[PATCH] [RFQ] dm-integrity: Add a lazy commit mode for journal

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Extend the dm-integrity driver to omit writing unused journal data sectors.
Instead of filling up the whole journal section, mark the last used
sector with a special commit ID. The commit ID still uses the same base value,
but section number and sector number are inverted. At replay when commit IDs
are analyzed this special commit ID is detected as end of valid data for this
section. The main goal is to prolong the live times of e.g. eMMCs by avoiding
to write the whole journal data sectors.

The change is right now to be seen as experimental and gets applied if
CONFIG_DMINT_LAZY_COMMIT is set to y. Note please that this is NOT
planned for a final version of the changes. I would make it configurable
via flags passed e.g. via dmsetup and stored in the superblock.

Architectural Limitations:
- A dm-integrity partition, that was previously used with lazy commit,
 can't be replayed with a dm-integrity driver not using lazy commit.
- A dm-integrity driver that uses lazy commit is expected
 to be able to cope with a partition that was created and used without
 lazy commit.
- With dm-integrity lazy commit, a partially written journal (e.g. due to a
 power cut) can cause a tag mismatch during replay if the journal entry marking
 the end of the journal section is missing. Due to lazy commit, older journal
 entries are not erased and might be processed if they have the same commit ID
 as adjacent newer journal entries. If dm-integrity detects bad sections while
 replaying the journal, keep track about those sections and try to at least
 replay older, good sections.
 This is based on the assumption that most likely the newest
 section(s) will be damaged, which might have been only partially written
 due to a sudden reset. Previously, the whole journal would be cleared in
 such a case.

This is just a very initial version. Bear that in mind please. I would like to
get feedback about the general idea and am aware that further work is needed.

Tests done so far:
- Tests where executed on qemu.
- Test scripts can be found under:
  git@xxxxxxxxxx:simone-weiss/dm-integrity-lazy-commit.git
- Suggestions on how to test this further, what testscases to run this against
  are appreciated.

Further work:
- The superblock should carry information about lazy-commit. Should the
  version be increased for this?
- Add handling/logging if a partition that was created with lazy commits,
  but gets replayed with a "normal" journal mode.
- Allow configuration if you want to use lazy commits or normal commits in the
  journal if lazy commits are enabled
- userspace setup tooling like dmsetup should be adapted accordingly
