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.

The risk of redundant IO accounting was not taken into consideration when commit 18a25da8 ("dm: ensure bio submission follows a depth-first tree walk") introduced IO splitting in terms of recursion via generic_make_request(). Fix this by subtracting the split bio's payload from the IO stats that were already accounted for by start_io_acct() upon dm_make_request() entry. This repeat oscillation of the IO accounting, up then down, isn't ideal but refactoring DM core's IO splitting to pre-split bios _before_ they are accounted turned out to be an excessive amount of change that will need a full development cycle to refine and verify. Before this fix: /dev/mapper/stripe_dev is a 4-way stripe using a 32k chunksize, so bios are split on 32k boundaries. # fio --name=16M --filename=/dev/mapper/stripe_dev --rw=write --bs=64k --size=16M \ --iodepth=1 --ioengine=libaio --direct=1 --refill_buffers with debugging added: [103898.310264] device-mapper: core: start_io_acct: dm-2 WRITE bio->bi_iter.bi_sector=0 len=128 [103898.318704] device-mapper: core: __split_and_process_bio: recursing for following split bio: [103898.329136] device-mapper: core: start_io_acct: dm-2 WRITE bio->bi_iter.bi_sector=64 len=64 ... 16M written yet 136M (278528 * 512b) accounted: # cat /sys/block/dm-2/stat | awk '{ print $7 }' 278528 After this fix: 16M written and 16M (32768 * 512b) accounted: # cat /sys/block/dm-2/stat | awk '{ print $7 }' 32768 Fixes: 18a25da8 ("dm: ensure bio submission follows a depth-first tree walk") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 4.16+ Reported-by:Bryan Gurney <bgurney@redhat.com> Reviewed-by:
