[PATCH v6 07/11] blksnap: difference storage and chunk

Sergei Shtepa
2023-11-24T17:00:57Z

The struct diff_area provides management of difference blocks of block
devices. Storing difference blocks, and reading them to get a snapshot
images.

The struct chunk describes the minimum data storage unit of the original
block device. Functions for working with these minimal blocks implement
algorithms for reading and writing blocks.

+ * struct chunk - Minimum data storage unit.
+ *
+ * @link:
+ * The list header allows to create queue of chunks.
+ * @number:
+ * Sequential number of the chunk.
+ * @sector_count:
+ * Number of sectors in the current chunk. This is especially true
+ * for the last chunk.
+ * @lock:
+ * Binary semaphore. Syncs access to the chunks fields: state,
+ * diff_buffer, diff_file and diff_ofs_sect.
+ * @diff_area:
+ * Pointer to the difference area - the difference storage area for a
+ * specific device. This field is only available when the chunk is locked.
+ * Allows to protect the difference area from early release.
+ * @state:
+ * Defines the state of a chunk.
+ * @diff_bdev:
+ * The difference storage block device.
+ * @diff_file:
+ * The difference storage file.
+ * @diff_ofs_sect:
+ * The sector offset of the region's first sector.
+ * @diff_buffer:
+ * Pointer to &struct diff_buffer. Describes a buffer in the memory
+ * for storing the chunk data.
+ * on the difference storage.
+ *
+ * This structure describes the block of data that the module operates
+ * with when executing the copy-on-write algorithm and when performing I/O
+ * to snapshot images.
+ *
+ * If the data of the chunk has been changed, then the chunk gets into store
+ * queue. The queue provides caching of chunks. Saving chunks to the storage is
+ * performed in a separate working thread. This ensures the best system
+ * performance.
+ *
+ * The semaphore is blocked for writing if there is no actual data in the
+ * buffer, since a block of data is being read from the original device or
+ * from a difference storage. If data is being read from or written to the
+ * diff_buffer, the semaphore must be locked.

+/**
+ * struct diff_area - Describes the difference area for one original device.
+ *
+ * @kref:
+ * The reference counter allows to manage the lifetime of an object.
+ * @orig_bdev:
+ * A pointer to the structure of an opened block device.
+ * @diff_storage:
+ * Pointer to difference storage for storing difference data.
+ * @tracker:
+ * Back pointer to the tracker for this &struct diff_area
+ * @chunk_shift:
+ * Power of 2 used to specify the chunk size. This allows to set different
+ * chunk sizes for huge and small block devices.
+ * @chunk_count:
+ * Count of chunks. The number of chunks into which the block device
+ * is divided.
+ * @chunk_map:
+ * A map of chunks. The map stores only chunks of differences. Chunks are
+ * added to the map if this data block was overwritten on the original
+ * device, or was overwritten on the snapshot. If there is no chunk in the
+ * map, then when accessing the snapshot, I/O units are redirected to the
+ * original device.
+ * @store_queue_lock:
+ * The spinlock guarantees consistency of the linked lists of chunks
+ * queue.
+ * @store_queue:
+ * The queue of chunks waiting to be stored to the difference storage.
+ * @store_queue_count:
+ * The number of chunks in the store queue.
+ * @store_queue_work:
+ * The workqueue work item. This worker stores chunks to the difference
+ * storage freeing up the cache. It's limits the number of chunks that
+ * store their data in RAM.
+ * @store_queue_processing:
+ * The flag is an indication that the &diff_area.store_queue_work is
+ * running or has been scheduled to run.
+ * @free_diff_buffers_lock:
+ * The spinlock guarantees consistency of the linked lists of free
+ * difference buffers.
+ * @free_diff_buffers:
+ * Linked list of free difference buffers allows to reduce the number
+ * of buffer allocation and release operations.
+ * @free_diff_buffers_count:
+ * The number of free difference buffers in the linked list.
+ * @image_io_queue_lock:
+ * The spinlock guarantees consistency of the linked lists of I/O
+ * requests to image.
+ * @image_io_queue:
+ * A linked list of I/O units for the snapshot image that need to be read
+ * from the difference storage to process.
+ * @image_io_work:
+ * A worker who maintains the I/O units for reading or writing data to the
+ * difference storage file. If the difference storage is a block device,
+ * then this worker is not used to process the I/O units of the snapshot
+ * image.
+ * @physical_blksz:
+ * The physical block size for the snapshot image is equal to the
+ * physical block size of the original device.
+ * @logical_blksz:
+ * The logical block size for the snapshot image is equal to the
+ * logical block size of the original device.
+ * @corrupt_flag:
+ * The flag is set if an error occurred in the operation of the data
+ * saving mechanism in the diff area. In this case, an error will be
+ * generated when reading from the snapshot image.
+ * @error_code:
+ * The error code that caused the snapshot to be corrupted.
+ *
+ * The &struct diff_area is created for each block device in the snapshot. It
+ * is used to store the differences between the original block device and the
+ * snapshot image. That is, when writing data to the original device, the
+ * differences are copied as chunks to the difference storage. Reading and
+ * writing from the snapshot image is also performed using &struct diff_area.
+ *
+ * The map of chunks is a xarray. It has a capacity limit. This can be
+ * especially noticeable on 32-bit systems. The maximum number of chunks for
+ * 32-bit systems cannot be equal or more than 2^32.
+ *
+ * For example, for a 256 TiB disk and a chunk size of 65536 bytes, the number
+ * of chunks in the chunk map will be equal to 2^32. This number already goes
+ * beyond the 32-bit number. Therefore, for large disks, it is required to
+ * increase the size of the chunk.
+ *
+ * The store queue allows to postpone the operation of storing a chunks data
+ * to the difference storage and perform it later in the worker thread.
+ *
+ * The linked list of difference buffers allows to have a certain number of
+ * "hot" buffers. This allows to reduce the number of allocations and releases
+ * of memory.
+ *
+ * If it is required to read or write to the difference storage file to process
+ * I/O unit from snapshot image, then this operation is performed in a separate
+ * thread. To do this, a worker &diff_area.image_io_work and a queue
+ * &diff_area.image_io_queue are used. An attempt to read a file from the same
+ * thread that initiated the block I/O can lead to a deadlock state.

+ * A queue of events to pass events to user space.
+ *
+ * The difference storage manages the block device or file that are used
+ * to store the data of the original block devices in the snapshot.
+ * The difference storage is created one per snapshot and is used to store
+ * data from all block devices.
+ *
+ * The difference storage file has the ability to increase while holding the
+ * snapshot as needed within the specified limits. This is done using the
+ * function vfs_fallocate().
+ *
+ * Changing the file size leads to a change in the file metadata in the file
+ * system, which leads to the generation of I/O units for the block device.
+ * Using a separate working thread ensures that metadata changes will be
+ * handled and correctly processed by the block-level filters.
+ *
+ * The event queue allows to inform the user land about changes in the state
+ * of the difference storage.
