Bart reported a case where dm would crash with use-after-free
poison. This is due to dm_softirq_done() accessing memory
associated with a request after calling end_request on it.
This is most visible on !blk-mq, since we free the memory
immediately for that case.

There are two issues, introduced by commit 8e58e32(md/raid1: use
bio_clone_bioset_partial() in case of write behind):
- bio_clone_bioset_partial() uses bytes instead of sectors as parameters
- in writebehind mode, we return bio if all !writemostly disk bios finish,
which could happen before writemostly disk bios run. So all
writemostly disk bios should have their bvec. Here we just make sure
all bios are cloned instead of fast cloned.

Commit fd76863 (RAID1: a new I/O barrier implementation to remove resync
window) introduces a user-after-free bug.
Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com>
When I run a parallel reading performan testing on a md raid1 device with
two NVMe SSDs, I observe very bad throughput in supprise: by fio with 64KB
block size, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput is
only 2.7GB/s, this is around 50% of the idea performance number.
The perf reports locking contention happens at allow_barrier() and
wait_barrier() code,
- 41.41% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
- _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
+ 89.92% allow_barrier
+ 9.34% __wake_up
- 37.30% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irq
- _raw_spin_lock_irq
- 100.00% wait_barrier
The reason is, in these I/O barrier related functions,
- raise_barrier()
- lower_barrier()
- wait_barrier()
- allow_barrier()
They always hold conf->resync_lock firstly, even there are only regular
reading I/Os and no resync I/O at all. This is a huge performance penalty.
The solution is a lockless-like algorithm in I/O barrier code, and only
holding conf->resync_lock when it has to.
The original idea is from Hannes Reinecke, and Neil Brown provides
comments to improve it. I continue to work on it, and make the patch into
current form.
In the new simpler raid1 I/O barrier implementation, there are two
wait barrier functions,
- wait_barrier()
Which calls _wait_barrier(), is used for regular write I/O. If there is
resync I/O happening on the same I/O barrier bucket, or the whole
array is frozen, task will wait until no barrier on same barrier bucket,
or the whold array is unfreezed.
- wait_read_barrier()
Since regular read I/O won't interfere with resync I/O (read_balance()
will make sure only uptodate data will be read out), it is unnecessary
to wait for barrier in regular read I/Os, waiting in only necessary
when the whole array is frozen.
The operations on conf->nr_pending[idx], conf->nr_waiting[idx], conf->
barrier[idx] are very carefully designed in raise_barrier(),
lower_barrier(), _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier(), in order to
avoid unnecessary spin locks in these functions. Once conf->
nr_pengding[idx] is increased, a resync I/O with same barrier bucket index
has to wait in raise_barrier(). Then in _wait_barrier() if no barrier
raised in same barrier bucket index and array is not frozen, the regular
I/O doesn't need to hold conf->resync_lock, it can just increase
conf->nr_pending[idx], and return to its caller. wait_read_barrier() is
very similar to _wait_barrier(), the only difference is it only waits when
array is frozen. For heavy parallel reading I/Os, the lockless I/O barrier
code almostly gets rid of all spin lock cost.
This patch significantly improves raid1 reading peroformance. From my
testing, a raid1 device built by two NVMe SSD, runs fio with 64KB
blocksize, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput
increases from 2.7GB/s to 4.6GB/s (+70%).
Changelog
V4:
- Change conf->nr_queued[] to atomic_t.
- Define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS by (PAGE_SHIFT - ilog2(sizeof(atomic_t)))
V3:
- Add smp_mb__after_atomic() as Shaohua and Neil suggested.
- Change conf->nr_queued[] from atomic_t to int.
- Change conf->array_frozen from atomic_t back to int, and use
READ_ONCE(conf->array_frozen) to check value of conf->array_frozen
in _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier().
- In _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier(), add a call to
wake_up(&conf->wait_barrier) after atomic_dec(&conf->nr_pending[idx]),
to fix a deadlock between _wait_barrier()/wait_read_barrier and
freeze_array().
V2:
- Remove a spin_lock/unlock pair in raid1d().
- Add more code comments to explain why there is no racy when checking two
atomic_t variables at same time.
V1:
- Original RFC patch for comments.

'Commit 79ef3a8aa1 ("raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.")'
introduces a sliding resync window for raid1 I/O barrier, this idea limits
I/O barriers to happen only inside a slidingresync window, for regular
I/Os out of this resync window they don't need to wait for barrier any
more. On large raid1 device, it helps a lot to improve parallel writing
I/O throughput when there are background resync I/Os performing at
same time.
The idea of sliding resync widow is awesome, but code complexity is a
challenge. Sliding resync window requires several variables to work
collectively, this is complexed and very hard to make it work correctly.
Just grep "Fixes: 79ef3a8aa1" in kernel git log, there are 8 more patches
to fix the original resync window patch. This is not the end, any further
related modification may easily introduce more regreassion.
Therefore I decide to implement a much simpler raid1 I/O barrier, by
removing resync window code, I believe life will be much easier.
The brief idea of the simpler barrier is,
- Do not maintain a global unique resync window
- Use multiple hash buckets to reduce I/O barrier conflicts, regular
I/O only has to wait for a resync I/O when both them have same barrier
bucket index, vice versa.
- I/O barrier can be reduced to an acceptable number if there are enough
barrier buckets
Here I explain how the barrier buckets are designed,
- BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE
The whole LBA address space of a raid1 device is divided into multiple
barrier units, by the size of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE.
Bio requests won't go across border of barrier unit size, that means
maximum bio size is BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE<<9 (64MB) in bytes.
For random I/O 64MB is large enough for both read and write requests,
for sequential I/O considering underlying block layer may merge them
into larger requests, 64MB is still good enough.
Neil also points out that for resync operation, "we want the resync to
move from region to region fairly quickly so that the slowness caused
by having to synchronize with the resync is averaged out over a fairly
small time frame". For full speed resync, 64MB should take less then 1
second. When resync is competing with other I/O, it could take up a few
minutes. Therefore 64MB size is fairly good range for resync.
- BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR
There are BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR buckets in total, which is defined by,
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS (PAGE_SHIFT - 2)
#define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR (1<<BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS)
this patch makes the bellowed members of struct r1conf from integer
to array of integers,
- int nr_pending;
- int nr_waiting;
- int nr_queued;
- int barrier;
+ int *nr_pending;
+ int *nr_waiting;
+ int *nr_queued;
+ int *barrier;
number of the array elements is defined as BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR. For 4KB
kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O
barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page.
1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size
has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small
enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to
kernel page allocator than larger memory size.
- I/O barrier bucket is indexed by bio start sector
If multiple I/O requests hit different I/O barrier units, they only need
to compete I/O barrier with other I/Os which hit the same I/O barrier
bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a
bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined
in raid1.h as an inline function,
static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector)
{
return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS,
BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS);
}
Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio.
- Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit
If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A
bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if
sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than
original bio size.
Comparing to single sliding resync window,
- Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O
will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is
similar to single sliding resync window.
- But a barrier unit bucket is shared by all barrier units with identical
barrier uinit index, the probability of conflict might be higher
than single sliding resync window, in condition that writing I/Os
always hit barrier units which have identical barrier bucket indexs with
the resync I/Os. This is a very rare condition in real I/O work loads,
I cannot imagine how it could happen in practice.
- Therefore we can achieve a good enough low conflict rate with much
simpler barrier algorithm and implementation.
There are two changes should be noticed,
- In raid1d(), I change the code to decrease conf->nr_pending[idx] into
single loop, it looks like this,
spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags);
conf->nr_queued[idx]--;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags);
This change generates more spin lock operations, but in next patch of
this patch set, it will be replaced by a single line code,
atomic_dec(&conf->nr_queueud[idx]);
So we don't need to worry about spin lock cost here.
- Mainline raid1 code split original raid1_make_request() into
raid1_read_request() and raid1_write_request(). If the original bio
goes across an I/O barrier unit size, this bio will be split before
calling raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request(), this change
the code logic more simple and clear.
- In this patch wait_barrier() is moved from raid1_make_request() to
raid1_write_request(). In raid_read_request(), original wait_barrier()
is replaced by raid1_read_request().
The differnece is wait_read_barrier() only waits if array is frozen,
using different barrier function in different code path makes the code
more clean and easy to read.

Commit df2cb6daa4 ("block: Avoid deadlocks with bio allocation by
stacking drivers") created a workqueue for every bio set and code
in bio_alloc_bioset() that tries to resolve some low-memory deadlocks
by redirecting bios queued on current->bio_list to the workqueue if the
system is low on memory. However other deadlocks (see below **) may
happen, without any low memory condition, because generic_make_request
is queuing bios to current->bio_list (rather than submitting them).
** the related dm-snapshot deadlock is detailed here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2016-July/msg00065.html
Fix this deadlock by redirecting any bios on current->bio_list to the
bio_set's rescue workqueue on every schedule() call. Consequently,
when the process blocks on a mutex, the bios queued on
current->bio_list are dispatched to independent workqueus and they can
complete without waiting for the mutex to be available.
The structure blk_plug contains an entry cb_list and this list can contain
arbitrary callback functions that are called when the process blocks.
To implement this fix DM (ab)uses the onstack plug's cb_list interface
to get its flush_current_bio_list() called at schedule() time.
This fixes the snapshot deadlock - if the map method blocks,
flush_current_bio_list() will be called and it redirects bios waiting
on current->bio_list to appropriate workqueues.

The sloppy nature of lockless access to percpu pointers
(s->current_path) in rr_select_path(), from multiple threads, is
causing some paths to used more than others -- which results in less
IO performance being observed.
Revert these upstream commits to restore truly symmetric round-robin

b0b477c dm round robin: use percpu 'repeat_count' and 'current_path'

Firstly bio_clone_mddev() is used in raid normal I/O and isn't
in resync I/O path.
Secondly all the direct access to bvec table in raid happens on
resync I/O except for write behind of raid1, in which we still
use bio_clone() for allocating new bvec table.
So this patch replaces bio_clone() with bio_clone_fast()
in bio_clone_mddev().
Also kill bio_clone_mddev() and call bio_clone_fast() directly, as
suggested by Christoph Hellwig.

change mddev_put() so that it would not destroy an md device while

Unfortunately, we didn't make sure to clear ->ctime when unloading

module unload. An attempt to open such a device will trigger
an invalid memory reference in:
get_gendisk -> kobj_lookup -> exact_lock -> get_disk
when tring to access disk->fops, which was in the module that has
been removed.
So ensure we clear ->ctime in md_exit(), and explain how that is useful,
as it isn't immediately obvious when looking at the code.

It is important to be able to flush all stripes in raid5-cache.
Therefore, we need reserve some space on the journal device for
these flushes. If flush operation includes pending writes to the
stripe, we need to reserve (conf->raid_disk + 1) pages per stripe
for the flush out. This reduces the efficiency of journal space.
If we exclude these pending writes from flush operation, we only
need (conf->max_degraded + 1) pages per stripe.
With this patch, when log space is critical (R5C_LOG_CRITICAL=1),
pending writes will be excluded from stripe flush out. Therefore,
we can reduce reserved space for flush out and thus improve journal
device efficiency.

Chunk aligned read significantly reduces CPU usage of raid456.
However, it is not safe to fully bypass the write back cache.
This patch enables chunk aligned read with write back cache.
For chunk aligned read, we track stripes in write back cache at
a bigger granularity, "big_stripe". Each chunk may contain more
than one stripe (for example, a 256kB chunk contains 64 4kB-page,
so this chunk contain 64 stripes). For chunk_aligned_read, these
stripes are grouped into one big_stripe, so we only need one lookup
for the whole chunk.
For each big_stripe, struct big_stripe_info tracks how many stripes
of this big_stripe are in the write back cache. We count how many
stripes of this big_stripe are in the write back cache. These
counters are tracked in a radix tree (big_stripe_tree).
r5c_tree_index() is used to calculate keys for the radix tree.
chunk_aligned_read() calls r5c_big_stripe_cached() to look up
big_stripe of each chunk in the tree. If this big_stripe is in the
tree, chunk_aligned_read() aborts. This look up is protected by
rcu_read_lock().
It is necessary to remember whether a stripe is counted in
big_stripe_tree. Instead of adding new flag, we reuses existing flags:
STRIPE_R5C_PARTIAL_STRIPE and STRIPE_R5C_FULL_STRIPE. If either of these
two flags are set, the stripe is counted in big_stripe_tree. This
requires moving set_bit(STRIPE_R5C_PARTIAL_STRIPE) to
r5c_try_caching_write(); and moving clear_bit of
STRIPE_R5C_PARTIAL_STRIPE and STRIPE_R5C_FULL_STRIPE to
r5c_finish_stripe_write_out().

We made raid5 stripe handling multi-thread before. It works well for
SSD. But for harddisk, the multi-threading creates more disk seek, so
not always improve performance. For several hard disks based raid5,
multi-threading is required as raid5d becames a bottleneck especially
for sequential write.
To overcome the disk seek issue, we only dispatch IO from raid5d if the
array is harddisk based. Other threads can still handle stripes, but
can't dispatch IO.
Idealy, we should control IO dispatching order according to IO position
interrnally. Right now we still depend on block layer, which isn't very
efficient sometimes though.
My setup has 9 harddisks, each disk can do around 180M/s sequential
write. So in theory, the raid5 can do 180 * 8 = 1440M/s sequential
write. The test machine uses an ATOM CPU. I measure sequential write
with large iodepth bandwidth to raid array:
without patch: ~600M/s
without patch and group_thread_cnt=4: 750M/s
with patch and group_thread_cnt=4: 950M/s
with patch, group_thread_cnt=4, skip_copy=1: 1150M/s
We are pretty close to the maximum bandwidth in the large iodepth
iodepth case. The performance gap of small iodepth sequential write
between software raid and theory value is still very big though, because
we don't have an efficient pipeline.

Recently I receive a bug report that on Linux v3.0 based kerenl, hot add
disk to a md linear device causes kernel crash at linear_congested(). From
the crash image analysis, I find in linear_congested(), mddev->raid_disks
contains value N, but conf->disks[] only has N-1 pointers available. Then
a NULL pointer deference crashes the kernel.
There is a race between linear_add() and linear_congested(), RCU stuffs
used in these two functions cannot avoid the race. Since Linuv v4.0
RCU code is replaced by introducing mddev_suspend(). After checking the
upstream code, it seems linear_congested() is not called in
generic_make_request() code patch, so mddev_suspend() cannot provent it
from being called. The possible race still exists.
Here I explain how the race still exists in current code. For a machine
has many CPUs, on one CPU, linear_add() is called to add a hard disk to a
md linear device; at the same time on other CPU, linear_congested() is
called to detect whether this md linear device is congested before issuing
an I/O request onto it.
Now I use a possible code execution time sequence to demo how the possible
race happens,
seq linear_add() linear_congested()
0 conf=mddev->private
1 oldconf=mddev->private
2 mddev->raid_disks++
3 for (i=0; i<mddev->raid_disks;i++)
4 bdev_get_queue(conf->disks[i].rdev->bdev)
5 mddev->private=newconf
In linear_add() mddev->raid_disks is increased in time seq 2, and on
another CPU in linear_congested() the for-loop iterates conf->disks[i] by
the increased mddev->raid_disks in time seq 3,4. But conf with one more
element (which is a pointer to struct dev_info type) to conf->disks[] is
not updated yet, accessing its structure member in time seq 4 will cause a
NULL pointer deference fault.
To fix this race, there are 2 parts of modification in the patch,
1) Add 'int raid_disks' in struct linear_conf, as a copy of
mddev->raid_disks. It is initialized in linear_conf(), always being
consistent with pointers number of 'struct dev_info disks[]'. When
iterating conf->disks[] in linear_congested(), use conf->raid_disks to
replace mddev->raid_disks in the for-loop, then NULL pointer deference
will not happen again.
2) RCU stuffs are back again, and use kfree_rcu() in linear_add() to
free oldconf memory. Because oldconf may be referenced as mddev->private
in linear_congested(), kfree_rcu() makes sure that its memory will not
be released until no one uses it any more.
Also some code comments are added in this patch, to make this modification
to be easier understandable.
This patch can be applied for kernels since v4.0 after commit:
3be260cc18 ("md/linear: remove rcu protections in favour of
suspend/resume"). But this bug is reported on Linux v3.0 based kernel, for
people who maintain kernels before Linux v4.0, they need to do some back
back port to this patch.
Changelog:
- V3: add 'int raid_disks' in struct linear_conf, and use kfree_rcu() to
replace rcu_call() in linear_add().
- v2: add RCU stuffs by suggestion from Shaohua and Neil.
- v1: initial effort.

The lockdep splat below hints at a bug in RCU usage in dm-crypt that
was introduced with commit c538f6ec9f ("dm crypt: add ability to use
keys from the kernel key retention service"). The kernel keyring
function user_key_payload() is in fact a wrapper for
rcu_dereference_protected() which must not be called with only
rcu_read_lock() section mark.
Unfortunately the kernel keyring subsystem doesn't currently provide
an interface that allows the use of an RCU read-side section. So for
now we must drop RCU in favour of rwsem until a proper function is
made available in the kernel keyring subsystem.
