| * | md: clear Blocked flag on failed devices when array is read-only.Neil Brown2015-06-251-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Blocked flag indicates that a device has failed but that this fact hasn't been recorded in the metadata yet. Writes to such devices cannot be allowed until the metadata has been updated. On a read-only array, the Blocked flag will never be cleared. This prevents the device being removed from the array. If the metadata is being handled by the kernel (i.e. !mddev->external), then we can be sure that if the array is switch to writable, then a metadata update will happen and will record the failure. So we don't need the flag set. If metadata is externally managed, it is upto the external manager to clear the 'blocked' flag.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If ->private is set when ->run is called, it is assumed to be a 'config' prepared as part of 'reshape'. So it is important when we free that config, that we also clear ->private. This is not often a problem as the mddev will normally be discarded shortly after the config us freed. However if an 'assemble' races with a final close, the assemble can use the old mddev which has a stale ->private. This leads to any of various sorts of crashes. So clear ->private after calling ->free().

Here is how this hot contention comes from. We have limited stripes, and it's a multiple thread write workload. Hence, those stripes will be taken soon, which puts later processes to sleep for waiting free stripes. When enough stripes(>= 1/4 total stripes) are released, all process are woken, trying to get the lock. But there is one only being able to get this lock for each hash lock, making other processes spinning out there for acquiring the lock. Thus, it's effectiveless to wakeup all processes and let them battle for a lock that permits one to access only each time. Instead, we could make it be a exclusive wake up: wake up one process only. That avoids the heavy spin lock contention naturally. To do the exclusive wake up, we've to split wait_for_stripe into multiple wait queues, to make it per hash value, just like the hash lock.

And as expected, the performance increased a lot, up to 260%, for fast device(ram disk). v2: use bits instead of array to note down wait queue need to wake up.

| * | md/raid5: split wait_for_stripe and introduce wait_for_quiescentYuanhan Liu2015-06-172-6/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I noticed heavy spin lock contention at get_active_stripe(), introduced at being wake up stage, where a bunch of processes try to re-hold the spin lock again. After giving some thoughts on this issue, I found the lock could be relieved(and even avoided) if we turn the wait_for_stripe to per waitqueue for each lock hash and make the wake up exclusive: wake up one process each time, which avoids the lock contention naturally. Before go hacking with wait_for_stripe, I found it actually has 2 usages: for the array to enter or leave the quiescent state, and also to wait for an available stripe in each of the hash lists. So this patch splits the first usage off into a separate wait_queue, wait_for_quiescent, and the next patch will turn the second usage into one waitqueue for each hash value, and make it exclusive, to relieve the lock contention. v2: wake_up(wait_for_quiescent) when (active_stripes == 0) Commit log refactor suggestion from Neil.

Justification for revert as reported in this dm-devel post: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-June/msg00160.html this change should not be pushed to mainline yet. Firstly, Christoph has a newer version of the patch that fixes silent data corruption problem: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-May/msg00229.html And the new version still depends on LLDDs to always complete requests to the end when error happens, while block API doesn't enforce such a requirement. If the assumption is ever broken, the inconsistency between request and bio (e.g. rq->__sector and rq->bio) will cause silent data corruption: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-June/msg00022.html Reported-by: Junichi Nomura <j-nomura@ce.jp.nec.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

SMQ also does not have any cumbersome tuning knobs. Users may switch from "mq" to "smq" simply by appropriately reloading a DM table that is using the cache target. Doing so will cause all of the mq policy's hints to be dropped. Also, performance of the cache may degrade slightly until smq recalculates the origin device's hotspots that should be cached. In the future the "mq" policy will just silently make use of "smq" and the mq code will be removed. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Acked-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com>

There are a couple of issues with this: - If the block size is small, a large discard request can get broken up into a great many bios which is both slow and causes a lot of memory pressure. - The thin pool block size and the discard granularity for the underlying data device need to be compatible if we want to passdown the discard. This patch relaxes the block size granularity for thin devices. It makes use of the recent range locking added to the bio_prison to quiesce a whole range of thin blocks before unmapping them. Once a thin range has been unmapped the discard can then be passed down to the data device for those sub ranges where the data blocks are no longer used (ie. they weren't shared in the first place). This patch also doesn't make any apologies about open-coding portions of block core as a means to supporting async discard completions in the near-term -- if/when late bio splitting lands it'll all get cleaned up.

Both the mq and smq policies do some bottom half work for the tick method in their map functions. However if no IO is going through the cache, then that bottom half work doesn't occur. With these policies this means recently hit entries do not age and do not get written back as early as we'd like. Fix this by introducing a new 'can_block' parameter to the tick() method. When this is set the bottom half work occurs immediately. 'can_block' is set when the tick method is called every second by the core target (not in interrupt context).

Activation requires write access to metadata. Future work is needed to add proper support for running the cache in read-only mode. Once in fail-io mode the cache will report a status of "Fail". Also, add commit() wrapper that will disallow commits if in read_only or fail mode. Signed-off-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

Memory usage ------------ The mq policy uses a lot of memory; 88 bytes per cache block on a 64 bit machine. SMQ uses 28bit indexes to implement it's data structures rather than pointers. It avoids storing an explicit hit count for each block. It has a 'hotspot' queue rather than a pre cache which uses a quarter of the entries (each hotspot block covers a larger area than a single cache block). All these mean smq uses ~25bytes per cache block. Still a lot of memory, but a substantial improvement nontheless. Level balancing --------------- MQ places entries in different levels of the multiqueue structures based on their hit count (~ln(hit count)). This means the bottom levels generally have the most entries, and the top ones have very few. Having unbalanced levels like this reduces the efficacy of the multiqueue. SMQ does not maintain a hit count, instead it swaps hit entries with the least recently used entry from the level above. The over all ordering being a side effect of this stochastic process. With this scheme we can decide how many entries occupy each multiqueue level, resulting in better promotion/demotion decisions. Adaptability ------------ The MQ policy maintains a hit count for each cache block. For a different block to get promoted to the cache it's hit count has to exceed the lowest currently in the cache. This means it can take a long time for the cache to adapt between varying IO patterns. Periodically degrading the hit counts could help with this, but I haven't found a nice general solution. SMQ doesn't maintain hit counts, so a lot of this problem just goes away. In addition it tracks performance of the hotspot queue, which is used to decide which blocks to promote. If the hotspot queue is performing badly then it starts moving entries more quickly between levels. This lets it adapt to new IO patterns very quickly. Performance ----------- In my tests SMQ shows substantially better performance than MQ. Once this matures a bit more I'm sure it'll become the default policy.

This patch passes whole cells across to the worker.

This sort of problem is avoided most of the time by the core target grabbing a bio prison cell before making the request to the policy. But for a demotion the core target doesn't know which block will be demoted, so can't do this in advance. Fix this demotion race by introducing a callback to the policy interface that allows the policy to grab the cell on behalf of the core target.
