This patch converts dm-multipath target to request-based from bio-based.
Basically, the patch just converts the I/O unit from struct bio
to struct request.
In the course of the conversion, it also changes the I/O queueing
mechanism. The change in the I/O queueing is described in details
as follows.
I/O queueing mechanism change
-----------------------------
In I/O submission, map_io(), there is no mechanism change from
bio-based, since the clone request is ready for retry as it is.
However, in I/O complition, do_end_io(), there is a mechanism change
from bio-based, since the clone request is not ready for retry.
In do_end_io() of bio-based, the clone bio has all needed memory
for resubmission. So the target driver can queue it and resubmit
it later without memory allocations.
The mechanism has almost no overhead.
On the other hand, in do_end_io() of request-based, the clone request
doesn't have clone bios, so the target driver can't resubmit it
as it is. To resubmit the clone request, memory allocation for
clone bios is needed, and it takes some overheads.
To avoid the overheads just for queueing, the target driver doesn't
queue the clone request inside itself.
Instead, the target driver asks dm core for queueing and remapping
the original request of the clone request, since the overhead for
queueing is just a freeing memory for the clone request.
As a result, the target driver doesn't need to record/restore
the information of the original request for resubmitting
the clone request. So dm_bio_details in dm_mpath_io is removed.
multipath_busy()
---------------------
The target driver returns "busy", only when the following case:
o The target driver will map I/Os, if map() function is called
and
o The mapped I/Os will wait on underlying device's queue due to
their congestions, if map() function is called now.
In other cases, the target driver doesn't return "busy".
Otherwise, dm core will keep the I/Os and the target driver can't
do what it wants.
(e.g. the target driver can't map I/Os now, so wants to kill I/Os.)

This patch makes two additions to the dm path selector interface for
dynamic load balancers:
o a new hook, start_io()
o a new parameter 'nr_bytes' to select_path()/start_io()/end_io()
to pass the size of the I/O
start_io() is called when a target driver actually submits I/O
to the selected path.
Path selectors can use it to start accounting of the I/O.
(e.g. counting the number of in-flight I/Os.)
The start_io hook is based on the patch posted by Stefan Bader:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2005-October/msg00050.html
nr_bytes, the size of the I/O, is so path selectors can take the
size of the I/O into account when deciding which path to use.
dm-service-time uses it to estimate service time, for example.
(Added the nr_bytes member to dm_mpath_io instead of using existing
details.bi_size, since request-based dm patch deletes it.)

The commit fe9cf30eb8 moves dm table event
submission from kmultipath queue to kernel kevent queue to avoid a
deadlock.
There is a possibility of race condition because kevent queue is not flushed
in the multipath destructor. The scenario is:
- some event happens and is queued to keventd
- keventd thread is delayed due to scheuling latency or some other work
- multipath device is destroyed
- keventd now attempts to process work_struct that is residing in already
released memory.
The patch flushes the keventd queue in multipath constructor.
I've already fixed similar bug in dm-raid1.

Fixed a problem affecting reinstatement of passive paths.
Before we moved the hardware handler from dm to SCSI, it performed a pg_init
for a path group and didn't maintain any state about each path in hardware
handler code.
But in SCSI dh, such state is now maintained, as we want to fail I/O early on a
path if it is not the active path.
All the hardware handlers have a state now and set to active or some form of
inactive. They have prep_fn() which uses this state to fail the I/O without
it ever being sent to the device.
So in effect when dm-multipath calls scsi_dh_activate(), activate is
sent to only one path and the "state" of that path is changed appropriately
to "active" while other paths in the same path group are never changed
as they never got an "activate".
In order make sure all the paths in a path group gets their state set
properly when a pg_init happens, we need to call scsi_dh_activate() on
all paths in a path group.
Doing this at the hardware handler layer is not a good option as we
want the multipath layer to define the relationship between path and path
groups and not the hardware handler.
Attached patch sends an "activate" on each path in a path group when a
path group is switched. It also sends an activate when a path is reinstated.

When specifying a different hardware handler via multipath
features we should be able to override the built-in defaults.
The problem here is the hardware table from scsi_dh is compiled
in and cannot be changed from userland. The multipath.conf OTOH
is purely user-defined and, what's more, the user might have a valid
reason for modifying it.
(EG EMC Clariion can well be run in PNR mode even though ALUA is
active, or the user might want to try ALUA on any as-of-yet unknown
devices)
So _not_ allowing multipath to override the device handler setting
will just add to the confusion and makes error tracking even more
difficult.

Change dm_unregister_target to return void and use BUG() for error
reporting.
dm_unregister_target can only fail because of programming bug in the
target driver. It can't fail because of user's behavior or disk errors.
This patch changes unregister_target to return void and use BUG if
someone tries to unregister non-registered target or unregister target
that is in use.
This patch removes code duplication (testing of error codes in all dm
targets) and reports bugs in just one place, in dm_unregister_target. In
some target drivers, these return codes were ignored, which could lead
to a situation where bugs could be missed.

Multipath is best at handling transport errors. If it gets a device
error then there is not much the multipath layer can do. It will just
access the same device but from a different path.
This patch breaks up failfast into device, transport and driver errors.
The multipath layers (md and dm mutlipath) only ask the lower levels to
fast fail transport errors. The user of failfast, read ahead, will ask
to fast fail on all errors.
Note that blk_noretry_request will return true if any failfast bit
is set. This allows drivers that do not support the multipath failfast
bits to continue to fail on any failfast error like before. Drivers
like scsi that are able to fail fast specific errors can check
for the specific fail fast type. In the next patch I will convert
scsi.

Moving the path activation to workqueue along with scsi_dh patches introduced
a race. It is due to the fact that the current_pgpath (in the multipath data
structure) can be modified if changes happen in any of the paths leading to
the lun. If the changes lead to current_pgpath being set to NULL, then it
leads to the invalid access which results in the panic below.
This patch fixes that by storing the pgpath to activate in the multipath data
structure and properly protecting it.
Note that if activate_path is called twice in succession with different pgpath,
with the second one being called before the first one is done, then activate
path will be called twice for the second pgpath, which is fine.

Before this patch set (SCSI hardware handlers), initialization of a
path was done asynchronously. Doing that requires a workqueue in each
device/hardware handler module and leads to unneccessary complication
in the device handler code, making it difficult to read the code and
follow the state diagram.
Moving that workqueue to this level makes the device handler code simpler.
Hence, the workqueue is moved to dm level.
A new workqueue is added instead of adding it to the existing workqueue
(kmpathd) for the following reasons:
1. Device activation has to happen faster, stacking them along
with the other workqueue might lead to unnecessary delay
in the activation of the path.
2. The effect could be felt the other way too. i.e the current
events that are handled by the existing workqueue might get
a delayed response.

This patch converts dm-mpath to use scsi device handlers instead of
dm's hardware handlers.
This patch does not add any new functionality. Old behaviors remain and
userspace tools work as is except that arguments supplied with hardware
handler are ignored.
One behavioral exception is: Activation of a path is synchronous in this
patch, opposed to the older behavior of being asynchronous (changed in
patch 07: scsi_dh: Add a single threaded workqueue for initializing a path)
Note: There is no need to get a reference for the device handler module
(as it was done in the dm hardware handler case) here as the reference
is held when the device was first found. Instead we check and make sure
that support for the specified device is present at table load time.

This patch allows a failed path group initialisation command to be retried.
It adds a generic MP_RETRY flag and a "pg_init_retries" feature to
device-mapper multipath which limits the number of retries.
1. A hw handler sends a path initialization command to the storage and
the command completes with an error code indicating the command
should be retried.
2. The hardware handler calls dm_pg_init_complete() with MP_RETRY
set in err_flags to ask the dm multipath core to retry.
3. If the retry limit has not been exceeded, pg_init() is retried.
Otherwise fail_path() is called.
If you are using the userspace multipath-tools or device-mapper-multipath
package, you can set pg_init_retries in the 'device' section of your
/etc/multipath.conf file. For example:
features "2 pg_init_retries 7"
The number of PG retries attempted is reported in the 'dmsetup status' output.

This patch causes device-mapper to reject any barrier requests. This is done
since most of the targets won't handle this correctly anyway. So until the

Since barrier requests won't get to the targets, the checks there can be
removed.

Implement the pushback feature for the multipath target.
The pushback request is used when:
1) there are no valid paths;
2) queue_if_no_path was set;
3) a suspend is being issued with the DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag.
Otherwise bios are returned to applications with -EIO.
To check whether queue_if_no_path is specified or not, you need to check
both queue_if_no_path and saved_queue_if_no_path, because presuspend saves
the original queue_if_no_path value to saved_queue_if_no_path.
The check for 1 already exists in both map_io() and do_end_io().
So this patch adds __must_push_back() to check 2 and 3.
