* dm thin: return ENOSPC instead of EIO when error_if_no_space enabledMike Snitzer2014-06-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Update the DM thin provisioning target's allocation failure error to be consistent with commit a9d6ceb8 ("[SCSI] return ENOSPC on thin provisioning failure"). The DM thin target now returns -ENOSPC rather than -EIO when block allocation fails due to the pool being out of data space (and the 'error_if_no_space' thin-pool feature is enabled).

* dm: add cache targetJoe Thornber2013-03-011-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a target that allows a fast device such as an SSD to be used as a cache for a slower device such as a disk. A plug-in architecture was chosen so that the decisions about which data to migrate and when are delegated to interchangeable tunable policy modules. The first general purpose module we have developed, called "mq" (multiqueue), follows in the next patch. Other modules are under development.

* dm thin: remove cells from stackJoe Thornber2013-03-011-1/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch takes advantage of the new bio-prison interface where the memory is now passed in rather than using a mempool in bio-prison. This allows the map function to avoid performing potentially-blocking allocations that could lead to deadlocks: We want to avoid the cell allocation that is done in bio_detain. (The potential for mempool deadlocks still remains in other functions that use bio_detain.) Signed-off-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
* dm bio prison: pass cell memory inJoe Thornber2013-03-011-8/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the dm_bio_prison interface so that instead of allocating memory internally, dm_bio_detain is supplied with a pre-allocated cell each time it is called. This enables a subsequent patch to move the allocation of the struct dm_bio_prison_cell outside the thin target's mapping function so it can no longer block there.

* dm thin: replace dm_cell_release_singleton with cell_defer_exceptJoe Thornber2012-12-211-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change existing users of the function dm_cell_release_singleton to share cell_defer_except instead, and then remove the now-unused function. Everywhere that calls dm_cell_release_singleton, the bio in question is the holder of the cell. If there are no non-holder entries in the cell then cell_defer_except behaves exactly like dm_cell_release_singleton. Conversely, if there *are* non-holder entries then dm_cell_release_singleton must not be used because those entries would need to be deferred. Consequently, it is safe to replace use of dm_cell_release_singleton with cell_defer_except. This patch is a pre-requisite for "dm thin: fix race between simultaneous io and discards to same block".

* dm thin: move bio_prison code to separate moduleMike Snitzer2012-10-121-0/+72
The bio prison code will be useful to other future DM targets so move it to a separate module. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
