2020-08-07Merge tag 'powerpc-5.9-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linuxLinus Torvalds1-1/+1
Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman: - Add support for (optionally) using queued spinlocks & rwlocks. - Support for a new faster system call ABI using the scv instruction on Power9 or later. - Drop support for the PROT_SAO mmap/mprotect flag as it will be unsupported on Power10 and future processors, leaving us with no way to implement the functionality it requests. This risks breaking userspace, though we believe it is unused in practice. - A bug fix for, and then the removal of, our custom stack expansion checking. We now allow stack expansion up to the rlimit, like other architectures. - Remove the remnants of our (previously disabled) topology update code, which tried to react to NUMA layout changes on virtualised systems, but was prone to crashes and other problems. - Add PMU support for Power10 CPUs. - A change to our signal trampoline so that we don't unbalance the link stack (branch return predictor) in the signal delivery path. - Lots of other cleanups, refactorings, smaller features and so on as usual.

2020-07-16treewide: Remove uninitialized_var() usageKees Cook1-1/+1
Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1] (or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings (e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized, either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes. In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining needless uses with the following script: git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \ xargs perl -pi -e \ 's/\buninitialized_var\(([^\)]+)\)/\1/g; s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;' drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid pathological white-space.

2020-07-16libnvdimm/nvdimm/flush: Allow architecture to override the flush barrierAneesh Kumar K.V1-1/+1
Architectures like ppc64 provide persistent memory specific barriers that will ensure that all stores for which the modifications are written to persistent storage by preceding dcbfps and dcbstps instructions have updated persistent storage before any data access or data transfer caused by subsequent instructions is initiated. This is in addition to the ordering done by wmb() Update nvdimm core such that architecture can use barriers other than wmb to ensure all previous writes are architecturally visible for the platform buffer flush.

2020-05-15dm writecache: improve performance on DDR persistent memory (Optane)Mikulas Patocka1-1/+37
When testing the dm-writecache target on a real DDR persistent memory (Intel Optane), it turned out that explicit cache flushing using the clflushopt instruction performs better than non-temporal stores for block sizes 1k, 2k and 4k. The dm-writecache target is singlethreaded (all the copying is done while holding the writecache lock), so it benefits from clwb, see: http://lore.kernel.org/r/alpine.LRH.2.02.2004160411460.7833@file01.intranet.prod.int.rdu2.redhat.com Add a new function memcpy_flushcache_optimized() that tests if clflushopt is present - and if it is, we use it instead of memcpy_flushcache.

2020-04-16dm writecache: fix data corruption when reloading the targetMikulas Patocka1-15/+37
The dm-writecache reads metadata in the target constructor. However, when we reload the target, there could be another active instance running on the same device. This is the sequence of operations when doing a reload: 1. construct new target 2. suspend old target 3. resume new target 4. destroy old target Metadata that were written by the old target between steps 1 and 2 would not be visible by the new target. Fix the data corruption by loading the metadata in the resume handler. Also, validate block_size is at least as large as both the devices' logical block size and only read 1 block from the metadata during target constructor -- no need to read entirety of metadata now that it is done during resume.

2020-03-24dm writecache: implement the "cleaner" policyMikulas Patocka1-5/+43
The "flush" or "flush_on_suspend" messages flush the whole cache. However, these flushing methods can take some time and the process is left in an interruptible state during the flush. Implement a "cleaner" option that offers an alternate flushing method. When this option is activated (either by a message or in the constructor arguments), the cache will not promote new writes (however, writes to already cached blocks are promoted, to avoid data corruption due to misordered writes) and it will gradually writeback any cached data. The userspace can then monitor the cleaning process with "dmsetup status". When the number of cached bloks drops to zero, the userspace can unload the dm-writecache target and replace it with dm-linear or other targets.

2020-02-27dm: report suspended device during destroyMikulas Patocka1-1/+1
The function dm_suspended returns true if the target is suspended. However, when the target is being suspended during unload, it returns false. An example where this is a problem: the test "!dm_suspended(wc->ti)" in writecache_writeback is not sufficient, because dm_suspended returns zero while writecache_suspend is in progress. As is, without an enhanced dm_suspended, simply switching from flush_workqueue to drain_workqueue still emits warnings: workqueue writecache-writeback: drain_workqueue() isn't complete after 10 tries workqueue writecache-writeback: drain_workqueue() isn't complete after 100 tries workqueue writecache-writeback: drain_workqueue() isn't complete after 200 tries workqueue writecache-writeback: drain_workqueue() isn't complete after 300 tries workqueue writecache-writeback: drain_workqueue() isn't complete after 400 tries writecache_suspend calls flush_workqueue(wc->writeback_wq) - this function flushes the current work. However, the workqueue may re-queue itself and flush_workqueue doesn't wait for re-queued works to finish. Because of this - the function writecache_writeback continues execution after the device was suspended and then concurrently with writecache_dtr, causing a crash in writecache_writeback. We must use drain_workqueue - that waits until the work and all re-queued works finish. As a prereq for switching to drain_workqueue, this commit fixes dm_suspended to return true after the presuspend hook and before the postsuspend hook - just like during a normal suspend. It allows simplifying the dm-integrity and dm-writecache targets so that they don't have to maintain suspended flags on their own. With this change use of drain_workqueue() can be used effectively. This change was tested with the lvm2 testsuite and cryptsetup testsuite and the are no regressions.

2020-01-16dm writecache: improve performance of large linear writes on SSDsMikulas Patocka1-4/+25
When dm-writecache is used with SSD as a cache device, it would submit a separate bio for each written block. The I/Os would be merged by the disk scheduler, but this merging degrades performance. Improve dm-writecache performance by submitting larger bios - this is possible as long as there is consecutive free space on the cache device.

2020-01-14dm writecache: fix incorrect flush sequence when doing SSD mode commitMikulas Patocka1-21/+21
When committing state, the function writecache_flush does the following: 1. write metadata (writecache_commit_flushed) 2. flush disk cache (writecache_commit_flushed) 3. wait for data writes to complete (writecache_wait_for_ios) 4. increase superblock seq_count 5. write the superblock 6. flush disk cache It may happen that at step 3, when we wait for some write to finish, the disk may report the write as finished, but the write only hit the disk cache and it is not yet stored in persistent storage. At step 5 we write the superblock - it may happen that the superblock is written before the write that we waited for in step 3. If the machine crashes, it may result in incorrect data being returned after reboot. In order to fix the bug, we must swap steps 2 and 3 in the above sequence, so that we first wait for writes to complete and then flush the disk cache.

2019-08-26dm writecache: optimize performance by sorting the blocks for writeback_allHuaisheng Ye1-3/+16
During the process of writeback, the blocks, which have been placed in wbl.list for writeback soon, are partially ordered for the contiguous ones. When writeback_all has been set, for most cases, also by default, there will be a lot of blocks in pmem need to writeback at the same time. For this case, we could optimize the performance by sorting all blocks in wbl.list. writecache_writeback doesn't need to get blocks from the tail of wc->lru, whereas from the first rb_node from the rb_tree. The benefit is that, writecache_writeback doesn't need to have any cost to sort the blocks, because of all blocks are incremental originally in rb_tree. There will be a writecache_flush when writeback_all begins to work, that will eliminate duplicate blocks in cache by committed/uncommitted. Testing platform: Thinksystem SR630 with persistent memory. The cache comes from pmem, which has 1006MB size. The origin device is HDD, 2GB of which for using. Testing steps: 1) dmsetup create mycache --table '0 4194304 writecache p /dev/sdb1 /dev/pmem4 4096 0' 2) fio -filename=/dev/mapper/mycache -direct=1 -iodepth=20 -rw=randwrite -ioengine=libaio -bs=4k -loops=1 -size=2g -group_reporting -name=mytest1 3) time dmsetup message /dev/mapper/mycache 0 flush Here is the results below, With the patch: # fio -filename=/dev/mapper/mycache -direct=1 -iodepth=20 -rw=randwrite -ioengine=libaio -bs=4k -loops=1 -size=2g -group_reporting -name=mytest1 iops : min= 1582, max=199470, avg=5305.94, stdev=21273.44, samples=197 # time dmsetup message /dev/mapper/mycache 0 flush real 0m44.020s user 0m0.002s sys 0m0.003s Without the patch: # fio -filename=/dev/mapper/mycache -direct=1 -iodepth=20 -rw=randwrite -ioengine=libaio -bs=4k -loops=1 -size=2g -group_reporting -name=mytest1 iops : min= 1202, max=197650, avg=4968.67, stdev=20480.17, samples=211 # time dmsetup message /dev/mapper/mycache 0 flush real 1m39.221s user 0m0.001s sys 0m0.003s I also have checked the data accuracy with this patch by making EXT4 filesystem on mycache, then mount it for checking md5 of files on that.

2018-07-02dm writecache: support optional offset for start of deviceMikulas Patocka1-14/+29
Add an optional parameter "start_sector" to allow the start of the device to be offset by the specified number of 512-byte sectors. The sectors below this offset are not used by the writecache device and are left to be used for disk labels and/or userspace metadata (e.g. lvm).

2018-06-08dm: add writecache targetMikulas Patocka1-0/+2305
The writecache target caches writes on persistent memory or SSD. It is intended for databases or other programs that need extremely low commit latency. The writecache target doesn't cache reads because reads are supposed to be cached in page cache in normal RAM. If persistent memory isn't available this target can still be used in SSD mode.
