dm btree remove: fix a bug when rebalancing nodes after removal

2015-11-03T10:12:31+00:00

commit 2871c69e025e8bc507651d5a9cf81a8a7da9d24b upstream.

Commit 4c7e309340ff ("dm btree remove: fix bug in redistribute3") wasn't
a complete fix for redistribute3().

The redistribute3 function takes 3 btree nodes and shares out the entries
evenly between them.  If the three nodes in total contained
(MAX_ENTRIES * 3) - 1 entries between them then this was erroneously getting
rebalanced as (MAX_ENTRIES - 1) on the left and right, and (MAX_ENTRIES + 1) in
the center.

Fix this issue by being more careful about calculating the target number
of entries for the left and right nodes.

Unit tested in userspace using this program:

dm btree: add ref counting ops for the leaves of top level btrees

2015-10-28T15:37:49+00:00

commit b0dc3c8bc157c60b1d470163882be8c13e1950af upstream.

When using nested btrees, the top leaves of the top levels contain
block addresses for the root of the next tree down.  If we shadow a
shared leaf node the leaf values (sub tree roots) should be incremented
accordingly.

This is only an issue if there is metadata sharing in the top levels.
Which only occurs if metadata snapshots are being used (as is possible
with dm-thinp).  And could result in a block from the thinp metadata
snap being reused early, thus corrupting the thinp metadata snap.

dm btree remove: fix bug in redistribute3

2015-08-04T14:52:16+00:00

commit 4c7e309340ff85072e96f529582d159002c36734 upstream.

redistribute3() shares entries out across 3 nodes.  Some entries were
being moved the wrong way, breaking the ordering.  This manifested as a
BUG() in dm-btree-remove.c:shift() when entries were removed from the
btree.

dm thin: fix discard corruption

2013-03-20T17:21:24+00:00

Fix a bug in dm_btree_remove that could leave leaf values with incorrect
reference counts.  The effect of this was that removal of a shared block
could result in the space maps thinking the block was no longer used.
More concretely, if you have a thin device and a snapshot of it, sending
a discard to a shared region of the thin could corrupt the snapshot.

Thinp uses a 2-level nested btree to store it's mappings.  This first
level is indexed by thin device, and the second level by logical
block.

Often when we're removing an entry in this mapping tree we need to
rebalance nodes, which can involve shadowing them, possibly creating a
copy if the block is shared.  If we do create a copy then children of
that node need to have their reference counts incremented.  In this
way reference counts percolate down the tree as shared trees diverge.

The rebalance functions were incrementing the children at the
appropriate time, but they were always assuming the children were
internal nodes.  This meant the leaf values (in our case packed
block/flags entries) were not being incremented.

dm persistent data: rename node to btree_node

2012-12-21T20:23:30+00:00

This patch fixes a compilation failure on sparc32 by renaming struct node.

struct node is already defined in include/linux/node.h. On sparc32, it
happens to be included through other dependencies and persistent-data
doesn't compile because of conflicting declarations.

dm persistent data: remove redundant value_size arg from value_ptr

2012-03-28T17:41:25+00:00

Now that the value_size is held within every node of the btrees we can
remove this argument from value_ptr().

For the last few months a BUG_ON has been checking this argument is
the same as that held in the node.  No issues were reported.  So this
is a safe change.

dm persistent data: fix btree rebalancing after remove

2012-03-28T17:41:23+00:00

When we remove an entry from a node we sometimes rebalance with it's
two neighbours.  This wasn't being done correctly; in some cases
entries have to move all the way from the right neighbour to the left
neighbour, or vice versa.  This patch pretty much re-writes the
balancing code to fix it.

This code is barely used currently; only when you delete a thin
device, and then only if you have hundreds of them in the same pool.
Once we have discard support, which removes mappings, this will be used
much more heavily.

drivers/md: change module.h -> export.h in persistent-data/dm-*

2011-11-07T18:29:09+00:00

For the files which are not themselves modular, we can change
them to include only the smaller export.h since all they are
doing is looking for EXPORT_SYMBOL.

dm: add persistent data library

2011-10-31T20:19:11+00:00

The persistent-data library offers a re-usable framework for the storage
and management of on-disk metadata in device-mapper targets.

It's used by the thin-provisioning target in the next patch and in an
upcoming hierarchical storage target.
