Igor Konopko a96de64a24 lightnvm: pblk: simplify partial read path
This patch changes the approach to handling partial read path.

In old approach merging of data from round buffer and drive was fully
made by drive. This had some disadvantages - code was complex and
relies on bio internals, so it was hard to maintain and was strongly
dependent on bio changes.

In new approach most of the handling is done mostly by block layer
functions such as bio_split(), bio_chain() and generic_make request()
and generally is less complex and easier to maintain. Below some more
details of the new approach.

When read bio arrives, it is cloned for pblk internal purposes. All
the L2P mapping, which includes copying data from round buffer to bio
and thus bio_advance() calls is done on the cloned bio, so the original
bio is untouched. If we found that we have partial read case, we
still have original bio untouched, so we can split it and continue to
process only first part of it in current context, when the rest will be
called as separate bio request which is passed to generic_make_request()
for further processing.

Igor Konopko 3e03f6322a lightnvm: pblk: IO path reorganization
This patch is made in order to prepare read path for new approach to
partial read handling, which is simpler in compare with previous one.

The most important change is to move the handling of completed and
failed bio from the pblk_make_rq() to particular read and write
functions. This is needed, since after partial read path changes,
sometimes completed/failed bio will be different from original one, so
we cannot do this any longer in pblk_make_rq().

Other changes are small read path refactor in order to reduce the size
of the following patch with partial read changes.

Generally the goal of this patch is not to change the functionality,
but just to prepare the code for the following changes.

Igor Konopko f2e024570e lightnvm: pblk: GC error handling
Currently when there is an IO error (or similar) on GC read path, pblk
still move the line, which was currently under GC process to free state.
Such a behaviour can lead to silent data mismatch issue.

With this patch, the line which was under GC process on which some IO
errors occurred, will be putted back to closed state (instead of free
state as it was without this patch) and the L2P mapping for such a
failed sectors will not be updated.

Then in case of any user IOs to such a failed sectors, pblk would be
able to return at least real IO error instead of stale data as it is
right now.

Igor Konopko d38954ed1b lightnvm: pblk: set proper read status in bio
Currently in case of read errors, bi_status is not set properly which
leads to returning inproper data to layers above. This patch fix that
by setting proper status in case of read errors.

Also remove unnecessary warn_once(), which does not make sense
in that place, since user bio is not used for interation with drive
and thus bi_status will not be set here.

Igor Konopko 847a3a2788 lightnvm: pblk: reduce L2P memory footprint
Currently L2P map size is calculated based on the total number of
available sectors, which is redundant, since it contains mapping for
overprovisioning as well (11% by default).

Change this size to the real capacity and thus reduce the memory
footprint significantly - with default op value it is approx.
110MB of DRAM less for every 1TB of media.

Igor Konopko 55d8ec3539 lightnvm: pblk: support packed metadata
pblk performs recovery of open lines by storing the LBA in the per LBA
metadata field. Recovery therefore only works for drives that has this
field.

This patch adds support for packed metadata, which store l2p mapping
for open lines in last sector of every write unit and enables drives
without per IO metadata to recover open lines.

After this patch, drives with OOB size <16B will use packed metadata
and metadata size larger than16B will continue to use the device per
IO metadata.

Hans Holmberg d68a934404 lightnvm: introduce nvm_rq_to_ppa_list
There is a number of places in the lightnvm subsystem where the user
iterates over the ppa list. Before iterating, the user must know if it
is a single or multiple LBAs due to vector commands using either the
nvm_rq ->ppa_addr or ->ppa_list fields on command submission, which
leads to open-coding the if/else statement.

Instead of having multiple if/else's, move it into a function that can
be called by its users.

A nice side effect of this cleanup is that this patch fixes up a
bunch of cases where we don't consider the single-ppa case in pblk.

Matias Bjørling ae14cc044b lightnvm: pblk: refactor put line fn on read completion
The read completion path uses the put_line variable to decide whether
the reference on a line should be released. The function name used for
that is pblk_read_put_rqd_kref, which could lead one to believe that it
is the rqd that is releasing the reference, while it is the line
reference that is put.

Rename and also split the function in two to account for either rqd or
single ppa callers and move it to core, such that it later can be used
in the write path as well.

Michael Callahan ddcf35d397 block: Add and use op_stat_group() for indexing disk_stat fields.
Add and use a new op_stat_group() function for indexing partition stat
fields rather than indexing them by rq_data_dir() or bio_data_dir().
This function works similarly to op_is_sync() in that it takes the
request::cmd_flags or bio::bi_opf flags and determines which stats
should et updated.

In addition, the second parameter to generic_start_io_acct() and
generic_end_io_acct() is now a REQ_OP rather than simply a read or
write bit and it uses op_stat_group() on the parameter to determine
the stat group.

Note that the partition in_flight counts are not part of the per-cpu
statistics and as such are not indexed via this function.  It's now
indexed by op_is_write().

tj: Refreshed on top of v4.17.  Updated to pass around REQ_OP.

On the read path, we can use this information to validate that the data

requested. The cost of this check is an extra copy on the DMA region on
the device and an extra comparison in the host, given that (i) the OOB
area is being read together with the data in the media, and (ii) the DMA
region allocated for the ppa list can be reused for the metadata stored
on the OOB area.

Javier González d340121eb7 lightnvm: pblk: simplify data validity check on GC
When a line is selected for recycling by the garbage collector (GC), the
line state changes and the invalid bitmap is frozen, preventing
invalidations from happening. Throughout the GC, the L2P map is checked
to verify that not data being recycled has been updated. The last check
is done before the new map is being stored on the L2P table. Though
this algorithm works, it requires a number of corner cases to be checked
each time the L2P table is being updated. This complicates readability
and is error prone in case that the recycling algorithm is modified.

Instead, this patch makes the invalid bitmap accessible even when the
line is being recycled. When recycled data is being remapped, it is
enough to check the invalid bitmap for the line before updating the L2P
table.

Javier González bd43241768 lightnvm: pblk: fix min size for page mempool
pblk uses an internal page mempool for allocating pages on internal
bios. The main two users of this memory pool are partial reads (reads
with some sectors in cache and some on media) and padded writes, which
need to add dummy pages to an existing bio already containing valid
data (and with a large enough bioset allocated). In both cases, the
maximum number of pages per bio is defined by the maximum number of
physical sectors supported by the underlying device.

This patch fixes a bad mempool allocation, where the min_nr of elements
on the pool was fixed (to 16), which is lower than the maximum number
of sectors supported by NVMe (as of the time for this patch). Instead,
use the maximum number of allowed sectors reported by the device.

Javier González 7d327a9ed6 lightnvm: pblk: use right flag for GC allocation
The data buffer for the GC path allocates virtual memory through
vmalloc. When this change was introduced, a flag signaling kmalloc'ed
memory was wrongly introduced. Use the right flag when creating a bio
from this buffer.

Javier González 75cb8e939c lightnvm: pblk: advance bio according to lba index
When a lba either hits the cache or corresponds to an empty entry in the
L2P table, we need to advance the bio according to the position in which
the lba is located. Otherwise, we will copy data in the wrong page, thus
causing data corruption for the application.

In case of a cache hit, we assumed that bio->bi_iter.bi_idx would
contain the correct index, but this is no necessarily true. Instead, use
the local bio advance counter and iterator. This guarantees that lbas
hitting the cache are copied into the right bv_page.

In case of an empty L2P entry, we omitted to advance the bio. In the
cases when the same I/O also contains a cache hit, data corresponding
to this lba will be copied to the wrong bv_page. Fix this by advancing
the bio as we do in the case of a cache hit.

Javier González 076984669d lightnvm: pblk: verify that cache read is still valid
When a read is directed to the cache, we risk that the lba has been
updated during the time we made the L2P table lookup and the time we are
actually reading form the cache. We intentionally not hold the L2P lock
not to block other threads.

While strict ordering is not a guarantee at this level (unless REQ_FLUSH
has been previously issued), we have experience that some databases that
have recently implemented direct I/O support, issue metadata reads very
close to the writes, without issuing a fsync in the middle. An easy way
to support them while they is to make an extra effort and check the L2P
map right before reading the cache.

For now, we allocate a per I/O buffer for GC data. Since the potential
size of the buffer is 256KB and GC is not in the fast path, do this
allocation with vmalloc. This puts lets pressure on the memory
allocator at no performance cost.

Javier González 588726d3ec lightnvm: pblk: fail gracefully on irrec. error
Due to user writes being decoupled from media writes because of the need
of an intermediate write buffer, irrecoverable media write errors lead
to pblk stalling; user writes fill up the buffer and end up in an
infinite retry loop.

In order to let user writes fail gracefully, it is necessary for pblk to
keep track of its own internal state and prevent further writes from
being placed into the write buffer.

This patch implements a state machine to keep track of internal errors
and, in case of failure, fail further user writes in an standard way.
Depending on the type of error, pblk will do its best to persist
buffered writes (which are already acknowledged) and close down on a
graceful manner. This way, data might be recovered by re-instantiating
pblk. Such state machine paves out the way for a state-based FTL log.
