2014-05-30block: virtio_blk: don't hold spin lock during world switchMing Lei
Firstly, it isn't necessary to hold lock of vblk->vq_lock when notifying hypervisor about queued I/O. Secondly, virtqueue_notify() will cause world switch and it may take long time on some hypervisors(such as, qemu-arm), so it isn't good to hold the lock and block other vCPUs. On arm64 quad core VM(qemu-kvm), the patch can increase I/O performance a lot with VIRTIO_RING_F_EVENT_IDX enabled: - without the patch: 14K IOPS - with the patch: 34K IOPS fio script: [global] direct=1 bsrange=4k-4k timeout=10 numjobs=4 ioengine=libaio iodepth=64 filename=/dev/vdc group_reporting=1 [f1] rw=randread Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: "Michael S.

2014-05-28xen/blkback: disable discard feature if requested by toolstackOlaf Hering
Newer toolstacks may provide a boolean property "discard-enable" in the backend node. Its purpose is to disable discard for file backed storage to avoid fragmentation.

2014-05-28xen-blkfront: remove type check from blkfront_setup_discardOlaf Hering
In its initial implementation a check for "type" was added, but only phy and file are handled. This breaks advertised discard support for other type values such as qdisk. Fix and simplify this function: If the backend advertises discard support it is supposed to implement it properly, so enable feature_discard unconditionally. If the backend advertises the need for a certain granularity and alignment then propagate both properties to the blocklayer. The discard-secure property is a boolean, update the code to reflect that.

2014-05-28floppy: do not corrupt bio.bi_flags when reading block 0Jiri Kosina
Commit 41a55b4de39 ("floppy: silence warning during disk test") caused bio.bi_flags being overwritten, and its initialization to BIO_UPTODATE in bio_init() to be lost. This was unnoticed until 7b7b68bba5 ("floppy: bail out in open() if drive is not responding to block0 read"), because the error value wasn't checked for in the bio completion callback. Now we are actually looking at the error, and the loss of BIO_UPTODATE causes EIO to be wrongly passed to the callback, which confuses the FD_OPEN_SHOULD_FAIL_BIT logic. Fix this by not destroying previous value of bi_flags when setting BIO_QUIET.

2014-05-16virtio_blk: fix race between start and stop queueMing Lei
When there isn't enough vring descriptor for adding to vq, blk-mq will be put as stopped state until some of pending descriptors are completed & freed. Unfortunately, the vq's interrupt may come just before blk-mq's BLK_MQ_S_STOPPED flag is set, so the blk-mq will still be kept as stopped even though lots of descriptors are completed and freed in the interrupt handler. The worst case is that all pending descriptors are freed in the interrupt handler, and the queue is kept as stopped forever. This patch fixes the problem by starting/stopping blk-mq with holding vq_lock.

2014-04-30drbd: always implicitly close last epoch when idleLars Ellenberg
Once our sender thread needs to wait_for_work(), and actually needs to schedule(), just before we do that, we already check if it is useful to implicitly close the last epoch. The condition was too strict: only implicitly close the epoch, if there have been no new (write) requests at all. The assumption was that if there were new requests, they would always be communicated one way or another, and would send necessary epoch separating barriers explicitly. This is not always true, e.g. when becoming diskless, or while explicitly starting a full resync. The last communicated epoch could stay open for a long time, locking down corresponding activity log extents. It is safe to always implicitly send that last barrier, as soon as we determin that there cannot be more requests in the last communicated epoch, even if there have been (uncommunicated) new requests in new epochs meanwhile.

2014-04-30drbd: add back some fairness to AL transactionsLars Ellenberg
When batching more updates to the activity log into single transactions, we lost the ability for new requests to force themselves into the active set: all preparation steps became non-blocking, and if all currently hot extents keep busy, they could starve out new incoming requests to cold extents for quite a while. This can only happen if your IO backend accepts more IO operations per average DRBD replication round trip time than you have al-extents configured. If we have incoming requests to cold extents, at least do one blocking update per transaction. In an artificial worst-case workload on SSD with an asynchronous 600 ms replication link, with al-extents = 7 (the minimum we allow), and concurrent full resynch, without this patch, some write requests have been observed to be starved for 40 seconds. With this patch, application observed a worst case latency of twice the replication round trip time.

Otherwise, if a disconnected Primary temporarily loses access to its local data as well, we may accidentally shrink the max-bio setting, portentially causing already assembled, but not yet processed, application bios to be spuriously failed due to device limits.

2014-04-30drbd: fix a race between start_resync and send_and_submitLars Ellenberg
In the drbd make request function, specifically in drbd_send_and_submit(), we decide whether we want to send the actual write request, or only a "set this block out of sync" information. We do so based on the current connection state, while holding the req_lock. The connection state is not supposed to change while holding the req_lock. But in drbd_start_resync, we did change that state anyways, while only holding the global_state_lock, which is enough to change sync-after dependencies (paused vs active resync), but not good enough to change the connection state. Fix: in drbd_start_resync, first grab the req_lock to serialize with drbd_send_and_submit(), before grabbing the global_state_lock to be able to evaluate the sync-after dependencies.

2014-04-30drbd: Do not BUG() when connection breaks in a special wayPhilipp Reisner
When a 'cluster wide' disconnect executes, the result comes back from the peer, and immediately after that the connection breaks then _conn_rq_cond() reported back SS_CW_SUCCESS. Therefore _conn_request_state() calls conn_set_state(), which has a BUG() in it. The BUG() is hit because conn_is_valid_transition() does not like the transaction. Which goes back to is_valid_soft_transition() returning SS_OUTDATE_WO_CONN. This fix is to consider an error reported by is_valid_soft_transition() even when the peer agreed to the transaction.

Before, application IO could pre-empt resync activity for up to hardcoded 20 seconds per resync request. A very busy server could throttle the effective resync bandwidth down to one request per 20 seconds. Now, we only let application IO pre-empt resync traffic while the current resync rate estimate is above c-min-rate. If you disable the c-min-rate throttle feature (set c-min-rate = 0), application IO will no longer pre-empt resync traffic at all.

2014-04-30drbd: fix potential distributed deadlock during verify or resyncLars Ellenberg
If max-buffers and socket buffer sizes are "too small" for the chosen resync rate, this could lead potentially lead to a distributed deadlock, which may or may not resolve itself via the "ko-count" and request timeout mechanism, or could be resolved by forced disconnect. One option to deal with this is proper configuration: use larger max-buffer and socket buffers settings, or reduce the resync rate. But even with bad configuration we should not deadlock, but "gracefully" recover. The issue is avoided by using only up to max-buffers/2 for resync requests, and by using max-buffers not as a hard limit for data buffer allocations, but as a throttle threshold only.
