This reverts commit 9a0e609e3f.
(Resolved a conflict during revert due to commit bfebd1cdb4 that came
after)
This revert is motivated by a couple failure reports on request-based DM
multipath testbeds:
1) Netapp reported that their multipath fault injection test under heavy
IO load can stall longer than 300 seconds.
2) IBM reported elevated lock contention in their testbed (likely due to
increased back pressure due to IO not being dispatched as quickly):

Justification for revert as reported in this dm-devel post:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-June/msg00160.html
this change should not be pushed to mainline yet.
Firstly, Christoph has a newer version of the patch that fixes silent
data corruption problem:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-May/msg00229.html
And the new version still depends on LLDDs to always complete requests
to the end when error happens, while block API doesn't enforce such a
requirement. If the assumption is ever broken, the inconsistency between
request and bio (e.g. rq->__sector and rq->bio) will cause silent data
corruption:

Currently, a bdi (backing_dev_info) embeds single wb (bdi_writeback)
and the role of the separation is unclear. For cgroup support for
writeback IOs, a bdi will be updated to host multiple wb's where each
wb serves writeback IOs of a different cgroup on the bdi. To achieve
that, a wb should carry all states necessary for servicing writeback
IOs for a cgroup independently.
This patch moves bdi->state into wb.
* enum bdi_state is renamed to wb_state and the prefix of all enums is
changed from BDI_ to WB_.
* Explicit zeroing of bdi->state is removed without adding zeoring of
wb->state as the whole data structure is zeroed on init anyway.
* As there's still only one bdi_writeback per backing_dev_info, all
uses of bdi->state are mechanically replaced with bdi->wb.state
introducing no behavior changes.

dm_merge_bvec() was originally added in f6fccb ("dm: introduce
merge_bvec_fn"). In that commit a value in sectors is converted to
bytes using << 9, and then assigned to an int. This code made
assumptions about the value of BIO_MAX_SECTORS.
A later commit 148e51 ("dm: improve documentation and code clarity in
dm_merge_bvec") was meant to have no functional change but it removed
the use of BIO_MAX_SECTORS in favor of using queue_max_sectors(). At
this point the cast from sector_t to int resulted in a zero value. The
fallout being dm_merge_bvec() would only allow a single page to be added
to a bio.
This interim fix is minimal for the benefit of stable@ because the more
comprehensive cleanup of passing a sector_t to all DM targets' merge
function will impact quite a few DM targets.

When stacking request-based dm device on non blk-mq device and
device-mapper target could not map the request (error target is used,
multipath target with all paths down, etc), the WARN_ON_ONCE() in
free_rq_clone() will trigger when it shouldn't.
The warning was added by commit aa6df8d ("dm: fix free_rq_clone() NULL
pointer when requeueing unmapped request"). But free_rq_clone() with
clone->q == NULL is valid usage for the case where
dm_kill_unmapped_request() initiates request cleanup.
Fix this false warning by just removing the WARN_ON -- it only generated
false positives and was never useful in catching the intended case
(completing clone request not being mapped e.g. clone->q being NULL).

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().

Currently dm-multipath has to clone the bios for every request sent
to the lower devices, which wastes cpu cycles and ties down memory.
This patch instead adds a new REQ_CLONE flag that instructs req_bio_endio
to not complete bios attached to a request, which we set on clone
requests similar to bios in a flush sequence. With this change I/O
errors on a path failure only get propagated to dm-multipath, which
can then either resubmit the I/O or complete the bios on the original
request.
I've done some basic testing of this on a Linux target with ALUA support,
and it survives path failures during I/O nicely.

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.

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.

Add device specific modes to dm-verity to specify how corrupted

- 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.

completions of bios in a cloned request).
Also prepare for supporting DM blk-mq ontop of old-style request_fn

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."

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.

anyway.
Cleanup dm_init_md_queue() to be DM device-type agnostic and have
dm_setup_md_queue() properly finish queue setup based on DM device-type
(bio-based vs request-based).
A followup block patch can be made to remove the export for
blk_queue_bio() now that DM no longer calls it directly.

DM multipath is the only caller of blk_lld_busy() -- which calls a
queue's lld_busy_fn hook. Request-based DM doesn't support stacking
multipath devices so there is no reason to register the lld_busy_fn hook
on a multipath device's queue using blk_queue_lld_busy().
As such, remove functions dm_lld_busy and dm_table_any_busy_target.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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")
attempted to handle multiple internal suspends on the same device, but
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_suspend_noflush
dm_internal_resume
Fix this bug by maintaining an 'internal_suspend_count' and resuming
the device when this count drops to zero.
