Rationale: Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate. Deterministic algorithm: For each file: If not .svg: For each line: If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`: For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`: If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions return 200 OK and serve the same content: Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

dm-zoned
|

========
|
|
|
|
The dm-zoned device mapper target exposes a zoned block device (ZBC and
|
|
ZAC compliant devices) as a regular block device without any write
|
|
pattern constraints. In effect, it implements a drive-managed zoned
|
|
block device which hides from the user (a file system or an application
|
|
doing raw block device accesses) the sequential write constraints of
|
|
host-managed zoned block devices and can mitigate the potential
|
|
device-side performance degradation due to excessive random writes on
|
|
host-aware zoned block devices.
|
|
|
|
For a more detailed description of the zoned block device models and
|
|
their constraints see (for SCSI devices):
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
and (for ATA devices):

|
|
|
|
The dm-zoned implementation is simple and minimizes system overhead (CPU
|
|
and memory usage as well as storage capacity loss). For a 10TB
|
|
host-managed disk with 256 MB zones, dm-zoned memory usage per disk
|
|
instance is at most 4.5 MB and as little as 5 zones will be used
|
|
internally for storing metadata and performaing reclaim operations.
|
|
|
|
dm-zoned target devices are formatted and checked using the dmzadm
|
|
utility available at:

Algorithm
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
dm-zoned implements an on-disk buffering scheme to handle non-sequential
|
|
write accesses to the sequential zones of a zoned block device.
|
|
Conventional zones are used for caching as well as for storing internal
|
|
metadata. It can also use a regular block device together with the zoned
|
|
block device; in that case the regular block device will be split logically
|
|
in zones with the same size as the zoned block device. These zones will be
|
|
placed in front of the zones from the zoned block device and will be handled
|
|
just like conventional zones.
|
|
|
|
The zones of the device(s) are separated into 2 types:
|
|
|
|
1) Metadata zones: these are conventional zones used to store metadata.
|
|
Metadata zones are not reported as useable capacity to the user.
|
|
|
|
2) Data zones: all remaining zones, the vast majority of which will be
|
|
sequential zones used exclusively to store user data. The conventional
|
|
zones of the device may be used also for buffering user random writes.
|
|
Data in these zones may be directly mapped to the conventional zone, but
|
|
later moved to a sequential zone so that the conventional zone can be
|
|
reused for buffering incoming random writes.
|
|
|
|
dm-zoned exposes a logical device with a sector size of 4096 bytes,
|
|
irrespective of the physical sector size of the backend zoned block
|
|
device being used. This allows reducing the amount of metadata needed to
|
|
manage valid blocks (blocks written).
|
|
|
|
The on-disk metadata format is as follows:
|
|
|
|
1) The first block of the first conventional zone found contains the
|
|
super block which describes the on disk amount and position of metadata
|
|
blocks.
|
|
|
|
2) Following the super block, a set of blocks is used to describe the
|
|
mapping of the logical device blocks. The mapping is done per chunk of
|
|
blocks, with the chunk size equal to the zoned block device size. The
|
|
mapping table is indexed by chunk number and each mapping entry
|
|
indicates the zone number of the device storing the chunk of data. Each
|
|
mapping entry may also indicate if the zone number of a conventional
|
|
zone used to buffer random modification to the data zone.
|
|
|
|
3) A set of blocks used to store bitmaps indicating the validity of
|
|
blocks in the data zones follows the mapping table. A valid block is
|
|
defined as a block that was written and not discarded. For a buffered
|
|
data chunk, a block is always valid only in the data zone mapping the
|
|
chunk or in the buffer zone of the chunk.
|
|
|
|
For a logical chunk mapped to a conventional zone, all write operations
|
|
are processed by directly writing to the zone. If the mapping zone is a
|
|
sequential zone, the write operation is processed directly only if the
|
|
write offset within the logical chunk is equal to the write pointer
|
|
offset within of the sequential data zone (i.e. the write operation is
|
|
aligned on the zone write pointer). Otherwise, write operations are
|
|
processed indirectly using a buffer zone. In that case, an unused
|
|
conventional zone is allocated and assigned to the chunk being
|
|
accessed. Writing a block to the buffer zone of a chunk will
|
|
automatically invalidate the same block in the sequential zone mapping
|
|
the chunk. If all blocks of the sequential zone become invalid, the zone
|
|
is freed and the chunk buffer zone becomes the primary zone mapping the
|
|
chunk, resulting in native random write performance similar to a regular
|
|
block device.
|
|
|
|
Read operations are processed according to the block validity
|
|
information provided by the bitmaps. Valid blocks are read either from
|
|
the sequential zone mapping a chunk, or if the chunk is buffered, from
|
|
the buffer zone assigned. If the accessed chunk has no mapping, or the
|
|
accessed blocks are invalid, the read buffer is zeroed and the read
|
|
operation terminated.
|
|
|
|
After some time, the limited number of convnetional zones available may
|
|
be exhausted (all used to map chunks or buffer sequential zones) and
|
|
unaligned writes to unbuffered chunks become impossible. To avoid this
|
|
situation, a reclaim process regularly scans used conventional zones and
|
|
tries to reclaim the least recently used zones by copying the valid
|
|
blocks of the buffer zone to a free sequential zone. Once the copy
|
|
completes, the chunk mapping is updated to point to the sequential zone
|
|
and the buffer zone freed for reuse.
|
|
|
|
Metadata Protection
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
To protect metadata against corruption in case of sudden power loss or
|
|
system crash, 2 sets of metadata zones are used. One set, the primary
|
|
set, is used as the main metadata region, while the secondary set is
|
|
used as a staging area. Modified metadata is first written to the
|
|
secondary set and validated by updating the super block in the secondary
|
|
set, a generation counter is used to indicate that this set contains the
|
|
newest metadata. Once this operation completes, in place of metadata
|
|
block updates can be done in the primary metadata set. This ensures that
|
|
one of the set is always consistent (all modifications committed or none
|
|
at all). Flush operations are used as a commit point. Upon reception of
|
|
a flush request, metadata modification activity is temporarily blocked
|
|
(for both incoming BIO processing and reclaim process) and all dirty
|
|
metadata blocks are staged and updated. Normal operation is then
|
|
resumed. Flushing metadata thus only temporarily delays write and
|
|
discard requests. Read requests can be processed concurrently while
|
|
metadata flush is being executed.
|
|
|
|
If a regular device is used in conjunction with the zoned block device,
|
|
a third set of metadata (without the zone bitmaps) is written to the
|
|
start of the zoned block device. This metadata has a generation counter of
|
|
'0' and will never be updated during normal operation; it just serves for
|
|
identification purposes. The first and second copy of the metadata
|
|
are located at the start of the regular block device.
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
A zoned block device must first be formatted using the dmzadm tool. This
|
|
will analyze the device zone configuration, determine where to place the
|
|
metadata sets on the device and initialize the metadata sets.
|
|
|
|
Ex::
|
|
|
|
dmzadm --format /dev/sdxx
|
|
|
|
|
|
If two drives are to be used, both devices must be specified, with the
|
|
regular block device as the first device.
|
|
|
|
Ex::
|
|
|
|
dmzadm --format /dev/sdxx /dev/sdyy
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fomatted device(s) can be started with the dmzadm utility, too.:
|
|
|
|
Ex::
|
|
|
|
dmzadm --start /dev/sdxx /dev/sdyy
|
|
|
|
|
|
Information about the internal layout and current usage of the zones can
|
|
be obtained with the 'status' callback from dmsetup:
|
|
|
|
Ex::
|
|
|
|
dmsetup status /dev/dm-X
|
|
|
|
will return a line
|
|
|
|
0 <size> zoned <nr_zones> zones <nr_unmap_rnd>/<nr_rnd> random <nr_unmap_seq>/<nr_seq> sequential
|
|
|
|
where <nr_zones> is the total number of zones, <nr_unmap_rnd> is the number
|
|
of unmapped (ie free) random zones, <nr_rnd> the total number of zones,
|
|
<nr_unmap_seq> the number of unmapped sequential zones, and <nr_seq> the
|
|
total number of sequential zones.
|
|
|
|
Normally the reclaim process will be started once there are less than 50
|
|
percent free random zones. In order to start the reclaim process manually
|
|
even before reaching this threshold the 'dmsetup message' function can be
|
|
used:
|
|
|
|
Ex::
|
|
|
|
dmsetup message /dev/dm-X 0 reclaim
|
|
|
|
will start the reclaim process and random zones will be moved to sequential
|
|
zones.
