[PATCH 00/16] drbd: a block device for HA clusters

[Philipp Reisner]

Hi,

As the first bit of the DBRD patch already got upstream (see commit
10fc89d01a) it is time to get more of DRBD towards mainline.

Here is a post of drbd-8.3.2 for inclusion into linux-mm (or linux-next).

Patch set attached. Git tree available:
git pull git://git.drbd.org/linux-2.6-drbd.git drbd

In case you want to review the code, here is a note for you:

  Only the first patch (lru_cache) is self contained. The other patches are
  just split at file boundaries. Sorry, DRBD was developed as out-of-tree
  modules just for too long.

Short Description

  DRBD is a shared-nothing, replicated block device. It is designed to
  serve as a building block for high availability clusters and

  in this context, is a "drop-in" replacement for shared storage.
  Simplistically, you could see it as a network RAID 1.

  More information can be found at http://www.drbd.org

Changes since 2009-06-26

  * Cleanup: Added an entry to the MAINTAINERS file

[PATCH 02/16] lru_cache: track a fixed size cache of equal sized objects

[Philipp Reisner]

A helper framework to easily keep track of index:label associations,
and changes to an "active set" of objects, as well as pending transactions,
to persistently record those changes.

We use an LRU policy if it is necessary to "cool down" a region currently in
the active set before we can "heat" a previously unused region.

Because of this later property, it is called "lru_cache".

+This header file (and its .c file; kernel-doc of functions see there)
+  define a helper framework to easily keep track of index:label associations,
+  and changes to an "active set" of objects, as well as pending transactions,
+  to persistently record those changes.
+
+  We use an LRU policy if it is necessary to "cool down" a region currently in
+  the active set before we can "heat" a previously unused region.
+
+  Because of this later property, it is called "lru_cache".
+  As it actually Tracks Objects in an Active SeT, we could also call it
+  toast (incidentally that is what may happen to the data on the
+  backend storage uppon next resync, if we don't get it right).
+
+What for?
+
+We replicate IO (more or less synchronously) to local and remote disk.
+
+For crash recovery after replication node failure,
+  we need to resync all regions that have been target of in-flight WRITE IO
+  (in use, or "hot", regions), as we don't know wether or not those WRITEs have
+  made it to stable storage.
+
+  To avoid a "full resync", we need to persistently track these regions.
+
+  This is known as "write intent log", and can be implemented as on-disk
+  (coarse or fine grained) bitmap, or other meta data.
+
+  To avoid the overhead of frequent extra writes to this meta data area,
+  usually the condition is softened to regions that _may_ have been target of
+  in-flight WRITE IO, e.g. by only lazily clearing the on-disk write-intent
+  bitmap, trading frequency of meta data transactions against amount of
+  (possibly unneccessary) resync traffic.
+
+  If we set a hard limit on the area that may be "hot" at any given time, we
+  limit the amount of resync traffic needed for crash recovery.
+
+For recovery after replication link failure,
+  we need to resync all blocks that have been changed on the other replica
+  in the mean time, or, if both replica have been changed independently [*],
+  all blocks that have been changed on either replica in the mean time.
+  [*] usually as a result of a cluster split-brain and insufficient protection.
+      but there are valid use cases to do this on purpose.
+
+  Tracking those blocks can be implemented as "dirty bitmap".
+  Having it fine-grained reduces the amount of resync traffic.
+  It should also be persistent, to allow for reboots (or crashes)
+  while the replication link is down.
+
+There are various possible implementations for persistently storing
+write intent log information, three of which are mentioned here.
+
+"Chunk dirtying"
+  The on-disk "dirty bitmap" may be re-used as "write-intent" bitmap as well.
+  To reduce the frequency of bitmap updates for write-intent log purposes,
+  one could dirty "chunks" (of some size) at a time of the (fine grained)
+  on-disk bitmap, while keeping the in-memory "dirty" bitmap as clean as
+  possible, flushing it to disk again when a previously "hot" (and on-disk
+  dirtied as full chunk) area "cools down" again (no IO in flight anymore,
+  and none expected in the near future either).
+
+"Explicit (coarse) write intent bitmap"
+  An other implementation could chose a (probably coarse) explicit bitmap,
+  for write-intent log purposes, additionally to the fine grained dirty bitmap.
+
+"Activity log"
+  Yet an other implementation may keep track of the hot regions, by starting
+  with an empty set, and writing down a journal of region numbers that have
+  become "hot", or have "cooled down" again.
+
+  To be able to use a ring buffer for this journal of changes to the active
+  set, we not only record the actual changes to that set, but also record the
+  not changing members of the set in a round robin fashion. To do so, we use a
+  fixed (but configurable) number of slots which we can identify by index, and
+  associate region numbers (labels) with these indices.
+  For each transaction recording a change to the active set, we record the
+  change itself (index: -old_label, +new_label), and which index is associated
+  with which label (index: current_label) within a certain sliding window that
+  is moved further over the available indices with each such transaction.
+
+  Thus, for crash recovery, if the ringbuffer is sufficiently large, we can
+  accurately reconstruct the active set.
+
+  Sufficiently large depends only on maximum number of active objects, and the
+  size of the sliding window recording "index: current_label" associations within
+  each transaction.
+
+  This is what we call the "activity log".
+
+  Currently we need one activity log transaction per single label change, which
+  does not give much benefit over the "dirty chunks of bitmap" approach, other
+  than potentially less seeks.
+
+  We plan to change the transaction format to support multiple changes per
+  transaction, which then would reduce several (disjoint, "random") updates to
+  the bitmap into one transaction to the activity log ring buffer.
+*/
+
+/* this defines an element in a tracked set
+ * .colision is for hash table lookup.
+ * When we process a new IO request, we know its sector, thus can deduce the
+ * region number (label) easily.  To do the label -> object lookup without a
+ * full list walk, we use a simple hash table.
+ *
+ * .list is on one of three lists:
+ *  in_use: currently in use (refcnt > 0, lc_number != LC_FREE)
+ *     lru: unused but ready to be reused or recycled
+ *          (ts_refcnt == 0, lc_number != LC_FREE),
+ *    free: unused but ready to be recycled
+ *          (ts_refcnt == 0, lc_number == LC_FREE),
+ *
+ * an element is said to be "in the active set",
+ * if either on "in_use" or "lru", i.e. lc_number != LC_FREE.
+ *
+ * DRBD currently (May 2009) only uses 61 elements on the resync lru_cache
+ * (total memory usage 2 pages), and up to 3833 elements on the act_log
+ * lru_cache, totalling ~215 kB for 64bit architechture, ~53 pages.
+ *
+ * We usually do not actually free these objects again, but only "recycle"
+ * them, as the change "index: -old_label, +LC_FREE" would need a transaction
+ * as well.  Which also means that using a kmem_cache to allocate the objects
+ * from wastes some resources.
+ * But it avoids high order page allocations in kmalloc.

[PATCH 03/16] drbd: tracking of active extents

[Philipp Reisner]

Within DRBD the activity log is used to track extents (4MB each) in which IO
happens (or happened recently). It is based on the LRU cache. Each change of
the activity log causes a meta data update (single sector write).  The size
of the activity log is configured by the user, and is a tradeoff between
minimizing updates to the meta data and the resync time after the crash of a
primary node.

[PATCH 04/16] drbd: dirty bitmap

[Philipp Reisner]

DRBD maintains a dirty bitmap in case it has to run without peer node or
without local disk. Writes to the on disk dirty bitmap are minimized by the
activity log (=AL). Each time an extent is evicted from the AL the part of
the bitmap no longer covered by the AL is written to disk.

[PATCH 05/16] drbd: request state processing

[Philipp Reisner]

Describes the states an IO request issued to DRBD can be in. As well as
all the state transitions that a request can go through.

In here is also the make_request() function, we register in the block
layer of the kernel to pass IO requests to DRBD.

[PATCH 06/16] drbd: user space interface (based upon connector/netlink)

[Philipp Reisner]

The packets are composed of extensible tag lists. That interface can be
extended over time without breaking old userspace programs.

The nice part of the interface to userspace: drbd.h. The ugly part is for
sure drbd_tag_magic.h..

I realize that macros are generally frowned upon, but this way it is easier
to maintain. The code that gets generated by repeatedly including drbd_nl.h
is hard to maintain over time if it is open coded. (BTW, did you know that
the samba 4 people are proud to have more than 50% of their code auto
generated:)

[PATCH 09/16] drbd: network IO threads

[Philipp Reisner]

Nearly everything of the "receiver" and the "asender" threads is in this file.

The receiver is the thread that processes all data packets. The receiver
might gets blocked while waiting for memory or being slowed while submitting
IO.

The asender on the other hand is used to send out acknowledgments and to
receive them. It only blocks while waiting on its socket.

[PATCH 11/16] drbd: worker thread

[Philipp Reisner]

The generic worker thread. Does the actual sending of data via the network
link. Does all the after-state-change activities, that have to be done
without holding the req_lock spinlock. And some other stuff.

[PATCH 12/16] drbd: variable length integer encoding

[Philipp Reisner]

[-- Warning: decoded text below may be mangled, UTF-8 assumed --]
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 12723 bytes --]

We assume that large areas are either completely set or unset, which gives
good compression with any runlength method, even when encoding the run-length
as fixed size 32bit/64bit integers.

Still, there may be areas where the polarity flips every few bits, and
encoding the runlength sequence of those areas with fix size integers would
be much worse than plaintext.

We want to encode small runlength values with minimum code length, while
still being able to encode a Huge run of all zeros.

Thus we need a Variable Length Integer encoding, VLI.

+ * At a granularity of 4KiB storage represented per bit,
+ * and stroage sizes of several TiB,
+ * and possibly small-bandwidth replication,
+ * the bitmap transfer time can take much too long,
+ * if transmitted in plain text.
+ *
+ * We try to reduce the transfered bitmap information
+ * by encoding runlengths of bit polarity.
+ *
+ * We never actually need to encode a "zero" (runlengths are positive).
+ * But then we have to store the value of the first bit.
+ * The first bit of information thus shall encode if the first runlength
+ * gives the number of set or unset bits.
+ *
+ * We assume that large areas are either completely set or unset,
+ * which gives good compression with any runlength method,
+ * even when encoding the runlength as fixed size 32bit/64bit integers.
+ *
+ * Still, there may be areas where the polarity flips every few bits,
+ * and encoding the runlength sequence of those areas with fix size
+ * integers would be much worse than plaintext.
+ *
+ * We want to encode small runlength values with minimum code length,
+ * while still being able to encode a Huge run of all zeros.
+ *
+ * Thus we need a Variable Length Integer encoding, VLI.
+ *
+ * For some cases, we produce more code bits than plaintext input.
+ * We need to send incompressible chunks as plaintext, skip over them
+ * and then see if the next chunk compresses better.
+ *
+ * We don't care too much about "excellent" compression ratio for large
+ * runlengths (all set/all clear): whether we achieve a factor of 100
+ * or 1000 is not that much of an issue.
+ * We do not want to waste too much on short runlengths in the "noisy"
+ * parts of the bitmap, though.
+ *
+ * There are endless variants of VLI, we experimented with:
+ *  * simple byte-based
+ *  * various bit based with different code word length.
+ *
+ * To avoid yet an other configuration parameter (choice of bitmap compression
+ * algorithm) which was difficult to explain and tune, we just chose the one
+ * variant that turned out best in all test cases.
+ * Based on real world usage patterns, with device sizes ranging from a few GiB
+ * to several TiB, file server/mailserver/webserver/mysql/postgress,
+ * mostly idle to really busy, the all time winner (though sometimes only
+ * marginally better) is:

+
+/*
+ * encoding is "visualised" as
+ * __little endian__ bitstream, least significant bit first (left most)
+ *
+ * this particular encoding is chosen so that the prefix code
+ * starts as unary encoding the level, then modified so that
+ * 10 levels can be described in 8bit, with minimal overhead
+ * for the smaller levels.
+ *
+ * Number of data bits follow fibonacci sequence, with the exception of the
+ * last level (+1 data bit, so it makes 64bit total).  The only worse code when
+ * encoding bit polarity runlength is 1 plain bits => 2 code bits.

+Description
+
+  DRBD is a shared-nothing, synchronously replicated block device. It
+  is designed to serve as a building block for high availability
+  clusters and in this context, is a "drop-in" replacement for shared
+  storage. Simplistically, you could see it as a network RAID 1.
+
+  Please visit http://www.drbd.org to find out more.
+
+The here included files are intended to help understand the implementation
+
+DRBD-8.3-data-packets.svg, DRBD-data-packets.svg  
+  relates some functions, and write packets.
+
+conn-states-8.dot, disk-states-8.dot, node-states-8.dot
+  The sub graphs of DRBD's state transitions

+	  node with the device in 'secondary' state.  The secondary device
+	  simply writes the data to its lower level block device.
+
+	  DRBD can also be used in dual-Primary mode (device writable on both
+	  nodes), which means it can exhibit shared disk semantics in a
+	  shared-nothing cluster.  Needless to say, on top of dual-Primary

The vmalloc is always troublesome.

It's a pretty commonly-occurring pattern and I've been suggesting that
we implement a generic dynamic-array facility so that those callsites
which wish to do huge contiguous allocations need no longer do that.

Please take a look at this thread: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/7/2/464
and let's see if there's any useful commonality here.  I think there
is...

I don't think I can be bothered reading all this again ;)  I trust that
earlier review comments were suitably addressed.

Please prepare a tree for inclusion in linux-next, send that off to
Stephen and unless someone can identify reasons otherwise, send Linus a pull
request for 2.6.32-rc1.

To the best of my knowledge, we addressed all of them, yes.

Ok, will do.
Stephen: expect an explicit linux-next merge request
within the next few days.

OK, just to be clear your tree should be based on Linus' tree (or some
other *stable*, non rebasing, tree - *not* linux-next).

[I guess your tree will fulfill all the following]

What I tell everyone: all patches/commits in the tree/series must
have been:

	posted to a relevant mailing list
	reviewed
	unit tested
	destined for the next merge window (or the current release)

*before* they are included.  The linux-next tree is for integration
testing and to lower the impact of conflicts between subsystems in the
next merge window.

Basically, this should be just what you would send to Linus (or ask him
to fetch).  It is allowed to be rebased if you deem it necessary.

Hi Stephen,

Please add git://git.drbd.org/linux-2.6-drbd.git to linux-next.

The tree was initially based on v2.6.30-rc1. Later 2.6.31-rc1 was
merged in. 
I verified that it still merges with 2.6.31-rc4 without conflicts.

Thanks!

I have added that tree from today.  Currently you are listed as the
