2017-10-24dm: convert dm_dev_internal.count from atomic_t to refcount_tElena Reshetova
atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference counters with the following properties: - counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set() - a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero - once counter reaches zero, its further increments aren't allowed - counter schema uses basic atomic operations (set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.) Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable. The variable dm_dev_internal.count is used as pure reference counter. Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations.

2017-01-27dm: always defer request allocation to the owner of the request_queueChristoph Hellwig
DM already calls blk_mq_alloc_request on the request_queue of the underlying device if it is a blk-mq device. But now that we allow drivers to allocate additional data and initialize it ahead of time we need to do the same for all drivers. Doing so and using the new cmd_size infrastructure in the block layer greatly simplifies the dm-rq and mpath code, and should also make arbitrary combinations of SQ and MQ devices with SQ or MQ device mapper tables easily possible as a further step.

2016-07-20dm: add infrastructure for DAX supportToshi Kani
Change mapped device to implement direct_access function, dm_blk_direct_access(), which calls a target direct_access function. 'struct target_type' is extended to have target direct_access interface. This function limits direct accessible size to the dm_target's limit with max_io_len(). Add dm_table_supports_dax() to iterate all targets and associated block devices to check for DAX support. To add DAX support to a DM target the target must only implement the direct_access function. Add a new dm type, DM_TYPE_DAX_BIO_BASED, which indicates that mapped device supports DAX and is bio based. This new type is used to assure that all target devices have DAX support and remain that way after QUEUE_FLAG_DAX is set in mapped device. At initial table load, QUEUE_FLAG_DAX is set to mapped device when setting DM_TYPE_DAX_BIO_BASED to the type. Any subsequent table load to the mapped device must have the same type, or else it fails per the check in table_load().

2016-06-10dm mpath: add optional "queue_mode" featureMike Snitzer
Allow a user to specify an optional feature 'queue_mode <mode>' where <mode> may be "bio", "rq" or "mq" -- which corresponds to bio-based, request_fn rq-based, and blk-mq rq-based respectively. If the queue_mode feature isn't specified the default for the "multipath" target is still "rq" but if dm_mod.use_blk_mq is set to Y it'll default to mode "mq". This new queue_mode feature introduces the ability for each multipath device to have its own queue_mode (whereas before this feature all multipath devices effectively had to have the same queue_mode). This commit also goes a long way to eliminate the awkward (ab)use of DM_TYPE_*, the associated filter_md_type() and other relatively fragile and difficult to maintain code.

2016-02-22dm: optimize dm_mq_queue_rq()Mike Snitzer
DM multipath is the only dm-mq target. But that aside, request-based DM only supports tables with a single target that is immutable. Leverage this fact in dm_mq_queue_rq() by using the 'immutable_target' stored in the mapped_device when the table was made active. This saves the need to even take the read-side of the SRCU via dm_{get,put}_live_table. If the active DM table does not have an immutable target (e.g. "error" target was swapped in) then fallback to the slow-path where the target is looked up from the live table.

This patch separates out backing-dev-defs.h which only has the essential definitions and updates blkdev.h to include it. c files which need access to more backing-dev details now include backing-dev.h directly.

2015-05-22block, dm: don't copy bios for request clonesChristoph Hellwig
Currently dm-multipath has to clone the bios for every request sent to the lower devices, which wastes cpu cycles and ties down memory. This patch instead adds a new REQ_CLONE flag that instructs req_bio_endio to not complete bios attached to a request, which we set on clone requests similar to bios in a flush sequence. With this change I/O errors on a path failure only get propagated to dm-multipath, which can then either resubmit the I/O or complete the bios on the original request. I've done some basic testing of this on a Linux target with ALUA support, and it survives path failures during I/O nicely.

Also, you can check what mode a given request-based DM device is using with: cat /sys/block/dm-X/dm/use_blk_mq This change enabled further cleanup and reduced work (e.g. the md->io_pool and md->rq_pool isn't created if using blk-mq).

2015-04-15dm: impose configurable deadline for dm_request_fn's merge heuristicMike Snitzer
Otherwise, for sequential workloads, the dm_request_fn can allow excessive request merging at the expense of increased service time. Add a per-device sysfs attribute to allow the user to control how long a request, that is a reasonable merge candidate, can be queued on the request queue. The resolution of this request dispatch deadline is in microseconds (ranging from 1 to 100000 usecs), to set a 20us deadline: echo 20 > /sys/block/dm-7/dm/rq_based_seq_io_merge_deadline The dm_request_fn's merge heuristic and associated extra accounting is disabled by default (rq_based_seq_io_merge_deadline is 0). This sysfs attribute is not applicable to bio-based DM devices so it will only ever report 0 for them. By allowing a request to remain on the queue it will block others requests on the queue. But introducing a short dequeue delay has proven very effective at enabling certain sequential IO workloads on really fast, yet IOPS constrained, devices to build up slightly larger IOs -- yielding 90+% throughput improvements. Having precise control over the time taken to wait for larger requests to build affords control beyond that of waiting for certain IO sizes to accumulate (which would require a deadline anyway). This knob will only ever make sense with sequential IO workloads and the particular value used is storage configuration specific. Given the expected niche use-case for when this knob is useful it has been deemed acceptable to expose this relatively crude method for crafting optimal IO on specific storage -- especially given the solution is simple yet effective. In the context of DM multipath, it is advisable to tune this sysfs attribute to a value that offers the best performance for the common case (e.g. if 4 paths are expected active, tune for that; if paths fail then performance may be slightly reduced). Alternatives were explored to have request-based DM autotune this value (e.g. if/when paths fail) but they were quickly deemed too fragile and complex to warrant further design and development time. If this problem proves more common as faster storage emerges we'll have to look at elevating a generic solution into the block core.

2015-03-31dm: remove request-based DM queue's lld_busy_fn hookMike Snitzer
DM multipath is the only caller of blk_lld_busy() -- which calls a queue's lld_busy_fn hook. Request-based DM doesn't support stacking multipath devices so there is no reason to register the lld_busy_fn hook on a multipath device's queue using blk_queue_lld_busy(). As such, remove functions dm_lld_busy and dm_table_any_busy_target. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>
2015-02-09dm table: train hybrid target type detection to select blk-mq if appropriateMike Snitzer
Otherwise replacing the multipath target with the error target fails: device-mapper: ioctl: can't change device type after initial table load.

2015-02-09dm: allocate requests in target when stacking on blk-mq devicesMike Snitzer
For blk-mq request-based DM the responsibility of allocating a cloned request is transfered from DM core to the target type. Doing so enables the cloned request to be allocated from the appropriate blk-mq request_queue's pool (only the DM target, e.g. multipath, can know which block device to send a given cloned request to). Care was taken to preserve compatibility with old-style block request completion that requires request-based DM _not_ acquire the clone request's queue lock in the completion path. As such, there are now 2 different request-based DM target_type interfaces: 1) the original .map_rq() interface will continue to be used for non-blk-mq devices -- the preallocated clone request is passed in from DM core. 2) a new .clone_and_map_rq() and .release_clone_rq() will be used for blk-mq devices -- blk_get_request() and blk_put_request() are used respectively from these hooks. dm_table_set_type() was updated to detect if the request-based target is being stacked on blk-mq devices, if so DM_TYPE_MQ_REQUEST_BASED is set. DM core disallows switching the DM table's type after it is set. This means that there is no mixing of non-blk-mq and blk-mq devices within the same request-based DM table.

2014-11-19dm: enhance internal suspend and resume interfaceMike Snitzer
Rename dm_internal_{suspend,resume} to dm_internal_{suspend,resume}_fast -- dm-stats will continue using these methods to avoid all the extra suspend/resume logic that is not needed in order to quickly flush IO. Introduce dm_internal_suspend_noflush() variant that actually calls the mapped_device's target callbacks -- otherwise target-specific hooks are avoided (e.g. dm-thin's thin_presuspend and thin_postsuspend). Common code between dm_internal_{suspend_noflush,resume} and dm_{suspend,resume} was factored out as __dm_{suspend,resume}. Update dm_internal_{suspend_noflush,resume} to always take and release the mapped_device's suspend_lock. Also update dm_{suspend,resume} to be aware of potential for DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG to be set and respond accordingly by interruptibly waiting for the DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG to be cleared. Add lockdep annotation to dm_suspend() and dm_resume(). The existing DM_SUSPEND_FLAG remains unchanged. DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG is set by dm_internal_suspend_noflush() and cleared by dm_internal_resume(). Both DM_SUSPEND_FLAG and DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG may be set if a device was already suspended when dm_internal_suspend_noflush() was called -- this can be thought of as a "nested suspend". A "nested suspend" can occur with legacy userspace dm-thin code that might suspend all active thin volumes before suspending the pool for resize. But otherwise, in the normal dm-thin-pool suspend case moving forward: the thin-pool will have DM_SUSPEND_FLAG set and all active thins from that thin-pool will have DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG set. Also add DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG to status report. This new DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG state is being reported to assist with debugging (e.g. 'dmsetup info' will report an internally suspended device accordingly).

2014-10-05dm: allow active and inactive tables to share dm_devsBenjamin Marzinski
Until this change, when loading a new DM table, DM core would re-open all of the devices in the DM table. Now, DM core will avoid redundant device opens (and closes when destroying the old table) if the old table already has a device open using the same mode. This is achieved by managing reference counts on the table_devices that DM core now stores in the mapped_device structure (rather than in the dm_table structure). So a mapped_device's active and inactive dm_tables' dm_dev lists now just point to the dm_devs stored in the mapped_device's table_devices list. This improvement in DM core's device reference counting has the side-effect of fixing a long-standing limitation of the multipath target: a DM multipath table couldn't include any paths that were unusable (failed). For example: if all paths have failed and you add a new, working, path to the table; you can't use it since the table load would fail due to it still containing failed paths. Now a re-load of a multipath table can include failed devices and when those devices become active again they can be used instantly. The device list code in dm.c isn't a straight copy/paste from the code in dm-table.c, but it's very close (aside from some variable renames). One subtle difference is that find_table_device for the tables_devices list will only match devices with the same name and mode. This is because we don't want to upgrade a device's mode in the active table when an inactive table is loaded. Access to the mapped_device structure's tables_devices list requires a mutex (tables_devices_lock), so that tables cannot be created and destroyed concurrently.

2014-01-14dm sysfs: fix a module unload raceMikulas Patocka
This reverts commit be35f48610 ("dm: wait until embedded kobject is released before destroying a device") and provides an improved fix. The kobject release code that calls the completion must be placed in a non-module file, otherwise there is a module unload race (if the process calling dm_kobject_release is preempted and the DM module unloaded after the completion is triggered, but before dm_kobject_release returns). To fix this race, this patch moves the completion code to dm-builtin.c which is always compiled directly into the kernel if BLK_DEV_DM is selected. The patch introduces a new dm_kobject_holder structure, its purpose is to keep the completion and kobject in one place, so that it can be accessed from non-module code without the need to export the layout of struct mapped_device to that code.

2014-01-07dm: wait until embedded kobject is released before destroying a deviceMikulas Patocka
There may be other parts of the kernel holding a reference on the dm kobject. We must wait until all references are dropped before deallocating the mapped_device structure. The dm_kobject_release method signals that all references are dropped via completion. But dm_kobject_release doesn't free the kobject (which is embedded in the mapped_device structure). This is the sequence of operations: * when destroying a DM device, call kobject_put from dm_sysfs_exit * wait until all users stop using the kobject, when it happens the release method is called * the release method signals the completion and should return without delay * the dm device removal code that waits on the completion continues * the dm device removal code drops the dm_mod reference the device had * the dm device removal code frees the mapped_device structure that contains the kobject Using kobject this way should avoid the module unload race that was mentioned at the beginning of this thread: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/1/4/83 Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

This patch allows the removal of an open device to be deferred until it is closed. (Previously such a removal attempt would fail.) The deferred remove functionality is enabled by setting the flag DM_DEFERRED_REMOVE in the ioctl structure on DM_DEV_REMOVE or DM_REMOVE_ALL ioctl. On return from DM_DEV_REMOVE, the flag DM_DEFERRED_REMOVE indicates if the device was removed immediately or flagged to be removed on close - if the flag is clear, the device was removed. On return from DM_DEV_STATUS and other ioctls, the flag DM_DEFERRED_REMOVE is set if the device is scheduled to be removed on closure. A device that is scheduled to be deleted can be revived using the message "@cancel_deferred_remove". This message clears the DMF_DEFERRED_REMOVE flag so that the device won't be deleted on close.

2013-09-05dm: add statistics supportMikulas Patocka
Support the collection of I/O statistics on user-defined regions of a DM device. If no regions are defined no statistics are collected so there isn't any performance impact. Only bio-based DM devices are currently supported. Each user-defined region specifies a starting sector, length and step. Individual statistics will be collected for each step-sized area within the range specified. The I/O statistics counters for each step-sized area of a region are in the same format as /sys/block/*/stat or /proc/diskstats but extra counters (12 and 13) are provided: total time spent reading and writing in milliseconds. All these counters may be accessed by sending the @stats_print message to the appropriate DM device via dmsetup. The creation of DM statistics will allocate memory via kmalloc or fallback to using vmalloc space. At most, 1/4 of the overall system memory may be allocated by DM statistics. The admin can see how much memory is used by reading /sys/module/dm_mod/parameters/stats_current_allocated_bytes See Documentation/device-mapper/statistics.txt for more details.

2013-09-05dm: allow error target to replace bio-based and request-based targetsMike Snitzer
It may be useful to switch a request-based table to the "error" target. Enhance the DM core to allow a hybrid target_type which is capable of handling either bios (via .map) or requests (via .map_rq). Add a request-based map function (.map_rq) to the "error" target_type; making it DM's first hybrid target.

2012-12-21dm: introduce per_bio_dataMikulas Patocka
Introduce a field per_bio_data_size in struct dm_target. Targets can set this field in the constructor. If a target sets this field to a non-zero value, "per_bio_data_size" bytes of auxiliary data are allocated for each bio submitted to the target. These data can be used for any purpose by the target and help us improve performance by removing some per-target mempools. Per-bio data is accessed with dm_per_bio_data. The argument data_size must be the same as the value per_bio_data_size in dm_target. If the target has a pointer to per_bio_data, it can get a pointer to the bio with dm_bio_from_per_bio_data() function (data_size must be the same as the value passed to dm_per_bio_data).

2012-09-26dm: retain table limits when swapping to new table with no devicesMike Snitzer
Add a safety net that will re-use the DM device's existing limits in the event that DM device has a temporary table that doesn't have any component devices. This is to reduce the chance that requests not respecting the hardware limits will reach the device. DM recalculates queue limits based only on devices which currently exist in the table. This creates a problem in the event all devices are temporarily removed such as all paths being lost in multipath. DM will reset the limits to the maximum permissible, which can then assemble requests which exceed the limits of the paths when the paths are restored. The request will fail the blk_rq_check_limits() test when sent to a path with lower limits, and will be retried without end by multipath. This became a much bigger issue after v3.6 commit fe86cdcef ("block: do not artificially constrain max_sectors for stacking drivers").

Commit outstanding metadata before returning the status for a dm thin pool so that the numbers reported are as up-to-date as possible. The commit is not performed if the device is suspended or if the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG is supplied by userspace and passed to the target through a new 'status_flags' parameter in the target's dm_status_fn. The userspace dmsetup tool will support the --noflush flag with the 'dmsetup status' and 'dmsetup wait' commands from version 1.02.76 onwards.

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.

2011-03-17block: Require subsystems to explicitly allocate bio_set integrity mempoolMartin K. Petersen
MD and DM create a new bio_set for every metadevice. Each bio_set has an integrity mempool attached regardless of whether the metadevice is capable of passing integrity metadata. This is a waste of memory. Instead we defer the allocation decision to MD and DM since we know at metadevice creation time whether integrity passthrough is needed or not. Automatic integrity mempool allocation can then be removed from bioset_create() and we make an explicit integrity allocation for the fs_bio_set. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

2010-08-12dm: do not initialise full request queue when bio basedMike Snitzer
Change bio-based mapped devices no longer to have a fully initialized request_queue (request_fn, elevator, etc). This means bio-based DM devices no longer register elevator sysfs attributes ('iosched/' tree or 'scheduler' other than "none"). In contrast, a request-based DM device will continue to have a full request_queue and will register elevator sysfs attributes. Therefore a user can determine a DM device's type by checking if elevator sysfs attributes exist. First allocate a minimalist request_queue structure for a DM device (needed for both bio and request-based DM). Initialization of a full request_queue is deferred until it is known that the DM device is request-based, at the end of the table load sequence. Factor DM device's request_queue initialization: - common to both request-based and bio-based into dm_init_md_queue(). - specific to request-based into dm_init_request_based_queue(). The md->type_lock mutex is used to protect md->queue, in addition to md->type, during table_load(). A DM device's first table_load will establish the immutable md->type. But md->queue initialization, based on md->type, may fail at that time (because blk_init_allocated_queue cannot allocate memory). Therefore any subsequent table_load must (re)try dm_setup_md_queue independently of establishing md->type.

2010-08-12dm ioctl: make bio or request based device type immutableMike Snitzer
Determine whether a mapped device is bio-based or request-based when loading its first (inactive) table and don't allow that to be changed later. This patch performs different device initialisation in each of the two cases. (We don't think it's necessary to add code to support changing between the two types.) Allowed md->type transitions: DM_TYPE_NONE to DM_TYPE_BIO_BASED DM_TYPE_NONE to DM_TYPE_REQUEST_BASED We now prevent table_load from replacing the inactive table with a conflicting type of table even after an explicit table_clear. Introduce 'type_lock' into the struct mapped_device to protect md->type and to prepare for the next patch that will change the queue initialization and allocate memory while md->type_lock is held.

2010-08-12dm: separate device deletion from dm_putKiyoshi Ueda
This patch separates the device deletion code from dm_put() to make sure the deletion happens in the process context. By this patch, device deletion always occurs in an ioctl (process) context and dm_put() can be called in interrupt context. As a result, the request-based dm's bad dm_put() usage pointed out by Mikulas below disappears. http://marc.info/?l=dm-devel&m=126699981019735&w=2 Without this patch, I confirmed there is a case to crash the system: dm_put() => dm_table_destroy() => vfree() => BUG_ON(in_interrupt()) Some more backgrounds and details: In request-based dm, a device opener can remove a mapped_device while the last request is still completing, because bios in the last request complete first and then the device opener can close and remove the mapped_device before the last request completes: CPU0 CPU1 ================================================================= <<INTERRUPT>> blk_end_request_all(clone_rq) blk_update_request(clone_rq) bio_endio(clone_bio) == end_clone_bio blk_update_request(orig_rq) bio_endio(orig_bio) <<I/O completed>> dm_blk_close() dev_remove() dm_put(md) <<Free md>> blk_finish_request(clone_rq) .... dm_end_request(clone_rq) free_rq_clone(clone_rq) blk_end_request_all(orig_rq) rq_completed(md) So request-based dm used dm_get()/dm_put() to hold md for each I/O until its request completion handling is fully done. However, the final dm_put() can call the device deletion code which must not be run in interrupt context and may cause kernel panic. To solve the problem, this patch moves the device deletion code, dm_destroy(), to predetermined places that is actually deleting the mapped_device in ioctl (process) context, and changes dm_put() just to decrement the reference count of the mapped_device. By this change, dm_put() can be used in any context and the symmetric model below is introduced: dm_create(): create a mapped_device dm_destroy(): destroy a mapped_device dm_get(): increment the reference count of a mapped_device dm_put(): decrement the reference count of a mapped_device dm_destroy() waits for all references of the mapped_device to disappear, then deletes the mapped_device. dm_destroy() uses active waiting with msleep(1), since deleting the mapped_device isn't performance-critical task. And since at this point, nobody opens the mapped_device and no new reference will be taken, the pending counts are just for racing completing activity and will eventually decrease to zero. For the unlikely case of the forced module unload, dm_destroy_immediate(), which doesn't wait and forcibly deletes the mapped_device, is also introduced and used in dm_hash_remove_all(). Otherwise, "rmmod -f" may be stuck and never return. And now, because the mapped_device is deleted at this point, subsequent accesses to the mapped_device may cause NULL pointer references.
