* workqueue: deprecate flush[_delayed]_work_sync()Tejun Heo2012-08-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | flush[_delayed]_work_sync() are now spurious. Mark them deprecated and convert all users to flush[_delayed]_work(). If you're cc'd and wondering what's going on: Now all workqueues are non-reentrant and the regular flushes guarantee that the work item is not pending or running on any CPU on return, so there's no reason to use the sync flushes at all and they're going away. This patch doesn't make any functional difference.

* dm thin: commit before gathering statusAlasdair G Kergon2012-07-271-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit outstanding metadata before returning the status for a dm thin pool so that the numbers reported are as up-to-date as possible. The commit is not performed if the device is suspended or if the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG is supplied by userspace and passed to the target through a new 'status_flags' parameter in the target's dm_status_fn. The userspace dmsetup tool will support the --noflush flag with the 'dmsetup status' and 'dmsetup wait' commands from version 1.02.76 onwards.

* dm stripe: optimize chunk_size calculationsMikulas Patocka2012-07-271-3/+23

* dm: support non power of two target max_io_lenMike Snitzer2012-07-271-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the restriction that limits a target's specified maximum incoming I/O size to be a power of 2. Rename this setting from 'split_io' to the less-ambiguous 'max_io_len'. Change it from sector_t to uint32_t, which is plenty big enough, and introduce a wrapper function dm_set_target_max_io_len() to set it.

| | | | | | | | | | | The structure stripe_c contains a stripes_mask field. This field is useless because it can be trivially calculated by subtracting one from stripes. It is used only at one place.

* dm stripe: fix size testMikulas Patocka2012-07-271-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | dm-stripe is supposed to ensure that all the space allocated to the stripes is fully used and that all stripes are the same size. This patch fixes the test. It checks that device length is divisible by the chunk size and checks that the resulting quotient is divisible by the number of stripes (which is equivalent to testing if device length is divisible by chunk_size * stripes). Previously, the code only tested that the number of sectors in the target was divisible by each of the chunk size and the number of stripes separately, which could leave entire stripes unused. (A setup that genuinely needs some stripes to be shorter than others can be created by concatenating striped targets.)

* dm: reject trailing characters in sccanf inputMikulas Patocka2012-03-281-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Device mapper uses sscanf to convert arguments to numbers. The problem is that the way we use it ignores additional unmatched characters in the scanned string. For example, this `if (sscanf(string, "%d", &number) == 1)' will match a number, but also it will match number with some garbage appended, like "123abc". As a result, device mapper accepts garbage after some numbers. For example the command `dmsetup create vg1-new --table "0 16384 linear 254:1bla 34816bla"' will pass without an error. This patch fixes all sscanf uses in device mapper. It appends "%c" with a pointer to a dummy character variable to every sscanf statement. The construct `if (sscanf(string, "%d%c", &number, &dummy) == 1)' succeeds only if string is a null-terminated number (optionally preceded by some whitespace characters). If there is some character appended after the number, sscanf matches "%c", writes the character to the dummy variable and returns 2. We check the return value for 1 and consequently reject numbers with some garbage appended.

* dm stripe: implement merge methodMustafa Mesanovic2011-03-241-1/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement a merge function in the striped target. When the striped target's underlying devices provide a merge_bvec_fn (like all DM devices do via dm_merge_bvec) it is important to call down to them when building a biovec that doesn't span a stripe boundary. Without the merge method, a striped DM device stacked on DM devices causes bios with a single page to be submitted which results in unnecessary overhead that hurts performance. This change really helps filesystems (e.g. XFS and now ext4) which take care to assemble larger bios. By implementing stripe_merge(), DM and the stripe target no longer undermine the filesystem's work by only allowing a single page per bio. Buffered IO sees the biggest improvement (particularly uncached reads, buffered writes to a lesser degree). This is especially so for more capable "enterprise" storage LUNs. The performance improvement has been measured to be ~12-35% -- when a reasonable chunk_size is used (e.g. 64K) in conjunction with a stripe count that is a power of 2. In contrast, the performance penalty is ~5-7% for the pathological worst case stripe configuration (small chunk_size with a stripe count that is not a power of 2). The reason for this is that stripe_map_sector() is now called once for every call to dm_merge_bvec(). stripe_map_sector() will use slower division if stripe count isn't a power of 2.

* dm: implement REQ_FLUSH/FUA support for bio-based dmTejun Heo2010-09-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch converts bio-based dm to support REQ_FLUSH/FUA instead of now deprecated REQ_HARDBARRIER. * -EOPNOTSUPP handling logic dropped. * Preflush is handled as before but postflush is dropped and replaced with passing down REQ_FUA to member request_queues. This replaces one array wide cache flush w/ member specific FUA writes. * __split_and_process_bio() now calls __clone_and_map_flush() directly for flushes and guarantees all FLUSH bio's going to targets are zero ` length. * It's now guaranteed that all FLUSH bio's which are passed onto dm targets are zero length. bio_empty_barrier() tests are replaced with REQ_FLUSH tests. * Empty WRITE_BARRIERs are replaced with WRITE_FLUSHes. * Dropped unlikely() around REQ_FLUSH tests. Flushes are not unlikely enough to be marked with unlikely(). * Block layer now filters out REQ_FLUSH/FUA bio's if the request_queue doesn't support cache flushing. Advertise REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA capability. * Request based dm isn't converted yet. dm_init_request_based_queue() resets flush support to 0 for now. To avoid disturbing request based dm code, dm->flush_error is added for bio based dm while requested based dm continues to use dm->barrier_error.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
