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.

If the thin-pool transitioned to fail mode and the thin-pool's table
were reloaded for some reason: the new table's default pool mode would
be read-write, though it will transition to fail mode during resume.
When the pool mode transitions directly from PM_WRITE to PM_FAIL we need
to re-establish the intermediate read-only state in both the metadata
and persistent-data block manager (as is usually done with the normal
pool mode transition sequence: PM_WRITE -> PM_READ_ONLY -> PM_FAIL).

This adds a generic mechanism for chaining bio completions. This is
going to be used for a bio_split() replacement, and it turns out to be
very useful in a fair amount of driver code - a fair number of drivers
were implementing this in their own roundabout ways, often painfully.
Note that this means it's no longer to call bio_endio() more than once
on the same bio! This can cause problems for drivers that save/restore
bi_end_io. Arguably they shouldn't be saving/restoring bi_end_io at all
- in all but the simplest cases they'd be better off just cloning the
bio, and immutable biovecs is making bio cloning cheaper. But for now,
we add a bio_endio_nodec() for these cases.

Fix issue where the block layer would stack the discard limits of the
pool's data device even if the "ignore_discard" pool feature was
specified.
The pool and thin device(s) still had discards disabled because the
QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD request_queue flag wasn't set. But to avoid user
confusion when "ignore_discard" is used: both the pool device and the
thin device(s) have zeroes for all discard limits.
Also, always set discard_zeroes_data_unsupported in targets because they
should never advertise the 'discard_zeroes_data' capability (even if the
pool's data device supports it).

If pool has 'no_free_space' set it means a previous allocation already
determined the pool has no free space (and failed that allocation with
-ENOSPC). By always returning -ENOSPC if 'no_free_space' is set, we do
not allow the pool to oscillate between allocating blocks and then not.
But a side-effect of this determinism is that if a user wants to be able
to allocate new blocks they'll need to reload the pool's table (to clear
the 'no_free_space' flag). This reload will happen automatically if the
pool's data volume is resized. But if the user takes action to free a
lot of space by deleting snapshot volumes, etc the pool will no longer
allow data allocations to continue without an intervening table reload.

Fix a bug in dm_btree_remove that could leave leaf values with incorrect
reference counts. The effect of this was that removal of a shared block
could result in the space maps thinking the block was no longer used.
More concretely, if you have a thin device and a snapshot of it, sending
a discard to a shared region of the thin could corrupt the snapshot.
Thinp uses a 2-level nested btree to store it's mappings. This first
level is indexed by thin device, and the second level by logical
block.
Often when we're removing an entry in this mapping tree we need to
rebalance nodes, which can involve shadowing them, possibly creating a
copy if the block is shared. If we do create a copy then children of
that node need to have their reference counts incremented. In this
way reference counts percolate down the tree as shared trees diverge.
The rebalance functions were incrementing the children at the
appropriate time, but they were always assuming the children were
internal nodes. This meant the leaf values (in our case packed
block/flags entries) were not being incremented.

Avoid returning a truncated table or status string instead of setting
the DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG when the last target of a table fills the
buffer.
When processing a table or status request, the function retrieve_status
calls ti->type->status. If ti->type->status returns non-zero,
retrieve_status assumes that the buffer overflowed and sets
DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG.
However, targets don't return non-zero values from their status method
on overflow. Most targets returns always zero.
If a buffer overflow happens in a target that is not the last in the
table, it gets noticed during the next iteration of the loop in
retrieve_status; but if a buffer overflow happens in the last target, it
goes unnoticed and erroneously truncated data is returned.
In the current code, the targets behave in the following way:
* dm-crypt returns -ENOMEM if there is not enough space to store the
key, but it returns 0 on all other overflows.
* dm-thin returns errors from the status method if a disk error happened.
This is incorrect because retrieve_status doesn't check the error
code, it assumes that all non-zero values mean buffer overflow.
* all the other targets always return 0.
This patch changes the ti->type->status function to return void (because
most targets don't use the return code). Overflow is detected in
retrieve_status: if the status method fills up the remaining space
completely, it is assumed that buffer overflow happened.

thin_io_hints() is blindly copying the queue limits from the thin-pool
which can lead to incorrect limits being set. The fix here simply
deletes the thin_io_hints() hook which leaves the existing stacking
infrastructure to set the limits correctly.
When a thin-pool uses an MD device for the data device a thin device
from the thin-pool must respect MD's constraints about disallowing a bio
from spanning multiple chunks. Otherwise we can see problems. If the raid0
chunksize is 1152K and thin-pool chunksize is 256K I see the following
md/raid0 error (with extra debug tracing added to thin_endio) when
mkfs.xfs is executed against the thin device:
md/raid0:md99: make_request bug: can't convert block across chunks or bigger than 1152k 6688 127
device-mapper: thin: bio sector=2080 err=-5 bi_size=130560 bi_rw=17 bi_vcnt=32 bi_idx=0
This extra DM debugging shows that the failing bio is spanning across
the first and second logical 1152K chunk (sector 2080 + 255 takes the
bio beyond the first chunk's boundary of sector 2304). So the bio
splitting that DM is doing clearly isn't respecting the MD limits.
max_hw_sectors_kb is 127 for both the thin-pool and thin device
(queue_max_hw_sectors returns 255 so we'll excuse sysfs's lack of
precision). So this explains why bi_size is 130560.
But the thin device's max_hw_sectors_kb should be 4 (PAGE_SIZE) given
that it doesn't have a .merge function (for bio_add_page to consult
indirectly via dm_merge_bvec) yet the thin-pool does sit above an MD
device that has a compulsory merge_bvec_fn. This scenario is exactly
why DM must resort to sending single PAGE_SIZE bios to the underlying
layer. Some additional context for this is available in the header for
commit 8cbeb67a ("dm: avoid unsupported spanning of md stripe boundaries").
Long story short, the reason a thin device doesn't properly get
configured to have a max_hw_sectors_kb of 4 (PAGE_SIZE) is that
thin_io_hints() is blindly copying the queue limits from the thin-pool
device directly to the thin device's queue limits.
Fix this by eliminating thin_io_hints. Doing so is safe because the
block layer's queue limits stacking already enables the upper level thin
device to inherit the thin-pool device's discard and minimum_io_size and
optimal_io_size limits that get set in pool_io_hints. But avoiding the
queue limits copy allows the thin and thin-pool limits to be different
where it is important, namely max_hw_sectors_kb.

There is a race when discard bios and non-discard bios are issued
simultaneously to the same block.
Discard support is expensive for all thin devices precisely because you
have to be careful to quiesce the area you're discarding. DM thin must
handle this conflicting IO pattern (simultaneous non-discard vs discard)
even though a sane application shouldn't be issuing such IO.
The race manifests as follows:
1. A non-discard bio is mapped in thin_bio_map.
This doesn't lock out parallel activity to the same block.
2. A discard bio is issued to the same block as the non-discard bio.
3. The discard bio is locked in a dm_bio_prison_cell in process_discard
to lock out parallel activity against the same block.
4. The non-discard bio's mapping continues and its all_io_entry is
incremented so the bio is accounted for in the thin pool's all_io_ds
which is a dm_deferred_set used to track time locality of non-discard IO.
5. The non-discard bio is finally locked in a dm_bio_prison_cell in
process_bio.
The race can result in deadlock, leaving the block layer hanging waiting
for completion of a discard bio that never completes, e.g.:
INFO: task ruby:15354 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

The thinp-test-suite's test_discard_random_sectors reliably hits this
deadlock on fast SSD storage.
The fix for this race is that the all_io_entry for a bio must be
incremented whilst the dm_bio_prison_cell is held for the bio's
associated virtual and physical blocks. That cell locking wasn't
occurring early enough in thin_bio_map. This patch fixes this.
Care is taken to always call the new function inc_all_io_entry() with
the relevant cells locked, but they are generally unlocked before
calling issue() to try to avoid holding the cells locked across
generic_submit_request.
Also, now that thin_bio_map may lock bios in a cell, process_bio() is no
longer the only thread that will do so. Because of this we must be sure

Change existing users of the function dm_cell_release_singleton to share
cell_defer_except instead, and then remove the now-unused function.
Everywhere that calls dm_cell_release_singleton, the bio in question
is the holder of the cell.
If there are no non-holder entries in the cell then cell_defer_except
behaves exactly like dm_cell_release_singleton. Conversely, if there
*are* non-holder entries then dm_cell_release_singleton must not be used
because those entries would need to be deferred.
Consequently, it is safe to replace use of dm_cell_release_singleton
with cell_defer_except.
This patch is a pre-requisite for "dm thin: fix race between
simultaneous io and discards to same block".

Support discards when the pool's block size is not a power of 2.
The block layer assumes discard_granularity is a power of 2 (in
blkdev_issue_discard), so we set this to the largest power of 2 that is
a divides into the number of sectors in each block, but never less than
DATA_DEV_BLOCK_SIZE_MIN_SECTORS.
This patch eliminates the "Discard support must be disabled when the
block size is not a power of 2" constraint that was imposed in commit
55f2b8b ("dm thin: support for non power of 2 pool blocksize"). That

The discard limits that get established for a thin-pool or thin device
may be incompatible with the pool's data device. Avoid this by checking
the discard limits of the pool's data device. If an incompatibility is
found then the pool's 'discard passdown' feature is disabled.
Change thin_io_hints to ensure that a thin device always uses the same
queue limits as its pool device.
Introduce requested_pf to track whether or not the table line originally
contained the no_discard_passdown flag and use this directly for table
output. We prepare the correct setting for discard_passdown directly in
bind_control_target (called from pool_io_hints) and store it in
adjusted_pf rather than waiting until we have access to pool->pf in

The dm thin pool target claims to support the zeroing of discarded
data areas. This turns out to be incorrect when processing discards
that do not exactly cover a complete number of blocks, so the target
must always set discard_zeroes_data_unsupported.
The thin pool target will zero blocks when they are allocated if the
skip_block_zeroing feature is not specified. The block layer
may send a discard that only partly covers a block. If a thin pool
block is partially discarded then there is no guarantee that the
discarded data will get zeroed before it is accessed again.
Due to this, thin devices cannot claim discards will always zero data.

A test that bi_sector is divisible by a block size is removed from

The kernel currently assumes that limits->discard_granularity is a power

When process_discard receives a partial discard that doesn't cover a
full block, it sends this discard down to that block. Unfortunately, the
block can be shared and the discard would corrupt the other snapshots
sharing this block.
This patch detects block sharing and ends the discard with success when
sending it to the shared block.
The above change means that if the device supports discard it can't be
guaranteed that a discard request zeroes data. Therefore, we set
ti->discard_zeroes_data_unsupported.
Thin target discard support with this bug arrived in commit
104655fd4d (dm thin: support discards).

Userland sometimes sees a corrupt metadata block if metadata is changing
rapidly when a metadata snapshot is reserved for userland, To make the
problem go away, commit before we take the metadata snapshot (which is a
sensible thing to do anyway).
The checksums mean userland spots this corruption immediately so there's
no risk of acting on incorrect data. No corruption exists from the
kernel's point of view, and thin_check passes after pool shutdown.
I believe this is to do with shared blocks at the first level of the
{device, mapping} btree. Prior to the metadata-snap support no sharing
at this level was possible, so this patch is only required after commit
cc8394d86f ("dm thin: provide userspace

This patch implements two new messages that can be sent to the thin
pool target allowing it to take a snapshot of the _metadata_. This,
read-only snapshot can be accessed by userland, concurrently with the
live target.
Only one metadata snapshot can be held at a time. The pool's status
line will give the block location for the current msnap.
Since version 0.1.5 of the userland thin provisioning tools, the
thin_dump program displays the msnap as follows:
thin_dump -m <msnap root> <metadata dev>
Available here: https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools
Now that userland can access the metadata we can do various things
that have traditionally been kernel side tasks:
i) Incremental backups.
By using metadata snapshots we can work out what blocks have
changed over time. Combined with data snapshots we can ensure
the data doesn't change while we back it up.
A short proof of concept script can be found here:
https://github.com/jthornber/thinp-test-suite/blob/master/incremental_backup_example.rb
ii) Migration of thin devices from one pool to another.
iii) Merging snapshots back into an external origin.
iv) Asyncronous replication.

When the thin pool target clears the discard_passdown parameter
internally, it incorrectly changes the table line reported to userspace.
This breaks dumb string comparisons on these table lines in generic
userspace device-mapper library code and leads to tables being reloaded
repeatedly when nothing is actually meant to be changing.
This patch corrects this by no longer changing the table line when
discard passdown was disabled.
We can still tell when discard passdown is overridden by looking for the
message "Discard unsupported by data device (sdX): Disabling discard passdown."
This automatic detection is also moved from the 'load' to the 'resume'
so that it is re-evaluated should the properties of underlying devices
change.

The thin metadata format can only make use of a device that is <=
THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS (currently 15.9375 GB). Therefore, there is no
practical benefit to using a larger device.
However, it may be that other factors impose a certain granularity for
the space that is allocated to a device (E.g. lvm2 can impose a coarse
granularity through the use of large, >= 1 GB, physical extents).
Rather than reject a larger metadata device, during thin-pool device
construction, switch to allowing it but issue a warning if a device
larger than THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS_WARNING (16 GB) is
provided. Any space over 15.9375 GB will not be used.

Avoid using the bi_next field for the holder of a cell when deferring
bios because a stacked device below might change it. Store the
holder in a new field in struct cell instead.
When a cell is created, the bio that triggered creation (the holder) was
added to the same bio list as subsequent bios. In some cases we pass
this holder bio directly to devices underneath. If those devices use
the bi_next field there will be trouble...
This also simplifies some code that had to work out which bio was the

Initial EXPERIMENTAL implementation of device-mapper thin provisioning
with snapshot support. The 'thin' target is used to create instances of
the virtual devices that are hosted in the 'thin-pool' target. The
thin-pool target provides data sharing among devices. This sharing is
made possible using the persistent-data library in the previous patch.
The main highlight of this implementation, compared to the previous
implementation of snapshots, is that it allows many virtual devices to
be stored on the same data volume, simplifying administration and
allowing sharing of data between volumes (thus reducing disk usage).
Another big feature is support for arbitrary depth of recursive
snapshots (snapshots of snapshots of snapshots ...). The previous
implementation of snapshots did this by chaining together lookup tables,
and so performance was O(depth). This new implementation uses a single
data structure so we don't get this degradation with depth.
