dm mirror: do not degrade the mirror on discard error

2015-02-14T00:50:46+00:00

It may be possible that a device claims discard support but it rejects
discards with -EOPNOTSUPP.  It happens when using loopback on ext2/ext3
filesystem driven by the ext4 driver.  It may also happen if the
underlying devices are moved from one disk on another.

If discard error happens, we reject the bio with -EOPNOTSUPP, but we do
not degrade the array.

This patch fixes failed test shell/lvconvert-repair-transient.sh in the
lvm2 testsuite if the testsuite is extracted on an ext2 or ext3
filesystem and it is being driven by the ext4 driver.

dm raid1: fix immutable biovec related BUG when retrying read bio

2014-02-18T15:48:57+00:00

When restoring bi_end_io, increase bi_remaining before retrying the bio
to avoid BUG_ON(atomic_read(&bio->bi_remaining) <= 0) in bio_endio().

block: Convert drivers to immutable biovecs

2013-11-24T06:33:51+00:00

Now that we've got a mechanism for immutable biovecs -
bi_iter.bi_bvec_done - we need to convert drivers to use primitives that
respect it instead of using the bvec array directly.

block: Abstract out bvec iterator

2013-11-24T06:33:47+00:00

Immutable biovecs are going to require an explicit iterator. To
implement immutable bvecs, a later patch is going to add a bi_bvec_done
member to this struct; for now, this patch effectively just renames
things.

dm kcopyd: introduce configurable throttling

2013-03-01T22:45:49+00:00

This patch allows the administrator to reduce the rate at which kcopyd
issues I/O.

Each module that uses kcopyd acquires a throttle parameter that can be
set in /sys/module/*/parameters.

We maintain a history of kcopyd usage by each module in the variables
io_period and total_period in struct dm_kcopyd_throttle. The actual
kcopyd activity is calculated as a percentage of time equal to
"(100 * io_period / total_period)".  This is compared with the user-defined
throttle percentage threshold and if it is exceeded, we sleep.

dm: rename request variables to bios

2013-03-01T22:45:47+00:00

Use 'bio' in the name of variables and functions that deal with
bios rather than 'request' to avoid confusion with the normal
block layer use of 'request'.

No functional changes.

dm: fix truncated status strings

2013-03-01T22:45:44+00:00

Avoid returning a truncated table or status string instead of setting
the DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG when the last target of a table fills the
buffer.

When processing a table or status request, the function retrieve_status
calls ti->type->status. If ti->type->status returns non-zero,
retrieve_status assumes that the buffer overflowed and sets
DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG.

However, targets don't return non-zero values from their status method
on overflow. Most targets returns always zero.

If a buffer overflow happens in a target that is not the last in the
table, it gets noticed during the next iteration of the loop in
retrieve_status; but if a buffer overflow happens in the last target, it
goes unnoticed and erroneously truncated data is returned.

In the current code, the targets behave in the following way:
* dm-crypt returns -ENOMEM if there is not enough space to store the
  key, but it returns 0 on all other overflows.
* dm-thin returns errors from the status method if a disk error happened.
  This is incorrect because retrieve_status doesn't check the error
  code, it assumes that all non-zero values mean buffer overflow.
* all the other targets always return 0.

This patch changes the ti->type->status function to return void (because
most targets don't use the return code). Overflow is detected in
retrieve_status: if the status method fills up the remaining space
completely, it is assumed that buffer overflow happened.
