commit cd8ddbf7a5e206fe6995ab0aee245d597dd6a7f2 upstream.
When a REQ_FLUSH reaches pblk, the bio cannot be directly completed.
Instead, data on the write buffer is flushed and the bio is completed on
the completion pah. This might require some sectors to be padded in
order to guarantee a successful write.
This patch fixes a memory leak on the padded pages. A consequence of
this bad free was that internal bios not containing data (only a flush)
were not being completed.

[ Upstream commit bd432417681a224d9fa4a9d43be7d4edc82135b2 ]
pblk uses an internal page mempool for allocating pages on internal
bios. The main two users of this memory pool are partial reads (reads
with some sectors in cache and some on media) and padded writes, which
need to add dummy pages to an existing bio already containing valid
data (and with a large enough bioset allocated). In both cases, the
maximum number of pages per bio is defined by the maximum number of
physical sectors supported by the underlying device.
This patch fixes a bad mempool allocation, where the min_nr of elements
on the pool was fixed (to 16), which is lower than the maximum number
of sectors supported by NVMe (as of the time for this patch). Instead,
use the maximum number of allowed sectors reported by the device.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

When a lba either hits the cache or corresponds to an empty entry in the
L2P table, we need to advance the bio according to the position in which
the lba is located. Otherwise, we will copy data in the wrong page, thus
causing data corruption for the application.
In case of a cache hit, we assumed that bio->bi_iter.bi_idx would
contain the correct index, but this is no necessarily true. Instead, use
the local bio advance counter and iterator. This guarantees that lbas
hitting the cache are copied into the right bv_page.
In case of an empty L2P entry, we omitted to advance the bio. In the
cases when the same I/O also contains a cache hit, data corresponding
to this lba will be copied to the wrong bv_page. Fix this by advancing
the bio as we do in the case of a cache hit.

When a read is directed to the cache, we risk that the lba has been
updated during the time we made the L2P table lookup and the time we are
actually reading form the cache. We intentionally not hold the L2P lock
not to block other threads.
While strict ordering is not a guarantee at this level (unless REQ_FLUSH
has been previously issued), we have experience that some databases that
have recently implemented direct I/O support, issue metadata reads very
close to the writes, without issuing a fsync in the middle. An easy way
to support them while they is to make an extra effort and check the L2P
map right before reading the cache.

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.

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.

At the moment, we separate the closed lines on three different list
based on their number of valid sectors. GC recycles lines from each list
based on capacity. Lines from each list are taken in a FIFO fashion.
Since the number of lines is limited (it corresponds to the number of
blocks in a LUN, which is somewhere between 1000-2000), we can afford
scanning the lists to choose the optimal line to be recycled. This helps
specially in lines with a high number of valid sectors.
If the number of blocks per LUN increases, we will consider a more
efficient policy.

At the moment, line metadata is persisted on a separate work queue, that
is kicked each time that a line is closed. The assumption when designing
this was that freeing the write thread from creating a new write request
was better than the potential impact of writes colliding on the media
(user I/O and metadata I/O). Experimentation has proven that this
assumption is wrong; collision can cause up to 25% of bandwidth and
introduce long tail latencies on the write thread, which potentially
cause user write threads to spend more time spinning to get a free entry
on the write buffer.
This patch moves the metadata logic to the write thread. When a line is
closed, remaining metadata is written in memory and is placed on a
metadata queue. The write thread then takes the metadata corresponding
to the previous line, creates the write request and schedules it to
minimize collisions on the media. Using this approach, we see that we
can saturate the media's bandwidth, which helps reducing both write
latencies and the spinning time for user writer threads.

Read requests allocate some extra memory to store its per I/O context.
Instead of requiring yet another memory pool for other type of requests,
generalize this context allocation (and change naming accordingly).

Erase I/Os are scheduled with the following goals in mind: (i) minimize
LUNs collisions with write I/Os, and (ii) even out the price of erasing
on every write, instead of putting all the burden on when garbage
collection runs. This works well on the current design, but is specific
to the default mapping algorithm.
This patch generalizes the erase path so that other mapping algorithms
can select an arbitrary line to be erased instead. It also gets rid of
the erase semaphore since it creates jittering for user writes.

pblk_submit_read() uses bio_clone_bioset() but doesn't change the
io_vec, so bio_clone_fast() is a better choice.
It also uses fs_bio_set which is intended for filesystems. Using it
in a device driver can deadlock.
So allocate a new bioset, and and use bio_clone_fast().

blk_queue_split() is always called with the last arg being q->bio_split,
where 'q' is the first arg.
Also blk_queue_split() sometimes uses the passed-in 'bs' and sometimes uses
q->bio_split.
This is inconsistent and unnecessary. Remove the last arg and always use
q->bio_split inside blk_queue_split()

Replace bi_error with a new bi_status to allow for a clear conversion.
Note that device mapper overloaded bi_error with a private value, which
we'll have to keep arround at least for now and thus propagate to a
proper blk_status_t value.

'blks' is malloced in pblk_bb_discovery() and should be freed
before leaving from the nvm_get_tgt_bb_tbl() error handling cases,
otherwise it will cause memory leak. Also skip assign blks to
rlun->bb_list when error.

When block erases fail, these blocks are marked bad. The number of valid
blocks in the line was not updated, which could cause an infinite loop
on the erase path.
Fix this atomic counter and, in order to avoid taking an irq lock on the
interrupt context, make the erase counters atomic too.
Also, in the case that a significant number of blocks become bad in a
line, the result is the double shared metadata buffer (emeta) to stop
the pipeline until all metadata is flushed to the media. Increase the
number of metadata lines from 2 to 4 to avoid this case.
