From b844fe691897221ad0d5e0279c8ea9e3e4a46982 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Darrick J. Wong" Date: Fri, 5 Apr 2013 15:36:32 +0100 Subject: dm cache: fix writes to cache device in writethrough mode The dm-cache writethrough strategy introduced by commit e2e74d617eadc15 ("dm cache: fix race in writethrough implementation") issues a bio to the origin device, remaps and then issues the bio to the cache device. This more conservative in-series approach was selected to favor correctness over performance (of the previous parallel writethrough). However, this in-series implementation that reuses the same bio to write both the origin and cache device didn't take into account that the block layer's req_bio_endio() modifies a completing bio's bi_sector and bi_size. So the new writethrough strategy needs to preserve these bio fields, and restore them before submission to the cache device, otherwise nothing gets written to the cache (because bi_size is 0). This patch adds a struct dm_bio_details field to struct per_bio_data, and uses dm_bio_record() and dm_bio_restore() to ensure the bio is restored before reissuing to the cache device. Adding such a large structure to the per_bio_data is not ideal but we can improve this later, for now correctness is the important thing. This problem initially went unnoticed because the dm-cache test-suite uses a linear DM device for the dm-cache device's origin device. Writethrough worked as expected because DM submits a *clone* of the original bio, so the original bio which was reused for the cache was never touched. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

Writeback mode doesn't need this, so this patch reduces the per_bio_data_size to 16 bytes in this case instead of 1096. The dm_bio_details structure was added in "dm cache: fix writes to cache device in writethrough mode" which fixed commit e2e74d617e ("dm cache: fix race in writethrough implementation"). In writeback mode we avoid allocating the writethrough-specific members of the per_bio_data structure (the dm_bio_details structure included).
