* exofs: Add SYSFS info for autologin/pNFS exportSachin Bhamare2012-05-211-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce sysfs infrastructure for exofs cluster filesystem. Each OSD target shows up as below in the sysfs hierarchy: /sys/fs/exofs/<osdname>_<partition_id>/devX Where <osdname>_<partition_id> is the unique identification of a Superblock. Where devX: 0 <= X < device_table_size. They are ordered in device-table order as specified to the mkfs.exofs command Each OSD device devX has following attributes : osdname - ReadOnly systemid - ReadOnly uri - Read/Write It is up to user-mode to update devX/uri for support of autologin. These sysfs information are used both for autologin as well as support for exporting exofs via a pNFSD server in user-mode.

* ore: Support for partial component tableBoaz Harrosh2011-10-141-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Users like the objlayout-driver would like to only pass a partial device table that covers the IO in question. For example exofs divides the file into raid-group-sized chunks and only serves group_width number of devices at a time. The partiality is communicated by setting ore_componets->first_dev and the array covers all logical devices from oc->first_dev upto (oc->first_dev + oc->numdevs) The ore_comp_dev() API receives a logical device index and returns the actual present device in the table. An out-of-range dev_index will BUG. Logical device index is the theoretical device index as if all the devices of a file are present. .i.e: total_devs = group_width * mirror_p1 * group_count 0 <= dev_index < total_devs Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>
* ore/exofs: Change the type of the devices array (API change)Boaz Harrosh2011-10-041-3/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the pNFS obj-LD the device table at the layout level needs to point to a device_cache node, where it is possible and likely that many layouts will point to the same device-nodes. In Exofs we have a more orderly structure where we have a single array of devices that repeats twice for a round-robin view of the device table This patch moves to a model that can be used by the pNFS obj-LD where struct ore_components holds an array of ore_dev-pointers. (ore_dev is newly defined and contains a struct osd_dev *od member) Each pointer in the array of pointers will point to a bigger user-defined dev_struct. That can be accessed by use of the container_of macro. In Exofs an __alloc_dev_table() function allocates the ore_dev-pointers array as well as an exofs_dev array, in one allocation and does the addresses dance to set everything pointing correctly. It still keeps the double allocation trick for the inodes round-robin view of the table. The device table is always allocated dynamically, also for the single device case. So it is unconditionally freed at umount. Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>
* exofs: Remove unused data_map member from exofs_sb_infoBoaz Harrosh2011-10-031-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The struct pnfs_osd_data_map data_map member of exofs_sb_info was never used after mount. In fact all it's members were duplicated by the ore_layout structure. So just remove the duplicated information. Also removed some stupid, but perfectly supported, restrictions on layout parameters. The case where num_devices is not divisible by mirror_count+1 is perfectly fine since the rotating device view will eventually use all the devices it can get.

* exofs: Rename raid engine from exofs/ios.c => oreBoaz Harrosh2011-08-061-107/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ORE stands for "Objects Raid Engine" This patch is a mechanical rename of everything that was in ios.c and its API declaration to an ore.c and an osd_ore.h header. The ore engine will later be used by the pnfs objects layout driver. * File ios.c => ore.c * Declaration of types and API are moved from exofs.h to a new osd_ore.h * All used types are prefixed by ore_ from their exofs_ name. * Shift includes from exofs.h to osd_ore.h so osd_ore.h is independent, include it from exofs.h. Other than a pure rename there are no other changes. Next patch will move the ore into it's own module and will export the API to be used by exofs and later the layout driver Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>
* exofs: ios: Move to a per inode components & device-tableBoaz Harrosh2011-08-061-45/+59
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Exofs raid engine was saving on memory space by having a single layout-info, single pid, and a single device-table, global to the filesystem. Then passing a credential and object_id info at the io_state level, private for each inode. It would also devise this contraption of rotating the device table view for each inode->ino to spread out the device usage. This is not compatible with the pnfs-objects standard, demanding that each inode can have it's own layout-info, device-table, and each object component it's own pid, oid and creds. So: Bring exofs raid engine to be usable for generic pnfs-objects use by: * Define an exofs_comp structure that holds obj_id and credential info. * Break up exofs_layout struct to an exofs_components structure that holds a possible array of exofs_comp and the array of devices + the size of the arrays. * Add a "comps" parameter to get_io_state() that specifies the ids creds and device array to use for each IO. This enables to keep the layout global, but the device-table view, creds and IDs at the inode level. It only adds two 64bit to each inode, since some of these members already existed in another form. * ios raid engine now access layout-info and comps-info through the passed pointers. Everything is pre-prepared by caller for generic access of these structures and arrays. At the exofs Level: * Super block holds an exofs_components struct that holds the device array, previously in layout. The devices there are in device-table order. The device-array is twice bigger and repeats the device-table twice so now each inode's device array can point to a random device and have a round-robin view of the table, making it compatible to previous exofs versions. * Each inode has an exofs_components struct that is initialized at load time, with it's own view of the device table IDs and creds. When doing IO this gets passed to the io_state together with the layout. While preforming this change. Bugs where found where credentials with the wrong IDs where used to access the different SB objects (super.c). As well as some dead code. It was never noticed because the target we use does not check the credentials. Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>

* exofs: Add offset/length to exofs_get_io_stateBoaz Harrosh2011-08-061-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In future raid code we will need to know the IO offset/length and if it's a read or write to determine some of the array sizes we'll need. So add a new exofs_get_rw_state() API for use when writeing/reading. All other simple cases are left using the old way. The major change to this is that now we need to call exofs_get_io_state later at inode.c::read_exec and inode.c::write_exec when we actually know these things. So this patch is kept separate so I can test things apart from other changes. Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>
* exofs: BUG: Avoid sbi reallocBoaz Harrosh2011-08-041-6/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the beginning we realloced the sbi structure when a bigger then one device table was specified. (I know that was really stupid). Then much later when "register bdi" was added (By Jens) it was registering the pointer to sbi->bdi before the realloc. We never saw this problem because up till now the realloc did not do anything since the device table was small enough to fit in the original allocation. But once we starting testing with large device tables (Bigger then 28) we noticed the crash of writeback operating on a deallocated pointer. * Avoid the all mess by allocating the device-table as a second array and get rid of the variable-sized structure and the rest of this mess. * Take the chance to clean near by structures and comments. * Add a needed dprint on startup to indicate the loaded layout. * Also move the bdi registration to the very end because it will only fail in a low memory, which will probably fail before hand. There are many more likely causes to not load before that. This way the error handling is made simpler. (Just doing this would be enough to fix the BUG) Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>

* exofs: Write sbi->s_nextid as part of the Create commandBoaz Harrosh2011-03-151-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before when creating a new inode, we'd set the sb->s_dirt flag, and sometime later the system would write out s_nextid as part of the sb_info. Also on inode sync we would force the sb sync as well. Define the s_nextid as a new partition attribute and set it every time we create a new object. At mount we read it from it's new place. We now never set sb->s_dirt anywhere in exofs. write_super is actually never called. The call to exofs_write_super from exofs_put_super is also removed because the VFS always calls ->sync_fs before calling ->put_super twice. To stay backward-and-forward compatible we also write the old s_nextid in the super_block object at unmount, and support zero length attribute on mount. This also fixes a BUG where in layouts when group_width was not a divisor of EXOFS_SUPER_ID (0x10000) the s_nextid was not read from the device it was written to. Because of the sliding window layout trick, and because the read was always done from the 0 device but the write was done via the raid engine that might slide the device view. Now we read and write through the raid engine. Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These changes are crafted based on the similar conversion done to ext2 by Nick Piggin. * Remove the deprecated ->truncate vector.

We never had any blocks it was all for calling nobh_truncate_page. nobh_truncate_page is not actually needed in exofs since the last page is complete and gone, just like all the other pages. There is no partial blocks in exofs. I've tested with this patch, and there are no apparent failures, so far.

(Once I decide where to put the common code) After RAID0 patch the outer (input) bio was never used as a bio, but was simply a page carrier into the raid engine. Even in the simple mirror/single-dev arrangement pages info was copied into a second bio. It is now easer to just pass a pages array into the io_state and prepare bio(s) once.

* exofs: RAID0 supportBoaz Harrosh2010-02-281-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We now support striping over mirror devices. Including variable sized stripe_unit. Some limits: * stripe_unit must be a multiple of PAGE_SIZE * stripe_unit * stripe_count is maximum upto 32-bit (4Gb) Tested RAID0 over mirrors, RAID0 only, mirrors only. All check. Design notes: * I'm not using a vectored raid-engine mechanism yet. Following the pnfs-objects-layout data-map structure, "Mirror" is just a private case of "group_width" == 1, and RAID0 is a private case of "Mirrors" == 1. The performance lose of the general case over the particular special case optimization is totally negligible, also considering the extra code size. * In general I added a prepare_stripes() stage that divides the to-be-io pages to the participating devices, the previous exofs_ios_write/read, now becomes _write/read_mirrors and a new write/read upper layer loops on all devices calling _write/read_mirrors. Effectively the prepare_stripes stage is the all secret. Also truncate need fixing to accommodate for striping. * In a RAID0 arrangement, in a regular usage scenario, if all inode layouts will start at the same device, the small files fill up the first device and the later devices stay empty, the farther the device the emptier it is. To fix that, each inode will start at a different stripe_unit, according to it's obj_id modulus number-of-stripe-units. And will then span all stripe-units in the same incrementing order wrapping back to the beginning of the device table. We call it a stripe-units moving window. Special consideration was taken to keep all devices in a mirror arrangement identical. So a broken osd-device could just be cloned from one of the mirrors and no FS scrubbing is needed. (We do that by rotating stripe-unit at a time and not a single device at a time.) TODO: We no longer verify object_length == inode->i_size in exofs_iget. (since i_size is stripped on multiple objects now). I should introduce a multiple-device attribute reading, and use it in exofs_iget. Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>
* exofs: Define on-disk per-inode optional layout attributeBoaz Harrosh2010-02-281-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Layouts describe the way a file is spread on multiple devices. The layout information is stored in the objects attribute introduced in this patch. * There can be multiple generating function for the layout. Currently defined: - No attribute present - use below moving-window on global device table, all devices. (This is the only one currently used in exofs) - an obj_id generated moving window - the obj_id is a randomizing factor in the otherwise global map layout. - An explicit layout stored, including a data_map and a device index list. - More might be defined in future ... * There are two attributes defined of the same structure: A-data-files-layout - This layout is used by data-files. If present at a directory, all files of that directory will be created with this layout. A-meta-data-layout - This layout is used by a directory and other meta-data information. Also inherited at creation of subdirectories. * At creation time inodes are created with the layout specified above. A usermode utility may change the creation layout on a give directory or file. Which in the case of directories, will also apply to newly created files/subdirectories, children of that directory. In the simple unaltered case of a newly created exofs, no layout attributes are present, and all layouts adhere to the layout specified at the device-table. * In case of a future file system loaded in an old exofs-driver. At iget(), the generating_function is inspected and if not supported will return an IO error to the application and the inode will not be loaded. So not to damage any data. Note: After this patch we do not yet support any type of layout only the RAID0 patch that enables striping at the super-block level will add support for RAID0 layouts above. This way we are past and future compatible and fully bisectable. * Access to the device table is done by an accessor since it will change according to above information.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes on-disk format, it is accompanied with a parallel patch to mkfs.exofs that enables multi-device capabilities. After this patch, old exofs will refuse to mount a new formatted FS and new exofs will refuse an old format. This is done by moving the magic field offset inside the FSCB. A new FSCB *version* field was added. In the future, exofs will refuse to mount unmatched FSCB version. To up-grade or down-grade an exofs one must use mkfs.exofs --upgrade option before mounting. Introduced, a new object that contains a *device-table*. This object contains the default *data-map* and a linear array of devices information, which identifies the devices used in the filesystem. This object is only written to offline by mkfs.exofs. This is why it is kept separate from the FSCB, since the later is written to while mounted. Same partition number, same object number is used on all devices only the device varies. * define the new format, then load the device table on mount time make sure every thing is supported. * Change I/O engine to now support Mirror IO, .i.e write same data to multiple devices, read from a random device to spread the read-load from multiple clients (TODO: stripe read) Implementation notes: A few points introduced in previous patch should be mentioned here: * Special care was made so absolutlly all operation that have any chance of failing are done before any osd-request is executed. This is to minimize the need for a data consistency recovery, to only real IO errors. * Each IO state has a kref. It starts at 1, any osd-request executed will increment the kref, finally when all are executed the first ref is dropped. At IO-done, each request completion decrements the kref, the last one to return executes the internal _last_io() routine. _last_io() will call the registered io_state_done. On sync mode a caller does not supply a done method, indicating a synchronous request, the caller is put to sleep and a special io_state_done is registered that will awaken the caller.

* exofs: Move all operations to an io_engineBoaz Harrosh2009-12-101-3/+84
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In anticipation for multi-device operations, we separate osd operations into an abstract I/O API. Currently only one device is used but later when adding more devices, we will drive all devices in parallel according to a "data_map" that describes how data is arranged on multiple devices. The file system level operates, like before, as if there is one object (inode-number) and an i_size. The io engine will split this to the same object-number but on multiple device. At first we introduce Mirror (raid 1) layout. But at the final outcome we intend to fully implement the pNFS-Objects data-map, including raid 0,4,5,6 over mirrored devices, over multiple device-groups. And more. See: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-nfsv4-pnfs-obj-12 * Define an io_state based API for accessing osd storage devices in an abstract way. Usage: First a caller allocates an io state with: exofs_get_io_state(struct exofs_sb_info *sbi, struct exofs_io_state** ios); Then calles one of: exofs_sbi_create(struct exofs_io_state *ios); exofs_sbi_remove(struct exofs_io_state *ios); exofs_sbi_write(struct exofs_io_state *ios); exofs_sbi_read(struct exofs_io_state *ios); exofs_oi_truncate(struct exofs_i_info *oi, u64 new_len); And when done exofs_put_io_state(struct exofs_io_state *ios); * Convert all source files to use this new API * Convert from bio_alloc to bio_kmalloc * In io engine we make use of the now fixed osd_req_decode_sense There are no functional changes or on disk additions after this patch.

* exofs: file and file_inode operationsBoaz Harrosh2009-03-311-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | implementation of the file_operations and inode_operations for regular data files. Most file_operations are generic vfs implementations except: - exofs_truncate will truncate the OSD object as well - Generic file_fsync is not good for none_bd devices so open code it - The default for .flush in Linux is todo nothing so call exofs_fsync on the file.
