2014-12-17dm thin: fix crash by initializing thin device's refcount and completion earlierMarc Dionne1-3/+2
Commit 80e96c5484be ("dm thin: do not allow thin device activation while pool is suspended") delayed the initialization of a new thin device's refcount and completion until after this new thin was added to the pool's active_thins list and the pool lock is released. This opens a race with a worker thread that walks the list and calls thin_get/put, noticing that the refcount goes to 0 and calling complete, freezing up the system and giving the oops below: kernel: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) kernel: IP: [<ffffffff810d360b>] __wake_up_common+0x2b/0x90 kernel: Call Trace: kernel: [<ffffffff810d3683>] __wake_up_locked+0x13/0x20 kernel: [<ffffffff810d3dc7>] complete+0x37/0x50 kernel: [<ffffffffa0595c50>] thin_put+0x20/0x30 [dm_thin_pool] kernel: [<ffffffffa059aab7>] do_worker+0x667/0x870 [dm_thin_pool] kernel: [<ffffffff816a8a4c>] ? __schedule+0x3ac/0x9a0 kernel: [<ffffffff810b1aef>] process_one_work+0x14f/0x400 kernel: [<ffffffff810b206b>] worker_thread+0x6b/0x490 kernel: [<ffffffff810b2000>] ? rescuer_thread+0x260/0x260 kernel: [<ffffffff810b6a7b>] kthread+0xdb/0x100 kernel: [<ffffffff810b69a0>] ? kthread_create_on_node+0x170/0x170 kernel: [<ffffffff816ad7ec>] ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0 kernel: [<ffffffff810b69a0>] ? kthread_create_on_node+0x170/0x170 Set the thin device's initial refcount and initialize the completion before adding it to the pool's active_thins list in thin_ctr().

2014-12-17dm thin: fix missing out-of-data-space to write mode transition if blocks ↵Joe Thornber1-2/+20
are released Discard bios and thin device deletion have the potential to release data blocks. If the thin-pool is in out-of-data-space mode, and blocks were released, transition the thin-pool back to full write mode. The correct time to do this is just after the thin-pool metadata commit. It cannot be done before the commit because the space maps will not allow immediate reuse of the data blocks in case there's a rollback following power failure.

2014-12-17dm thin: fix inability to discard blocks when in out-of-data-space modeJoe Thornber1-1/+1
When the pool was in PM_OUT_OF_SPACE mode its process_prepared_discard function pointer was incorrectly being set to process_prepared_discard_passdown rather than process_prepared_discard. This incorrect function pointer meant the discard was being passed down, but not effecting the mapping. As such any discard that was issued, in an attempt to reclaim blocks, would not successfully free data space.

2014-11-21dm thin: fix pool_io_hints to avoid looking at max_hw_sectorsMike Snitzer1-14/+7
Simplify the pool_io_hints code that works to establish a max_sectors value that is a power-of-2 factor of the thin-pool's blocksize. The biggest associated improvement is that the DM thin-pool is no longer concerning itself with the data device's max_hw_sectors when adjusting max_sectors. This fixes the relative fragility of the original "dm thin: adjust max_sectors_kb based on thinp blocksize" commit that only became apparent when testing was performed using a DM thin-pool ontop of a virtio_blk device. One proposed upstream patch detailed the problems inherent in virtio_blk: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/11/20/611 So even though virtio_blk incorrectly set its max_hw_sectors it actually helped make it clear that we need DM thinp to be tolerant of any future Linux driver that incorrectly sets max_hw_sectors. We only need to be concerned with modifying the thin-pool device's max_sectors limit if it is smaller than the thin-pool's blocksize. In this case the value of max_sectors does become a limiting factor when upper layers (e.g. filesystems) construct their bios. But if the hardware can support IOs larger than the thin-pool's blocksize the user is encouraged to adjust the thin-pool's data device's max_sectors accordingly -- doing so will enable the thin-pool to inherit the established user-defined max_sectors.

2014-11-19dm thin: suspend/resume active thin devices when reloading thin-poolMike Snitzer1-2/+38
Before this change it was expected that userspace would first suspend all active thin devices, reload/resize the thin-pool target, then resume all active thin devices. Now the thin-pool suspend/resume will trigger the suspend/resume of all active thins via appropriate calls to dm_internal_suspend and dm_internal_resume.

2014-11-10dm thin: throttle incoming IOJoe Thornber1-1/+65
Throttle IO based on the time it's taking the worker to do one loop. There were reports of hung task timeouts occuring and it was observed that the excessively long avgqu-sz (as reported by iostat) was contributing to these hung tasks. Throttling definitely helps dm-thinp perform better under heavy IO load (without being detremental by being overzealous). It reduces avgqu-sz drastically, e.g.: from 60K to ~6K, and even as low as 150 once metadata is cached by bufio, when dirty_ratio=5, dirty_background_ratio=2. And avgqu-sz stays at or below 30K even with dirty_ratio=20, dirty_background_ratio=10. Signed-off-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

2014-08-01dm thin: set minimum_io_size to pool's data block sizeMike Snitzer1-1/+1
Before, if the block layer's limit stacking didn't establish an optimal_io_size that was compatible with the thin-pool's data block size we'd set optimal_io_size to the data block size and minimum_io_size to 0 (which the block layer adjusts to be physical_block_size). Update pool_io_hints() to set both minimum_io_size and optimal_io_size to the thin-pool's data block size. This fixes an issue reported where mkfs.xfs would create more XFS Allocation Groups on thinp volumes than on a normal linear LV of comparable size, see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1003227 Reported-by: Chris Murphy <lists@colorremedies.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

2014-06-12dm thin: update discard_granularity to reflect the thin-pool blocksizeLukas Czerner1-1/+2
DM thinp already checks whether the discard_granularity of the data device is a factor of the thin-pool block size. But when using the dm-thin-pool's discard passdown support, DM thinp was not selecting the max of the underlying data device's discard_granularity and the thin-pool's block size. Update set_discard_limits() to set discard_granularity to the max of these values. This enables blkdev_issue_discard() to properly align the discards that are sent to the DM thin device on a full block boundary. As such each discard will now cover an entire DM thin-pool block and the block will be reclaimed.

If the pool runs out of data space, dm-thin can be configured to either error IOs that would trigger provisioning, or hold those IOs until the pool is resized. Unfortunately, holding IOs until the pool is resized can result in a cascade of tasks hitting the hung_task_timeout, which may render the system unavailable. Add a fixed timeout so IOs can only be held for a maximum of 60 seconds. If LVM is going to resize a thin-pool that is out of data space it needs to be prompt about it.

2014-04-04dm thin: sort the per thin deferred bios using an rb_treeMike Snitzer1-2/+82
A thin-pool will allocate blocks using FIFO order for all thin devices which share the thin-pool. Because of this simplistic allocation the thin-pool's space can become fragmented quite easily; especially when multiple threads are requesting blocks in parallel. Sort each thin device's deferred_bio_list based on logical sector to help reduce fragmentation of the thin-pool's ondisk layout. The following tables illustrate the realized gains/potential offered by sorting each thin device's deferred_bio_list. An "io size"-sized random read of the device would result in "seeks/io" fragments being read, with an average "distance/seek" between each fragment. Data was written to a single thin device using multiple threads via iozone (8 threads, 64K for both the block_size and io_size). unsorted: io size seeks/io distance/seek -------------------------------------- 4k 0.000 0b 16k 0.013 11m 64k 0.065 11m 256k 0.274 10m 1m 1.109 10m 4m 4.411 10m 16m 17.097 11m 64m 60.055 13m 256m 148.798 25m 1g 809.929 21m sorted: io size seeks/io distance/seek -------------------------------------- 4k 0.000 0b 16k 0.000 1g 64k 0.001 1g 256k 0.003 1g 1m 0.011 1g 4m 0.045 1g 16m 0.181 1g 64m 0.747 1011m 256m 3.299 1g 1g 14.373 1g Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Acked-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com>

2014-03-06dm thin: fix out of data space handlingJoe Thornber1-45/+102
Ideally a thin pool would never run out of data space; the low water mark would trigger userland to extend the pool before we completely run out of space. However, many small random IOs to unprovisioned space can consume data space at an alarming rate. Adjust your low water mark if you're frequently seeing "out-of-data-space" mode. Before this fix, if data space ran out the pool would be put in PM_READ_ONLY mode which also aborted the pool's current metadata transaction (data loss for any changes in the transaction). This had a side-effect of needlessly compromising data consistency. And retry of queued unserviceable bios, once the data pool was resized, could initiate changes to potentially inconsistent pool metadata. Now when the pool's data space is exhausted transition to a new pool mode (PM_OUT_OF_DATA_SPACE) that allows metadata to be changed but data may not be allocated. This allows users to remove thin volumes or discard data to recover data space. The pool is no longer put in PM_READ_ONLY mode in response to the pool running out of data space. And PM_READ_ONLY mode no longer aborts the pool's current metadata transaction. Also, set_pool_mode() will now notify userspace when the pool mode is changed.

2014-03-06dm thin: ensure user takes action to validate data and metadata consistencyMike Snitzer1-22/+54
If a thin metadata operation fails the current transaction will abort, whereby causing potential for IO layers up the stack (e.g. filesystems) to have data loss. As such, set THIN_METADATA_NEEDS_CHECK_FLAG in the thin metadata's superblock which: 1) requires the user verify the thin metadata is consistent (e.g. use thin_check, etc) 2) suggests the user verify the thin data is consistent (e.g. use fsck) The only way to clear the superblock's THIN_METADATA_NEEDS_CHECK_FLAG is to run thin_repair. On metadata operation failure: abort current metadata transaction, set pool in read-only mode, and now set the needs_check flag. As part of this change, constraints are introduced or relaxed: * don't allow a pool to transition to write mode if needs_check is set * don't allow data or metadata space to be resized if needs_check is set * if a thin pool's metadata space is exhausted: the kernel will now force the user to take the pool offline for repair before the kernel will allow the metadata space to be extended.

When the pool mode is changed it isn't synchronized with the mode in pool_features stored in the target's context (ti->private) that is used as the basis for (re)establishing the pool mode during resume via bind_control_target. It is important that we synchronize the pool mode when it is changed otherwise the pool may experience and unexpected mode transition on the next resume (especially if there was no new table load).

2014-02-27dm thin: allow metadata space larger than supported to go unusedMike Snitzer1-12/+19
It was always intended that a user could provide a thin metadata device that is larger than the max supported by the on-disk format. The extra space would just go unused. Unfortunately that never worked. If the user attempted to use a larger metadata device on creation they would get an error like the following: device-mapper: space map common: space map too large device-mapper: transaction manager: couldn't create metadata space map device-mapper: thin metadata: tm_create_with_sm failed device-mapper: table: 252:17: thin-pool: Error creating metadata object device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table Fix this by allowing the initial metadata space map creation to cap its size at the max number of blocks supported (DM_SM_METADATA_MAX_BLOCKS). get_metadata_dev_size() must also impose DM_SM_METADATA_MAX_BLOCKS (via THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS), otherwise extending metadata would cap at THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS_WARNING (which is larger than supported). Also, the calculation for THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS didn't account for the sizeof the disk_bitmap_header. So the supported maximum metadata size is a bit smaller (reduced from 33423360 to 33292800 sectors). Lastly, remove the "excess space will not be used" warning message from get_metadata_dev_size(); it resulted in printing the warning multiple times. Factor out warn_if_metadata_device_too_big(), call it from pool_ctr() and maybe_resize_metadata_dev(). Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Acked-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com>
2014-02-24dm thin: fix the error path for the thin device constructorMike Snitzer1-1/+4
dm_pool_close_thin_device() must be called if dm_set_target_max_io_len() fails in thin_ctr(). Otherwise __pool_destroy() will fail because the pool will still have an open thin device: device-mapper: thin metadata: attempt to close pmd when 1 device(s) are still open device-mapper: thin: __pool_destroy: dm_pool_metadata_close() failed. Also, must establish error code if failing thin_ctr() because the pool is in fail_io mode.

2014-02-17dm thin: avoid metadata commit if a pool's thin devices haven't changedMike Snitzer1-1/+2
Commit 905e51b ("dm thin: commit outstanding data every second") introduced a periodic commit. This commit occurs regardless of whether any thin devices have made changes. Fix the periodic commit to check if any of a pool's thin devices have changed using dm_pool_changed_this_transaction().

Pull core block IO changes from Jens Axboe: "The major piece in here is the immutable bio_ve series from Kent, the rest is fairly minor. It was supposed to go in last round, but various issues pushed it to this release instead. The pull request contains: - Various smaller blk-mq fixes from different folks. Nothing major here, just minor fixes and cleanups. - Fix for a memory leak in the error path in the block ioctl code from Christian Engelmayer. - Header export fix from CaiZhiyong. - Finally the immutable biovec changes from Kent Overstreet. This enables some nice future work on making arbitrarily sized bios possible, and splitting more efficient.

2014-01-07dm thin: fix set_pool_mode exposed pool operation racesMike Snitzer1-13/+27
The pool mode must not be switched until after the corresponding pool process_* methods have been established. Otherwise, because set_pool_mode() isn't interlocked with the IO path for performance reasons, the IO path can end up executing process_* operations that don't match the mode. This patch eliminates problems like the following (as seen on really fast PCIe SSD storage when transitioning the pool's mode from PM_READ_ONLY to PM_WRITE): kernel: device-mapper: thin: 253:2: reached low water mark for data device: sending event. kernel: device-mapper: thin: 253:2: no free data space available. kernel: device-mapper: thin: 253:2: switching pool to read-only mode kernel: device-mapper: thin: 253:2: switching pool to write mode kernel: ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel: WARNING: CPU: 11 PID: 7564 at drivers/md/dm-thin.c:995 handle_unserviceable_bio+0x146/0x160 [dm_thin_pool]() ... kernel: Workqueue: dm-thin do_worker [dm_thin_pool] kernel: 00000000000003e3 ffff880308831cc8 ffffffff8152ebcb 00000000000003e3 kernel: 0000000000000000 ffff880308831d08 ffffffff8104c46c ffff88032502a800 kernel: ffff880036409000 ffff88030ec7ce00 0000000000000001 00000000ffffffc3 kernel: Call Trace: kernel: [<ffffffff8152ebcb>] dump_stack+0x49/0x5e kernel: [<ffffffff8104c46c>] warn_slowpath_common+0x8c/0xc0 kernel: [<ffffffff8104c4ba>] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 kernel: [<ffffffffa001e2c6>] handle_unserviceable_bio+0x146/0x160 [dm_thin_pool] kernel: [<ffffffffa001f276>] process_bio_read_only+0x136/0x180 [dm_thin_pool] kernel: [<ffffffffa0020b75>] process_deferred_bios+0xc5/0x230 [dm_thin_pool] kernel: [<ffffffffa0020d31>] do_worker+0x51/0x60 [dm_thin_pool] kernel: [<ffffffff81067823>] process_one_work+0x183/0x490 kernel: [<ffffffff81068c70>] worker_thread+0x120/0x3a0 kernel: [<ffffffff81068b50>] ? manage_workers+0x160/0x160 kernel: [<ffffffff8106e86e>] kthread+0xce/0xf0 kernel: [<ffffffff8106e7a0>] ? kthread_freezable_should_stop+0x70/0x70 kernel: [<ffffffff8153b3ec>] ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0 kernel: [<ffffffff8106e7a0>] ? kthread_freezable_should_stop+0x70/0x70 kernel: ---[ end trace 3f00528e08ffa55c ]--- kernel: device-mapper: thin: pool mode is PM_WRITE not PM_READ_ONLY like expected!? dm-thin.c:995 was the WARN_ON_ONCE(get_pool_mode(pool) != PM_READ_ONLY); at the top of handle_unserviceable_bio(). And as the additional debugging I had conveys: the pool mode was _not_ PM_READ_ONLY like expected, it was already PM_WRITE, yet pool->process_bio was still set to process_bio_read_only(). Also, while fixing this up, reduce logging of redundant pool mode transitions by checking new_mode is different from old_mode.
