[dm-devel] RFC: dm-switch target

We propose a new DM target, dm-switch, which can be used to efficiently
implement a mapping of IOs to underlying block devices in scenarios where there
are: (1) a large number of address regions, (2) a fixed size of these address
regions, (3) no pattern than allows for a compact description with something
like the dm-stripe target.
Motivation:
Dell EqualLogic and some other iSCSI storage arrays use a distributed frameless
architecture. In this architecture, the storage group consists of a number of
distinct storage arrays ("members"), each having independent controllers, disk
storage and network adapters. When a LUN is created it is spread across
multiple members. The details of the spreading are hidden from initiators
connected to this storage system. The storage group exposes a single target
discovery portal, no matter how many members are being used. When iSCSI
sessions are created, each session is connected to an eth port on a single
member. Data to a LUN can be sent on any iSCSI session, and if the blocks being
accessed are stored on another member the IO will be forwarded as required.
This forwarding is invisible to the initiator. The storage layout is also
dynamic, and the blocks stored on disk may be moved from member to member as
needed to balance the load.
This architecture simplifies the management and configuration of both the
storage group and initiators. In a multipathing configuration, it is possible
to set up multiple iSCSI sessions to use multiple network interfaces on both the
host and target to take advantage of the increased network bandwidth. An
initiator can use a simple round robin algorithm to send IO on all paths and let
the storage array members forward it as necessary. However, there is a
performance advantage to sending data directly to the correct member. The
Device Mapper table architecture supports designating different address regions
with different targets. However, in our architecture the LUN is spread with a
chunk size on the order of 10s of MBs, which means the resulting DM table could
have more than a million entries, which consumes too much memory.
Solution:
Based on earlier discussion with the dm-devel contributors, we have solved this
problem by using Device Mapper to build a two-layer device hierarchy:
Upper Tier – Determine which array member the IO should be sent to.
Lower Tier – Load balance amongst paths to a particular member.
The lower tier consists of a single multipath device for each member. Each of
these multipath devices contains the set of paths directly to the array member
in one priority group, and leverages existing path selectors to load balance
amongst these paths. We also build a non-preferred priority group containing
paths to other array members for failover reasons.
The upper tier consists of a single switch device, using the new DM target
module proposed here. This device uses a bitmap to look up the location of the
IO and choose the appropriate lower tier device to route the IO. By using a
bitmap we are able to use 4 bits for each address range in a 16 member group
(which is very large for us). This is a much denser representation than the DM
table B-tree can achieve.
Though we have developed this target for a specific storage device, we have made
an effort to keep it a general purpose as possible in hopes that others may
benefit. We welcome any feedback on the design or implementation.
