Patch series "kvmalloc", v5.
There are many open coded kmalloc with vmalloc fallback instances in the
tree. Most of them are not careful enough or simply do not care about
the underlying semantic of the kmalloc/page allocator which means that
a) some vmalloc fallbacks are basically unreachable because the kmalloc
part will keep retrying until it succeeds b) the page allocator can
invoke a really disruptive steps like the OOM killer to move forward
which doesn't sound appropriate when we consider that the vmalloc
fallback is available.
As it can be seen implementing kvmalloc requires quite an intimate
knowledge if the page allocator and the memory reclaim internals which
strongly suggests that a helper should be implemented in the memory
subsystem proper.
Most callers, I could find, have been converted to use the helper
instead. This is patch 6. There are some more relying on __GFP_REPEAT
in the networking stack which I have converted as well and Eric Dumazet
was not opposed [2] to convert them as well.

This patch (of 9):
Using kmalloc with the vmalloc fallback for larger allocations is a
common pattern in the kernel code. Yet we do not have any common helper
for that and so users have invented their own helpers. Some of them are
really creative when doing so. Let's just add kv[mz]alloc and make sure
it is implemented properly. This implementation makes sure to not make
a large memory pressure for > PAGE_SZE requests (__GFP_NORETRY) and also
to not warn about allocation failures. This also rules out the OOM
killer as the vmalloc is a more approapriate fallback than a disruptive
user visible action.
This patch also changes some existing users and removes helpers which
are specific for them. In some cases this is not possible (e.g.
ext4_kvmalloc, libcfs_kvzalloc) because those seems to be broken and
require GFP_NO{FS,IO} context which is not vmalloc compatible in general
(note that the page table allocation is GFP_KERNEL). Those need to be
fixed separately.
While we are at it, document that __vmalloc{_node} about unsupported gfp
mask because there seems to be a lot of confusion out there.
kvmalloc_node will warn about GFP_KERNEL incompatible (which are not
superset) flags to catch new abusers. Existing ones would have to die
slowly.

Add some seperation between bio-based and request-based DM core code.
'struct mapped_device' and other DM core only structures and functions
have been moved to dm-core.h and all relevant DM core .c files have been
updated to include dm-core.h rather than dm.h
DM targets should _never_ include dm-core.h!

It looks like dm stats cares about the data direction
(READ vs WRITE) and does not need the bio/request flags.
Commands like REQ_FLUSH, REQ_DISCARD and REQ_WRITE_SAME
are currently always set with REQ_WRITE, so the extra check for
REQ_DISCARD in dm_stats_account_io is not needed.
This patch has it use the bio and request data_dir helpers
instead of accessing the bi_rw/cmd_flags directly. This makes
the next patches that remove the operation from the cmd_flags
and bi_rw easier, because we will no longer have the REQ_WRITE
bit set for operations like discards.

If the user selected the precise_timestamps or histogram options, report
it in the @stats_list message output.
If the user didn't select these options, no extra tokens are reported,
thus it is backward compatible with old software that doesn't know about
precise timestamps and histogram.

performance requirements that were requested by the Gluster
distributed filesystem. Specifically, dm-thinp now takes care to
aggregate IO that will be issued to the same thinp block before
issuing IO to the underlying devices. This really helps improve
performance on HW RAID6 devices that have a writeback cache because it
avoids RMW in the HW RAID controller.
- Some stable fixes: fix leak in DM bufio if integrity profiles were
enabled, use memzero_explicit in DM crypt to avoid any potential for
information leak, and a DM cache fix to properly mark a cache block
dirty if it was promoted to the cache via the overwrite optimization.
- A few simple DM persistent data library fixes
- DM cache multiqueue policy block promotion improvements.
- DM cache discard improvements that take advantage of range
(multiblock) discard support in the DM bio-prison. This allows for
much more efficient bulk discard processing (e.g. when mkfs.xfs
discards the entire device).
- Some small optimizations in DM core and RCU deference cleanups
- DM core changes to suspend/resume code to introduce the new internal
suspend/resume interface that the DM thin-pool target now uses to
suspend/resume active thin devices when the thin-pool must
suspend/resume. This avoids forcing userspace to track all active
thin volumes in a thin-pool when the thin-pool is suspended for the
purposes of metadata or data space resize.

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).

The module parameter stats_current_allocated_bytes in dm-mod is
read-only. This parameter informs the user about memory
consumption. It is not supposed to be changed by the user.
However, despite being read-only, this parameter can be set on
modprobe or insmod command line:
modprobe dm-mod stats_current_allocated_bytes=12345
The kernel doesn't expect that this variable can be non-zero at module
initialization and if the user sets it, it results in warning.
This patch initializes the variable in the module init routine, so
that user-supplied value is ignored.

There was a deliberate race condition in dm_stat_for_entry() to avoid the
overhead of disabling and enabling interrupts. The race could result in
some events not being counted on 64-bit architectures.
However, on 32-bit architectures, operations on long long variables are
not atomic, so the race condition could cause the counter to jump by 2^32.
Such jumps could be disruptive, so we need to do proper locking on 32-bit
architectures.

Support the collection of I/O statistics on user-defined regions of
a DM device. If no regions are defined no statistics are collected so
there isn't any performance impact. Only bio-based DM devices are
currently supported.
Each user-defined region specifies a starting sector, length and step.
Individual statistics will be collected for each step-sized area within
the range specified.
The I/O statistics counters for each step-sized area of a region are
in the same format as /sys/block/*/stat or /proc/diskstats but extra
counters (12 and 13) are provided: total time spent reading and
writing in milliseconds. All these counters may be accessed by sending
the @stats_print message to the appropriate DM device via dmsetup.
The creation of DM statistics will allocate memory via kmalloc or
fallback to using vmalloc space. At most, 1/4 of the overall system
memory may be allocated by DM statistics. The admin can see how much
memory is used by reading
/sys/module/dm_mod/parameters/stats_current_allocated_bytes
See Documentation/device-mapper/statistics.txt for more details.
