2013-08-13aoe: adjust ref of head for compound page tailsEd Cashin1-10/+7
Fix a BUG which can trigger when direct-IO is used with AOE. As discussed previously, the fact that some users of the block layer provide bios that point to pages with a zero _count means that it is not OK for the network layer to do a put_page on the skb frags during an skb_linearize, so the aoe driver gets a reference to pages in bios and puts the reference before ending the bio. And because it cannot use get_page on a page with a zero _count, it manipulates the value directly. It is not OK to increment the _count of a compound page tail, though, since the VM layer will VM_BUG_ON a non-zero _count. Block users that do direct I/O can result in the aoe driver seeing compound page tails in bios. In that case, the same logic works as long as the head of the compound page is used instead of the tails. This patch handles compound pages and does not BUG. It relies on the block layer user leaving the relationship between the page tail and its head alone for the duration between the submission of the bio and its completion, whether successful or not.

2013-07-03nbd: correct disconnect behaviorPaul Clements1-1/+6
Currently, when a disconnect is requested by the user (via NBD_DISCONNECT ioctl) the return from NBD_DO_IT is undefined (it is usually one of several error codes). This means that nbd-client does not know if a manual disconnect was performed or whether a network error occurred. Because of this, nbd-client's persist mode (which tries to reconnect after error, but not after manual disconnect) does not always work correctly. This change fixes this by causing NBD_DO_IT to always return 0 if a user requests a disconnect. This means that nbd-client can correctly either persist the connection (if an error occurred) or disconnect (if the user requested it).

Updating an image header needs to be protected to ensure it's done consistently. However distinct headers can be updated concurrently without a problem. Instead of using the global control lock to serialize headder updates, just rely on the header semaphore. (It's already used, this just moves it out to cover a broader section of the code.)

2013-07-03rbd: don't hold ctl_mutex to get/put deviceAlex Elder1-15/+2
When an rbd device is first getting mapped, its device registration is protected the control mutex. There is no need to do that though, because the device has already been assigned an id that's guaranteed to be unique. An unmap of an rbd device won't proceed if the device has a non-zero open count or is already being unmapped. So there's no need to hold the control mutex in that case either. Finally, an rbd device can't be opened if it is being removed, and it won't go away if there is a non-zero open count. So here too there's no need to hold the control mutex while getting or putting a reference to an rbd device's Linux device structure. Drop the mutex calls in these cases.

2013-07-03rbd: set removing flag while holding list lockAlex Elder1-31/+22
When unmapping a device, its id is supplied, and that is used to look up which rbd device should be unmapped. Looking up the device involves searching the rbd device list while holding a spinlock that protects access to that list. Currently all of this is done under protection of the control lock, but that protection is going away soon. To ensure the rbd_dev is still valid (still on the list) while setting its REMOVING flag, do so while still holding the list lock. To do so, get rid of __rbd_get_dev(), and open code what it did in the one place it was used. Signed-off-by: Alex Elder <elder@inktank.com> Reviewed-by: Josh Durgin <josh.durgin@inktank.com>
2013-07-03rbd: protect against duplicate client creationAlex Elder1-10/+7
If more than one rbd image has the same ceph cluster configuration (same options, same set of monitors, same keys) they normally share a single rbd client. When an image is getting mapped, rbd looks to see if an existing client can be used, and creates a new one if not. The lookup and creation are not done under a common lock though, so mapping two images concurrently could lead to duplicate clients getting set up needlessly. This isn't a major problem, but it's wasteful and different from what's intended. This patch fixes that by using the control mutex to protect both the lookup and (if needed) creation of the client. It was previously used just when creating. This resolves: http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/3094 Signed-off-by: Alex Elder <elder@inktank.com> Reviewed-by: Josh Durgin <josh.durgin@inktank.com>

Konrad writes: It has the 'feature-max-indirect-segments' implemented in both backend and frontend. The current problem with the backend and frontend is that the segment size is limited to 11 pages. It means we can at most squeeze in 44kB per request. The ring can hold 32 (next power of two below 36) requests, meaning we can do 1.4M of outstanding requests. Nowadays that is not enough. The problem in the past was addressed in two ways - but neither one went upstream. The first solution to this proposed by Justin from Spectralogic was to negotiate the segment size. This means that the ‘struct blkif_sring_entry’ is now a variable size. It can expand from 112 bytes (cover 11 pages of data - 44kB) to 1580 bytes (256 pages of data - so 1MB). It is a simple extension by just making the array in the request expand from 11 to a variable size negotiated. But it had limits: this extension still limits the number of segments per request to 255 (as the total number must be specified in the request, which only has an 8-bit field for that purpose). The other solution (from Intel - Ronghui) was to create one extra ring that only has the ‘struct blkif_request_segment’ in them. The ‘struct blkif_request’ would be changed to have an index in said ‘segment ring’. There is only one segment ring. This means that the size of the initial ring is still the same. The requests would point to the segment and enumerate out how many of the indexes it wants to use. The limit is of course the size of the segment. If one assumes a one-page segment this means we can in one request cover ~4MB. Those patches were posted as RFC and the author never followed up on the ideas on changing it to be a bit more flexible. There is yet another mechanism that could be employed  (which these patches implement) - and it borrows from VirtIO protocol. And that is the ‘indirect descriptors’. This very similar to what Intel suggests, but with a twist. The twist is to negotiate how many of these 'segment' pages (aka indirect descriptor pages) we want to support (in reality we negotiate how many entries in the segment we want to cover, and we module the number if it is bigger than the segment size). This means that with the existing 36 slots in the ring (single page) we can cover: 32 slots * each blkif_request_indirect covers: 512 * 4096 ~= 64M. Since we ample space in the blkif_request_indirect to span more than one indirect page, that number (64M) can be also multiplied by eight = 512MB. Roger Pau Monne took the idea and implemented them in these patches. They work great and the corner cases (migration between backends with and without this extension) work nicely. The backend has a limit right now off how many indirect entries it can handle: one indirect page, and at maximum 256 entries (out of 512 - so 50% of the page is used). That comes out to 32 slots * 256 entries in a indirect page * 1 indirect page per request * 4096 = 32MB. This is a conservative number that can change in the future. Right now it strikes a good balance between giving excellent performance, memory usage in the backend, and balancing the needs of many guests. In the patchset there is also the split of the blkback structure to be per-VBD. This means that the spinlock contention we had with many guests trying to do I/O and all the blkback threads hitting the same lock has been eliminated. Also there are bug-fixes to deal with oddly sized sectors, insane amounts on th ring, and also a security fix (posted earlier).
2013-06-27rbd: send snapshot context with writesJosh Durgin1-1/+5
Sending the right snapshot context with each write is required for snapshots to work. Due to the ordering of calls, the snapshot context is never set for any requests. This causes writes to the current version of the image to be reflected in all snapshots, which are supposed to be read-only. This happens because rbd_osd_req_format_write() sets the snapshot context based on obj_request->img_request. At this point, however, obj_request->img_request has not been set yet, to the snapshot context is set to NULL. Fix this by moving rbd_img_obj_request_add(), which sets obj_request->img_request, before the osd request formatting calls.

It determines the object size by shifting the object order, which is 0 at this point since it has not been read yet. Move the call to get the image size and object order before rbd_dev_v2_header_onetime() so it is set before use.

2013-06-25xen-blkback: check the number of iovecs before allocating a biosRoger Pau Monne1-1/+2
With the introduction of indirect segments we can receive requests with a number of segments bigger than the maximum number of allowed iovecs in a bios, so make sure that blkback doesn't try to allocate a bios with more iovecs than BIO_MAX_PAGES Signed-off-by: Roger Pau Monné <roger.pau@citrix.com> Cc: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
2013-06-24swim: Release memory region after incorrect return/gotoJoe Perches1-1/+1
The code uses return foo; goto err_type; when instead the form should have been ret = foo; goto err_type; Here this causes a useful release_mem_region to be skipped.

2013-06-21xen-blkback: workaround compiler bug in gcc 4.1Roger Pau Monne1-10/+14
The code generat with gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-54) creates an unbound loop for the second foreach_grant_safe loop in purge_persistent_gnt. The workaround is to avoid having this second loop and instead perform all the work inside the first loop by adding a new variable, clean_used, that will be set when all the desired persistent grants have been removed and we need to iterate over the remaining ones to remove the WAS_ACTIVE flag.

2013-06-19rsxx: Adding EEH check inside cregs timeout.Philip J Kelleher1-0/+9
Unfortunaly, our CPU register path does not do any kind of EEH error checking. So to fix this issue, an ioread32 was added to the CPU register timeout code. This way, the driver can check to see if the timeout was caused by an EEH error or not. This is a dummy read.
