2011-08-02dm flakey: support feature argsMike Snitzer
Add the ability to specify arbitrary feature flags when creating a flakey target. This code uses the same target argument helpers that the multipath target does. Also remove the superfluous 'dm-flakey' prefixes from the error messages, as they already contain the prefix 'flakey'.

2011-08-02dm snapshot: skip reading origin when overwriting complete chunkMikulas Patocka
If we write a full chunk in the snapshot, skip reading the origin device because the whole chunk will be overwritten anyway. This patch changes the snapshot write logic when a full chunk is written. In this case: 1. allocate the exception 2. dispatch the bio (but don't report the bio completion to device mapper) 3. write the exception record 4. report bio completed Callbacks must be done through the kcopyd thread, because callbacks must not race with each other. So we create two new functions: dm_kcopyd_prepare_callback: allocate a job structure and prepare the callback. (This function must not be called from interrupt context.) dm_kcopyd_do_callback: submit callback. (This function may be called from interrupt context.) Performance test (on snapshots with 4k chunk size): without the patch: non-direct-io sequential write (dd): 17.7MB/s direct-io sequential write (dd): 20.9MB/s non-direct-io random write (mkfs.ext2): 0.44s with the patch: non-direct-io sequential write (dd): 26.5MB/s direct-io sequential write (dd): 33.2MB/s non-direct-io random write (mkfs.ext2): 0.27s Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
2011-08-02dm: ignore merge_bvec for snapshots when safeMikulas Patocka
Add a new flag DMF_MERGE_IS_OPTIONAL to struct mapped_device to indicate whether the device can accept bios larger than the size its merge function returns. When set, use this to send large bios to snapshots which can split them if necessary. Snapshot I/O may be significantly fragmented and this approach seems to improve peformance. Before the patch, dm_set_device_limits restricted bio size to page size if the underlying device had a merge function and the target didn't provide a merge function. After the patch, dm_set_device_limits restricts bio size to page size if the underlying device has a merge function, doesn't have DMF_MERGE_IS_OPTIONAL flag and the target doesn't provide a merge function. The snapshot target can't provide a merge function because when the merge function is called, it is impossible to determine where the bio will be remapped. Previously this led us to impose a 4k limit, which we can now remove if the snapshot store is located on a device without a merge function. Together with another patch for optimizing full chunk writes, it improves performance from 29MB/s to 40MB/s when writing to the filesystem on snapshot store. If the snapshot store is placed on a non-dm device with a merge function (such as md-raid), device mapper still limits all bios to page size.

2011-08-02dm table: fix discard supportMike Snitzer
Remove 'discards_supported' from the dm_table structure. The same information can be easily discovered from the table's target(s) in dm_table_supports_discards(). Before this fix dm_table_supports_discards() would skip checking the individual targets' 'discards_supported' flag if any one target in the table didn't set num_discard_requests > 0. Now the per-target 'discards_supported' flag is effective at insuring the final DM device advertises discard support. But, to be clear, targets that don't support discards (!num_discard_requests) will not receive discard requests. Also DMWARN if a target sets 'discards_supported' override but forgets to set 'num_discard_requests'.

2011-08-02dm io: flush cpu cache with vmapped ioMikulas Patocka
For normal kernel pages, CPU cache is synchronized by the dma layer. However, this is not done for pages allocated with vmalloc. If we do I/O to/from vmallocated pages, we must synchronize CPU cache explicitly. Prior to doing I/O on vmallocated page we must call flush_kernel_vmap_range to flush dirty cache on the virtual address. After finished read we must call invalidate_kernel_vmap_range to invalidate cache on the virtual address, so that accesses to the virtual address return newly read data and not stale data from CPU cache. This patch fixes metadata corruption on dm-snapshots on PA-RISC and possibly other architectures with caches indexed by virtual address.

2011-08-02bnx2x: Prevent restarting Tx during bnx2x_nic_unloadVladislav Zolotarov
Tx queues were stopped before bp->state was changed to a value different from BNX2X_STATE_OPEN, which allowed the bnx2x_tx_int() called from the NAPI context to re-enable it. This then allowed the netdev->ndo_start_xmit() to be called in the middle of the function reset and rings freeing. This patch changes bp->state to a value different from BNX2X_STATE_OPEN BEFORE disabling the Tx queues in order to restore the broken protection against the above race in the bnx2x_tx_int().

2011-08-01oom: task->mm == NULL doesn't mean the memory was freedOleg Nesterov
exit_mm() sets ->mm == NULL then it does mmput()->exit_mmap() which frees the memory. However select_bad_process() checks ->mm != NULL before TIF_MEMDIE, so it continues to kill other tasks even if we have the oom-killed task freeing its memory. Change select_bad_process() to check ->mm after TIF_MEMDIE, but skip the tasks which have already passed exit_notify() to ensure a zombie with TIF_MEMDIE set can't block oom-killer. Alternatively we could probably clear TIF_MEMDIE after exit_mmap().
