dm thin: update discard_granularity to reflect the thin-pool blocksize

2014-07-09T18:18:26+00:00

commit 09869de57ed2728ae3c619803932a86cb0e2c4f8 upstream.

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.

dm thin: add 'no_space_timeout' dm-thin-pool module param

2014-06-11T18:54:10+00:00

commit 80c578930ce77ba8bcfb226a184b482020bdda7b upstream.

Commit 85ad643b ("dm thin: add timeout to stop out-of-data-space mode
holding IO forever") introduced a fixed 60 second timeout.  Users may
want to either disable or modify this timeout.

Allow the out-of-data-space timeout to be configured using the
'no_space_timeout' dm-thin-pool module param.  Setting it to 0 will
disable the timeout, resulting in IO being queued until more data space
is added to the thin-pool.

dm thin: add timeout to stop out-of-data-space mode holding IO forever

2014-06-07T17:28:25+00:00

commit 85ad643b7e7e52d37620fb272a9fd577a8095647 upstream.

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.

dm thin: allow metadata commit if pool is in PM_OUT_OF_DATA_SPACE mode

2014-06-07T17:28:25+00:00

commit 8d07e8a5f5bc7b90f755d9b427ea930024f4c986 upstream.

Commit 3e1a0699 ("dm thin: fix out of data space handling") introduced
a regression in the metadata commit() method by returning an error if
the pool is in PM_OUT_OF_DATA_SPACE mode.  This oversight caused a thin
device to return errors even if the default queue_if_no_space ENOSPC
handling mode is used.

Fix commit() to only fail if pool is in PM_READ_ONLY or PM_FAIL mode.

dm thin: fix dangling bio in process_deferred_bios error path

commit fe76cd88e654124d1431bb662a0fc6e99ca811a5 upstream.

If unable to ensure_next_mapping() we must add the current bio, which
was removed from the @bios list via bio_list_pop, back to the
deferred_bios list before all the remaining @bios.

dm thin: fix noflush suspend IO queueing

2014-03-05T20:26:59+00:00

i) by the time DM core calls the postsuspend hook the dm_noflush flag
has been cleared.  So the old thin_postsuspend did nothing.  We need to
use the presuspend hook instead.

ii) There was a race between bios leaving DM core and arriving in the
deferred queue.

thin_presuspend now sets a 'requeue' flag causing all bios destined for
that thin to be requeued back to DM core.  Then it requeues all held IO,
and all IO on the deferred queue (destined for that thin).  Finally
postsuspend clears the 'requeue' flag.

dm thin: fix deadlock in __requeue_bio_list

2014-03-05T20:26:58+00:00

The spin lock in requeue_io() was held for too long, allowing deadlock.
Don't worry, due to other issues addressed in the following "dm thin:
fix noflush suspend IO queueing" commit, this code was never called.

Fix this by taking the spin lock for a much shorter period of time.

dm thin: fix out of data space handling

2014-03-05T20:26:58+00:00

Ideally a thin pool would never run out of data space; the low water
mark would trigger userland to extend the pool before we completely run
out of space.  However, many small random IOs to unprovisioned space can
consume data space at an alarming rate.  Adjust your low water mark if
you're frequently seeing "out-of-data-space" mode.

Before this fix, if data space ran out the pool would be put in
PM_READ_ONLY mode which also aborted the pool's current metadata
transaction (data loss for any changes in the transaction).  This had a
side-effect of needlessly compromising data consistency.  And retry of
queued unserviceable bios, once the data pool was resized, could
initiate changes to potentially inconsistent pool metadata.

Now when the pool's data space is exhausted transition to a new pool
mode (PM_OUT_OF_DATA_SPACE) that allows metadata to be changed but data
may not be allocated.  This allows users to remove thin volumes or
discard data to recover data space.

The pool is no longer put in PM_READ_ONLY mode in response to the pool
running out of data space.  And PM_READ_ONLY mode no longer aborts the
pool's current metadata transaction.  Also, set_pool_mode() will now
notify userspace when the pool mode is changed.

dm thin: ensure user takes action to validate data and metadata consistency

2014-03-05T20:25:35+00:00

If a thin metadata operation fails the current transaction will abort,
whereby causing potential for IO layers up the stack (e.g. filesystems)
to have data loss.  As such, set THIN_METADATA_NEEDS_CHECK_FLAG in the
thin metadata's superblock which:
1) requires the user verify the thin metadata is consistent (e.g. use
   thin_check, etc)
2) suggests the user verify the thin data is consistent (e.g. use fsck)

The only way to clear the superblock's THIN_METADATA_NEEDS_CHECK_FLAG is
to run thin_repair.

On metadata operation failure: abort current metadata transaction, set
pool in read-only mode, and now set the needs_check flag.

As part of this change, constraints are introduced or relaxed:
* don't allow a pool to transition to write mode if needs_check is set
* don't allow data or metadata space to be resized if needs_check is set
* if a thin pool's metadata space is exhausted: the kernel will now
  force the user to take the pool offline for repair before the kernel
  will allow the metadata space to be extended.

Also, update Documentation to include information about when the thin
provisioning target commits metadata, how it handles metadata failures
and running out of space.

dm thin: synchronize the pool mode during suspend

2014-03-04T16:17:51+00:00

Commit b5330655 ("dm thin: handle metadata failures more consistently")
increased potential for the pool's mode to be changed in response to
metadata operation failures.

When the pool mode is changed it isn't synchronized with the mode in
pool_features stored in the target's context (ti->private) that is used
as the basis for (re)establishing the pool mode during resume via
bind_control_target.

It is important that we synchronize the pool mode when it is changed
otherwise the pool may experience and unexpected mode transition on the
next resume (especially if there was no new table load).
