Mikulas Patocka dbba42d8a9 dm: eliminate unused "bioset" process for each bio-based DM device
Commit 54efd50bfd ("block: make
generic_make_request handle arbitrarily sized bios") makes it possible
for block devices to process large bios.  In doing so that commit
allocates a new queue->bio_split bioset for each block device, this
bioset is used for allocating bios when the driver needs to split large
bios.

Each bioset allocates a workqueue process, thus the above commit
increases the number of processes allocated per block device.

DM doesn't need the queue->bio_split bioset, thus we can deallocate it.
This reduces the number of allocated processes per bio-based DM device
from 3 to 2.  Also remove the call to blk_queue_split(), it is not
needed because DM does its own splitting.

Mikulas Patocka ad5f498f61 dm: initialize non-blk-mq queue data before queue is used
Commit bfebd1cdb4 ("dm: add full blk-mq
support to request-based DM") moves the initialization of the fields
backing_dev_info.congested_fn, backing_dev_info.congested_data and
queuedata from the function dm_init_md_queue (that is called when the
device is created) to dm_init_old_md_queue (that is called after the
device type is determined).

There is no locking when accessing these variables, thus it is possible
for other parts of the kernel to briefly see this data in a transient
state (e.g. queue->backing_dev_info.congested_fn initialized and
md->queue->backing_dev_info.congested_data uninitialized, resulting in
passing an incorrect parameter to the function dm_any_congested).

This queue data is left initialized for blk-mq devices even though they
that don't use it.

Junichi Nomura 50887bd139 dm: fix request-based dm error reporting
end_clone_bio() is a endio callback for clone bio and should check
and save the clone's bi_error for error reporting.  However,
4246a0b63b ("block: add a bi_error field to struct bio") changed
the function to check the original bio's bi_error, which is 0.

Without this fix, clone's error is ignored and reported to the
original request as success.  Thus data corruption will be observed.

 - improve DM-snapshot to not invalidate the on-disk snapshot if
   snapshot device write overflow occurs; but a write overflow triggered
   through the origin device will still invalidate the snapshot.

 - optimize DM-thinp's async discard submission a bit now that late bio
   splitting has been included in block core.

 - switch DM-cache's SMQ policy lock from using a mutex to a spinlock;
   improves performance on very low latency devices (eg. NVMe SSD).

 - document DM RAID 4/5/6's discard support

[ I did not pull the slab changes, which weren't appropriate for this

   - Cleanup of the bio IO error signaling from Christoph.  We used to

   - Improvement of the above from myself, by shrinking the bio size
     down again to fit in two cachelines on x86-64.

   - Revert of the max_hw_sectors cap removal from a revision again,
     from Jeff Moyer.  This caused performance regressions in various
     tests.  Reinstate the limit, bump it to a more reasonable size
     instead.

   - Make /sys/block/<dev>/queue/discard_max_bytes writeable, by me.
     Most devices have huge trim limits, which can cause nasty latencies
     when deleting files.  Enable the admin to configure the size down.
     We will look into having a more sane default instead of UINT_MAX
     sectors.

   - Improvement of the SGP gaps logic from Keith Busch.

   - Enable the block core to handle arbitrarily sized bios, which
     enables a nice simplification of bio_add_page() (which is an IO hot
     path).  From Kent.

   - Improvements to the partition io stats accounting, making it
     faster.  From Ming Lei.

   - Also from Ming Lei, a basic fixup for overflow of the sysfs pending
     file in blk-mq, as well as a fix for a blk-mq timeout race
     condition.

   - Ming Lin has been carrying Kents above mentioned patches forward
     for a while, and testing them.  Ming also did a few fixes around
     that.

   - Sasha Levin found and fixed a use-after-free problem introduced by
     the bio->bi_error changes from Christoph.

Kent Overstreet 54efd50bfd block: make generic_make_request handle arbitrarily sized bios
The way the block layer is currently written, it goes to great lengths
to avoid having to split bios; upper layer code (such as bio_add_page())
checks what the underlying device can handle and tries to always create
bios that don't need to be split.

But this approach becomes unwieldy and eventually breaks down with
stacked devices and devices with dynamic limits, and it adds a lot of
complexity. If the block layer could split bios as needed, we could
eliminate a lot of complexity elsewhere - particularly in stacked
drivers. Code that creates bios can then create whatever size bios are
convenient, and more importantly stacked drivers don't have to deal with
both their own bio size limitations and the limitations of the
(potentially multiple) devices underneath them.  In the future this will
let us delete merge_bvec_fn and a bunch of other code.

We do this by adding calls to blk_queue_split() to the various
make_request functions that need it - a few can already handle arbitrary
size bios. Note that we add the call _after_ any call to
blk_queue_bounce(); this means that blk_queue_split() and
blk_recalc_rq_segments() don't need to be concerned with bouncing
affecting segment merging.

Some make_request_fn() callbacks were simple enough to audit and verify
they don't need blk_queue_split() calls. The skipped ones are:

 * nfhd_make_request (arch/m68k/emu/nfblock.c)
 * axon_ram_make_request (arch/powerpc/sysdev/axonram.c)
 * simdisk_make_request (arch/xtensa/platforms/iss/simdisk.c)
 * brd_make_request (ramdisk - drivers/block/brd.c)
 * mtip_submit_request (drivers/block/mtip32xx/mtip32xx.c)
 * loop_make_request
 * null_queue_bio
 * bcache's make_request fns

Some others are almost certainly safe to remove now, but will be left
for future patches.

In hindsight the correct fix, at the time 1c220c69 was applied to fix
the regression that 148e51ba introduced, should've been to simply revert

Christoph Hellwig 4246a0b63b block: add a bi_error field to struct bio
Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:

 (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
 (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback

The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario.  Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.

So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

Linux 4.2-rc1 Commit 0f20972f7b ("dm: factor out a common

cleanup, so that it destroys the mapped_device's srcu structure
'io_barrier' before destroying its workqueue.

The function that is executed on the workqueue (dm_wq_work) uses the srcu
structure, thus it may use it after being freed.  That results in a
crash in the LVM test suite's mirror-vgreduce-removemissing.sh test.

Mike Snitzer 78d8e58a08 Revert "block, dm: don't copy bios for request clones"
This reverts commit 5f1b670d0b.

Justification for revert as reported in this dm-devel post:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-June/msg00160.html

this change should not be pushed to mainline yet.

Firstly, Christoph has a newer version of the patch that fixes silent
data corruption problem:
  https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-May/msg00229.html

And the new version still depends on LLDDs to always complete requests
to the end when error happens, while block API doesn't enforce such a
requirement. If the assumption is ever broken, the inconsistency between
request and bio (e.g. rq->__sector and rq->bio) will cause silent data
corruption:

Tejun Heo 4452226ea2 writeback: move backing_dev_info->state into bdi_writeback
Currently, a bdi (backing_dev_info) embeds single wb (bdi_writeback)
and the role of the separation is unclear.  For cgroup support for
writeback IOs, a bdi will be updated to host multiple wb's where each
wb serves writeback IOs of a different cgroup on the bdi.  To achieve
that, a wb should carry all states necessary for servicing writeback
IOs for a cgroup independently.

This patch moves bdi->state into wb.

* enum bdi_state is renamed to wb_state and the prefix of all enums is
  changed from BDI_ to WB_.

* Explicit zeroing of bdi->state is removed without adding zeoring of
  wb->state as the whole data structure is zeroed on init anyway.

* As there's still only one bdi_writeback per backing_dev_info, all
  uses of bdi->state are mechanically replaced with bdi->wb.state
  introducing no behavior changes.

More often than not a request that is requeued _is_ mapped (meaning the
clone request is allocated and clone->q is initialized).  Rename
dm_requeue_unmapped_original_request() to avoid potential confusion due

Also, remove dm_requeue_unmapped_request() since callers can easily call

Joe Thornber 1c220c69ce dm: fix casting bug in dm_merge_bvec()
dm_merge_bvec() was originally added in f6fccb ("dm: introduce
merge_bvec_fn").  In that commit a value in sectors is converted to
bytes using << 9, and then assigned to an int.  This code made
assumptions about the value of BIO_MAX_SECTORS.

A later commit 148e51 ("dm: improve documentation and code clarity in
dm_merge_bvec") was meant to have no functional change but it removed
the use of BIO_MAX_SECTORS in favor of using queue_max_sectors().  At
this point the cast from sector_t to int resulted in a zero value.  The
fallout being dm_merge_bvec() would only allow a single page to be added
to a bio.

This interim fix is minimal for the benefit of stable@ because the more
comprehensive cleanup of passing a sector_t to all DM targets' merge
function will impact quite a few DM targets.

Mike Snitzer e5d8de32cc dm: fix false warning in free_rq_clone() for unmapped requests
When stacking request-based dm device on non blk-mq device and
device-mapper target could not map the request (error target is used,
multipath target with all paths down, etc), the WARN_ON_ONCE() in
free_rq_clone() will trigger when it shouldn't.

The warning was added by commit aa6df8d ("dm: fix free_rq_clone() NULL
pointer when requeueing unmapped request").  But free_rq_clone() with
clone->q == NULL is valid usage for the case where
dm_kill_unmapped_request() initiates request cleanup.

Fix this false warning by just removing the WARN_ON -- it only generated
false positives and was never useful in catching the intended case
(completing clone request not being mapped e.g. clone->q being NULL).

Junichi Nomura 3a1407559a dm: fix NULL pointer when clone_and_map_rq returns !DM_MAPIO_REMAPPED
When stacking request-based DM on blk_mq device, request cloning and
remapping are done in a single call to target's clone_and_map_rq().
The clone is allocated and valid only if clone_and_map_rq() returns
DM_MAPIO_REMAPPED.

The "IS_ERR(clone)" check in map_request() does not cover all the
!DM_MAPIO_REMAPPED cases that are possible (E.g. if underlying devices
are not ready or unavailable, clone_and_map_rq() may return
DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE without ever having established an ERR_PTR).  Fix this
by explicitly checking for a return that is not DM_MAPIO_REMAPPED in
map_request().

Without this fix, DM core may call setup_clone() for a NULL clone
and oops like this:

Christoph Hellwig 5f1b670d0b block, dm: don't copy bios for request clones
Currently dm-multipath has to clone the bios for every request sent
to the lower devices, which wastes cpu cycles and ties down memory.

This patch instead adds a new REQ_CLONE flag that instructs req_bio_endio
to not complete bios attached to a request, which we set on clone
requests similar to bios in a flush sequence.  With this change I/O
errors on a path failure only get propagated to dm-multipath, which
can then either resubmit the I/O or complete the bios on the original
request.

I've done some basic testing of this on a Linux target with ALUA support,
and it survives path failures during I/O nicely.

Mike Snitzer aa6df8dd28 dm: fix free_rq_clone() NULL pointer when requeueing unmapped request
Commit 022333427a ("dm: optimize dm_mq_queue_rq to _not_ use kthread if
using pure blk-mq") mistakenly removed free_rq_clone()'s clone->q check
before testing clone->q->mq_ops.  It was an oversight to discontinue
that check for 1 of the 2 use-cases for free_rq_clone():
1) free_rq_clone() called when an unmapped original request is requeued
2) free_rq_clone() called in the request-based IO completion path

The clone->q check made sense for case #1 but not for #2.  However, we
cannot just reinstate the check as it'd mask a serious bug in the IO
completion case #2 -- no in-flight request should have an uninitialized
request_queue (basic block layer refcounting _should_ ensure this).

The NULL pointer seen for case #1 is detailed here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-April/msg00160.html

Fix this free_rq_clone() NULL pointer by simply checking if the
mapped_device's type is DM_TYPE_MQ_REQUEST_BASED (clone's queue is
blk-mq) rather than checking clone->q->mq_ops.  This avoids the need to
dereference clone->q, but a WARN_ON_ONCE is added to let us know if an
uninitialized clone request is being completed.

Christoph Hellwig 3e6180f0c8 dm: only initialize the request_queue once
Commit bfebd1cdb4 ("dm: add full blk-mq support to request-based DM")
didn't properly account for the need to short-circuit re-initializing
DM's blk-mq request_queue if it was already initialized.

Otherwise, reloading a blk-mq request-based DM table (either manually
or via multipathd) resulted in errors, see:
 https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-April/msg00132.html

Fix is to only initialize the request_queue on the initial table load
(when the mapped_device type is assigned).

This is better than having dm_init_request_based_blk_mq_queue() return
early if the queue was already initialized because it elevates the
constraint to a more meaningful location in DM core.  As such the
pre-existing early return in dm_init_request_based_queue() can now be
removed.

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.

Mike Snitzer 022333427a dm: optimize dm_mq_queue_rq to _not_ use kthread if using pure blk-mq
dm_mq_queue_rq() is in atomic context so care must be taken to not
sleep -- as such GFP_ATOMIC is used for the md->bs bioset allocations
and dm-mpath's call to blk_get_request().  In the future the bioset
allocations will hopefully go away (by removing support for partial
completions of bios in a cloned request).

Also prepare for supporting DM blk-mq ontop of old-style request_fn
device(s) if a new dm-mod 'use_blk_mq' parameter is set.  The kthread
will still be used to queue work if blk-mq is used ontop of old-style
request_fn device(s).

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.

Mike Snitzer de3ec86dff dm: don't start current request if it would've merged with the previous
Request-based DM's dm_request_fn() is so fast to pull requests off the
queue that steps need to be taken to promote merging by avoiding request
processing if it makes sense.

If the current request would've merged with previous request let the
current request stay on the queue longer.

Mike Snitzer 9a0e609e3f dm: only run the queue on completion if congested or no requests pending
On really fast storage it can be beneficial to delay running the
request_queue to allow the elevator more opportunity to merge requests.

Otherwise, it has been observed that requests are being sent to
q->request_fn much quicker than is ideal on IOPS-bound backends.

Mike Snitzer ff36ab3458 dm: remove request-based logic from make_request_fn wrapper
The old dm_request() method used for q->make_request_fn had a branch for
request-based DM support but it isn't needed given that
dm_init_request_based_queue() sets it to the standard blk_queue_bio()
anyway.

Cleanup dm_init_md_queue() to be DM device-type agnostic and have
dm_setup_md_queue() properly finish queue setup based on DM device-type
(bio-based vs request-based).

A followup block patch can be made to remove the export for
blk_queue_bio() now that DM no longer calls it directly.
