Subject : [PATCH v2] bcache: fix a livelock in btree lock
Date : Wed, 25 Feb 2015 20:32:09 +0800 (02/25/2015 04:32:09 AM)
This commit tries to fix a livelock in bcache. This livelock might
happen when we causes a huge number of cache misses simultaneously.
When we get a cache miss, bcache will execute the following path.
->cached_dev_make_request()
->cached_dev_read()
->cached_lookup()
->bch->btree_map_keys()
->btree_root() <------------------------
->bch_btree_map_keys_recurse() |
->cache_lookup_fn() |
->cached_dev_cache_miss() |
->bch_btree_insert_check_key() -|
[If btree->seq is not equal to seq + 1, we should return
EINTR and traverse btree again.]
In bch_btree_insert_check_key() function we first need to check upgrade
flag (op->lock == -1), and when this flag is true we need to release
read btree->lock and try to take write btree->lock. During taking and
releasing this write lock, btree->seq will be monotone increased in
order to prevent other threads modify this in cache miss (see btree.h:74).
But if there are some cache misses caused by some requested, we could
meet a livelock because btree->seq is always changed by others. Thus no
one can make progress.
This commit will try to take write btree->lock if it encounters a race
when we traverse btree. Although it sacrifice the scalability but we
can ensure that only one can modify the btree.

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.

If we goto out_nocoalesce after we free new_nodes[0], we end up freeing
new_nodes[0] again. This was generating a lockdep warning. The fix is
to set new_nodes[0] to NULL, since the out_nocoalesce path safely
ignores NULL entries in the new_nodes array.
This regression was introduced in 2d7f9531.

There's no point in blocking on these allocations, since our fallback paths will
probably go faster than blocking.

this was very wrong - mempool_alloc() only guarantees success with GFP_WAIT.
bcache uses GFP_NOWAIT in various other places where we have a fallback,
circuits must've gotten crossed when writing this code or something.

gc_gen was a temporary used to recalculate last_gc, but since we only need
bucket->last_gc when gc isn't running (gc_mark_valid = 1), we can just update
last_gc directly.

This was originally added as at optimization that for various reasons isn't
needed anymore, but it does add a lot of nasty corner cases (and it was
responsible for some recently fixed bugs). Just get rid of it now.

This changes the bucket allocation reserves to use _real_ reserves - separate
freelists - instead of watermarks, which if nothing else makes the current code
saner to reason about and is going to be important in the future when we add
support for multiple btrees.
It also adds btree_check_reserve(), which checks (and locks) the reserves for
both bucket allocation and memory allocation for btree nodes; the old code just
kinda sorta assumed that since (e.g. for btree node splits) it had the root
locked and that meant no other threads could try to make use of the same
reserve; this technically should have been ok for memory allocation (we should
always have a reserve for memory allocation (the btree node cache is used as a
reserve and we preallocate it)), but multiple btrees will mean that locking the
root won't be sufficient anymore, and for the bucket allocation reserve it was
technically possible for the old code to deadlock.

With the locking rework in the last patch, this shouldn't be needed anymore -
btree_node_write_work() only takes b->write_lock which is never held for very
long.
Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com>
Add a new lock, b->write_lock, which is required to actually modify - or write -
a btree node; this lock is only held for short durations.
This means we can write out a btree node without taking b->lock, which _is_ held
for long durations - solving a deadlock when btree_flush_write() (from the
journalling code) is called with a btree node locked.
Right now just occurs in bch_btree_set_root(), but with an upcoming journalling
rework is going to happen a lot more.
This also turns b->lock is now more of a read/intent lock instead of a
read/write lock - but not completely, since it still blocks readers. May turn it
into a real intent lock at some point in the future.

This isn't a bulletproof fix; btree_node_free() -> bch_bucket_free() puts the
bucket on the unused freelist, where it can be reused right away without any
ordering requirements. It would be better to wait on at least a journal write to
go down before reusing the bucket. bch_btree_set_root() does this, and inserting
into non leaf nodes is completely synchronous so we should be ok, but future
patches are just going to get rid of the unused freelist - it was needed in the
past for various reasons but shouldn't be anymore.

This means the garbage collection code can better check for data and metadata
pointers to the same buckets.
Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com>
The on disk bucket gens are allowed to be out of date, when we reuse buckets
that didn't have any live data in them. To deal with this, the initial gc has to
update the bucket gen when we find a pointer gen newer than the bucket's gen.
Unfortunately we weren't doing this for pointers in the journal that we're about
to replay.

The BUG_ON at the end of __bch_btree_mark_key can be triggered due to
an integer overflow error:
BITMASK(GC_SECTORS_USED, struct bucket, gc_mark, 2, 13);
...
SET_GC_SECTORS_USED(g, min_t(unsigned,
GC_SECTORS_USED(g) + KEY_SIZE(k),
(1 << 14) - 1));
BUG_ON(!GC_SECTORS_USED(g));
In bcache.h, the SECTORS_USED bitfield is defined to be 13 bits wide.
While the SET_ code tries to ensure that the field doesn't overflow by
clamping it to (1<<14)-1 == 16383, this is incorrect because 16383
requires 14 bits. Therefore, if GC_SECTORS_USED() + KEY_SIZE() =
8192, the SET_ statement tries to store 8192 into a 13-bit field. In
a 13-bit field, 8192 becomes zero, thus triggering the BUG_ON.
Therefore, create a field width constant and a max value constant, and
use those to create the bitfield and check the inputs to
SET_GC_SECTORS_USED. Arguably the BITMASK() template ought to have
BUG_ON checks for too-large values, but that's a separate patch.

We need to return -EINTR after a split because we invalidated iterators
(and freed the btree node) - but if we were finished inserting, we don't
want to redo the traversal.

This error path shouldn't have been hit in practice.. and we've got reworked
reserve code coming soon so that it shouldn't _ever_ be bit... but if we've got
code for this error path it should be correct.

We need a reserve for allocating buckets for new btree nodes - and now that
we've got multiple btrees, it really needs to be per btree.
This reworks the reserves so we've got separate freelists for each reserve
instead of watermarks, which seems to make things a bit cleaner, and it adds
some code so that btree_split() can make sure the reserve is available before it
starts.

Dirty data accounting wasn't quite right - firstly, we were adding the key we're
inserting after it could have merged with another dirty key already in the
btree, and secondly we could sometimes pass the wrong offset to
bcache_dev_sectors_dirty_add() for dirty data we were overwriting - which is
important when tracking dirty data by stripe.
NOTE FOR BACKPORTERS: For 3.10 (and 3.11?) there's other accounting fixes
necessary that got squashed in with other patches; the full patch against 3.10

More prep work for immutable biovecs - with immutable bvecs drivers
won't be able to use the biovec directly, they'll need to use helpers
that take into account bio->bi_iter.bi_bvec_done.
This updates callers for the new usage without changing the
implementation yet.
