Linus Torvalds 53ef7d0e20 libnvdimm for 4.12
* Region media error reporting: A libnvdimm region device is the parent
 to one or more namespaces. To date, media errors have been reported via
 the "badblocks" attribute attached to pmem block devices for namespaces
 in "raw" or "memory" mode. Given that namespaces can be in "device-dax"
 or "btt-sector" mode this new interface reports media errors
 generically, i.e. independent of namespace modes or state. This
 subsequently allows userspace tooling to craft "ACPI 6.1 Section
 9.20.7.6 Function Index 4 - Clear Uncorrectable Error" requests and
 submit them via the ioctl path for NVDIMM root bus devices.
 
 * Introduce 'struct dax_device' and 'struct dax_operations': Prompted by
 a request from Linus and feedback from Christoph this allows for dax
 capable drivers to publish their own custom dax operations. This fixes
 the broken assumption that all dax operations are related to a
 persistent memory device, and makes it easier for other architectures
 and platforms to add customized persistent memory support.
 
 * 'libnvdimm' core updates: A new "deep_flush" sysfs attribute is
 available for storage appliance applications to manually trigger memory
 controllers to drain write-pending buffers that would otherwise be
 flushed automatically by the platform ADR (asynchronous-DRAM-refresh)
 mechanism at a power loss event. Support for "locked" DIMMs is included
 to prevent namespaces from surfacing when the namespace label data area
 is locked. Finally, fixes for various reported deadlocks and crashes,
 also tagged for -stable.
 
 * ACPI / nfit driver updates: General updates of the nfit driver to add
 DSM command overrides, ACPI 6.1 health state flags support, DSM payload
 debug available by default, and various fixes.

Mikulas Patocka e2460f2a4b dm: mark targets that pass integrity data
A dm-crypt on dm-integrity device incorrectly advertises an integrity
profile on the DM crypt device.  It can be seen in the files
"/sys/block/dm-*/integrity/*" that both dm-integrity and dm-crypt target
advertise the integrity profile.  That is incorrect, only the
dm-integrity target should advertise the integrity profile.

A general problem in DM is that if we have a DM device that depends on
another device with an integrity profile, the upper device will always
advertise the integrity profile, even when the target driver doesn't
support handling integrity data.

Most targets don't support integrity data, so we provide a whitelist of
targets that support it (linear, delay and striped).  The targets that
support passing integrity data to the lower device are marked with the
flag DM_TARGET_PASSES_INTEGRITY.  The DM core will now advertise
integrity data on a DM device only if all the targets support the
integrity data.

Dan Williams f26c5719b2 dm: add dax_device and dax_operations support
Allocate a dax_device to represent the capacity of a device-mapper
instance. Provide a ->direct_access() method via the new dax_operations
indirection that mirrors the functionality of the current direct_access
support via block_device_operations.  Once fs/dax.c has been converted
to use dax_operations the old dm_blk_direct_access() will be removed.

A new helper dm_dax_get_live_target() is introduced to separate some of
the dm-specifics from the direct_access implementation.

This enabling is only for the top-level dm representation to upper
layers. Converting target direct_access implementations is deferred to a
separate patch.

Christoph Hellwig eb8db831be dm: always defer request allocation to the owner of the request_queue
DM already calls blk_mq_alloc_request on the request_queue of the
underlying device if it is a blk-mq device.  But now that we allow drivers
to allocate additional data and initialize it ahead of time we need to do
the same for all drivers.   Doing so and using the new cmd_size
infrastructure in the block layer greatly simplifies the dm-rq and mpath
code, and should also make arbitrary combinations of SQ and MQ devices
with SQ or MQ device mapper tables easily possible as a further step.

1/ Replace pcommit with ADR / directed-flushing:
    The pcommit instruction, which has not shipped on any product, is
    deprecated. Instead, the requirement is that platforms implement either
    ADR, or provide one or more flush addresses per nvdimm. ADR
    (Asynchronous DRAM Refresh) flushes data in posted write buffers to the
    memory controller on a power-fail event. Flush addresses are defined in
    ACPI 6.x as an NVDIMM Firmware Interface Table (NFIT) sub-structure:
    "Flush Hint Address Structure". A flush hint is an mmio address that
    when written and fenced assures that all previous posted writes
    targeting a given dimm have been flushed to media.
 
 2/ On-demand ARS (address range scrub):
    Linux uses the results of the ACPI ARS commands to track bad blocks
    in pmem devices.  When latent errors are detected we re-scrub the media
    to refresh the bad block list, userspace can also request a re-scrub at
    any time.
 
 3/ Support for the Microsoft DSM (device specific method) command format.
 
 4/ Support for EDK2/OVMF virtual disk device memory ranges.
 
 5/ Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem.

Toshi Kani 545ed20e6d dm: add infrastructure for DAX support
Change mapped device to implement direct_access function,
dm_blk_direct_access(), which calls a target direct_access function.
'struct target_type' is extended to have target direct_access interface.
This function limits direct accessible size to the dm_target's limit
with max_io_len().

Add dm_table_supports_dax() to iterate all targets and associated block
devices to check for DAX support.  To add DAX support to a DM target the
target must only implement the direct_access function.

Add a new dm type, DM_TYPE_DAX_BIO_BASED, which indicates that mapped
device supports DAX and is bio based.  This new type is used to assure
that all target devices have DAX support and remain that way after
QUEUE_FLAG_DAX is set in mapped device.

At initial table load, QUEUE_FLAG_DAX is set to mapped device when setting
DM_TYPE_DAX_BIO_BASED to the type.  Any subsequent table load to the
mapped device must have the same type, or else it fails per the check in
table_load().

Mike Snitzer e83068a5fa dm mpath: add optional "queue_mode" feature
Allow a user to specify an optional feature 'queue_mode <mode>' where
<mode> may be "bio", "rq" or "mq" -- which corresponds to bio-based,
request_fn rq-based, and blk-mq rq-based respectively.

If the queue_mode feature isn't specified the default for the
"multipath" target is still "rq" but if dm_mod.use_blk_mq is set to Y
it'll default to mode "mq".

This new queue_mode feature introduces the ability for each multipath
device to have its own queue_mode (whereas before this feature all
multipath devices effectively had to have the same queue_mode).

This commit also goes a long way to eliminate the awkward (ab)use of
DM_TYPE_*, the associated filter_md_type() and other relatively fragile
and difficult to maintain code.

Mikulas Patocka 09ee96b214 dm snapshot: suspend merging snapshot when doing exception handover
The "dm snapshot: suspend origin when doing exception handover" commit
fixed a exception store handover bug associated with pending exceptions
to the "snapshot-origin" target.

However, a similar problem exists in snapshot merging.  When snapshot
merging is in progress, we use the target "snapshot-merge" instead of
"snapshot-origin".  Consequently, during exception store handover, we
must find the snapshot-merge target and suspend its associated
mapped_device.

To avoid lockdep warnings, the target must be suspended and resumed
without holding _origins_lock.

Introduce a dm_hold() function that grabs a reference on a
mapped_device, but unlike dm_get(), it doesn't crash if the device has
the DMF_FREEING flag set, it returns an error in this case.

In snapshot_resume() we grab the reference to the origin device using
dm_hold() while holding _origins_lock (_origins_lock guarantees that the
device won't disappear).  Then we release _origins_lock, suspend the
device and grab _origins_lock again.

NOTE to stable@ people:
When backporting to kernels 3.18 and older, use dm_internal_suspend and
dm_internal_resume instead of dm_internal_suspend_fast and
dm_internal_resume_fast.

Mike Snitzer e5863d9ad7 dm: allocate requests in target when stacking on blk-mq devices
For blk-mq request-based DM the responsibility of allocating a cloned
request is transfered from DM core to the target type.  Doing so
enables the cloned request to be allocated from the appropriate
blk-mq request_queue's pool (only the DM target, e.g. multipath, can
know which block device to send a given cloned request to).

Care was taken to preserve compatibility with old-style block request
completion that requires request-based DM _not_ acquire the clone
request's queue lock in the completion path.  As such, there are now 2
different request-based DM target_type interfaces:
1) the original .map_rq() interface will continue to be used for
   non-blk-mq devices -- the preallocated clone request is passed in
   from DM core.
2) a new .clone_and_map_rq() and .release_clone_rq() will be used for
   blk-mq devices -- blk_get_request() and blk_put_request() are used
   respectively from these hooks.

dm_table_set_type() was updated to detect if the request-based target is
being stacked on blk-mq devices, if so DM_TYPE_MQ_REQUEST_BASED is set.
DM core disallows switching the DM table's type after it is set.  This
means that there is no mixing of non-blk-mq and blk-mq devices within
the same request-based DM table.

Mike Snitzer f84cb8a46a dm mpath: disable WRITE SAME if it fails
Workaround the SCSI layer's problematic WRITE SAME heuristics by
disabling WRITE SAME in the DM multipath device's queue_limits if an
underlying device disabled it.

The WRITE SAME heuristics, with both the original commit 5db44863b6
("[SCSI] sd: Implement support for WRITE SAME") and the updated commit
66c28f971 ("[SCSI] sd: Update WRITE SAME heuristics"), default to enabling
WRITE SAME(10) even without successfully determining it is supported.
After the first failed WRITE SAME the SCSI layer will disable WRITE SAME
for the device (by setting sdkp->device->no_write_same which results in
'max_write_same_sectors' in device's queue_limits to be set to 0).

When a device is stacked ontop of such a SCSI device any changes to that
SCSI device's queue_limits do not automatically propagate up the stack.
As such, a DM multipath device will not have its WRITE SAME support
disabled.  This causes the block layer to continue to issue WRITE SAME
requests to the mpath device which causes paths to fail and (if mpath IO
isn't configured to queue when no paths are available) it will result in
actual IO errors to the upper layers.

This fix doesn't help configurations that have additional devices
stacked ontop of the mpath device (e.g. LVM created linear DM devices
ontop).  A proper fix that restacks all the queue_limits from the bottom
of the device stack up will need to be explored if SCSI will continue to
use this model of optimistically allowing op codes and then disabling
them after they fail for the first time.

Mikulas Patocka fd2ed4d252 dm: add statistics support
Support the collection of I/O statistics on user-defined regions of
a DM device.  If no regions are defined no statistics are collected so
there isn't any performance impact.  Only bio-based DM devices are
currently supported.

Each user-defined region specifies a starting sector, length and step.
Individual statistics will be collected for each step-sized area within
the range specified.

The I/O statistics counters for each step-sized area of a region are
in the same format as /sys/block/*/stat or /proc/diskstats but extra
counters (12 and 13) are provided: total time spent reading and
writing in milliseconds.  All these counters may be accessed by sending
the @stats_print message to the appropriate DM device via dmsetup.

The creation of DM statistics will allocate memory via kmalloc or
fallback to using vmalloc space.  At most, 1/4 of the overall system
memory may be allocated by DM statistics.  The admin can see how much
memory is used by reading
/sys/module/dm_mod/parameters/stats_current_allocated_bytes

See Documentation/device-mapper/statistics.txt for more details.

Mikulas Patocka 83d5e5b0af dm: optimize use SRCU and RCU
This patch removes "io_lock" and "map_lock" in struct mapped_device and
"holders" in struct dm_table and replaces these mechanisms with
sleepable-rcu.

Previously, the code would call "dm_get_live_table" and "dm_table_put" to
get and release table. Now, the code is changed to call "dm_get_live_table"
and "dm_put_live_table". dm_get_live_table locks sleepable-rcu and
dm_put_live_table unlocks it.

dm_get_live_table_fast/dm_put_live_table_fast can be used instead of
dm_get_live_table/dm_put_live_table. These *_fast functions use
non-sleepable RCU, so the caller must not block between them.

If the code changes active or inactive dm table, it must call
dm_sync_table before destroying the old table.

Mikulas Patocka fd7c092e71 dm: fix truncated status strings
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.

Use sector_div() to process it now that it is not necessarily a power of 2.

Alasdair G Kergon 36a0456fbf dm table: add immutable feature
Introduce DM_TARGET_IMMUTABLE to indicate that the target type cannot be mixed
with any other target type, and once loaded into a device, it cannot be
replaced with a table containing a different type.

The thin provisioning pool device will use this.

Alasdair G Kergon 3791e2fc0e dm table: add singleton feature
Introduce the concept of a singleton table which contains exactly one target.

If a target type sets the DM_TARGET_SINGLETON feature bit device-mapper
will ensure that any table that includes that target contains no others.

The thin provisioning pool target uses this.
