When I run a parallel reading performan testing on a md raid1 device with two NVMe SSDs, I observe very bad throughput in supprise: by fio with 64KB block size, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput is only 2.7GB/s, this is around 50% of the idea performance number. The perf reports locking contention happens at allow_barrier() and wait_barrier() code, - 41.41% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave - _raw_spin_lock_irqsave + 89.92% allow_barrier + 9.34% __wake_up - 37.30% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irq - _raw_spin_lock_irq - 100.00% wait_barrier The reason is, in these I/O barrier related functions, - raise_barrier() - lower_barrier() - wait_barrier() - allow_barrier() They always hold conf->resync_lock firstly, even there are only regular reading I/Os and no resync I/O at all. This is a huge performance penalty. The solution is a lockless-like algorithm in I/O barrier code, and only holding conf->resync_lock when it has to. The original idea is from Hannes Reinecke, and Neil Brown provides comments to improve it. I continue to work on it, and make the patch into current form. In the new simpler raid1 I/O barrier implementation, there are two wait barrier functions, - wait_barrier() Which calls _wait_barrier(), is used for regular write I/O. If there is resync I/O happening on the same I/O barrier bucket, or the whole array is frozen, task will wait until no barrier on same barrier bucket, or the whold array is unfreezed. - wait_read_barrier() Since regular read I/O won't interfere with resync I/O (read_balance() will make sure only uptodate data will be read out), it is unnecessary to wait for barrier in regular read I/Os, waiting in only necessary when the whole array is frozen. The operations on conf->nr_pending[idx], conf->nr_waiting[idx], conf-> barrier[idx] are very carefully designed in raise_barrier(), lower_barrier(), _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier(), in order to avoid unnecessary spin locks in these functions. Once conf-> nr_pengding[idx] is increased, a resync I/O with same barrier bucket index has to wait in raise_barrier(). Then in _wait_barrier() if no barrier raised in same barrier bucket index and array is not frozen, the regular I/O doesn't need to hold conf->resync_lock, it can just increase conf->nr_pending[idx], and return to its caller. wait_read_barrier() is very similar to _wait_barrier(), the only difference is it only waits when array is frozen. For heavy parallel reading I/Os, the lockless I/O barrier code almostly gets rid of all spin lock cost. This patch significantly improves raid1 reading peroformance. From my testing, a raid1 device built by two NVMe SSD, runs fio with 64KB blocksize, 40 seq read I/O jobs, 128 iodepth, overall throughput increases from 2.7GB/s to 4.6GB/s (+70%). Changelog V4: - Change conf->nr_queued[] to atomic_t. - Define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS by (PAGE_SHIFT - ilog2(sizeof(atomic_t))) V3: - Add smp_mb__after_atomic() as Shaohua and Neil suggested. - Change conf->nr_queued[] from atomic_t to int. - Change conf->array_frozen from atomic_t back to int, and use READ_ONCE(conf->array_frozen) to check value of conf->array_frozen in _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier(). - In _wait_barrier() and wait_read_barrier(), add a call to wake_up(&conf->wait_barrier) after atomic_dec(&conf->nr_pending[idx]), to fix a deadlock between _wait_barrier()/wait_read_barrier and freeze_array(). V2: - Remove a spin_lock/unlock pair in raid1d(). - Add more code comments to explain why there is no racy when checking two atomic_t variables at same time. V1: - Original RFC patch for comments.

'Commit 79ef3a8a ("raid1: Rewrite the implementation of iobarrier.")' introduces a sliding resync window for raid1 I/O barrier, this idea limits I/O barriers to happen only inside a slidingresync window, for regular I/Os out of this resync window they don't need to wait for barrier any more. On large raid1 device, it helps a lot to improve parallel writing I/O throughput when there are background resync I/Os performing at same time. The idea of sliding resync widow is awesome, but code complexity is a challenge. Sliding resync window requires several variables to work collectively, this is complexed and very hard to make it work correctly. Just grep "Fixes: 79ef3a8a" in kernel git log, there are 8 more patches to fix the original resync window patch. This is not the end, any further related modification may easily introduce more regreassion. Therefore I decide to implement a much simpler raid1 I/O barrier, by removing resync window code, I believe life will be much easier. The brief idea of the simpler barrier is, - Do not maintain a global unique resync window - Use multiple hash buckets to reduce I/O barrier conflicts, regular I/O only has to wait for a resync I/O when both them have same barrier bucket index, vice versa. - I/O barrier can be reduced to an acceptable number if there are enough barrier buckets Here I explain how the barrier buckets are designed, - BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE The whole LBA address space of a raid1 device is divided into multiple barrier units, by the size of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE. Bio requests won't go across border of barrier unit size, that means maximum bio size is BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE<<9 (64MB) in bytes. For random I/O 64MB is large enough for both read and write requests, for sequential I/O considering underlying block layer may merge them into larger requests, 64MB is still good enough. Neil also points out that for resync operation, "we want the resync to move from region to region fairly quickly so that the slowness caused by having to synchronize with the resync is averaged out over a fairly small time frame". For full speed resync, 64MB should take less then 1 second. When resync is competing with other I/O, it could take up a few minutes. Therefore 64MB size is fairly good range for resync. - BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR There are BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR buckets in total, which is defined by, #define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) #define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR (1<<BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS) this patch makes the bellowed members of struct r1conf from integer to array of integers, - int nr_pending; - int nr_waiting; - int nr_queued; - int barrier; + int *nr_pending; + int *nr_waiting; + int *nr_queued; + int *barrier; number of the array elements is defined as BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR. For 4KB kernel space page size, (PAGE_SHIFT - 2) indecates there are 1024 I/O barrier buckets, and each array of integers occupies single memory page. 1024 means for a request which is smaller than the I/O barrier unit size has ~0.1% chance to wait for resync to pause, which is quite a small enough fraction. Also requesting single memory page is more friendly to kernel page allocator than larger memory size. - I/O barrier bucket is indexed by bio start sector If multiple I/O requests hit different I/O barrier units, they only need to compete I/O barrier with other I/Os which hit the same I/O barrier bucket index with each other. The index of a barrier bucket which a bio should look for is calculated by sector_to_idx() which is defined in raid1.h as an inline function, static inline int sector_to_idx(sector_t sector) { return hash_long(sector >> BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_BITS, BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS); } Here sector_nr is the start sector number of a bio. - Single bio won't go across boundary of a I/O barrier unit If a request goes across boundary of barrier unit, it will be split. A bio may be split in raid1_make_request() or raid1_sync_request(), if sectors returned by align_to_barrier_unit_end() is smaller than original bio size. Comparing to single sliding resync window, - Currently resync I/O grows linearly, therefore regular and resync I/O will conflict within a single barrier units. So the I/O behavior is similar to single sliding resync window. - But a barrier unit bucket is shared by all barrier units with identical barrier uinit index, the probability of conflict might be higher than single sliding resync window, in condition that writing I/Os always hit barrier units which have identical barrier bucket indexs with the resync I/Os. This is a very rare condition in real I/O work loads, I cannot imagine how it could happen in practice. - Therefore we can achieve a good enough low conflict rate with much simpler barrier algorithm and implementation. There are two changes should be noticed, - In raid1d(), I change the code to decrease conf->nr_pending[idx] into single loop, it looks like this, spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags); conf->nr_queued[idx]--; spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags); This change generates more spin lock operations, but in next patch of this patch set, it will be replaced by a single line code, atomic_dec(&conf->nr_queueud[idx]); So we don't need to worry about spin lock cost here. - Mainline raid1 code split original raid1_make_request() into raid1_read_request() and raid1_write_request(). If the original bio goes across an I/O barrier unit size, this bio will be split before calling raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request(), this change the code logic more simple and clear. - In this patch wait_barrier() is moved from raid1_make_request() to raid1_write_request(). In raid_read_request(), original wait_barrier() is replaced by raid1_read_request(). The differnece is wait_read_barrier() only waits if array is frozen, using different barrier function in different code path makes the code more clean and easy to read. Changelog V4: - Add alloc_r1bio() to remove redundant r1bio memory allocation code. - Fix many typos in patch comments. - Use (PAGE_SHIFT - ilog2(sizeof(int))) to define BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR_BITS. V3: - Rebase the patch against latest upstream kernel code. - Many fixes by review comments from Neil, - Back to use pointers to replace arraries in struct r1conf - Remove total_barriers from struct r1conf - Add more patch comments to explain how/why the values of BARRIER_UNIT_SECTOR_SIZE and BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR are decided. - Use get_unqueued_pending() to replace get_all_pendings() and get_all_queued() - Increase bucket number from 512 to 1024 - Change code comments format by review from Shaohua. V2: - Use bio_split() to split the orignal bio if it goes across barrier unit bounday, to make the code more simple, by suggestion from Shaohua and Neil. - Use hash_long() to replace original linear hash, to avoid a possible confilict between resync I/O and sequential write I/O, by suggestion from Shaohua. - Add conf->total_barriers to record barrier depth, which is used to control number of parallel sync I/O barriers, by suggestion from Shaohua. - In V1 patch the bellowed barrier buckets related members in r1conf are allocated in memory page. To make the code more simple, V2 patch moves the memory space into struct r1conf, like this, - int nr_pending; - int nr_waiting; - int nr_queued; - int barrier; + int nr_pending[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR]; + int nr_waiting[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR]; + int nr_queued[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR]; + int barrier[BARRIER_BUCKETS_NR]; This change is by the suggestion from Shaohua. - Remove some inrelavent code comments, by suggestion from Guoqing. - Add a missing wait_barrier() before jumping to retry_write, in raid1_make_write_request().

Firstly bio_clone_mddev() is used in raid normal I/O and isn't in resync I/O path. Secondly all the direct access to bvec table in raid happens on resync I/O except for write behind of raid1, in which we still use bio_clone() for allocating new bvec table. So this patch replaces bio_clone() with bio_clone_fast() in bio_clone_mddev(). Also kill bio_clone_mddev() and call bio_clone_fast() directly, as suggested by Christoph Hellwig.

Write behind need to replace pages in bio's bvecs, and we have to clone a fresh bio with new bvec table, so use the introduced bio_clone_bioset_partial() for it. For other bio_clone_mddev() cases, we will use fast clone since they don't need to touch bvec table.

This makes md do the same thing as dm for write same IO failure. Please see 7eee4ae2(dm: disable WRITE SAME if it fails) for details why we need this. We did a little bit different than dm. Instead of disabling writesame in the first IO error, we disable it till next writesame IO coming after the first IO error. This way we don't need to clone a bio.

stripes which are being reclaimed are still accounted into cached stripes. The reclaim takes time. r5c_do_reclaim isn't aware of the stripes and does unnecessary stripe reclaim. In practice, I saw one stripe is reclaimed one time. This will cause bad IO pattern. Fixing this by excluding the reclaing stripes in the check.

Commit: cbd19983 ("md: Fix unfortunate interaction with evms") change mddev_put() so that it would not destroy an md device while ->ctime was non-zero. Unfortunately, we didn't make sure to clear ->ctime when unloading the module, so it is possible for an md device to remain after module unload. An attempt to open such a device will trigger an invalid memory reference in: get_gendisk -> kobj_lookup -> exact_lock -> get_disk when tring to access disk->fops, which was in the module that has been removed. So ensure we clear ->ctime in md_exit(), and explain how that is useful, as it isn't immediately obvious when looking at the code.

It is important to be able to flush all stripes in raid5-cache. Therefore, we need reserve some space on the journal device for these flushes. If flush operation includes pending writes to the stripe, we need to reserve (conf->raid_disk + 1) pages per stripe for the flush out. This reduces the efficiency of journal space. If we exclude these pending writes from flush operation, we only need (conf->max_degraded + 1) pages per stripe. With this patch, when log space is critical (R5C_LOG_CRITICAL=1), pending writes will be excluded from stripe flush out. Therefore, we can reduce reserved space for flush out and thus improve journal device efficiency. Signed-off-by: Song Liu <songliubraving@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com>

Chunk aligned read significantly reduces CPU usage of raid456. However, it is not safe to fully bypass the write back cache. This patch enables chunk aligned read with write back cache. For chunk aligned read, we track stripes in write back cache at a bigger granularity, "big_stripe". Each chunk may contain more than one stripe (for example, a 256kB chunk contains 64 4kB-page, so this chunk contain 64 stripes). For chunk_aligned_read, these stripes are grouped into one big_stripe, so we only need one lookup for the whole chunk. For each big_stripe, struct big_stripe_info tracks how many stripes of this big_stripe are in the write back cache. We count how many stripes of this big_stripe are in the write back cache. These counters are tracked in a radix tree (big_stripe_tree). r5c_tree_index() is used to calculate keys for the radix tree. chunk_aligned_read() calls r5c_big_stripe_cached() to look up big_stripe of each chunk in the tree. If this big_stripe is in the tree, chunk_aligned_read() aborts. This look up is protected by rcu_read_lock(). It is necessary to remember whether a stripe is counted in big_stripe_tree. Instead of adding new flag, we reuses existing flags: STRIPE_R5C_PARTIAL_STRIPE and STRIPE_R5C_FULL_STRIPE. If either of these two flags are set, the stripe is counted in big_stripe_tree. This requires moving set_bit(STRIPE_R5C_PARTIAL_STRIPE) to r5c_try_caching_write(); and moving clear_bit of STRIPE_R5C_PARTIAL_STRIPE and STRIPE_R5C_FULL_STRIPE to r5c_finish_stripe_write_out().

We made raid5 stripe handling multi-thread before. It works well for SSD. But for harddisk, the multi-threading creates more disk seek, so not always improve performance. For several hard disks based raid5, multi-threading is required as raid5d becames a bottleneck especially for sequential write. To overcome the disk seek issue, we only dispatch IO from raid5d if the array is harddisk based. Other threads can still handle stripes, but can't dispatch IO. Idealy, we should control IO dispatching order according to IO position interrnally. Right now we still depend on block layer, which isn't very efficient sometimes though. My setup has 9 harddisks, each disk can do around 180M/s sequential write. So in theory, the raid5 can do 180 * 8 = 1440M/s sequential write. The test machine uses an ATOM CPU. I measure sequential write with large iodepth bandwidth to raid array: without patch: ~600M/s without patch and group_thread_cnt=4: 750M/s with patch and group_thread_cnt=4: 950M/s with patch, group_thread_cnt=4, skip_copy=1: 1150M/s We are pretty close to the maximum bandwidth in the large iodepth iodepth case. The performance gap of small iodepth sequential write between software raid and theory value is still very big though, because we don't have an efficient pipeline.

Recently I receive a bug report that on Linux v3.0 based kerenl, hot add disk to a md linear device causes kernel crash at linear_congested(). From the crash image analysis, I find in linear_congested(), mddev->raid_disks contains value N, but conf->disks[] only has N-1 pointers available. Then a NULL pointer deference crashes the kernel. There is a race between linear_add() and linear_congested(), RCU stuffs used in these two functions cannot avoid the race. Since Linuv v4.0 RCU code is replaced by introducing mddev_suspend(). After checking the upstream code, it seems linear_congested() is not called in generic_make_request() code patch, so mddev_suspend() cannot provent it from being called. The possible race still exists. Here I explain how the race still exists in current code. For a machine has many CPUs, on one CPU, linear_add() is called to add a hard disk to a md linear device; at the same time on other CPU, linear_congested() is called to detect whether this md linear device is congested before issuing an I/O request onto it. Now I use a possible code execution time sequence to demo how the possible race happens, seq linear_add() linear_congested() 0 conf=mddev->private 1 oldconf=mddev->private 2 mddev->raid_disks++ 3 for (i=0; i<mddev->raid_disks;i++) 4 bdev_get_queue(conf->disks[i].rdev->bdev) 5 mddev->private=newconf In linear_add() mddev->raid_disks is increased in time seq 2, and on another CPU in linear_congested() the for-loop iterates conf->disks[i] by the increased mddev->raid_disks in time seq 3,4. But conf with one more element (which is a pointer to struct dev_info type) to conf->disks[] is not updated yet, accessing its structure member in time seq 4 will cause a NULL pointer deference fault. To fix this race, there are 2 parts of modification in the patch, 1) Add 'int raid_disks' in struct linear_conf, as a copy of mddev->raid_disks. It is initialized in linear_conf(), always being consistent with pointers number of 'struct dev_info disks[]'. When iterating conf->disks[] in linear_congested(), use conf->raid_disks to replace mddev->raid_disks in the for-loop, then NULL pointer deference will not happen again. 2) RCU stuffs are back again, and use kfree_rcu() in linear_add() to free oldconf memory. Because oldconf may be referenced as mddev->private in linear_congested(), kfree_rcu() makes sure that its memory will not be released until no one uses it any more. Also some code comments are added in this patch, to make this modification to be easier understandable. This patch can be applied for kernels since v4.0 after commit: 3be260cc ("md/linear: remove rcu protections in favour of suspend/resume"). But this bug is reported on Linux v3.0 based kernel, for people who maintain kernels before Linux v4.0, they need to do some back back port to this patch. Changelog: - V3: add 'int raid_disks' in struct linear_conf, and use kfree_rcu() to replace rcu_call() in linear_add(). - v2: add RCU stuffs by suggestion from Shaohua and Neil. - v1: initial effort.

After we copy into the bio, we advance the iterator by the number of bytes we copied. Then, we have some logic to handle the case of discontiguous pages and adjust the offset into the working buffer again. However, if we didn't advance the bio to a new page, we may enter this case in error, essentially repeating the adjustment that we already made when we entered the function. The end result is bogus data in the bio. Previously, we only checked for this case when we advanced to a new page, but the conversion to bio iterators changed that. This restores the old, correct behavior. A case I saw when testing with zlib was: buf_start = 42769 total_out = 46865 working_bytes = total_out - buf_start = 4096 start_byte = 45056 The condition (total_out > start_byte && buf_start < start_byte) is true, so we adjust the offset: buf_offset = start_byte - buf_start = 2287 working_bytes -= buf_offset = 1809 current_buf_start = buf_start = 42769 Then, we copy bytes = min(bvec.bv_len, PAGE_SIZE - buf_offset, working_bytes) = 1809 buf_offset += bytes = 4096 working_bytes -= bytes = 0 current_buf_start += bytes = 44578 After bio_advance(), we are still in the same page, so start_byte is the same. Then, we check (total_out > start_byte && current_buf_start < start_byte), which is true! So, we adjust the values again: buf_offset = start_byte - buf_start = 2287 working_bytes = total_out - start_byte = 1809 current_buf_start = buf_start + buf_offset = 45056 But note that working_bytes was already zero before this, so we should have stopped copying.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) If the timing is wrong we can indefinitely stop generating new ipv6 temporary addresses, from Marcus Huewe. 2) Don't double free per-cpu stats in ipv6 SIT tunnel driver, from Cong Wang. 3) Put protections in place so that AF_PACKET is not able to submit packets which don't even have a link level header to drivers. From Willem de Bruijn. 4) Fix memory leaks in ipv4 and ipv6 multicast code, from Hangbin Liu. 5) Don't use udp_ioctl() in l2tp code, UDP version expects a UDP socket and that doesn't go over very well when it is passed an L2TP one. Fix from Eric Dumazet. 6) Don't crash on NULL pointer in phy_attach_direct(), from Florian Fainelli. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: l2tp: do not use udp_ioctl() xen-netfront: Delete rx_refill_timer in xennet_disconnect_backend() NET: mkiss: Fix panic net: hns: Fix the device being used for dma mapping during TX net: phy: Initialize mdio clock at probe function igmp, mld: Fix memory leak in igmpv3/mld_del_delrec() xen-netfront: Improve error handling during initialization sierra_net: Skip validating irrelevant fields for IDLE LSIs sierra_net: Add support for IPv6 and Dual-Stack Link Sense Indications kcm: fix 0-length case for kcm_sendmsg() xen-netfront: Rework the fix for Rx stall during OOM and network stress net: phy: Fix PHY module checks and NULL deref in phy_attach_direct() net: thunderx: Fix PHY autoneg for SGMII QLM mode net: dsa: Do not destroy invalid network devices ping: fix a null pointer dereference packet: round up linear to header len net: introduce device min_header_len sit: fix a double free on error path lwtunnel: valid encap attr check should return 0 when lwtunnel is disabled ipv6: addrconf: fix generation of new temporary addresses

udp_ioctl(), as its name suggests, is used by UDP protocols, but is also used by L2TP :( L2TP should use its own handler, because it really does not look the same. SIOCINQ for instance should not assume UDP checksum or headers. Thanks to Andrey and syzkaller team for providing the report and a nice reproducer. While crashes only happen on recent kernels (after commit 7c13f97f ("udp: do fwd memory scheduling on dequeue")), this probably needs to be backported to older kernels.

rx_refill_timer should be deleted as soon as we disconnect from the backend since otherwise it is possible for the timer to go off before we get to xennet_destroy_queues(). If this happens we may dereference queue->rx.sring which is set to NULL in xennet_disconnect_backend().

If a USB-to-serial adapter is unplugged, the driver re-initializes, with dev->hard_header_len and dev->addr_len set to zero, instead of the correct values. If then a packet is sent through the half-dead interface, the kernel will panic due to running out of headroom in the skb when pushing for the AX.25 headers resulting in this panic: [<c0595468>] (skb_panic) from [<c0401f70>] (skb_push+0x4c/0x50) [<c0401f70>] (skb_push) from [<bf0bdad4>] (ax25_hard_header+0x34/0xf4 [ax25]) [<bf0bdad4>] (ax25_hard_header [ax25]) from [<bf0d05d4>] (ax_header+0x38/0x40 [mkiss]) [<bf0d05d4>] (ax_header [mkiss]) from [<c041b584>] (neigh_compat_output+0x8c/0xd8) [<c041b584>] (neigh_compat_output) from [<c043e7a8>] (ip_finish_output+0x2a0/0x914) [<c043e7a8>] (ip_finish_output) from [<c043f948>] (ip_output+0xd8/0xf0) [<c043f948>] (ip_output) from [<c043f04c>] (ip_local_out_sk+0x44/0x48) This patch makes mkiss behave like the 6pack driver. 6pack does not panic. In 6pack.c sp_setup() (same function name here) the values for dev->hard_header_len and dev->addr_len are set to the same values as in my mkiss patch.

This patch fixes the device being used to DMA map skb->data. Erroneous device assignment causes the crash when SMMU is enabled. This happens during TX since buffer gets DMA mapped with device correspondign to net_device and gets unmapped using the device related to DSAF.
