pblk guarantees write ordering at a chunk level through a per open chunk semaphore. At this point, since we only have an open I/O stream for both user and GC data, the semaphore is per parallel unit. For the metadata I/O that is synchronous, the semaphore is not needed as ordering is guaranteed. However, if the metadata scheme changes or multiple streams are open, this guarantee might not be preserved. This patch makes sure that all writes go through the semaphore, even for synchronous I/O. This is consistent with pblk's write I/O model. It also simplifies maintenance since changes in the metadata scheme could cause ordering issues.

pblk maintains two different metadata paths for smeta and emeta, which store metadata at the start of the line and at the end of the line, respectively. Until now, these path has been common for writing and retrieving metadata, however, as these paths diverge, the common code becomes less clear and unnecessary complicated. In preparation for further changes to the metadata write path, this patch separates the write and read paths for smeta and emeta and removes the synchronous emeta path as it not used anymore (emeta is scheduled asynchronously to prevent jittering due to internal I/Os).

The lightnvm subsystem provides helpers to retrieve chunk metadata, where the target needs to provide a buffer to store the metadata. An implicit assumption is that this buffer is contiguous and can be used to retrieve the data from the device. If the device exposes too many chunks, then kmalloc might fail, thus failing instance creation. This patch removes this assumption by implementing an internal buffer in the lightnvm subsystem to retrieve chunk metadata. Targets can then use virtual memory allocations. Since this is a target API change, adapt pblk accordingly.

Pblk should not create a set of global caches every time a pblk instance is created. The global caches should be made available only when there is one or more pblk instances. This patch bundles the global caches together with a kref keeping track of whether the caches should be available or not. Also, turn the global pblk lock into a mutex that explicitly protects the caches (as this was the only purpose of the lock).

Remove the debug only iteration within __pblk_down_page, which then allows us to reduce the number of arguments down to pblk and the parallel unit from the functions that calls it. Simplifying the callers logic considerably. Also, rename the functions pblk_[down/up]_page to pblk_[down/up]_chunk, to communicate that it manages the write pointer of the chunk. Note that it also protects the parallel unit such that at most one chunk is active per parallel unit.

Line map bitmap allocations are fairly large and can fail. Allocation failures are fatal to pblk, stopping the write pipeline. To avoid this, allocate the bitmaps using a mempool instead. Mempool allocations never fail if called from a process context, and pblk *should* only allocate map bitmaps in process context, but keep the failure handling for robustness sake.

There is a number of places in the lightnvm subsystem where the user iterates over the ppa list. Before iterating, the user must know if it is a single or multiple LBAs due to vector commands using either the nvm_rq ->ppa_addr or ->ppa_list fields on command submission, which leads to open-coding the if/else statement. Instead of having multiple if/else's, move it into a function that can be called by its users. A nice side effect of this cleanup is that this patch fixes up a bunch of cases where we don't consider the single-ppa case in pblk.

The read completion path uses the put_line variable to decide whether the reference on a line should be released. The function name used for that is pblk_read_put_rqd_kref, which could lead one to believe that it is the rqd that is releasing the reference, while it is the line reference that is put. Rename and also split the function in two to account for either rqd or single ppa callers and move it to core, such that it later can be used in the write path as well.

pblk implements two data paths for recovery line state. One for 1.2 and another for 2.0, instead of having pblk implement these, combine them in the core to reduce complexity and make available to other targets. The new interface will adhere to the 2.0 chunk definition, including managing open chunks with an active write pointer. To provide this interface, a 1.2 device recovers the state of the chunks by manually detecting if a chunk is either free/open/close/offline, and if open, scanning the flash pages sequentially to find the next writeable page. This process takes on average ~10 seconds on a device with 64 dies, 1024 blocks and 60us read access time. The process can be parallelized but is left out for maintenance simplicity, as the 1.2 specification is deprecated. For 2.0 devices, the logic is maintained internally in the drive and retrieved through the 2.0 interface. Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling <mb@lightnvm.io> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

In pblk, when a new line is allocated, metadata for the previously written line is scheduled. This is done through a fixed memory region that is shared through time and contexts across different lines and therefore protected by a lock. Unfortunately, this lock is not properly covering all the metadata used for sharing this memory regions, resulting in a race condition. This patch fixes this race condition by protecting this metadata properly.

rqd.error is masked by the return value of pblk_submit_io_sync. The rqd structure is then passed on to the end_io function, which assumes that any error should lead to a chunk being marked offline/bad. Since the pblk_submit_io_sync can fail before the command is issued to the device, the error value maybe not correspond to a media failure, leading to chunks being immaturely retired. Also, the pblk_blk_erase_sync function prints an error message in case the erase fails. Since the caller prints an error message by itself, remove the error message in this function.

Lot of controllers may have only one irq vector for completing IO request. And usually affinity of the only irq vector is all possible CPUs, however, on most of ARCH, there may be only one specific CPU for handling this interrupt. So if all IOs are completed in hardirq context, it is inevitable to degrade IO performance because of increased irq latency. This patch tries to address this issue by allowing to complete request in softirq context, like the legacy IO path. IOPS is observed as ~13%+ in the following randread test on raid0 over virtio-scsi. mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --level=0 --chunk=1024 --raid-devices=8 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd /dev/sde /dev/sdf /dev/sdg /dev/sdh /dev/sdi fio --time_based --name=benchmark --runtime=30 --filename=/dev/md0 --nrfiles=1 --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=32 --direct=1 --invalidate=1 --verify=0 --verify_fatal=0 --numjobs=32 --rw=randread --blocksize=4k Cc: Dongli Zhang <dongli.zhang@oracle.com> Cc: Zach Marano <zmarano@google.com> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Cc: Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@acm.org> Cc: Jianchao Wang <jianchao.w.wang@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
