dm: disable DISCARD if the underlying storage no longer supports it

2019-04-04T19:33:59+00:00

Storage devices which report supporting discard commands like WRITE_SAME_16 with unmap, but reject discard commands sent to the storage device. This is a clear storage firmware bug but it doesn't change the fact that should a program cause discards to be sent to a multipath device layered on this buggy storage, all paths can end up failed at the same time from the discards, causing possible I/O loss. The first discard to a path will fail with Illegal Request, Invalid field in cdb, e.g.: kernel: sd 8:0:8:19: [sdfn] tag#0 FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE kernel: sd 8:0:8:19: [sdfn] tag#0 Sense Key : Illegal Request [current] kernel: sd 8:0:8:19: [sdfn] tag#0 Add. Sense: Invalid field in cdb kernel: sd 8:0:8:19: [sdfn] tag#0 CDB: Write same(16) 93 08 00 00 00 00 00 a0 08 00 00 00 80 00 00 00 kernel: blk_update_request: critical target error, dev sdfn, sector 10487808 The SCSI layer converts this to the BLK_STS_TARGET error number, the sd device disables its support for discard on this path, and because of the BLK_STS_TARGET error multipath fails the discard without failing any path or retrying down a different path. But subsequent discards can cause path failures. Any discards sent to the path which already failed a discard ends up failing with EIO from blk_cloned_rq_check_limits with an "over max size limit" error since the discard limit was set to 0 by the sd driver for the path. As the error is EIO, this now fails the path and multipath tries to send the discard down the next path. This cycle continues as discards are sent until all paths fail. Fix this by training DM core to disable DISCARD if the underlying storage already did so. Also, fix branching in dm_done() and clone_endio() to reflect the mutually exclussive nature of the IO operations in question.

dm: don't reuse bio for flushes

2018-12-19T16:13:34+00:00

DM currently has a statically allocated bio that it uses to issue empty flushes. It doesn't submit this bio, it just uses it for maintaining state while setting up clones. Multiple users can access this bio at the same time. This wasn't previously an issue, even if it was a bit iffy, but with the blkg associations it can become one. We setup the blkg association, then clone bio's and submit, then remove the blkg assocation again. But since we can have multiple tasks doing this at the same time, against multiple blkg's, then we can either lose references to a blkg, or put it twice. The latter causes complaints on the percpu ref being <= 0 when released, and can cause use-after-free as well. Ming reports that xfstest generic/475 triggers this: ------------[ cut here ]------------ percpu ref (blkg_release) <= 0 (0) after switching to atomic WARNING: CPU: 13 PID: 0 at lib/percpu-refcount.c:155 percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic_rcu+0x2c9/0x4a0 Switch to just using an on-stack bio for this, and get rid of the embedded bio.

dm: improve performance by moving dm_io structure to per-bio-data

2017-12-17T01:43:13+00:00

Eliminates need for a separate mempool to allocate 'struct dm_io' objects from. As such, it saves an extra mempool allocation for each original bio that DM core is issued. This complicates the per-bio-data accessor functions by needing to conditonally add extra padding to get to a target's per-bio-data. But in the end this provides a decent performance improvement for all bio-based DM devices. On an NVMe-loop based testbed to a ramdisk (~3100 MB/s): bio-based DM linear performance improved by 2% (went from 2665 to 2777 MB/s). Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer

dm: allocate struct mapped_device with kvzalloc

2017-11-10T20:44:55+00:00

The structure srcu_struct can be very big, its size is proportional to the value CONFIG_NR_CPUS. The Fedora kernel has CONFIG_NR_CPUS 8192, the field io_barrier in the struct mapped_device has 84kB in the debugging kernel and 50kB in the non-debugging kernel. The large size may result in failure of the function kzalloc_node. In order to avoid the allocation failure, we use the function kvzalloc_node, this function falls back to vmalloc if a large contiguous chunk of memory is not available. This patch also moves the field io_barrier to the last position of struct mapped_device - the reason is that on many processor architectures, short memory offsets result in smaller code than long memory offsets - on x86-64 it reduces code size by 320 bytes. Note to stable kernel maintainers - the kernels 4.11 and older don't have the function kvzalloc_node, you can use the function vzalloc_node instead.
