2019-09-12dm: add clone targetNikos Tsironis1-0/+14
Add the dm-clone target, which allows cloning of arbitrary block devices. dm-clone produces a one-to-one copy of an existing, read-only source device into a writable destination device: It presents a virtual block device which makes all data appear immediately, and redirects reads and writes accordingly. The main use case of dm-clone is to clone a potentially remote, high-latency, read-only, archival-type block device into a writable, fast, primary-type device for fast, low-latency I/O. The cloned device is visible/mountable immediately and the copy of the source device to the destination device happens in the background, in parallel with user I/O. When the cloning completes, the dm-clone table can be removed altogether and be replaced, e.g., by a linear table, mapping directly to the destination device. For further information and examples of how to use dm-clone, please read Documentation/admin-guide/device-mapper/dm-clone.rst Suggested-by: Vangelis Koukis <vkoukis@arrikto.com> Co-developed-by: Ilias Tsitsimpis <iliastsi@arrikto.com> Signed-off-by: Ilias Tsitsimpis <iliastsi@arrikto.com> Signed-off-by: Nikos Tsironis <ntsironis@arrikto.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>
2019-09-03dm crypt: switch to ESSIV crypto API templateArd Biesheuvel1-0/+1
Replace the explicit ESSIV handling in the dm-crypt driver with calls into the crypto API, which now possesses the capability to perform this processing within the crypto subsystem. Note that we reorder the AEAD cipher_api string parsing with the TFM instantiation: this is needed because cipher_api is mangled by the ESSIV handling, and throws off the parsing of "authenc(" otherwise.

2019-08-23dm verity: add root hash pkcs#7 signature verificationJaskaran Khurana1-0/+12
The verification is to support cases where the root hash is not secured by Trusted Boot, UEFI Secureboot or similar technologies. One of the use cases for this is for dm-verity volumes mounted after boot, the root hash provided during the creation of the dm-verity volume has to be secure and thus in-kernel validation implemented here will be used before we trust the root hash and allow the block device to be created. The signature being provided for verification must verify the root hash and must be trusted by the builtin keyring for verification to succeed. The hash is added as a key of type "user" and the description is passed to the kernel so it can look it up and use it for verification. Adds CONFIG_DM_VERITY_VERIFY_ROOTHASH_SIG which can be turned on if root hash verification is needed. Kernel commandline dm_verity module parameter 'require_signatures' will indicate whether to force root hash signature verification (for all dm verity volumes).

2019-04-30dm: add dust targetBryan Gurney1-0/+9
Add the dm-dust target, which simulates the behavior of bad sectors at arbitrary locations, and the ability to enable the emulation of the read failures at an arbitrary time. This target behaves similarly to a linear target. At a given time, the user can send a message to the target to start failing read requests on specific blocks. When the failure behavior is enabled, reads of blocks configured "bad" will fail with EIO. Writes of blocks configured "bad" will result in the following: 1. Remove the block from the "bad block list". 2. Successfully complete the write. After this point, the block will successfully contain the written data, and will service reads and writes normally. This emulates the behavior of a "remapped sector" on a hard disk drive. dm-dust provides logging of which blocks have been added or removed to the "bad block list", as well as logging when a block has been removed from the bad block list. These messages can be used alongside the messages from the driver using a dm-dust device to analyze the driver's behavior when a read fails at a given time. (This logging can be reduced via a "quiet" mode, if desired.) NOTE: If the block size is larger than 512 bytes, only the first sector of each "dust block" is detected. Placing a limiting layer above a dust target, to limit the minimum I/O size to the dust block size, will ensure proper emulation of the given large block size.

2019-03-05dm: add support to directly boot to a mapped deviceHelen Koike1-0/+12
Add a "create" module parameter, which allows device-mapper targets to be configured at boot time. This enables early use of DM targets in the boot process (as the root device or otherwise) without the need of an initramfs. The syntax used in the boot param is based on the concise format from the dmsetup tool to follow the rule of least surprise: dmsetup table --concise /dev/mapper/lroot Which is: dm-mod.create=<name>,<uuid>,<minor>,<flags>,<table>[,<table>+][;<name>,<uuid>,<minor>,<flags>,<table>[,<table>+]+] Where, <name> ::= The device name. <uuid> ::= xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx | "" <minor> ::= The device minor number | "" <flags> ::= "ro" | "rw" <table> ::= <start_sector> <num_sectors> <target_type> <target_args> <target_type> ::= "verity" | "linear" | ... For example, the following could be added in the boot parameters: dm-mod.create="lroot,,,rw, 0 4096 linear 98:16 0, 4096 4096 linear 98:32 0" root=/dev/dm-0 Only the targets that were tested are allowed and the ones that don't change any block device when the device is create as read-only. For example, mirror and cache targets are not allowed. The rationale behind this is that if the user makes a mistake, choosing the wrong device to be the mirror or the cache can corrupt data. The only targets initially allowed are: * crypt * delay * linear * snapshot-origin * striped * verity Co-developed-by: Will Drewry <wad@chromium.org> Co-developed-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Co-developed-by: Enric Balletbo i Serra <enric.balletbo@collabora.com> Signed-off-by: Helen Koike <helen.koike@collabora.com> Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

2017-06-19dm zoned: drive-managed zoned block device targetDamien Le Moal1-0/+17
The dm-zoned device mapper target provides transparent write access to zoned block devices (ZBC and ZAC compliant block devices). dm-zoned hides to the device user (a file system or an application doing raw block device accesses) any constraint imposed on write requests by the device, equivalent to a drive-managed zoned block device model. Write requests are processed using a combination of on-disk buffering using the device conventional zones and direct in-place processing for requests aligned to a zone sequential write pointer position. A background reclaim process implemented using dm_kcopyd_copy ensures that conventional zones are always available for executing unaligned write requests. The reclaim process overhead is minimized by managing buffer zones in a least-recently-written order and first targeting the oldest buffer zones. Doing so, blocks under regular write access (such as metadata blocks of a file system) remain stored in conventional zones, resulting in no apparent overhead. dm-zoned implementation focus on simplicity and on minimizing overhead (CPU, memory and storage overhead). For a 14TB host-managed disk with 256 MB zones, dm-zoned memory usage per disk instance is at most about 3 MB and as little as 5 zones will be used internally for storing metadata and performing buffer zone reclaim operations. This is achieved using zone level indirection rather than a full block indirection system for managing block movement between zones. dm-zoned primary target is host-managed zoned block devices but it can also be used with host-aware device models to mitigate potential device-side performance degradation due to excessive random writing. Zoned block devices can be formatted and checked for use with the dm-zoned target using the dmzadm utility available at: https://github.com/hgst/dm-zoned-tools Signed-off-by: Damien Le Moal <damien.lemoal@wdc.com> Reviewed-by: Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.com> Reviewed-by: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@sandisk.com> [Mike Snitzer partly refactored Damien's original work to cleanup the code] Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams: "The bulk of this has been in multiple -next releases. There were a few late breaking fixes and small features that got added in the last couple days, but the whole set has received a build success notification from the kbuild robot. Change summary: - Region media error reporting: A libnvdimm region device is the parent to one or more namespaces. To date, media errors have been reported via the "badblocks" attribute attached to pmem block devices for namespaces in "raw" or "memory" mode. Given that namespaces can be in "device-dax" or "btt-sector" mode this new interface reports media errors generically, i.e. independent of namespace modes or state. This subsequently allows userspace tooling to craft "ACPI 6.1 Section 9.20.7.6 Function Index 4 - Clear Uncorrectable Error" requests and submit them via the ioctl path for NVDIMM root bus devices. - Introduce 'struct dax_device' and 'struct dax_operations': Prompted by a request from Linus and feedback from Christoph this allows for dax capable drivers to publish their own custom dax operations. This fixes the broken assumption that all dax operations are related to a persistent memory device, and makes it easier for other architectures and platforms to add customized persistent memory support. - 'libnvdimm' core updates: A new "deep_flush" sysfs attribute is available for storage appliance applications to manually trigger memory controllers to drain write-pending buffers that would otherwise be flushed automatically by the platform ADR (asynchronous-DRAM-refresh) mechanism at a power loss event. Support for "locked" DIMMs is included to prevent namespaces from surfacing when the namespace label data area is locked. Finally, fixes for various reported deadlocks and crashes, also tagged for -stable. - ACPI / nfit driver updates: General updates of the nfit driver to add DSM command overrides, ACPI 6.1 health state flags support, DSM payload debug available by default, and various fixes.

2017-03-24dm: add integrity targetMikulas Patocka1-0/+10
The dm-integrity target emulates a block device that has additional per-sector tags that can be used for storing integrity information. A general problem with storing integrity tags with every sector is that writing the sector and the integrity tag must be atomic - i.e. in case of crash, either both sector and integrity tag or none of them is written. To guarantee write atomicity the dm-integrity target uses a journal. It writes sector data and integrity tags into a journal, commits the journal and then copies the data and integrity tags to their respective location. The dm-integrity target can be used with the dm-crypt target - in this situation the dm-crypt target creates the integrity data and passes them to the dm-integrity target via bio_integrity_payload attached to the bio. In this mode, the dm-crypt and dm-integrity targets provide authenticated disk encryption - if the attacker modifies the encrypted device, an I/O error is returned instead of random data. The dm-integrity target can also be used as a standalone target, in this mode it calculates and verifies the integrity tag internally. In this mode, the dm-integrity target can be used to detect silent data corruption on the disk or in the I/O path.

The cache policy interfaces have been updated to work well with the new bio-prison v2 interface's ability to queue work immediately (promotion, demotion, etc) -- overriding benefit being reduced latency on processing IO through the cache. Previously such work would be left for the DM cache core to queue on various lists and then process in batches later -- this caused a serious delay in latency for IO driven by the cache. The background tracker code was factored out so that all cache policies can make use of it. Also, the "cleaner" policy has been removed and is now a variant of the smq policy that simply disallows migrations.

2015-12-10dm verity: add support for forward error correctionSami Tolvanen1-0/+12
Add support for correcting corrupted blocks using Reed-Solomon. This code uses RS(255, N) interleaved across data and hash blocks. Each error-correcting block covers N bytes evenly distributed across the combined total data, so that each byte is a maximum distance away from the others. This makes it possible to recover from several consecutive corrupted blocks with relatively small space overhead. In addition, using verity hashes to locate erasures nearly doubles the effectiveness of error correction. Being able to detect corrupted blocks also improves performance, because only corrupted blocks need to corrected. For a 2 GiB partition, RS(255, 253) (two parity bytes for each 253-byte block) can correct up to 16 MiB of consecutive corrupted blocks if erasures can be located, and 8 MiB if they cannot, with 16 MiB space overhead.

2015-12-10dm bufio: store stacktrace in buffers to help find buffer leaksMikulas Patocka1-0/+9
The option DM_DEBUG_BLOCK_STACK_TRACING is moved from persistent-data directory to device mapper directory because it will now be used by persistent-data and bufio. When the option is enabled, each bufio buffer stores the stacktrace of the last dm_bufio_get(), dm_bufio_read() or dm_bufio_new() call that increased the hold count to 1. The buffer's stacktrace is printed if the buffer was not released before the bufio client is destroyed. When DM_DEBUG_BLOCK_STACK_TRACING is enabled, any bufio buffer leaks are considered warnings - i.e. the kernel continues afterwards. If not enabled, buffer leaks are considered BUGs and the kernel with crash. Reasoning on this disposition is: if we only ever warned on buffer leaks users would generally ignore them and the problematic code would never get fixed. Successfully used to find source of bufio leaks fixed with commit fce079f63c3 ("dm btree: fix bufio buffer leaks in dm_btree_del() error path").

2015-06-12dm cache: add stochastic-multi-queue (smq) policyJoe Thornber1-0/+12
The stochastic-multi-queue (smq) policy addresses some of the problems with the current multiqueue (mq) policy. Memory usage ------------ The mq policy uses a lot of memory; 88 bytes per cache block on a 64 bit machine. SMQ uses 28bit indexes to implement it's data structures rather than pointers. It avoids storing an explicit hit count for each block. It has a 'hotspot' queue rather than a pre cache which uses a quarter of the entries (each hotspot block covers a larger area than a single cache block). All these mean smq uses ~25bytes per cache block. Still a lot of memory, but a substantial improvement nontheless. Level balancing --------------- MQ places entries in different levels of the multiqueue structures based on their hit count (~ln(hit count)). This means the bottom levels generally have the most entries, and the top ones have very few. Having unbalanced levels like this reduces the efficacy of the multiqueue. SMQ does not maintain a hit count, instead it swaps hit entries with the least recently used entry from the level above. The over all ordering being a side effect of this stochastic process. With this scheme we can decide how many entries occupy each multiqueue level, resulting in better promotion/demotion decisions. Adaptability ------------ The MQ policy maintains a hit count for each cache block. For a different block to get promoted to the cache it's hit count has to exceed the lowest currently in the cache. This means it can take a long time for the cache to adapt between varying IO patterns. Periodically degrading the hit counts could help with this, but I haven't found a nice general solution. SMQ doesn't maintain hit counts, so a lot of this problem just goes away. In addition it tracks performance of the hotspot queue, which is used to decide which blocks to promote. If the hotspot queue is performing badly then it starts moving entries more quickly between levels. This lets it adapt to new IO patterns very quickly. Performance ----------- In my tests SMQ shows substantially better performance than MQ. Once this matures a bit more I'm sure it'll become the default policy.

2015-04-15dm: add log writes targetJosef Bacik1-0/+16
Introduce a new target that is meant for file system developers to test file system integrity at particular points in the life of a file system. We capture all write requests and associated data and log them to a separate device for later replay. There is a userspace utility to do this replay. The idea behind this is to give file system developers a tool to verify that the file system is always consistent.

Also, you can check what mode a given request-based DM device is using with: cat /sys/block/dm-X/dm/use_blk_mq This change enabled further cleanup and reduced work (e.g. the md->io_pool and md->rq_pool isn't created if using blk-mq).

2014-03-28dm: add era targetJoe Thornber1-0/+11
dm-era is a target that behaves similar to the linear target. In addition it keeps track of which blocks were written within a user defined period of time called an 'era'. Each era target instance maintains the current era as a monotonically increasing 32-bit counter. Use cases include tracking changed blocks for backup software, and partially invalidating the contents of a cache to restore cache coherency after rolling back a vendor snapshot. dm-era is primarily expected to be paired with the dm-cache target.

2014-01-15dm sysfs: fix a module unload raceMikulas Patocka1-0/+4
This reverts commit be35f48610 ("dm: wait until embedded kobject is released before destroying a device") and provides an improved fix. The kobject release code that calls the completion must be placed in a non-module file, otherwise there is a module unload race (if the process calling dm_kobject_release is preempted and the DM module unloaded after the completion is triggered, but before dm_kobject_release returns). To fix this race, this patch moves the completion code to dm-builtin.c which is always compiled directly into the kernel if BLK_DEV_DM is selected. The patch introduces a new dm_kobject_holder structure, its purpose is to keep the completion and kobject in one place, so that it can be accessed from non-module code without the need to export the layout of struct mapped_device to that code.
