Mike Snitzer 665022d72f dm cache: avoid calls to prealloc_free_structs() if possible
If no work was performed then prealloc_data_structs() wasn't ever called
so there isn't any need to call prealloc_free_structs().

Mike Snitzer bcc696fac1 dm thin: stay in out-of-data-space mode once no_space_timeout expires
This fixes an issue where running out of data space would cause the
thin-pool's metadata to become read-only.  There was no reason to make
metadata read-only -- calling set_pool_mode() with PM_READ_ONLY was a
misguided way to error all queued and future write IOs.  We can
accomplish the same by degrading from PM_OUT_OF_DATA_SPACE to
PM_OUT_OF_DATA_SPACE with error_if_no_space enabled.

Otherwise, the use of PM_READ_ONLY could cause a race where commit() was
started before the PM_READ_ONLY transition but dm_pool_commit_metadata()
would go on to fail because the block manager had transitioned to
read-only.  The return of -EPERM from dm_pool_commit_metadata(), due to
attempting to commit while in read-only mode, caused the thin-pool to
set 'needs_check' because a metadata_operation_failed().  This needless
cascade of failures makes life for users more difficult than needed.

Mike Snitzer 621739b00e Revert "dm: only run the queue on completion if congested or no requests pending"
This reverts commit 9a0e609e3f.
(Resolved a conflict during revert due to commit bfebd1cdb4 that came
after)

This revert is motivated by a couple failure reports on request-based DM
multipath testbeds:
1) Netapp reported that their multipath fault injection test under heavy
   IO load can stall longer than 300 seconds.
2) IBM reported elevated lock contention in their testbed (likely due to
   increased back pressure due to IO not being dispatched as quickly):

Mike Snitzer bb8bd38b9a bio integrity: do not assume bio_integrity_pool exists if bioset exists
bio_integrity_alloc() and bio_integrity_free() assume that if a bio was
allocated from a bioset that that bioset also had its bio_integrity_pool
allocated using bioset_integrity_create().  This is a very bad
assumption given that bioset_create() and bioset_integrity_create() are
completely disjoint.  Not all callers of bioset_create() have been
trained to also call bioset_integrity_create() -- and they may not care
to be.

Fix this by falling back to kmalloc'ing 'struct bio_integrity_payload'
rather than force all bioset consumers to (wastefully) preallocate a
bio_integrity_pool that they very likely won't actually need (given the
niche nature of the current block integrity support).

Otherwise, a NULL pointer "Kernel BUG" with a trace like the following
will be observed (as seen on s390x using zfcp storage) because dm-io
doesn't use bioset_integrity_create() when creating its bioset:

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:

Mike Snitzer bccab6a01a dm cache: switch the "default" cache replacement policy from mq to smq
The Stochastic multiqueue (SMQ) policy (vs MQ) offers the promise of
less memory utilization, improved performance and increased adaptability
in the face of changing workloads.  SMQ also does not have any
cumbersome tuning knobs.

Users may switch from "mq" to "smq" simply by appropriately reloading a
DM table that is using the cache target.  Doing so will cause all of the
mq policy's hints to be dropped.  Also, performance of the cache may
degrade slightly until smq recalculates the origin device's hotspots
that should be cached.

In the future the "mq" policy will just silently make use of "smq" and
the mq code will be removed.

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).

Mike Snitzer 326e1dbb57 block: remove management of bi_remaining when restoring original bi_end_io
Commit c4cf5261 ("bio: skip atomic inc/dec of ->bi_remaining for
non-chains") regressed all existing callers that followed this pattern:
 1) saving a bio's original bi_end_io
 2) wiring up an intermediate bi_end_io
 3) restoring the original bi_end_io from intermediate bi_end_io
 4) calling bio_endio() to execute the restored original bi_end_io

The regression was due to BIO_CHAIN only ever getting set if
bio_inc_remaining() is called.  For the above pattern it isn't set until
step 3 above (step 2 would've needed to establish BIO_CHAIN).  As such
the first bio_endio(), in step 2 above, never decremented __bi_remaining
before calling the intermediate bi_end_io -- leaving __bi_remaining with
the value 1 instead of 0.  When bio_inc_remaining() occurred during step
3 it brought it to a value of 2.  When the second bio_endio() was
called, in step 4 above, it should've called the original bi_end_io but
it didn't because there was an extra reference that wasn't dropped (due
to atomic operations being optimized away since BIO_CHAIN wasn't set
upfront).

Fix this issue by removing the __bi_remaining management complexity for
all callers that use the above pattern -- bio_chain() is the only
interface that _needs_ to be concerned with __bi_remaining.  For the
above pattern callers just expect the bi_end_io they set to get called!
Remove bio_endio_nodec() and also remove all bio_inc_remaining() calls
that aren't associated with the bio_chain() interface.

Also, the bio_inc_remaining() interface has been moved local to bio.c.

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.

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

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 e9637415a9 block: fix blk_stack_limits() regression due to lcm() change
Linux 3.19 commit 69c953c ("lib/lcm.c: lcm(n,0)=lcm(0,n) is 0, not n")
caused blk_stack_limits() to not properly stack queue_limits for stacked
devices (e.g. DM).

Fix this regression by establishing lcm_not_zero() and switching
blk_stack_limits() over to using it.

DM uses blk_set_stacking_limits() to establish the initial top-level
queue_limits that are then built up based on underlying devices' limits
using blk_stack_limits().  In the case of optimal_io_size (io_opt)
blk_set_stacking_limits() establishes a default value of 0.  With commit
69c953c, lcm(0, n) is no longer n, which compromises proper stacking of
the underlying devices' io_opt.

Test:
$ modprobe scsi_debug dev_size_mb=10 num_tgts=1 opt_blks=1536
$ cat /sys/block/sde/queue/optimal_io_size

Add a variant of blk_mq_init_queue that allows a previously allocated

blk_init_allocated_queue -- which was also created for DM's use.

DM's approach to device creation requires a placeholder request_queue be
allocated for use with alloc_dev() but the decision about what type of
request_queue will be ultimately created is deferred until all component
devices referenced in the DM table are processed to determine the table
type (request-based, blk-mq request-based, or bio-based).

Also, because of DM's late finalization of the request_queue type
the call to blk_mq_register_disk() doesn't happen during alloc_dev().
Must export blk_mq_register_disk() so that DM can backfill the 'mq' dir
once the blk-mq queue is fully allocated.

Mike Snitzer e5863d9ad7 dm: allocate requests in target when stacking on blk-mq devices
For blk-mq request-based DM the responsibility of allocating a cloned
request is transfered from DM core to the target type.  Doing so
enables the cloned request to be allocated from the appropriate
blk-mq request_queue's pool (only the DM target, e.g. multipath, can
know which block device to send a given cloned request to).

Care was taken to preserve compatibility with old-style block request
completion that requires request-based DM _not_ acquire the clone
request's queue lock in the completion path.  As such, there are now 2
different request-based DM target_type interfaces:
1) the original .map_rq() interface will continue to be used for
   non-blk-mq devices -- the preallocated clone request is passed in
   from DM core.
2) a new .clone_and_map_rq() and .release_clone_rq() will be used for
   blk-mq devices -- blk_get_request() and blk_put_request() are used
   respectively from these hooks.

dm_table_set_type() was updated to detect if the request-based target is
being stacked on blk-mq devices, if so DM_TYPE_MQ_REQUEST_BASED is set.
DM core disallows switching the DM table's type after it is set.  This
means that there is no mixing of non-blk-mq and blk-mq devices within
the same request-based DM table.

Mike Snitzer d200c30ef0 dm thin: fix pool_io_hints to avoid looking at max_hw_sectors
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.

Rename dm_internal_{suspend,resume} to dm_internal_{suspend,resume}_fast
-- dm-stats will continue using these methods to avoid all the extra
suspend/resume logic that is not needed in order to quickly flush IO.

Introduce dm_internal_suspend_noflush() variant that actually calls the
mapped_device's target callbacks -- otherwise target-specific hooks are
avoided (e.g. dm-thin's thin_presuspend and thin_postsuspend).  Common
code between dm_internal_{suspend_noflush,resume} and
dm_{suspend,resume} was factored out as __dm_{suspend,resume}.

Update dm_internal_{suspend_noflush,resume} to always take and release
the mapped_device's suspend_lock.  Also update dm_{suspend,resume} to be
aware of potential for DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG to be set and respond
accordingly by interruptibly waiting for the DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG to
be cleared.  Add lockdep annotation to dm_suspend() and dm_resume().

The existing DM_SUSPEND_FLAG remains unchanged.
DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG is set by dm_internal_suspend_noflush() and
cleared by dm_internal_resume().

Both DM_SUSPEND_FLAG and DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG may be set if a device
was already suspended when dm_internal_suspend_noflush() was called --
this can be thought of as a "nested suspend".  A "nested suspend" can
occur with legacy userspace dm-thin code that might suspend all active
thin volumes before suspending the pool for resize.

But otherwise, in the normal dm-thin-pool suspend case moving forward:
the thin-pool will have DM_SUSPEND_FLAG set and all active thins from
that thin-pool will have DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG set.

Also add DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG to status report.  This new
DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG state is being reported to assist with
debugging (e.g. 'dmsetup info' will report an internally suspended
device accordingly).

Mike Snitzer b8839b8c55 block: fix alignment_offset math that assumes io_min is a power-of-2
The math in both blk_stack_limits() and queue_limit_alignment_offset()
assume that a block device's io_min (aka minimum_io_size) is always a
power-of-2.  Fix the math such that it works for non-power-of-2 io_min.

This issue (of alignment_offset != 0) became apparent when testing
dm-thinp with a thinp blocksize that matches a RAID6 stripesize of
1280K.  Commit fdfb4c8c1 ("dm thin: set minimum_io_size to pool's data
block size") unlocked the potential for alignment_offset != 0 due to
the dm-thin-pool's io_min possibly being a non-power-of-2.

Mike Snitzer b277da0a8a block: disable entropy contributions for nonrot devices
Clear QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM in all block drivers that set
QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT.

Historically, all block devices have automatically made entropy
contributions.  But as previously stated in commit e2e1a148 ("block: add
sysfs knob for turning off disk entropy contributions"):
    - On SSD disks, the completion times aren't as random as they
      are for rotational drives. So it's questionable whether they
      should contribute to the random pool in the first place.
    - Calling add_disk_randomness() has a lot of overhead.

There are more reliable sources for randomness than non-rotational block
devices.  From a security perspective it is better to err on the side of
caution than to allow entropy contributions from unreliable "random"
sources.

Before, if the block layer's limit stacking didn't establish an
optimal_io_size that was compatible with the cache's data block size
we'd set optimal_io_size to the data block size and minimum_io_size to 0
(which the block layer adjusts to be physical_block_size).

Update cache_io_hints() to set both minimum_io_size and optimal_io_size

The block size for the thin-pool's data device must remained fixed for
the life of the thin-pool.  Disallow any attempt to change the
thin-pool's data block size.

It should be noted that attempting to change the data block size via
thin-pool table reload will be ignored as a side-effect of the thin-pool

Here is an example outcome of attempting to load a thin-pool table that
reduced the thin-pool's data block size from 1024K to 512K.

Before:
kernel: device-mapper: thin: 253:4: growing the data device from 204800 to 409600 blocks

After:
kernel: device-mapper: thin metadata: changing the data block size (from 2048 to 1024) is not supported

Mike Snitzer 7eee4ae2db dm: disable WRITE SAME if it fails
Add DM core support for disabling WRITE SAME on first failure to both
request-based and bio-based targets.  The need to disable WRITE SAME
stems from SCSI enabling it by default but then disabling it when it
fails.  When SCSI does this it returns "permanent target failure, do
not retry" using -EREMOTEIO.  Update DM core to only disable WRITE SAME
on failure if the returned error is -EREMOTEIO.

Commit f84cb8a4 ("dm mpath: disable WRITE SAME if it fails")
implemented multipath specific disabling of WRITE SAME if it fails.
However, as that commit detailed, the multipath-only solution doesn't go
far enough if bio-based DM targets are stacked ontop of the
request-based dm-multipath target (as is commonly done using dm-linear
to support partitions on multipath devices, via kpartx).

Mike Snitzer 67324ea188 dm thin: sort the per thin deferred bios using an rb_tree
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).

The thin-pool previously only had a single deferred_bios list that would
collect bios for all thin devices in the pool.  Split this per-pool
deferred_bios list out to per-thin deferred_bios_list -- doing so
enables increased parallelism when processing deferred bios.  And now
that each thin device has it's own deferred_bios_list we can sort all
bios in the list using logical sector.  The requeue code in error
handling path is also cleaner as a side-effect.

Mike Snitzer d132cc6d9e dm cache: prevent corruption caused by discard_block_size > cache_block_size
If the discard block size is larger than the cache block size we will
not properly quiesce IO to a region that is about to be discarded.  This
results in a race between a cache migration where no copy is needed, and
a write to an adjacent cache block that's within the same large discard
block.

Workaround this by limiting the discard_block_size to cache_block_size.
Also limit the max_discard_sectors to cache_block_size.

A more comprehensive fix that introduces range locking support in the
bio_prison and proper quiescing of a discard range that spans multiple
cache blocks is already in development.
