2018-07-13lightnvm: pblk: expose generic disk name on pr_* msgsMatias Bjørling1-22/+22
The error messages in pblk does not say which pblk instance that a message occurred from. Update each error message to reflect the instance it belongs to, and also prefix it with pblk, so we know the message comes from the pblk module.

2018-06-13treewide: Use array_size() in vzalloc()Kees Cook1-1/+1
The vzalloc() function has no 2-factor argument form, so multiplication factors need to be wrapped in array_size(). This patch replaces cases of: vzalloc(a * b) with: vzalloc(array_size(a, b)) as well as handling cases of: vzalloc(a * b * c) with: vzalloc(array3_size(a, b, c)) This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like: vzalloc(4 * 1024) though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion. Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were dropped, since they're redundant. The Coccinelle script used for this was: // Fix redundant parens around sizeof(). @@ type TYPE; expression THING, E; @@ ( vzalloc( - (sizeof(TYPE)) * E + sizeof(TYPE) * E , ...) | vzalloc( - (sizeof(THING)) * E + sizeof(THING) * E , ...) ) // Drop single-byte sizes and redundant parens. @@ expression COUNT; typedef u8; typedef __u8; @@ ( vzalloc( - sizeof(u8) * (COUNT) + COUNT , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(__u8) * (COUNT) + COUNT , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(char) * (COUNT) + COUNT , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(unsigned char) * (COUNT) + COUNT , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(u8) * COUNT + COUNT , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(__u8) * COUNT + COUNT , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(char) * COUNT + COUNT , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(unsigned char) * COUNT + COUNT , ...) ) // 2-factor product with sizeof(type/expression) and identifier or constant. @@ type TYPE; expression THING; identifier COUNT_ID; constant COUNT_CONST; @@ ( vzalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * (COUNT_ID) + array_size(COUNT_ID, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * COUNT_ID + array_size(COUNT_ID, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * (COUNT_CONST) + array_size(COUNT_CONST, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * COUNT_CONST + array_size(COUNT_CONST, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(THING) * (COUNT_ID) + array_size(COUNT_ID, sizeof(THING)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(THING) * COUNT_ID + array_size(COUNT_ID, sizeof(THING)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(THING) * (COUNT_CONST) + array_size(COUNT_CONST, sizeof(THING)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(THING) * COUNT_CONST + array_size(COUNT_CONST, sizeof(THING)) , ...) ) // 2-factor product, only identifiers. @@ identifier SIZE, COUNT; @@ vzalloc( - SIZE * COUNT + array_size(COUNT, SIZE) , ...) // 3-factor product with 1 sizeof(type) or sizeof(expression), with // redundant parens removed. @@ expression THING; identifier STRIDE, COUNT; type TYPE; @@ ( vzalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * (COUNT) * (STRIDE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * (COUNT) * STRIDE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * COUNT * (STRIDE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * COUNT * STRIDE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(THING) * (COUNT) * (STRIDE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(THING)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(THING) * (COUNT) * STRIDE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(THING)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(THING) * COUNT * (STRIDE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(THING)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(THING) * COUNT * STRIDE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(THING)) , ...) ) // 3-factor product with 2 sizeof(variable), with redundant parens removed. @@ expression THING1, THING2; identifier COUNT; type TYPE1, TYPE2; @@ ( vzalloc( - sizeof(TYPE1) * sizeof(TYPE2) * COUNT + array3_size(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE1), sizeof(TYPE2)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(TYPE1) * sizeof(THING2) * (COUNT) + array3_size(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE1), sizeof(TYPE2)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(THING1) * sizeof(THING2) * COUNT + array3_size(COUNT, sizeof(THING1), sizeof(THING2)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(THING1) * sizeof(THING2) * (COUNT) + array3_size(COUNT, sizeof(THING1), sizeof(THING2)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(TYPE1) * sizeof(THING2) * COUNT + array3_size(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE1), sizeof(THING2)) , ...) | vzalloc( - sizeof(TYPE1) * sizeof(THING2) * (COUNT) + array3_size(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE1), sizeof(THING2)) , ...) ) // 3-factor product, only identifiers, with redundant parens removed. @@ identifier STRIDE, SIZE, COUNT; @@ ( vzalloc( - (COUNT) * STRIDE * SIZE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) | vzalloc( - COUNT * (STRIDE) * SIZE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) | vzalloc( - COUNT * STRIDE * (SIZE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) | vzalloc( - (COUNT) * (STRIDE) * SIZE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) | vzalloc( - COUNT * (STRIDE) * (SIZE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) | vzalloc( - (COUNT) * STRIDE * (SIZE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) | vzalloc( - (COUNT) * (STRIDE) * (SIZE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) | vzalloc( - COUNT * STRIDE * SIZE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) ) // Any remaining multi-factor products, first at least 3-factor products // when they're not all constants... @@ expression E1, E2, E3; constant C1, C2, C3; @@ ( vzalloc(C1 * C2 * C3, ...) | vzalloc( - E1 * E2 * E3 + array3_size(E1, E2, E3) , ...) ) // And then all remaining 2 factors products when they're not all constants. @@ expression E1, E2; constant C1, C2; @@ ( vzalloc(C1 * C2, ...) | vzalloc( - E1 * E2 + array_size(E1, E2) , ...) ) Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

Currently, the device geometry is stored redundantly in the nvm_id and nvm_geo structures at a device level. Moreover, when instantiating targets on a specific number of LUNs, these structures are replicated and manually modified to fit the instance channel and LUN partitioning. Instead, create a generic geometry around nvm_geo, which can be used by (i) the underlying device to describe the geometry of the whole device, and (ii) instances to describe their geometry independently.

2018-03-30lightnvm: pblk: export write amplification counters to sysfsHans Holmberg1-0/+25
In a SSD, write amplification, WA, is defined as the average number of page writes per user page write. Write amplification negatively affects write performance and decreases the lifetime of the disk, so it's a useful metric to add to sysfs. In plkb's case, the number of writes per user sector is the sum of: (1) number of user writes (2) number of sectors written by the garbage collector (3) number of sectors padded (i.e. due to syncs) This patch adds persistent counters for 1-3 and two sysfs attributes to export these along with WA calculated with five decimals: write_amp_mileage: the accumulated write amplification stats for the lifetime of the pblk instance write_amp_trip: resetable stats to facilitate delta measurements, values reset at creation and if 0 is written to the attribute. 64-bit counters are used as a 32 bit counter would wrap around already after about 17 TB worth of user data. It will take a long long time before the 64 bit sector counters wrap around. The counters are stored after the bad block bitmap in the first emeta sector of each written line. There is plenty of space in the first emeta sector, so we don't need to bump the major version of the line data format.

2018-03-30lightnvm: pblk: check data lines version on recoveryHans Holmberg1-2/+24
As a preparation for future bumps of data line persistent storage versions, we need to start checking the emeta line version during recovery. Also slit up the current emeta/smeta version into two bytes (major,minor). Recovering lines with the same major number as the current pblk data line version must succeed. This means that any changes in the persistent format must be: (1) Backward compatible: if we switch back to and older kernel, recovery of lines stored with major == current_major and minor > current_minor must succeed. (2) Forward compatible: switching to a newer kernel, recovery of lines stored with major=current_major and minor < minor must handle the data format differences gracefully(i.e. initialize new data structures to default values). If we detect lines that have a different major number than the current we must abort recovery. The user must manually migrate the data in this case. Previously the version stored in the emeta header was copied from smeta, which has version 1, so we need to set the minor version to 1.

2017-10-13lightnvm: pblk: consider bad sectors in emeta during recoveryHans Holmberg1-14/+30
When recovering lines we need to consider that bad blocks in a line affect the emeta area size. Previously it was assumed that the emeta area would grow by the number of sectors per page * number of bad blocks in the line. This assumption is not correct - the number of "extra" pages that are consumed could be both smaller (depending on emeta size) and bigger (depending on the placement of the bad blocks). Fix this by calculating the emeta start by iterating backwards through the line, skipping ppas that map to bad blocks. Also fix the data types used for ppa indices/counts in pblk_recov_l2p_from_emeta - we should use u64.

2017-06-27lightnvm: pblk: fail gracefully on irrec. errorJavier González1-9/+22
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.

2017-06-27lightnvm: pblk: sched. metadata on write threadJavier González1-32/+35
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.

2017-04-16lightnvm: physical block device (pblk) targetJavier González1-0/+998
This patch introduces pblk, a host-side translation layer for Open-Channel SSDs to expose them like block devices. The translation layer allows data placement decisions, and I/O scheduling to be managed by the host, enabling users to optimize the SSD for their specific workloads. An open-channel SSD has a set of LUNs (parallel units) and a collection of blocks. Each block can be read in any order, but writes must be sequential. Writes may also fail, and if a block requires it, must also be reset before new writes can be applied. To manage the constraints, pblk maintains a logical to physical address (L2P) table, write cache, garbage collection logic, recovery scheme, and logic to rate-limit user I/Os versus garbage collection I/Os. The L2P table is fully-associative and manages sectors at a 4KB granularity. Pblk stores the L2P table in two places, in the out-of-band area of the media and on the last page of a line. In the cause of a power failure, pblk will perform a scan to recover the L2P table. The user data is organized into lines. A line is data striped across blocks and LUNs. The lines enable the host to reduce the amount of metadata to maintain besides the user data and makes it easier to implement RAID or erasure coding in the future. pblk implements multi-tenant support and can be instantiated multiple times on the same drive. Each instance owns a portion of the SSD - both regarding I/O bandwidth and capacity - providing I/O isolation for each case. Finally, pblk also exposes a sysfs interface that allows user-space to peek into the internals of pblk. The interface is available at /dev/block/*/pblk/ where * is the block device name exposed.
