2015-11-01dm: add support for passing through persistent reservationsChristoph Hellwig1-2/+2
This adds support to pass through persistent reservation requests similar to the existing ioctl handling, and with the same limitations, e.g. devices may only have a single target attached. This is mostly intended for multipathing. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>
2015-08-19dm stats: report precise_timestamps and histogram in @stats_list outputMikulas Patocka1-2/+2
If the user selected the precise_timestamps or histogram options, report it in the @stats_list message output. If the user didn't select these options, no extra tokens are reported, thus it is backward compatible with old software that doesn't know about precise timestamps and histogram.

2015-04-15dm: add full blk-mq support to request-based DMMike Snitzer1-2/+2
Commit e5863d9ad ("dm: allocate requests in target when stacking on blk-mq devices") served as the first step toward fully utilizing blk-mq in request-based DM -- it enabled stacking an old-style (request_fn) request_queue ontop of the underlying blk-mq device(s). That first step didn't improve performance of DM multipath ontop of fast blk-mq devices (e.g. NVMe) because the top-level old-style request_queue was severely limited by the queue_lock. The second step offered here enables stacking a blk-mq request_queue ontop of the underlying blk-mq device(s). This unlocks significant performance gains on fast blk-mq devices, Keith Busch tested on his NVMe testbed and offered this really positive news: "Just providing a performance update. All my fio tests are getting roughly equal performance whether accessed through the raw block device or the multipath device mapper (~470k IOPS). I could only push ~20% of the raw iops through dm before this conversion, so this latest tree is looking really solid from a performance standpoint."

2015-02-09dm: allocate requests in target when stacking on blk-mq devicesMike Snitzer1-2/+2
For blk-mq request-based DM the responsibility of allocating a cloned request is transfered from DM core to the target type. Doing so enables the cloned request to be allocated from the appropriate blk-mq request_queue's pool (only the DM target, e.g. multipath, can know which block device to send a given cloned request to). Care was taken to preserve compatibility with old-style block request completion that requires request-based DM _not_ acquire the clone request's queue lock in the completion path. As such, there are now 2 different request-based DM target_type interfaces: 1) the original .map_rq() interface will continue to be used for non-blk-mq devices -- the preallocated clone request is passed in from DM core. 2) a new .clone_and_map_rq() and .release_clone_rq() will be used for blk-mq devices -- blk_get_request() and blk_put_request() are used respectively from these hooks. dm_table_set_type() was updated to detect if the request-based target is being stacked on blk-mq devices, if so DM_TYPE_MQ_REQUEST_BASED is set. DM core disallows switching the DM table's type after it is set. This means that there is no mixing of non-blk-mq and blk-mq devices within the same request-based DM table.

2014-11-19dm: enhance internal suspend and resume interfaceMike Snitzer1-0/+5
Rename dm_internal_{suspend,resume} to dm_internal_{suspend,resume}_fast -- dm-stats will continue using these methods to avoid all the extra suspend/resume logic that is not needed in order to quickly flush IO. Introduce dm_internal_suspend_noflush() variant that actually calls the mapped_device's target callbacks -- otherwise target-specific hooks are avoided (e.g. dm-thin's thin_presuspend and thin_postsuspend). Common code between dm_internal_{suspend_noflush,resume} and dm_{suspend,resume} was factored out as __dm_{suspend,resume}. Update dm_internal_{suspend_noflush,resume} to always take and release the mapped_device's suspend_lock. Also update dm_{suspend,resume} to be aware of potential for DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG to be set and respond accordingly by interruptibly waiting for the DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG to be cleared. Add lockdep annotation to dm_suspend() and dm_resume(). The existing DM_SUSPEND_FLAG remains unchanged. DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG is set by dm_internal_suspend_noflush() and cleared by dm_internal_resume(). Both DM_SUSPEND_FLAG and DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG may be set if a device was already suspended when dm_internal_suspend_noflush() was called -- this can be thought of as a "nested suspend". A "nested suspend" can occur with legacy userspace dm-thin code that might suspend all active thin volumes before suspending the pool for resize. But otherwise, in the normal dm-thin-pool suspend case moving forward: the thin-pool will have DM_SUSPEND_FLAG set and all active thins from that thin-pool will have DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG set. Also add DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG to status report. This new DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG state is being reported to assist with debugging (e.g. 'dmsetup info' will report an internally suspended device accordingly).

2014-11-19dm: add presuspend_undo hook to target_typeMike Snitzer1-2/+2

2014-10-06dm: allow active and inactive tables to share dm_devsBenjamin Marzinski1-2/+2
Until this change, when loading a new DM table, DM core would re-open all of the devices in the DM table. Now, DM core will avoid redundant device opens (and closes when destroying the old table) if the old table already has a device open using the same mode. This is achieved by managing reference counts on the table_devices that DM core now stores in the mapped_device structure (rather than in the dm_table structure). So a mapped_device's active and inactive dm_tables' dm_dev lists now just point to the dm_devs stored in the mapped_device's table_devices list. This improvement in DM core's device reference counting has the side-effect of fixing a long-standing limitation of the multipath target: a DM multipath table couldn't include any paths that were unusable (failed). For example: if all paths have failed and you add a new, working, path to the table; you can't use it since the table load would fail due to it still containing failed paths. Now a re-load of a multipath table can include failed devices and when those devices become active again they can be used instantly. The device list code in dm.c isn't a straight copy/paste from the code in dm-table.c, but it's very close (aside from some variable renames). One subtle difference is that find_table_device for the tables_devices list will only match devices with the same name and mode. This is because we don't want to upgrade a device's mode in the active table when an inactive table is loaded. Access to the mapped_device structure's tables_devices list requires a mutex (tables_devices_lock), so that tables cannot be created and destroyed concurrently.

2013-11-10dm: allow remove to be deferredMikulas Patocka1-2/+13
This patch allows the removal of an open device to be deferred until it is closed. (Previously such a removal attempt would fail.) The deferred remove functionality is enabled by setting the flag DM_DEFERRED_REMOVE in the ioctl structure on DM_DEV_REMOVE or DM_REMOVE_ALL ioctl. On return from DM_DEV_REMOVE, the flag DM_DEFERRED_REMOVE indicates if the device was removed immediately or flagged to be removed on close - if the flag is clear, the device was removed. On return from DM_DEV_STATUS and other ioctls, the flag DM_DEFERRED_REMOVE is set if the device is scheduled to be removed on closure. A device that is scheduled to be deleted can be revived using the message "@cancel_deferred_remove". This message clears the DMF_DEFERRED_REMOVE flag so that the device won't be deleted on close.

2013-09-06dm: add statistics supportMikulas Patocka1-2/+2
Support the collection of I/O statistics on user-defined regions of a DM device. If no regions are defined no statistics are collected so there isn't any performance impact. Only bio-based DM devices are currently supported. Each user-defined region specifies a starting sector, length and step. Individual statistics will be collected for each step-sized area within the range specified. The I/O statistics counters for each step-sized area of a region are in the same format as /sys/block/*/stat or /proc/diskstats but extra counters (12 and 13) are provided: total time spent reading and writing in milliseconds. All these counters may be accessed by sending the @stats_print message to the appropriate DM device via dmsetup. The creation of DM statistics will allocate memory via kmalloc or fallback to using vmalloc space. At most, 1/4 of the overall system memory may be allocated by DM statistics. The admin can see how much memory is used by reading /sys/module/dm_mod/parameters/stats_current_allocated_bytes See Documentation/device-mapper/statistics.txt for more details.

2013-07-11dm: optimize use SRCU and RCUMikulas Patocka1-2/+2
This patch removes "io_lock" and "map_lock" in struct mapped_device and "holders" in struct dm_table and replaces these mechanisms with sleepable-rcu. Previously, the code would call "dm_get_live_table" and "dm_table_put" to get and release table. Now, the code is changed to call "dm_get_live_table" and "dm_put_live_table". dm_get_live_table locks sleepable-rcu and dm_put_live_table unlocks it. dm_get_live_table_fast/dm_put_live_table_fast can be used instead of dm_get_live_table/dm_put_live_table. These *_fast functions use non-sleepable RCU, so the caller must not block between them. If the code changes active or inactive dm table, it must call dm_sync_table before destroying the old table.

2013-03-02dm ioctl: allow message to return dataMikulas Patocka1-0/+5
This patch introduces enhanced message support that allows the device-mapper core to recognise messages that are common to all devices, and for messages to return data to userspace. Core messages are processed by the function "message_for_md". If the device mapper doesn't support the message, it is passed to the target driver. If the message returns data, the kernel sets the flag DM_MESSAGE_OUT_FLAG. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
2013-03-02dm ioctl: optimize functions without variable paramsMikulas Patocka1-3/+3
Device-mapper ioctls receive and send data in a buffer supplied by userspace. The buffer has two parts. The first part contains a 'struct dm_ioctl' and has a fixed size. The second part depends on the ioctl and has a variable size. This patch recognises the specific ioctls that do not use the variable part of the buffer and skips allocating memory for it. In particular, when a device is suspended and a resume ioctl is sent, this now avoid memory allocation completely. The variable "struct dm_ioctl tmp" is moved from the function copy_params to its caller ctl_ioctl and renamed to param_kernel. It is used directly when the ioctl function doesn't need any arguments.
