* dm cache: make the 'mq' policy an alias for 'smq'Joe Thornber2016-03-101-10/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | smq seems to be performing better than the old mq policy in all situations, as well as using a quarter of the memory. Make 'mq' an alias for 'smq' when choosing a cache policy. The tunables that were present for the old mq are faked, and have no effect. mq should be considered deprecated now.

* dm verity: add support for forward error correctionSami Tolvanen2015-12-101-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for correcting corrupted blocks using Reed-Solomon. This code uses RS(255, N) interleaved across data and hash blocks. Each error-correcting block covers N bytes evenly distributed across the combined total data, so that each byte is a maximum distance away from the others. This makes it possible to recover from several consecutive corrupted blocks with relatively small space overhead. In addition, using verity hashes to locate erasures nearly doubles the effectiveness of error correction. Being able to detect corrupted blocks also improves performance, because only corrupted blocks need to corrected. For a 2 GiB partition, RS(255, 253) (two parity bytes for each 253-byte block) can correct up to 16 MiB of consecutive corrupted blocks if erasures can be located, and 8 MiB if they cannot, with 16 MiB space overhead.

* dm bufio: store stacktrace in buffers to help find buffer leaksMikulas Patocka2015-12-101-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The option DM_DEBUG_BLOCK_STACK_TRACING is moved from persistent-data directory to device mapper directory because it will now be used by persistent-data and bufio. When the option is enabled, each bufio buffer stores the stacktrace of the last dm_bufio_get(), dm_bufio_read() or dm_bufio_new() call that increased the hold count to 1. The buffer's stacktrace is printed if the buffer was not released before the bufio client is destroyed. When DM_DEBUG_BLOCK_STACK_TRACING is enabled, any bufio buffer leaks are considered warnings - i.e. the kernel continues afterwards. If not enabled, buffer leaks are considered BUGs and the kernel with crash. Reasoning on this disposition is: if we only ever warned on buffer leaks users would generally ignore them and the problematic code would never get fixed. Successfully used to find source of bufio leaks fixed with commit fce079f63c3 ("dm btree: fix bufio buffer leaks in dm_btree_del() error path").

* dm cache: add stochastic-multi-queue (smq) policyJoe Thornber2015-06-111-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The stochastic-multi-queue (smq) policy addresses some of the problems with the current multiqueue (mq) policy. Memory usage ------------ The mq policy uses a lot of memory; 88 bytes per cache block on a 64 bit machine. SMQ uses 28bit indexes to implement it's data structures rather than pointers. It avoids storing an explicit hit count for each block. It has a 'hotspot' queue rather than a pre cache which uses a quarter of the entries (each hotspot block covers a larger area than a single cache block). All these mean smq uses ~25bytes per cache block. Still a lot of memory, but a substantial improvement nontheless. Level balancing --------------- MQ places entries in different levels of the multiqueue structures based on their hit count (~ln(hit count)). This means the bottom levels generally have the most entries, and the top ones have very few. Having unbalanced levels like this reduces the efficacy of the multiqueue. SMQ does not maintain a hit count, instead it swaps hit entries with the least recently used entry from the level above. The over all ordering being a side effect of this stochastic process. With this scheme we can decide how many entries occupy each multiqueue level, resulting in better promotion/demotion decisions. Adaptability ------------ The MQ policy maintains a hit count for each cache block. For a different block to get promoted to the cache it's hit count has to exceed the lowest currently in the cache. This means it can take a long time for the cache to adapt between varying IO patterns. Periodically degrading the hit counts could help with this, but I haven't found a nice general solution. SMQ doesn't maintain hit counts, so a lot of this problem just goes away. In addition it tracks performance of the hotspot queue, which is used to decide which blocks to promote. If the hotspot queue is performing badly then it starts moving entries more quickly between levels. This lets it adapt to new IO patterns very quickly. Performance ----------- In my tests SMQ shows substantially better performance than MQ. Once this matures a bit more I'm sure it'll become the default policy.

* dm sysfs: fix a module unload raceMikulas Patocka2014-01-141-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove debug space map checker from dm persistent data. The space map checker is a wrapper for other space maps that double checks the reference counts are correct. It holds all these reference counts in memory rather than on disk, so uses a lot of memory and is thus restricted to small pools. As yet, this checker hasn't found any issues, but has caused a few of its own due to people turning it on by default with larger pools. Removing.

* dm: add thin provisioning targetJoe Thornber2011-10-311-0/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Initial EXPERIMENTAL implementation of device-mapper thin provisioning with snapshot support. The 'thin' target is used to create instances of the virtual devices that are hosted in the 'thin-pool' target. The thin-pool target provides data sharing among devices. This sharing is made possible using the persistent-data library in the previous patch. The main highlight of this implementation, compared to the previous implementation of snapshots, is that it allows many virtual devices to be stored on the same data volume, simplifying administration and allowing sharing of data between volumes (thus reducing disk usage). Another big feature is support for arbitrary depth of recursive snapshots (snapshots of snapshots of snapshots ...). The previous implementation of snapshots did this by chaining together lookup tables, and so performance was O(depth). This new implementation uses a single data structure so we don't get this degradation with depth.

* dm: add bufioMikulas Patocka2011-10-311-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The dm-bufio interface allows you to do cached I/O on devices, holding recently-read blocks in memory and performing delayed writes. We don't use buffer cache or page cache already present in the kernel, because: * we need to handle block sizes larger than a page * we can't allocate memory to perform reads or we'd have deadlocks Currently, when a cache is required, we limit its size to a fraction of available memory. Usage can be viewed and changed in /sys/module/dm_bufio/parameters/ . The first user is thin provisioning, but more dm users are planned.

* dm raid: support metadata devicesJonathan Brassow2011-08-021-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add the ability to parse and use metadata devices to dm-raid. Although not strictly required, without the metadata devices, many features of RAID are unavailable. They are used to store a superblock and bitmap. The role, or position in the array, of each device must be recorded in its superblock. This is to help with fault handling, array reshaping, and sanity checks. RAID 4/5/6 devices must be loaded in a specific order: in this way, the 'array_position' field helps validate the correctness of the mapping when it is loaded. It can be used during reshaping to identify which devices are added/removed. Fault handling is impossible without this field. For example, when a device fails it is recorded in the superblock. If this is a RAID1 device and the offending device is removed from the array, there must be a way during subsequent array assembly to determine that the failed device was the one removed. This is done by correlating the 'array_position' field and the bit-field variable 'failed_devices'.

* dm: raid456 basic supportNeilBrown2011-01-131-0/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is the skeleton for the DM target that will be the bridge from DM to MD (initially RAID456 and later RAID1). It provides a way to use device-mapper interfaces to the MD RAID456 drivers. As with all device-mapper targets, the nominal public interfaces are the constructor (CTR) tables and the status outputs (both STATUSTYPE_INFO and STATUSTYPE_TABLE). The CTR table looks like the following: 1: <s> <l> raid \ 2: <raid_type> <#raid_params> <raid_params> \ 3: <#raid_devs> <meta_dev1> <dev1> .. <meta_devN> <devN> Line 1 contains the standard first three arguments to any device-mapper target - the start, length, and target type fields. The target type in this case is "raid". Line 2 contains the arguments that define the particular raid type/personality/level, the required arguments for that raid type, and any optional arguments. Possible raid types include: raid4, raid5_la, raid5_ls, raid5_rs, raid6_zr, raid6_nr, and raid6_nc. (again, raid1 is planned for the future.) The list of required and optional parameters is the same for all the current raid types. The required parameters are positional, while the optional parameters are given as key/value pairs. The possible parameters are as follows: <chunk_size> Chunk size in sectors. [[no]sync] Force/Prevent RAID initialization [rebuild <idx>] Rebuild the drive indicated by the index [daemon_sleep <ms>] Time between bitmap daemon work to clear bits [min_recovery_rate <kB/sec/disk>] Throttle RAID initialization [max_recovery_rate <kB/sec/disk>] Throttle RAID initialization [max_write_behind <value>] See '-write-behind=' (man mdadm) [stripe_cache <sectors>] Stripe cache size for higher RAIDs Line 3 contains the list of devices that compose the array in metadata/data device pairs. If the metadata is stored separately, a '-' is given for the metadata device position. If a drive has failed or is missing at creation time, a '-' can be given for both the metadata and data drives for a given position. Examples: # RAID4 - 4 data drives, 1 parity # No metadata devices specified to hold superblock/bitmap info # Chunk size of 1MiB # (Lines separated for easy reading) 0 1960893648 raid \ raid4 1 2048 \ 5 - 8:17 - 8:33 - 8:49 - 8:65 - 8:81 # RAID4 - 4 data drives, 1 parity (no metadata devices) # Chunk size of 1MiB, force RAID initialization, # min recovery rate at 20 kiB/sec/disk 0 1960893648 raid \ raid4 4 2048 min_recovery_rate 20 sync\ 5 - 8:17 - 8:33 - 8:49 - 8:65 - 8:81 Performing a 'dmsetup table' should display the CTR table used to construct the mapping (with possible reordering of optional parameters). Performing a 'dmsetup status' will yield information on the state and health of the array. The output is as follows: 1: <s> <l> raid \ 2: <raid_type> <#devices> <1 health char for each dev> <resync_ratio> Line 1 is standard DM output. Line 2 is best shown by example: 0 1960893648 raid raid4 5 AAAAA 2/490221568 Here we can see the RAID type is raid4, there are 5 devices - all of which are 'A'live, and the array is 2/490221568 complete with recovery.
