* dm io: fix discard supportMilan Broz2012-03-071-7/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a crash by recognising discards in dm_io. Currently dm_mirror can send REQ_DISCARD bios if running over a discard-enabled device and without support in dm_io the system crashes badly. BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 00800000 IP: __bio_add_page.part.17+0xf5/0x1e0 ... bio_add_page+0x56/0x70 dispatch_io+0x1cf/0x240 [dm_mod] ? km_get_page+0x50/0x50 [dm_mod] ? vm_next_page+0x20/0x20 [dm_mod] ? mirror_flush+0x130/0x130 [dm_mirror] dm_io+0xdc/0x2b0 [dm_mod] ...

* dm io: flush cpu cache with vmapped ioMikulas Patocka2011-08-021-2/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* dm io: use fixed initial mempool sizeMikulas Patocka2011-05-291-22/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace the arbitrary calculation of an initial io struct mempool size with a constant. The code calculated the number of reserved structures based on the request size and used a "magic" multiplication constant of 4. This patch changes it to reserve a fixed number - itself still chosen quite arbitrarily. Further testing might show if there is a better number to choose. Note that if there is no memory pressure, we can still allocate an arbitrary number of "struct io" structures. One structure is enough to process the whole request.

* block: kill off REQ_UNPLUGJens Axboe2011-03-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | With the plugging now being explicitly controlled by the submitter, callers need not pass down unplugging hints to the block layer. If they want to unplug, it's because they manually plugged on their own - in which case, they should just unplug at will. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>
* dm: implement REQ_FLUSH/FUA support for bio-based dmTejun Heo2010-09-101-16/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch converts bio-based dm to support REQ_FLUSH/FUA instead of now deprecated REQ_HARDBARRIER. * -EOPNOTSUPP handling logic dropped. * Preflush is handled as before but postflush is dropped and replaced with passing down REQ_FUA to member request_queues. This replaces one array wide cache flush w/ member specific FUA writes. * __split_and_process_bio() now calls __clone_and_map_flush() directly for flushes and guarantees all FLUSH bio's going to targets are zero ` length. * It's now guaranteed that all FLUSH bio's which are passed onto dm targets are zero length. bio_empty_barrier() tests are replaced with REQ_FLUSH tests. * Empty WRITE_BARRIERs are replaced with WRITE_FLUSHes. * Dropped unlikely() around REQ_FLUSH tests. Flushes are not unlikely enough to be marked with unlikely(). * Block layer now filters out REQ_FLUSH/FUA bio's if the request_queue doesn't support cache flushing. Advertise REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA capability. * Request based dm isn't converted yet. dm_init_request_based_queue() resets flush support to 0 for now. To avoid disturbing request based dm code, dm->flush_error is added for bio based dm while requested based dm continues to use dm->barrier_error. Lightly tested linear, stripe, raid1, snap and crypt targets. Please proceed with caution as I'm not familiar with the code base.

* block: unify flags for struct bio and struct requestChristoph Hellwig2010-08-071-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the current bio flags and reuse the request flags for the bio, too. This allows to more easily trace the type of I/O from the filesystem down to the block driver. There were two flags in the bio that were missing in the requests: BIO_RW_UNPLUG and BIO_RW_AHEAD. Also I've renamed two request flags that had a superflous RW in them. Note that the flags are in bio.h despite having the REQ_ name - as blkdev.h includes bio.h that is the only way to go for now.

* dm io: remove extra bi_io_vec region hackMikulas Patocka2009-12-101-34/+55
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the hack where we allocate an extra bi_io_vec to store additional private data. This hack prevents us from supporting barriers in dm-raid1 without first making another little block layer change. Instead of doing that, this patch eliminates the bi_io_vec abuse by storing the region number directly in the low bits of bi_private. We need to store two things for each bio, the pointer to the main io structure and, if parallel writes were requested, an index indicating which of these writes this bio belongs to. There can be at most BITS_PER_LONG regions - 32 or 64. The index (region number) was stored in the last (hidden) bio vector and the pointer to struct io was stored in bi_private. This patch now aligns "struct io" on BITS_PER_LONG bytes and stores the region number in the low BITS_PER_LONG bits of bi_private.

* dm io: use slab for struct ioMikulas Patocka2009-12-101-1/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | Allocate "struct io" from a slab. This patch changes dm-io, so that "struct io" is allocated from a slab cache. It used to be allocated with kmalloc.

* dm io: make sync_io uninterruptibleMikulas Patocka2009-04-021-4/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If someone sends signal to a process performing synchronous dm-io call, the kernel may crash. The function sync_io attempts to exit with -EINTR if it has pending signal, however the structure "io" is allocated on stack, so already submitted io requests end up touching unallocated stack space and corrupting kernel memory. sync_io sets its state to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE, so the signal can't break out of io_schedule() --- however, if the signal was pending before sync_io entered while (1) loop, the corruption of kernel memory will happen. There is no way to cancel in-progress IOs, so the best solution is to ignore signals at this point.

* bio: allow individual slabs in the bio_setJens Axboe2008-12-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of having a global bio slab cache, add a reference to one in each bio_set that is created. This allows for personalized slabs in each bio_set, so that they can have bios of different sizes. This means we can personalize the bios we return. File systems may want to embed the bio inside another structure, to avoid allocation more items (and stuffing them in ->bi_private) after the get a bio. Or we may want to embed a number of bio_vecs directly at the end of a bio, to avoid doing two allocations to return a bio. This is now possible. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

* dm: unplug queues in threadsMikulas Patocka2008-04-251-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove an avoidable 3ms delay on some dm-raid1 and kcopyd I/O. It is specified that any submitted bio without BIO_RW_SYNC flag may plug the queue (i.e. block the requests from being dispatched to the physical device). The queue is unplugged when the caller calls blk_unplug() function. Usually, the sequence is that someone calls submit_bh to submit IO on a buffer. The IO plugs the queue and waits (to be possibly joined with other adjacent bios). Then, when the caller calls wait_on_buffer(), it unplugs the queue and submits the IOs to the disk. This was happenning: When doing O_SYNC writes, function fsync_buffers_list() submits a list of bios to dm_raid1, the bios are added to dm_raid1 write queue and kmirrord is woken up. fsync_buffers_list() calls wait_on_buffer(). That unplugs the queue, but there are no bios on the device queue as they are still in the dm_raid1 queue. wait_on_buffer() starts waiting until the IO is finished. kmirrord is scheduled, kmirrord takes bios and submits them to the devices. The submitted bio plugs the harddisk queue but there is no one to unplug it. (The process that called wait_on_buffer() is already sleeping.) So there is a 3ms timeout, after which the queues on the harddisks are unplugged and requests are processed. This 3ms timeout meant that in certain workloads (e.g. O_SYNC, 8kb writes), dm-raid1 is 10 times slower than md raid1. Every time we submit something asynchronously via dm_io, we must unplug the queue actually to send the request to the device. This patch adds an unplug call to kmirrord - while processing requests, it keeps the queue plugged (so that adjacent bios can be merged); when it finishes processing all the bios, it unplugs the queue to submit the bios. It also fixes kcopyd which has the same potential problem. All kcopyd requests are submitted with BIO_RW_SYNC.
