Try to minimize cache effects of the I/O */ /* to and from this file. In general this will degrade performance, but it */ /* is useful in special situations, such as when applications do their own */ /* caching. File I/O is done directly to/from user space buffers. The I/O is*/ /* synchronous, that is, at the completion of a read(2) or write(2), data is*/ /* guranteed to have been transferred. Under Linux 2.4 transfer sizes, and */ /* the alignment of user buffer and file offset must all be multiples of */ /* the logical block size of the file system. Under Linux 2.6 alignment to */ /* 512-byte bound-aries suffices. */ /* However, it appears that data corruption may occur when a multithreaded */ /* process reads into a non-page size aligned user buffer. A test program */ /* which reliably reproduces the problem on ext3 and xfs is attached. The */ /* program creates, patterns, reads, and verify a series of files. In the */ /* read phase, a file is opened with O_DIRECT n times, where n is the */ /* number of cpu's. A single buffer large enough to contain the file is */ /* allocated and patterned with data not found in any of the files. The */ /* alignment of the buffer is controlled by a command line option. Each file*/ /* is read in parallel by n threads, where n is the number of cpu's. Thread */ /* 0 reads the first page of data from the file into the first page of the */ /* buffer, thread 1 reads the second page of data in to the second page of */ /* the buffer, and so on. Thread n - 1 reads the remainder of the file into*/ /* the remainder of the buffer. */ /* After a thread reads data into the buffer, it immediately verifies that */ /* the contents of the buffer are correct. If the buffer contains corrupt */ /* data, the thread dumps the data surrounding the corruption and calls */ /* abort(). Otherwise, the thread exits. */ /* Crucially, before the reader threads are dispatched, another thread is */ /* started which calls fork()/msleep() in a loop until all reads are compl- */ /* eted. The child created by fork() does nothing but call exit(0). A comm- */ /* and line option controls whether the buffer is aligned. In the case wh- */ /* ere the buffer is aligned on a page boundary, all is well. In the case */ /* where the buffer is aligned on a page + 512 byte offset, corruption is */ /* seen frequently. */ /* I believe that what is happening is that in the direct IO path, because */ /* the user's buffer is not aligned, some user pages are being mapped twice.*/ /* When a fork() happens in between the calls to map the page, the page will*/ /* be marked as COW. When the second map happens (via get_user_pages()), a */ /* new physical page will be allocated and copied. Thus, there is a race */ /* between the completion of the first read from disk (and write to the user*/ /* page) and get_user_pages() mapping the page for the second time. If the */ /* write does not complete before the page is copied, the user will see */ /* stale data in the first 512 bytes of this page of their buffer. Indeed, */ /* this is corruption most frequently seen. (It's also possible for the race*/ /* to be lost the other way, so that the last 3584 bytes of the page are */ /* stale.) */ /* The attached program (which is a heavily modified version of a program */ /* provided by a customer seeing this problem) reliably reproduces the pro- */ /* blem on any multicore linux machine on both ext3 and xfs, although any */ /* filesystem using the generic blockdev_direct_IO() routine is probably */ /* vulnerable. I've seen a few threads that mention the potential for this */ /* kind of problem, but no definitive solution or workaround (other than */ /* "Don't do that"). */ /* http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=122668235304637&w=2 */ /* */ /* Total Tests: 1 */ /* */ /* Test Name: dma_thread_diotest7 */ /* */ /* Author: Tim LaBerge <tim.laberge@quantum.com> */ /* */ /* History: Reported - Jan 07 2009 - Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> */ /* Ported - Jan 23 2009 - Subrata <subrata@linux.vnet.ibm.com> */ /* */ /******************************************************************************/ #define _GNU_SOURCE 1 #include <stdio.h> #include <stdint.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <memory.h> #include <pthread.h> #include <getopt.h> #include <errno.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/wait.h> #include <sys/mount.h> #include "test.h" #include "safe_macros.h" #define FILESIZE (12*1024*1024) #define READSIZE (1024*1024) #define MNT_POINT "mntpoint" #define FILE_BASEPATH MNT_POINT "/_dma_thread_test_%.04d.tmp" #define DIR_MODE (S_IRUSR|S_IWUSR|S_IXUSR|S_IRGRP| \ S_IXGRP|S_IROTH|S_IXOTH) #define FILECOUNT 100 #define PATTERN (0xfa) #define PAGE_SIZE getpagesize() #define MIN_WORKERS 2 #define MAX_WORKERS (READSIZE/PAGE_SIZE) char *TCID = "dma_thread_diotest";
