v9 cover Support ext4 on NV-DIMMs

From: Matthew Wilcox <[email protected]>

One of the primary uses for NV-DIMMs is to expose them as a block device and use a filesystem to store files on the NV-DIMM. While that works, it currently wastes memory and CPU time buffering the files in the page cache. We have support in ext2 for bypassing the page cache, but it has some races which are unfixable in the current design. This series of patches rewrite the underlying support, and add support for direct access to ext4.

This iteration of the patchset rebases to 3.16-rc7 and makes substantial changes based on feedback from Jan Kara, Boaz Harrosh and Kirill Shutemov:

- Fixes a double-unlock on i_mmap_mutex
- Switch the order of calling delete_from_page_cache() and unmap_mapping_range() to match the truncate path
- Make dax_mkwrite a macro (Kirill)
- Drop vm_replace_mixed(); instead call unmap_mapping_range() before calling vm_insert_mixed() (Kirill)
- Avoid lock inversion between i_mmap_mutex and transaction start (Jan)
- Move alignment & length checks into bdev_direct_access() (Boaz)
- Fix bugs in COW code; unfortunately this means reintroducing the knowledge that the i_mmap_mutex protects PFNs to the core MM code.

PATCH v9 2/22 Change direct_access calling convention

In reply to Matthew Wilcox

In order to support accesses to larger chunks of memory, pass in a 'size' parameter (counted in bytes), and return the amount available at that address.

Add a new helper function, bdev_direct_access(), to handle common functionality including partition handling, checking for the sector being page-aligned, and checking the length of the request does not pass the end of the partition.

 Execute-in-place is implemented in three steps: block device operation,
 address space operation, and file operations.
 
-A block device operation named direct_access is used to retrieve a
-reference (pointer) to a block on-disk. The reference is supposed to be
-cpu-addressable, physical address and remain valid until the release operation
-is performed. A struct block_device reference is used to address the device,
-and a sector_t argument is used to identify the individual block. As an
-alternative, memory technology devices can be used for this.
+A block device operation named direct_access is used to translate the
+block device sector number to a page frame number (pfn) that identifies
+the physical page for the memory.  It also returns a kernel virtual
+address that can be used to access the memory.
+
+The direct_access method takes a 'size' parameter that indicates the
+number of bytes being requested.  The function should return the number
+of bytes that it can provide, although it must not exceed the number of
+bytes requested.  It may also return a negative errno if an error occurs.
 
 The block device operation is optional, these block devices support it as of
 today:

PATCH v9 3/22 Fix XIP fault vs truncate race

In reply to Matthew Wilcox

Pagecache faults recheck i_size after taking the page lock to ensure that the fault didn't race against a truncate. We don't have a page to lock in the XIP case, so use the i_mmap_mutex instead. It is locked in the truncate path in unmap_mapping_range() after updating i_size. So while we hold it in the fault path, we are guaranteed that either i_size has already been updated in the truncate path, or that the truncate will subsequently call zap_page_range_single() and so remove the mapping we have just inserted.

There is a window of time in which i_size has been reduced and the thread has a mapping to a page which will be removed from the file, but this is harmless as the page will not be allocated to a different purpose before the thread's access to it is revoked.

PATCH v9 4/22 Allow page fault handlers to perform the COW

In reply to Matthew Wilcox

Currently COW of an XIP file is done by first bringing in a read-only mapping, then retrying the fault and copying the page. It is much more efficient to tell the fault handler that a COW is being attempted (by passing in the pre-allocated page in the vm_fault structure), and allow the handler to perform the COW operation itself.

The handler cannot insert the page itself if there is already a read-only mapping at that address, so allow the handler to return VM_FAULT_LOCKED and set the fault_page to be NULL. This indicates to the MM code that the i_mmap_mutex is held instead of the page lock.

PATCH v9 5/22 Introduce IS_DAX(inode)

Use an inode flag to tag inodes which should avoid using the page cache. Convert ext2 to use it instead of mapping_is_xip().

PATCH v9 6/22 Add copy_to_iter(), copy_from_iter() and iov_iter_zero()

In reply to Matthew Wilcox

From: Matthew Wilcox <[email protected]>

For DAX, we want to be able to copy between iovecs and kernel addresses that don't necessarily have a struct page. This is a fairly simple rearrangement for bvec iters to kmap the pages outside and pass them in, but for user iovecs it gets more complicated because we might try various different ways to kmap the memory. Duplicating the existing logic works out best in this case.

We need to be able to write zeroes to an iovec for reads from unwritten ranges in a file. This is performed by the new iov_iter_zero() function, again patterned after the existing code that handles iovec iterators.

PATCH v9 8/22 Replace ext2_clear_xip_target with dax_clear_blocks

In reply to Matthew Wilcox

This is practically generic code; other filesystems will want to call it from other places, but there's nothing ext2-specific about it.

Make it a little more generic by allowing it to take a count of the number of bytes to zero rather than fixing it to a single page. Thanks to Dave Hansen for suggesting that I need to call cond_resched() if zeroing more than one page.

Instead of calling aops->get_xip_mem from the fault handler, the filesystem passes a get_block_t that is used to find the appropriate blocks.

PATCH v9 11/22 Replace XIP documentation with DAX documentation

In reply to Matthew Wilcox

From: Matthew Wilcox <[email protected]>

Based on the original XIP documentation, this documents the current state of affairs, and includes instructions on how users can enable DAX if their devices and kernel support it.

+Direct Access for files
+-----------------------
+
+Motivation
+----------
+
+The page cache is usually used to buffer reads and writes to files.
+It is also used to provide the pages which are mapped into userspace
+by a call to mmap.
+
+For block devices that are memory-like, the page cache pages would be
+unnecessary copies of the original storage.  The DAX code removes the
+extra copy by performing reads and writes directly to the storage device.
+For file mappings, the storage device is mapped directly into userspace.
+
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+If you have a block device which supports DAX, you can make a filesystem
+on it as usual.  When mounting it, use the -o dax option manually
+or add 'dax' to the options in /etc/fstab.
+
+
+Implementation Tips for Block Driver Writers
+--------------------------------------------
+
+To support DAX in your block driver, implement the 'direct_access'
+block device operation.  It is used to translate the sector number
+(expressed in units of 512-byte sectors) to a page frame number (pfn)
+that identifies the physical page for the memory.  It also returns a
+kernel virtual address that can be used to access the memory.
+
+The direct_access method takes a 'size' parameter that indicates the
+number of bytes being requested.  The function should return the number
+of bytes that it can provide, although it must not exceed the number of
+bytes requested.  It may also return a negative errno if an error occurs.
+
+In order to support this method, the storage must be byte-accessible by
+the CPU at all times.  If your device uses paging techniques to expose
+a large amount of memory through a smaller window, then you cannot
+implement direct_access.  Equally, if your device can occasionally
+stall the CPU for an extended period, you should also not attempt to
+implement direct_access.
+
+These block devices may be used for inspiration:
+- axonram: Axon DDR2 device driver
+- brd: RAM backed block device driver
+- dcssblk: s390 dcss block device driver
+
+
+Implementation Tips for Filesystem Writers
+------------------------------------------
+
+Filesystem support consists of
+- adding support to mark inodes as being DAX by setting the S_DAX flag in
+  i_flags
+- implementing the direct_IO address space operation, and calling
+  dax_do_io() instead of blockdev_direct_IO() if S_DAX is set
+- implementing an mmap file operation for DAX files which sets the
+  VM_MIXEDMAP flag on the VMA, and setting the vm_ops to include handlers
+  for fault and page_mkwrite (which should probably call dax_fault() and
+  dax_mkwrite(), passing the appropriate get_block() callback)
+- calling dax_truncate_page() instead of block_truncate_page() for DAX files
+- ensuring that there is sufficient locking between reads, writes,
+  truncates and page faults
+
+The get_block() callback passed to the DAX functions may return
+uninitialised extents.  If it does, it must ensure that simultaneous
+calls to get_block() (for example by a page-fault racing with a read()
+or a write()) work correctly.
+
+These filesystems may be used for inspiration:
+- ext2: the second extended filesystem, see Documentation/filesystems/ext2.txt
+
+
+Shortcomings
+------------
+
+Even if the kernel or its modules are stored on a filesystem that supports
+DAX on a block device that supports DAX, they will still be copied into RAM.
+
+Calling get_user_pages() on a range of user memory that has been mmaped
+from a DAX file will fail as there are no 'struct page' to describe
+those pages.  This problem is being worked on.  That means that O_DIRECT
+reads/writes to those memory ranges from a non-DAX file will fail (note
+that O_DIRECT reads/writes _of a DAX file_ do work, it is the memory
+that is being accessed that is key here).  Other things that will not
+work include RDMA, sendfile() and splice().

PATCH v9 13/22 ext2: Remove ext2_xip_verify_sb()

In reply to Matthew Wilcox

Jan Kara pointed out that calling ext2_xip_verify_sb() in ext2_remount() doesn't make sense, since changing the XIP option on remount isn't allowed. It also doesn't make sense to re-check whether blocksize is supported since it can't change between mounts.

Replace the call to ext2_xip_verify_sb() in ext2_fill_super() with the equivalent check and delete the definition.

PATCH v9 16/22 Remove CONFIG_EXT2_FS_XIP and rename CONFIG_FS_XIP to CONFIG_FS_DAX

The fewer Kconfig options we have the better. Use the generic CONFIG_FS_DAX to enable XIP support in ext2 as well as in the core.

PATCH v9 19/22 xip: Add xip_zero_page_range

In reply to Matthew Wilcox

This new function allows us to support hole-punch for XIP files by zeroing a partial page, as opposed to the xip_truncate_page() function which can only truncate to the end of the page. Reimplement xip_truncate_page() as a macro that calls xip_zero_page_range().

[ported to 3.13-rc2]

PATCH v9 20/22 ext4: Avoid lock inversion between i_mmap_mutex and transaction start

In reply to Matthew Wilcox

From: Jan Kara <[email protected]>

When DAX is enabled, it uses i_mmap_mutex as a protection against truncate during page fault. This inevitably forces i_mmap_mutex to rank outside of a transaction start and thus we have to avoid calling pagecache purging operations when transaction is started.

PATCH v9 22/22 brd: Rename XIP to DAX

In reply to Matthew Wilcox

From: Matthew Wilcox <[email protected]>

Since this is relating to FS_XIP, not KERNEL_XIP, it should be called DAX instead of XIP.

PATCH v9 7/22 Replace XIP read and write with DAX I/O

In reply to Matthew Wilcox

Use the generic AIO infrastructure instead of custom read and write methods. In addition to giving us support for AIO, this adds the missing locking between read() and truncate().

From: Matthew Wilcox <[email protected]>

One of the primary uses for NV-DIMMs is to expose them as a block device and use a filesystem to store files on the NV-DIMM. While that works, it currently wastes memory and CPU time buffering the files in the page cache. We have support in ext2 for bypassing the page cache, but it has some races which are unfixable in the current design. This series of patches rewrite the underlying support, and add support for direct access to ext4.

This iteration of the patchset rebases to 3.16-rc7 and makes substantial changes based on feedback from Jan Kara, Boaz Harrosh and Kirill Shutemov:

- Fixes a double-unlock on i_mmap_mutex
- Switch the order of calling delete_from_page_cache() and unmap_mapping_range() to match the truncate path
- Make dax_mkwrite a macro (Kirill)
- Drop vm_replace_mixed(); instead call unmap_mapping_range() before calling vm_insert_mixed() (Kirill)
- Avoid lock inversion between i_mmap_mutex and transaction start (Jan)
- Move alignment & length checks into bdev_direct_access() (Boaz)
- Fix bugs in COW code; unfortunately this means reintroducing the knowledge that the i_mmap_mutex protects PFNs to the core MM code.

I've updated the master branch of PRD's GitHub repo
(https://github.com/01org/prd) so that it is Linus's tip + DAX v9 + PRD.

I've also added a patch to PRD to enable dynamic allocation of partition numbers.
