dm cache: fix truncation bug when mapping I/O to >2TB fast device

2014-02-28T14:23:02+00:00

When remapping a block to the cache's fast device that is larger than
2TB we must not truncate the destination sector to 32bits.  The 32bit
temporary result of from_cblock() was being overflowed in
remap_to_cache() due to the logical left shift.

Use an intermediate 64bit type to store the 32bit from_cblock() result
to fix the overflow.

dm thin: allow metadata space larger than supported to go unused

2014-02-27T16:49:08+00:00

It was always intended that a user could provide a thin metadata device
that is larger than the max supported by the on-disk format.  The extra
space would just go unused.

Unfortunately that never worked.  If the user attempted to use a larger
metadata device on creation they would get an error like the following:

 device-mapper: space map common: space map too large
 device-mapper: transaction manager: couldn't create metadata space map
 device-mapper: thin metadata: tm_create_with_sm failed
 device-mapper: table: 252:17: thin-pool: Error creating metadata object
 device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table

Fix this by allowing the initial metadata space map creation to cap its
size at the max number of blocks supported (DM_SM_METADATA_MAX_BLOCKS).
get_metadata_dev_size() must also impose DM_SM_METADATA_MAX_BLOCKS (via
THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS), otherwise extending metadata would cap at
THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS_WARNING (which is larger than supported).

Also, the calculation for THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS didn't account for
the sizeof the disk_bitmap_header.  So the supported maximum metadata
size is a bit smaller (reduced from 33423360 to 33292800 sectors).

Lastly, remove the "excess space will not be used" warning message from
get_metadata_dev_size(); it resulted in printing the warning multiple
times.  Factor out warn_if_metadata_device_too_big(), call it from
pool_ctr() and maybe_resize_metadata_dev().

dm mpath: fix stalls when handling invalid ioctls

2014-02-26T14:44:44+00:00

An invalid ioctl will never be valid, irrespective of whether multipath
has active paths or not.  So for invalid ioctls we do not have to wait
for multipath to activate any paths, but can rather return an error
code immediately.  This fix resolves numerous instances of:

 udevd[]: worker [] unexpectedly returned with status 0x0100

that have been seen during testing.

dm thin: fix the error path for the thin device constructor

2014-02-24T16:41:18+00:00

dm_pool_close_thin_device() must be called if dm_set_target_max_io_len()
fails in thin_ctr().  Otherwise __pool_destroy() will fail because the
pool will still have an open thin device:

 device-mapper: thin metadata: attempt to close pmd when 1 device(s) are still open
 device-mapper: thin: __pool_destroy: dm_pool_metadata_close() failed.

Also, must establish error code if failing thin_ctr() because the pool
is in fail_io mode.

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().

dm io: fix I/O to multiple destinations

2014-02-17T16:00:05+00:00

Commit 003b5c5719f159f4f4bf97511c4702a0638313dd ("block: Convert drivers
to immutable biovecs") broke dm-mirror due to dm-io breakage.

dm-io had three possible iterators (DM_IO_PAGE_LIST, DM_IO_BVEC,
DM_IO_VMA) that iterate over pages where the I/O should be performed.

The switch to immutable biovecs changed the DM_IO_BVEC iterator to
DM_IO_BIO.  Before this change the iterator stored the pointer to a bio
vector in the dpages structure.  The iterator incremented the pointer in
the dpages structure as it advanced over the pages.  After the immutable
biovecs change, the DM_IO_BIO iterator stores a pointer to the bio in
the dpages structure and uses bio_advance to change the bio as it
advances.

The problem is that the function dispatch_io stores the content of the
dpages structure into the variable old_pages and restores it before
issuing I/O to each of the devices.  Before the change, the statement
"*dp = old_pages;" restored the iterator to its starting position.
After the change, struct dpages holds a pointer to the bio, thus the
statement "*dp = old_pages;" doesn't restore the iterator.

Consequently, in the context of dm-mirror: only the first mirror leg is
written correctly, the kernel locks up when trying to write the other
mirror legs because the number of sectors to write in the where->count
variable doesn't match the number of sectors returned by the iterator.

This patch fixes the bug by partially reverting the original patch - it
changes the code so that struct dpages holds a pointer to the bio vector,
so that the statement "*dp = old_pages;" restores the iterator correctly.

The field "context_u" holds the offset from the beginning of the current
bio vector entry, just like the "bio->bi_iter.bi_bvec_done" field.

dm thin: avoid metadata commit if a pool's thin devices haven't changed

2014-02-17T16:00:05+00:00

Commit 905e51b ("dm thin: commit outstanding data every second")
introduced a periodic commit.  This commit occurs regardless of whether
any thin devices have made changes.

Fix the periodic commit to check if any of a pool's thin devices have
changed using dm_pool_changed_this_transaction().

dm cache: do not add migration to completed list before unhooking bio

2014-02-17T16:00:05+00:00

When completing an overwrite bio, in overwrite_endio(), the associated
migration should not be added to the 'completed_migrations' until the
bio's fields are restored with dm_unhook_bio().

Otherwise, do_worker() can race to process 'completed_migrations' before
dm_unhook_bio() -- so the bio's bi_end_io is incorrect.  This is
unlikely to cause any problems given the current code but should be
fixed on the basis of correctness.

Also, the cache's spinlock only needs to be held when manipulating the
'completed_migrations' list -- other changes don't need protection.

dm cache: move hook_info into common portion of per_bio_data structure

2014-02-17T16:00:05+00:00

Commit c9d28d5d ("dm cache: promotion optimisation for writes")
incorrectly placed the 'hook_info' member in the writethrough-only
portion of the per_bio_data structure.

Given that the overwrite optimization may be used for writeback the
'hook_info' member must be placed above the 'cache' member of the
per_bio_data structure.  Any members above 'cache' are available from
both writeback and writethrough modes' per_bio_data structure.
