2009-12-10dm exception store: add merge specific methodsMikulas Patocka
Add functions that decide how many consecutive chunks of snapshot to merge back into the origin next and to update the metadata afterwards. prepare_merge provides a pointer to the most recent still-to-be-merged chunk and returns how many previous ones are consecutive and can be processed together. commit_merge removes the nr_merged most-recent chunks permanently from the exception store. The number must not exceed that returned by prepare_merge. Introduce NUM_SNAPSHOT_HDR_CHUNKS to show where the snapshot header chunk is accounted for.

2009-12-10dm snapshot: move cow ref from exception store to snap coreMike Snitzer
Store the reference to the snapshot cow device in the core snapshot code instead of each exception store. It can be accessed through the new function dm_snap_cow(). Exception stores should each now maintain a reference to their parent snapshot struct. This is cleaner and makes part of the forthcoming snapshot merge code simpler.

2009-12-10dm snapshot: add allocated metadata to snapshot statusMike Snitzer
Add number of sectors used by metadata to the end of the snapshot's status line. Renamed dm_exception_store_type's 'fraction_full' to 'usage'. Renamed arguments to be clearer about what is being returned. Also added 'metadata_sectors'. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>

2009-10-16dm snapshot: use unsigned integer chunk sizeMikulas Patocka
Use unsigned integer chunk size. Maximum chunk size is 512kB, there won't ever be need to use 4GB chunk size, so the number can be 32-bit. This fixes compiler failure on 32-bit systems with large block devices.

2009-09-04dm snapshot: fix on disk chunk size validationMikulas Patocka
Fix some problems seen in the chunk size processing when activating a pre-existing snapshot. For a new snapshot, the chunk size can either be supplied by the creator or a default value can be used. For an existing snapshot, the chunk size in the snapshot header on disk should always be used. If someone attempts to load an existing snapshot and has the 'default chunk size' option set, the kernel uses its default value even when it is incorrect for the snapshot being loaded. This patch ensures the correct on-disk value is always used. Secondly, when the code does use the chunk size stored on the disk it is prudent to revalidate it, so the code can exit cleanly if it got corrupted as happened in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=461506 .

2009-09-04dm snapshot: fix header corruption race on invalidationMikulas Patocka
If a persistent snapshot fills up, a race can corrupt the on-disk header which causes a crash on any future attempt to activate the snapshot (typically while booting). This patch fixes the race. When the snapshot overflows, __invalidate_snapshot is called, which calls snapshot store method drop_snapshot. It goes to persistent_drop_snapshot that calls write_header. write_header constructs the new header in the "area" location. Concurrently, an existing kcopyd job may finish, call copy_callback and commit_exception method, that goes to persistent_commit_exception. persistent_commit_exception doesn't do locking, relying on the fact that callbacks are single-threaded, but it can race with snapshot invalidation and overwrite the header that is just being written while the snapshot is being invalidated. The result of this race is a corrupted header being written that can lead to a crash on further reactivation (if chunk_size is zero in the corrupted header). The fix is to use separate memory areas for each.

2009-05-22block: Do away with the notion of hardsect_sizeMartin K. Petersen
Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device. With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case. The sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain 512-bytes. Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size and the logical ditto. This patch renames hardsect_size to logical_block_size. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

2009-04-02dm snapshot: persistent fix dtr cleanupJonathan Brassow
The persistent exception store destructor does not properly account for all conditions in which it can be called. If it is called after 'ctr' but before 'read_metadata' (e.g. if something else in 'snapshot_ctr' fails) then it will attempt to free areas of memory that haven't been allocated yet.
