2009-09-04dm stripe: expose correct io hintsMike Snitzer
Set sensible I/O hints for striped DM devices in the topology infrastructure added for 2.6.31 for userspace tools to obtain via sysfs. Add .io_hints to 'struct target_type' to allow the I/O hints portion (io_min and io_opt) of the 'struct queue_limits' to be set by each target and implement this for dm-stripe.

2009-09-04dm table: add more context to terse warning messagesMike Snitzer
A couple of recent warning messages make it difficult for the reader to determine exactly what is wrong. This patch adds more information to those messages. The messages were added by these commits: 5dea271b6d87bd1d79a59c1d5baac2596a841c37 ("dm table: pass correct dev area size to device_area_is_valid") ea9df47cc92573b159ef3b4fda516c32cba9c4fd ("dm table: fix blk_stack_limits arg to use bytes not sectors") The patch also corrects references to logical_block_size in printk format strings from %hu to %u.

2009-09-04dm table: fix queue_limit checking device iteratorMikulas Patocka
The logic to check for valid device areas is inverted relative to proper use with iterate_devices. The iterate_devices method calls its callback for every underlying device in the target. If any callback returns non-zero, iterate_devices exits immediately. But the callback device_area_is_valid() returns 0 on error and 1 on success. The overall effect without is that an error is issued only if every device is invalid. This patch renames device_area_is_valid to device_area_is_invalid and inverts the logic so that one invalid device is sufficient to raise an error.

2009-07-23dm table: pass correct dev area size to device_area_is_validMike Snitzer
Incorrect device area lengths are being passed to device_area_is_valid(). The regression appeared in 2.6.31-rc1 through commit 754c5fc7ebb417b23601a6222a6005cc2e7f2913. With the dm-stripe target, the size of the target (ti->len) was used instead of the stripe_width (ti->len/#stripes).

2009-07-23dm: remove queue next_ordered workaround for barriersMike Snitzer
This patch removes DM's bio-based vs request-based conditional setting of next_ordered. For bio-based DM the next_ordered check is no longer a concern (as that check is now in the __make_request path). For request-based DM the default of QUEUE_ORDERED_NONE is now appropriate. bio-based DM was changed to work-around the previously misplaced next_ordered check with this commit: 99360b4c18f7675b50d283301d46d755affe75fd request-based DM does not yet support barriers but reacted to the above bio-based DM change with this commit: 5d67aa2366ccb8257d103d0b43df855605c3c086 The above changes are no longer needed given Neil Brown's recent fix to put the next_ordered check in the __make_request path: db64f680ba4b5c56c4be59f0698000df89ff0281 Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Cc: Jun'ichi Nomura <j-nomura@ce.jp.nec.com> Cc: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Acked-by: Kiyoshi Ueda <k-ueda@ct.jp.nec.com> Acked-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>

2009-06-22dm: enable request based optionKiyoshi Ueda
This patch enables request-based dm. o Request-based dm and bio-based dm coexist, since there are some target drivers which are more fitting to bio-based dm. Also, there are other bio-based devices in the kernel (e.g. md, loop). Since bio-based device can't receive struct request, there are some limitations on device stacking between bio-based and request-based. type of underlying device bio-based request-based ---------------------------------------------- bio-based OK OK request-based -- OK The device type is recognized by the queue flag in the kernel, so dm follows that. o The type of a dm device is decided at the first table binding time. Once the type of a dm device is decided, the type can't be changed. o Mempool allocations are deferred to at the table loading time, since mempools for request-based dm are different from those for bio-based dm and needed mempool type is fixed by the type of table. o Currently, request-based dm supports only tables that have a single target. To support multiple targets, we need to support request splitting or prevent bio/request from spanning multiple targets. The former needs lots of changes in the block layer, and the latter needs that all target drivers support merge() function. Both will take a time.

2009-06-22dm: prepare for request based optionKiyoshi Ueda
This patch adds core functions for request-based dm. When struct mapped device (md) is initialized, md->queue has an I/O scheduler and the following functions are used for request-based dm as the queue functions: make_request_fn: dm_make_request() pref_fn: dm_prep_fn() request_fn: dm_request_fn() softirq_done_fn: dm_softirq_done() lld_busy_fn: dm_lld_busy() Actual initializations are done in another patch (PATCH 2). Below is a brief summary of how request-based dm behaves, including: - making request from bio - cloning, mapping and dispatching request - completing request and bio - suspending md - resuming md bio to request ============== md->queue->make_request_fn() (dm_make_request()) calls __make_request() for a bio submitted to the md. Then, the bio is kept in the queue as a new request or merged into another request in the queue if possible. Cloning and Mapping =================== Cloning and mapping are done in md->queue->request_fn() (dm_request_fn()), when requests are dispatched after they are sorted by the I/O scheduler. dm_request_fn() checks busy state of underlying devices using target's busy() function and stops dispatching requests to keep them on the dm device's queue if busy. It helps better I/O merging, since no merge is done for a request once it is dispatched to underlying devices. Actual cloning and mapping are done in dm_prep_fn() and map_request() called from dm_request_fn(). dm_prep_fn() clones not only request but also bios of the request so that dm can hold bio completion in error cases and prevent the bio submitter from noticing the error. (See the "Completion" section below for details.) After the cloning, the clone is mapped by target's map_rq() function and inserted to underlying device's queue using blk_insert_cloned_request(). Completion ========== Request completion can be hooked by rq->end_io(), but then, all bios in the request will have been completed even error cases, and the bio submitter will have noticed the error. To prevent the bio completion in error cases, request-based dm clones both bio and request and hooks both bio->bi_end_io() and rq->end_io(): bio->bi_end_io(): end_clone_bio() rq->end_io(): end_clone_request() Summary of the request completion flow is below: blk_end_request() for a clone request => blk_update_request() => bio->bi_end_io() == end_clone_bio() for each clone bio => Free the clone bio => Success: Complete the original bio (blk_update_request()) Error: Don't complete the original bio => blk_finish_request() => rq->end_io() == end_clone_request() => blk_complete_request() => dm_softirq_done() => Free the clone request => Success: Complete the original request (blk_end_request()) Error: Requeue the original request end_clone_bio() completes the original request on the size of the original bio in successful cases. Even if all bios in the original request are completed by that completion, the original request must not be completed yet to keep the ordering of request completion for the stacking. So end_clone_bio() uses blk_update_request() instead of blk_end_request(). In error cases, end_clone_bio() doesn't complete the original bio. It just frees the cloned bio and gives over the error handling to end_clone_request(). end_clone_request(), which is called with queue lock held, completes the clone request and the original request in a softirq context (dm_softirq_done()), which has no queue lock, to avoid a deadlock issue on submission of another request during the completion: - The submitted request may be mapped to the same device - Request submission requires queue lock, but the queue lock has been held by itself and it doesn't know that The clone request has no clone bio when dm_softirq_done() is called. So target drivers can't resubmit it again even error cases. Instead, they can ask dm core for requeueing and remapping the original request in that cases. suspend ======= Request-based dm uses stopping md->queue as suspend of the md. For noflush suspend, just stops md->queue. For flush suspend, inserts a marker request to the tail of md->queue. And dispatches all requests in md->queue until the marker comes to the front of md->queue. Then, stops dispatching request and waits for the all dispatched requests to complete. After that, completes the marker request, stops md->queue and wake up the waiter on the suspend queue, md->wait. resume ====== Starts md->queue.

2009-06-22dm: calculate queue limits during resume not loadMike Snitzer
Currently, device-mapper maintains a separate instance of 'struct queue_limits' for each table of each device. When the configuration of a device is to be changed, first its table is loaded and this structure is populated, then the device is 'resumed' and the calculated queue_limits are applied. This places restrictions on how userspace may process related devices, where it is often advantageous to 'load' tables for several devices at once before 'resuming' them together. As the new queue_limits only take effect after the 'resume', if they are changing and one device uses another, the latter must be 'resumed' before the former may be 'loaded'. This patch moves the calculation of these queue_limits out of the 'load' operation into 'resume'. Since we are no longer pre-calculating this struct, we no longer need to maintain copies within our dm structs. dm_set_device_limits() now passes the 'start' of the device's data area (aka pe_start) as the 'offset' to blk_stack_limits(). init_valid_queue_limits() is replaced by blk_set_default_limits().

2009-06-22dm table: establish queue limits by copying table limitsMike Snitzer
Copy the table's queue_limits to the DM device's request_queue. This properly initializes the queue's topology limits and also avoids having to track the evolution of 'struct queue_limits' in dm_table_set_restrictions() Also fixes a bug that was introduced in dm_table_set_restrictions() via commit ae03bf639a5027d27270123f5f6e3ee6a412781d. In addition to establishing 'bounce_pfn' in the queue's limits blk_queue_bounce_limit() also performs an allocation to setup the ISA DMA pool. This allocation resulted in "sleeping function called from invalid context" when called from dm_table_set_restrictions().

2009-01-06dm table: rework reference countingMikulas Patocka
Rework table reference counting. The existing code uses a reference counter. When the last reference is dropped and the counter reaches zero, the table destructor is called. Table reference counters are acquired/released from upcalls from other kernel code (dm_any_congested, dm_merge_bvec, dm_unplug_all). If the reference counter reaches zero in one of the upcalls, the table destructor is called from almost random kernel code. This leads to various problems: * dm_any_congested being called under a spinlock, which calls the destructor, which calls some sleeping function. * the destructor attempting to take a lock that is already taken by the same process. * stale reference from some other kernel code keeps the table constructed, which keeps some devices open, even after successful return from "dmsetup remove". This can confuse lvm and prevent closing of underlying devices or reusing device minor numbers. The patch changes reference counting so that the table destructor can be called only at predetermined places. The table has always exactly one reference from either mapped_device->map or hash_cell->new_map. After this patch, this reference is not counted in table->holders. A pair of dm_create_table/dm_destroy_table functions is used for table creation/destruction. Temporary references from the other code increase table->holders. A pair of dm_table_get/dm_table_put functions is used to manipulate it. When the table is about to be destroyed, we wait for table->holders to reach 0. Then, we call the table destructor. We use active waiting with msleep(1), because the situation happens rarely (to one user in 5 years) and removing the device isn't performance-critical task: the user doesn't care if it takes one tick more or not. This way, the destructor is called only at specific points (dm_table_destroy function) and the above problems associated with lazy destruction can't happen. Finally remove the temporary protection added to dm_any_congested(). Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>

2008-12-03block: fix setting of max_segment_size and seg_boundary maskMilan Broz
Fix setting of max_segment_size and seg_boundary mask for stacked md/dm devices. When stacking devices (LVM over MD over SCSI) some of the request queue parameters are not set up correctly in some cases by default, namely max_segment_size and and seg_boundary mask. If you create MD device over SCSI, these attributes are zeroed. Problem become when there is over this mapping next device-mapper mapping - queue attributes are set in DM this way: request_queue max_segment_size seg_boundary_mask SCSI 65536 0xffffffff MD RAID1 0 0 LVM 65536 -1 (64bit) Unfortunately bio_add_page (resp. bio_phys_segments) calculates number of physical segments according to these parameters. During the generic_make_request() is segment cout recalculated and can increase bio->bi_phys_segments count over the allowed limit. (After bio_clone() in stack operation.) Thi is specially problem in CCISS driver, where it produce OOPS here BUG_ON(creq->nr_phys_segments > MAXSGENTRIES); (MAXSEGENTRIES is 31 by default.) Sometimes even this command is enough to cause oops: dd iflag=direct if=/dev/<vg>/<lv> of=/dev/null bs=128000 count=10 This command generates bios with 250 sectors, allocated in 32 4k-pages (last page uses only 1024 bytes). For LVM layer, it allocates bio with 31 segments (still OK for CCISS), unfortunatelly on lower layer it is recalculated to 32 segments and this violates CCISS restriction and triggers BUG_ON(). The patch tries to fix it by: * initializing attributes above in queue request constructor blk_queue_make_request() * make sure that blk_queue_stack_limits() inherits setting (DM uses its own function to set the limits because it blk_queue_stack_limits() was introduced later. It should probably switch to use generic stack limit function too.) * sets the default seg_boundary value in one place (blkdev.h) * use this mask as default in DM (instead of -1, which differs in 64bit) Bugs related to this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=471639 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8672 Signed-off-by: Milan Broz <mbroz@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com> Cc: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Cc: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp> Cc: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Cc: Mike Miller <mike.miller@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2007-12-20dm: table detect io beyond deviceJun'ichi Nomura
This patch fixes a panic on shrinking a DM device if there is outstanding I/O to the part of the device that is being removed. (Normally this doesn't happen - a filesystem would be resized first, for example.) The bug is that __clone_and_map() assumes dm_table_find_target() always returns a valid pointer. It may fail if a bio arrives from the block layer but its target sector is no longer included in the DM btree. This patch appends an empty entry to table->targets[] which will be returned by a lookup beyond the end of the device. After calling dm_table_find_target(), __clone_and_map() and target_message() check for this condition using dm_target_is_valid(). Sample test script to trigger oops:

Added blk_unplug interface, allowing all invocations of unplugs to result in a generated blktrace UNPLUG. Signed-off-by: Alan D. Brunelle <Alan.Brunelle@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-11-02dm: bounce_pfn limit addedVasily Averin
Device mapper uses its own bounce_pfn that may differ from one on underlying device. In that way dm can build incorrect requests that contain sg elements greater than underlying device is able to handle. This is the cause of slab corruption in i2o layer, occurred on i386 arch when very long direct IO requests are addressed to dm-over-i2o device.

2007-07-24[BLOCK] Get rid of request_queue_t typedefJens Axboe
Some of the code has been gradually transitioned to using the proper struct request_queue, but there's lots left. So do a full sweet of the kernel and get rid of this typedef and replace its uses with the proper type. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
