2013-03-01dm persistent data: set some btree fn parms constMike Snitzer1-6/+6
Mark some constant parameters constant in some dm-btree functions. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
2012-12-21dm persistent data: fix nested btree deletionJoe Thornber1-1/+1
When deleting nested btrees, the code forgets to delete the innermost btree. The thin-metadata code serendipitously compensates for this by claiming there is one extra layer in the tree. This patch corrects both problems. Signed-off-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
2012-07-27dm thin metadata: introduce dm_pool_abort_metadataJoe Thornber1-61/+146
Introduce dm_pool_abort_metadata to abort the current metadata transaction. Generally this will only be called when bad things are happening and dm-thin is trying to roll back to a good state for read-only mode. It's complicated by the fact that the metadata device may have failed completely causing the abort to be unable to read the old transaction. In this case the metadata object is placed in a 'fail' mode and everything fails apart from destroying it.

2012-07-27dm thin metadata: stop tracking need for commitJoe Thornber1-38/+2
Remove an optimisation that tracks whether or not a thin metadata commit is needed. If dm_pool_commit_metadata() is called and no changes have been made to the metadata then this optimisation avoided writing to disk. Removing because we're going to do something better later.

2012-07-27dm persistent data: create new dm_block_manager structJoe Thornber1-3/+3
This patch introduces a separate struct for the block_manager. It also uses IS_ERR to check the return value of dm_bufio_client_create instead of testing incorrectly for NULL. Prior to this patch a struct dm_block_manager was really an alias for a struct dm_bufio_client. We want to add some functionality to the block manager that will require extra fields, so this one to one mapping is no longer valid.

2012-06-03dm thin: provide userspace access to pool metadataJoe Thornber1-6/+130
This patch implements two new messages that can be sent to the thin pool target allowing it to take a snapshot of the _metadata_. This, read-only snapshot can be accessed by userland, concurrently with the live target. Only one metadata snapshot can be held at a time. The pool's status line will give the block location for the current msnap. Since version 0.1.5 of the userland thin provisioning tools, the thin_dump program displays the msnap as follows: thin_dump -m <msnap root> <metadata dev> Available here: https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools Now that userland can access the metadata we can do various things that have traditionally been kernel side tasks: i) Incremental backups. By using metadata snapshots we can work out what blocks have changed over time. Combined with data snapshots we can ensure the data doesn't change while we back it up. A short proof of concept script can be found here: https://github.com/jthornber/thinp-test-suite/blob/master/incremental_backup_example.rb ii) Migration of thin devices from one pool to another. iii) Merging snapshots back into an external origin. iv) Asyncronous replication.

2012-03-28dm thin: relax hard limit on the maximum size of a metadata deviceMike Snitzer1-0/+3
The thin metadata format can only make use of a device that is <= THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS (currently 15.9375 GB). Therefore, there is no practical benefit to using a larger device. However, it may be that other factors impose a certain granularity for the space that is allocated to a device (E.g. lvm2 can impose a coarse granularity through the use of large, >= 1 GB, physical extents). Rather than reject a larger metadata device, during thin-pool device construction, switch to allowing it but issue a warning if a device larger than THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS_WARNING (16 GB) is provided. Any space over 15.9375 GB will not be used. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
2012-03-28dm thin metadata: pass correct space map to dm_sm_root_sizeJoe Thornber1-1/+1
Fix a harmless typo. The root is a chunk of data that gets written to the superblock. This data is used to recreate the space map when opening a metadata area. We have two space maps; one tracking space on the metadata device and one of the data device. Both of these use the same format for their root, so this typo was harmless.

2012-03-07dm thin metadata: remove incorrect close_device on creation error pathsMike Snitzer1-5/+17
The __open_device() error paths in __create_thin() and __create_snap() incorrectly call __close_device() even if td was not initialized by __open_device(). Remove this. Also document __open_device() return values, remove a redundant td->changed = 1 in __create_thin(), and insert an additional safeguard against creating an already-existing device.

2011-10-31dm: add thin provisioning targetJoe Thornber1-0/+1391
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. For further information and examples of how to use this, please read Documentation/device-mapper/thin-provisioning.txt Signed-off-by: Joe Thornber <thornber@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
