This patch adds the ability to requeue write I/O to
core device-mapper when there is a log device failure.
If a write to the log produces and error, the pending writes are
put on the "failures" list. Since the log is marked as failed,
they will stay on the failures list until a suspend happens.
Suspends come in two phases, presuspend and postsuspend. We must
make sure that all the writes on the failures list are requeued
in the presuspend phase (a requirement of dm core). This means
that recovery must be complete (because writes may be delayed
behind it) and the failures list must be requeued before we
return from presuspend.
The mechanisms to ensure recovery is complete (or stopped) was
already in place, but needed to be moved from postsuspend to
presuspend. We rely on 'flush_workqueue' to ensure that the
mirror thread is complete and therefore, has requeued all writes
in the failures list.
Because we are using flush_workqueue, we must ensure that no
additional 'queue_work' calls will produce additional I/O
that we need to requeue (because once we return from
presuspend, we are unable to do anything about it). 'queue_work'
is called in response to the following functions:
- complete_resync_work = NA, recovery is stopped
- rh_dec (mirror_end_io) = NA, only calls 'queue_work' if it
is ready to recover the region
(recovery is stopped) or it needs
to clear the region in the log*
**this doesn't get called while
suspending**
- rh_recovery_end = NA, recovery is stopped
- rh_recovery_start = NA, recovery is stopped
- write_callback = 1) Writes w/o failures simply call
bio_endio -> mirror_end_io -> rh_dec
(see rh_dec above)
2) Writes with failures are put on
the failures list and queue_work is
called**
** write_callbacks don't happen
during suspend **
- do_failures = NA, 'queue_work' not called if suspending
- add_mirror (initialization) = NA, only done on mirror creation
- queue_bio = NA, 1) delayed I/O scheduled before flush_workqueue
is called. 2) No more I/Os are being issued.
3) Re-attempted READs can still be handled.
(Write completions are handled through rh_dec/
write_callback - mention above - and do not
use queue_bio.)

This patch adds the calls to 'fail_mirror' if an error occurs during

This patch gives mirror the ability to handle device failures
during normal write operations.
The 'write_callback' function is called when a write completes.
If all the writes failed or succeeded, we report failure or
success respectively. If some of the writes failed, we call
fail_mirror; which increments the error count for the device, notes
the type of error encountered (DM_RAID1_WRITE_ERROR), and
selects a new primary (if necessary). Note that the primary
device can never change while the mirror is not in-sync (IOW,
while recovery is happening.) This means that the scenario
where a failed write changes the primary and gives
recovery_complete a chance to misread the primary never happens.
The fact that the primary can change has necessitated the change
to the default_mirror field. We need to protect against reading
garbage while the primary changes. We then add the bio to a new
list in the mirror set, 'failures'. For every bio in the 'failures'
list, we call a new function, '__bio_mark_nosync', where we mark
the region 'not-in-sync' in the log and properly set the region
state as, RH_NOSYNC. Userspace must also be notified of the
failure. This is done by 'raising an event' (dm_table_event()).
If fail_mirror is called in process context the event can be raised
right away. If in interrupt context, the event is deferred to the
kmirrord thread - which raises the event if 'event_waiting' is set.
Backwards compatibility is maintained by ignoring errors if
the DM_FEATURES_HANDLE_ERRORS flag is not present.

This patch adds the stripe_end_io function to process errors that might
occur after an IO operation. As part of this there are a number of
enhancements made to record and trigger events:
- New atomic variable in struct stripe to record the number of
errors each stripe volume device has experienced (could be used
later with uevents to report back directly to userspace)
- New workqueue/work struct setup to process the trigger_event function
- New end_io function. It is here that testing for BIO error conditions
take place. It determines the exact stripe that cause the error,
records this in the new atomic variable, and calls the queue_work() function
- New trigger_event function to process failure events. This
calls dm_table_event()

The statistics provided here allow the monitoring of allocator behavior but
at the cost of some (minimal) loss of performance. Counters are placed in
SLUB's per cpu data structure. The per cpu structure may be extended by the
statistics to grow larger than one cacheline which will increase the cache
footprint of SLUB.
There is a compile option to enable/disable the inclusion of the runtime
statistics and its off by default.
The slabinfo tool is enhanced to support these statistics via two options:
-D Switches the line of information displayed for a slab from size
mode to activity mode.
-A Sorts the slabs displayed by activity. This allows the display of
the slabs most important to the performance of a certain load.
-r Report option will report detailed statistics on
Example (tbench load):

Add Partial: Number of slabs added to the partial list through free or

Remove Partial: Number of slabs removed from the partial list as a result of
allocations retrieving a partial slab or by a free freeing
the last object of a slab.
RemoteObj/Froz: How many times were remotely freed object encountered when a
slab was about to be deactivated. Frozen: How many times was
free able to skip list processing because the slab was in use
as the cpuslab of another processor.
Flushes: Number of times the cpuslab was flushed on request
(kmem_cache_shrink, may result from races in __slab_alloc)
Refill: Number of times we were able to refill the cpuslab from
remotely freed objects for the same slab.
Deactivate: Statistics how slabs were deactivated. Shows how they were
put onto the partial list.
In general fastpath is very good. Slowpath without partial list processing is
also desirable. Any touching of partial list uses node specific locks which
may potentially cause list lock contention.

Provide an alternate implementation of the SLUB fast paths for alloc
and free using cmpxchg_local. The cmpxchg_local fast path is selected
for arches that have CONFIG_FAST_CMPXCHG_LOCAL set. An arch should only
set CONFIG_FAST_CMPXCHG_LOCAL if the cmpxchg_local is faster than an
interrupt enable/disable sequence. This is known to be true for both
x86 platforms so set FAST_CMPXCHG_LOCAL for both arches.
Currently another requirement for the fastpath is that the kernel is
compiled without preemption. The restriction will go away with the
introduction of a new per cpu allocator and new per cpu operations.
The advantages of a cmpxchg_local based fast path are:
1. Potentially lower cycle count (30%-60% faster)
2. There is no need to disable and enable interrupts on the fast path.
Currently interrupts have to be disabled and enabled on every
slab operation. This is likely avoiding a significant percentage
of interrupt off / on sequences in the kernel.
3. The disposal of freed slabs can occur with interrupts enabled.
The alternate path is realized using #ifdef's. Several attempts to do the
same with macros and inline functions resulted in a mess (in particular due
to the strange way that local_interrupt_save() handles its argument and due
to the need to define macros/functions that sometimes disable interrupts
and sometimes do something else).

We use a NULL pointer on freelists to signal that there are no more objects.
However the NULL pointers of all slabs match in contrast to the pointers to
the real objects which are in different ranges for different slab pages.
Change the end pointer to be a pointer to the first object and set bit 0.
Every slab will then have a different end pointer. This is necessary to ensure
that end markers can be matched to the source slab during cmpxchg_local.
Bring back the use of the mapping field by SLUB since we would otherwise have
to call a relatively expensive function page_address() in __slab_alloc(). Use
of the mapping field allows avoiding a call to page_address() in various other
functions as well.
There is no need to change the page_mapping() function since bit 0 is set on
the mapping as also for anonymous pages. page_mapping(slab_page) will
therefore still return NULL although the mapping field is overloaded.
