Dan Carpenter c1c6156fe4 dm space map metadata: fix sm_bootstrap_get_nr_blocks()
This function isn't right and it causes a static checker warning:

	drivers/md/dm-thin.c:3016 maybe_resize_data_dev()
	error: potentially using uninitialized 'sb_data_size'.

It should set "*count" and return zero on success the same as the
sm_metadata_get_nr_blocks() function does earlier.

Darrick J. Wong 445559cdcb dm bufio: fix memleak when using a dm_buffer's inline bio
When dm-bufio sets out to use the bio built into a struct dm_buffer to
issue an IO, it needs to call bio_reset after it's done with the bio
so that we can free things attached to the bio such as the integrity
payload.  Therefore, inject our own endio callback to take care of
the bio_reset after calling submit_io's end_io callback.

Test case:
1. modprobe scsi_debug delay=0 dif=1 dix=199 ato=1 dev_size_mb=300
2. Set up a dm-bufio client, e.g. dm-verity, on the scsi_debug device
3. Repeatedly read metadata and watch kmalloc-192 leak!

We never bother caching a partial block that is at the back end of the

Joe Thornber 3e2e1c3098 dm cache: when reloading a discard bitset allow for a different discard block size
The discard block size can change if the origin changes size or if an
old DM cache is upgraded from using a discard block size that was equal
to cache block size.

To fix this an extent of discarded blocks is established for the purpose
of translating the old discard block size to the new in-core discard
block size and set bits.  The old (potentially huge) discard bitset is
left ondisk until it is re-written using the new in-core information on
the next successful DM cache shutdown.

rcu_dereference() should be used in sections protected by rcu_read_lock.

For writers, holding some kind of mutex or lock,
rcu_dereference_protected() is the way to go, adding explicit lockdep
bits.

In __unbind(), we are the last user of this mapped device, so can use
the constant '1' instead of a lockdep_is_held(), not consistent with
other uses of rcu_dereference_protected() which use md->suspend_lock

Mike Snitzer d200c30ef0 dm thin: fix pool_io_hints to avoid looking at max_hw_sectors
Simplify the pool_io_hints code that works to establish a max_sectors
value that is a power-of-2 factor of the thin-pool's blocksize.  The
biggest associated improvement is that the DM thin-pool is no longer
concerning itself with the data device's max_hw_sectors when adjusting
max_sectors.

This fixes the relative fragility of the original "dm thin: adjust
max_sectors_kb based on thinp blocksize" commit that only became
apparent when testing was performed using a DM thin-pool ontop of a
virtio_blk device.  One proposed upstream patch detailed the problems
inherent in virtio_blk: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/11/20/611

So even though virtio_blk incorrectly set its max_hw_sectors it actually
helped make it clear that we need DM thinp to be tolerant of any future
Linux driver that incorrectly sets max_hw_sectors.

We only need to be concerned with modifying the thin-pool device's
max_sectors limit if it is smaller than the thin-pool's blocksize.  In
this case the value of max_sectors does become a limiting factor when
upper layers (e.g. filesystems) construct their bios.  But if the
hardware can support IOs larger than the thin-pool's blocksize the user
is encouraged to adjust the thin-pool's data device's max_sectors
accordingly -- doing so will enable the thin-pool to inherit the
established user-defined max_sectors.

all active thin devices, reload/resize the thin-pool target, then resume

Mike Snitzer ffcc393641 dm: enhance internal suspend and resume interface
Rename dm_internal_{suspend,resume} to dm_internal_{suspend,resume}_fast
-- dm-stats will continue using these methods to avoid all the extra
suspend/resume logic that is not needed in order to quickly flush IO.

Introduce dm_internal_suspend_noflush() variant that actually calls the
mapped_device's target callbacks -- otherwise target-specific hooks are
avoided (e.g. dm-thin's thin_presuspend and thin_postsuspend).  Common
code between dm_internal_{suspend_noflush,resume} and
dm_{suspend,resume} was factored out as __dm_{suspend,resume}.

Update dm_internal_{suspend_noflush,resume} to always take and release
the mapped_device's suspend_lock.  Also update dm_{suspend,resume} to be
aware of potential for DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG to be set and respond
accordingly by interruptibly waiting for the DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG to
be cleared.  Add lockdep annotation to dm_suspend() and dm_resume().

The existing DM_SUSPEND_FLAG remains unchanged.
DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG is set by dm_internal_suspend_noflush() and
cleared by dm_internal_resume().

Both DM_SUSPEND_FLAG and DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG may be set if a device
was already suspended when dm_internal_suspend_noflush() was called --
this can be thought of as a "nested suspend".  A "nested suspend" can
occur with legacy userspace dm-thin code that might suspend all active
thin volumes before suspending the pool for resize.

But otherwise, in the normal dm-thin-pool suspend case moving forward:
the thin-pool will have DM_SUSPEND_FLAG set and all active thins from
that thin-pool will have DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG set.

Also add DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG to status report.  This new
DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG state is being reported to assist with
debugging (e.g. 'dmsetup info' will report an internally suspended
device accordingly).

Joe Thornber 7ae34e7778 dm cache: improve discard support
Safely allow the discard blocksize to be larger than the cache blocksize
by using the bio prison's range locking support.  This also improves
discard performance considerly because larger discards are issued to the
dm-cache device.  The discard blocksize was always intended to be
greater than the cache blocksize.  But until now it wasn't implemented
safely.

Also, by safely restoring the ability to have discard blocksize larger
than cache blocksize we're able to significantly reduce the memory used
for the cache's discard bitset.  Before, with a small discard blocksize,
the discard bitset could get quite large because its size is a function
of the discard blocksize and the origin device's size.  For example,
previously, using a 32KB cache blocksize with a 40TB origin resulted in
1280MB of incore memory use for the discard bitset!  Now, the discard
blocksize is scaled up accordingly to ensure the discard bitset is
capped at 2**14 bits, or 16KB.

These code changes do not introduce a functional change.

But bio_add_page() will never attempt to build up a bio larger than

queue_max_sectors().  Therefore, there is no point in allowing
dm_merge_bvec() to answer "how many sectors can a bio have at this
offset?" with anything larger than queue_max_sectors().  Using
queue_max_sectors() rather than BIO_MAX_SECTORS serves to more
accurately convey the limits that are being imposed.

Also, use unlikely() to clarify the fact that the defensive code in
dm_merge_bvec() relative to max_size going negative shouldn't ever
happen -- if it does happen there is a bug in the block layer for
requesting larger than dm_merge_bvec()'s initial response for a given

Throttling definitely helps dm-thinp perform better under heavy IO load

drastically, e.g.: from 60K to ~6K, and even as low as 150 once metadata

avgqu-sz stays at or below 30K even with dirty_ratio=20,

Joe Thornber a195db2d29 dm bio prison: switch to using a red black tree
Previously it was using a fixed sized hash table.  There are times
when very many concurrent cells are held (such as when processing a very
large discard).  When this happens the hash table performance becomes
very poor.

Joe Thornber 33096a7822 dm bufio: evict buffers that are past the max age but retain some buffers
These changes help keep metadata backed by dm-bufio in-core longer which
fixes reports of metadata churn in the face of heavy random IO workloads.

Before, bufio evicted all buffers older than DM_BUFIO_DEFAULT_AGE_SECS.
Having a device (e.g. dm-thinp or dm-cache) lose all metadata just
because associated buffers had been idle for some time is unfriendly.

Now, the user may now configure the number of bytes that bufio retains
using the 'retain_bytes' module parameter.  The default is 256K.

Also, the DM_BUFIO_WORK_TIMER_SECS and DM_BUFIO_DEFAULT_AGE_SECS
defaults were quite low so increase them (to 30 and 300 respectively).

Joe Thornber 4e420c452b dm bufio: switch from a huge hash table to an rbtree
Converting over to using an rbtree eliminates a fixed 8MB allocation
from vmalloc space for the hash table.

Joe Thornber 9b460d3699 dm btree: fix a recursion depth bug in btree walking code
The walk code was using a 'ro_spine' to hold it's locked btree nodes.
But this data structure is designed for the rolling lock scheme, and
as such automatically unlocks blocks that are two steps up the call
chain.  This is not suitable for the simple recursive walk algorithm,
which retraces its steps.

This code is only used by the persistent array code, which in turn is
only used by dm-cache.  In order to trigger it you need to have a
mapping tree that is more than 2 levels deep; which equates to 8-16
million cache blocks.  For instance a 4T ssd with a very small block
size of 32k only just triggers this bug.

The fix just places the locked blocks on the stack, and stops using
the ro_spine altogether.
