2016-05-05dm mpath: eliminate use of spinlock in IO fast-pathsMike Snitzer
The primary motivation of this commit is to improve the scalability of DM multipath on large NUMA systems where m->lock spinlock contention has been proven to be a serious bottleneck on really fast storage. The ability to atomically read a pointer, using lockless_dereference(), is leveraged in this commit. But all pointer writes are still protected by the m->lock spinlock (which is fine since these all now occur in the slow-path). The following functions no longer require the m->lock spinlock in their fast-path: multipath_busy(), __multipath_map(), and do_end_io() And choose_pgpath() is modified to _not_ update m->current_pgpath unless it also switches the path-group. This is done to avoid needing to take the m->lock everytime __multipath_map() calls choose_pgpath(). But m->current_pgpath will be reset if it is failed via fail_path().

2016-03-10dm mpath: cleanup reinstate_path() et al based on code reviewMike Snitzer
fail_path() will print a "Failing path ..." message but reinstate_path() doesn't print a "Reinstating path ...". Add that message to reinstate_path() to add symmetry and aid system debugging. Remove reinstate_path()'s check for the path_selector providing .reinstate_path hook. All path selectors provide this and any future ones must too. activate_path() calls pg_init_done() with SCSI_DH_DEV_OFFLINED but pg_init_done() doesn't expicitly handle it in its swicth statement.

2016-02-22dm mpath: remove repeat_count support from multipath coreMike Snitzer
Preparation for making __multipath_map() avoid taking the m->lock spinlock -- in favor of using RCU locking. repeat_count was primarily for bio-based DM multipath's benefit. There is really no need for it anymore now that DM multipath is request-based. As such, repeat_count > 1 is no longer honored and a warning is displayed if the user attempts to use a value > 1. This is a temporary change for the round-robin path-selector (as a later commit will restore its support for repeat_count > 1). Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

Remove all fiddley code that propped up this support for a blk-mq request-queue ontop of all .request_fn devices.

2016-02-22dm: optimize dm_mq_queue_rq()Mike Snitzer
DM multipath is the only dm-mq target. But that aside, request-based DM only supports tables with a single target that is immutable. Leverage this fact in dm_mq_queue_rq() by using the 'immutable_target' stored in the mapped_device when the table was made active. This saves the need to even take the read-side of the SRCU via dm_{get,put}_live_table. If the active DM table does not have an immutable target (e.g. "error" target was swapped in) then fallback to the slow-path where the target is looked up from the live table.

2015-11-17dm mpath: fix infinite recursion in ioctl when no paths and !queue_if_no_pathJunichi Nomura
In multipath_prepare_ioctl(), - pgpath is a path selected from available paths - m->queue_io is true if we cannot send a request immediately to paths, either because: * there is no available path * the path group needs activation (pg_init) - pg_init is not started - pg_init is still running - m->queue_if_no_path is true if the device is configured to queue I/O if there are no available paths If !pgpath && !m->queue_if_no_path, the handler should return -EIO. However in the course of refactoring the condition check has broken and returns success in that case. Since bdev points to the dm device itself, dm_blk_ioctl() calls __blk_dev_driver_ioctl() for itself and recurses until crash. You could reproduce the problem like this: # dmsetup create mp --table '0 1024 multipath 0 0 0 0' # sg_inq /dev/mapper/mp <crash> [ 172.648615] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffffffc81b10268 [ 172.662843] PGD 19dd067 PUD 0 [ 172.666269] Thread overran stack, or stack corrupted [ 172.671808] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP ...

2015-11-17dm: fix ioctl retry termination with signalJunichi Nomura
dm-mpath retries ioctl, when no path is readily available and the device is configured to queue I/O in such a case. If you want to stop the retry before multipathd decides to turn off queueing mode, you could send signal for the process to exit from the loop. However the check of fatal signal has not carried along when commit 6c182cd88d17 ("dm mpath: fix ioctl deadlock when no paths") moved the loop from dm-mpath to dm core. As a result, we can't terminate such a process in the retry loop. Easy reproducer of the situation is: # dmsetup create mp --table '0 1024 multipath 0 0 0 0' # dmsetup message mp 0 'queue_if_no_path' # sg_inq /dev/mapper/mp then you should be able to terminate sg_inq by pressing Ctrl+C.

2015-10-31Revert "dm mpath: fix stalls when handling invalid ioctls"Mauricio Faria de Oliveira
This reverts commit a1989b330093578ea5470bea0a00f940c444c466. That commit introduced a regression at least for the case of the SG_IO ioctl() running without CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability (e.g., unprivileged users) when there are no active paths: the ioctl() fails with the ENOTTY errno immediately rather than blocking due to queue_if_no_path until a path becomes active, for example. That case happens to be exercised by QEMU KVM guests with 'scsi-block' devices (qemu "-device scsi-block" [1], libvirt "<disk type='block' device='lun'>" [2]) from multipath devices; which leads to SCSI/filesystem errors in such a guest. More general scenarios can hit that regression too. The following demonstration employs a SG_IO ioctl() with a standard SCSI INQUIRY command for this objective (some output & user changes omitted for brevity and comments added for clarity). Reverting that commit restores normal operation (queueing) in failing scenarios; tested on linux-next (next-20151022). 1) Test-case is based on sg_simple0 [3] (just SG_IO; remove SG_GET_VERSION_NUM) $ cat sg_simple0.c ... see [3] ... $ sed '/SG_GET_VERSION_NUM/,/}/d' sg_simple0.c > sgio_inquiry.c $ gcc sgio_inquiry.c -o sgio_inquiry 2) The ioctl() works fine with active paths present. # multipath -l 85ag56 85ag56 (...) dm-19 IBM ,2145 size=60G features='1 queue_if_no_path' hwhandler='0' wp=rw |-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=0 status=active | |- 8:0:11:0 sdz 65:144 active undef running | `- 9:0:9:0 sdbf 67:144 active undef running `-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=0 status=enabled |- 8:0:12:0 sdae 65:224 active undef running `- 9:0:12:0 sdbo 68:32 active undef running $ ./sgio_inquiry /dev/mapper/85ag56 Some of the INQUIRY command's response: IBM 2145 0000 INQUIRY duration=0 millisecs, resid=0 3) The ioctl() fails with ENOTTY errno with _no_ active paths present, for unprivileged users (rather than blocking due to queue_if_no_path). # for path in $(multipath -l 85ag56 | grep -o 'sd[a-z]\+'); \ do multipathd -k"fail path $path"; done # multipath -l 85ag56 85ag56 (...) dm-19 IBM ,2145 size=60G features='1 queue_if_no_path' hwhandler='0' wp=rw |-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=0 status=enabled | |- 8:0:11:0 sdz 65:144 failed undef running | `- 9:0:9:0 sdbf 67:144 failed undef running `-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=0 status=enabled |- 8:0:12:0 sdae 65:224 failed undef running `- 9:0:12:0 sdbo 68:32 failed undef running $ ./sgio_inquiry /dev/mapper/85ag56 sg_simple0: Inquiry SG_IO ioctl error: Inappropriate ioctl for device 4) dmesg shows that scsi_verify_blk_ioctl() failed for SG_IO (0x2285); it returns -ENOIOCTLCMD, later replaced with -ENOTTY in vfs_ioctl(). $ dmesg <...> [] device-mapper: multipath: Failing path 65:144.

2015-04-15dm: optimize dm_mq_queue_rq to _not_ use kthread if using pure blk-mqMike Snitzer
dm_mq_queue_rq() is in atomic context so care must be taken to not sleep -- as such GFP_ATOMIC is used for the md->bs bioset allocations and dm-mpath's call to blk_get_request(). In the future the bioset allocations will hopefully go away (by removing support for partial completions of bios in a cloned request). Also prepare for supporting DM blk-mq ontop of old-style request_fn device(s) if a new dm-mod 'use_blk_mq' parameter is set. The kthread will still be used to queue work if blk-mq is used ontop of old-style request_fn device(s). Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>
2015-04-15dm: add full blk-mq support to request-based DMMike Snitzer
Commit e5863d9ad ("dm: allocate requests in target when stacking on blk-mq devices") served as the first step toward fully utilizing blk-mq in request-based DM -- it enabled stacking an old-style (request_fn) request_queue ontop of the underlying blk-mq device(s). That first step didn't improve performance of DM multipath ontop of fast blk-mq devices (e.g. NVMe) because the top-level old-style request_queue was severely limited by the queue_lock. The second step offered here enables stacking a blk-mq request_queue ontop of the underlying blk-mq device(s). This unlocks significant performance gains on fast blk-mq devices, Keith Busch tested on his NVMe testbed and offered this really positive news: "Just providing a performance update. All my fio tests are getting roughly equal performance whether accessed through the raw block device or the multipath device mapper (~470k IOPS). I could only push ~20% of the raw iops through dm before this conversion, so this latest tree is looking really solid from a performance standpoint."

2015-02-09dm: allocate requests in target when stacking on blk-mq devicesMike Snitzer
For blk-mq request-based DM the responsibility of allocating a cloned request is transfered from DM core to the target type. Doing so enables the cloned request to be allocated from the appropriate blk-mq request_queue's pool (only the DM target, e.g. multipath, can know which block device to send a given cloned request to). Care was taken to preserve compatibility with old-style block request completion that requires request-based DM _not_ acquire the clone request's queue lock in the completion path. As such, there are now 2 different request-based DM target_type interfaces: 1) the original .map_rq() interface will continue to be used for non-blk-mq devices -- the preallocated clone request is passed in from DM core. 2) a new .clone_and_map_rq() and .release_clone_rq() will be used for blk-mq devices -- blk_get_request() and blk_put_request() are used respectively from these hooks. dm_table_set_type() was updated to detect if the request-based target is being stacked on blk-mq devices, if so DM_TYPE_MQ_REQUEST_BASED is set. DM core disallows switching the DM table's type after it is set. This means that there is no mixing of non-blk-mq and blk-mq devices within the same request-based DM table.

2015-02-09dm: submit stacked requests in irq enabled contextKeith Busch
Switch to having request-based DM enqueue all prep'ed requests into work processed by another thread. This allows request-based DM to invoke block APIs that assume interrupt enabled context (e.g. blk_get_request) and is a prerequisite for adding blk-mq support to request-based DM. The new kernel thread is only initialized for request-based DM devices. multipath_map() is now always in irq enabled context so change multipath spinlock (m->lock) locking to always disable interrupts.

2014-07-10dm mpath: fix IO hang due to logic bug in multipath_busyJun'ichi Nomura
Commit e80991773 ("dm mpath: push back requests instead of queueing") modified multipath_busy() to return true if !pg_ready(). pg_ready() checks the current state of the multipath device and may return false even if a new IO is needed to change the state. Bart Van Assche reported that he had multipath IO lockup when he was performing cable pull tests. Analysis showed that the multipath device had a single path group with both paths active, but that the path group itself was not active. During the multipath device state transitions 'queue_io' got set but nothing could clear it. Clearing 'queue_io' only happens in __choose_pgpath(), but it won't be called if multipath_busy() returns true due to pg_ready() returning false when 'queue_io' is set. As such the !pg_ready() check in multipath_busy() is wrong because new IO will not be sent to multipath target and the multipath state change won't happen. That results in multipath IO lockup. The intent of multipath_busy() is to avoid unnecessary cycles of dequeue + request_fn + requeue if it is known that the multipath device will requeue. Such "busy" situations would be: - path group is being activated - there is no path and the multipath is setup to requeue if no path Fix multipath_busy() to return "busy" early only for these specific situations.

The need to disable WRITE SAME stems from SCSI enabling it by default but then disabling it when it fails. When SCSI does this it returns "permanent target failure, do not retry" using -EREMOTEIO. Update DM core to only disable WRITE SAME on failure if the returned error is -EREMOTEIO. Commit f84cb8a4 ("dm mpath: disable WRITE SAME if it fails") implemented multipath specific disabling of WRITE SAME if it fails. However, as that commit detailed, the multipath-only solution doesn't go far enough if bio-based DM targets are stacked ontop of the request-based dm-multipath target (as is commonly done using dm-linear to support partitions on multipath devices, via kpartx).

2014-03-27dm mpath: remove process_queued_ios()Hannes Reinecke
process_queued_ios() has served 3 functions: 1) select pg and pgpath if none is selected 2) start pg_init if requested 3) dispatch queued IOs when pg is ready Basically, a call to queue_work(process_queued_ios) can be replaced by dm_table_run_md_queue_async(), which runs request queue and ends up calling map_io(), which does 1), 2) and 3). Exception is when !pg_ready() (which means either pg_init is running or requested), then multipath_busy() prevents map_io() being called from request_fn. If pg_init is running, it should be ok as long as pg_init_done() does the right thing when pg_init is completed, I.e.: restart pg_init if !pg_ready() or call dm_table_run_md_queue_async() to kick map_io(). If pg_init is requested, we have to make sure the request is detected and pg_init will be started. pg_init is requested in 3 places: a) __choose_pgpath() in map_io() b) __choose_pgpath() in multipath_ioctl() c) pg_init retry in pg_init_done() a) is ok because map_io() calls __pg_init_all_paths(), which does 2). b) needs a call to __pg_init_all_paths(), which does 2). c) needs a call to __pg_init_all_paths(), which does 2). So this patch removes process_queued_ios() and ensures that __pg_init_all_paths() is called at the appropriate locations.

2014-03-27dm mpath: push back requests instead of queueingHannes Reinecke
There is no reason why multipath needs to queue requests internally for queue_if_no_path or pg_init; we should rather push them back onto the request queue. And while we're at it we can simplify the conditional statement in map_io() to make it easier to read. Since mpath no longer does internal queuing of I/O the table info no longer emits the internal queue_size. Instead it displays 1 if queuing is being used or 0 if it is not.

2013-11-05dm mpath: requeue I/O during pg_initHannes Reinecke
When pg_init is running no I/O can be submitted to the underlying devices, as the path priority etc might change. When using queue_io for this, requests will be piling up within multipath as the block I/O scheduler just sees a _very fast_ device. All of this queued I/O has to be resubmitted from within multipathing once pg_init is done. This approach has the problem that it's virtually impossible to abort I/O when pg_init is running, and we're adding heavy load to the devices after pg_init since all of the queued I/O needs to be resubmitted _before_ any requests can be pulled off of the request queue and normal operation continues. This patch will requeue the I/O that triggers the pg_init call, and return 'busy' when pg_init is in progress. With these changes the block I/O scheduler will stop submitting I/O during pg_init, resulting in a quicker path switch and less I/O pressure (and memory consumption) after pg_init.

2013-10-31dm mpath: fix race condition between multipath_dtr and pg_init_doneShiva Krishna Merla
Whenever multipath_dtr() is happening we must prevent queueing any further path activation work. Implement this by adding a new 'pg_init_disabled' flag to the multipath structure that denotes future path activation work should be skipped if it is set. By disabling pg_init and then re-enabling in flush_multipath_work() we also avoid the potential for pg_init to be initiated while suspending an mpath device. Without this patch a race condition exists that may result in a kernel panic: 1) If after pg_init_done() decrements pg_init_in_progress to 0, a call to wait_for_pg_init_completion() assumes there are no more pending path management commands. 2) If pg_init_required is set by pg_init_done(), due to retryable mode_select errors, then process_queued_ios() will again queue the path activation work. 3) If free_multipath() completes before activate_path() work is called a NULL pointer dereference like the following can be seen when accessing members of the recently destructed multipath: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000090 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffffa003db1b>] [<ffffffffa003db1b>] activate_path+0x1b/0x30 [dm_multipath] [<ffffffff81090ac0>] worker_thread+0x170/0x2a0 [<ffffffff81096c80>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x40 [switch to disabling pg_init in flush_multipath_work & header edits by Mike Snitzer] Signed-off-by: Shiva Krishna Merla <shivakrishna.merla@netapp.com> Reviewed-by: Krishnasamy Somasundaram <somasundaram.krishnasamy@netapp.com> Tested-by: Speagle Andy <Andy.Speagle@netapp.com> Acked-by: Junichi Nomura <j-nomura@ce.jp.nec.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

2013-09-20dm mpath: disable WRITE SAME if it failsMike Snitzer
Workaround the SCSI layer's problematic WRITE SAME heuristics by disabling WRITE SAME in the DM multipath device's queue_limits if an underlying device disabled it. The WRITE SAME heuristics, with both the original commit 5db44863b6eb ("[SCSI] sd: Implement support for WRITE SAME") and the updated commit 66c28f971 ("[SCSI] sd: Update WRITE SAME heuristics"), default to enabling WRITE SAME(10) even without successfully determining it is supported. After the first failed WRITE SAME the SCSI layer will disable WRITE SAME for the device (by setting sdkp->device->no_write_same which results in 'max_write_same_sectors' in device's queue_limits to be set to 0). When a device is stacked ontop of such a SCSI device any changes to that SCSI device's queue_limits do not automatically propagate up the stack. As such, a DM multipath device will not have its WRITE SAME support disabled. This causes the block layer to continue to issue WRITE SAME requests to the mpath device which causes paths to fail and (if mpath IO isn't configured to queue when no paths are available) it will result in actual IO errors to the upper layers. This fix doesn't help configurations that have additional devices stacked ontop of the mpath device (e.g. LVM created linear DM devices ontop). A proper fix that restacks all the queue_limits from the bottom of the device stack up will need to be explored if SCSI will continue to use this model of optimistically allowing op codes and then disabling them after they fail for the first time.
