* kyber: fix hang on domain token wait queueOmar Sandoval2017-10-181-1/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we're getting a domain token, if we fail to get a token on our first attempt, we put the current hardware queue on a wait queue and then try again just in case a token was freed after our initial attempt but before we got on the wait queue. If this second attempt succeeds, we currently leave the hardware queue on the wait queue. Usually this is okay; we'll just run the hardware queue one extra time when another token is freed. However, if the hardware queue doesn't have any other requests waiting, then when it it gets the extra wakeup, it won't have anything to free and therefore won't wake up any other hardware queues. If tokens are limited, then we won't make forward progress and the device will hang.

* bcache: safeguard a dangerous addressing in closure_queueLiang Chen2017-10-161-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The use of the union reduces the size of closure struct by taking advantage of the current size of its members. The offset of func in work_struct equals the size of the first three members, so that work.work_func will just reference the forth member - fn. This is smart but dangerous. It can be broken if work_struct or the other structs get changed, and can be a bit difficult to debug.

* bcache: writeback rate shouldn't artifically clampMichael Lyle2017-10-163-6/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous code artificially limited writeback rate to 1000000 blocks/second (NSEC_PER_MSEC), which is a rate that can be met on fast hardware. The rate limiting code works fine (though with decreased precision) up to 3 orders of magnitude faster, so use NSEC_PER_SEC. Additionally, ensure that uint32_t is used as a type for rate throughout the rate management so that type checking/clamp_t can work properly. bch_next_delay should be rewritten for increased precision and better handling of high rates and long sleep periods, but this is adequate for now.

* bcache: smooth writeback rate controlMichael Lyle2017-10-162-3/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This works in conjunction with the new PI controller. Currently, in real-world workloads, the rate controller attempts to write back 1 sector per second. In practice, these minimum-rate writebacks are between 4k and 60k in test scenarios, since bcache aggregates and attempts to do contiguous writes and because filesystems on top of bcachefs typically write 4k or more. Previously, bcache used to guarantee to write at least once per second. This means that the actual writeback rate would exceed the configured amount by a factor of 8-120 or more. This patch adjusts to be willing to sleep up to 2.5 seconds, and to target writing 4k/second. On the smallest writes, it will sleep 1 second like before, but many times it will sleep longer and load the backing device less. This keeps the loading on the cache and backing device related to writeback more consistent when writing back at low rates.

* bcache: implement PI controller for writeback rateMichael Lyle2017-10-163-52/+66
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bcache uses a control system to attempt to keep the amount of dirty data in cache at a user-configured level, while not responding excessively to transients and variations in write rate. Previously, the system was a PD controller; but the output from it was integrated, turning the Proportional term into an Integral term, and turning the Derivative term into a crude Proportional term. Performance of the controller has been uneven in production, and it has tended to respond slowly, oscillate, and overshoot. This patch set replaces the current control system with an explicit PI controller and tuning that should be correct for most hardware. By default, it attempts to write at a rate that would retire 1/40th of the current excess blocks per second. An integral term in turn works to remove steady state errors. IMO, this yields benefits in simplicity (removing weighted average filtering, etc) and system performance. Another small change is a tunable parameter is introduced to allow the user to specify a minimum rate at which dirty blocks are retired. There is a slight difference from earlier versions of the patch in integral handling to prevent excessive negative integral windup.

* bcache: rewrite multiple partitions supportColy Li2017-10-161-12/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current partition support of bcache is confusing and buggy. It tries to trace non-continuous device minor numbers by an ida bit string, and mistakenly mixed bcache device index with minor numbers. This design generates several negative results, - Index of bcache device name is not consecutive under /dev/. If there are 3 bcache devices, they name will be, /dev/bcache0, /dev/bcache16, /dev/bcache32 Only bcache code indexes bcache device name is such an interesting way. - First minor number of each bcache device is traced by ida bit string. One bcache device will occupy 16 bits, this is not a good idea. Indeed only one bit is enough. - Because minor number and bcache device index are mixed, a device index is allocated by ida_simple_get(), but an first minor number is sent into ida_simple_remove() to release the device. It confused original author too. Root cause of the above errors is, bcache code should not handle device minor numbers at all! A standard process to support multiple partitions in Linux kernel is, - Device driver provides major device number, and indexes multiple device instances. - Device driver does not allocat nor trace device minor number, only provides a first minor number of a given device instance, and sets how many minor numbers (paritions) the device instance may have. All rested stuffs are handled by block layer code, most of the details can be found from block/{genhd, partition-generic}.c files. This patch re-writes multiple partitions support for bcache. It makes whole things to be more clear, and uses ida bit string in a more efficeint way. - Ida bit string only traces bcache device index, not minor number. For a bcache device with 128 partitions, only one bit in ida bit string is enough. - Device minor number and device index are separated in concept. Device index is used for /dev node naming, and ida bit string trace. Minor number is calculated from device index and only used to initialize first_minor of a bcache device. - It does not follow any standard for 16 partitions on a bcache device. This patch sets 128 partitions on single bcache device at max, this is the limitation from GPT (GUID Partition Table) and supported by fdisk. Considering a typical device minor number is 20 bits width, each bcache device may have 128 partitions (7 bits), there can be 8192 bcache devices existing on system. For most common deployment for a single server in now days, it should be enough.

* bcache: check ca->alloc_thread initialized before wake up itColy Li2017-10-161-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In bcache code, sysfs entries are created before all resources get allocated, e.g. allocation thread of a cache set. There is posibility for NULL pointer deference if a resource is accessed but which is not initialized yet. Indeed Jorg Bornschein catches one on cache set allocation thread and gets a kernel oops. The reason for this bug is, when bch_bucket_alloc() is called during cache set registration and attaching, ca->alloc_thread is not properly allocated and initialized yet, call wake_up_process() on ca->alloc_thread triggers NULL pointer deference failure. A simple and fast fix is, before waking up ca->alloc_thread, checking whether it is allocated, and only wake up ca->alloc_thread when it is not NULL.

* lightnvm: pblk: enable 1 LUN configurationJavier González2017-10-134-19/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Metadata I/Os are scheduled to minimize their impact on user data I/Os. When there are enough LUNs instantiated (i.e., enough bandwidth), it is easy to interleave metadata and data one after the other so that metadata I/Os are the ones being blocked and not vice-versa. We do this by calculating the distance between the I/Os in terms of the LUNs that are not in used, and selecting a free LUN that satisfies a the simple heuristic that metadata is scheduled behind. The per-LUN semaphores guarantee consistency. This works fine on >1 LUN configuration. However, when a single LUN is instantiated, this design leads to a deadlock, where metadata waits to be scheduled on a free LUN. This patch implements the 1 LUN case by simply scheduling the metadada I/O after the data I/O. In the process, we refactor the way a line is replaced to ensure that metadata writes are submitted after data writes in order to guarantee block sequentiality. Note that, since there is only one LUN, both I/Os will block each other by design. However, such configuration only pursues tight read latencies, not write bandwidth.

* lightnvm: pblk: remove I/O dependency on write pathJavier González2017-10-131-80/+65
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | pblk schedules user I/O, metadata I/O and erases on the write path in order to minimize collisions at the media level. Until now, there has been a dependency between user and metadata I/Os that could lead to a deadlock as both take the per-LUN semaphore to schedule submission. This path removes this dependency and guarantees forward progress at a per I/O granurality.

* lightnvm: pblk: remove redundant check on read pathJavier González2017-10-131-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | A partial read I/O in pblk is an I/O where some sectors reside in the write buffer in main memory and some are persisted on the device. Such an I/O must at least contain 2 lbas, therefore checking for the case where a single lba is mapped is not necessary.

* lightnvm: pblk: guarantee line integrity on readsJavier González2017-10-134-25/+118
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a line is recycled during garbage collection, reads can still be issued to the line. If the line is freed in the middle of this process, data corruption might occur. This patch guarantees that lines are not freed in the middle of reads that target them (lines). Specifically, we use the existing line reference to decide when a line is eligible for being freed after the recycle process.

* lightnvm: pblk: check lba sanity on read pathJavier González2017-10-132-4/+51
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As part of pblk's recovery scheme, we store the lba mapped to each physical sector on the device's out-of-bound (OOB) area. On the read path, we can use this information to validate that the data being delivered to the upper layers corresponds to the lba being requested. The cost of this check is an extra copy on the DMA region on the device and an extra comparison in the host, given that (i) the OOB area is being read together with the data in the media, and (ii) the DMA region allocated for the ppa list can be reused for the metadata stored on the OOB area.
