* dm snapshot: skip reading origin when overwriting complete chunkMikulas Patocka2011-08-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we write a full chunk in the snapshot, skip reading the origin device because the whole chunk will be overwritten anyway. This patch changes the snapshot write logic when a full chunk is written. In this case: 1. allocate the exception 2. dispatch the bio (but don't report the bio completion to device mapper) 3. write the exception record 4. report bio completed Callbacks must be done through the kcopyd thread, because callbacks must not race with each other. So we create two new functions: dm_kcopyd_prepare_callback: allocate a job structure and prepare the callback. (This function must not be called from interrupt context.) dm_kcopyd_do_callback: submit callback. (This function may be called from interrupt context.) Performance test (on snapshots with 4k chunk size): without the patch: non-direct-io sequential write (dd): 17.7MB/s direct-io sequential write (dd): 20.9MB/s non-direct-io random write (mkfs.ext2): 0.44s with the patch: non-direct-io sequential write (dd): 26.5MB/s direct-io sequential write (dd): 33.2MB/s non-direct-io random write (mkfs.ext2): 0.27s Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>

* dm: fix opening log and cow devices for read only tablesMilan Broz2011-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a table is read-only, also open any log and cow devices it uses read-only. Previously, even read-only devices were opened read-write internally. After patch 75f1dc0d076d1c1168f2115f1941ea627d38bd5a block: check bdev_read_only() from blkdev_get() was applied, loading such tables began to fail. The patch was reverted by e51900f7d38cbcfb481d84567fd92540e7e1d23a block: revert block_dev read-only check but this patch fixes this part of the code to work with the original patch.

This replaces one array wide cache flush w/ member specific FUA writes. * __split_and_process_bio() now calls __clone_and_map_flush() directly for flushes and guarantees all FLUSH bio's going to targets are zero ` length. * It's now guaranteed that all FLUSH bio's which are passed onto dm targets are zero length. bio_empty_barrier() tests are replaced with REQ_FLUSH tests. * Empty WRITE_BARRIERs are replaced with WRITE_FLUSHes. * Dropped unlikely() around REQ_FLUSH tests. Flushes are not unlikely enough to be marked with unlikely(). * Block layer now filters out REQ_FLUSH/FUA bio's if the request_queue doesn't support cache flushing. Advertise REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA capability. * Request based dm isn't converted yet. dm_init_request_based_queue() resets flush support to 0 for now. To avoid disturbing request based dm code, dm->flush_error is added for bio based dm while requested based dm continues to use dm->barrier_error. Lightly tested linear, stripe, raid1, snap and crypt targets. Please proceed with caution as I'm not familiar with the code base.

* dm snapshot: implement mergeMikulas Patocka2010-08-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement merge method for the snapshot origin to improve read performance. Without merge method, dm asks the upper layers to submit smallest possible bios --- one page. Submitting such small bios impacts performance negatively when reading or writing the origin device. Without this patch, CPU consumption when reading the origin on lvm on md-raid0 was 6 to 12%, with this patch, it drops to 1 to 4%. Note: in my testing, it actually degraded performance in some settings, I traced it to Maxtor disks having problems with > 512-sector requests. Reducing the number of sectors to /sys/block/sd*/queue/max_sectors_kb to 256 fixed the read performance. I think we don't have to care about weird disks that actually degrade performance because of large requests being sent to them.

Thus, snapshot_iterate_devices should call the callback for both snapshot and origin underlying devices because it remaps some bios to the snapshot and some to the origin. snapshot_iterate_devices called the callback only for the origin device.

* dm snapshot: merge consecutive chunks togetherMike Snitzer2009-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | s->store->type->prepare_merge returns the number of chunks that can be copied linearly working backwards from the returned chunk number. For example, if it returns 3 chunks with old_chunk == 10 and new_chunk == 20, then chunk 20 can be copied to 10, chunk 19 to 9 and 18 to 8. Until now kcopyd only copied one chunk at a time. This patch now copies the full set at once. Consequently, snapshot_merge_process() needs to delay the merging of all chunks if any have writes in progress, not just the first chunk in the region that is to be merged. snapshot-merge's performance is now comparable to the original snapshot-origin target.

This patch introduces the snapshot-merge mapping function and updates __origin_write() so that it doesn't allocate exceptions on any snapshots that are being merged. If a write request to a merging snapshot device is to be dispatched directly to the origin (because the chunk is not remapped or was already merged), snapshot_merge_map() must make exceptions in other snapshots so calls do_origin().

* dm snapshot: rework writing to originMikulas Patocka2009-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To track the completion of exceptions relating to the same location on the device, the current code selects one exception as primary_pe, links the other exceptions to it and uses reference counting to wait until all the reallocations are complete. It is considered too complicated to extend this code to handle the new snapshot-merge target, where sets of non-overlapping chunks would also need to become linked. Instead, a simpler (but less efficient) approach is taken. Bios are linked to one exception. When it completes, bios are simply retried, and if other related exceptions are still outstanding, they'll get queued again to wait for another one.

This is a pre-requisite for patches that allow the changes made in a snapshot device to be merged back into its origin device and also allows device resizing. The basic call sequence is: dmsetup load new_snapshot (referencing the existing in-use cow device) - the ctr code detects that the cow is already in use and allows the two snapshot target instances to be linked together dmsetup suspend original_snapshot dmsetup resume new_snapshot - the new_snapshot becomes live, and if anything now tries to access the original one it will receive -EIO dmsetup remove original_snapshot (There can only be two snapshot targets referencing the same cow device simultaneously.)

* dm snapshot: sort by chunk size to fix raceMikulas Patocka2009-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Avoid a race causing corruption when snapshots of the same origin have different chunk sizes by sorting the internal list of snapshots by chunk size, largest first. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=182659 For example, let's have two snapshots with different chunk sizes. The first snapshot (1) has small chunk size and the second snapshot (2) has large chunk size. Let's have chunks A, B, C in these snapshots: snapshot1: ====A==== ====B==== snapshot2: ==========C========== (Chunk size is a power of 2. Chunks are aligned.) A write to the origin at a position within A and C comes along. It triggers reallocation of A, then reallocation of C and links them together using A as the 'primary' exception. Then another write to the origin comes along at a position within B and C. It creates pending exception for B. C already has a reallocation in progress and it already has a primary exception (A), so nothing is done to it: B and C are not linked. If the reallocation of B finishes before the reallocation of C, because there is no link with the pending exception for C it does not know to wait for it and, the second write is dispatched to the origin and causes data corruption in the chunk C in snapshot2. To avoid this situation, we maintain snapshots sorted in descending order of chunk size. This leads to a guaranteed ordering on the links between the pending exceptions and avoids the problem explained above - both A and B now get linked to C.

* dm snapshot: implement iterate devicesMike Snitzer2009-09-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement the .iterate_devices for the origin and snapshot targets. dm-snapshot's lack of .iterate_devices resulted in the inability to properly establish queue_limits for both targets. With 4K sector drives: an unfortunate side-effect of not establishing proper limits in either targets' DM device was that IO to the devices would fail even though both had been created without error. Commit af4874e03ed82f050d5872d8c39ce64bf16b5c38 ("dm target:s introduce iterate devices fn") in 2.6.31-rc1 should have implemented .iterate_devices for dm-snap.c's origin and snapshot targets.
