block: rename bio bi_rw to bi_opf

2016-08-07T20:41:02+00:00

Since commit 63a4cc24867d, bio->bi_rw contains flags in the lower
portion and the op code in the higher portions. This means that
old code that relies on manually setting bi_rw is most likely
going to be broken. Instead of letting that brokeness linger,
rename the member, to force old and out-of-tree code to break
at compile time instead of at runtime.

No intended functional changes in this commit.

block: get rid of bio_rw and READA

2016-07-20T23:37:01+00:00

These two are confusing leftover of the old world order, combining
values of the REQ_OP_ and REQ_ namespaces.  For callers that don't
special case we mostly just replace bi_rw with bio_data_dir or
op_is_write, except for the few cases where a switch over the REQ_OP_
values makes more sense.  Any check for READA is replaced with an
explicit check for REQ_RAHEAD.  Also remove the READA alias for
REQ_RAHEAD.

drbd: introduce WRITE_SAME support

2016-06-14T03:43:07+00:00

We will support WRITE_SAME, if
 * all peers support WRITE_SAME (both in kernel and DRBD version),
 * all peer devices support WRITE_SAME
 * logical_block_size is identical on all peers.

We may at some point introduce a fallback on the receiving side
for devices/kernels that do not support WRITE_SAME,
by open-coding a submit loop. But not yet.

drbd: if there is no good data accessible, writes should be IO errors

2016-06-14T03:43:06+00:00

If DRBD lost all path to good data,
and the on-no-data-accessible policy is OND_SUSPEND_IO,
all pending and new IO requests are suspended (will block).

If that setting is OND_IO_ERROR, IO will still be completed.
READ to "clean" areas (e.g. on an D_INCONSISTENT device,
and bitmap indicates a block is already in sync) will succeed.
READ to "unclean" areas (bitmap indicates block is out-of-sync),
will return EIO.

If we are already D_DISKLESS (or D_FAILED), we also return EIO.

Unfortunately, on a former R_PRIMARY C_SYNC_TARGET D_INCONSISTENT,
after replication link loss, new WRITE requests still went through OK.

The would also set the "out-of-sync" bit on their way, so READ after
WRITE would still return EIO. Also, the data generation UUIDs had not
been bumped, we would cause data divergence, without being able to
detect it on the next sync handshake, given the right sequence of events
in a multiple error scenario and "improper" order of recovery actions.

The right thing to do is to return EIO for all new writes,
unless we have access to good, current, D_UP_TO_DATE data.

The "established best practices" way to avoid these situations in the
first place is to set OND_SUSPEND_IO, or even do a hard-reset from
the pri-on-incon-degr policy helper hook.

drbd: fix regression: protocol A sometimes synchronous, C sometimes double-latency

2016-06-14T03:43:04+00:00

Regression introduced with 8.4.5
 drbd: application writes may set-in-sync in protocol != C

Overwriting the same block (LBA) while a former version is still
"in-flight" to the peer (to be exact: we did not receive the
P_BARRIER_ACK for its epoch yet) would wait for the full epoch of that
former version to be acknowledged by the peer.

In synchronous and quasi-synchronous protocols C and B,
this may double the latency on overwrites.

With protocol A, which is supposed to be asynchronous and only wait for
local completion, it is even worse: it would make overwrites
quasi-synchronous, they would be hit by the full RTT, which protocol A
was specifically meant to avoid, and possibly the additional time it
takes to drain the buffers first.

Particularly bad for databases, or anything else that
does frequent updates to the same blocks (various file system meta data).

No impact if >= rtt passes between updates to the same block.

block, drivers, fs: rename REQ_FLUSH to REQ_PREFLUSH

2016-06-07T19:41:38+00:00

To avoid confusion between REQ_OP_FLUSH, which is handled by
request_fn drivers, and upper layers requesting the block layer
perform a flush sequence along with possibly a WRITE, this patch
renames REQ_FLUSH to REQ_PREFLUSH.

drbd: fix "endless" transfer log walk in protocol A

2015-11-25T16:22:03+00:00

Don't remember a DRBD request as ack_pending, if it is not.

In protocol A, we usually clear RQ_NET_PENDING at the same time we set
RQ_NET_SENT, so when deciding to remember it as ack_pending,
mod_rq_state needs to look at the current request state,
not at the previous state before the current modification was applied.

This should prevent advance_conn_req_ack_pending() from walking the full
transfer log just to find NULL in protocol A, which would cause serious
performance degradation with many "in-flight" requests, e.g. when
working via DRBD-proxy, or with a huge bandwidth-delay product.

drbd: Create a dedicated workqueue for sending acks on the control connection

2015-11-25T16:22:01+00:00

The intention is to reduce CPU utilization. Recent measurements
unveiled that the current performance bottleneck is CPU utilization
on the receiving node. The asender thread became CPU limited.

One of the main points is to eliminate the idr_for_each_entry() loop
from the sending acks code path.

One exception in that is sending back ping_acks. These stay
in the ack-receiver thread. Otherwise the logic becomes too
complicated for no added value.
