2017-11-25bcache: check return value of register_shrinkerMichael Lyle1-1/+4
register_shrinker is now __must_check, so check it to kill a warning. Caller of bch_btree_cache_alloc in super.c appropriately checks return value so this is fully plumbed through. This V2 fixes checkpatch warnings and improves the commit description, as I was too hasty getting the previous version out.

2017-11-25bcache: recover data from backing when data is cleanRui Hua1-7/+6
When we send a read request and hit the clean data in cache device, there is a situation called cache read race in bcache(see the commit in the tail of cache_look_up(), the following explaination just copy from there): The bucket we're reading from might be reused while our bio is in flight, and we could then end up reading the wrong data. We guard against this by checking (in bch_cache_read_endio()) if the pointer is stale again; if so, we treat it as an error (s->iop.error = -EINTR) and reread from the backing device (but we don't pass that error up anywhere) It should be noted that cache read race happened under normal circumstances, not the circumstance when SSD failed, it was counted and shown in /sys/fs/bcache/XXX/internal/cache_read_races. Without this patch, when we use writeback mode, we will never reread from the backing device when cache read race happened, until the whole cache device is clean, because the condition (s->recoverable && (dc && !atomic_read(&dc->has_dirty))) is false in cached_dev_read_error(). In this situation, the s->iop.error(= -EINTR) will be passed up, at last, user will receive -EINTR when it's bio end, this is not suitable, and wield to up-application. In this patch, we use s->read_dirty_data to judge whether the read request hit dirty data in cache device, it is safe to reread data from the backing device when the read request hit clean data. This can not only handle cache read race, but also recover data when failed read request from cache device.

2017-11-25bcache: add a comment in journal bucket readingTang Junhui1-0/+5
Journal bucket is a circular buffer, the bucket can be like YYYNNNYY, which means the first valid journal in the 7th bucket, and the latest valid journal in third bucket, in this case, if we do not try we the zero index first, We may get a valid journal in the 7th bucket, then we call find_next_bit(bitmap,ca->sb.njournal_buckets, l + 1) to get the first invalid bucket after the 7th bucket, because all these buckets is valid, so no bit 1 in bitmap, thus find_next_bit() function would return with ca->sb.njournal_buckets (8). So, after that, bcache only read journal in 7th and 8the bucket, the first to the third buckets are lost. So, it is important to let developer know that, we need to try the zero index at first in the hash-search, and avoid any breaks in future's code modification.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman26-0/+26
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

Currently, Cache missed IOs are identified by s->cache_miss, but actually, there are many situations that missed IOs are not assigned a value for s->cache_miss in cached_dev_cache_miss(), for example, a bypassed IO (s->iop.bypass = 1), or the cache_bio allocate failed. In these situations, it will go to out_put or out_submit, and s->cache_miss is null, which leads bch_mark_cache_accounting() to treat this IO as a hit IO.

2017-10-31bcache: convert cached_dev.count from atomic_t to refcount_tElena Reshetova3-7/+8
atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference counters with the following properties: - counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set() - a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero - once counter reaches zero, its further increments aren't allowed - counter schema uses basic atomic operations (set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.) Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable. The variable cached_dev.count is used as pure reference counter. Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations.

2017-10-31bcache: only permit to recovery read error when cache device is cleanColy Li1-1/+9
When bcache does read I/Os, for example in writeback or writethrough mode, if a read request on cache device is failed, bcache will try to recovery the request by reading from cached device. If the data on cached device is not synced with cache device, then requester will get a stale data. For critical storage system like database, providing stale data from recovery may result an application level data corruption, which is unacceptible. With this patch, for a failed read request in writeback or writethrough mode, recovery a recoverable read request only happens when cache device is clean. That is to say, all data on cached device is up to update. For other cache modes in bcache, read request will never hit cached_dev_read_error(), they don't need this patch. Please note, because cache mode can be switched arbitrarily in run time, a writethrough mode might be switched from a writeback mode. Therefore checking dc->has_data in writethrough mode still makes sense. Changelog: V4: Fix parens error pointed by Michael Lyle. v3: By response from Kent Oversteet, he thinks recovering stale data is a bug to fix, and option to permit it is unnecessary. So this version the sysfs file is removed. v2: rename sysfs entry from allow_stale_data_on_failure to allow_stale_data_on_failure, and fix the confusing commit log. v1: initial patch posted.

The previous code artificially limited writeback rate to 1000000 blocks/second (NSEC_PER_MSEC), which is a rate that can be met on fast hardware. The rate limiting code works fine (though with decreased precision) up to 3 orders of magnitude faster, so use NSEC_PER_SEC. Additionally, ensure that uint32_t is used as a type for rate throughout the rate management so that type checking/clamp_t can work properly. bch_next_delay should be rewritten for increased precision and better handling of high rates and long sleep periods, but this is adequate for now.

2017-10-16bcache: smooth writeback rate controlMichael Lyle2-3/+9
This works in conjunction with the new PI controller. Currently, in real-world workloads, the rate controller attempts to write back 1 sector per second. In practice, these minimum-rate writebacks are between 4k and 60k in test scenarios, since bcache aggregates and attempts to do contiguous writes and because filesystems on top of bcachefs typically write 4k or more. Previously, bcache used to guarantee to write at least once per second. This means that the actual writeback rate would exceed the configured amount by a factor of 8-120 or more. This patch adjusts to be willing to sleep up to 2.5 seconds, and to target writing 4k/second. On the smallest writes, it will sleep 1 second like before, but many times it will sleep longer and load the backing device less. This keeps the loading on the cache and backing device related to writeback more consistent when writing back at low rates.

2017-10-16bcache: implement PI controller for writeback rateMichael Lyle3-52/+66
bcache uses a control system to attempt to keep the amount of dirty data in cache at a user-configured level, while not responding excessively to transients and variations in write rate. Previously, the system was a PD controller; but the output from it was integrated, turning the Proportional term into an Integral term, and turning the Derivative term into a crude Proportional term. Performance of the controller has been uneven in production, and it has tended to respond slowly, oscillate, and overshoot. This patch set replaces the current control system with an explicit PI controller and tuning that should be correct for most hardware. By default, it attempts to write at a rate that would retire 1/40th of the current excess blocks per second. An integral term in turn works to remove steady state errors. IMO, this yields benefits in simplicity (removing weighted average filtering, etc) and system performance. Another small change is a tunable parameter is introduced to allow the user to specify a minimum rate at which dirty blocks are retired. There is a slight difference from earlier versions of the patch in integral handling to prevent excessive negative integral windup.

2017-10-16bcache: rewrite multiple partitions supportColy Li1-12/+25
Current partition support of bcache is confusing and buggy. It tries to trace non-continuous device minor numbers by an ida bit string, and mistakenly mixed bcache device index with minor numbers. This design generates several negative results, - Index of bcache device name is not consecutive under /dev/. If there are 3 bcache devices, they name will be, /dev/bcache0, /dev/bcache16, /dev/bcache32 Only bcache code indexes bcache device name is such an interesting way. - First minor number of each bcache device is traced by ida bit string. One bcache device will occupy 16 bits, this is not a good idea. Indeed only one bit is enough. - Because minor number and bcache device index are mixed, a device index is allocated by ida_simple_get(), but an first minor number is sent into ida_simple_remove() to release the device. It confused original author too. Root cause of the above errors is, bcache code should not handle device minor numbers at all! A standard process to support multiple partitions in Linux kernel is, - Device driver provides major device number, and indexes multiple device instances. - Device driver does not allocat nor trace device minor number, only provides a first minor number of a given device instance, and sets how many minor numbers (paritions) the device instance may have. All rested stuffs are handled by block layer code, most of the details can be found from block/{genhd, partition-generic}.c files. This patch re-writes multiple partitions support for bcache. It makes whole things to be more clear, and uses ida bit string in a more efficeint way. - Ida bit string only traces bcache device index, not minor number. For a bcache device with 128 partitions, only one bit in ida bit string is enough. - Device minor number and device index are separated in concept. Device index is used for /dev node naming, and ida bit string trace. Minor number is calculated from device index and only used to initialize first_minor of a bcache device. - It does not follow any standard for 16 partitions on a bcache device. This patch sets 128 partitions on single bcache device at max, this is the limitation from GPT (GUID Partition Table) and supported by fdisk. Considering a typical device minor number is 20 bits width, each bcache device may have 128 partitions (7 bits), there can be 8192 bcache devices existing on system. For most common deployment for a single server in now days, it should be enough.

2017-10-16bcache: check ca->alloc_thread initialized before wake up itColy Li1-1/+2
In bcache code, sysfs entries are created before all resources get allocated, e.g. allocation thread of a cache set. There is posibility for NULL pointer deference if a resource is accessed but which is not initialized yet. Indeed Jorg Bornschein catches one on cache set allocation thread and gets a kernel oops. The reason for this bug is, when bch_bucket_alloc() is called during cache set registration and attaching, ca->alloc_thread is not properly allocated and initialized yet, call wake_up_process() on ca->alloc_thread triggers NULL pointer deference failure. A simple and fast fix is, before waking up ca->alloc_thread, checking whether it is allocated, and only wake up ca->alloc_thread when it is not NULL.

2017-09-27bcache: use llist_for_each_entry_safe() in __closure_wake_up()Coly Li1-2/+2
Commit 09b3efec ("bcache: Don't reinvent the wheel but use existing llist API") replaces the following while loop by llist_for_each_entry(), - - while (reverse) { - cl = container_of(reverse, struct closure, list); - reverse = llist_next(reverse); - + llist_for_each_entry(cl, reverse, list) { closure_set_waiting(cl, 0); closure_sub(cl, CLOSURE_WAITING + 1); } This modification introduces a potential race by iterating a corrupted list. Here is how it happens. In the above modification, closure_sub() may wake up a process which is waiting on reverse list. If this process decides to wait again by calling closure_wait(), its cl->list will be added to another wait list. Then when llist_for_each_entry() continues to iterate next node, it will travel on another new wait list which is added in closure_wait(), not the original reverse list in __closure_wake_up(). It is more probably to happen on UP machine because the waked up process may preempt the process which wakes up it. Use llist_for_each_entry_safe() will fix the issue, the safe version fetch next node before waking up a process. Then the copy of next node will make sure list iteration stays on original reverse list.

2017-09-07bcache: initialize dirty stripes in flash_dev_run()Tang Junhui3-6/+7
bcache uses a Proportion-Differentiation Controller algorithm to control writeback rate to cached devices. In the PD controller algorithm, dirty stripes of thin flash device should not be counted in, because flash only volumes never write back dirty data. Currently dirty stripe counter for thin flash device is not initialized when the thin flash device starts. Which means the following calculation in PD controller will reference an undefined dirty stripes number, and all cached devices attached to the same cache set where the thin flash device lies on may have an inaccurate writeback rate. This patch calles bch_sectors_dirty_init() in flash_dev_run(), to correctly initialize dirty stripe counter when the thin flash device starts to run. This patch also does following parameter data type change, -void bch_sectors_dirty_init(struct cached_dev *dc); +void bch_sectors_dirty_init(struct bcache_device *); to call this function conveniently in flash_dev_run().

2017-09-06bcache: fix bch_hprint crash and improve outputMichael Lyle1-15/+35
Most importantly, solve a crash where %llu was used to format signed numbers. This would cause a buffer overflow when reading sysfs writeback_rate_debug, as only 20 bytes were allocated for this and %llu writes 20 characters plus a null. Always use the units mechanism rather than having different output paths for simplicity. Also, correct problems with display output where 1.10 was a larger number than 1.09, by multiplying by 10 and then dividing by 1024 instead of dividing by 100. (Remainders of >= 1000 would print as .10). Minor changes: Always display the decimal point instead of trying to omit it based on number of digits shown. Decide what units to use based on 1000 as a threshold, not 1024 (in other words, always print at most 3 digits before the decimal point).

2017-09-06bcache: increase the number of open bucketsTang Junhui1-1/+3
In currently, we only alloc 6 open buckets for each cache set, but in usually, we always attach about 10 or so backend devices for each cache set, and the each bcache device are always accessed by about 10 or so threads in top application layer. So 6 open buckets are too few, It has led to that each of the same thread write data to different buckets, which would cause low efficiency write-back, and also cause buckets inefficient, and would be Very easy to run out of. I add debug message in bch_open_buckets_alloc() to print alloc bucket info, and test with ten bcache devices with a cache set, and each bcache device is accessed by ten threads. From the debug message, we can see that, after the modification, One bucket is more likely to assign to the same thread, and the data from the same thread are more likely to write the same bucket. Usually the same thread always write/read the same backend device, so it is good for write-back and also promote the usage efficiency of buckets.

2017-09-06bcache: correct cache_dirty_target in __update_writeback_rate()Tang Junhui2-1/+21
__update_write_rate() uses a Proportion-Differentiation Controller algorithm to control writeback rate. A dirty target number is used in this PD controller to control writeback rate. A larger target number will make the writeback rate smaller, on the versus, a smaller target number will make the writeback rate larger. bcache uses the following steps to calculate the target number, 1) cache_sectors = all-buckets-of-cache-set * buckets-size 2) cache_dirty_target = cache_sectors * cached-device-writeback_percent 3) target = cache_dirty_target * (sectors-of-cached-device/sectors-of-all-cached-devices-of-this-cache-set) The calculation at step 1) for cache_sectors is incorrect, which does not consider dirty blocks occupied by flash only volume. A flash only volume can be took as a bcache device without cached device. All data sectors allocated for it are persistent on cache device and marked dirty, they are not touched by bcache writeback and garbage collection code. So data blocks of flash only volume should be ignore when calculating cache_sectors of cache set. Current code does not subtract dirty sectors of flash only volume, which results a larger target number from the above 3 steps. And in sequence the cache device's writeback rate is smaller then a correct value, writeback speed is slower on all cached devices. This patch fixes the incorrect slower writeback rate by subtracting dirty sectors of flash only volumes in __update_writeback_rate().

2017-08-23block: replace bi_bdev with a gendisk pointer and partitions indexChristoph Hellwig6-19/+18
This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code). For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists once per block device. But given that the block layer also does partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is used for said remapping in generic_make_request. Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all over the stack.

The 'real' queue is the wait queue head, which had to carry the name. Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'.

This includes fs_bio_set, blkdev_dio_pool, btrfs_bioset, xfs_ioend_bioset, and one allocated by target_core_iblock.c. biosets used by md/raid do not need rescuing as their usage was recently audited and revised to never risk deadlock.

2017-05-09treewide: use kv[mz]alloc* rather than opencoded variantsMichal Hocko1-10/+2
There are many code paths opencoding kvmalloc. Let's use the helper instead. The main difference to kvmalloc is that those users are usually not considering all the aspects of the memory allocator. E.g. allocation requests <= 32kB (with 4kB pages) are basically never failing and invoke OOM killer to satisfy the allocation. This sounds too disruptive for something that has a reasonable fallback - the vmalloc. On the other hand those requests might fallback to vmalloc even when the memory allocator would succeed after several more reclaim/compaction attempts previously. There is no guarantee something like that happens though. This patch converts many of those places to kv[mz]alloc* helpers because they are more conservative.
