Joe Thornber 086fbbbda9 dm thin metadata: make dm_thin_find_mapped_range() atomic
Refactor dm_thin_find_mapped_range() so that it takes the read lock on
the metadata's lock; rather than relying on finer grained locking that
is pushed down inside dm_thin_find_next_mapped_block() and
dm_thin_find_block().

Joe Thornber 49e99fc717 dm thin metadata: fix bug when taking a metadata snapshot
When you take a metadata snapshot the btree roots for the mapping and
details tree need to have their reference counts incremented so they
persist for the lifetime of the metadata snap.

The roots being incremented were those currently written in the
superblock, which could possibly be out of date if concurrent IO is
triggering new mappings, breaking of sharing, etc.

Fix this by performing a commit with the metadata lock held while taking
a metadata snapshot.

Joe Thornber 993ceab919 dm thin metadata: fix bug in dm_thin_remove_range()
dm_btree_remove_leaves() only unmaps a contiguous region so we need a
loop, in __remove_range(), to handle ranges that contain multiple
regions.

A new btree function, dm_btree_lookup_next(), is introduced which is
more efficiently able to skip over regions of the thin device which
aren't mapped.  __remove_range() uses dm_btree_lookup_next() for each
iteration of __remove_range()'s loop.

Also, improve description of dm_btree_remove_leaves().

Mike Snitzer 9aec8629ec dm thin metadata: do not allow the data block size to change
The block size for the thin-pool's data device must remained fixed for
the life of the thin-pool.  Disallow any attempt to change the
thin-pool's data block size.

It should be noted that attempting to change the data block size via
thin-pool table reload will be ignored as a side-effect of the thin-pool
handover that the thin-pool target does during thin-pool table reload.

Here is an example outcome of attempting to load a thin-pool table that
reduced the thin-pool's data block size from 1024K to 512K.

Before:
kernel: device-mapper: thin: 253:4: growing the data device from 204800 to 409600 blocks

After:
kernel: device-mapper: thin metadata: changing the data block size (from 2048 to 1024) is not supported
kernel: device-mapper: table: 253:4: thin-pool: Error creating metadata object
kernel: device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table

Mike Snitzer 07f2b6e038 dm thin: ensure user takes action to validate data and metadata consistency
If a thin metadata operation fails the current transaction will abort,
whereby causing potential for IO layers up the stack (e.g. filesystems)
to have data loss.  As such, set THIN_METADATA_NEEDS_CHECK_FLAG in the
thin metadata's superblock which:
1) requires the user verify the thin metadata is consistent (e.g. use
   thin_check, etc)
2) suggests the user verify the thin data is consistent (e.g. use fsck)

The only way to clear the superblock's THIN_METADATA_NEEDS_CHECK_FLAG is
to run thin_repair.

On metadata operation failure: abort current metadata transaction, set
pool in read-only mode, and now set the needs_check flag.

As part of this change, constraints are introduced or relaxed:
* don't allow a pool to transition to write mode if needs_check is set
* don't allow data or metadata space to be resized if needs_check is set
* if a thin pool's metadata space is exhausted: the kernel will now
  force the user to take the pool offline for repair before the kernel
  will allow the metadata space to be extended.

Also, update Documentation to include information about when the thin
provisioning target commits metadata, how it handles metadata failures
and running out of space.

Mike Snitzer 7d48935eff dm thin: allow metadata space larger than supported to go unused
It was always intended that a user could provide a thin metadata device
that is larger than the max supported by the on-disk format.  The extra
space would just go unused.

Unfortunately that never worked.  If the user attempted to use a larger
metadata device on creation they would get an error like the following:

 device-mapper: space map common: space map too large
 device-mapper: transaction manager: couldn't create metadata space map
 device-mapper: thin metadata: tm_create_with_sm failed
 device-mapper: table: 252:17: thin-pool: Error creating metadata object
 device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table

Fix this by allowing the initial metadata space map creation to cap its
size at the max number of blocks supported (DM_SM_METADATA_MAX_BLOCKS).
get_metadata_dev_size() must also impose DM_SM_METADATA_MAX_BLOCKS (via
THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS), otherwise extending metadata would cap at
THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS_WARNING (which is larger than supported).

Also, the calculation for THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS didn't account for
the sizeof the disk_bitmap_header.  So the supported maximum metadata
size is a bit smaller (reduced from 33423360 to 33292800 sectors).

Lastly, remove the "excess space will not be used" warning message from
get_metadata_dev_size(); it resulted in printing the warning multiple
times.  Factor out warn_if_metadata_device_too_big(), call it from
pool_ctr() and maybe_resize_metadata_dev().

Joe Thornber 19fa1a6756 dm thin: fix discard support to a previously shared block
If a snapshot is created and later deleted the origin dm_thin_device's
snapshotted_time will have been updated to reflect the snapshot's
creation time.  The 'shared' flag in the dm_thin_lookup_result struct
returned from dm_thin_find_block() is an approximation based on
snapshotted_time -- this is done to avoid 0(n), or worse, time
complexity.  In this case, the shared flag would be true.

But because the 'shared' flag reflects an approximation a block can be
incorrectly assumed to be shared (e.g. false positive for 'shared'
because the snapshot no longer exists).  This could result in discards
issued to a thin device not being passed down to the pool's underlying
data device.

To fix this we double check that a thin block is really still in-use
after a mapping is removed using dm_pool_block_is_used().  If the
reference count for a block is now zero the discard is allowed to be
passed down.

Also add a 'definitely_not_shared' member to the dm_thin_new_mapping
structure -- reflects that the 'shared' flag in the response from
dm_thin_find_block() can only be held as definitive if false is
returned.

A thin-pool may be in read-only mode because the pool's data or metadata
space was exhausted.  To allow for recovery, by adding more space to the
pool, we must allow a pool to transition from PM_READ_ONLY to PM_WRITE
mode.  Otherwise, running out of space will render the pool permanently
read-only.

Introduce dm_pool_abort_metadata to abort the current metadata
transaction.  Generally this will only be called when bad things are
happening and dm-thin is trying to roll back to a good state for

It's complicated by the fact that the metadata device may have failed
completely causing the abort to be unable to read the old transaction.
In this case the metadata object is placed in a 'fail' mode and
everything fails apart from destroying it.

Joe Thornber eb04cf634f dm thin metadata: stop tracking need for commit
Remove an optimisation that tracks whether or not a thin metadata commit
is needed.

If dm_pool_commit_metadata() is called and no changes have been made
to the metadata then this optimisation avoided writing to disk.

Removing because we're going to do something better later.

Joe Thornber 51a0f659c0 dm persistent data: create new dm_block_manager struct
This patch introduces a separate struct for the block_manager.
It also uses IS_ERR to check the return value of dm_bufio_client_create
instead of testing incorrectly for NULL.

Prior to this patch a struct dm_block_manager was really an alias for
a struct dm_bufio_client.  We want to add some functionality to the
block manager that will require extra fields, so this one to one
mapping is no longer valid.
