[RFC PATCH 0/8] block: add support for REQ_OP_VERIFY

From: Chaitanya Kulkarni <kch at nvidia.com>

Hi,

One of the responsibilities of the Operating System, along with managing
resources, is to provide a unified interface to the user by creating
hardware abstractions. In the Linux Kernel storage stack that
abstraction is created by implementing the generic request operations
such as REQ_OP_READ/REQ_OP_WRITE or REQ_OP_DISCARD/REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES,
etc that are mapped to the specific low-level hardware protocol commands 
e.g. SCSI or NVMe.

With that in mind, this RFC patch-series implements a new block layer
operation to offload the data verification on to the controller if
supported or emulate the operation if not. The main advantage is to free
up the CPU and reduce the host link traffic since, for some devices,
their internal bandwidth is higher than the host link and offloading this
operation can improve the performance of the proactive error detection
applications such as file system level scrubbing. 

* Background *
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

NVMe Specification provides a controller level Verify command [1] which
is similar to the ATA Verify [2] command where the controller is
responsible for data verification without transferring the data to the
host. (Offloading LBAs verification). This is designed to proactively
discover any data corruption issues when the device is free so that
applications can protect sensitive data and take corrective action
instead of waiting for failure to occur.

The NVMe Verify command is added in order to provide low level media
scrubbing and possibly moving the data to the right place in case it has
correctable media degradation. Also, this provides a way to enhance
file-system level scrubbing/checksum verification and optinally offload
this task, which is CPU intensive, to the kernel (when emulated), over
the fabric, and to the controller (when supported).   

This is useful when the controller's internal bandwidth is higher than
the host's bandwith showing a sharp increase in the performance due to
_no host traffic or host CPU involvement_.

* Implementation *
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Right now there is no generic interface which can be used by the
in-kernel components such as file-system or userspace application
(except passthru commands or some combination of write/read/compare) to 
issue verify command with the central block layer API. This can lead to
each userspace applications having protocol specific IOCTL which
defeates the purpose of having the OS provide a H/W abstraction.

This patch series introduces a new block layer payloadless request
operation REQ_OP_VERIFY that allows in-kernel components & userspace
applications to verify the range of the LBAs by offloading checksum
scrubbing/verification to the controller that is directly attached to
the host. For direct attached devices this leads to decrease in the host
DMA traffic and CPU usage and for the fabrics attached device over the
network that leads to a decrease in the network traffic and CPU usage
for both host & target.

* Scope *
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Please note this only covers the operating system level overhead.
Analyzing controller verify command performance for common protocols
(SCSI/NVMe) is out of scope for REQ_OP_VERIFY.

* Micro Benchmarks *
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

When verifing 500GB of data on NVMeOF with nvme-loop and null_blk as a
target backend block device results show almost a 80% performance
increase :-

With Verify resulting in REQ_OP_VERIFY to null_blk :-

real	2m3.773s
user	0m0.000s
sys	0m59.553s

With Emulation resulting in REQ_OP_READ null_blk :-

real	12m18.964s
user	0m0.002s
sys	1m15.666s


A detailed test log is included at the end of the cover letter.
Each of the following was tested:

1. Direct Attached REQ_OP_VERIFY.
2. Fabrics Attached REQ_OP_VERIFY.
3. Multi-device (md) REQ_OP_VERIFY.

* The complete picture *
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

  For the completeness the whole kernel stack support is divided into
  two phases :-
 
  Phase I :-
 
   Add and stabilize the support for the Block layer & low level drivers
   such as SCSI, NVMe, MD, and NVMeOF, implement necessary emulations in
   the block layer if needed and provide block level tools such as 
   _blkverify_. Also, add appropriate testcases for code-coverage.

  Phase II :-
 
   Add and stabilize the support for upper layer kernel components such
   as file-systems and provide userspace tools such _fsverify_ to route
   the request from file systems to block layer to Low level device
   drivers.


Please note that the interfaces for blk-lib.c REQ_OP_VERIFY emulation
will change in future I put together for the scope of RFC.

Any comments are welcome.

[1] NVMe Verify :-

For pro-actively avoiding unrecoverable read errors, NVMe 1.4 adds
Verify and Get LBA Status commands. The Verify command is simple: it
does everything a normal read command does, except for returning the
data to the host system. If a read command would return an error, a
verify command will return the same error. If a read command would be
successful, a verify command will be as well. This makes it possible to
do a low-level scrub of the stored data without being bottlenecked by
the host interface bandwidth. Some SSDs will react to a fixable ECC
error by moving or re-writing degraded data, and a verify command
should trigger the same behavior. Overall, this should reduce the need
for filesystem-level checksum scrubbing/verification. Each Verify
command is tagged with a bit indicating whether the SSD should fail
fast or try hard to recover data, similar to but overriding the above
Read Recovery Level setting.
