The Stochastic multiqueue (SMQ) policy (vs MQ) offers the promise of
less memory utilization, improved performance and increased adaptability
in the face of changing workloads. SMQ also does not have any
cumbersome tuning knobs.
Users may switch from "mq" to "smq" simply by appropriately reloading a
DM table that is using the cache target. Doing so will cause all of the
mq policy's hints to be dropped. Also, performance of the cache may
degrade slightly until smq recalculates the origin device's hotspots
that should be cached.
In the future the "mq" policy will just silently make use of "smq" and
the mq code will be removed.

The metadata space map has a simplified 'bootstrap' mode that is
operational when extending the space maps. Whilst in this mode it's
possible for some refcount decrement operations to become queued (eg, as
a result of shadowing one of the bitmap indexes). These decrements were
not being applied when switching out of bootstrap mode.
The effect of this bug was the leaking of a 4k metadata block. This is
detected by the latest version of thin_check as a non fatal error.

Previously REQ_DISCARD bios have been split into block sized chunks
before submission to the thin target. There are a couple of issues with
this:
- If the block size is small, a large discard request can
get broken up into a great many bios which is both slow and causes
a lot of memory pressure.
- The thin pool block size and the discard granularity for the
underlying data device need to be compatible if we want to passdown
the discard.
This patch relaxes the block size granularity for thin devices. It
makes use of the recent range locking added to the bio_prison to
quiesce a whole range of thin blocks before unmapping them. Once a
thin range has been unmapped the discard can then be passed down to
the data device for those sub ranges where the data blocks are no
longer used (ie. they weren't shared in the first place).
This patch also doesn't make any apologies about open-coding portions
of block core as a means to supporting async discard completions in the
near-term -- if/when late bio splitting lands it'll all get cleaned up.

The policy tick() method is normally called from interrupt context.
Both the mq and smq policies do some bottom half work for the tick
method in their map functions. However if no IO is going through the
cache, then that bottom half work doesn't occur. With these policies
this means recently hit entries do not age and do not get written
back as early as we'd like.
Fix this by introducing a new 'can_block' parameter to the tick()
method. When this is set the bottom half work occurs immediately.
'can_block' is set when the tick method is called every second by the
core target (not in interrupt context).

If a cache metadata operation fails (e.g. transaction commit) the
cache's metadata device will abort the current transaction, set a new
needs_check flag, and the cache will transition to "read-only" mode. If
aborting the transaction or setting the needs_check flag fails the cache
will transition to "fail-io" mode.
Once needs_check is set the cache device will not be allowed to
activate. Activation requires write access to metadata. Future work is
needed to add proper support for running the cache in read-only mode.
Once in fail-io mode the cache will report a status of "Fail".
Also, add commit() wrapper that will disallow commits if in read_only or
fail mode.

The stochastic-multi-queue (smq) policy addresses some of the problems
with the current multiqueue (mq) policy.
Memory usage
------------
The mq policy uses a lot of memory; 88 bytes per cache block on a 64
bit machine.
SMQ uses 28bit indexes to implement it's data structures rather than
pointers. It avoids storing an explicit hit count for each block. It
has a 'hotspot' queue rather than a pre cache which uses a quarter of
the entries (each hotspot block covers a larger area than a single
cache block).
All these mean smq uses ~25bytes per cache block. Still a lot of
memory, but a substantial improvement nontheless.
Level balancing
---------------
MQ places entries in different levels of the multiqueue structures
based on their hit count (~ln(hit count)). This means the bottom
levels generally have the most entries, and the top ones have very
few. Having unbalanced levels like this reduces the efficacy of the
multiqueue.
SMQ does not maintain a hit count, instead it swaps hit entries with
the least recently used entry from the level above. The over all
ordering being a side effect of this stochastic process. With this
scheme we can decide how many entries occupy each multiqueue level,
resulting in better promotion/demotion decisions.
Adaptability
------------
The MQ policy maintains a hit count for each cache block. For a
different block to get promoted to the cache it's hit count has to
exceed the lowest currently in the cache. This means it can take a
long time for the cache to adapt between varying IO patterns.
Periodically degrading the hit counts could help with this, but I
haven't found a nice general solution.
SMQ doesn't maintain hit counts, so a lot of this problem just goes
away. In addition it tracks performance of the hotspot queue, which
is used to decide which blocks to promote. If the hotspot queue is
performing badly then it starts moving entries more quickly between
levels. This lets it adapt to new IO patterns very quickly.
Performance
-----------
In my tests SMQ shows substantially better performance than MQ. Once
this matures a bit more I'm sure it'll become the default policy.

Currently individual bios are deferred to the worker thread if they
cannot be processed immediately (eg, a block is in the process of
being moved to the fast device).
This patch passes whole cells across to the worker. This saves
reaquiring the cell, and also collects bios destined for the same block
together, which allows them to be mapped with a single look up to the

though between releasing an empty cell, and other threads adding new
inmates. So this function makes the decision with its lock held.
This function can have two outcomes:
i) An inmate is promoted to be the holder of the cell (return value of 0).
ii) The cell has no inmate for promotion and is released (return value of 1).

There is a race between a policy deciding to replace a cache entry,
the core target writing back any dirty data from this block, and other
IO threads doing IO to the same block.
This sort of problem is avoided most of the time by the core target
grabbing a bio prison cell before making the request to the policy.
But for a demotion the core target doesn't know which block will be
demoted, so can't do this in advance.
Fix this demotion race by introducing a callback to the policy interface
that allows the policy to grab the cell on behalf of the core target.

- add type definition to raid_types array
- make bitmap creation conditonal in super_validate(), because
bitmaps are not allowed in raid0
- set rdev->sectors to the data image size in super_validate()
to allow the raid0 personality to calculate the MD array
size properly
- use mdddev(un)lock() functions instead of direct mutex_(un)lock()
(wrapped in here because it's a trivial change)
- enhance raid_status() to always report full sync for raid0
so that userspace checks for 100% sync will succeed and allow
for resize (and takeover/reshape once added in future paches)
- enhance raid_resume() to not load bitmap in case of raid0
- add merge function to avoid data corruption (seen with readahead)
that resulted from bio payloads that grew too large. This problem
did not occur with the other raid levels because it either did not
apply without striping (raid1) or was avoided via stripe caching.

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.

Such a mapping can be used to release underlying devices while still
