2020-02-27dm zoned: Fix reference counter initial value of chunk worksShin'ichiro Kawasaki
Dm-zoned initializes reference counters of new chunk works with zero value and refcount_inc() is called to increment the counter. However, the refcount_inc() function handles the addition to zero value as an error and triggers the warning as follows: refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free. WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 1506 at lib/refcount.c:25 refcount_warn_saturate+0x68/0xf0 ... CPU: 7 PID: 1506 Comm: systemd-udevd Not tainted 5.4.0+ #134 ...

After this warning, following refcount API calls for the counter all fail to change the counter value. Fix this by setting the initial reference counter value not zero but one for the new chunk works. Instead, do not call refcount_inc() via dmz_get_chunk_work() for the new chunks works. The failure was observed with linux version 5.4 with CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL enabled. Refcount rework was merged to linux version 5.5 by the commit 168829ad09ca ("Merge branch 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip"). After this commit, CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL was removed and the failure was observed regardless of kernel configuration. Linux version 4.20 merged the commit 092b5648760a ("dm zoned: target: use refcount_t for dm zoned reference counters"). Before this commit, dm zoned used atomic_t APIs which does not check addition to zero, then this fix is not necessary.

2019-11-07dm zoned: reduce overhead of backing device checksDmitry Fomichev
Commit 75d66ffb48efb3 added backing device health checks and as a part of these checks, check_events() block ops template call is invoked in dm-zoned mapping path as well as in reclaim and flush path. Calling check_events() with ATA or SCSI backing devices introduces a blocking scsi_test_unit_ready() call being made in sd_check_events(). Even though the overhead of calling scsi_test_unit_ready() is small for ATA zoned devices, it is much larger for SCSI and it affects performance in a very negative way. Fix this performance regression by executing check_events() only in case of any I/O errors. The function dmz_bdev_is_dying() is modified to call only blk_queue_dying(), while calls to check_events() are made in a new helper function, dmz_check_bdev().

2019-08-15dm zoned: properly handle backing device failureDmitry Fomichev
dm-zoned is observed to lock up or livelock in case of hardware failure or some misconfiguration of the backing zoned device. This patch adds a new dm-zoned target function that checks the status of the backing device. If the request queue of the backing device is found to be in dying state or the SCSI backing device enters offline state, the health check code sets a dm-zoned target flag prompting all further incoming I/O to be rejected. In order to detect backing device failures timely, this new function is called in the request mapping path, at the beginning of every reclaim run and before performing any metadata I/O. The proper way out of this situation is to do dmsetup remove <dm-zoned target> and recreate the target when the problem with the backing device is resolved.

Since at least these errors are transient in nature, it should be possible to retry the failed incoming commands.

My static checker complains about this line from dmz_get_zoned_device() aligned_capacity = dev->capacity & ~(blk_queue_zone_sectors(q) - 1); The problem is that "aligned_capacity" and "dev->capacity" are sector_t type (which is a u64 under most configs) but blk_queue_zone_sectors(q) returns a u32 so the higher 32 bits in aligned_capacity are cleared to zero.

2018-12-07dm zoned: Fix target BIO completion handlingDamien Le Moal
struct bioctx includes the ref refcount_t to track the number of I/O fragments used to process a target BIO as well as ensure that the zone of the BIO is kept in the active state throughout the lifetime of the BIO. However, since decrementing of this reference count is done in the target .end_io method, the function bio_endio() must be called multiple times for read and write target BIOs, which causes problems with the value of the __bi_remaining struct bio field for chained BIOs (e.g. the clone BIO passed by dm core is large and splits into fragments by the block layer), resulting in incorrect values and inconsistencies with the BIO_CHAIN flag setting. This is turn triggers the BUG_ON() call: BUG_ON(atomic_read(&bio->__bi_remaining) <= 0); in bio_remaining_done() called from bio_endio(). Fix this ensuring that bio_endio() is called only once for any target BIO by always using internal clone BIOs for processing any read or write target BIO. This allows reference counting using the target BIO context counter to trigger the target BIO completion bio_endio() call once all data, metadata and other zone work triggered by the BIO complete. Overall, this simplifies the code too as the target .end_io becomes unnecessary and differences between read and write BIO issuing and completion processing disappear.

2017-11-10dm zoned: ignore last smaller runt zoneDamien Le Moal
The SCSI layer allows ZBC drives to have a smaller last runt zone. For such a device, specifying the entire capacity for a dm-zoned target table entry fails because the specified capacity is not aligned on a device zone size indicated in the request queue structure of the device. Fix this problem by ignoring the last runt zone in the entry length when seting up the dm-zoned target (ctr method) and when iterating table entries of the target (iterate_devices method). This allows dm-zoned users to still easily setup a target using the entire device capacity (as mandated by dm-zoned) or the aligned capacity excluding the last runt zone. While at it, replace direct references to the device queue chunk_sectors limit with calls to the accessor blk_queue_zone_sectors().

2017-08-23block: replace bi_bdev with a gendisk pointer and partitions indexChristoph Hellwig
This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code). For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists once per block device. But given that the block layer also does partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is used for said remapping in generic_make_request. Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all over the stack.

2017-06-19dm zoned: drive-managed zoned block device targetDamien Le Moal
The dm-zoned device mapper target provides transparent write access to zoned block devices (ZBC and ZAC compliant block devices). dm-zoned hides to the device user (a file system or an application doing raw block device accesses) any constraint imposed on write requests by the device, equivalent to a drive-managed zoned block device model. Write requests are processed using a combination of on-disk buffering using the device conventional zones and direct in-place processing for requests aligned to a zone sequential write pointer position. A background reclaim process implemented using dm_kcopyd_copy ensures that conventional zones are always available for executing unaligned write requests. The reclaim process overhead is minimized by managing buffer zones in a least-recently-written order and first targeting the oldest buffer zones. Doing so, blocks under regular write access (such as metadata blocks of a file system) remain stored in conventional zones, resulting in no apparent overhead. dm-zoned implementation focus on simplicity and on minimizing overhead (CPU, memory and storage overhead). For a 14TB host-managed disk with 256 MB zones, dm-zoned memory usage per disk instance is at most about 3 MB and as little as 5 zones will be used internally for storing metadata and performing buffer zone reclaim operations. This is achieved using zone level indirection rather than a full block indirection system for managing block movement between zones. dm-zoned primary target is host-managed zoned block devices but it can also be used with host-aware device models to mitigate potential device-side performance degradation due to excessive random writing.
