Commit 1c97be677f72b3 ("list: Use WRITE_ONCE() when adding to lists and
hlists") introduced the use of WRITE_ONCE() to atomically write the list
head's ->next pointer.
hlist_add_behind() doesn't touch the hlist head's ->first pointer so
there is no reason to use WRITE_ONCE() in this case.

On both this and the previous patch, the double signed-off-by lines
are a bit strange. You might be wanting Co-developed-by, but please
see Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst.

Hi Paul,

When completing a pending exception, pending_complete() waits for all
conflicting reads to drain, before inserting the final, completed
exception. Conflicting reads are snapshot reads redirected to the
origin, because the relevant chunk is not remapped to the COW device the
moment we receive the read.
The completed exception must be inserted into the exception table after
all conflicting reads drain to ensure snapshot reads don't return
corrupted data. This is required because inserting the completed
exception into the exception table signals that the relevant chunk is
remapped and both origin writes and snapshot merging will now overwrite
the chunk in origin.
This wait is done holding the snapshot lock to ensure that
pending_complete() doesn't starve if new snapshot reads keep coming for
this chunk.
In preparation for the next commit, where we use a spinlock instead of a
mutex to protect the exception tables, we remove the need for holding
the lock while waiting for conflicting reads to drain.
We achieve this in two steps:
1. pending_complete() inserts the completed exception before waiting for
conflicting reads to drain and removes the pending exception after
all conflicting reads drain.
This ensures that new snapshot reads will be redirected to the COW
device, instead of the origin, and thus pending_complete() will not
starve. Moreover, we use the existence of both a completed and
a pending exception to signify that the COW is done but there are
conflicting reads in flight.
2. In __origin_write() we check first if there is a pending exception
and then if there is a completed exception. If there is a pending
exception any submitted BIO is delayed on the pe->origin_bios list and
DM_MAPIO_SUBMITTED is returned. This ensures that neither writes to the
origin nor snapshot merging can overwrite the origin chunk, until all
conflicting reads drain, and thus snapshot reads will not return
corrupted data.
Summarizing, we now have the following possible combinations of pending
and completed exceptions for a chunk, along with their meaning:
A. No exceptions exist: The chunk has not been remapped yet.
B. Only a pending exception exists: The chunk is currently being copied
to the COW device.
C. Both a pending and a completed exception exist: COW for this chunk
has completed but there are snapshot reads in flight which had been
redirected to the origin before the chunk was remapped.
D. Only the completed exception exists: COW has been completed and there
are no conflicting reads in flight.

To: snitzer, agk, dm-devel; +Cc: mpatocka, paulmck, hch, iliastsi, linux-kernel
dm-snapshot uses a single mutex to serialize every access to the
snapshot state. This includes all accesses to the complete and pending
exception tables, which occur at every origin write, every snapshot
read/write and every exception completion.
The lock statistics indicate that this mutex is a bottleneck (average
wait time ~480 usecs for 8 processes doing random 4K writes to the
origin device) preventing dm-snapshot to scale as the number of threads
doing IO increases.
The major contention points are __origin_write()/snapshot_map() and
pending_complete(), i.e., the submission and completion of pending
exceptions.
Replace this mutex with a rw semaphore.
We essentially revert commit ae1093be5a0ef9 ("dm snapshot: use mutex
instead of rw_semaphore") and together with the next two patches we
substitute the single mutex with a fine-grained locking scheme, where we
use a read-write semaphore to protect the mostly read fields of the
snapshot structure, e.g., valid, active, etc., and per-bucket bit
spinlocks to protect accesses to the complete and pending exception
tables.

From: Nikos Tsironis @ 2019-03-17 12:22 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: snitzer, agk, dm-devel; +Cc: mpatocka, paulmck, hch, iliastsi, linux-kernel
Use list_bl to implement the exception hash tables' buckets. This change
permits concurrent access, to distinct buckets, by multiple threads.
Also, implement helper functions to lock and unlock the exception tables
based on the chunk number of the exception at hand.
We retain the global locking, by means of down_write(), which is
replaced by the next commit.
Still, we must acquire the per-bucket spinlocks when accessing the hash
tables, since list_bl does not allow modification on unlocked lists.

Substitute the global locking scheme with a fine grained one, employing
the read-write semaphore and the scalable exception tables with
per-bucket locks introduced by the previous two commits.
Summarizing, we now use a read-write semaphore to protect the mostly
read fields of the snapshot structure, e.g., valid, active, etc., and
per-bucket bit spinlocks to protect accesses to the complete and pending
exception tables.
Finally, we use an extra spinlock (pe_allocation_lock) to serialize the
allocation of new exceptions by the exception store. This allocation is
really fast, so the extra spinlock doesn't hurt the performance.
This scheme allows dm-snapshot to scale better, resulting in increased
IOPS and reduced latency.
Following are some benchmark results using the null_blk device:
