commit 0193e3966ceeeef69e235975918b287ab093082b upstream.
We found an issue under Android OTA scenario that many BIOs have to do
FEC where the data under dm-verity is 100% complete and no corruption.
Android OTA has many dm-block layers, from upper to lower:
dm-verity
dm-snapshot
dm-origin & dm-cow
dm-linear
ufs
DM tables have to change 2 times during Android OTA merging process.
When doing table change, the dm-snapshot will be suspended for a while.
During this interval, many readahead IOs are submitted to dm_verity
from filesystem. Then the kverity works are busy doing FEC process
which cost too much time to finish dm-verity IO. This causes needless
delay which feels like system is hung.
After adding debugging it was found that each readahead IO needed
around 10s to finish when this situation occurred. This is due to IO
amplification:
dm-snapshot suspend
erofs_readahead // 300+ io is submitted
dm_submit_bio (dm_verity)
dm_submit_bio (dm_snapshot)
bio return EIO
bio got nothing, it's empty
verity_end_io
verity_verify_io
forloop range(0, io->n_blocks) // each io->nblocks ~= 20
verity_fec_decode
fec_decode_rsb
fec_read_bufs
forloop range(0, v->fec->rsn) // v->fec->rsn = 253
new_read
submit_bio (dm_snapshot)
end loop
end loop
dm-snapshot resume
Readahead BIOs get nothing while dm-snapshot is suspended, so all of
them will cause verity's FEC.
Each readahead BIO needs to verify ~20 (io->nblocks) blocks.
Each block needs to do FEC, and every block needs to do 253
(v->fec->rsn) reads.
So during the suspend interval(~200ms), 300 readahead BIOs trigger
~1518000 (300*20*253) IOs to dm-snapshot.
As readahead IO is not required by userspace, and to fix this issue,
it is best to pass readahead errors to upper layer to handle it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
