* dm crypt: use unbound workqueue for request processingMikulas Patocka2015-02-16
| | | | | | | | | | Use unbound workqueue by default so that work is automatically balanced between available CPUs. The original behavior of encrypting using the same cpu that IO was submitted on can still be enabled by setting the optional 'same_cpu_crypt' table argument.

* dm io: reject unsupported DISCARD requests with EOPNOTSUPPDarrick J. Wong2015-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I created a dm-raid1 device backed by a device that supports DISCARD and another device that does NOT support DISCARD with the following dm configuration: # echo '0 2048 mirror core 1 512 2 /dev/sda 0 /dev/sdb 0' | dmsetup create moo # lsblk -D NAME DISC-ALN DISC-GRAN DISC-MAX DISC-ZERO sda 0 4K 1G 0 `-moo (dm-0) 0 4K 1G 0 sdb 0 0B 0B 0 `-moo (dm-0) 0 4K 1G 0 Notice that the mirror device /dev/mapper/moo advertises DISCARD support even though one of the mirror halves doesn't. If I issue a DISCARD request (via fstrim, mount -o discard, or ioctl BLKDISCARD) through the mirror, kmirrord gets stuck in an infinite loop in do_region() when it tries to issue a DISCARD request to sdb. The problem is that when we call do_region() against sdb, num_sectors is set to zero because q->limits.max_discard_sectors is zero. Therefore, "remaining" never decreases and the loop never terminates. To fix this: before entering the loop, check for the combination of REQ_DISCARD and no discard and return -EOPNOTSUPP to avoid hanging up the mirror device. This bug was found by the unfortunate coincidence of pvmove and a discard operation in the RHEL 6.5 kernel; upstream is also affected. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

* dm mirror: do not degrade the mirror on discard errorMikulas Patocka2015-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It may be possible that a device claims discard support but it rejects discards with -EOPNOTSUPP. It happens when using loopback on ext2/ext3 filesystem driven by the ext4 driver. It may also happen if the underlying devices are moved from one disk on another. If discard error happens, we reject the bio with -EOPNOTSUPP, but we do not degrade the array. This patch fixes failed test shell/lvconvert-repair-transient.sh in the lvm2 testsuite if the testsuite is extracted on an ext2 or ext3 filesystem and it is being driven by the ext4 driver.

* dm space map disk: fix sm_disk_count_is_more_than_one()Mike Snitzer2015-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | dm_tm_shadow_block() is the only caller of dm_sm_count_is_more_than_one() which only ever operates on a metadata space-map. So in practice, sm_disk_count_is_more_than_one() isn't actually used (which explains why this bug never amounted to anything). But fix sm_disk_count_is_more_than_one() to properly set *result and return 0. Reported-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

This blk-mq support changes the model request-based DM uses for cloning a request to relying on calling blk_get_request() directly from the underlying blk-mq device. An early consumer of this code is Intel's emerging NVMe hardware; thanks to Keith Busch for working on, and pushing for, these changes. - A few other small fixes and cleanups across other DM targets. * tag 'dm-3.20-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: dm: inherit QUEUE_FLAG_SG_GAPS flags from underlying queues dm snapshot: remove unnecessary NULL checks before vfree() calls dm mpath: simplify failure path of dm_multipath_init() dm thin metadata: remove unused dm_pool_get_data_block_size() dm ioctl: fix stale comment above dm_get_inactive_table() dm crypt: update url in CONFIG_DM_CRYPT help text dm bufio: fix time comparison to use time_after_eq() dm: use time_in_range() and time_after() dm raid: fix a couple integer overflows dm table: train hybrid target type detection to select blk-mq if appropriate dm: allocate requests in target when stacking on blk-mq devices dm: prepare for allocating blk-mq clone requests in target dm: submit stacked requests in irq enabled context dm: split request structure out from dm_rq_target_io structure dm: remove exports for request-based interfaces without external callers

| * dm: allocate requests in target when stacking on blk-mq devicesMike Snitzer2015-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| * dm: submit stacked requests in irq enabled contextKeith Busch2015-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Switch to having request-based DM enqueue all prep'ed requests into work processed by another thread. This allows request-based DM to invoke block APIs that assume interrupt enabled context (e.g. blk_get_request) and is a prerequisite for adding blk-mq support to request-based DM. The new kernel thread is only initialized for request-based DM devices. multipath_map() is now always in irq enabled context so change multipath spinlock (m->lock) locking to always disable interrupts.

| * dm: split request structure out from dm_rq_target_io structureMike Snitzer2015-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Request-based DM support for blk-mq devices requires that dm_rq_target_io structures not be allocated with an embedded request structure. The request-based DM target (e.g. dm-multipath) must allocate the request from the blk-mq devices' request_queue using blk_get_request(). The unfortunate side-effect of this change is old-style request-based DM support will no longer use contiguous memory for the dm_rq_target_io and request structures for each clone.

And if we switch to blk-mq, tag is build-in. It's time to switch to generic taging. The SAS driver has its own tag management, and looks we can't directly map the host controler tag to SATA tag. So I just bypassed the SAS case. I changed the code/variable name for the tag management of libata to make it self contained. Only sas will use it. Later if libsas implements its tag management, the tag management code in libata can be deleted easily.

The call to blk_queue_physical_block_size() is harmless and will not affect the Kernel behavior in any way. It is only for communication to user-mode. before this patch running fdisk on a default size brd of 4M the first sector offered is 34 (BAD), but after this patch it will be 40, ie 8 sectors aligned. Also when entering some random partition sizes the next partition-start sector is offered 8 sectors aligned after this patch. (Please note that with fdisk the user can still enter bad values, only the offered default values will be correct) Note that with bdev-size > 4M fdisk will try to align on a 1M boundary (above first-sector will be 2048), in any case.

The MAIN fix here is that currently, if one fdisks some partitions, a BAD bug will make all partitions point to the same start-end sector ie: 0 - brd_size And an mkfs of any partition would trash the partition table and the other partition. Another fix is that "mount -U uuid" will not work if show_part was not specified, because of the GENHD_FL_SUPPRESS_PARTITION_INFO flag. We now always load without it and remove the show_part parameter. [We remove Dmitry's new module-param part_show it is now always show] So NOW the logic goes like this: * max_part - Just says how many minors to reserve between ramX devices. In any way, there can be as many partition as requested. If minors between devices ends, then dynamic 259-major ids will be allocated on the fly. The default is now max_part=1, which means all partitions devt(s) will be from the dynamic (259) major-range. (If persistent partition minors is needed use max_part=X) For example with /dev/sdX max_part is hard coded 16. * Creation of new devices on the fly still/always work: mknod /path/devnod b 1 X fdisk -l /path/devnod Will create a new device if [X / max_part] was not already created before. (Just as before) partitions on the dynamically created device will work as well Same logic applies with minors as with the pre-created ones. TODO: dynamic grow of device size. So each device can have it's own size.

| * | | | block: loop: improve performance via blk-mqMing Lei2015-01-02

Given write requests over same file are often run exclusively, so don't handle them concurrently for avoiding extra context switch cost, possible lock contention and work schedule cost. Also with blk-mq, there is opportunity to get loop I/O merged before submitting to backend file/device. In the following test: - base: v3.19-rc2-2041231 - loop over file in ext4 file system on SSD disk - bs: 4k, libaio, io depth: 64, O_DIRECT, num of jobs: 1 - throughput: IOPS ------------------------------------------------------ | | base | base with loop-mq | delta | ------------------------------------------------------ | randread | 1740 | 25318 | +1355%| ------------------------------------------------------ | read | 42196 | 51771 | +22.6%| ----------------------------------------------------- | randwrite | 35709 | 34624 | -3% | ----------------------------------------------------- | write | 39137 | 40326 | +3% | ----------------------------------------------------- So loop-mq can improve throughput for both read and randread, meantime, performance of write and randwrite isn't hurted basically. Another benefit is that loop driver code gets simplified much after blk-mq conversion, and the patch can be thought as cleanup too.
