Mike Snitzer 145b9006a0 dm space map disk: fix sm_disk_count_is_more_than_one()
dm_tm_shadow_block() is the only caller of
dm_sm_count_is_more_than_one() which only ever operates on a metadata
space-map.  So in practice, sm_disk_count_is_more_than_one() isn't
actually used (which explains why this bug never amounted to anything).

But fix sm_disk_count_is_more_than_one() to properly set *result and
return 0.

Joe Thornber 9b460d3699 dm btree: fix a recursion depth bug in btree walking code
The walk code was using a 'ro_spine' to hold it's locked btree nodes.
But this data structure is designed for the rolling lock scheme, and
as such automatically unlocks blocks that are two steps up the call
chain.  This is not suitable for the simple recursive walk algorithm,
which retraces its steps.

This code is only used by the persistent array code, which in turn is
only used by dm-cache.  In order to trigger it you need to have a
mapping tree that is more than 2 levels deep; which equates to 8-16
million cache blocks.  For instance a 4T ssd with a very small block
size of 32k only just triggers this bug.

The fix just places the locked blocks on the stack, and stops using
the ro_spine altogether.

Joe Thornber a9d45396f5 dm transaction manager: fix corruption due to non-atomic transaction commit
The persistent-data library used by dm-thin, dm-cache, etc is
transactional.  If anything goes wrong, such as an io error when writing
new metadata or a power failure, then we roll back to the last
transaction.

Atomicity when committing a transaction is achieved by:

a) Never overwriting data from the previous transaction.
b) Writing the superblock last, after all other metadata has hit the
   disk.

This commit and the following commit ("dm: take care to copy the space
map roots before locking the superblock") fix a bug associated with (b).
When committing it was possible for the superblock to still be written
in spite of an io error occurring during the preceeding metadata flush.
With these commits we're careful not to take the write lock out on the
superblock until after the metadata flush has completed.

Change the transaction manager's semantics for dm_tm_commit() to assume
all data has been flushed _before_ the single superblock that is passed
in.

As a prerequisite, split the block manager's block unlocking and
flushing by simplifying dm_bm_flush_and_unlock() to dm_bm_flush().  Now
the unlocking must be done separately.

This issue was discovered by forcing io errors at the crucial time
using dm-flakey.

Joe Thornber cebc2de44d dm space map metadata: fix refcount decrement below 0 which caused corruption
This has been a relatively long-standing issue that wasn't nailed down
until Teng-Feng Yang's meticulous bug report to dm-devel on 3/7/2014,
see: http://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2014-March/msg00021.html

From that report:
  "When decreasing the reference count of a metadata block with its
  reference count equals 3, we will call dm_btree_remove() to remove
  this enrty from the B+tree which keeps the reference count info in
  metadata device.

  The B+tree will try to rebalance the entry of the child nodes in each
  node it traversed, and the rebalance process contains the following
  steps.

  (1) Finding the corresponding children in current node (shadow_current(s))
  (2) Shadow the children block (issue BOP_INC)
  (3) redistribute keys among children, and free children if necessary (issue BOP_DEC)

  Since the update of a metadata block's reference count could be
  recursive, we will stash these reference count update operations in
  smm->uncommitted and then process them in a FILO fashion.

  The problem is that step(3) could free the children which is created
  in step(2), so the BOP_DEC issued in step(3) will be carried out
  before the BOP_INC issued in step(2) since these BOPs will be
  processed in FILO fashion. Once the BOP_DEC from step(3) tries to
  decrease the reference count of newly shadow block, it will report
  failure for its reference equals 0 before decreasing. It looks like we
  can solve this issue by processing these BOPs in a FIFO fashion
  instead of FILO."

Commit 5b564d80 ("dm space map: disallow decrementing a reference count
below zero") changed the code to report an error for this temporary
refcount decrement below zero.  So what was previously a harmless
invalid refcount became a hard failure due to the new error path:

 device-mapper: space map common: unable to decrement a reference count below 0
 device-mapper: thin: 253:6: dm_thin_insert_block() failed: error = -22
 device-mapper: thin: 253:6: switching pool to read-only mode

This bug is in dm persistent-data code that is common to the DM thin and
cache targets.  So any users of those targets should apply this fix.

Fix this by applying recursive space map operations in FIFO order rather
than FILO.

Mike Snitzer 7d48935eff dm thin: allow metadata space larger than supported to go unused
It was always intended that a user could provide a thin metadata device
that is larger than the max supported by the on-disk format.  The extra
space would just go unused.

Unfortunately that never worked.  If the user attempted to use a larger
metadata device on creation they would get an error like the following:

 device-mapper: space map common: space map too large
 device-mapper: transaction manager: couldn't create metadata space map
 device-mapper: thin metadata: tm_create_with_sm failed
 device-mapper: table: 252:17: thin-pool: Error creating metadata object
 device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table

Fix this by allowing the initial metadata space map creation to cap its
size at the max number of blocks supported (DM_SM_METADATA_MAX_BLOCKS).
get_metadata_dev_size() must also impose DM_SM_METADATA_MAX_BLOCKS (via
THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS), otherwise extending metadata would cap at
THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS_WARNING (which is larger than supported).

Also, the calculation for THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS didn't account for
the sizeof the disk_bitmap_header.  So the supported maximum metadata
size is a bit smaller (reduced from 33423360 to 33292800 sectors).

Lastly, remove the "excess space will not be used" warning message from
get_metadata_dev_size(); it resulted in printing the warning multiple
times.  Factor out warn_if_metadata_device_too_big(), call it from
pool_ctr() and maybe_resize_metadata_dev().

Joe Thornber fca028438f dm space map metadata: fix bug in resizing of thin metadata
This bug was introduced in commit 7e664b3dec ("dm space map metadata:
fix extending the space map").

When extending a dm-thin metadata volume we:

- Switch the space map into a simple bootstrap mode, which allocates
  all space linearly from the newly added space.
- Add new bitmap entries for the new space
- Increment the reference counts for those newly allocated bitmap
  entries
- Commit changes to disk
- Switch back out of bootstrap mode.

But, the disk commit may allocate space itself, if so this fact will be
lost when switching out of bootstrap mode.

The bug exhibited itself as an error when the bitmap_root, with an
erroneous ref count of 0, was subsequently decremented as part of a
later disk commit.  This would cause the disk commit to fail, and thinp
to enter read_only mode.  The metadata was not damaged (thin_check
passed).

The fix is to put the increments + commit into a loop, running until
the commit has not allocated extra space.  In practise this loop only
runs twice.

With this fix the following device mapper testsuite test passes:
 dmtest run --suite thin-provisioning -n thin_remove_works_after_resize

Joe Thornber 7e664b3dec dm space map metadata: fix extending the space map
When extending a metadata space map we should do the first commit whilst
still in bootstrap mode -- a mode where all blocks get allocated in the
new area.

That way the commit overhead is allocated from the newly added space.
Otherwise we risk running out of space.

Joe Thornber 5b564d80f8 dm space map: disallow decrementing a reference count below zero
The old behaviour, returning -EINVAL if a ref_count of 0 would be
decremented, was removed in commit f722063 ("dm space map: optimise
sm_ll_dec and sm_ll_inc").  To fix this regression we return an error
code from the mutator function pointer passed to sm_ll_mutate() and have
dec_ref_count() return -EINVAL if the old ref_count is 0.

Add a DMERR to reflect the potential seriousness of this error.

Also, add missing dm_tm_unlock() to sm_ll_mutate()'s error path.

Joe Thornber f722063ee0 dm space map: optimise sm_ll_dec and sm_ll_inc
Prior to this patch these methods did a lookup followed by an insert.
Instead they now call a common mutate function that adjusts the value
according to a callback function.  This avoids traversing the data
structures twice and hence improves performance.

Also factor out sm_ll_lookup_big_ref_count() for use by both
sm_ll_lookup() and sm_ll_mutate().

Joe Thornber f046f89a99 dm thin: fix discard corruption
Fix a bug in dm_btree_remove that could leave leaf values with incorrect
reference counts.  The effect of this was that removal of a shared block
could result in the space maps thinking the block was no longer used.
More concretely, if you have a thin device and a snapshot of it, sending
a discard to a shared region of the thin could corrupt the snapshot.

Thinp uses a 2-level nested btree to store it's mappings.  This first
level is indexed by thin device, and the second level by logical
block.

Often when we're removing an entry in this mapping tree we need to
rebalance nodes, which can involve shadowing them, possibly creating a
copy if the block is shared.  If we do create a copy then children of
that node need to have their reference counts incremented.  In this
way reference counts percolate down the tree as shared trees diverge.

The rebalance functions were incrementing the children at the
appropriate time, but they were always assuming the children were
internal nodes.  This meant the leaf values (in our case packed
block/flags entries) were not being incremented.

Sasha Levin b67bfe0d42 hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived

        list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)

The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:

        hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)

Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.

Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:

 - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
 - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
 - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
 was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
 - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
 properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

Switch from kmalloc to vmalloc to allow larger virtually contiguous
allocations for the space map checker's internal count arrays.

Mike Snitzer 62662303e7 dm persistent data: handle space map checker creation failure
If CONFIG_DM_DEBUG_SPACE_MAPS is enabled and dm_sm_checker_create()
fails, dm_tm_create_internal() would still return success even though it
cleaned up all resources it was supposed to have created.  This will
lead to a kernel crash:

IS_ERR.

Joe Thornber cc8394d86f dm thin: provide userspace access to pool metadata
This patch implements two new messages that can be sent to the thin
pool target allowing it to take a snapshot of the _metadata_.  This,
read-only snapshot can be accessed by userland, concurrently with the
live target.

Only one metadata snapshot can be held at a time.  The pool's status
line will give the block location for the current msnap.

Since version 0.1.5 of the userland thin provisioning tools, the
thin_dump program displays the msnap as follows:

    thin_dump -m <msnap root> <metadata dev>

Available here: https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools

Now that userland can access the metadata we can do various things
that have traditionally been kernel side tasks:

     i) Incremental backups.

     By using metadata snapshots we can work out what blocks have
     changed over time.  Combined with data snapshots we can ensure
     the data doesn't change while we back it up.

     A short proof of concept script can be found here:

     https://github.com/jthornber/thinp-test-suite/blob/master/incremental_backup_example.rb

     ii) Migration of thin devices from one pool to another.

     iii) Merging snapshots back into an external origin.

     iv) Asyncronous replication.

Joe Thornber 71fd5ae25d dm persistent data: remove space map ref_count entries if redundant
Save space by removing entries from the space map ref_count tree if
they're no longer needed.

Ref counts are stored in two places: a bitmap if the ref_count is
below 3, or a btree of uint32_t if 3 or above.

When a ref_count that was above 3 drops below we can remove it from
the tree and save some metadata space.  This removal was commented out
before because I was unsure why this was causing under-populated btree
nodes.  Earlier patches have fixed this issue.

Joe Thornber a3aefb395e dm persistent data: remove redundant value_size arg from value_ptr
Now that the value_size is held within every node of the btrees we can
remove this argument from value_ptr().

For the last few months a BUG_ON has been checking this argument is
the same as that held in the node.  No issues were reported.  So this
is a safe change.

Joe Thornber b0988900ba dm persistent data: fix btree rebalancing after remove
When we remove an entry from a node we sometimes rebalance with it's
two neighbours.  This wasn't being done correctly; in some cases
entries have to move all the way from the right neighbour to the left
neighbour, or vice versa.  This patch pretty much re-writes the
balancing code to fix it.

This code is barely used currently; only when you delete a thin
device, and then only if you have hundreds of them in the same pool.
Once we have discard support, which removes mappings, this will be used
much more heavily.

and management of on-disk metadata in device-mapper targets.

It's used by the thin-provisioning target in the next patch and in an
upcoming hierarchical storage target.
