always use REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES for zeroing offload V2

[Christoph Hellwig]

This series makes REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES the only zeroing offload
supported by the block layer, and switches existing implementations
of REQ_OP_DISCARD that correctly set discard_zeroes_data to it,
removes incorrect discard_zeroes_data, and also switches WRITE SAME
based zeroing in SCSI to this new method.

The series is against the block for-next tree.

A git tree is also avaiable at:

    git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/block.git discard-rework.2

Gitweb:

    http://git.infradead.org/users/hch/block.git/shortlog/refs/heads/discard-rework.2

Changes since V2:
 - various spelling fixes
 - various reviews captured
 - two new patches from Martin at the end

[PATCH 01/27] sd: split sd_setup_discard_cmnd

[Christoph Hellwig]

Split sd_setup_discard_cmnd into one function per provisioning type.  While
this creates some very slight duplication of boilerplate code it keeps the
code modular for additions of new provisioning types, and for reusing the
write same functions for the upcoming scsi implementation of the Write Zeroes
operation.

[PATCH 06/27] dm io: discards don't take a payload

[Christoph Hellwig]

Fix up do_region to not allocate a bio_vec for discards.  We've
got rid of the discard payload allocated by the caller years ago.

Obviously this wasn't actually harmful given how long it's been
there, but it's still good to avoid the pointless allocation.

[PATCH 08/27] dm kcopyd: switch to use REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES

[Christoph Hellwig]

It seems like the code currently passes whatever it was using for writes
to WRITE SAME.  Just switch it to WRITE ZEROES, although that doesn't
need any payload.

Untested, and confused by the code, maybe someone who understands it
better than me can help..

[PATCH 11/27] block: add a REQ_NOUNMAP flag for REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES

[Christoph Hellwig]

If this flag is set logical provisioning capable device should
release space for the zeroed blocks if possible, if it is not set
devices should keep the blocks anchored.

Also remove an out of sync kerneldoc comment for a static function
that would have become even more out of data with this change.

This gets us support for non-discard efficient write of zeroes (e.g. NVMe)
and prepares for removing the discard_zeroes_data flag.

Also remove a pointless discard support check, which is done in
blkdev_issue_discard already.

It's just a in-driver reimplementation of writing zeroes to the pages,
which fails if the discards aren't page aligned.

This means we only have two ways of zeroing left and can simplify the

use blkdev_issue_zeroout with the BLKDEV_ZERO_UNMAP flag instead of
reinventing it poorly.

[PATCH 23/27] drbd: make intelligent use of blkdev_issue_zeroout

[Christoph Hellwig]

drbd always wants its discard wire operations to zero the blocks, so
use blkdev_issue_zeroout with the BLKDEV_ZERO_UNMAP flag instead of
reinventing it poorly.

Re: [Drbd-dev] [PATCH 23/27] drbd: make intelligent use of blkdev_issue_zeroout

[Eric Wheeler]

Hello All,

We just noticed that discards to DRBD devices backed by dm-thin devices 
are fully allocating the thin blocks.

This behavior does not exist before 
ee472d83 block: add a flags argument to (__)blkdev_issue_zeroout

The problem exists somewhere between
[working] c20cfc27 block: stop using blkdev_issue_write_same for zeroing
  and
[broken]  45c21793 drbd: implement REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES

Note that c20cfc27 works as expected, but 45c21793 discards blocks 
being zeroed on the dm-thin backing device. All commits between those two 
produce the following error:

blkdiscard: /dev/drbd/by-res/test: BLKDISCARD ioctl failed: Input/output error

Also note that issuing a blkdiscard to the backing device directly 
discards as you would expect. This is just a problem when sending discards 
through DRBD.

Is there an easy way to solve this in the short term, even if the ultimate 
fix is more involved?

Thank you for your help!

-Eric

As I understood it,
blkdev_issue_zeroout() was supposed to "always try to unmap",
deprovision, the relevant region, and zero-out any unaligned
head or tail, just like my work around above was doing.

And that device mapper thin was "about to" learn this, "soon",
or maybe block core would do the equivalent of my workaround
described above.

But it then did not.

See also:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2017-March/msg00213.html
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2017-March/msg00226.html

I then did not follow this closely enough anymore,
and I missed that with recent enough kernel,
discard on DRBD on dm-thin would fully allocate.

In our out-of-tree module, we had to keep the older code for
compat reasons, anyways. I will just re-enable our zeroout
workaround there again.

In tree, either dm-thin learns to do REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES "properly",
so the result in this scenario is what we expect:

  _: unprovisioned, not allocated, returns zero on read anyways
  *: provisioned, some arbitrary data
  0: explicitly zeroed:

  |gran|ular|ity |    |    |    |
  |****|****|____|****|
     to|-be-|zero|ed
  |**00|____|____|00**|

(leave unallocated blocks alone,
 de-allocate full blocks just like with discard,
 explicitly zero unaligned head and tail)

Or DRBD will have to resurrect that reinvented zeroout again,
with exactly those semantics. I did reinvent it for a reason ;)

Right, now that you mention it it is starting to ring a bell (especially
after I read your 2nd dm-devel archive url above).

"de-allocate full blocks just like with discard" is an interesting take
what it means for dm-thin to handle REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES "properly".

> Or DRBD will have to resurrect that reinvented zeroout again,
> with exactly those semantics. I did reinvent it for a reason ;)

Yeah, I now recall dropping that line of development because it
became "hard" (or at least harder than originally thought).

Don't people use REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES to initialize a portion of the
disk?  E.g. zeroing superblocks, metadata areas, or whatever?

If we just discarded the logical extent and then a user did a partial
write to the block, areas that a user might expect to be zeroed wouldn't
be (at least in the case of dm-thinp if "skip_block_zeroing" is
enabled).  And yes if discard passdown is enabled and the device's
discard implementation does "discard_zeroes_data" then it'd be
fine.. but there are a lot of things that need to line up for drbd's
REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES to "just work" (as it expects).

(now I'm just echoing the kinds of concerns I had in that 2nd dm-devel
post above).

This post from mkp is interesting:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2017-March/msg00228.html

Specifically:
"You don't have a way to mark those blocks as being full of zeroes
without actually writing them?

Note that the fallback to a zeroout command is to do a regular write. So
if DM doesn't zero the blocks, the block layer is going to it."

No, dm-thinp doesn't have an easy way to mark an allocated block as
containing zeroes (without actually zeroing).  I toyed with adding that
but then realized that even if we had it it'd still require block
zeroing be enabled.  But block zeroing is done at allocation time.  So
we'd need to interpret the "this block is zeroes" flag to mean "on first
write or read to this block it needs to first zero it".  Fugly to say
the least...

I've been quite busy with other things but I can revisit all this with
Joe Thornber and see what we come up with after a 2nd discussion.

But sadly, in general, this is a low priority for me, so you might do
well to reintroduce your drbd workaround.. sorry about that :(

Oh-kay.
So "immediately after" such an operation
("zero-out head and tail and de-alloc full blocks")
a read to that area would return all zeros, as expected.

But once you do a partial write of something to one of those
de-allocated blocks (and skip_block_zeroing is enabled,
which it likely is due to "performance"),
"magically" arbitrary old garbage data springs into existence
on the LBAs that just before read as zeros.

lvmthin lvm.conf
Would that not break a lot of other things
(any read-modify-write of "upper layers")?
Would that not even be a serious "information leak"
(old garbage of other completely unrelated LVs leaking into this one)?

But thank you for that, I start to see the problem ;-)

Maybe have a "known zeroed block" pool, allocate only from there,
and "lazy zero" unallocated blocks, add to the known-zero pool?
Fallback to zero-on-alloc if that known-zero-pool is depleted.

Easier said than done, I know.

No problem.
I'll put that back in, and document that we strongly recommend to
NOT skip_block_zeroing in those setups.

[PATCH 24/27] drbd: implement REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES

It seems like DRBD assumes its on the wire TRIM request always zeroes data.
Use that fact to implement REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES.

[PATCH 24/27] drbd: implement REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES

[Christoph Hellwig]

It seems like DRBD assumes its on the wire TRIM request always zeroes data.
Use that fact to implement REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES.

-		when a discarded area is read the discard_zeroes_data

Hello Christoph,

Sorry that I hadn't noticed this before but I think that this patch
introduces a significant performance regressions for LIO users. Before
this patch the LBPRZ flag was reported correctly to initiator systems
through the thin provisioning VPD. With this patch applied that flag
will always be reported as zero, forcing initiators to submit WRITE
commands with zeroed data buffers instead of submitting the SCSI UNMAP
command to block devices for which discard_zeroes_data was set. From
target_core_spc.c:

/* Thin Provisioning VPD */
static sense_reason_t spc_emulate_evpd_b2(struct se_cmd *cmd, unsigned char *buf)
{
	[ ... ]
	/*
	 * The unmap_zeroes_data set means that the underlying device supports
	 * REQ_DISCARD and has the discard_zeroes_data bit set. This satisfies
	 * the SBC requirements for LBPRZ, meaning that a subsequent read
	 * will return zeroes after an UNMAP or WRITE SAME (16) to an LBA
	 * See sbc4r36 6.6.4.
	 */
	if (((dev->dev_attrib.emulate_tpu != 0) ||
	     (dev->dev_attrib.emulate_tpws != 0)) &&
	     (dev->dev_attrib.unmap_zeroes_data != 0))
		buf[5] |= 0x04;
	[ ... ]
}

Please advise how to proceed.

Thanks,

Bart.

According to sd_config_discard(), it's SD_LBP_WS16, SD_LBP_WS10 and
SD_LBP_ZERO that where ever setting unmap_zeros_data = 1 to begin with.
For UNMAP, q->limits.discard_zeroes_data was never set.

That said, it's pretty much implied that supporting DISCARD means
subsequent READs return zeros, so target_configure_unmap_from_queue()
should be setting attrib->unmap_zeroes_data = 1, or just dropping it
all-together.

Post -rc1, I'll push a patch to do the latter.

Yes, that in combination with your patch to use bdev_write_zeroes_sectors
for zeroing from write same seems like the right fix.

I don't think this is safe.  If you want to do the aboe you also

I don't think this is safe.  If you want to do the aboe you also
need to ensure ->execute_unmap always zeroes the data.  For actual

Mmm, for [1] that would appear to be true, but after a deeper look at
existing code I don't think this is the case.

The reason being is target backend attributes emulate_tpu and
emulate_tpws are strictly user configurable, and aren't automatically
set based upon the underlying IBLOCK block_device support for either
one.

According to pre v4.12-rc1 code, q->limits.discard_zeroes_data was only
enabled by drivers/scsi/sd.c:sd_config_discard() for
sdkp->provisioning_mode WRITE_SAME with LBPRZ = 1 or explicit ZERO, and
for NVME for devices that supported NVME_QUIRK_DISCARD_ZEROES.  Eg: Only
real DISCARD + ZERO support.

In your changes to v4.12-rc1, this logic to signal real DISCARD + zero
support for SCSI and NVMe via q->limits.max_write_zeroes_sectors has not
changed..

So AFAICT, regardless if the user sets emulate_tpu or emulate_tpws for a
IBLOCK backend, SCSI host code will have to choose sdkp->zeroing_mode
WRITE_SAME with LBPRZ or explicit ZERO, and NVMe host code will have to
chose a ctrl NVME_QUIRK_DEALLOCATE_ZEROES before
q->limits.max_write_zeroes_sectors != 0 is propagated up to target code,
and LBPRZ = 1 is signaled via READ_CAPACITY_16 and EVPD = 0xb2.

That said, simply propagating up q->limits.max_write_zeroes_sectors as
dev_attrib->unmap_zeroes_data following existing code still looks like
the right thing to do.

It is not.  Martin has decoupled write same/zeroes support from discard
support.  Any device will claim to support it initially, and we'll
only clear the flag if a Write Same command fails.

So even if LBPRZ is not set you can trivially get into a situation
where discard is supported through UNMAP, and you'll incorrectly
set LBPRZ and will cause data corruption.

In that case, there are two choices.

1) Expose a block_device or request_queue bit to signal 'real LBPRZ'
support up to IBLOCK, in order to maintain SCSI target feature
compatibility.

2) Or drop the LBPRZ bit usage for IBLOCK all-together.

Since I happen happen to support a block driver that has 'real LBPRZ'
support for all discards, I'd prefer the latter so this doesn't have to
be carried out-of-tree.

So what are the options for this in post v4.12..?

No way.  If you want to zero use REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES..

Yes, I understand that part and it's what the earlier conversion of
IBLOCK to use blkdev_issue_zeroout() already does.

Once the blkdev_issue_zeroout() conversion is in place then LBPRZ can
always be set to one for IBLOCK using blkdev_issue_zeroout().

The point is this is not in -rc1, which as-is breaks LBPRZ compat for a
release.

[PATCH 26/27] scsi: sd: Separate zeroout and discard command choices

[Christoph Hellwig]

From: "Martin K. Petersen" <martin.petersen@oracle.com>

Now that zeroout and discards are distinct operations we need to
separate the policy of choosing the appropriate command. Create a
zeroing_mode which can be one of:

write:			Zeroout assist not present, use regular WRITE
writesame:		Allow WRITE SAME(10/16) with a zeroed payload
writesame_16_unmap:	Allow WRITE SAME(16) with UNMAP
writesame_10_unmap:	Allow WRITE SAME(10) with UNMAP

The last two are conditional on the device being thin provisioned with
LBPRZ=1 and LBPWS=1 or LBPWS10=1 respectively.

Whether to set the UNMAP bit or not depends on the REQ_NOUNMAP flag. And
if none of the _unmap variants are supported, regular WRITE SAME will be
used if the device supports it.

The zeroout_mode is exported in sysfs and the detected mode for a given
device can be overridden using the string constants above.

With this change in place we can now issue WRITE SAME(16) with UNMAP set
for block zeroing applications that require hard guarantees and
logical_block_size granularity. And at the same time use the UNMAP
command with the device's preferred granulary and alignment for discard
operations.

It is intentional that things can be overridden from userland for
devices that report the "wrong" thing. We do the same for discard so
people can set up udev rules.

Separating discards and zeroout operations allows us to remove the LBPRZ

for UNMAP commands.

If supported by the device, we'll also choose UNMAP over one of the
WRITE SAME variants for discards.

always use REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES for zeroing offload V2

[Christoph Hellwig]

This series makes REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES the only zeroing offload
supported by the block layer, and switches existing implementations
of REQ_OP_DISCARD that correctly set discard_zeroes_data to it,
removes incorrect discard_zeroes_data, and also switches WRITE SAME
based zeroing in SCSI to this new method.

The series is against the block for-next tree.

A git tree is also avaiable at:

    git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/block.git discard-rework.2

Gitweb:

    http://git.infradead.org/users/hch/block.git/shortlog/refs/heads/discard-rework.2

Changes since V2:
 - various spelling fixes
 - various reviews captured
 - two new patches from Martin at the end

Looks like the mail server crapped out under the load..

I'll resend tomorrow morning, in the meantime the git url below
works.
