git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm Pull device mapper fixes from Mike Snitzer: "A set of device-mapper fixes for 3.13. A fix for possible memory corruption during DM table load, fix a possible leak of snapshot space in case of a crash, fix a possible deadlock due to a shared workqueue in the delay target, fix to initialize read-only module parameters that are used to export metrics for dm stats and dm bufio. Quite a few stable fixes were identified for both the thin- provisioning and caching targets as a result of increased regression testing using the device-mapper-test-suite (dmts). The most notable of these are the reference counting fixes for the space map btree that is used by the dm-array interface -- without these the dm-cache metadata will leak, resulting in dm-cache devices running out of metadata blocks. Also, some important fixes related to the thin-provisioning target's transition to read-only mode on error" * tag 'dm-3.13-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: dm array: fix a reference counting bug in shadow_ablock dm space map: disallow decrementing a reference count below zero dm stats: initialize read-only module parameter dm bufio: initialize read-only module parameters dm cache: actually resize cache dm cache: update Documentation for invalidate_cblocks's range syntax dm cache policy mq: fix promotions to occur as expected dm thin: allow pool in read-only mode to transition to read-write mode dm thin: re-establish read-only state when switching to fail mode dm thin: always fallback the pool mode if commit fails dm thin: switch to read-only mode if metadata space is exhausted dm thin: switch to read only mode if a mapping insert fails dm space map metadata: return on failure in sm_metadata_new_block dm table: fail dm_table_create on dm_round_up overflow dm snapshot: avoid snapshot space leak on crash dm delay: fix a possible deadlock due to shared workqueue
2013-12-13dm array: fix a reference counting bug in shadow_ablockJoe Thornber
An old array block could have its reference count decremented below zero when it is being replaced in the btree by a new array block. The fix is to increment the old ablock's reference count just before inserting a new ablock into the btree.

2013-12-13dm space map: disallow decrementing a reference count below zeroJoe Thornber
The old behaviour, returning -EINVAL if a ref_count of 0 would be decremented, was removed in commit f722063 ("dm space map: optimise sm_ll_dec and sm_ll_inc"). To fix this regression we return an error code from the mutator function pointer passed to sm_ll_mutate() and have dec_ref_count() return -EINVAL if the old ref_count is 0. Add a DMERR to reflect the potential seriousness of this error. Also, add missing dm_tm_unlock() to sm_ll_mutate()'s error path. With this fix the following dmts regression test now passes: dmtest run --suite cache -n /metadata_use_kernel/ The next patch fixes the higher-level dm-array code that exposed this regression.

2013-12-10dm stats: initialize read-only module parameterMikulas Patocka
The module parameter stats_current_allocated_bytes in dm-mod is read-only. This parameter informs the user about memory consumption. It is not supposed to be changed by the user. However, despite being read-only, this parameter can be set on modprobe or insmod command line: modprobe dm-mod stats_current_allocated_bytes=12345 The kernel doesn't expect that this variable can be non-zero at module initialization and if the user sets it, it results in warning. This patch initializes the variable in the module init routine, so that user-supplied value is ignored.

Some module parameters in dm-bufio are read-only. These parameters inform the user about memory consumption. They are not supposed to be changed by the user. However, despite being read-only, these parameters can be set on modprobe or insmod command line, for example: modprobe dm-bufio current_allocated_bytes=12345 The kernel doesn't expect that these variables can be non-zero at module initialization and if the user sets them, it results in BUG.

2013-12-10dm cache: actually resize cacheVincent Pelletier
Commit f494a9c6b1b6dd9a9f21bbb75d9210d478eeb498 ("dm cache: cache shrinking support") broke cache resizing support. dm_cache_resize() is called with cache->cache_size before it gets updated to new_size, so it is a no-op. But the dm-cache superblock is updated with the new_size even though the backing dm-array is not resized. Fix this by passing the new_size to dm_cache_resize().

2013-12-10dm cache policy mq: fix promotions to occur as expectedJoe Thornber
Micro benchmarks that repeatedly issued IO to a single block were failing to cause a promotion from the origin device to the cache. Fix this by not updating the stats during map() if -EWOULDBLOCK will be returned. The mq policy will only update stats, consider migration, etc, once per tick period (a unit of time established between dm-cache core and the policies). When the IO thread calls the policy's map method, if it would like to migrate the associated block it returns -EWOULDBLOCK, the IO then gets handed over to a worker thread which handles the migration. The worker thread calls map again, to check the migration is still needed (avoids a race among other things). *BUT*, before this fix, if we were still in the same tick period the stats were already updated by the previous map call -- so the migration would no longer be requested.

2013-12-10dm thin: allow pool in read-only mode to transition to read-write modeJoe Thornber
A thin-pool may be in read-only mode because the pool's data or metadata space was exhausted. To allow for recovery, by adding more space to the pool, we must allow a pool to transition from PM_READ_ONLY to PM_WRITE mode. Otherwise, running out of space will render the pool permanently read-only. Signed-off-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
2013-12-10dm thin: re-establish read-only state when switching to fail modeJoe Thornber
If the thin-pool transitioned to fail mode and the thin-pool's table were reloaded for some reason: the new table's default pool mode would be read-write, though it will transition to fail mode during resume. When the pool mode transitions directly from PM_WRITE to PM_FAIL we need to re-establish the intermediate read-only state in both the metadata and persistent-data block manager (as is usually done with the normal pool mode transition sequence: PM_WRITE -> PM_READ_ONLY -> PM_FAIL).

2013-12-10dm space map metadata: return on failure in sm_metadata_new_blockMike Snitzer
Commit 2fc48021f4afdd109b9e52b6eef5db89ca80bac7 ("dm persistent metadata: add space map threshold callback") introduced a regression to the metadata block allocation path that resulted in errors being ignored. This regression was uncovered by running the following device-mapper-test-suite test: dmtest run --suite thin-provisioning -n /exhausting_metadata_space_causes_fail_mode/ The ignored error codes in sm_metadata_new_block() could crash the kernel through use of either the dm-thin or dm-cache targets, e.g.: device-mapper: thin: 253:4: reached low water mark for metadata device: sending event. device-mapper: space map metadata: unable to allocate new metadata block general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP ...

2013-12-10dm table: fail dm_table_create on dm_round_up overflowMikulas Patocka
The dm_round_up function may overflow to zero. In this case, dm_table_create() must fail rather than go on to allocate an empty array with alloc_targets().

2013-12-10dm snapshot: avoid snapshot space leak on crashMikulas Patocka
There is a possible leak of snapshot space in case of crash. The reason for space leaking is that chunks in the snapshot device are allocated sequentially, but they are finished (and stored in the metadata) out of order, depending on the order in which copying finished. For example, supposed that the metadata contains the following records SUPERBLOCK METADATA (blocks 0 ... 250) DATA 0 DATA 1 DATA 2 ... DATA 250 Now suppose that you allocate 10 new data blocks 251-260. Suppose that copying of these blocks finish out of order (block 260 finished first and the block 251 finished last). Now, the snapshot device looks like this: SUPERBLOCK METADATA (blocks 0 ... 250, 260, 259, 258, 257, 256) DATA 0 DATA 1 DATA 2 ... DATA 250 DATA 251 DATA 252 DATA 253 DATA 254 DATA 255 METADATA (blocks 255, 254, 253, 252, 251) DATA 256 DATA 257 DATA 258 DATA 259 DATA 260 Now, if the machine crashes after writing the first metadata block but before writing the second metadata block, the space for areas DATA 250-255 is leaked, it contains no valid data and it will never be used in the future. This patch makes dm-snapshot complete exceptions in the same order they were allocated, thus fixing this bug. Note: when backporting this patch to the stable kernel, change the version field in the following way: * if version in the stable kernel is {1, 11, 1}, change it to {1, 12, 0} * if version in the stable kernel is {1, 10, 0} or {1, 10, 1}, change it to {1, 10, 2} Userspace reads the version to determine if the bug was fixed, so the version change is needed.

2013-11-28md/raid5: fix newly-broken locking in get_active_stripe.NeilBrown
commit 566c09c53455d7c4f1 raid5: relieve lock contention in get_active_stripe() modified the locking in get_active_stripe() reducing the range protected by the (highly contended) device_lock. Unfortunately it reduced the range too much opening up some races. One race can occur if get_priority_stripe runs between the test on sh->count and device_lock being taken. This will mean that sh->lru is not empty while get_active_stripe thinks ->count is zero resulting in a 'BUG' firing. Another race happens if __release_stripe is called immediately after sh->count is tested and found to be non-zero. If STRIPE_HANDLE is not set, get_active_stripe should increment ->active_stripes when it increments ->count from 0, but as it didn't think it was 0, it doesn't. Extending device_lock to cover the test on sh->count close these races. While we are here, fix the two BUG tests: -If count is zero, then lru really must not be empty, or we've lock the stripe_head somehow - no other tests are relevant. -STRIPE_ON_RELEASE_LIST is completely independent of ->lru so testing it is pointless.

2013-11-19raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.majianpeng
There is an iobarrier in raid1 because of contention between normal IO and resync IO. It suspends all normal IO when resync/recovery happens. However if normal IO is out side the resync window, there is no contention. So this patch changes the barrier mechanism to only block IO that could contend with the resync that is currently happening. We partition the whole space into five parts. |---------|-----------|------------|----------------|-------| start next_resync start_next_window end_window start + RESYNC_WINDOW = next_resync next_resync + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE = start_next_window start_next_window + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE = end_window Firstly we introduce some concepts: 1 - RESYNC_WINDOW: For resync, there are 32 resync requests at most at the same time. A sync request is RESYNC_BLOCK_SIZE(64*1024). So the RESYNC_WINDOW is 32 * RESYNC_BLOCK_SIZE, that is 2MB. 2 - NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE: the distance between next_resync and start_next_window. It also indicates the distance between start_next_window and end_window. It is currently 3 * RESYNC_WINDOW_SIZE but could be tuned if this turned out not to be optimal. 3 - next_resync: the next sector at which we will do sync IO. 4 - start: a position which is at most RESYNC_WINDOW before next_resync. 5 - start_next_window: a position which is NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE beyond next_resync. Normal-io after this position doesn't need to wait for resync-io to complete. 6 - end_window: a position which is 2 * NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE beyond next_resync. This also doesn't need to wait, but is counted differently. 7 - current_window_requests: the count of normalIO between start_next_window and end_window. 8 - next_window_requests: the count of normalIO after end_window. NormalIO will be partitioned into four types: NormIO1: the end sector of bio is smaller or equal the start NormIO2: the start sector of bio larger or equal to end_window NormIO3: the start sector of bio larger or equal to start_next_window. NormIO4: the location between start_next_window and end_window |--------|-----------|--------------------|----------------|-------------| | start | next_resync | start_next_window | end_window | NormIO1 NormIO4 NormIO4 NormIO3 NormIO2 For NormIO1, we don't need any io barrier. For NormIO4, we used a similar approach to the original iobarrier mechanism. The normalIO and resyncIO must be kept separate. For NormIO2/3, we add two fields to struct r1conf: "current_window_requests" and "next_window_requests". They indicate the count of active requests in the two window. For these, we don't wait for resync io to complete. For resync action, if there are NormIO4s, we must wait for it. If not, we can proceed. But if resync action reaches start_next_window and current_window_requests > 0 (that is there are NormIO3s), we must wait until the current_window_requests becomes zero. When current_window_requests becomes zero, start_next_window also moves forward. Then current_window_requests will replaced by next_window_requests. There is a problem which when and how to change from NormIO2 to NormIO3. Only then can sync action progress. We add a field in struct r1conf "start_next_window". A: if start_next_window == MaxSector, it means there are no NormIO2/3. So start_next_window = next_resync + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE B: if current_window_requests == 0 && next_window_requests != 0, it means start_next_window move to end_window There is another problem which how to differentiate between old NormIO2(now it is NormIO3) and NormIO2. For example, there are many bios which are NormIO2 and a bio which is NormIO3. NormIO3 firstly completed, so the bios of NormIO2 became NormIO3. We add a field in struct r1bio "start_next_window". This is used to record the position conf->start_next_window when the call to wait_barrier() is made in make_request(). In allow_barrier(), we check the conf->start_next_window. If r1bio->stat_next_window == conf->start_next_window, it means there is no transition between NormIO2 and NormIO3. If r1bio->start_next_window != conf->start_next_window, it mean there was a transition between NormIO2 and NormIO3. There can only have been one transition. So it only means the bio is old NormIO2. For one bio, there may be many r1bio's. So we make sure all the r1bio->start_next_window are the same value. If we met blocked_dev in make_request(), it must call allow_barrier and wait_barrier. So the former and the later value of conf->start_next_window will be change. If there are many r1bio's with differnet start_next_window, for the relevant bio, it depend on the last value of r1bio. It will cause error. To avoid this, we must wait for previous r1bios to complete. Signed-off-by: Jianpeng Ma <majianpeng@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2013-11-19md/raid5: avoid deadlock when raid5 array has unack badblocks during ↵NeilBrown
md_stop_writes. When raid5 recovery hits a fresh badblock, this badblock will flagged as unack badblock until md_update_sb() is called. But md_stop will take reconfig lock which means raid5d can't call md_update_sb() in md_check_recovery(), the badblock will always be unack, so raid5d thread enters an infinite loop and md_stop_write() can never stop sync_thread. This causes deadlock. To solve this, when STOP_ARRAY ioctl is issued and sync_thread is running, we need set md->recovery FROZEN and INTR flags and wait for sync_thread to stop before we (re)take reconfig lock. This requires that raid5 reshape_request notices MD_RECOVERY_INTR (which it probably should have noticed anyway) and stops waiting for a metadata update in that case.

2013-11-19md: use MD_RECOVERY_INTR instead of kthread_should_stop in resync thread.NeilBrown
We currently use kthread_should_stop() in various places in the sync/reshape code to abort early. However some places set MD_RECOVERY_INTR but don't immediately call md_reap_sync_thread() (and we will shortly get another one). When this happens we are relying on md_check_recovery() to reap the thread and that only happen when it finishes normally. So MD_RECOVERY_INTR must lead to a normal finish without the kthread_should_stop() test. So replace all relevant tests, and be more careful when the thread is interrupted not to acknowledge that latest step in a reshape as it may not be fully committed yet. Also add a test on MD_RECOVERY_INTR in the 'is_mddev_idle' loop so we don't wait have to wait for the speed to drop before we can abort. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2013-11-14raid5: relieve lock contention in get_active_stripe()Shaohua Li
get_active_stripe() is the last place we have lock contention. It has two paths. One is stripe isn't found and new stripe is allocated, the other is stripe is found. The first path basically calls __find_stripe and init_stripe. It accesses conf->generation, conf->previous_raid_disks, conf->raid_disks, conf->prev_chunk_sectors, conf->chunk_sectors, conf->max_degraded, conf->prev_algo, conf->algorithm, the stripe_hashtbl and inactive_list. Except stripe_hashtbl and inactive_list, other fields are changed very rarely. With this patch, we split inactive_list and add new hash locks. Each free stripe belongs to a specific inactive list. Which inactive list is determined by stripe's lock_hash. Note, even a stripe hasn't a sector assigned, it has a lock_hash assigned. Stripe's inactive list is protected by a hash lock, which is determined by it's lock_hash too. The lock_hash is derivied from current stripe_hashtbl hash, which guarantees any stripe_hashtbl list will be assigned to a specific lock_hash, so we can use new hash lock to protect stripe_hashtbl list too. The goal of the new hash locks introduced is we can only use the new locks in the first path of get_active_stripe(). Since we have several hash locks, lock contention is relieved significantly. The first path of get_active_stripe() accesses other fields, since they are changed rarely, changing them now need take conf->device_lock and all hash locks. For a slow path, this isn't a problem. If we need lock device_lock and hash lock, we always lock hash lock first. The tricky part is release_stripe and friends. We need take device_lock first. Neil's suggestion is we put inactive stripes to a temporary list and readd it to inactive_list after device_lock is released. In this way, we add stripes to temporary list with device_lock hold and remove stripes from the list with hash lock hold. So we don't allow concurrent access to the temporary list, which means we need allocate temporary list for all participants of release_stripe. One downside is free stripes are maintained in their inactive list, they can't across between the lists. By default, we have total 256 stripes and 8 lists, so each list will have 32 stripes. It's possible one list has free stripe but other list hasn't. The chance should be rare because stripes allocation are even distributed. And we can always allocate more stripes for cache, several mega bytes memory isn't a big deal. This completely removes the lock contention of the first path of get_active_stripe(). It slows down the second code path a little bit though because we now need takes two locks, but since the hash lock isn't contended, the overhead should be quite small (several atomic instructions). The second path of get_active_stripe() (basically sequential write or big request size randwrite) still has lock contentions.

2013-11-14md: fix calculation of stacking limits on level change.NeilBrown
The various ->run routines of md personalities assume that the 'queue' has been initialised by the blk_set_stacking_limits() call in md_alloc(). However when the level is changed (by level_store()) the ->run routine for the new level is called for an array which has already had the stacking limits modified. This can result in incorrect final settings. So call blk_set_stacking_limits() before ->run in level_store(). A specific consequence of this bug is that it causes discard_granularity to be set incorrectly when reshaping a RAID4 to a RAID0. This is suitable for any -stable kernel since 3.3 in which blk_set_stacking_limits() was introduced.

Pull block IO core updates from Jens Axboe: "This is the pull request for the core changes in the block layer for 3.13. It contains: - The new blk-mq request interface. This is a new and more scalable queueing model that marries the best part of the request based interface we currently have (which is fully featured, but scales poorly) and the bio based "interface" which the new drivers for high IOPS devices end up using because it's much faster than the request based one. The bio interface has no block layer support, since it taps into the stack much earlier. This means that drivers end up having to implement a lot of functionality on their own, like tagging, timeout handling, requeue, etc. The blk-mq interface provides all these. Some drivers even provide a switch to select bio or rq and has code to handle both, since things like merging only works in the rq model and hence is faster for some workloads. This is a huge mess. Conversion of these drivers nets us a substantial code reduction. Initial results on converting SCSI to this model even shows an 8x improvement on single queue devices. So while the model was intended to work on the newer multiqueue devices, it has substantial improvements for "classic" hardware as well. This code has gone through extensive testing and development, it's now ready to go. A pull request is coming to convert virtio-blk to this model will be will be coming as well, with more drivers scheduled for 3.14 conversion. - Two blktrace fixes from Jan and Chen Gang. - A plug merge fix from Alireza Haghdoost. - Conversion of __get_cpu_var() from Christoph Lameter. - Fix for sector_div() with 64-bit divider from Geert Uytterhoeven. - A fix for a race between request completion and the timeout handling from Jeff Moyer. This is what caused the merge conflict with blk-mq/core, in case you are looking at that. - A dm stacking fix from Mike Snitzer. - A code consolidation fix and duplicated code removal from Kent Overstreet. - A handful of block bug fixes from Mikulas Patocka, fixing a loop crash and memory corruption on blk cg. - Elevator switch bug fix from Tomoki Sekiyama. A heads-up that I had to rebase this branch. Initially the immutable bio_vecs had been queued up for inclusion, but a week later, it became clear that it wasn't fully cooked yet. So the decision was made to pull this out and postpone it until 3.14. It was a straight forward rebase, just pruning out the immutable series and the later fixes of problems with it.

Rather than storing the cblock in each cache entry, we allocate all entries in an array and infer the cblock from the entry position. Saves 4 bytes of memory per cache block. In addition, this gives us an easy way of looking up cache entries by cblock. We no longer need to keep an explicit bitset to track which cblocks have been allocated.
