2017-08-28dm integrity: optimize writing dm-bufio buffers that are partially changedMikulas Patocka1-28/+67
Rather than write the entire dm-bufio buffer when only a subset is changed, improve dm-bufio (and dm-integrity) by only writing the subset of the buffer that changed. Update dm-integrity to make use of dm-bufio's new dm_bufio_mark_partial_buffer_dirty() interface. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>
2017-08-23block: replace bi_bdev with a gendisk pointer and partitions indexChristoph Hellwig1-1/+1
This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code). For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists once per block device. But given that the block layer also does partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is used for said remapping in generic_make_request. Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all over the stack.

We should be returning normal negative error codes here. The "a" variables comes from &c->async_write_error which is a blk_status_t converted to a regular error code. In the current code, the blk_status_t gets propogated back to pool_create() and eventually results in an Oops.

2017-05-31dm: make flush bios explicitly syncJan Kara1-1/+1
Commit b685d3d65ac7 ("block: treat REQ_FUA and REQ_PREFLUSH as synchronous") removed REQ_SYNC flag from WRITE_{FUA|PREFLUSH|...} definitions. generic_make_request_checks() however strips REQ_FUA and REQ_PREFLUSH flags from a bio when the storage doesn't report volatile write cache and thus write effectively becomes asynchronous which can lead to performance regressions. Fix the problem by making sure all bios which are synchronous are properly marked with REQ_SYNC.

2017-05-16dm bufio: make the parameter "retain_bytes" unsigned longMikulas Patocka1-8/+8
Change the type of the parameter "retain_bytes" from unsigned to unsigned long, so that on 64-bit machines the user can set more than 4GiB of data to be retained. Also, change the type of the variable "count" in the function "__evict_old_buffers" to unsigned long. The assignment "count = c->n_buffers[LIST_CLEAN] + c->n_buffers[LIST_DIRTY];" could result in unsigned long to unsigned overflow and that could result in buffers not being freed when they should. While at it, avoid division in get_retain_buffers(). Division is slow, we can change it to shift because we have precalculated the log2 of block size.

2017-05-08mm, vmalloc: use __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitlyMichal Hocko1-1/+1
__vmalloc* allows users to provide gfp flags for the underlying allocation. This API is quite popular $ git grep "=[[:space:]]__vmalloc\|return[[:space:]]*__vmalloc" | wc -l 77 The only problem is that many people are not aware that they really want to give __GFP_HIGHMEM along with other flags because there is really no reason to consume precious lowmemory on CONFIG_HIGHMEM systems for pages which are mapped to the kernel vmalloc space. About half of users don't use this flag, though. This signals that we make the API unnecessarily too complex. This patch simply uses __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitly when allocating pages to be mapped to the vmalloc space. Current users which add __GFP_HIGHMEM are simplified and drop the flag.

2017-05-01dm bufio: check new buffer allocation watermark every 30 secondsMikulas Patocka1-0/+10
dm-bufio checks a watermark when it allocates a new buffer in __bufio_new(). However, it doesn't check the watermark when the user changes /sys/module/dm_bufio/parameters/max_cache_size_bytes. This may result in a problem - if the watermark is high enough so that all possible buffers are allocated and if the user lowers the value of "max_cache_size_bytes", the watermark will never be checked against the new value because no new buffer would be allocated. To fix this, change __evict_old_buffers() so that it checks the watermark. __evict_old_buffers() is called every 30 seconds, so if the user reduces "max_cache_size_bytes", dm-bufio will react to this change within 30 seconds and decrease memory consumption.

2017-05-01dm bufio: avoid a possible ABBA deadlockMikulas Patocka1-4/+5
__get_memory_limit() tests if dm_bufio_cache_size changed and calls __cache_size_refresh() if it did. It takes dm_bufio_clients_lock while it already holds the client lock. However, lock ordering is violated because in cleanup_old_buffers() dm_bufio_clients_lock is taken before the client lock. This results in a possible deadlock and lockdep engine warning. Fix this deadlock by changing mutex_lock() to mutex_trylock(). If the lock can't be taken, it will be re-checked next time when a new buffer is allocated. Also add "unlikely" to the if condition, so that the optimizer assumes that the condition is false.

2017-01-14sched/core: Remove set_task_state()Davidlohr Bueso1-1/+1
This is a nasty interface and setting the state of a foreign task must not be done. As of the following commit: be628be0956 ("bcache: Make gc wakeup sane, remove set_task_state()") ... everyone in the kernel calls set_task_state() with current, allowing the helper to be removed. However, as the comment indicates, it is still around for those archs where computing current is more expensive than using a pointer, at least in theory. An important arch that is affected is arm64, however this has been addressed now [1] and performance is up to par making no difference with either calls. Of all the callers, if any, it's the locking bits that would care most about this -- ie: we end up passing a tsk pointer to a lot of the lock slowpath, and setting ->state on that. The following numbers are based on two tests: a custom ad-hoc microbenchmark that just measures latencies (for ~65 million calls) between get_task_state() vs get_current_state(). Secondly for a higher overview, an unlink microbenchmark was used, which pounds on a single file with open, close,unlink combos with increasing thread counts (up to 4x ncpus). While the workload is quite unrealistic, it does contend a lot on the inode mutex or now rwsem.

The problem has been reproduced on fairly easily: 0. Be running Chrome OS w/ verity enabled on the root filesystem 1. Pick test patch: http://crosreview.com/412360 2. Install launchBalloons.sh and balloon.arm from http://crbug.com/468342 ...that's just a memory stress test app. 3. On a 4GB rk3399 machine, run nice ./launchBalloons.sh 4 900 100000 ...that tries to eat 4 * 900 MB of memory and keep accessing. 4. Login to the Chrome web browser and restore many tabs With that, I've seen printouts like: DOUG: long bufio 90758 ms ...and stack trace always show's we're in dm_bufio_prefetch(). The problem is that we try to allocate memory with GFP_NOIO while we're holding the dm_bufio lock. Instead we should be using GFP_NOWAIT. Using GFP_NOIO can cause us to sleep while holding the lock and that causes the above problems. The current behavior explained by David Rientjes: It will still try reclaim initially because __GFP_WAIT (or __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM) is set by GFP_NOIO. This is the cause of contention on dm_bufio_lock() that the thread holds. You want to pass GFP_NOWAIT instead of GFP_NOIO to alloc_buffer() when holding a mutex that can be contended by a concurrent slab shrinker (if count_objects didn't use a trylock, this pattern would trivially deadlock). This change significantly increases responsiveness of the system while in this state. It makes a real difference because it unblocks kswapd. In the bug report analyzed, kswapd was hung: kswapd0 D ffffffc000204fd8 0 72 2 0x00000000 Call trace: [<ffffffc000204fd8>] __switch_to+0x9c/0xa8 [<ffffffc00090b794>] __schedule+0x440/0x6d8 [<ffffffc00090bac0>] schedule+0x94/0xb4 [<ffffffc00090be44>] schedule_preempt_disabled+0x28/0x44 [<ffffffc00090d900>] __mutex_lock_slowpath+0x120/0x1ac [<ffffffc00090d9d8>] mutex_lock+0x4c/0x68 [<ffffffc000708e7c>] dm_bufio_shrink_count+0x38/0x78 [<ffffffc00030b268>] shrink_slab.part.54.constprop.65+0x100/0x464 [<ffffffc00030dbd8>] shrink_zone+0xa8/0x198 [<ffffffc00030e578>] balance_pgdat+0x328/0x508 [<ffffffc00030eb7c>] kswapd+0x424/0x51c [<ffffffc00023f06c>] kthread+0x10c/0x114 [<ffffffc000203dd0>] ret_from_fork+0x10/0x40 By unblocking kswapd memory pressure should be reduced.

2016-08-30dm bufio: remove use of deprecated create_singlethread_workqueue()Bhaktipriya Shridhar1-1/+1
The workqueue "dm_bufio_wq" queues a single work item &dm_bufio_work so it doesn't require execution ordering. Hence, alloc_workqueue() has been used to replace the deprecated create_singlethread_workqueue(). The WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag has been set since DM requires forward progress under memory pressure. Since there are fixed number of work items, explicit concurrency limit is unnecessary here.

2015-12-10dm bufio: store stacktrace in buffers to help find buffer leaksMikulas Patocka1-1/+38
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").

2015-07-29block: add a bi_error field to struct bioChristoph Hellwig1-10/+16
Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO: (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds of error returns. So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer: - Significant DM thin-provisioning performance improvements to meet performance requirements that were requested by the Gluster distributed filesystem. Specifically, dm-thinp now takes care to aggregate IO that will be issued to the same thinp block before issuing IO to the underlying devices. This really helps improve performance on HW RAID6 devices that have a writeback cache because it avoids RMW in the HW RAID controller. - Some stable fixes: fix leak in DM bufio if integrity profiles were enabled, use memzero_explicit in DM crypt to avoid any potential for information leak, and a DM cache fix to properly mark a cache block dirty if it was promoted to the cache via the overwrite optimization. - A few simple DM persistent data library fixes - DM cache multiqueue policy block promotion improvements. - DM cache discard improvements that take advantage of range (multiblock) discard support in the DM bio-prison. This allows for much more efficient bulk discard processing (e.g. when mkfs.xfs discards the entire device). - Some small optimizations in DM core and RCU deference cleanups - DM core changes to suspend/resume code to introduce the new internal suspend/resume interface that the DM thin-pool target now uses to suspend/resume active thin devices when the thin-pool must suspend/resume.

2014-11-10dm bufio: evict buffers that are past the max age but retain some buffersJoe Thornber1-34/+75
These changes help keep metadata backed by dm-bufio in-core longer which fixes reports of metadata churn in the face of heavy random IO workloads. Before, bufio evicted all buffers older than DM_BUFIO_DEFAULT_AGE_SECS. Having a device (e.g. dm-thinp or dm-cache) lose all metadata just because associated buffers had been idle for some time is unfriendly. Now, the user may now configure the number of bytes that bufio retains using the 'retain_bytes' module parameter. The default is 256K. Also, the DM_BUFIO_WORK_TIMER_SECS and DM_BUFIO_DEFAULT_AGE_SECS defaults were quite low so increase them (to 30 and 300 respectively).

2014-10-17dm bufio: change __GFP_IO to __GFP_FS in shrinker callbacksMikulas Patocka1-6/+6
The shrinker uses gfp flags to indicate what kind of operation can the driver wait for. If __GFP_IO flag is present, the driver can wait for block I/O operations, if __GFP_FS flag is present, the driver can wait on operations involving the filesystem. dm-bufio tested for __GFP_IO. However, dm-bufio can run on a loop block device that makes calls into the filesystem. If __GFP_IO is present and __GFP_FS isn't, dm-bufio could still block on filesystem operations if it runs on a loop block device. The change from __GFP_IO to __GFP_FS supposedly fixes one observed (though unreproducible) deadlock involving dm-bufio and loop device.

The 'last_accessed' member of the dm_buffer structure was only set when the the buffer was created. This led to each buffer being discarded after dm_bufio_max_age time even if it was used recently. In practice this resulted in all thinp metadata being evicted soon after being read -- this is particularly problematic for metadata intensive workloads like multithreaded small random IO. 'last_accessed' is now updated each time the buffer is moved to the head of the LRU list, so the buffer is now properly discarded if it was not used in dm_bufio_max_age time.

2014-08-01dm bufio: fully initialize shrinkerGreg Thelen1-1/+1
1d3d4437eae1 ("vmscan: per-node deferred work") added a flags field to struct shrinker assuming that all shrinkers were zero filled. The dm bufio shrinker is not zero filled, which leaves arbitrary kmalloc() data in flags. So far the only defined flags bit is SHRINKER_NUMA_AWARE. But there are proposed patches which add other bits to shrinker.flags (e.g. memcg awareness). Rather than simply initializing the shrinker, this patch uses kzalloc() when allocating the dm_bufio_client to ensure that the embedded shrinker and any other similar structures are zeroed. This fixes theoretical over aggressive shrinking of dm bufio objects. If the uninitialized dm_bufio_client.shrinker.flags contains SHRINKER_NUMA_AWARE then shrink_slab() would call the dm shrinker for each numa node rather than just once. This has been broken since 3.12.

2014-07-16sched: Remove proliferation of wait_on_bit() action functionsNeilBrown1-27/+14
The current "wait_on_bit" interface requires an 'action' function to be provided which does the actual waiting. There are over 20 such functions, many of them identical. Most cases can be satisfied by one of just two functions, one which uses io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule(). So: Rename wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock to wait_on_bit_action and wait_on_bit_lock_action to make it explicit that they need an action function. Introduce new wait_on_bit{,_lock} and wait_on_bit{,_lock}_io which are *not* given an action function but implicitly use a standard one. The decision to error-out if a signal is pending is now made based on the 'mode' argument rather than being encoded in the action function. All instances of the old wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock which can use the new version have been changed accordingly and their action functions have been discarded. wait_on_bit{_lock} does not return any specific error code in the event of a signal so the caller must check for non-zero and interpolate their own error code as appropriate. The wait_on_bit() call in __fscache_wait_on_invalidate() was ambiguous as it specified TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE but used fscache_wait_bit_interruptible as an action function. David Howells confirms this should be uniformly "uninterruptible" The main remaining user of wait_on_bit{,_lock}_action is NFS which needs to use a freezer-aware schedule() call. A comment in fs/gfs2/glock.c notes that having multiple 'action' functions is useful as they display differently in the 'wchan' field of 'ps'. (and /proc/$PID/wchan). As the new bit_wait{,_io} functions are tagged "__sched", they will not show up at all, but something higher in the stack. So the distinction will still be visible, only with different function names (gds2_glock_wait versus gfs2_glock_dq_wait in the gfs2/glock.c case). Since first version of this patch (against 3.15) two new action functions appeared, on in NFS and one in CIFS. CIFS also now uses an action function that makes the same freezer aware schedule call as NFS.

Pull core block IO changes from Jens Axboe: "The major piece in here is the immutable bio_ve series from Kent, the rest is fairly minor. It was supposed to go in last round, but various issues pushed it to this release instead. The pull request contains: - Various smaller blk-mq fixes from different folks. Nothing major here, just minor fixes and cleanups. - Fix for a memory leak in the error path in the block ioctl code from Christian Engelmayer. - Header export fix from CaiZhiyong. - Finally the immutable biovec changes from Kent Overstreet. This enables some nice future work on making arbitrarily sized bios possible, and splitting more efficient. Related fixes to immutable bio_vecs: - dm-cache immutable fixup from Mike Snitzer. - btrfs immutable fixup from Muthu Kumar. - bio-integrity fix from Nic Bellinger, which is also going to stable" * 'for-3.14/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (44 commits) xtensa: fixup simdisk driver to work with immutable bio_vecs block/blk-mq-cpu.c: use hotcpu_notifier() blk-mq: for_each_* macro correctness block: Fix memory leak in rw_copy_check_uvector() handling bio-integrity: Fix bio_integrity_verify segment start bug block: remove unrelated header files and export symbol blk-mq: uses page->list incorrectly blk-mq: use __smp_call_function_single directly btrfs: fix missing increment of bi_remaining Revert "block: Warn and free bio if bi_end_io is not set" block: Warn and free bio if bi_end_io is not set blk-mq: fix initializing request's start time block: blk-mq: don't export blk_mq_free_queue() block: blk-mq: make blk_sync_queue support mq block: blk-mq: support draining mq queue dm cache: increment bi_remaining when bi_end_io is restored block: fixup for generic bio chaining block: Really silence spurious compiler warnings block: Silence spurious compiler warnings block: Kill bio_pair_split() ...
2014-01-14dm snapshot: use dm-bufio prefetchMikulas Patocka1-2/+12
This patch modifies dm-snapshot so that it prefetches the buffers when loading the exceptions. The number of buffers read ahead is specified in the DM_PREFETCH_CHUNKS macro. The current value for DM_PREFETCH_CHUNKS (12) was found to provide the best performance on a single 15k SCSI spindle. In the future we may modify this default or make it configurable. Also, introduce the function dm_bufio_set_minimum_buffers to setup bufio's number of internal buffers before freeing happens. dm-bufio may hold more buffers if enough memory is available. There is no guarantee that the specified number of buffers will be available - if you need a guarantee, use the argument reserved_buffers for dm_bufio_client_create.
