Struct bio has an atomic ref count for chained bio's, and we use this
to know when to end IO on the bio. However, most bio's are not chained,
so we don't need to always introduce this atomic operation as part of
ending IO.
Add a helper to elevate the bi_remaining count, and flag the bio as
now actually needing the decrement at end_io time. Rename the field
to __bi_remaining to catch any current users of this doing the
incrementing manually.
For high IOPS workloads, this reduces the overhead of bio_endio()
substantially.

It was always intended that a read to an unprovisioned block will return
zeroes regardless of whether the pool is in read-only or read-write
mode. thin_bio_map() was inconsistent with its handling of such reads
when the pool is in read-only mode, it now properly zero-fills the bios
it returns in response to unprovisioned block reads.
Eliminate thin_bio_map()'s special read-only mode handling of -ENODATA
and just allow the IO to be deferred to the worker which will result in
pool->process_bio() handling the IO (which already properly zero-fills
reads to unprovisioned blocks).

Commit 80e96c5484 ("dm thin: do not allow thin device activation

opens a race with a worker thread that walks the list and calls
thin_get/put, noticing that the refcount goes to 0 and calling
complete, freezing up the system and giving the oops below:

Discard bios and thin device deletion have the potential to release data

released, transition the thin-pool back to full write mode.
The correct time to do this is just after the thin-pool metadata commit.
It cannot be done before the commit because the space maps will not

When the pool was in PM_OUT_OF_SPACE mode its process_prepared_discard
function pointer was incorrectly being set to
process_prepared_discard_passdown rather than process_prepared_discard.
This incorrect function pointer meant the discard was being passed down,
but not effecting the mapping. As such any discard that was issued, in

Simplify the pool_io_hints code that works to establish a max_sectors
value that is a power-of-2 factor of the thin-pool's blocksize. The
biggest associated improvement is that the DM thin-pool is no longer
concerning itself with the data device's max_hw_sectors when adjusting
max_sectors.
This fixes the relative fragility of the original "dm thin: adjust
max_sectors_kb based on thinp blocksize" commit that only became
apparent when testing was performed using a DM thin-pool ontop of a
virtio_blk device. One proposed upstream patch detailed the problems
inherent in virtio_blk: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/11/20/611
So even though virtio_blk incorrectly set its max_hw_sectors it actually
helped make it clear that we need DM thinp to be tolerant of any future
Linux driver that incorrectly sets max_hw_sectors.
We only need to be concerned with modifying the thin-pool device's
max_sectors limit if it is smaller than the thin-pool's blocksize. In
this case the value of max_sectors does become a limiting factor when
upper layers (e.g. filesystems) construct their bios. But if the
hardware can support IOs larger than the thin-pool's blocksize the user
is encouraged to adjust the thin-pool's data device's max_sectors
accordingly -- doing so will enable the thin-pool to inherit the
established user-defined max_sectors.

Throttling definitely helps dm-thinp perform better under heavy IO load

drastically, e.g.: from 60K to ~6K, and even as low as 150 once metadata
is cached by bufio, when dirty_ratio=5, dirty_background_ratio=2. And

DM thinp already checks whether the discard_granularity of the data

Update set_discard_limits() to set discard_granularity to the max of
these values. This enables blkdev_issue_discard() to properly align the

introduced the use of an rculist for all active thin devices. The use

dm_bio_prison_cell must be allocated as a side-effect of bio_detain():

We can't process deferred bios with the rcu lock held, since
dm_bio_prison_cell allocation may block if the bio-prison's cell mempool
is exhausted.
To fix:
- Introduce a refcount and completion field to each thin_c
- Add thin_get/put methods for adjusting the refcount. If the refcount
hits zero then the completion is triggered.
- Initialise refcount to 1 when creating thin_c
- When iterating the active_thins list we thin_get() whilst the rcu
lock is held.
- After the rcu lock is dropped we process the deferred bios for that
thin.
- When destroying a thin_c we thin_put() and then wait for the
completion -- to avoid a race between the worker thread iterating
from that thin_c and destroying the thin_c.

A thin-pool will allocate blocks using FIFO order for all thin devices
which share the thin-pool. Because of this simplistic allocation the
thin-pool's space can become fragmented quite easily; especially when
multiple threads are requesting blocks in parallel.
Sort each thin device's deferred_bio_list based on logical sector to
help reduce fragmentation of the thin-pool's ondisk layout.
The following tables illustrate the realized gains/potential offered by
sorting each thin device's deferred_bio_list. An "io size"-sized random
read of the device would result in "seeks/io" fragments being read, with
an average "distance/seek" between each fragment.
Data was written to a single thin device using multiple threads via
iozone (8 threads, 64K for both the block_size and io_size).

Ideally a thin pool would never run out of data space; the low water
mark would trigger userland to extend the pool before we completely run
out of space. However, many small random IOs to unprovisioned space can
consume data space at an alarming rate. Adjust your low water mark if
you're frequently seeing "out-of-data-space" mode.
Before this fix, if data space ran out the pool would be put in
PM_READ_ONLY mode which also aborted the pool's current metadata
transaction (data loss for any changes in the transaction). This had a
side-effect of needlessly compromising data consistency. And retry of
queued unserviceable bios, once the data pool was resized, could
initiate changes to potentially inconsistent pool metadata.
Now when the pool's data space is exhausted transition to a new pool
mode (PM_OUT_OF_DATA_SPACE) that allows metadata to be changed but data
may not be allocated. This allows users to remove thin volumes or
discard data to recover data space.
The pool is no longer put in PM_READ_ONLY mode in response to the pool
running out of data space. And PM_READ_ONLY mode no longer aborts the
pool's current metadata transaction. Also, set_pool_mode() will now
notify userspace when the pool mode is changed.

to have data loss. As such, set THIN_METADATA_NEEDS_CHECK_FLAG in the
thin metadata's superblock which:
1) requires the user verify the thin metadata is consistent (e.g. use
thin_check, etc)
2) suggests the user verify the thin data is consistent (e.g. use fsck)
The only way to clear the superblock's THIN_METADATA_NEEDS_CHECK_FLAG is
to run thin_repair.
On metadata operation failure: abort current metadata transaction, set
pool in read-only mode, and now set the needs_check flag.
As part of this change, constraints are introduced or relaxed:
* don't allow a pool to transition to write mode if needs_check is set
* don't allow data or metadata space to be resized if needs_check is set
* if a thin pool's metadata space is exhausted: the kernel will now
force the user to take the pool offline for repair before the kernel
will allow the metadata space to be extended.
Also, update Documentation to include information about when the thin
provisioning target commits metadata, how it handles metadata failures
and running out of space.

Commit b5330655 ("dm thin: handle metadata failures more consistently")
increased potential for the pool's mode to be changed in response to
metadata operation failures.
When the pool mode is changed it isn't synchronized with the mode in
pool_features stored in the target's context (ti->private) that is used
as the basis for (re)establishing the pool mode during resume via
bind_control_target.
It is important that we synchronize the pool mode when it is changed
otherwise the pool may experience and unexpected mode transition on the
next resume (especially if there was no new table load).

It was always intended that a user could provide a thin metadata device
that is larger than the max supported by the on-disk format. The extra
space would just go unused.
Unfortunately that never worked. If the user attempted to use a larger
metadata device on creation they would get an error like the following:
device-mapper: space map common: space map too large
device-mapper: transaction manager: couldn't create metadata space map
device-mapper: thin metadata: tm_create_with_sm failed
device-mapper: table: 252:17: thin-pool: Error creating metadata object
device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table
Fix this by allowing the initial metadata space map creation to cap its
size at the max number of blocks supported (DM_SM_METADATA_MAX_BLOCKS).
get_metadata_dev_size() must also impose DM_SM_METADATA_MAX_BLOCKS (via
THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS), otherwise extending metadata would cap at
THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS_WARNING (which is larger than supported).
Also, the calculation for THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS didn't account for
the sizeof the disk_bitmap_header. So the supported maximum metadata
size is a bit smaller (reduced from 33423360 to 33292800 sectors).
Lastly, remove the "excess space will not be used" warning message from
get_metadata_dev_size(); it resulted in printing the warning multiple
times. Factor out warn_if_metadata_device_too_big(), call it from
pool_ctr() and maybe_resize_metadata_dev().

The pool mode must not be switched until after the corresponding pool
process_* methods have been established. Otherwise, because
set_pool_mode() isn't interlocked with the IO path for performance
reasons, the IO path can end up executing process_* operations that
don't match the mode. This patch eliminates problems like the following

mode from PM_READ_ONLY to PM_WRITE):

dm-thin.c:995 was the WARN_ON_ONCE(get_pool_mode(pool) != PM_READ_ONLY);

debugging I had conveys: the pool mode was _not_ PM_READ_ONLY like

The pool's error_if_no_space flag can easily serve the same purpose that
no_free_space did, namely: control whether handle_unserviceable_bio()
will error a bio or requeue it.
This is cleaner since error_if_no_space is established when the pool's
features are processed during table load. So it avoids managing the
no_free_space flag by taking the pool's spinlock.

If the pool runs out of data or metadata space, the pool can either
queue or error the IO destined to the data device. The default is to
queue the IO until more space is added.

Now that we switch the pool to read-only mode when the data device runs
out of space it causes active writers to get IO errors once we resume
after resizing the data device.
If no_free_space is set, save bios to the 'retry_on_resume_list' and
requeue them on resume (once the data or metadata device may have been
resized).
With this patch the resize_io test passes again (on slower storage):
dmtest run --suite thin-provisioning -n /resize_io/

transitions done as part of the pool's -ENOSPC handling. These races

Factor out_of_data_space() out of alloc_data_block(). Eliminate the use
of 'no_free_space' as a latch in alloc_data_block() -- this is no longer
needed now that we switch to read-only mode when we run out of data or
metadata space. In a later patch, the 'no_free_space' flag will be
eliminated entirely (in favor of checking metadata rather than relying
on a transient flag).
Move no metdata space handling into metdata_operation_failed(). Set
no_free_space when metadata space is exhausted too. This is useful,
because it offers consistency, for the following patch that will requeue
data IOs if no_free_space.

If a snapshot is created and later deleted the origin dm_thin_device's
snapshotted_time will have been updated to reflect the snapshot's
creation time. The 'shared' flag in the dm_thin_lookup_result struct
returned from dm_thin_find_block() is an approximation based on
snapshotted_time -- this is done to avoid 0(n), or worse, time
complexity. In this case, the shared flag would be true.
But because the 'shared' flag reflects an approximation a block can be
incorrectly assumed to be shared (e.g. false positive for 'shared'
because the snapshot no longer exists). This could result in discards
issued to a thin device not being passed down to the pool's underlying
data device.
To fix this we double check that a thin block is really still in-use
after a mapping is removed using dm_pool_block_is_used(). If the
reference count for a block is now zero the discard is allowed to be
passed down.
Also add a 'definitely_not_shared' member to the dm_thin_new_mapping
structure -- reflects that the 'shared' flag in the response from
dm_thin_find_block() can only be held as definitive if false is
returned.

This adds a generic mechanism for chaining bio completions. This is
going to be used for a bio_split() replacement, and it turns out to be
very useful in a fair amount of driver code - a fair number of drivers
were implementing this in their own roundabout ways, often painfully.
Note that this means it's no longer to call bio_endio() more than once
on the same bio! This can cause problems for drivers that save/restore
bi_end_io. Arguably they shouldn't be saving/restoring bi_end_io at all
- in all but the simplest cases they'd be better off just cloning the
bio, and immutable biovecs is making bio cloning cheaper. But for now,
we add a bio_endio_nodec() for these cases.

Fix issue where the block layer would stack the discard limits of the

The pool and thin device(s) still had discards disabled because the
QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD request_queue flag wasn't set. But to avoid user
confusion when "ignore_discard" is used: both the pool device and the
thin device(s) have zeroes for all discard limits.
Also, always set discard_zeroes_data_unsupported in targets because they
should never advertise the 'discard_zeroes_data' capability (even if the

If pool has 'no_free_space' set it means a previous allocation already
determined the pool has no free space (and failed that allocation with
-ENOSPC). By always returning -ENOSPC if 'no_free_space' is set, we do
not allow the pool to oscillate between allocating blocks and then not.
But a side-effect of this determinism is that if a user wants to be able
to allocate new blocks they'll need to reload the pool's table (to clear
the 'no_free_space' flag). This reload will happen automatically if the
pool's data volume is resized. But if the user takes action to free a
lot of space by deleting snapshot volumes, etc the pool will no longer
allow data allocations to continue without an intervening table reload.

Fix a discard granularity calculation to work for non power of 2 block sizes.
In order for thinp to passdown discard bios to the underlying data
device, the data device must have a discard granularity that is a
factor of the thinp block size. Originally this check was done by
using bitops since the block_size was known to be a power of two.
Introduced by commit f13945d757

Fix a bug in dm_btree_remove that could leave leaf values with incorrect
reference counts. The effect of this was that removal of a shared block
could result in the space maps thinking the block was no longer used.
More concretely, if you have a thin device and a snapshot of it, sending
a discard to a shared region of the thin could corrupt the snapshot.
Thinp uses a 2-level nested btree to store it's mappings. This first
level is indexed by thin device, and the second level by logical
block.
Often when we're removing an entry in this mapping tree we need to
rebalance nodes, which can involve shadowing them, possibly creating a
copy if the block is shared. If we do create a copy then children of
that node need to have their reference counts incremented. In this
way reference counts percolate down the tree as shared trees diverge.
The rebalance functions were incrementing the children at the
appropriate time, but they were always assuming the children were
internal nodes. This meant the leaf values (in our case packed
block/flags entries) were not being incremented.

This patch takes advantage of the new bio-prison interface where the
memory is now passed in rather than using a mempool in bio-prison.
This allows the map function to avoid performing potentially-blocking
allocations that could lead to deadlocks: We want to avoid the cell
allocation that is done in bio_detain.
(The potential for mempool deadlocks still remains in other functions
that use bio_detain.)

Change the dm_bio_prison interface so that instead of allocating memory
internally, dm_bio_detain is supplied with a pre-allocated cell each
time it is called.
This enables a subsequent patch to move the allocation of the struct
dm_bio_prison_cell outside the thin target's mapping function so it can
no longer block there.

This patch allows the administrator to reduce the rate at which kcopyd
issues I/O.
Each module that uses kcopyd acquires a throttle parameter that can be
set in /sys/module/*/parameters.
We maintain a history of kcopyd usage by each module in the variables
io_period and total_period in struct dm_kcopyd_throttle. The actual
kcopyd activity is calculated as a percentage of time equal to
"(100 * io_period / total_period)". This is compared with the user-defined
throttle percentage threshold and if it is exceeded, we sleep.

Avoid returning a truncated table or status string instead of setting
the DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG when the last target of a table fills the
buffer.
When processing a table or status request, the function retrieve_status
calls ti->type->status. If ti->type->status returns non-zero,
retrieve_status assumes that the buffer overflowed and sets
DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG.
However, targets don't return non-zero values from their status method
on overflow. Most targets returns always zero.
If a buffer overflow happens in a target that is not the last in the
table, it gets noticed during the next iteration of the loop in
retrieve_status; but if a buffer overflow happens in the last target, it
goes unnoticed and erroneously truncated data is returned.
In the current code, the targets behave in the following way:
* dm-crypt returns -ENOMEM if there is not enough space to store the
key, but it returns 0 on all other overflows.
* dm-thin returns errors from the status method if a disk error happened.
This is incorrect because retrieve_status doesn't check the error
code, it assumes that all non-zero values mean buffer overflow.
* all the other targets always return 0.
This patch changes the ti->type->status function to return void (because
most targets don't use the return code). Overflow is detected in
retrieve_status: if the status method fills up the remaining space
completely, it is assumed that buffer overflow happened.

thin_io_hints() is blindly copying the queue limits from the thin-pool
which can lead to incorrect limits being set. The fix here simply
deletes the thin_io_hints() hook which leaves the existing stacking
infrastructure to set the limits correctly.
When a thin-pool uses an MD device for the data device a thin device
from the thin-pool must respect MD's constraints about disallowing a bio
from spanning multiple chunks. Otherwise we can see problems. If the raid0
chunksize is 1152K and thin-pool chunksize is 256K I see the following
md/raid0 error (with extra debug tracing added to thin_endio) when
mkfs.xfs is executed against the thin device:
md/raid0:md99: make_request bug: can't convert block across chunks or bigger than 1152k 6688 127
device-mapper: thin: bio sector=2080 err=-5 bi_size=130560 bi_rw=17 bi_vcnt=32 bi_idx=0
This extra DM debugging shows that the failing bio is spanning across
the first and second logical 1152K chunk (sector 2080 + 255 takes the
bio beyond the first chunk's boundary of sector 2304). So the bio
splitting that DM is doing clearly isn't respecting the MD limits.
max_hw_sectors_kb is 127 for both the thin-pool and thin device
(queue_max_hw_sectors returns 255 so we'll excuse sysfs's lack of
precision). So this explains why bi_size is 130560.
But the thin device's max_hw_sectors_kb should be 4 (PAGE_SIZE) given
that it doesn't have a .merge function (for bio_add_page to consult
indirectly via dm_merge_bvec) yet the thin-pool does sit above an MD
device that has a compulsory merge_bvec_fn. This scenario is exactly
why DM must resort to sending single PAGE_SIZE bios to the underlying
layer. Some additional context for this is available in the header for
commit 8cbeb67a ("dm: avoid unsupported spanning of md stripe boundaries").
Long story short, the reason a thin device doesn't properly get
configured to have a max_hw_sectors_kb of 4 (PAGE_SIZE) is that
thin_io_hints() is blindly copying the queue limits from the thin-pool
device directly to the thin device's queue limits.
Fix this by eliminating thin_io_hints. Doing so is safe because the
block layer's queue limits stacking already enables the upper level thin
device to inherit the thin-pool device's discard and minimum_io_size and
optimal_io_size limits that get set in pool_io_hints. But avoiding the
queue limits copy allows the thin and thin-pool limits to be different
where it is important, namely max_hw_sectors_kb.

Add WRITE SAME support to dm-io and make it accessible to
dm_kcopyd_zero(). dm_kcopyd_zero() provides an asynchronous interface
whereas the blkdev_issue_write_same() interface is synchronous.
WRITE SAME is a SCSI command that can be leveraged for more efficient
zeroing of a specified logical extent of a device which supports it.
Only a single zeroed logical block is transfered to the target for each
WRITE SAME and the target then writes that same block across the
specified extent.
The dm thin target uses this.
