
