[PATCH v6 0/5] dax: handling media errors (clear-on-zero only)

[PATCH v6 0/5] dax: handling media errors (clear-on-zero only)

[Vishal Verma]

Until now, dax has been disabled if media errors were found on
any device. This series attempts to address that.

The first two patches from Dan re-enable dax even when media
errors are present.

The third patch from Matthew removes the zeroout path from dax
entirely, making zeroout operations always go through the driver
(The motivation is that if a backing device has media errors,
and we create a sparse file on it, we don't want the initial
zeroing to happen via dax, we want to give the block driver a
chance to clear the errors).

Patch 4 reduces our calls to clear_pmem from dax in the
truncate/hole-punch cases. We check if the range being truncated
is sector aligned/sized, and if so, send blkdev_issue_zeroout
instead of clear_pmem so that errors can be handled better by
the driver.

Patch 5 fixes a redundant comment in DAX and is mostly unrelated
to the rest of this series.

This series also depends on/is based on Jan Kara's DAX Locking
fixes series [1].

v6:
 - Use IS_ALIGNED in dax_range_is_aligned instead of open coding
   an alignment check (Jan)
 - Collect all Reveiwed-by tags so far.

v5:
 - Drop the patch that attempts to clear-errors-on-write till we
   reach consensus on how to handle that.
 - Don't pass blk_dax_ctl to direct_access, instead pass in all the
   required arguments individually (Christoph, Dan)

v4:
 - Remove the dax->direct_IO fallbacks entirely. Instead, go through
   the usual direct_IO path when we're in O_DIRECT, and use dax_IO
   for other, non O_DIRECT IO. (Dan, Christoph)

v3:
 - Wrapper-ize the direct_IO fallback again and make an exception
   for -EIOCBQUEUED (Jeff, Dan)
 - Reduce clear_pmem usage in DAX to the minimum

[PATCH v6 2/5] dax: enable dax in the presence of known media errors (badblocks)

1/ If a mapping overlaps a bad sector fail the request.

2/ Do not opportunistically report more dax-capable capacity than is
   requested when errors present.

[PATCH v6 2/5] dax: enable dax in the presence of known media errors (badblocks)

[Vishal Verma]

From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

1/ If a mapping overlaps a bad sector fail the request.

2/ Do not opportunistically report more dax-capable capacity than is
   requested when errors present.

[PATCH v6 3/5] dax: use sb_issue_zerout instead of calling dax_clear_sectors

[Vishal Verma]

From: Matthew Wilcox <matthew.r.wilcox@intel.com>

dax_clear_sectors() cannot handle poisoned blocks.  These must be
zeroed using the BIO interface instead.  Convert ext2 and XFS to use
only sb_issue_zerout().

[PATCH v6 3/5] dax: use sb_issue_zerout instead of calling dax_clear_sectors

dax_clear_sectors() cannot handle poisoned blocks.  These must be
zeroed using the BIO interface instead.  Convert ext2 and XFS to use

[PATCH v6 4/5] dax: for truncate/hole-punch, do zeroing through the driver if possible

[Vishal Verma]

In the truncate or hole-punch path in dax, we clear out sub-page ranges.
If these sub-page ranges are sector aligned and sized, we can do the
zeroing through the driver instead so that error-clearing is handled
automatically.

For sub-sector ranges, we still have to rely on clear_pmem and have the
possibility of tripping over errors.

+---------------------

+1. Delete the affected file, and restore from a backup (sysadmin route):
+   This will free the file system blocks that were being used by the file,
+   and the next time they're allocated, they will be zeroed first, which
+   happens through the driver, and will clear bad sectors.
+
+2. Truncate or hole-punch the part of the file that has a bad-block (at least
+   an entire aligned sector has to be hole-punched, but not necessarily an
+   entire filesystem block).
+
+These are the two basic paths that allow DAX filesystems to continue operating
+in the presence of media errors. More robust error recovery mechanisms can be
+built on top of this in the future, for example, involving redundancy/mirroring
+provided at the block layer through DM, or additionally, at the filesystem

[PATCH v6 4/5] dax: for truncate/hole-punch, do zeroing through the driver if possible

[Vishal Verma]

In the truncate or hole-punch path in dax, we clear out sub-page ranges.
If these sub-page ranges are sector aligned and sized, we can do the
zeroing through the driver instead so that error-clearing is handled
automatically.

For sub-sector ranges, we still have to rely on clear_pmem and have the
possibility of tripping over errors.

+
+2. Truncate or hole-punch the part of the file that has a bad-block (at least
+   an entire aligned sector has to be hole-punched, but not necessarily an
+   entire filesystem block).
+
+These are the two basic paths that allow DAX filesystems to continue operating
+in the presence of media errors. More robust error recovery mechanisms can be

Re: [PATCH v6 4/5] dax: for truncate/hole-punch, do zeroing through the driver if possible

[Christoph Hellwig]

Hi Vishal,

can you also pick up the my patch to add a low-level __dax_zero_range
that I cced you on?  That way we can avoid a nasty merge conflict with
my xfs/iomap changes.

Good idea - I'll do that for the next posting. I'll wait a day or two
for any additional reviews/acks.

I'm looking to get all this into a branch in the nvdimm tree once Jan
splits up his dax-locking series..

Mostly I guess I'm looking for a yay or nay for the block layer changes
(patch 2). Jens?

One more question: 'dax' is initialized in dax_zero_page_range() and
dax->addr is going to be always NULL here. So either you forgot to call
dax_map_atomic() to get the addr or the use of dax->addr is just bogus
(which is what I currently believe since I see no way how the address could
be unaligned with the sector_size)...

Good catch, and you're right. I don't think I actually even want to use
dax->addr for the alignment check here - I want to check if we're
aligned to the block device sector. I'm thinking something like:

	if (!IS_ALIGNED(offset, sector_size))

Technically we want to check if sector * sector_size + offset is
aligned, but the first part of that is already a sector :)

Good catch, and you're right. I don't think I actually even want to use
dax->addr for the alignment check here - I want to check if we're
aligned to the block device sector. I'm thinking something like:

	if (!IS_ALIGNED(offset, sector_size))

Technically we want to check if sector * sector_size + offset is
aligned, but the first part of that is already a sector :)

Found another bug here while testing. The zeroout needs to be done for
sector + (offset >> 9). The above just zeroed out the first sector of
the page irrespective of offset, which is wrong.
