Merge tag 'kvm-arm-for-4.1-take2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvmarm/kvmarm into kvm-master
KVM/ARM changes for v4.1, take #2:
Rather small this time:
- a fix for a nasty bug with virtual IRQ injection
- a fix for irqfd
When userland injects a SPI via the KVM_IRQ_LINE ioctl we currently
only check it against a fixed limit, which historically is set
to 127. With the new dynamic IRQ allocation the effective limit may
actually be smaller (64).
So when now a malicious or buggy userland injects a SPI in that
range, we spill over on our VGIC bitmaps and bytemaps memory.
I could trigger a host kernel NULL pointer dereference with current
mainline by injecting some bogus IRQ number from a hacked kvmtool:
-----------------
....
DEBUG: kvm_vgic_inject_irq(kvm, cpu=0, irq=114, level=1)
DEBUG: vgic_update_irq_pending(kvm, cpu=0, irq=114, level=1)
DEBUG: IRQ #114 still in the game, writing to bytemap now...

So this patch fixes this by checking the SPI number against the
actual limit. Also we remove the former legacy hard limit of
127 in the ioctl code.

As Guenter pointed out, we were never really calculating the extable entry
size because the pointer arithmetic was simply wrong. We want to check
we're handling the second relocation in __ex_table to infer an entry size,
but we were using (void*) pointers instead of Elf_Rel[a]* ones.
This fixes the problem by moving that check in the caller (since we can
deal with different types of relocations) and add is_second_extable_reloc()
to make the whole thing more readable.

This was leading to a divide-by-zero on some architectures and make the

When array is degraded, read data landed on failed drives will result in
reading rest of data in a stripe. So a single sequential read would
result in same data being read twice.
This patch is to avoid chunk aligned read for degraded array. The
downside is to involve stripe cache which means associated CPU overhead
and extra memory copy.
Test Results:
Following test are done on a enterprise storage node with Seagate 6T SAS
drives and Xeon E5-2648L CPU (10 cores, 1.9Ghz), 10 disks MD RAID6 8+2,
chunk size 128 KiB.
I use FIO, using direct-io with various bs size, enough queue depth,
tested sequential and 100% random read against 3 array config:
1) optimal, as baseline;
2) degraded;
3) degraded with this patch.
Kernel version is 4.0-rc3.
Each individual test I only did once so there might be some variations,
but we just focus on big trend.
Sequential Read:
bs=(KiB) optimal(MiB/s) degraded(MiB/s) degraded-with-patch (MiB/s)
1024 1608 656 995
512 1624 710 956

16 1368 688 986

Random Read:

16 900 970 971
8 927 940 929
4 948 940 955
Some notes:
* In sequential + optimal, as bs size getting smaller, the FIO thread
become CPU bound.
* In sequential + degraded, there's big increase when bs is 64K and
32K, I don't have explanation.
* In sequential + degraded-with-patch, the MD thread mostly become CPU
bound.
If you want to we can discuss specific data point in those data. But in
general it seems with this patch, we have more predictable and in most
cases significant better sequential read performance when array is
degraded, and almost no noticeable impact on random read.
Performance is a complicated thing, the patch works well for this
particular configuration, but may not be universal. For example I
imagine testing on all SSD array may have very different result. But I
personally think in most cases IO bandwidth is more scarce resource than
CPU.

The default setting of 256 stripe_heads is probably
much too small for many configurations. So it is best to make it
auto-configure.
Shrinking the cache under memory pressure is easy. The only
interesting part here is that we put a fairly high cost
('seeks') on shrinking the cache as the cost is greater than
just having to read more data, it reduces parallelism.
Growing the cache on demand needs to be done carefully. If we allow
fast growth, that can upset memory balance as lots of dirty memory can
quickly turn into lots of memory queued in the stripe_cache.
It is important for the raid5 block device to appear congested to
allow write-throttling to work.
So we only add stripes slowly. We set a flag when an allocation
fails because all stripes are in use, allocate at a convenient
time when that flag is set, and don't allow it to be set again
until at least one stripe_head has been released for re-use.
This means that a spurt of requests will only cause one stripe_head
to be allocated, but a steady stream of requests will slowly
increase the cache size - until memory pressure puts it back again.
It could take hours to reach a steady state.
The value written to, and displayed in, stripe_cache_size is
used as a minimum. The cache can grow above this and shrink back
down to it. The actual size is not directly visible, though it can
be deduced to some extent by watching stripe_cache_active.

Rather than adjusting max_nr_stripes whenever {grow,drop}_one_stripe()
succeeds, do it inside the functions.
Also choose the correct hash to handle next inside the functions.
This removes duplication and will help with future new uses of
{grow,drop}_one_stripe.
This also fixes a minor bug where the "md/raid:%md: allocate XXkB"
message always said "0kB".

Depending on the available coding we allow optimized rmw logic for write
operations. To support easier testing this patch allows manual control
of the rmw/rcw descision through the interface /sys/block/mdX/md/rmw_level.
The configuration can handle three levels of control.
rmw_level=0: Disable rmw for all RAID types. Hardware assisted P/Q
calculation has no implementation path yet to factor in/out chunks of
a syndrome. Enforcing this level can be benefical for slow CPUs with
hardware syndrome support and fast SSDs.
rmw_level=1: Estimate rmw IOs and rcw IOs. Execute rmw only if we will
save IOs. This equals the "old" unpatched behaviour and will be the
default.
rmw_level=2: Execute rmw even if calculated IOs for rmw and rcw are
equal. We might have higher CPU consumption because of calculating the
parity twice but it can be benefical otherwise. E.g. RAID4 with fast
dedicated parity disk/SSD. The option is implemented just to be
forward-looking and will ONLY work with this patch!

Glue it altogehter. The raid6 rmw path should work the same as the
already existing raid5 logic. So emulate the prexor handling/flags
and split functions as needed.
1) Enable xor_syndrome() in the async layer.
2) Split ops_run_prexor() into RAID4/5 and RAID6 logic. Xor the syndrome
at the start of a rmw run as we did it before for the single parity.
3) Take care of rmw run in ops_run_reconstruct6(). Again process only
the changed pages to get syndrome back into sync.
4) Enhance set_syndrome_sources() to fill NULL pages if we are in a rmw
run. The lower layers will calculate start & end pages from that and
call the xor_syndrome() correspondingly.
5) Adapt the several places where we ignored Q handling up to now.

The second and (last) optimized XOR syndrome calculation. This version
supports right and left side optimization. All CPUs with architecture
older than Haswell will benefit from it.
It should be noted that SSE2 movntdq kills performance for memory areas
that are read and written simultaneously in chunks smaller than cache
line size. So use movdqa instead for P/Q writes in sse21 and sse22 XOR
functions.

Start the algorithms with the very basic one. It is left and right
optimized. That means we can avoid all calculations for unneeded pages
above the right stop offset. For pages below the left start offset we
still need the syndrome multiplication but without reading data pages.

It is always helpful to have a test tool in place if we implement
new data critical algorithms. So add some test routines to the raid6
checker that can prove if the new xor_syndrome() works as expected.
Run through all permutations of start/stop pages per algorithm and
simulate a xor_syndrome() assisted rmw run. After each rmw check if
the recovery algorithm still confirms that the stripe is fine.

v3: s-o-b comment, explanation of performance and descision for
the start/stop implementation
Implementing rmw functionality for RAID6 requires optimized syndrome
calculation. Up to now we can only generate a complete syndrome. The
target P/Q pages are always overwritten. With this patch we provide
a framework for inplace P/Q modification. In the first place simply
fill those functions with NULL values.
xor_syndrome() has two additional parameters: start & stop. These
will indicate the first and last page that are changing during a
rmw run. That makes it possible to avoid several unneccessary loops
and speed up calculation. The caller needs to implement the following
logic to make the functions work.
1) xor_syndrome(disks, start, stop, ...): "Remove" all data of source
blocks inside P/Q between (and including) start and end.
2) modify any block with start <= block <= stop
3) xor_syndrome(disks, start, stop, ...): "Reinsert" all data of
source blocks into P/Q between (and including) start and end.
Pages between start and stop that won't be changed should be filled
with a pointer to the kernel zero page. The reasons for not taking NULL
pages are:
1) Algorithms cross the whole source data line by line. Thus avoid
additional branches.
2) Having a NULL page avoids calculating the XOR P parity but still
need calulation steps for the Q parity. Depending on the algorithm
unrolling that might be only a difference of 2 instructions per loop.
The benchmark numbers of the gen_syndrome() functions are displayed in
the kernel log. Do the same for the xor_syndrome() functions. This
will help to analyze performance problems and give an rough estimate
how well the algorithm works. The choice of the fastest algorithm will
still depend on the gen_syndrome() performance.
With the start/stop page implementation the speed can vary a lot in real
life. E.g. a change of page 0 & page 15 on a stripe will be harder to
compute than the case where page 0 & page 1 are XOR candidates. To be not
to enthusiatic about the expected speeds we will run a worse case test
that simulates a change on the upper half of the stripe. So we do:
1) calculation of P/Q for the upper pages
2) continuation of Q for the lower (empty) pages

expansion/resync can grab a stripe when the stripe is in batch list. Since all
stripes in batch list must be in the same state, we can't allow some stripes
run into expansion/resync. So we delay expansion/resync for stripe in batch
list.

stripe cache is 4k size. Even adjacent full stripe writes are handled in 4k
unit. Idealy we should use big size for adjacent full stripe writes. Bigger
stripe cache size means less stripes runing in the state machine so can reduce
cpu overhead. And also bigger size can cause bigger IO size dispatched to under
layer disks.
With below patch, we will automatically batch adjacent full stripe write
together. Such stripes will be added to the batch list. Only the first stripe
of the list will be put to handle_list and so run handle_stripe(). Some steps
of handle_stripe() are extended to cover all stripes of the list, including
ops_run_io, ops_run_biodrain and so on. With this patch, we have less stripes
running in handle_stripe() and we send IO of whole stripe list together to
increase IO size.
Stripes added to a batch list have some limitations. A batch list can only
include full stripe write and can't cross chunk boundary to make sure stripes
have the same parity disks. Stripes in a batch list must be in the same state
(no written, toread and so on). If a stripe is in a batch list, all new
read/write to add_stripe_bio will be blocked to overlap conflict till the batch
list is handled. The limitations will make sure stripes in a batch list be in
exactly the same state in the life circly.
I did test running 160k randwrite in a RAID5 array with 32k chunk size and 6
PCIe SSD. This patch improves around 30% performance and IO size to under layer
disk is exactly 32k. I also run a 4k randwrite test in the same array to make
sure the performance isn't changed with the patch.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
