2017-06-30lightnvm: pblk: schedule if data is not readyJavier González
When user threads place data into the write buffer, they reserve space and do the memory copy out of the lock. As a consequence, when the write thread starts persisting data, there is a chance that it is not copied yet. In this case, avoid polling, and schedule before retrying.

2017-06-29blk-mq: map all HWQ also in hyperthreaded systemMax Gurtovoy
This patch performs sequential mapping between CPUs and queues. In case the system has more CPUs than HWQs then there are still CPUs to map to HWQs. In hyperthreaded system, map the unmapped CPUs and their siblings to the same HWQ. This actually fixes a bug that found unmapped HWQs in a system with 2 sockets, 18 cores per socket, 2 threads per core (total 72 CPUs) running NVMEoF (opens upto maximum of 64 HWQs). Performance results running fio (72 jobs, 128 iodepth) using null_blk (w/w.o patch): bs IOPS(read submit_queues=72) IOPS(write submit_queues=72) IOPS(read submit_queues=24) IOPS(write submit_queues=24) ----- ---------------------------- ------------------------------ ---------------------------- ----------------------------- 512 4890.4K/4723.5K 4524.7K/4324.2K 4280.2K/4264.3K 3902.4K/3909.5K 1k 4910.1K/4715.2K 4535.8K/4309.6K 4296.7K/4269.1K 3906.8K/3914.9K 2k 4906.3K/4739.7K 4526.7K/4330.6K 4301.1K/4262.4K 3890.8K/3900.1K 4k 4918.6K/4730.7K 4556.1K/4343.6K 4297.6K/4264.5K 3886.9K/3893.9K 8k 4906.4K/4748.9K 4550.9K/4346.7K 4283.2K/4268.8K 3863.4K/3858.2K 16k 4903.8K/4782.6K 4501.5K/4233.9K 4292.3K/4282.3K 3773.1K/3773.5K 32k 4885.8K/4782.4K 4365.9K/4184.2K 4307.5K/4289.4K 3780.3K/3687.3K 64k 4822.5K/4762.7K 2752.8K/2675.1K 4308.8K/4312.3K 2651.5K/2655.7K 128k 2388.5K/2313.8K 1391.9K/1375.7K 2142.8K/2152.2K 1395.5K/1374.2K Signed-off-by: Max Gurtovoy <maxg@mellanox.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2017-06-28nvmet-rdma: register ib_client to not deadlock in device removalSagi Grimberg
We can deadlock in case we got to a device removal event on a queue which is already in the process of destroying the cm_id is this is blocking until all events on this cm_id will drain. On the other hand we cannot guarantee that rdma_destroy_id was invoked as we only have indication that the queue disconnect flow has been queued (the queue state is updated before the realease work has been queued). So, we leave all the queue removal to a separate ib_client to avoid this deadlock as ib_client device removal is in a different context than the cm_id itself.

2017-06-28nvme_fc: fix error recovery on link down.James Smart
Currently, the fc transport invokes nvme_fc_error_recovery() on every io in which the transport detects an error. Which means: a) it's really noisy on large io loads that all get hit by a link down. b) we repeatively call nvme_stop_queues() even though queues are stopped upon the first error or as first steps of reset_work. Correct by: Errors are only meaningful if the controller is in the LIVE state. Thus, enact the reset_work only if LIVE. If called repeatively, state will have already transitioned. There's no need to stop the queues here. Let the first steps of reset_work do the queue stopping.

2017-06-28nvmet_fc: fix crashes on bad opcodesJames Smart
if a nvme command is issued with an opcode that is not supported by the target (example: opcode 21 - detach namespace), the target crashes due to a null pointer. nvmet_req_init() detects the bad opcode and immediately calls the nvme command done routine with an error status, allowing the transport to send the response. However, the FC transport was aborting the command on error, so the abort freed the lldd point, but the rsp transmit path referenced it psot the free. Fix by removing the abort call on nvmet_req_init() failure. The completion response will be sent with an error status code. As the completion path will terminate the io, ensure the data_sg lists show an unused state so that teardown paths are successful.

2017-06-28nvme: Remove SCSI translationsKeith Busch
The SCSI-to-NVMe translations were added to assist storage applications utilizing SG_IO transitioning to NVMe. It was always recommended, however, to use native NVMe for device management as too much is lost in translation and the maintenance burden in keeping this kludgey layer around has been neglected such that much of the translations are completely broken. This patch removes SG_IO handling from NVMe to avoid any confusion regarding maintenance support for this interface. The config option for NVMe SCSI emulation has been disabled by default since 4.5. The driver has supported native nvme user commands since the beginning, and native tooling is publicly available for use or as reference for anyone writing their own tools, so there's no excuse for hanging onto a broken crutch.

2017-06-27block, bfq: update wr_busy_queues if needed on a queue splitPaolo Valente
This commit fixes a bug triggered by a non-trivial sequence of events. These events are briefly described in the next two paragraphs. The impatiens, or those who are familiar with queue merging and splitting, can jump directly to the last paragraph. On each I/O-request arrival for a shared bfq_queue, i.e., for a bfq_queue that is the result of the merge of two or more bfq_queues, BFQ checks whether the shared bfq_queue has become seeky (i.e., if too many random I/O requests have arrived for the bfq_queue; if the device is non rotational, then random requests must be also small for the bfq_queue to be tagged as seeky). If the shared bfq_queue is actually detected as seeky, then a split occurs: the bfq I/O context of the process that has issued the request is redirected from the shared bfq_queue to a new non-shared bfq_queue. As a degenerate case, if the shared bfq_queue actually happens to be shared only by one process (because of previous splits), then no new bfq_queue is created: the state of the shared bfq_queue is just changed from shared to non shared. Regardless of whether a brand new non-shared bfq_queue is created, or the pre-existing shared bfq_queue is just turned into a non-shared bfq_queue, several parameters of the non-shared bfq_queue are set (restored) to the original values they had when the bfq_queue associated with the bfq I/O context of the process (that has just issued an I/O request) was merged with the shared bfq_queue. One of these parameters is the weight-raising state. If, on the split of a shared bfq_queue, 1) a pre-existing shared bfq_queue is turned into a non-shared bfq_queue; 2) the previously shared bfq_queue happens to be busy; 3) the weight-raising state of the previously shared bfq_queue happens to change; the number of weight-raised busy queues changes. The field wr_busy_queues must then be updated accordingly, but such an update was missing. This commit adds the missing update.

F_SET_FILE_RW_HINT Set one of the above write hints on the file descriptor. The user passes in a 64-bit pointer to get/set these values, and the interface returns 0/-1 on success/error. Sample program testing/implementing basic setting/getting of write hints is below. Add support for storing the write life time hint in the inode flags and in struct file as well, and pass them to the kiocb flags. If both a file and its corresponding inode has a write hint, then we use the one in the file, if available. The file hint can be used for sync/direct IO, for buffered writeback only the inode hint is available. This is in preparation for utilizing these hints in the block layer, to guide on-media data placement. /* * writehint.c: get or set an inode write hint */ #include <stdio.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <stdbool.h> #include <inttypes.h> #ifndef F_GET_RW_HINT #define F_LINUX_SPECIFIC_BASE 1024 #define F_GET_RW_HINT (F_LINUX_SPECIFIC_BASE + 11) #define F_SET_RW_HINT (F_LINUX_SPECIFIC_BASE + 12) #endif static char *str[] = { "RWF_WRITE_LIFE_NOT_SET", "RWH_WRITE_LIFE_NONE", "RWH_WRITE_LIFE_SHORT", "RWH_WRITE_LIFE_MEDIUM", "RWH_WRITE_LIFE_LONG", "RWH_WRITE_LIFE_EXTREME" }; int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { uint64_t hint; int fd, ret; if (argc < 2) { fprintf(stderr, "%s: file <hint>\n", argv[0]); return 1; } fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY); if (fd < 0) { perror("open"); return 2; } if (argc > 2) { hint = atoi(argv[2]); ret = fcntl(fd, F_SET_RW_HINT, &hint); if (ret < 0) { perror("fcntl: F_SET_RW_HINT"); return 4; } } ret = fcntl(fd, F_GET_RW_HINT, &hint); if (ret < 0) { perror("fcntl: F_GET_RW_HINT"); return 3; } printf("%s: hint %s\n", argv[1], str[hint]); close(fd); return 0; } Reviewed-by: Martin K.

While creating new device with NVM_DEV_CREATE if LUNs are already allocated ioctl would return -ENOMEM which is wrong. This patch propagates -EBUSY from nvm_reserve_luns which is correct response.

2017-06-26lightnvm: pblk: fail gracefully on irrec. errorJavier González
Due to user writes being decoupled from media writes because of the need of an intermediate write buffer, irrecoverable media write errors lead to pblk stalling; user writes fill up the buffer and end up in an infinite retry loop. In order to let user writes fail gracefully, it is necessary for pblk to keep track of its own internal state and prevent further writes from being placed into the write buffer. This patch implements a state machine to keep track of internal errors and, in case of failure, fail further user writes in an standard way. Depending on the type of error, pblk will do its best to persist buffered writes (which are already acknowledged) and close down on a graceful manner. This way, data might be recovered by re-instantiating pblk. Such state machine paves out the way for a state-based FTL log.

2017-06-26lightnvm: pblk: set mempool and workqueue params.Javier González
Make constants to define sizes for internal mempools and workqueues. In this process, adjust the values to be more meaningful given the internal constrains of the FTL. In order to do this for workqueues, separate the current auxiliary workqueue into two dedicated workqueues to manage lines being closed and bad blocks.

2017-06-26lightnvm: pblk: redesign GC algorithmJavier González
At the moment, in order to get enough read parallelism, we have recycled several lines at the same time. This approach has proven not to work well when reaching capacity, since we end up mixing valid data from all lines, thus not maintaining a sustainable free/recycled line ratio. The new design, relies on a two level workqueue mechanism. In the first level, we read the metadata for a number of lines based on the GC list they reside on (this is governed by the number of valid sectors in each line). In the second level, we recycle a single line at a time. Here, we issue reads in parallel, while a single GC write thread places data in the write buffer. This design allows to (i) only move data from one line at a time, thus maintaining a sane free/recycled ration and (ii) maintain the GC writer busy with recycled data.
