Junichi Nomura 3a1407559a dm: fix NULL pointer when clone_and_map_rq returns !DM_MAPIO_REMAPPED
When stacking request-based DM on blk_mq device, request cloning and
remapping are done in a single call to target's clone_and_map_rq().
The clone is allocated and valid only if clone_and_map_rq() returns
DM_MAPIO_REMAPPED.

The "IS_ERR(clone)" check in map_request() does not cover all the
!DM_MAPIO_REMAPPED cases that are possible (E.g. if underlying devices
are not ready or unavailable, clone_and_map_rq() may return
DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE without ever having established an ERR_PTR).  Fix this
by explicitly checking for a return that is not DM_MAPIO_REMAPPED in
map_request().

Without this fix, DM core may call setup_clone() for a NULL clone
and oops like this:

Junichi Nomura 4ae9944d13 dm: run queue on re-queue
Without kicking queue, requeued request may stay forever in
the queue if there are no other I/O activities to the device.

The original error had been in v2.6.39 with commit 7eaceaccab
("block: remove per-queue plugging"), which replaced conditional
plugging by periodic runqueue.

Commit 9d1deb83d4 in v4.1-rc1 removed the periodic runqueue
and the problem started to manifest.

Mike Snitzer aa6df8dd28 dm: fix free_rq_clone() NULL pointer when requeueing unmapped request
Commit 022333427a ("dm: optimize dm_mq_queue_rq to _not_ use kthread if
using pure blk-mq") mistakenly removed free_rq_clone()'s clone->q check
before testing clone->q->mq_ops.  It was an oversight to discontinue
that check for 1 of the 2 use-cases for free_rq_clone():
1) free_rq_clone() called when an unmapped original request is requeued
2) free_rq_clone() called in the request-based IO completion path

The clone->q check made sense for case #1 but not for #2.  However, we
cannot just reinstate the check as it'd mask a serious bug in the IO
completion case #2 -- no in-flight request should have an uninitialized
request_queue (basic block layer refcounting _should_ ensure this).

The NULL pointer seen for case #1 is detailed here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-April/msg00160.html

Fix this free_rq_clone() NULL pointer by simply checking if the
mapped_device's type is DM_TYPE_MQ_REQUEST_BASED (clone's queue is
blk-mq) rather than checking clone->q->mq_ops.  This avoids the need to
dereference clone->q, but a WARN_ON_ONCE is added to let us know if an
uninitialized clone request is being completed.

Christoph Hellwig 3e6180f0c8 dm: only initialize the request_queue once
Commit bfebd1cdb4 ("dm: add full blk-mq support to request-based DM")
didn't properly account for the need to short-circuit re-initializing
DM's blk-mq request_queue if it was already initialized.

Otherwise, reloading a blk-mq request-based DM table (either manually
or via multipathd) resulted in errors, see:
 https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-April/msg00132.html

Fix is to only initialize the request_queue on the initial table load
(when the mapped_device type is assigned).

This is better than having dm_init_request_based_blk_mq_queue() return
early if the queue was already initialized because it elevates the
constraint to a more meaningful location in DM core.  As such the
pre-existing early return in dm_init_request_based_queue() can now be
removed.

Sami Tolvanen 65ff5b7ddf dm verity: add error handling modes for corrupted blocks
Add device specific modes to dm-verity to specify how corrupted
blocks should be handled.  The following modes are defined:

  - DM_VERITY_MODE_EIO is the default behavior, where reading a
    corrupted block results in -EIO.

  - DM_VERITY_MODE_LOGGING only logs corrupted blocks, but does
    not block the read.

  - DM_VERITY_MODE_RESTART calls kernel_restart when a corrupted
    block is discovered.

In addition, each mode sends a uevent to notify userspace of
corruption and to allow further recovery actions.

The driver defaults to previous behavior (DM_VERITY_MODE_EIO)
and other modes can be enabled with an additional parameter to
the verity table.

Mike Snitzer 17e149b8f7 dm: add 'use_blk_mq' module param and expose in per-device ro sysfs attr
Request-based DM's blk-mq support defaults to off; but a user can easily
change the default using the dm_mod.use_blk_mq module/boot option.

Also, you can check what mode a given request-based DM device is using
with: cat /sys/block/dm-X/dm/use_blk_mq

This change enabled further cleanup and reduced work (e.g. the
md->io_pool and md->rq_pool isn't created if using blk-mq).

Mike Snitzer 022333427a dm: optimize dm_mq_queue_rq to _not_ use kthread if using pure blk-mq
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
request_fn device(s).

Mike Snitzer bfebd1cdb4 dm: add full blk-mq support to request-based DM
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."

Mike Snitzer 0ce65797a7 dm: impose configurable deadline for dm_request_fn's merge heuristic
Otherwise, for sequential workloads, the dm_request_fn can allow
excessive request merging at the expense of increased service time.

Add a per-device sysfs attribute to allow the user to control how long a
request, that is a reasonable merge candidate, can be queued on the
request queue.  The resolution of this request dispatch deadline is in
microseconds (ranging from 1 to 100000 usecs), to set a 20us deadline:
  echo 20 > /sys/block/dm-7/dm/rq_based_seq_io_merge_deadline

The dm_request_fn's merge heuristic and associated extra accounting is
disabled by default (rq_based_seq_io_merge_deadline is 0).

This sysfs attribute is not applicable to bio-based DM devices so it
will only ever report 0 for them.

By allowing a request to remain on the queue it will block others
requests on the queue.  But introducing a short dequeue delay has proven
very effective at enabling certain sequential IO workloads on really
fast, yet IOPS constrained, devices to build up slightly larger IOs --
yielding 90+% throughput improvements.  Having precise control over the
time taken to wait for larger requests to build affords control beyond
that of waiting for certain IO sizes to accumulate (which would require
a deadline anyway).  This knob will only ever make sense with sequential
IO workloads and the particular value used is storage configuration
specific.

Given the expected niche use-case for when this knob is useful it has
been deemed acceptable to expose this relatively crude method for
crafting optimal IO on specific storage -- especially given the solution
is simple yet effective.  In the context of DM multipath, it is
advisable to tune this sysfs attribute to a value that offers the best
performance for the common case (e.g. if 4 paths are expected active,
tune for that; if paths fail then performance may be slightly reduced).

Alternatives were explored to have request-based DM autotune this value
(e.g. if/when paths fail) but they were quickly deemed too fragile and
complex to warrant further design and development time.  If this problem
proves more common as faster storage emerges we'll have to look at
elevating a generic solution into the block core.

Mike Snitzer 63a4f065ec dm: fix add_disk() NULL pointer due to race with free_dev()
Commit c4db59d31e ("fs: don't reassign dirty inodes to
default_backing_dev_info") exposed DM to a latent race in free_dev() vs
add_disk() in relation to management of the device's minor number.

Fix this by refactoring free_dev() to match cleanup order of the
alloc_dev() error path.  Move cleanup of the gendisk, queue, and bdev
to _before_ the cleanup of the idr managed minor number.

Also, purely due to cleanup that fell out during the free_dev() audit:
- adjust dm_blk_close() to access the gendisk's private_data under
  the _minor_lock spinlock.
- move __dm_destroy()'s dm_get_live_table() call out from under the
  _minor_lock spinlock.

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.

Mikulas Patocka b735fede8d dm snapshot: suspend origin when doing exception handover
In the function snapshot_resume we perform exception store handover.  If
there is another active snapshot target, the exception store is moved
from this target to the target that is being resumed.

The problem is that if there is some pending exception, it will point to
an incorrect exception store after that handover, causing a crash due to
dm-snap-persistent.c:get_exception()'s BUG_ON.

This bug can be triggered by repeatedly changing snapshot permissions
with "lvchange -p r" and "lvchange -p rw" while there are writes on the
associated origin device.

To fix this bug, we must suspend the origin device when doing the
exception store handover to make sure that there are no pending
exceptions:
- introduce _origin_hash that keeps track of dm_origin structures.
- introduce functions __lookup_dm_origin, __insert_dm_origin and
  __remove_dm_origin that manipulate the origin hash.
- modify snapshot_resume so that it calls dm_internal_suspend_fast() and
  dm_internal_resume_fast() on the origin device.

NOTE to stable@ people:

When backporting to kernels 3.12-3.18, use dm_internal_suspend and
dm_internal_resume instead of dm_internal_suspend_fast and
dm_internal_resume_fast.

When backporting to kernels older than 3.12, you need to pick functions
dm_internal_suspend and dm_internal_resume from the commit
fd2ed4d252.

Mikulas Patocka 2bec1f4a88 dm: fix a race condition in dm_get_md
The function dm_get_md finds a device mapper device with a given dev_t,
increases the reference count and returns the pointer.

dm_get_md calls dm_find_md, dm_find_md takes _minor_lock, finds the
device, tests that the device doesn't have DMF_DELETING or DMF_FREEING
flag, drops _minor_lock and returns pointer to the device. dm_get_md then
calls dm_get. dm_get calls BUG if the device has the DMF_FREEING flag,
otherwise it increments the reference count.

There is a possible race condition - after dm_find_md exits and before
dm_get is called, there are no locks held, so the device may disappear or
DMF_FREEING flag may be set, which results in BUG.

To fix this bug, we need to call dm_get while we hold _minor_lock. This
patch renames dm_find_md to dm_get_md and changes it so that it calls
dm_get while holding the lock.

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.

[This patch was started by Keith and later heavily modified by Mike]

Keith Busch 466d89a6bc dm: prepare for allocating blk-mq clone requests in target
For blk-mq request-based DM the responsibility of allocating a cloned
request will be transfered from DM core to the target type.

To prepare for conditionally using this new model the original
request's 'special' now points to the dm_rq_target_io because the
clone is allocated later in the block layer rather than in DM core.

Keith Busch 2eb6e1e3aa dm: submit stacked requests in irq enabled context
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.

multipath_map() is now always in irq enabled context so change multipath
spinlock (m->lock) locking to always disable interrupts.

Mike Snitzer 1ae49ea2cf dm: split request structure out from dm_rq_target_io structure
Request-based DM support for blk-mq devices requires that
dm_rq_target_io structures not be allocated with an embedded request
structure.  The request-based DM target (e.g. dm-multipath) must
allocate the request from the blk-mq devices' request_queue using
blk_get_request().

The unfortunate side-effect of this change is old-style request-based DM
support will no longer use contiguous memory for the dm_rq_target_io and
request structures for each clone.

Commit ffcc393641 ("dm: enhance internal suspend and resume interface")

it did that incorrectly.  When these functions are called in this order
on the same device the device is no longer suspended, but it should be:

	dm_internal_suspend_noflush
	dm_internal_resume

Fix this bug by maintaining an 'internal_suspend_count' and resuming

Mike Snitzer ffcc393641 dm: enhance internal suspend and resume interface
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).

Mike Snitzer 148e51baf8 dm: improve documentation and code clarity in dm_merge_bvec
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
offset.  Also, update a comment in dm_merge_bvec() relative to
max_hw_sectors_kb.  And fix empty newline whitespace.

Benjamin Marzinski 86f1152b11 dm: allow active and inactive tables to share dm_devs
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.

Junichi Nomura 3d8aab2d2c dm: use bioset_create_nobvec()
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.

Junichi Nomura 997782735c dm: remove nr_iovecs parameter from alloc_tio()
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
__clone_and_map_simple_bio().

Mikulas Patocka acfe0ad74d dm: allocate a special workqueue for deferred device removal
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.

Mike Snitzer 7eee4ae2db dm: disable WRITE SAME if it fails
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).
