This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).
For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device. But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.
Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
over the stack.

Currently we use nornal Linux errno values in the block layer, and while
we accept any error a few have overloaded magic meanings. This patch
instead introduces a new blk_status_t value that holds block layer specific
status codes and explicitly explains their meaning. Helpers to convert from
and to the previous special meanings are provided for now, but I suspect
we want to get rid of them in the long run - those drivers that have a
errno input (e.g. networking) usually get errnos that don't know about
the special block layer overloads, and similarly returning them to userspace
will usually return somethings that strictly speaking isn't correct
for file system operations, but that's left as an exercise for later.
For now the set of errors is a very limited set that closely corresponds
to the previous overloaded errno values, but there is some low hanging
fruite to improve it.
blk_status_t (ab)uses the sparse __bitwise annotations to allow for sparse
typechecking, so that we can easily catch places passing the wrong values.

If dm-mpath encounters an reservation conflict it should not fail the
path (as communication with the target is not affected) but should
rather retry on another path. However, in doing so we might be inducing
a ping-pong between paths, with no guarantee of any forward progress.
And arguably a reservation conflict is an unexpected error, so we should
be passing it upwards to allow the application to take appropriate
steps.
This change resolves a show-stopper problem seen with the pNFS SCSI
layout because it is trivial to hit reservation conflict based failover
loops without it.
Doubts were raised about the implications of this change relative to
products like IBM's SVC. But there is little point withholding a fix
for Linux because a proprietary product may or may not have some issues
in its implementation of how it interfaces with Linux. In the future,
if there is glaring evidence that this change is certainly problematic

Allow a user to specify an optional feature 'queue_mode <mode>' where

If the queue_mode feature isn't specified the default for the

it'll default to mode "mq".
This new queue_mode feature introduces the ability for each multipath

multipath devices effectively had to have the same queue_mode).

Add "multipath-bio" target that offers a bio-based multipath target as
an alternative to the request-based "multipath" target -- but in a
following commit "multipath-bio" will immediately be replaced by a new
"queue_mode" feature for the "multipath" target which will allow
bio-based mode to be selected.
When DM multipath was originally converted from bio-based to
request-based the motivation for the change was better dynamic load
balancing (by leveraging block core's request-based IO schedulers, for
merging and sorting, _before_ DM multipath would make the decision on
where to steer the IO -- based on path load and/or availability).
More background is available in this "Request-based Device-mapper
multipath and Dynamic load balancing" paper:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/ols/2007/ols2007v2-pages-235-244.pdf
But we've now come full circle where significantly faster storage
devices no longer need IOs to be made larger to drive optimal IO
performance. And even if they do there have been changes to the block
and filesystem layers that help ensure upper layers are constructing
larger IOs. In addition, SCSI's differentiated IO errors will propagate
through to bio-based IO completion hooks -- so that eliminates another
historic justiciation for request-based DM multipath. Lastly, the block
layer's immutable biovec changes have made bio cloning cheaper than it
has ever been; whereas request cloning is still relatively expensive
(both on a CPU usage and memory footprint level).
As such, bio-based DM multipath offers the promise of a more efficient
IO path for high IOPs devices that are, or will be, emerging.

The primary motivation of this commit is to improve the scalability of
DM multipath on large NUMA systems where m->lock spinlock contention has
been proven to be a serious bottleneck on really fast storage.
The ability to atomically read a pointer, using lockless_dereference(),
is leveraged in this commit. But all pointer writes are still protected
by the m->lock spinlock (which is fine since these all now occur in the
slow-path).
The following functions no longer require the m->lock spinlock in their
fast-path: multipath_busy(), __multipath_map(), and do_end_io()
And choose_pgpath() is modified to _not_ update m->current_pgpath unless
it also switches the path-group. This is done to avoid needing to take
the m->lock everytime __multipath_map() calls choose_pgpath().
But m->current_pgpath will be reset if it is failed via fail_path().

- m->queue_io is true if we cannot send a request immediately to

* the path group needs activation (pg_init)
- pg_init is not started
- pg_init is still running
- m->queue_if_no_path is true if the device is configured to queue

If !pgpath && !m->queue_if_no_path, the handler should return -EIO.
However in the course of refactoring the condition check has broken

running without CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability (e.g., unprivileged users) when there
are no active paths: the ioctl() fails with the ENOTTY errno immediately rather
than blocking due to queue_if_no_path until a path becomes active, for example.
That case happens to be exercised by QEMU KVM guests with 'scsi-block' devices
(qemu "-device scsi-block" [1], libvirt "<disk type='block' device='lun'>" [2])
from multipath devices; which leads to SCSI/filesystem errors in such a guest.
More general scenarios can hit that regression too. The following demonstration
employs a SG_IO ioctl() with a standard SCSI INQUIRY command for this objective
(some output & user changes omitted for brevity and comments added for clarity).
Reverting that commit restores normal operation (queueing) in failing scenarios;
tested on linux-next (next-20151022).
1) Test-case is based on sg_simple0 [3] (just SG_IO; remove SG_GET_VERSION_NUM)
$ cat sg_simple0.c
... see [3] ...
$ sed '/SG_GET_VERSION_NUM/,/}/d' sg_simple0.c > sgio_inquiry.c
$ gcc sgio_inquiry.c -o sgio_inquiry
2) The ioctl() works fine with active paths present.

dm_mq_queue_rq() is in atomic context so care must be taken to not
sleep -- as such GFP_ATOMIC is used for the md->bs bioset allocations
and dm-mpath's call to blk_get_request(). In the future the bioset
allocations will hopefully go away (by removing support for partial
completions of bios in a cloned request).
Also prepare for supporting DM blk-mq ontop of old-style request_fn
device(s) if a new dm-mod 'use_blk_mq' parameter is set. The kthread
will still be used to queue work if blk-mq is used ontop of old-style

Commit e5863d9ad ("dm: allocate requests in target when stacking on
blk-mq devices") served as the first step toward fully utilizing blk-mq
in request-based DM -- it enabled stacking an old-style (request_fn)
request_queue ontop of the underlying blk-mq device(s). That first step
didn't improve performance of DM multipath ontop of fast blk-mq devices
(e.g. NVMe) because the top-level old-style request_queue was severely
limited by the queue_lock.
The second step offered here enables stacking a blk-mq request_queue
ontop of the underlying blk-mq device(s). This unlocks significant
performance gains on fast blk-mq devices, Keith Busch tested on his NVMe
testbed and offered this really positive news:
"Just providing a performance update. All my fio tests are getting
roughly equal performance whether accessed through the raw block
device or the multipath device mapper (~470k IOPS). I could only push
~20% of the raw iops through dm before this conversion, so this latest
tree is looking really solid from a performance standpoint."

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.

Switch to having request-based DM enqueue all prep'ed requests into work
processed by another thread. This allows request-based DM to invoke
block APIs that assume interrupt enabled context (e.g. blk_get_request)
and is a prerequisite for adding blk-mq support to request-based DM.
The new kernel thread is only initialized for request-based DM devices.

Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>
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.

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).

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.

And while we're at it we can simplify the conditional statement in

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

When pg_init is running no I/O can be submitted to the underlying
devices, as the path priority etc might change. When using queue_io for
this, requests will be piling up within multipath as the block I/O
scheduler just sees a _very fast_ device. All of this queued I/O has to
be resubmitted from within multipathing once pg_init is done.
This approach has the problem that it's virtually impossible to
abort I/O when pg_init is running, and we're adding heavy load
to the devices after pg_init since all of the queued I/O needs to be
resubmitted _before_ any requests can be pulled off of the request queue
and normal operation continues.
This patch will requeue the I/O that triggers the pg_init call, and
return 'busy' when pg_init is in progress. With these changes the block
I/O scheduler will stop submitting I/O during pg_init, resulting in a
quicker path switch and less I/O pressure (and memory consumption) after
pg_init.

Whenever multipath_dtr() is happening we must prevent queueing any
further path activation work. Implement this by adding a new
'pg_init_disabled' flag to the multipath structure that denotes future
path activation work should be skipped if it is set. By disabling
pg_init and then re-enabling in flush_multipath_work() we also avoid the
potential for pg_init to be initiated while suspending an mpath device.
Without this patch a race condition exists that may result in a kernel
panic:
1) If after pg_init_done() decrements pg_init_in_progress to 0, a call
to wait_for_pg_init_completion() assumes there are no more pending path
management commands.
2) If pg_init_required is set by pg_init_done(), due to retryable
mode_select errors, then process_queued_ios() will again queue the
path activation work.
3) If free_multipath() completes before activate_path() work is called a
NULL pointer dereference like the following can be seen when
accessing members of the recently destructed multipath:

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.

EXT4-fs (dm-6): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)
device-mapper: multipath: XXX snitm debugging: got -EREMOTEIO (-121)
device-mapper: multipath: XXX snitm debugging: WRITE SAME I/O failed with error=-121
end_request: critical target error, dev dm-6, sector 528
dm-6: WRITE SAME failed. Manually zeroing.
# cat /sys/block/sdh/queue/write_same_max_bytes
0
# cat /sys/block/dm-6/queue/write_same_max_bytes
0
It should be noted that WRITE SAME support wasn't enabled in DM
multipath until v3.10.

Since ENOSPC is a target-side error, dm-mpath should just pass the error
information to upper layer instead of retrying itself with path failover.
Otherwise it will end up failing all paths down while path checkers find
all paths ok.
ENOSPC can now be returned from SCSI device after commit a9d6ceb8
("[SCSI] return ENOSPC on thin provisioning failure").

When a medium error is detected the SCSI stack should return
ENODATA to the upper layers.

When multipath needs to retry an ioctl the reference to the
current live table needs to be dropped. Otherwise a deadlock
occurs when all paths are down:
- dm_blk_ioctl takes a reference to the current table
and spins in multipath_ioctl().
- A new table is being loaded, but upon resume the process
hangs in dm_table_destroy() waiting for references to
drop to zero.
With this patch the reference to the old table is dropped
prior to retry, thereby avoiding the deadlock.

Enable WRITE SAME support in dm multipath. As far as multipath is
concerned it is just another write request.

Use 'bio' in the name of variables and functions that deal with
bios rather than 'request' to avoid confusion with the normal
block layer use of 'request'.
No functional changes.
