Commit e80991773 ("dm mpath: push back requests instead of queueing")
modified multipath_busy() to return true if !pg_ready(). pg_ready()
checks the current state of the multipath device and may return false
even if a new IO is needed to change the state.
Bart Van Assche reported that he had multipath IO lockup when he was
performing cable pull tests. Analysis showed that the multipath
device had a single path group with both paths active, but that the
path group itself was not active. During the multipath device state
transitions 'queue_io' got set but nothing could clear it. Clearing
'queue_io' only happens in __choose_pgpath(), but it won't be called
if multipath_busy() returns true due to pg_ready() returning false
when 'queue_io' is set.
As such the !pg_ready() check in multipath_busy() is wrong because new
IO will not be sent to multipath target and the multipath state change
won't happen. That results in multipath IO lockup.
The intent of multipath_busy() is to avoid unnecessary cycles of
dequeue + request_fn + requeue if it is known that the multipath
device will requeue.
Such "busy" situations would be:
- path group is being activated
- there is no path and the multipath is setup to requeue if no path
Fix multipath_busy() to return "busy" early only for these specific
situations.

There's a race condition between the atomic_dec_and_test(&io->count)
in dec_count() and the waking of the sync_io() thread. If the thread
is spuriously woken immediately after the decrement it may exit,
making the on stack io struct invalid, yet the dec_count could still
be using it.
Fix this race by using a completion in sync_io() and dec_count().

The commit 2c140a246d ("dm: allow remove to be deferred") introduced a
deferred removal feature for the device mapper. When this feature is
used (by passing a flag DM_DEFERRED_REMOVE to DM_DEV_REMOVE_CMD ioctl)
and the user tries to remove a device that is currently in use, the
device will be removed automatically in the future when the last user
closes it.
Device mapper used the system workqueue to perform deferred removals.
However, some targets (dm-raid1, dm-mpath, dm-stripe) flush work items
scheduled for the system workqueue from their destructor. If the
destructor itself is called from the system workqueue during deferred
removal, it introduces a possible deadlock - the workqueue tries to flush
itself.
Fix this possible deadlock by introducing a new workqueue for deferred
removals. We allocate just one workqueue for all dm targets. The
ability of dm targets to process IOs isn't dependent on deferred removal
of unused targets, so a deadlock due to shared workqueue isn't possible.
Also, cleanup local_init() to eliminate potential for returning success
on failure.

DM thinp already checks whether the discard_granularity of the data
device is a factor of the thin-pool block size. But when using the
dm-thin-pool's discard passdown support, DM thinp was not selecting the
max of the underlying data device's discard_granularity and the
thin-pool's block size.
Update set_discard_limits() to set discard_granularity to the max of
these values. This enables blkdev_issue_discard() to properly align the
discards that are sent to the DM thin device on a full block boundary.
As such each discard will now cover an entire DM thin-pool block and the
block will be reclaimed.

The raid5 sync_request() processing calls handle_stripe() within the context of
the resync-thread. The resync-thread issues the first set of read requests
and this adds execution latency and slows down the scheduling of the next
sync_request().
The current rebuild/resync speed of raid5 is not much faster than what
rotational HDDs can sustain.
Testing the following patch on a 6-drive array, I can increase the rebuild
speed from 100 MB/s to 175 MB/s.
The sync_request() now just sets STRIPE_HANDLE and releases the stripe. This
creates some more parallelism between the resync-thread and raid5 kernel daemon.

A chunk aligned read increases counter active_aligned_reads and
decreases it after sub-device handle it successfully. But when a read
error occurs, the read redispatched by raid5d, and the
active_aligned_reads will not be decreased until we can grab a stripe
head in retry_aligned_read. Now suppose, a barrier io comes, set
conf->quiesce to 2, and wait until both active_stripes and
active_aligned_reads are zero. The retried chunk aligned read gets
stuck at get_active_stripe waiting until conf->quiesce becomes 0.
Retry_aligned_read and barrier io are waiting each other now.
One possible solution is that we ignore conf->quiesce, let the retried
aligned read finish. I reproduced this deadlock and test this patch on

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).

* Provided a bitmap tagging instead of percpu_ida, which never
really worked well for blk-mq. percpu_ida relies on the fact
that we have a lot more tags available than we really need, it
fails miserably for cases where we exhaust (or are close to
exhausting) the tag space.
* Provide sane support for shared tag maps, as utilized by scsi-mq
* Various fixes for IO timeouts.
* API cleanups, and lots of perf tweaks and optimizations.
- Remove 'buffer' from struct request. This is ancient code, from
when requests were always virtually mapped. Kill it, to reclaim
some space in struct request. From me.
- Remove 'magic' from blk_plug. Since we store these on the stack
and since we've never caught any actual bugs with this, lets just
get rid of it. From me.
- Only call part_in_flight() once for IO completion, as includes two

the part IO stats are now one of the more expensive parts of doing

The stripe cache has two goals:
1. cache data, so next time if data can be found in stripe cache, disk access
can be avoided.
2. stable data. data is copied from bio to stripe cache and calculated parity.
data written to disk is from stripe cache, so if upper layer changes bio data,
data written to disk isn't impacted.
In my environment, I can guarantee 2 will not happen. And BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES
can guarantee 2 too. For 1, it's not common too. block plug mechanism will
dispatch a bunch of sequentail small requests together. And since I'm using
SSD, I'm using small chunk size. It's rare case stripe cache is really useful.
So I'd like to avoid the copy from bio to stripe cache and it's very helpful
for performance. In my 1M randwrite tests, avoid the copy can increase the
performance more than 30%.
Of course, this shouldn't be enabled by default. It's reported enabling
BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES can harm some workloads before, so I added an option to
control it.

The (lockless) release_list reduces lock contention, but there is excessive
queueing and dequeuing of stripes on this list. A stripe will currently be
queued on the release_list with a stripe reference count > 1. This can cause
the raid5 kernel thread(s) to dequeue the stripe and decrement the refcount
without doing any other useful processing of the stripe. The are two cases
when the stripe can be put on the release_list multiple times before it is
actually handled by the kernel thread(s).
1) make_request() activates the stripe processing in 4k increments. When a
write request is large enough to span multiple chunks of a stripe_head, the
first 4k chunk adds the stripe to the plug list. The next 4k chunk that is
processed for the same stripe puts the stripe on the release_list with a
refcount=2. This can cause the kernel thread to process and decrement the
stripe before the stripe us unplugged, which again will put it back on the
release_list.
2) Whenever IO is scheduled on a stripe (pre-read and/or write), the stripe
refcount is set to the number of active IO (for each chunk). The stripe is
released as each IO complete, and can be queued and dequeued multiple times
on the release_list, until its refcount finally reached zero.
This simple patch will ensure a stripe is only queued on the release_list when
its refcount=1 and is ready to be handled by the kernel thread(s). I added some
instrumentation to raid5 and counted the number of times striped were queued on
the release_list for a variety of write IO sizes. Without this patch the number
of times stripes got queued on the release_list was 100-500% higher than with
the patch. The excess queuing will increase with the IO size. The patch also
improved throughput by 5-10%.

Julia Lawall and coccinelle report that md_clear_badblocks always
returns 0, despite appearing to have an error path.
The error path really should return an error code. ENOSPC is
reasonably appropriate.

If it is found that we need to pre-read some blocks before a write
can succeed, we normally set STRIPE_DELAYED and don't actually perform
the read until STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE subsequently gets set.
However for a degraded RAID6 we currently perform the reads as soon
as we see that a write is pending. This significantly hurts
throughput.
So:
- when handle_stripe_dirtying find a block that it wants on a device
that is failed, set STRIPE_DELAY, instead of doing nothing, and
- when fetch_block detects that a read might be required to satisfy a
write, only perform the read if STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE is set,
and if we would actually need to read something to complete the write.
This also helps RAID5, though less often as RAID5 supports a
read-modify-write cycle. For RAID5 the read is performed too early
only if the write is not a full 4K aligned write (i.e. no an
R5_OVERWRITE).
Also clean up a couple of horrible bits of formatting.

md: fix problem when adding device to read-only array with bitmap.
added a called to md_reap_sync_thread() which cause a reshape thread
to be interrupted (in particular, it could cause md_thread() to never even
call md_do_sync()).
However it didn't set MD_RECOVERY_INTR so ->finish_reshape() would not
know that the reshape didn't complete.
This only happens when mddev->ro is set and normally reshape threads
don't run in that situation. But raid5 and raid10 can start a reshape
thread during "run" is the array is in the middle of a reshape.
They do this even if ->ro is set.
So it is best to set MD_RECOVERY_INTR before abortingg the
sync thread, just in case.
Though it rare for this to trigger a problem it can cause data corruption
because the reshape isn't finished properly.
So it is suitable for any stable which the offending commit was applied to.

If mddev->ro is set, md_to_sync will (correctly) abort.
However in that case MD_RECOVERY_INTR isn't set.
If a RESHAPE had been requested, then ->finish_reshape() will be
called and it will think the reshape was successful even though
nothing happened.
Normally a resync will not be requested if ->ro is set, but if an
array is stopped while a reshape is on-going, then when the array is
started, the reshape will be restarted. If the array is also set
read-only at this point, the reshape will instantly appear to success,
resulting in data corruption.
Consequently, this patch is suitable for any -stable kernel.

Commit 85ad643b ("dm thin: add timeout to stop out-of-data-space mode

want to either disable or modify this timeout.
Allow the out-of-data-space timeout to be configured using the

disable the timeout, resulting in IO being queued until more data space
is added to the thin-pool.

If the pool runs out of data space, dm-thin can be configured to
either error IOs that would trigger provisioning, or hold those IOs
until the pool is resized. Unfortunately, holding IOs until the pool is
resized can result in a cascade of tasks hitting the hung_task_timeout,
which may render the system unavailable.
Add a fixed timeout so IOs can only be held for a maximum of 60 seconds.
If LVM is going to resize a thin-pool that is out of data space it needs
to be prompt about it.

The DM crypt target used per-cpu structures to hold pointers to a
ablkcipher_request structure. The code assumed that the work item keeps
executing on a single CPU, so it didn't use synchronization when
accessing this structure.
If a CPU is disabled by writing 0 to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/online,
the work item could be moved to another CPU. This causes dm-crypt
crashes, like the following, because the code starts using an incorrect
ablkcipher_request:
smpboot: CPU 7 is now offline

Fix this bug by removing the per-cpu definition. The structure
ablkcipher_request is accessed via a pointer from convert_context.
Consequently, if the work item is rescheduled to a different CPU, the
thread still uses the same ablkcipher_request.
This change may undermine performance improvements intended by commit
c0297721 ("dm crypt: scale to multiple cpus") on select hardware. In
practice no performance difference was observed on recent hardware. But
regardless, correctness is more important than performance.
