* dm raid1: kcopyd should stop on error if errors handledJonathan Brassow2008-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | dm-raid1 is setting the 'DM_KCOPYD_IGNORE_ERROR' flag unconditionally when assigning kcopyd work. kcopyd is responsible for copying an assigned section of disk to one or more other disks. The 'DM_KCOPYD_IGNORE_ERROR' flag affects kcopyd in the following way: When not set: kcopyd will immediately stop the copy operation when an error is encountered. When set: kcopyd will try to proceed regardless of errors and try to continue copying any remaining amount. Since dm-raid1 tracks regions of the address space that are (or are not) in sync and it now has the ability to handle these errors, we can safely enable this optimization. This optimization is conditional on whether mirror error handling has been enabled. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Brassow <jbrassow@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
* dm: unplug queues in threadsMikulas Patocka2008-04-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove an avoidable 3ms delay on some dm-raid1 and kcopyd I/O. It is specified that any submitted bio without BIO_RW_SYNC flag may plug the queue (i.e. block the requests from being dispatched to the physical device). The queue is unplugged when the caller calls blk_unplug() function. Usually, the sequence is that someone calls submit_bh to submit IO on a buffer. The IO plugs the queue and waits (to be possibly joined with other adjacent bios). Then, when the caller calls wait_on_buffer(), it unplugs the queue and submits the IOs to the disk. This was happenning: When doing O_SYNC writes, function fsync_buffers_list() submits a list of bios to dm_raid1, the bios are added to dm_raid1 write queue and kmirrord is woken up. fsync_buffers_list() calls wait_on_buffer(). That unplugs the queue, but there are no bios on the device queue as they are still in the dm_raid1 queue. wait_on_buffer() starts waiting until the IO is finished. kmirrord is scheduled, kmirrord takes bios and submits them to the devices. The submitted bio plugs the harddisk queue but there is no one to unplug it. (The process that called wait_on_buffer() is already sleeping.) So there is a 3ms timeout, after which the queues on the harddisks are unplugged and requests are processed. This 3ms timeout meant that in certain workloads (e.g. O_SYNC, 8kb writes), dm-raid1 is 10 times slower than md raid1. Every time we submit something asynchronously via dm_io, we must unplug the queue actually to send the request to the device. This patch adds an unplug call to kmirrord - while processing requests, it keeps the queue plugged (so that adjacent bios can be merged); when it finishes processing all the bios, it unplugs the queue to submit the bios. It also fixes kcopyd which has the same potential problem. All kcopyd requests are submitted with BIO_RW_SYNC.

* dm raid1: use timerMikulas Patocka2008-04-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch replaces the schedule() in the main kmirrord thread with a timer. The schedule() could introduce an unwanted delay when work is ready to be processed. The code instead calls wake() when there's work to be done immediately, and delayed_wake() after a failure to give a short delay before retrying.

* dm raid1: report fault statusJonathan Brassow2008-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds extra information to the mirror status output, so that it can be determined which device(s) have failed. For each mirror device, a character is printed indicating the most severe error encountered. The characters are: * A => Alive - No failures * D => Dead - A write failure occurred leaving mirror out-of-sync * S => Sync - A sychronization failure occurred, mirror out-of-sync * R => Read - A read failure occurred, mirror data unaffected This allows userspace to properly reconfigure the mirror set.

* dm raid1: handle read failuresJonathan Brassow2008-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch gives the ability to respond-to/record device failures that happen during read operations. It also adds the ability to read from mirror devices that are not the primary if they are in-sync. There are essentially two read paths in mirroring; the direct path and the queued path. When a read request is mapped, if the region is 'in-sync' the direct path is taken; otherwise the queued path is taken. If the direct path is taken, we must record bio information so that if the read fails we can retry it. We then discover the status of a direct read through mirror_end_io. If the read has failed, we will mark the device from which the read was attempted as failed (so we don't try to read from it again), restore the bio and try again. If the queued path is taken, we discover the results of the read from 'read_callback'. If the device failed, we will mark the device as failed and attempt the read again if there is another device where this region is known to be 'in-sync'.

* dm raid1: fix EIO after log failureJonathan Brassow2008-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the ability to requeue write I/O to core device-mapper when there is a log device failure. If a write to the log produces and error, the pending writes are put on the "failures" list. Since the log is marked as failed, they will stay on the failures list until a suspend happens. Suspends come in two phases, presuspend and postsuspend. We must make sure that all the writes on the failures list are requeued in the presuspend phase (a requirement of dm core). This means that recovery must be complete (because writes may be delayed behind it) and the failures list must be requeued before we return from presuspend. The mechanisms to ensure recovery is complete (or stopped) was already in place, but needed to be moved from postsuspend to presuspend. We rely on 'flush_workqueue' to ensure that the mirror thread is complete and therefore, has requeued all writes in the failures list. Because we are using flush_workqueue, we must ensure that no additional 'queue_work' calls will produce additional I/O that we need to requeue (because once we return from presuspend, we are unable to do anything about it). 'queue_work' is called in response to the following functions: - complete_resync_work = NA, recovery is stopped - rh_dec (mirror_end_io) = NA, only calls 'queue_work' if it is ready to recover the region (recovery is stopped) or it needs to clear the region in the log* **this doesn't get called while suspending** - rh_recovery_end = NA, recovery is stopped - rh_recovery_start = NA, recovery is stopped - write_callback = 1) Writes w/o failures simply call bio_endio -> mirror_end_io -> rh_dec (see rh_dec above) 2) Writes with failures are put on the failures list and queue_work is called** ** write_callbacks don't happen during suspend ** - do_failures = NA, 'queue_work' not called if suspending - add_mirror (initialization) = NA, only done on mirror creation - queue_bio = NA, 1) delayed I/O scheduled before flush_workqueue is called. 2) No more I/Os are being issued. 3) Re-attempted READs can still be handled. (Write completions are handled through rh_dec/ write_callback - mention above - and do not use queue_bio.)

* dm raid1: handle write failuresJonathan Brassow2008-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch gives mirror the ability to handle device failures during normal write operations. The 'write_callback' function is called when a write completes. If all the writes failed or succeeded, we report failure or success respectively. If some of the writes failed, we call fail_mirror; which increments the error count for the device, notes the type of error encountered (DM_RAID1_WRITE_ERROR), and selects a new primary (if necessary). Note that the primary device can never change while the mirror is not in-sync (IOW, while recovery is happening.) This means that the scenario where a failed write changes the primary and gives recovery_complete a chance to misread the primary never happens. The fact that the primary can change has necessitated the change to the default_mirror field. We need to protect against reading garbage while the primary changes. We then add the bio to a new list in the mirror set, 'failures'. For every bio in the 'failures' list, we call a new function, '__bio_mark_nosync', where we mark the region 'not-in-sync' in the log and properly set the region state as, RH_NOSYNC. Userspace must also be notified of the failure. This is done by 'raising an event' (dm_table_event()). If fail_mirror is called in process context the event can be raised right away. If in interrupt context, the event is deferred to the kmirrord thread - which raises the event if 'event_waiting' is set. Backwards compatibility is maintained by ignoring errors if the DM_FEATURES_HANDLE_ERRORS flag is not present.

* dm raid1: handle log failureJonathan Brassow2007-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When writing to a mirror, the log must be updated first. Failure to update the log could result in the log not properly reflecting the state of the mirror if the machine should crash. We change the return type of the rh_flush function to give us the ability to check if a log write was successful. If the log write was unsuccessful, we fail the writes to avoid the case where the log does not properly reflect the state of the mirror. A follow-up patch - which is dependent on the ability to requeue I/O's to core device-mapper - will requeue the I/O's for retry (allowing the mirror to be reconfigured.)

* dm raid1: handle resync failuresJonathan Brassow2007-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Device-mapper mirroring currently takes a best effort approach to recovery - failures during mirror synchronization are completely ignored. This means that regions are marked 'in-sync' and 'clean' and removed from the hash list. Future reads and writes that query the region will incorrectly interpret the region as in-sync. This patch handles failures during the recovery process. If a failure occurs, the region is marked as 'not-in-sync' (aka RH_NOSYNC) and added to a new list 'failed_recovered_regions'. Regions on the 'failed_recovered_regions' list are not marked as 'clean' upon removal from the list. Furthermore, if the DM_RAID1_HANDLE_ERRORS flag is set, the region is marked as 'not-in-sync'. This action prevents any future read-balancing from choosing an invalid device because of the 'not-in-sync' status. If "handle_errors" is not specified when creating a mirror (leaving the DM_RAID1_HANDLE_ERRORS flag unset), failures will be ignored exactly as they would be without this patch. This is to preserve backwards compatibility with user-space tools, such as 'pvmove'. However, since future read-balancing policies will rely on the correct sync status of a region, a user must choose "handle_errors" when using read-balancing.

* dm raid1: clear region outside spinlockJonathan Brassow2007-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A clear_region function is permitted to block (in practice, rare) but gets called in rh_update_states() with a spinlock held. The bits being marked and cleared by the above functions are used to update the on-disk log, but are never read directly. We can perform these operations outside the spinlock since the bits are only changed within one thread viz. - mark_region in rh_inc() - clear_region in rh_update_states(). So, we grab the clean_regions list items via list_splice() within the spinlock and defer clear_region() until we iterate over the list for deletion - similar to how the recovered_regions list is already handled. We then move the flush() call down to ensure it encapsulates the changes which are done by the later calls to clear_region().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On an nForce4-equipped machine with two SATA disk in raid1 setup using dmraid, we experienced frequent deadlock of the system under high i/o load. 'cat /dev/zero > ~/zero' was the most reliable way to reproduce them: Randomly after a few GB, 'cp' would be left in 'D' state along with kjournald and kmirrord. The functions cp and kjournald were blocked in did vary, but kmirrord's wchan always pointed to 'mempool_alloc()'. We've seen this pattern on 2.6.15 and 2.6.17 kernels. http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/4/20/142 indicates that this problem has been around even before. So much for the facts, here's my interpretation: mempool_alloc() first tries to atomically allocate the requested memory, or falls back to hand out preallocated chunks from the mempool. If both fail, it puts the calling process (kmirrord in this case) on a private waitqueue until somebody refills the pool. Where the only 'somebody' is kmirrord itself, so we have a deadlock. I worked around this problem by falling back to a (blocking) kmalloc when before kmirrord would have ended up on the waitqueue. This defeats part of the benefits of using the mempool, but at least keeps the system running. And it could be done with a two-line change. Note that mempool_alloc() clears the GFP_NOIO flag internally, and only uses it to decide whether to wait or return an error if immediate allocation fails, so the attached patch doesn't change behaviour in the non-deadlocking case. Path is against current git (2.6.18-rc4), but should apply to earlier versions as well. I've tested on 2.6.15, where this patch makes the difference between random lockup and a stable system.

* [PATCH] dm mirror log: sector size fixKevin Corry2006-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On-disk logs for dm-mirror devices are currently hard-coded to use 512 byte hard-sector-sizes. This patch fixes dm-log so it will work with devices with non-512-byte hard-sector-sizes. To maintain full compatibility, instead of moving the clean-bits bitset to a bitset, and enlarges the disk-header buffer to encompass both the header and the bitset. The I/O routines for the bitset are removed, and the I/O routines for the disk-header now also read/write the bitset.

* [PATCH] dm: mirror sector offset fixNeil Brown2006-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The device-mapper core does not perform any remapping of bios before passing them to the targets. If a particular mapping begins part-way into a device, targets obtain the sector relative to the start of the mapping by subtracting ti->begin. The dm-raid1 target didn't do this everywhere: this patch fixes it, taking care to subtract ti->begin exactly once for each bio.

* [PATCH] dm: remove SECTOR_FORMATAndrew Morton2006-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | We don't know what type sector_t has. Sometimes it's unsigned long, sometimes it's unsigned long long. For example on ppc64 it's unsigned long with CONFIG_LBD=n and on x86_64 it's unsigned long long with CONFIG_LBD=n. The way to handle all of this is to always use unsigned long long and to always typecast the sector_t when printing it.

* [PATCH] drivers/md/dm-raid1.c: Fix inconsistent mirroring after interrupted ↵Jun'ichi Nomura2006-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | recovery dm-mirror has potential data corruption problem: while on-disk log shows that all disk contents are in-sync, actual contents of the disks are not synchronized. This problem occurs if initial recovery (synching) is interrupted and resumed. Attached patch fixes this problem. Background: rh_dec() changes the region state from RH_NOSYNC (out-of-sync) to RH_CLEAN (in-sync), which results in the corresponding bit of clean_bits being set. This is harmful if on-disk log is used and the map is removed/suspended before the initial sync is completed. The clean_bits is written down to the on-disk log at the map removal, and, upon resume, it's read and copied to sync_bits. Since the recovery process refers to the sync_bits to find a region to be recovered, the region whose state was changed from RH_NOSYNC to RH_CLEAN is no longer recovered. If you haven't applied dm-raid1-read-balancing.patch proposed in dm-devel sometimes ago, the contents of the mirrored disk just corrupt silently. If you have, balanced read may get bogus data from out-of-sync disks. The patch keeps RH_NOSYNC state unchanged. It will be changed to RH_RECOVERING when recovery starts and get reclaimed when the recovery completes. So it doesn't leak the region hash entry.

Alasdair said: I've analysed the relevant part of the state machine and I believe that the patch is correct. (Further work on this code is still needed - this patch has the side-effect of holding onto memory unnecessarily for long periods of time under certain workloads - but better that than corrupting data.)

It is set to RH_DIRTY in rh_inc, but not if it is already so. The changes to 'pending', the state, and the region's inclusion in the clean list need to be atomicly.
