shli@kernel.org 46d5b78562 raid5: use flex_array for scribble data
Use flex_array for scribble data. Next patch will batch several stripes
together, so scribble data should be able to cover several stripes, so this
patch also allocates scribble data for stripes across a chunk.

Heinz Mauelshagen 753f2856cd md raid0: access mddev->queue (request queue member) conditionally because it is not set when accessed from dm-raid
The patch makes 3 references to mddev->queue in the raid0 personality
conditional in order to allow for it to be accessed from dm-raid.
Mandatory, because md instances underneath dm-raid don't manage
a request queue of their own which'd lead to oopses without the patch.

NeilBrown ac8fa4196d md: allow resync to go faster when there is competing IO.
When md notices non-sync IO happening while it is trying
to resync (or reshape or recover) it slows down to the
set minimum.

The default minimum might have made sense many years ago
but the drives have become faster.  Changing the default
to match the times isn't really a long term solution.

This patch changes the code so that instead of waiting until the speed
has dropped to the target, it just waits until pending requests
have completed.
This means that the delay inserted is a function of the speed
of the devices.

Testing shows that:
 - for some loads, the resync speed is unchanged.  For those loads
   increasing the minimum doesn't change the speed either.
   So this is a good result.  To increase resync speed under such
   loads we would probably need to increase the resync window
   size.

 - for other loads, resync speed does increase to a reasonable
   fraction (e.g. 20%) of maximum possible, and throughput of
   the load only drops a little bit (e.g. 10%)

 - for other loads, throughput of the non-sync load drops quite a bit
   more.  These seem to be latency-sensitive loads.

So it isn't a perfect solution, but it is mostly an improvement.

NeilBrown 09314799e4 md: remove 'go_faster' option from ->sync_request()
This option is not well justified and testing suggests that
it hardly ever makes any difference.

The comment suggests there might be a need to wait for non-resync
activity indicated by ->nr_waiting, however raise_barrier()
already waits for all of that.

So just remove it to simplify reasoning about speed limiting.

This allows us to remove a 'FIXME' comment from raid5.c as that
never used the flag.

NeilBrown 50c37b136a md: don't require sync_min to be a multiple of chunk_size.
There is really no need for sync_min to be a multiple of
chunk_size, and values read from here often aren't.
That means you cannot read a value and expect to be able
to write it back later.

So remove the chunk_size check, and round down to a multiple
of 4K, to be sure everything works with 4K-sector devices.

Goldwyn Rodrigues 97f6cd39da md-cluster: re-add capabilities
When "re-add" is writted to /sys/block/mdXX/md/dev-YYY/state,
the clustered md:

1. Sends RE_ADD message with the desc_nr. Nodes receiving the message
   clear the Faulty bit in their respective rdev->flags.
2. The node initiating re-add, gathers the bitmaps of all nodes
   and copies them into the local bitmap. It does not clear the bitmap
   from which it is copying.
3. Initiating node schedules a md recovery to sync the devices.

Goldwyn Rodrigues a6da4ef85c md: re-add a failed disk
This adds the capability of re-adding a failed disk by
writing "re-add" to /sys/block/mdXX/md/dev-YYY/state.

This facilitates adding disks which have encountered a temporary
error such as a network disconnection/hiccup in an iSCSI device,
or a SAN cable disconnection which has been restored. In such
a situation, you do not need to remove and re-add the device.
Writing re-add to the failed device's state would add it again
to the array and perform the recovery of only the blocks which
were written after the device failed.

This works for generic md, and is not related to clustering. However,
this patch is to ease re-add operations listed above in clustering
environments.

Ben Collins 0618764cb2 dm crypt: fix deadlock when async crypto algorithm returns -EBUSY
I suspect this doesn't show up for most anyone because software
algorithms typically don't have a sense of being too busy.  However,
when working with the Freescale CAAM driver it will return -EBUSY on
occasion under heavy -- which resulted in dm-crypt deadlock.

After checking the logic in some other drivers, the scheme for
crypt_convert() and it's callback, kcryptd_async_done(), were not
correctly laid out to properly handle -EBUSY or -EINPROGRESS.

Fix this by using the completion for both -EBUSY and -EINPROGRESS.  Now
crypt_convert()'s use of completion is comparable to
af_alg_wait_for_completion().  Similarly, kcryptd_async_done() follows
the pattern used in af_alg_complete().

Before this fix dm-crypt would lockup within 1-2 minutes running with
the CAAM driver.  Fix was regression tested against software algorithms
on PPC32 and x86_64, and things seem perfectly happy there as well.

Sami Tolvanen 65ff5b7ddf dm verity: add error handling modes for corrupted blocks
Add device specific modes to dm-verity to specify how corrupted
blocks should be handled.  The following modes are defined:

  - DM_VERITY_MODE_EIO is the default behavior, where reading a
    corrupted block results in -EIO.

  - DM_VERITY_MODE_LOGGING only logs corrupted blocks, but does
    not block the read.

  - DM_VERITY_MODE_RESTART calls kernel_restart when a corrupted
    block is discovered.

In addition, each mode sends a uevent to notify userspace of
corruption and to allow further recovery actions.

The driver defaults to previous behavior (DM_VERITY_MODE_EIO)
and other modes can be enabled with an additional parameter to
the verity table.

Dan Ehrenberg 644bda6f34 dm table: fall back to getting device using name_to_dev_t()
If a device is used as the root filesystem, it can't be built
off of devices which are within the root filesystem (just like
command line arguments to root=).  For this reason, Linux has a
pseudo-filesystem for root= and MD initialization (based on the
function name_to_dev_t) which handles different ways of specifying
devices including PARTUUID and major:minor.

Switch to using name_to_dev_t() in dm_get_device().  Rather than
having DM assume that all things which are not major:minor are paths in
an already-mounted filesystem, change dm_get_device() to first attempt
to look up the device in the filesystem, and if not found it will fall
back to using name_to_dev_t().

In terms of backwards compatibility, there are some cases where
behavior will be different:
- If you have a file in the current working directory named 1:2 and
  you initialze DM there, then it will try to use that file rather
  than the disk with that major:minor pair as a backing device.
- Similarly for other bdev types which name_to_dev_t() knows how to
  interpret, the previous behavior was to repeatedly check for the
  existence of the file (e.g., while waiting for rootfs to come up)
  but the new behavior is to use the name_to_dev_t() interpretation.
  For example, if you have a file named /dev/ubiblock0_0 which is
  a symlink to /dev/sda3, but it is not yet present when DM starts
  to initialize, then the name_to_dev_t() interpretation will take
  precedence.

These incompatibilities would only show up in really strange setups
with bad practices so we shouldn't have to worry about them.

Mike Snitzer bfebd1cdb4 dm: add full blk-mq support to request-based DM
Commit e5863d9ad ("dm: allocate requests in target when stacking on
blk-mq devices") served as the first step toward fully utilizing blk-mq
in request-based DM -- it enabled stacking an old-style (request_fn)
request_queue ontop of the underlying blk-mq device(s).  That first step
didn't improve performance of DM multipath ontop of fast blk-mq devices
(e.g. NVMe) because the top-level old-style request_queue was severely
limited by the queue_lock.

The second step offered here enables stacking a blk-mq request_queue
ontop of the underlying blk-mq device(s).  This unlocks significant
performance gains on fast blk-mq devices, Keith Busch tested on his NVMe
testbed and offered this really positive news:

 "Just providing a performance update. All my fio tests are getting
  roughly equal performance whether accessed through the raw block
  device or the multipath device mapper (~470k IOPS). I could only push
  ~20% of the raw iops through dm before this conversion, so this latest
  tree is looking really solid from a performance standpoint."

Mike Snitzer 0ce65797a7 dm: impose configurable deadline for dm_request_fn's merge heuristic
Otherwise, for sequential workloads, the dm_request_fn can allow
excessive request merging at the expense of increased service time.

Add a per-device sysfs attribute to allow the user to control how long a
request, that is a reasonable merge candidate, can be queued on the
request queue.  The resolution of this request dispatch deadline is in
microseconds (ranging from 1 to 100000 usecs), to set a 20us deadline:
  echo 20 > /sys/block/dm-7/dm/rq_based_seq_io_merge_deadline

The dm_request_fn's merge heuristic and associated extra accounting is
disabled by default (rq_based_seq_io_merge_deadline is 0).

This sysfs attribute is not applicable to bio-based DM devices so it
will only ever report 0 for them.

By allowing a request to remain on the queue it will block others
requests on the queue.  But introducing a short dequeue delay has proven
very effective at enabling certain sequential IO workloads on really
fast, yet IOPS constrained, devices to build up slightly larger IOs --
yielding 90+% throughput improvements.  Having precise control over the
time taken to wait for larger requests to build affords control beyond
that of waiting for certain IO sizes to accumulate (which would require
a deadline anyway).  This knob will only ever make sense with sequential
IO workloads and the particular value used is storage configuration
specific.

Given the expected niche use-case for when this knob is useful it has
been deemed acceptable to expose this relatively crude method for
crafting optimal IO on specific storage -- especially given the solution
is simple yet effective.  In the context of DM multipath, it is
advisable to tune this sysfs attribute to a value that offers the best
performance for the common case (e.g. if 4 paths are expected active,
tune for that; if paths fail then performance may be slightly reduced).

Alternatives were explored to have request-based DM autotune this value
(e.g. if/when paths fail) but they were quickly deemed too fragile and
complex to warrant further design and development time.  If this problem
proves more common as faster storage emerges we'll have to look at
elevating a generic solution into the block core.

NeilBrown 47d68979cc md/raid0: fix bug with chunksize not a power of 2.
Since commit 20d0189b10
in v3.14-rc1 RAID0 has performed incorrect calculations
when the chunksize is not a power of 2.

This happens because "sector_div()" modifies its first argument, but
this wasn't taken into account in the patch.

So restore that first arg before re-using the variable.

The cause is commit "18c0b223cf9901727ef3b02da6711ac930b4e5d4" uses the

Writeback takes out a lock on the cache block, so will increase the
latency for any concurrent io.

This patch works by placing 2 sentinel objects on each level of the

the newest end of the queue level.

When looking for writeback work:
  if less than 25% of the cache is clean:
    we select the oldest object with the lowest hit count
  otherwise:
    we select the oldest object that is not past a writeback sentinel.

Commit c4db59d31e ("fs: don't reassign dirty inodes to
default_backing_dev_info") exposed DM to a latent race in free_dev() vs
add_disk() in relation to management of the device's minor number.

Fix this by refactoring free_dev() to match cleanup order of the
alloc_dev() error path.  Move cleanup of the gendisk, queue, and bdev
to _before_ the cleanup of the idr managed minor number.

Also, purely due to cleanup that fell out during the free_dev() audit:
- adjust dm_blk_close() to access the gendisk's private_data under
  the _minor_lock spinlock.
- move __dm_destroy()'s dm_get_live_table() call out from under the
  _minor_lock spinlock.

Mikulas Patocka 09ee96b214 dm snapshot: suspend merging snapshot when doing exception handover
The "dm snapshot: suspend origin when doing exception handover" commit
fixed a exception store handover bug associated with pending exceptions
to the "snapshot-origin" target.

However, a similar problem exists in snapshot merging.  When snapshot
merging is in progress, we use the target "snapshot-merge" instead of
"snapshot-origin".  Consequently, during exception store handover, we
must find the snapshot-merge target and suspend its associated
mapped_device.

To avoid lockdep warnings, the target must be suspended and resumed
without holding _origins_lock.

Introduce a dm_hold() function that grabs a reference on a
mapped_device, but unlike dm_get(), it doesn't crash if the device has
the DMF_FREEING flag set, it returns an error in this case.

In snapshot_resume() we grab the reference to the origin device using
dm_hold() while holding _origins_lock (_origins_lock guarantees that the
device won't disappear).  Then we release _origins_lock, suspend the
device and grab _origins_lock again.

NOTE to stable@ people:
When backporting to kernels 3.18 and older, use dm_internal_suspend and
dm_internal_resume instead of dm_internal_suspend_fast and
dm_internal_resume_fast.

Mikulas Patocka b735fede8d dm snapshot: suspend origin when doing exception handover
In the function snapshot_resume we perform exception store handover.  If
there is another active snapshot target, the exception store is moved
from this target to the target that is being resumed.

The problem is that if there is some pending exception, it will point to
an incorrect exception store after that handover, causing a crash due to
dm-snap-persistent.c:get_exception()'s BUG_ON.

This bug can be triggered by repeatedly changing snapshot permissions
with "lvchange -p r" and "lvchange -p rw" while there are writes on the
associated origin device.

To fix this bug, we must suspend the origin device when doing the
exception store handover to make sure that there are no pending
exceptions:
- introduce _origin_hash that keeps track of dm_origin structures.
- introduce functions __lookup_dm_origin, __insert_dm_origin and
  __remove_dm_origin that manipulate the origin hash.
- modify snapshot_resume so that it calls dm_internal_suspend_fast() and
  dm_internal_resume_fast() on the origin device.

NOTE to stable@ people:

When backporting to kernels 3.12-3.18, use dm_internal_suspend and
dm_internal_resume instead of dm_internal_suspend_fast and
dm_internal_resume_fast.

When backporting to kernels older than 3.12, you need to pick functions
dm_internal_suspend and dm_internal_resume from the commit
fd2ed4d252.

Joe Thornber 5f027a3bf1 dm thin: fix to consistently zero-fill reads to unprovisioned blocks
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).

We only need to test one of these as they are both changed
from -1 or >=0 at the same time.

As we leave min_pending and best_dist unchanged, any non-write-mostly
device will appear better than the write-mostly device.

Goldwyn Rodrigues 1aee41f637 Add new disk to clustered array
Algorithm:
1. Node 1 issues mdadm --manage /dev/mdX --add /dev/sdYY which issues
   ioctl(ADD_NEW_DISC with disc.state set to MD_DISK_CLUSTER_ADD)
2. Node 1 sends NEWDISK with uuid and slot number
3. Other nodes issue kobject_uevent_env with uuid and slot number
(Steps 4,5 could be a udev rule)
4. In userspace, the node searches for the disk, perhaps
   using blkid -t SUB_UUID=""
5. Other nodes issue either of the following depending on whether the disk
   was found:
   ioctl(ADD_NEW_DISK with disc.state set to MD_DISK_CANDIDATE and
	 disc.number set to slot number)
   ioctl(CLUSTERED_DISK_NACK)
6. Other nodes drop lock on no-new-devs (CR) if device is found
7. Node 1 attempts EX lock on no-new-devs
8. If node 1 gets the lock, it sends METADATA_UPDATED after unmarking the disk
   as SpareLocal
9. If not (get no-new-dev lock), it fails the operation and sends METADATA_UPDATED
10. Other nodes understand if the device is added or not by reading the superblock again after receiving the METADATA_UPDATED message.

2. Calls md_cluster_ops->join(), which sets up clustering such as
   joining DLM lockspace.

Since the first time, the first bitmap is read. After the call
to the cluster_setup, the bitmap offset is adjusted and the
superblock is re-read. This also ensures the bitmap is read

Mikulas Patocka 22aa66a3ee dm snapshot: fix a possible invalid memory access on unload
When the snapshot target is unloaded, snapshot_dtr() waits until
pending_exceptions_count drops to zero.  Then, it destroys the snapshot.
Therefore, the function that decrements pending_exceptions_count
should not touch the snapshot structure after the decrement.

pending_complete() calls free_pending_exception(), which decrements
pending_exceptions_count, and then it performs up_write(&s->lock) and it
calls retry_origin_bios() which dereferences  s->origin.  These two
memory accesses to the fields of the snapshot may touch the dm_snapshot
struture after it is freed.

This patch moves the call to free_pending_exception() to the end of
pending_complete(), so that the snapshot will not be destroyed while
pending_complete() is in progress.

Mikulas Patocka 2bec1f4a88 dm: fix a race condition in dm_get_md
The function dm_get_md finds a device mapper device with a given dev_t,
increases the reference count and returns the pointer.

dm_get_md calls dm_find_md, dm_find_md takes _minor_lock, finds the
device, tests that the device doesn't have DMF_DELETING or DMF_FREEING
flag, drops _minor_lock and returns pointer to the device. dm_get_md then
calls dm_get. dm_get calls BUG if the device has the DMF_FREEING flag,
otherwise it increments the reference count.

There is a possible race condition - after dm_find_md exits and before
dm_get is called, there are no locks held, so the device may disappear or
DMF_FREEING flag may be set, which results in BUG.

To fix this bug, we need to call dm_get while we hold _minor_lock. This
patch renames dm_find_md to dm_get_md and changes it so that it calls
dm_get while holding the lock.

  md: When RAID5 is dirty, force reconstruct-write instead of read-modify-write.

Causes an RCW cycle to be forced even when the array is degraded.
A degraded array cannot support RCW as that requires reading all data
blocks, and one may be missing.

Forcing an RCW when it is not possible causes a live-lock and the code
spins, repeatedly deciding to do something that cannot succeed.

So change the condition to only force RCW on non-degraded arrays.

Mikulas Patocka b3c5fd3052 dm crypt: sort writes
Write requests are sorted in a red-black tree structure and are
submitted in the sorted order.

In theory the sorting should be performed by the underlying disk
scheduler, however, in practice the disk scheduler only accepts and
sorts a finite number of requests.  To allow the sorting of all
requests, dm-crypt needs to implement its own sorting.

The overhead associated with rbtree-based sorting is considered
negligible so it is not used conditionally.  Even on SSD sorting can be
beneficial since in-order request dispatch promotes lower latency IO
completion to the upper layers.

The default is to offload write bios to the same thread because it

Mikulas Patocka dc2676210c dm crypt: offload writes to thread
Submitting write bios directly in the encryption thread caused serious
performance degradation.  On a multiprocessor machine, encryption requests
finish in a different order than they were submitted.  Consequently, write
requests would be submitted in a different order and it could cause severe
performance degradation.

Move the submission of write requests to a separate thread so that the
requests can be sorted before submitting.  But this commit improves
dm-crypt performance even without having dm-crypt perform request
sorting (in particular it enables IO schedulers like CFQ to sort more
effectively).

Note: it is required that a previous commit ("dm crypt: don't allocate
pages for a partial request") be applied before applying this patch.

Mikulas Patocka 94f5e0243c dm crypt: remove unused io_pool and _crypt_io_pool
The previous commit ("dm crypt: don't allocate pages for a partial
request") stopped using the io_pool slab mempool and backing
_crypt_io_pool kmem cache.

Mikulas Patocka 7145c241a1 dm crypt: avoid deadlock in mempools
Fix a theoretical deadlock introduced in the previous commit ("dm crypt:
don't allocate pages for a partial request").

The function crypt_alloc_buffer may be called concurrently.  If we allocate
from the mempool concurrently, there is a possibility of deadlock.  For
example, if we have mempool of 256 pages, two processes, each wanting
256, pages allocate from the mempool concurrently, it may deadlock in a
situation where both processes have allocated 128 pages and the mempool
is exhausted.

To avoid such a scenario we allocate the pages under a mutex.  In order
to not degrade performance with excessive locking, we try non-blocking
allocations without a mutex first and if that fails, we fallback to a
blocking allocations with a mutex.

Mikulas Patocka cf2f1abfbd dm crypt: don't allocate pages for a partial request
Change crypt_alloc_buffer so that it only ever allocates pages for a
full request.  This is a prerequisite for the commit "dm crypt: offload
writes to thread".

This change simplifies the dm-crypt code at the expense of reduced
throughput in low memory conditions (where allocation for a partial
request is most useful).

Note: the next commit ("dm crypt: avoid deadlock in mempools") is needed
to fix a theoretical deadlock.
