This could've been quite bad (to return success but not update the new
root to point at the old) but in practice the only known consumer of the
dm array code is the DM cache target. And the DM cache target passes in
the same old root to array_resize() anyway.

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

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.

Before this change it was expected that userspace would first suspend
all active thin devices, reload/resize the thin-pool target, then resume
all active thin devices. Now the thin-pool suspend/resume will trigger
the suspend/resume of all active thins via appropriate calls to
dm_internal_suspend and dm_internal_resume.
Store the mapped_device for each thin device in struct thin_c to make
these calls possible.

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).

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(). Similarly, bio_get_nr_vecs() is also bound by
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

Throttle IO based on the time it's taking the worker to do one loop.
There were reports of hung task timeouts occuring and it was observed
that the excessively long avgqu-sz (as reported by iostat) was
contributing to these hung tasks.
Throttling definitely helps dm-thinp perform better under heavy IO load
(without being detremental by being overzealous). It reduces avgqu-sz
drastically, e.g.: from 60K to ~6K, and even as low as 150 once metadata
is cached by bufio, when dirty_ratio=5, dirty_background_ratio=2. And
avgqu-sz stays at or below 30K even with dirty_ratio=20,

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.

The dm-raid superblock (struct dm_raid_superblock) is padded to 512
bytes and that size is being used to read it in from the metadata
device into one preallocated page.
Reading or writing this on a 512-byte sector device works fine but on
a 4096-byte sector device this fails.
Set the dm-raid superblock's size to the logical block size of the
metadata device, because IO at that size is guaranteed too work. Also
add a size check to avoid silent partial metadata loss in case the
superblock should ever grow past the logical block size or PAGE_SIZE.

"This is the block driver pull request for 3.18. Not a lot in there
this round, and nothing earth shattering.
- A round of drbd fixes from the linbit team, and an improvement in
asender performance.
- Removal of deprecated (and unused) IRQF_DISABLED flag in rsxx and
hd from Michael Opdenacker.
- Disable entropy collection from flash devices by default, from Mike
Snitzer.
- A small collection of xen blkfront/back fixes from Roger Pau Monné
and Vitaly Kuznetsov"
* 'for-3.18/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
block: disable entropy contributions for nonrot devices
xen, blkfront: factor out flush-related checks from do_blkif_request()
xen-blkback: fix leak on grant map error path
xen/blkback: unmap all persistent grants when frontend gets disconnected
rsxx: Remove deprecated IRQF_DISABLED

The shrinker uses gfp flags to indicate what kind of operation can the
driver wait for. If __GFP_IO flag is present, the driver can wait for
block I/O operations, if __GFP_FS flag is present, the driver can wait on
operations involving the filesystem.
dm-bufio tested for __GFP_IO. However, dm-bufio can run on a loop block
device that makes calls into the filesystem. If __GFP_IO is present and
__GFP_FS isn't, dm-bufio could still block on filesystem operations if it
runs on a loop block device.
The change from __GFP_IO to __GFP_FS supposedly fixes one observed (though
unreproducible) deadlock involving dm-bufio and loop device.

Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo:
"Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static
and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately
and had their own accessors. The distinction has been gone for many
years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained
with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other
operations over time. During the process, we also accumulated other
inconsistent operations.
This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the
duplicate accessor situation. __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with
with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr().
Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit
messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to
a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of
this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().
This converts most of the uses but not all. Christoph will follow up
with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully
remove the obsolete accessors"

The main 'md' thread is needed for processing writes, so if it blocks
write requests could be delayed.
Starting a new thread requires some GFP_KERNEL allocations and so can
wait for writes to complete. This can deadlock.
So instead, ask a workqueue to start the sync thread.
There is no particular rush for this to happen, so any work queue
will do.
MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING is used to ensure only one thread is started.

In general we don't allow an array to be stopped if it is in use.
However if the array hasn't really been started yet, then any
apparent use is an anomily, probably due to 'udev' or similar
having a look to see what is there.
This means that if something goes wrong while assembling an array
it cannot reliably be un-assembled - STOP_ARRAY could fail.
There is no value here, so change do_md_stop() to succeed
despite concurrent opens if the array has not yet been
activated. i.e. if ->pers is NULL.

If two threads call bitmap_unplug at the same time, then
one might schedule all the writes, and the other might
decide that it doesn't need to wait. But really it does.
It rarely hurts to wait when it isn't absolutely necessary,
and the current code doesn't really focus on 'absolutely necessary'
anyway. So just wait always.
This can potentially lead to data corruption if a crash happens
at an awkward time and data was written before the bitmap was
updated. It is very unlikely, but this should go to -stable
just to be safe. Appropriate for any -stable.

When __scan frees the required number of buffer entries that the

this fix the __scan code exited only the inner loop and continued in the
outer loop -- which could result in reduced performance due to extra
buffers being freed (e.g. unnecessarily evicted thinp metadata needing
to be synchronously re-read into bufio's cache).
Also, move dm_bufio_cond_resched to __scan's inner loop, so that
iterating the bufio client's lru lists doesn't result in scheduling

The 'last_accessed' member of the dm_buffer structure was only set when
the the buffer was created. This led to each buffer being discarded
after dm_bufio_max_age time even if it was used recently. In practice
this resulted in all thinp metadata being evicted soon after being read
-- this is particularly problematic for metadata intensive workloads
like multithreaded small random IO.
'last_accessed' is now updated each time the buffer is moved to the head
of the LRU list, so the buffer is now properly discarded if it was not
used in dm_bufio_max_age time.

Until this change, when loading a new DM table, DM core would re-open
all of the devices in the DM table. Now, DM core will avoid redundant
device opens (and closes when destroying the old table) if the old
table already has a device open using the same mode. This is achieved
by managing reference counts on the table_devices that DM core now
stores in the mapped_device structure (rather than in the dm_table
structure). So a mapped_device's active and inactive dm_tables' dm_dev
lists now just point to the dm_devs stored in the mapped_device's
table_devices list.
This improvement in DM core's device reference counting has the
side-effect of fixing a long-standing limitation of the multipath
target: a DM multipath table couldn't include any paths that were unusable
(failed). For example: if all paths have failed and you add a new,
working, path to the table; you can't use it since the table load would
fail due to it still containing failed paths. Now a re-load of a
multipath table can include failed devices and when those devices become
active again they can be used instantly.
The device list code in dm.c isn't a straight copy/paste from the code in
dm-table.c, but it's very close (aside from some variable renames). One
subtle difference is that find_table_device for the tables_devices list
will only match devices with the same name and mode. This is because we
don't want to upgrade a device's mode in the active table when an
inactive table is loaded.
Access to the mapped_device structure's tables_devices list requires a
mutex (tables_devices_lock), so that tables cannot be created and
destroyed concurrently.

Since DM core uses bio_clone_fast() for both bio-based and request-based
DM devices there is no need for DM's bioset to have a bvec mempool.
With this patch, on arch with 4KB page for example, memory usage will be
reduced by 64KB for each bio-based DM device and 1MB for each
request-based DM device.
For example, when you create 10,000 bio-based DM devices and 1,000
request-based DM devices, memory usage of biovec under no load is:
# grep biovec /proc/slabinfo
biovec-256 418068 418068 4096 ...
biovec-128 0 0 2048 ...
biovec-64 0 0 1024 ...
biovec-16 0 0 256 ...
With this patch series applied, the usage becomes:
# grep biovec /proc/slabinfo
biovec-256 116 116 4096 ...
biovec-128 0 0 2048 ...
biovec-64 0 0 1024 ...
biovec-16 0 0 256 ...
So 4096 * (418068 - 116) = 1.6GB of memory is saved in this example.

alloc_tio() uses bio_alloc_bioset() to allocate a clone-bio for a bio.
alloc_tio() takes the number of bvecs to allocate for the clone-bio.
However, with v3.14's immutable biovec changes DM now uses
__bio_clone_fast() and no longer needs to allocate bvecs.
In practice, the 'nr_iovecs' passed to alloc_tio() is always effectively
0. __clone_and_map_simple_bio() looked like it was passing non-zero
nr_iovecs, but its value was always within the range of inline bvecs and
no allocation actually happened. If allocation happened, the BUG_ON() in
__bio_clone_fast() would've triggered.
Remove the nr_iovecs parameter from alloc_tio() to prevent possible
future bio_alloc_bioset() mis-use of a new bioset interface that will no
longer allow bvecs to be allocated.
Also fix extra whitespace before the __bio_clone_fast() call in

Clear QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM in all block drivers that set
QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT.
Historically, all block devices have automatically made entropy
contributions. But as previously stated in commit e2e1a148 ("block: add
sysfs knob for turning off disk entropy contributions"):
- On SSD disks, the completion times aren't as random as they
are for rotational drives. So it's questionable whether they
should contribute to the random pool in the first place.
- Calling add_disk_randomness() has a lot of overhead.
There are more reliable sources for randomness than non-rotational block
devices. From a security perspective it is better to err on the side of
caution than to allow entropy contributions from unreliable "random"
sources.

It has come to my attention (thanks Martin) that 'discard_zeroes_data'
is only a hint. Some devices in some cases don't do what it
says on the label.
The use of DISCARD in RAID5 depends on reads from discarded regions
being predictably zero. If a write to a previously discarded region
performs a read-modify-write cycle it assumes that the parity block
was consistent with the data blocks. If all were zero, this would
be the case. If some are and some aren't this would not be the case.
This could lead to data corruption after a device failure when
data needs to be reconstructed from the parity.
As we cannot trust 'discard_zeroes_data', ignore it by default
and so disallow DISCARD on all raid4/5/6 arrays.
As many devices are trustworthy, and as there are benefits to using
DISCARD, add a module parameter to over-ride this caution and cause
DISCARD to work if discard_zeroes_data is set.
If a site want to enable DISCARD on some arrays but not on others they
should select DISCARD support at the filesystem level, and set the
raid456 module parameter.
raid456.devices_handle_discard_safely=Y
As this is a data-safety issue, I believe this patch is suitable for
-stable.
DISCARD support for RAID456 was added in 3.7

Both normal IO and resync IO can be retried with reschedule_retry()
and so be counted into ->nr_queued, but only normal IO gets counted in
->nr_pending.
Before the recent improvement to RAID1 resync there could only
possibly have been one or the other on the queue. When handling a
read failure it could only be normal IO. So when handle_read_error()
called freeze_array() the fact that freeze_array only compares
->nr_queued against ->nr_pending was safe.
But now that these two types can interleave, we can have both normal
and resync IO requests queued, so we need to count them both in
nr_pending.
This error can lead to freeze_array() hanging if there is a read
error, so it is suitable for -stable.

raise_barrier() uses next_resync as part of its calculations, so it
really should be updated first, instead of afterwards.
next_resync is always used under resync_lock so update it under
resync lock to, just before it is used. That is safest.
This could cause normal IO and resync IO to interact badly so
it suitable for -stable.

next_resync is (approximately) the location for the next resync request.
However it does *not* reliably determine the earliest location
at which resync might be happening.
This is because resync requests can complete out of order, and
we only limit the number of current requests, not the distance
from the earliest pending request to the latest.
mddev->curr_resync_completed is a reliable indicator of the earliest
position at which resync could be happening. It is updated less
frequently, but is actually reliable which is more important.
So use it to determine if a write request is before the region
being resynced and so safe from conflict.
This error can allow resync IO to interfere with normal IO which
could lead to data corruption. Hence: stable.

The resync/recovery process for raid1 was recently changed
so that writes could happen in parallel with resync providing
they were in different regions of the device.
There is a problem though: While a write request will always
wait for conflicting resync to complete, a resync request
will *not* always wait for conflicting writes to complete.
Two changes are needed to fix this:
1/ raise_barrier (which waits until it is safe to do resync)
must wait until current_window_requests is zero
2/ wait_battier (which waits at the start of a new write request)
must update current_window_requests if the request could
possible conflict with a concurrent resync.
As concurrent writes and resync can lead to data loss,
this patch is suitable for -stable.

If there are outstanding writes when close_sync is called,
the change to ->start_next_window might cause them to

commit 79ef3a8aa1 made
it possible for reads to happen concurrently with resync.
This means that we need to be more careful where read_balancing
is allowed during resync - we can no longer be sure that any
resync that has already started will definitely finish.
So keep read_balancing to before recovery_cp, which is conservative
but safe.
This bug makes it possible to read from a device that doesn't
have up-to-date data, so it can cause data corruption.
So it is suitable for any kernel since 3.11.

When a writeback or a promotion of a block is completed, the cell of
that block is removed from the prison, the block is marked as clean, and
the clear_dirty() callback of the cache policy is called.
Unfortunately, performing those actions in this order allows an incoming
new write bio for that block to come in before clearing the dirty status
is completed and therefore possibly causing one of these two scenarios:
Scenario A:
Thread 1 Thread 2
cell_defer() .
- cell removed from prison .
- detained bios queued .
. incoming write bio
. remapped to cache
. set_dirty() called,
. but block already dirty
. => it does nothing
clear_dirty() .
- block marked clean .
- policy clear_dirty() called .
Result: Block is marked clean even though it is actually dirty. No
writeback will occur.
Scenario B:
Thread 1 Thread 2
cell_defer() .
- cell removed from prison .
- detained bios queued .
clear_dirty() .
- block marked clean .
. incoming write bio
. remapped to cache
. set_dirty() called
. - block marked dirty
. - policy set_dirty() called
- policy clear_dirty() called .
Result: Block is properly marked as dirty, but policy thinks it is clean
and therefore never asks us to writeback it.
This case is visible in "dmsetup status" dirty block count (which
normally decreases to 0 on a quiet device).
Fix these issues by calling clear_dirty() before calling cell_defer().
Incoming bios for that block will then be detained in the cell and
released only after clear_dirty() has completed, so the race will not
occur.
Found by inspecting the code after noticing spurious dirty counts
(scenario B).

The DM crypt target accesses memory beyond allocated space resulting in
a crash on 32 bit x86 systems.
This bug is very old (it dates back to 2.6.25 commit 3a7f6c990a "dm
crypt: use async crypto"). However, this bug was masked by the fact
that kmalloc rounds the size up to the next power of two. This bug
wasn't exposed until 3.17-rc1 commit 298a9fa08a ("dm crypt: use per-bio
data"). By switching to using per-bio data there was no longer any
padding beyond the end of a dm-crypt allocated memory block.
To minimize allocation overhead dm-crypt puts several structures into one
block allocated with kmalloc. The block holds struct ablkcipher_request,
cipher-specific scratch pad (crypto_ablkcipher_reqsize(any_tfm(cc))),
struct dm_crypt_request and an initialization vector.
The variable dmreq_start is set to offset of struct dm_crypt_request
within this memory block. dm-crypt allocates the block with this size:
cc->dmreq_start + sizeof(struct dm_crypt_request) + cc->iv_size.
When accessing the initialization vector, dm-crypt uses the function
iv_of_dmreq, which performs this calculation: ALIGN((unsigned long)(dmreq
+ 1), crypto_ablkcipher_alignmask(any_tfm(cc)) + 1).
dm-crypt allocated "cc->iv_size" bytes beyond the end of dm_crypt_request
structure. However, when dm-crypt accesses the initialization vector, it
takes a pointer to the end of dm_crypt_request, aligns it, and then uses
it as the initialization vector. If the end of dm_crypt_request is not
aligned on a crypto_ablkcipher_alignmask(any_tfm(cc)) boundary the
alignment causes the initialization vector to point beyond the allocated
space.
Fix this bug by calculating the variable iv_size_padding and adding it
to the allocated size.
Also correct the alignment of dm_crypt_request. struct dm_crypt_request
is specific to dm-crypt (it isn't used by the crypto subsystem at all),
so it is aligned on __alignof__(struct dm_crypt_request).
Also align per_bio_data_size on ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN, so that it is
aligned as if the block was allocated with kmalloc.

Most places which allocate an r10_bio zero the ->state, some don't.
As the r10_bio comes from a mempool, and the allocation function uses
kzalloc it is often zero anyway. But sometimes it isn't and it is
best to be safe.
I only noticed this because of the bug fixed by an earlier patch
where the r10_bios allocated for a reshape were left around to
be used by a subsequent resync. In that case the R10BIO_IsReshape
flag caused problems.

When a raid10 commences a resync/recovery/reshape it allocates
some buffer space.
When a resync/recovery completes the buffer space is freed. But not
when the reshape completes.
This can result in a small memory leak.
There is a subtle side-effect of this bug. When a RAID10 is reshaped
to a larger array (more devices), the reshape is immediately followed
by a "resync" of the new space. This "resync" will use the buffer
space which was allocated for "reshape". This can cause problems
including a "BUG" in the SCSI layer. So this is suitable for -stable.

a method which, while clumsy, worked until 3.10 when BIO_OWNS_VEC

Since then it clears that bit but shouldn't. This results in a
memory leak.
So change to used the approved method of clearing unwanted bits.
As this causes a memory leak which can consume all of memory

During recovery of a double-degraded RAID6 it is possible for
some blocks not to be recovered properly, leading to corruption.
If a write happens to one block in a stripe that would be written to a
missing device, and at the same time that stripe is recovering data
to the other missing device, then that recovered data may not be written.
This patch skips, in the double-degraded case, an optimisation that is
only safe for single-degraded arrays.
Bug was introduced in 2.6.32 and fix is suitable for any kernel since
then. In an older kernel with separate handle_stripe5() and
handle_stripe6() functions the patch must change handle_stripe6().

If a stripe in a raid6 array received a write to each data block while
the array is degraded, and if any of these writes to a missing device
are not page-aligned, then a live-lock happens.
In this case the P and Q blocks need to be read so that the part of
the missing block which is *not* being updated by the write can be
constructed. Due to a logic error, these blocks are not loaded, so
the update cannot proceed and the stripe is 'handled' repeatedly in an
infinite loop.
This bug is unlikely as most writes are page aligned. However as it
can lead to a livelock it is suitable for -stable. It was introduced
in 3.16.

Commit 05f1dd5 ("block: add queue flag for disabling SG merging")
introduced a new queue flag: QUEUE_FLAG_NO_SG_MERGE. This gets set by
default in blk_mq_init_queue for mq-enabled devices. The effect of
the flag is to bypass the SG segment merging. Instead, the
bio->bi_vcnt is used as the number of hardware segments.
With a device mapper target on top of a device with
QUEUE_FLAG_NO_SG_MERGE set, we can end up sending down more segments
than a driver is prepared to handle. I ran into this when backporting
the virtio_blk mq support. It triggerred this BUG_ON, in
virtio_queue_rq:
BUG_ON(req->nr_phys_segments + 2 > vblk->sg_elems);
The queue's max is set here:
blk_queue_max_segments(q, vblk->sg_elems-2);
Basically, what happens is that a bio is built up for the dm device
(which does not have the QUEUE_FLAG_NO_SG_MERGE flag set) using
bio_add_page. That path will call into __blk_recalc_rq_segments, so
what you end up with is bi_phys_segments being much smaller than bi_vcnt
(and bi_vcnt grows beyond the maximum sg elements). Then, when the bio
is submitted, it gets cloned. When the cloned bio is submitted, it will
end up in blk_recount_segments, here:
if (test_bit(QUEUE_FLAG_NO_SG_MERGE, &q->queue_flags))
bio->bi_phys_segments = bio->bi_vcnt;
and now we've set bio->bi_phys_segments to a number that is beyond what
was registered as queue_max_segments by the driver.
The right way to fix this is to propagate the queue flag up the stack.
The rules for propagating the flag are simple:
- if the flag is set for any underlying device, it must be set for the
upper device
- consequently, if the flag is not set for any underlying device, it
should not be set for the upper device.

Add support for quickly loading a repetitive pattern into the
dm-switch target.
In the "set_regions_mappings" message, the user may now use "Rn,m" as
one of the arguments. "n" and "m" are hexadecimal numbers. The "Rn,m"
argument repeats the last "n" arguments in the following "m" slots.
For example:
dmsetup message switch 0 set_region_mappings 1000:1 :2 R2,10

Change dm-crypt so that it uses auxiliary data allocated with the bio.
Dm-crypt requires two allocations per request - struct dm_crypt_io and
struct ablkcipher_request (with other data appended to it). It
previously only used mempool allocations.
Some requests may require more dm_crypt_ios and ablkcipher_requests,
however most requests need just one of each of these two structures to
complete.
This patch changes it so that the first dm_crypt_io and ablkcipher_request
are allocated with the bio (using target per_bio_data_size option). If
the request needs additional values, they are allocated from the mempool.

1d3d4437ea ("vmscan: per-node deferred work") added a flags field to
struct shrinker assuming that all shrinkers were zero filled. The dm
bufio shrinker is not zero filled, which leaves arbitrary kmalloc() data
in flags. So far the only defined flags bit is SHRINKER_NUMA_AWARE.
But there are proposed patches which add other bits to shrinker.flags
(e.g. memcg awareness).
Rather than simply initializing the shrinker, this patch uses kzalloc()
when allocating the dm_bufio_client to ensure that the embedded shrinker
and any other similar structures are zeroed.
This fixes theoretical over aggressive shrinking of dm bufio objects.
If the uninitialized dm_bufio_client.shrinker.flags contains
SHRINKER_NUMA_AWARE then shrink_slab() would call the dm shrinker for
each numa node rather than just once. This has been broken since 3.12.

The way md devices are traditionally created in the kernel
is simply to open the device with the desired major/minor number.
This can be problematic as some support tools, notably udev and
programs run by udev, can open a device just to see what is there, and
find that it has created something. It is easy for a race to cause
udev to open an md device just after it was destroy, causing it to
suddenly re-appear.
For some time we have had an alternate way to create md devices
echo md_somename > /sys/modules/md_mod/paramaters/new_array
This will always use a minor number of 512 or higher, which mdadm
normally avoids.
Using this makes the creation-by-opening unnecessary, but does
not disable it, so it is still there to cause problems.
This patch disable probing for devices with a major of 9 (MD_MAJOR)
and a minor of 512 and up. This devices created by writing to
new_array cannot be re-created by opening the node in /dev.

Currently we don't abort recovery on a write error if the write error
to the recovering device was triggerd by normal IO (as opposed to
recovery IO).
This means that for one bitmap region, the recovery might write to the
recovering device for a few sectors, then not bother for subsequent
sectors (as it never writes to failed devices). In this case
the bitmap bit will be cleared, but it really shouldn't.
The result is that if the recovering device fails and is then re-added
(after fixing whatever hardware problem triggerred the failure),
the second recovery won't redo the region it was in the middle of,
so some of the device will not be recovered properly.
If we abort the recovery, the region being processes will be cancelled
(bit not cleared) and the whole region will be retried.
As the bug can result in data corruption the patch is suitable for
-stable. For kernels prior to 3.11 there is a conflict in raid10.c
which will require care.

"Fix the dm-thinp and dm-cache targets to disallow changing the data

* tag 'dm-3.16-fixes-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm:
dm cache metadata: do not allow the data block size to change
dm thin metadata: do not allow the data block size to change
The current "wait_on_bit" interface requires an 'action'
function to be provided which does the actual waiting.
There are over 20 such functions, many of them identical.
Most cases can be satisfied by one of just two functions, one
which uses io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule().
So:
Rename wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock to
wait_on_bit_action and wait_on_bit_lock_action
to make it explicit that they need an action function.
Introduce new wait_on_bit{,_lock} and wait_on_bit{,_lock}_io
which are *not* given an action function but implicitly use
a standard one.
The decision to error-out if a signal is pending is now made
based on the 'mode' argument rather than being encoded in the action
function.
All instances of the old wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock which
can use the new version have been changed accordingly and their
action functions have been discarded.
wait_on_bit{_lock} does not return any specific error code in the
event of a signal so the caller must check for non-zero and
interpolate their own error code as appropriate.
The wait_on_bit() call in __fscache_wait_on_invalidate() was
ambiguous as it specified TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE but used
fscache_wait_bit_interruptible as an action function.
David Howells confirms this should be uniformly
"uninterruptible"
The main remaining user of wait_on_bit{,_lock}_action is NFS
which needs to use a freezer-aware schedule() call.
A comment in fs/gfs2/glock.c notes that having multiple 'action'
functions is useful as they display differently in the 'wchan'
field of 'ps'. (and /proc/$PID/wchan).
As the new bit_wait{,_io} functions are tagged "__sched", they
will not show up at all, but something higher in the stack. So
the distinction will still be visible, only with different
function names (gds2_glock_wait versus gfs2_glock_dq_wait in the
gfs2/glock.c case).
Since first version of this patch (against 3.15) two new action
functions appeared, on in NFS and one in CIFS. CIFS also now
uses an action function that makes the same freezer aware
schedule call as NFS.

dm crypt, dm zero: update author name following legal name change
dm: allocate a special workqueue for deferred device removal
Commit e80991773 ("dm mpath: push back requests instead of queueing")
modified multipath_busy() to return true if !pg_ready(). pg_ready()
checks the current state of the multipath device and may return false
even if a new IO is needed to change the state.
Bart Van Assche reported that he had multipath IO lockup when he was
performing cable pull tests. Analysis showed that the multipath
device had a single path group with both paths active, but that the
path group itself was not active. During the multipath device state
transitions 'queue_io' got set but nothing could clear it. Clearing
'queue_io' only happens in __choose_pgpath(), but it won't be called
if multipath_busy() returns true due to pg_ready() returning false
when 'queue_io' is set.
As such the !pg_ready() check in multipath_busy() is wrong because new
IO will not be sent to multipath target and the multipath state change
won't happen. That results in multipath IO lockup.
The intent of multipath_busy() is to avoid unnecessary cycles of
dequeue + request_fn + requeue if it is known that the multipath
device will requeue.
Such "busy" situations would be:
- path group is being activated
- there is no path and the multipath is setup to requeue if no path
Fix multipath_busy() to return "busy" early only for these specific
situations.

The commit 2c140a246d ("dm: allow remove to be deferred") introduced a
deferred removal feature for the device mapper. When this feature is
used (by passing a flag DM_DEFERRED_REMOVE to DM_DEV_REMOVE_CMD ioctl)
and the user tries to remove a device that is currently in use, the
device will be removed automatically in the future when the last user
closes it.
Device mapper used the system workqueue to perform deferred removals.
However, some targets (dm-raid1, dm-mpath, dm-stripe) flush work items
scheduled for the system workqueue from their destructor. If the
destructor itself is called from the system workqueue during deferred
removal, it introduces a possible deadlock - the workqueue tries to flush
itself.
Fix this possible deadlock by introducing a new workqueue for deferred
removals. We allocate just one workqueue for all dm targets. The
ability of dm targets to process IOs isn't dependent on deferred removal
of unused targets, so a deadlock due to shared workqueue isn't possible.
Also, cleanup local_init() to eliminate potential for returning success
on failure.

When we write to a degraded array which has a bitmap, we
make sure the relevant bit in the bitmap remains set when
the write completes (so a 're-add' can quickly rebuilt a
temporarily-missing device).
If, immediately after such a write starts, we incorporate a spare,
commence recovery, and skip over the region where the write is
happening (because the 'needs recovery' flag isn't set yet),
then that write will not get to the new device.
Once the recovery finishes the new device will be trusted, but will
have incorrect data, leading to possible corruption.
We cannot set the 'needs recovery' flag when we start the write as we
do not know easily if the write will be "degraded" or not. That
depends on details of the particular raid level and particular write
request.
This patch fixes a corruption issue of long standing and so it
suitable for any -stable kernel. It applied correctly to 3.0 at
least and will minor editing to earlier kernels.

raid5: speedup sync_request processing
md/raid5: deadlock between retry_aligned_read with barrier io
raid5: add an option to avoid copy data from bio to stripe cache
md/bitmap: remove confusing code from filemap_get_page.
raid5: avoid release list until last reference of the stripe
md: md_clear_badblocks should return an error code on failure.
md/raid56: Don't perform reads to support writes until stripe is ready.
md: refuse to change shape of array if it is active but read-only
The raid5 sync_request() processing calls handle_stripe() within the context of
the resync-thread. The resync-thread issues the first set of read requests
and this adds execution latency and slows down the scheduling of the next
sync_request().
The current rebuild/resync speed of raid5 is not much faster than what
rotational HDDs can sustain.
Testing the following patch on a 6-drive array, I can increase the rebuild
speed from 100 MB/s to 175 MB/s.
The sync_request() now just sets STRIPE_HANDLE and releases the stripe. This
creates some more parallelism between the resync-thread and raid5 kernel daemon.

A chunk aligned read increases counter active_aligned_reads and
decreases it after sub-device handle it successfully. But when a read
error occurs, the read redispatched by raid5d, and the
active_aligned_reads will not be decreased until we can grab a stripe
head in retry_aligned_read. Now suppose, a barrier io comes, set
conf->quiesce to 2, and wait until both active_stripes and
active_aligned_reads are zero. The retried chunk aligned read gets
stuck at get_active_stripe waiting until conf->quiesce becomes 0.
Retry_aligned_read and barrier io are waiting each other now.
One possible solution is that we ignore conf->quiesce, let the retried
aligned read finish. I reproduced this deadlock and test this patch on
centos6.0

Add DM core support for disabling WRITE SAME on first failure to both
request-based and bio-based targets. The need to disable WRITE SAME
stems from SCSI enabling it by default but then disabling it when it
fails. When SCSI does this it returns "permanent target failure, do
not retry" using -EREMOTEIO. Update DM core to only disable WRITE SAME
on failure if the returned error is -EREMOTEIO.
Commit f84cb8a4 ("dm mpath: disable WRITE SAME if it fails")
implemented multipath specific disabling of WRITE SAME if it fails.
However, as that commit detailed, the multipath-only solution doesn't go
far enough if bio-based DM targets are stacked ontop of the
request-based dm-multipath target (as is commonly done using dm-linear
to support partitions on multipath devices, via kpartx).

progressing nicely and will hopefully be in 3.17. A nvme port is in

All from Christoph.
- API and code cleanups for blk-mq from Christoph.
- Lots of good corner case and error handling cleanup fixes for
blk-mq from Ming Lei.
- A flew of blk-mq updates from me:
* Provide strict mappings so that the driver can rely on the CPU
to queue mapping. This enables optimizations in the driver.
* Provided a bitmap tagging instead of percpu_ida, which never
really worked well for blk-mq. percpu_ida relies on the fact
that we have a lot more tags available than we really need, it
fails miserably for cases where we exhaust (or are close to
exhausting) the tag space.
* Provide sane support for shared tag maps, as utilized by scsi-mq
* Various fixes for IO timeouts.
* API cleanups, and lots of perf tweaks and optimizations.
- Remove 'buffer' from struct request. This is ancient code, from
when requests were always virtually mapped. Kill it, to reclaim
some space in struct request. From me.
- Remove 'magic' from blk_plug. Since we store these on the stack
and since we've never caught any actual bugs with this, lets just
get rid of it. From me.
- Only call part_in_flight() once for IO completion, as includes two
atomic reads. Hopefully we'll get a better implementation soon, as
the part IO stats are now one of the more expensive parts of doing
IO on blk-mq. From me.
- File migration of block code from {mm,fs}/ to block/. This
includes bio.c, bio-integrity.c, bounce.c, and ioprio.c. From me,
from a discussion on lkml.

The stripe cache has two goals:
1. cache data, so next time if data can be found in stripe cache, disk access
can be avoided.
2. stable data. data is copied from bio to stripe cache and calculated parity.
data written to disk is from stripe cache, so if upper layer changes bio data,
data written to disk isn't impacted.
In my environment, I can guarantee 2 will not happen. And BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES
can guarantee 2 too. For 1, it's not common too. block plug mechanism will
dispatch a bunch of sequentail small requests together. And since I'm using
SSD, I'm using small chunk size. It's rare case stripe cache is really useful.
So I'd like to avoid the copy from bio to stripe cache and it's very helpful
for performance. In my 1M randwrite tests, avoid the copy can increase the
performance more than 30%.
Of course, this shouldn't be enabled by default. It's reported enabling
BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES can harm some workloads before, so I added an option to
control it.

The (lockless) release_list reduces lock contention, but there is excessive
queueing and dequeuing of stripes on this list. A stripe will currently be
queued on the release_list with a stripe reference count > 1. This can cause
the raid5 kernel thread(s) to dequeue the stripe and decrement the refcount
without doing any other useful processing of the stripe. The are two cases
when the stripe can be put on the release_list multiple times before it is
actually handled by the kernel thread(s).
1) make_request() activates the stripe processing in 4k increments. When a
write request is large enough to span multiple chunks of a stripe_head, the
first 4k chunk adds the stripe to the plug list. The next 4k chunk that is
processed for the same stripe puts the stripe on the release_list with a
refcount=2. This can cause the kernel thread to process and decrement the
stripe before the stripe us unplugged, which again will put it back on the
release_list.
2) Whenever IO is scheduled on a stripe (pre-read and/or write), the stripe
refcount is set to the number of active IO (for each chunk). The stripe is
released as each IO complete, and can be queued and dequeued multiple times
on the release_list, until its refcount finally reached zero.
This simple patch will ensure a stripe is only queued on the release_list when
its refcount=1 and is ready to be handled by the kernel thread(s). I added some
instrumentation to raid5 and counted the number of times striped were queued on
the release_list for a variety of write IO sizes. Without this patch the number
of times stripes got queued on the release_list was 100-500% higher than with
the patch. The excess queuing will increase with the IO size. The patch also
improved throughput by 5-10%.

If it is found that we need to pre-read some blocks before a write
can succeed, we normally set STRIPE_DELAYED and don't actually perform
the read until STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE subsequently gets set.
However for a degraded RAID6 we currently perform the reads as soon
as we see that a write is pending. This significantly hurts
throughput.
So:
- when handle_stripe_dirtying find a block that it wants on a device
that is failed, set STRIPE_DELAY, instead of doing nothing, and
- when fetch_block detects that a read might be required to satisfy a
write, only perform the read if STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE is set,
and if we would actually need to read something to complete the write.
This also helps RAID5, though less often as RAID5 supports a
read-modify-write cycle. For RAID5 the read is performed too early
only if the write is not a full 4K aligned write (i.e. no an
R5_OVERWRITE).
Also clean up a couple of horrible bits of formatting.

md: fix problem when adding device to read-only array with bitmap.
added a called to md_reap_sync_thread() which cause a reshape thread
to be interrupted (in particular, it could cause md_thread() to never even
call md_do_sync()).
However it didn't set MD_RECOVERY_INTR so ->finish_reshape() would not
know that the reshape didn't complete.
This only happens when mddev->ro is set and normally reshape threads
don't run in that situation. But raid5 and raid10 can start a reshape
thread during "run" is the array is in the middle of a reshape.
They do this even if ->ro is set.
So it is best to set MD_RECOVERY_INTR before abortingg the
sync thread, just in case.
Though it rare for this to trigger a problem it can cause data corruption
because the reshape isn't finished properly.
So it is suitable for any stable which the offending commit was applied to.

If mddev->ro is set, md_to_sync will (correctly) abort.
However in that case MD_RECOVERY_INTR isn't set.
If a RESHAPE had been requested, then ->finish_reshape() will be
called and it will think the reshape was successful even though
nothing happened.
Normally a resync will not be requested if ->ro is set, but if an
array is stopped while a reshape is on-going, then when the array is
started, the reshape will be restarted. If the array is also set
read-only at this point, the reshape will instantly appear to success,
resulting in data corruption.
Consequently, this patch is suitable for any -stable kernel.

If the pool runs out of data space, dm-thin can be configured to
either error IOs that would trigger provisioning, or hold those IOs
until the pool is resized. Unfortunately, holding IOs until the pool is
resized can result in a cascade of tasks hitting the hung_task_timeout,
which may render the system unavailable.
Add a fixed timeout so IOs can only be held for a maximum of 60 seconds.
If LVM is going to resize a thin-pool that is out of data space it needs
to be prompt about it.

Commit 3e1a0699 ("dm thin: fix out of data space handling") introduced
a regression in the metadata commit() method by returning an error if
the pool is in PM_OUT_OF_DATA_SPACE mode. This oversight caused a thin
device to return errors even if the default queue_if_no_space ENOSPC
handling mode is used.
Fix commit() to only fail if pool is in PM_READ_ONLY or PM_FAIL mode.

The DM crypt target used per-cpu structures to hold pointers to a
ablkcipher_request structure. The code assumed that the work item keeps
executing on a single CPU, so it didn't use synchronization when
accessing this structure.
If a CPU is disabled by writing 0 to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/online,
the work item could be moved to another CPU. This causes dm-crypt
crashes, like the following, because the code starts using an incorrect
ablkcipher_request:
smpboot: CPU 7 is now offline
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000130

Fix this bug by removing the per-cpu definition. The structure
ablkcipher_request is accessed via a pointer from convert_context.
Consequently, if the work item is rescheduled to a different CPU, the
thread still uses the same ablkcipher_request.
This change may undermine performance improvements intended by commit
c0297721 ("dm crypt: scale to multiple cpus") on select hardware. In
practice no performance difference was observed on recent hardware. But
regardless, correctness is more important than performance.

If an md array with externally managed metadata (e.g. DDF or IMSM)

1/ this is ineffective: user-space need to be involved in any 'safemode' handling,
2/ The safemode management code doesn't cope with safemode==2 on external metadata
and md_check_recover enters an infinite loop.

function only needs to calculate the hash from part of the biovec (up to
the calculated "todo" value).

need hold the lock actually, since we just increase its count. And this is the

In NUMA machine, prepare_to_wait/finish_wait in make_request exposes a
lot of contention for sequential workload (or big request size
workload). For such workload, each bio includes several stripes. So we
can just do prepare_to_wait/finish_wait once for the whold bio instead
of every stripe. This reduces the lock contention completely for such
workload. Random workload might have the similar lock contention too,
but I didn't see it yet, maybe because my stroage is still not fast

If md-mod is unloaded while some process is in poll() or select(),
then that process maintains a pointer to md_event_waiters, and when
the try to unlink from that list, they will oops.
The procfs infrastructure ensures that ->poll won't be called after
remove_proc_entry, but doesn't provide a wait_queue_head for us to
use, and the waitqueue code doesn't provide a way to remove all
listeners from a waitqueue.
So we need to:
1/ make sure no further references to md_event_waiters are taken (by
setting md_unloading)
2/ wake up all processes currently waiting, and
3/ wait until all those processes have disconnected from our
wait_queue_head.

When performing a user-request check/repair (MD_RECOVERY_REQUEST is set)
on a raid1, we allocate multiple bios each with their own set of pages.
If the page allocations for one bio fails, we currently do *not* free
the pages allocated for the previous bios, nor do we free the bio itself.
This patch frees all the already-allocate pages, and makes sure that
all the bios are freed as well.

So discard that - root should be allowed to shoot self in foot.
Still use it in a much less intrusive way to stop the same file being
used as bitmap on two different array, and apply other checks to
ensure the file is at least vaguely usable for bitmap storage

Commit c140e1c4e2 ("dm thin: use per thin device deferred bio lists")
introduced the use of an rculist for all active thin devices. The use
of rcu_read_lock() in process_deferred_bios() can result in a BUG if a
dm_bio_prison_cell must be allocated as a side-effect of bio_detain():
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/mempool.c:203
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 6, name: kworker/u8:0
3 locks held by kworker/u8:0/6:
#0: ("dm-" "thin"){.+.+..}, at: [<ffffffff8106be42>] process_one_work+0x192/0x550
#1: ((&pool->worker)){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff8106be42>] process_one_work+0x192/0x550
#2: (rcu_read_lock){.+.+..}, at: [<ffffffff816360b5>] do_worker+0x5/0x4d0
We can't process deferred bios with the rcu lock held, since
dm_bio_prison_cell allocation may block if the bio-prison's cell mempool
is exhausted.
To fix:
- Introduce a refcount and completion field to each thin_c
- Add thin_get/put methods for adjusting the refcount. If the refcount
hits zero then the completion is triggered.
- Initialise refcount to 1 when creating thin_c
- When iterating the active_thins list we thin_get() whilst the rcu
lock is held.
- After the rcu lock is dropped we process the deferred bios for that
thin.
- When destroying a thin_c we thin_put() and then wait for the
completion -- to avoid a race between the worker thread iterating
from that thin_c and destroying the thin_c.

When suspending a cache the policy is walked and the individual policy
hints written to the metadata via sync_metadata(). This led to this
lock order:
policy->lock
cache_metadata->root_lock
When loading the cache target the policy is populated while the metadata
lock is held:
cache_metadata->root_lock
policy->lock
Fix this potential lock-inversion (ABBA) deadlock in sync_metadata() by
ensuring the cache_metadata root_lock is held whilst all the hints are
written, rather than being repeatedly locked while policy->lock is held
(as was the case with each callout that policy_walk_mappings() made to
the old save_hint() method).
Found by turning on the CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING ("Lock debugging: prove
locking correctness") build option. However, it is not clear how the
LOCKDEP reported paths can lead to a deadlock since the two paths,
suspending a target and loading a target, never occur at the same time.
But that doesn't mean the same lock-inversion couldn't have occurred
elsewhere.

A thin-pool will allocate blocks using FIFO order for all thin devices
which share the thin-pool. Because of this simplistic allocation the
thin-pool's space can become fragmented quite easily; especially when
multiple threads are requesting blocks in parallel.
Sort each thin device's deferred_bio_list based on logical sector to
help reduce fragmentation of the thin-pool's ondisk layout.
The following tables illustrate the realized gains/potential offered by
sorting each thin device's deferred_bio_list. An "io size"-sized random
read of the device would result in "seeks/io" fragments being read, with
an average "distance/seek" between each fragment.
Data was written to a single thin device using multiple threads via
iozone (8 threads, 64K for both the block_size and io_size).

The thin-pool previously only had a single deferred_bios list that would
collect bios for all thin devices in the pool. Split this per-pool
deferred_bios list out to per-thin deferred_bios_list -- doing so
enables increased parallelism when processing deferred bios. And now
that each thin device has it's own deferred_bios_list we can sort all
bios in the list using logical sector. The requeue code in error
handling path is also cleaner as a side-effect.

process_queued_ios() has served 3 functions:
1) select pg and pgpath if none is selected
2) start pg_init if requested
3) dispatch queued IOs when pg is ready
Basically, a call to queue_work(process_queued_ios) can be replaced by
dm_table_run_md_queue_async(), which runs request queue and ends up
calling map_io(), which does 1), 2) and 3).
Exception is when !pg_ready() (which means either pg_init is running or
requested), then multipath_busy() prevents map_io() being called from
request_fn.
If pg_init is running, it should be ok as long as pg_init_done() does
the right thing when pg_init is completed, I.e.: restart pg_init if
!pg_ready() or call dm_table_run_md_queue_async() to kick map_io().
If pg_init is requested, we have to make sure the request is detected
and pg_init will be started. pg_init is requested in 3 places:
a) __choose_pgpath() in map_io()
b) __choose_pgpath() in multipath_ioctl()
c) pg_init retry in pg_init_done()
a) is ok because map_io() calls __pg_init_all_paths(), which does 2).
b) needs a call to __pg_init_all_paths(), which does 2).
c) needs a call to __pg_init_all_paths(), which does 2).
So this patch removes process_queued_ios() and ensures that
__pg_init_all_paths() is called at the appropriate locations.

There is no reason why multipath needs to queue requests internally for
queue_if_no_path or pg_init; we should rather push them back onto the
request queue.
And while we're at it we can simplify the conditional statement in
map_io() to make it easier to read.
Since mpath no longer does internal queuing of I/O the table info no
longer emits the internal queue_size. Instead it displays 1 if queuing
is being used or 0 if it is not.

Replace rcu_assign_pointer(p, NULL) with RCU_INIT_POINTER(p, NULL).
The rcu_assign_pointer() ensures that the initialization of a structure
is carried out before storing a pointer to that structure. And in the
case of the NULL pointer, there is no structure to initialize. So,
rcu_assign_pointer(p, NULL) can be safely converted to
RCU_INIT_POINTER(p, NULL).

Device mapper uses the bio structure's bi_private field as a pointer
to dm_target_io or dm_rq_clone_bio_info. But a bio structure is
embedded in the dm_target_io and dm_rq_clone_bio_info structures, so the
pointer to the structure that contains the bio can be found with the
container_of() macro.
Remove the use of bi_private and use container_of() instead.

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # drop dm-era and dm-cache changes as needed
The persistent-data library used by dm-thin, dm-cache, etc is
transactional. If anything goes wrong, such as an io error when writing
new metadata or a power failure, then we roll back to the last
transaction.
Atomicity when committing a transaction is achieved by:
a) Never overwriting data from the previous transaction.
b) Writing the superblock last, after all other metadata has hit the
disk.
This commit and the following commit ("dm: take care to copy the space
map roots before locking the superblock") fix a bug associated with (b).
When committing it was possible for the superblock to still be written
in spite of an io error occurring during the preceeding metadata flush.
With these commits we're careful not to take the write lock out on the
superblock until after the metadata flush has completed.
Change the transaction manager's semantics for dm_tm_commit() to assume
all data has been flushed _before_ the single superblock that is passed
in.
As a prerequisite, split the block manager's block unlocking and
flushing by simplifying dm_bm_flush_and_unlock() to dm_bm_flush(). Now
the unlocking must be done separately.
This issue was discovered by forcing io errors at the crucial time
using dm-flakey.

Discard block size not being equal to cache block size causes data

If the discard block size is larger than the cache block size we will
not properly quiesce IO to a region that is about to be discarded. This
results in a race between a cache migration where no copy is needed, and
a write to an adjacent cache block that's within the same large discard
block.
Workaround this by limiting the discard_block_size to cache_block_size.
Also limit the max_discard_sectors to cache_block_size.
A more comprehensive fix that introduces range locking support in the
bio_prison and proper quiescing of a discard range that spans multiple
cache blocks is already in development.

dm-era is a target that behaves similar to the linear target. In
addition it keeps track of which blocks were written within a user
defined period of time called an 'era'. Each era target instance
maintains the current era as a monotonically increasing 32-bit
counter.
Use cases include tracking changed blocks for backup software, and
partially invalidating the contents of a cache to restore cache
coherency after rolling back a vendor snapshot.
dm-era is primarily expected to be paired with the dm-cache target.
