DM cache now defaults to passing discards down to the origin device.
User may disable this using the "no_discard_passdown" feature when
creating the cache device.
If the cache's underlying origin device doesn't support discards then
passdown is disabled (with warning). Similarly, if the underlying
origin device's max_discard_sectors is less than a cache block discard
passdown will be disabled (this is required because sizing of the cache
internal discard bitset depends on it).

Add a "create" module parameter, which allows device-mapper targets to
be configured at boot time. This enables early use of DM targets in the
boot process (as the root device or otherwise) without the need of an
initramfs.
The syntax used in the boot param is based on the concise format from
the dmsetup tool to follow the rule of least surprise:
dmsetup table --concise /dev/mapper/lroot
Which is:
dm-mod.create=<name>,<uuid>,<minor>,<flags>,<table>[,<table>+][;<name>,<uuid>,<minor>,<flags>,<table>[,<table>+]+]
Where,
<name> ::= The device name.
<uuid> ::= xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx | ""
<minor> ::= The device minor number | ""
<flags> ::= "ro" | "rw"
<table> ::= <start_sector> <num_sectors> <target_type> <target_args>
<target_type> ::= "verity" | "linear" | ...
For example, the following could be added in the boot parameters:
dm-mod.create="lroot,,,rw, 0 4096 linear 98:16 0, 4096 4096 linear 98:32 0" root=/dev/dm-0
Only the targets that were tested are allowed and the ones that don't
change any block device when the device is create as read-only. For
example, mirror and cache targets are not allowed. The rationale behind
this is that if the user makes a mistake, choosing the wrong device to
be the mirror or the cache can corrupt data.
The only targets initially allowed are:
* crypt
* delay
* linear
* snapshot-origin
* striped
* verity

The metadata low watermark threshold is set by the kernel. But the
kernel depends on userspace to extend the thinpool metadata device when
the threshold is crossed.
Since the metadata low watermark threshold is not visible to userspace,
upon receiving an event, userspace cannot tell that the kernel wants the
metadata device extended, instead of some other eventing condition.
Making it visible (but not settable) enables userspace to affirmatively
know the kernel is asking for a metadata device extension, by comparing
metadata_low_watermark against nr_free_blocks_metadata, also reported in
status.
Current solutions like dmeventd have their own thresholds for extending
the data and metadata devices, and both devices are checked against
their thresholds on each event. This lessens the value of the kernel-set
threshold, since userspace will either extend the metadata device sooner,
when receiving another event; or will receive the metadata lowater event
and do nothing, if dmeventd's threshold is less than the kernel's.
(This second case is dangerous. The metadata lowater event will not be
re-sent, so no further event will be generated before the metadata
device is out if space, unless some other event causes userspace to
recheck its thresholds.)

This allows platforms that are CPU/memory contrained to verify data
blocks only the first time they are read from the data device, rather
than every time. As such, it provides a reduced level of security
because only offline tampering of the data device's content will be
detected, not online tampering.
Hash blocks are still verified each time they are read from the hash
device, since verification of hash blocks is less performance critical
than data blocks, and a hash block will not be verified any more after
all the data blocks it covers have been verified anyway.
This option introduces a bitset that is used to check if a block has
been validated before or not. A block can be validated more than once
as there is no thread protection for the bitset.

devices.

In order to avoid redoing synchronization/recovery/reshape partially,
the raid set got frozen until after all passed in table line flags had
been cleared. The related table reload sequence had to be precisely
followed, or reshaping may lead to data corruption caused by the active
mapping carrying on with a reshape when the inactive mapping already
had retrieved a stale reshape position.
Harden by retrieving the actual resync/recovery/reshape position
during resume whilst the active table is suspended thus avoiding
to keep the raid set frozen altogether. This prevents superfluous
redoing of an already resynchronized or recovered segment and,
most importantly, potential for redoing of an already reshaped
segment causing data corruption.

There are three important fields that indicate the overall health and
status of an array: dev_health, sync_ratio, and sync_action. They tell
us the condition of the devices in the array, and the degree to which
the array is synchronized.
This commit fixes a condition that is reported incorrectly. When a member
of the array is being rebuilt or a new device is added, the "recover"
process is used to synchronize it with the rest of the array. When the
process is complete, but the sync thread hasn't yet been reaped, it is
possible for the state of MD to be:
mddev->recovery = [ MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING MD_RECOVERY_RECOVER MD_RECOVERY_DONE ]
curr_resync_completed = <max dev size> (but not MaxSector)
and all rdevs to be In_sync.
This causes the 'array_in_sync' output parameter that is passed to
rs_get_progress() to be computed incorrectly and reported as 'false' --
or not in-sync. This in turn causes the dev_health status characters to
be reported as all 'a', rather than the proper 'A'.
This can cause erroneous output for several seconds at a time when tools
will want to be checking the condition due to events that are raised at
the end of a sync process. Fix this by properly calculating the
'array_in_sync' return parameter in rs_get_progress().
Also, remove an unnecessary intermediate 'recovery_cp' variable in
rs_get_progress().

The dm-zoned device mapper target provides transparent write access
to zoned block devices (ZBC and ZAC compliant block devices).
dm-zoned hides to the device user (a file system or an application
doing raw block device accesses) any constraint imposed on write
requests by the device, equivalent to a drive-managed zoned block
device model.
Write requests are processed using a combination of on-disk buffering
using the device conventional zones and direct in-place processing for
requests aligned to a zone sequential write pointer position.
A background reclaim process implemented using dm_kcopyd_copy ensures
that conventional zones are always available for executing unaligned
write requests. The reclaim process overhead is minimized by managing
buffer zones in a least-recently-written order and first targeting the
oldest buffer zones. Doing so, blocks under regular write access (such
as metadata blocks of a file system) remain stored in conventional
zones, resulting in no apparent overhead.
dm-zoned implementation focus on simplicity and on minimizing overhead
(CPU, memory and storage overhead). For a 14TB host-managed disk with
256 MB zones, dm-zoned memory usage per disk instance is at most about
3 MB and as little as 5 zones will be used internally for storing metadata
and performing buffer zone reclaim operations. This is achieved using
zone level indirection rather than a full block indirection system for
managing block movement between zones.
dm-zoned primary target is host-managed zoned block devices but it can
also be used with host-aware device models to mitigate potential
device-side performance degradation due to excessive random writing.
Zoned block devices can be formatted and checked for use with the dm-zoned
target using the dmzadm utility available at:

The DM integrity block size can now be 512, 1k, 2k or 4k. Using larger
blocks reduces metadata handling overhead. The block size can be
configured at table load time using the "block_size:<value>" option;
where <value> is expressed in bytes (defult is still 512 bytes).
It is safe to use larger block sizes with DM integrity, because the
DM integrity journal makes sure that the whole block is updated
atomically even if the underlying device doesn't support atomic writes
of that size (e.g. 4k block ontop of a 512b device).

device's cache mode between write-through (the current default) and
write-back.
NOTE: If the journal device is not layered on resilent storage and it
fails, write-through mode will cause the "write hole" to reoccur. But
if the journal fails while in write-back mode it will cause data loss
for any dirty cache entries unless resilent storage is used for the
journal.

Parameter can be in range 512 - 4096 bytes and must be power of two.
For compatibility reasons, the maximal IO must fit into the page limit,
so the limit is set to the minimal page size possible (4096 bytes).
NOTE: this device cannot yet be handled by cryptsetup if this parameter
is set.
IV for the sector is calculated from the 512 bytes sector offset unless
the iv_large_sectors option is used.
Test script using dmsetup:
DEV="/dev/sdb"
DEV_SIZE=$(blockdev --getsz $DEV)

For the new authenticated encryption we have to support generic composed
modes (combination of encryption algorithm and authenticator) because
this is how the kernel crypto API accesses such algorithms.
To simplify the interface, we accept an algorithm directly in crypto API
format. The new format is recognised by the "capi:" prefix. The
dmcrypt internal IV specification is the same as for the old format.
The crypto API cipher specifications format is:
capi:cipher_api_spec-ivmode[:ivopts]
Examples:
capi:cbc(aes)-essiv:sha256 (equivalent to old aes-cbc-essiv:sha256)
capi:xts(aes)-plain64 (equivalent to old aes-xts-plain64)
Examples of authenticated modes:
capi:gcm(aes)-random
capi:authenc(hmac(sha256),xts(aes))-random
capi:rfc7539(chacha20,poly1305)-random
Authenticated modes can only be configured using the new cipher format.
Note that this format allows user to specify arbitrary combinations that
can be insecure. (Policy decision is done in cryptsetup userspace.)
Authenticated encryption algorithms can be of two types, either native
modes (like GCM) that performs both encryption and authentication
internally, or composed modes where user can compose AEAD with separate
specification of encryption algorithm and authenticator.
For composed mode with HMAC (length-preserving encryption mode like an
XTS and HMAC as an authenticator) we have to calculate HMAC digest size
(the separate authentication key is the same size as the HMAC digest).
Introduce crypt_ctr_auth_cipher() to parse the crypto API string to get
HMAC algorithm and retrieve digest size from it.
Also, for HMAC composed mode we need to parse the crypto API string to
get the cipher mode nested in the specification. For native AEAD mode
(like GCM), we can use crypto_tfm_alg_name() API to get the cipher
specification.
Because the HMAC composed mode is not processed the same as the native
AEAD mode, the CRYPT_MODE_INTEGRITY_HMAC flag is no longer needed and
"hmac" specification for the table integrity argument is removed.

Allow the use of per-sector metadata, provided by the dm-integrity
module, for integrity protection and persistently stored per-sector
Initialization Vector (IV). The underlying device must support the
"DM-DIF-EXT-TAG" dm-integrity profile.
The per-bio integrity metadata is allocated by dm-crypt for every bio.

Both AEAD and HMAC protection authenticates not only data but also
sector metadata.
HMAC protection is implemented through autenc wrapper (so it is
processed the same way as an authenticated mode).
In HMAC mode there are two keys (concatenated in dm-crypt mapping
table). First is the encryption key and the second is the key for
authentication (HMAC). (It is userspace decision if these keys are
independent or somehow derived.)
The sector request for AEAD/HMAC authenticated encryption looks like this:
|----- AAD -------|------ DATA -------|-- AUTH TAG --|
| (authenticated) | (auth+encryption) | |
| sector_LE | IV | sector in/out | tag in/out |
For writes, the integrity fields are calculated during AEAD encryption
of every sector and stored in bio integrity fields and sent to
underlying dm-integrity target for storage.
For reads, the integrity metadata is verified during AEAD decryption of
every sector (they are filled in by dm-integrity, but the integrity
fields are pre-allocated in dm-crypt).
There is also an experimental support in cryptsetup utility for more
friendly configuration (part of LUKS2 format).
Because the integrity fields are not valid on initial creation, the
device must be "formatted". This can be done by direct-io writes to the
device (e.g. dd in direct-io mode). For now, there is available trivial
tool to do this, see: https://github.com/mbroz/dm_int_tools

The dm-integrity target emulates a block device that has additional
per-sector tags that can be used for storing integrity information.
A general problem with storing integrity tags with every sector is that
writing the sector and the integrity tag must be atomic - i.e. in case of
crash, either both sector and integrity tag or none of them is written.
To guarantee write atomicity the dm-integrity target uses a journal. It
writes sector data and integrity tags into a journal, commits the journal
and then copies the data and integrity tags to their respective location.
The dm-integrity target can be used with the dm-crypt target - in this
situation the dm-crypt target creates the integrity data and passes them
to the dm-integrity target via bio_integrity_payload attached to the bio.
In this mode, the dm-crypt and dm-integrity targets provide authenticated
disk encryption - if the attacker modifies the encrypted device, an I/O
error is returned instead of random data.
The dm-integrity target can also be used as a standalone target, in this
mode it calculates and verifies the integrity tag internally. In this
mode, the dm-integrity target can be used to detect silent data
corruption on the disk or in the I/O path.

Add md raid4/5/6 journaling support (upstream commit bac624f3f8 started
the implementation) which closes the write hole (i.e. non-atomic updates
to stripes) using a dedicated journal device.
Background:
raid4/5/6 stripes hold N data payloads per stripe plus one parity raid4/5
or two raid6 P/Q syndrome payloads in an in-memory stripe cache.
Parity or P/Q syndromes used to recover any data payloads in case of a disk
failure are calculated from the N data payloads and need to be updated on the
different component devices of the raid device. Those are non-atomic,
persistent updates. Hence a crash can cause failure to update all stripe
payloads persistently and thus cause data loss during stripe recovery.
This problem gets addressed by writing whole stripe cache entries (together with
journal metadata) to a persistent journal entry on a dedicated journal device.
Only if that journal entry is written successfully, the stripe cache entry is
updated on the component devices of the raid device (i.e. writethrough type).
In case of a crash, the entry can be recovered from the journal and be written
again thus ensuring consistent stripe payload suitable to data recovery.
Future dependencies:
once writeback caching being worked on to compensate for the throughput
implictions involved with writethrough overhead is supported with journaling
in upstream, an additional patch based on this one will support it in dm-raid.
Journal resilience related remarks:
because stripes are recovered from the journal in case of a crash, the
journal device better be resilient. Resilience becomes mandatory with
future writeback support, because loosing the working set in the log
means data loss as oposed to writethrough, were the loss of the
journal device 'only' reintroduces the write hole.
Fix comment on data offsets in parse_dev_params() and initialize
new_data_offset as well.

This fix addresses the following 3 failure scenarios:
1) If a (transiently) inaccessible metadata device is being passed into the
constructor (e.g. a device tuple '254:4 254:5'), it is processed as if
'- -' was given. This erroneously results in a status table line containing
'- -', which mistakenly differs from what has been passed in. As a result,
userspace libdevmapper puts the device tuple seperate from the RAID device
thus not processing the dependencies properly.
2) False health status char 'A' instead of 'D' is emitted on the status
status info line for the meta/data device tuple in this metadata device
failure case.
3) If the metadata device is accessible when passed into the constructor
but the data device (partially) isn't, that leg may be set faulty by the
raid personality on access to the (partially) unavailable leg. Restore
tried in a second raid device resume on such failed leg (status char 'D')
fails after the (partial) leg returned.
Fixes for aforementioned failure scenarios:
- don't release passed in devices in the constructor thus allowing the
status table line to e.g. contain '254:4 254:5' rather than '- -'
- emit device status char 'D' rather than 'A' for the device tuple
with the failed metadata device on the status info line
- when attempting to restore faulty devices in a second resume, allow the
device hot remove function to succeed by setting the device to not in-sync
In case userspace intentionally passes '- -' into the constructor to avoid that
device tuple (e.g. to split off a raid1 leg temporarily for later re-addition),
the status table line will correctly show '- -' and the status info line will
provide a '-' device health character for the non-defined device tuple.

--getsize
Print device size (32-bit!) in sectors.
Deprecated in favor of the --getsz option.
...
--getsz
Get size in 512-byte sectors.
Hence, occurrences of `--getsize' should be replaced with `--getsz',

The kernel key service is a generic way to store keys for the use of
other subsystems. Currently there is no way to use kernel keys in dm-crypt.
This patch aims to fix that. Instead of key userspace may pass a key
description with preceding ':'. So message that constructs encryption
mapping now looks like this:
<cipher> [<key>|:<key_string>] <iv_offset> <dev_path> <start> [<#opt_params> <opt_params>]
where <key_string> is in format: <key_size>:<key_type>:<key_description>
Currently we only support two elementary key types: 'user' and 'logon'.
Keys may be loaded in dm-crypt either via <key_string> or using
classical method and pass the key in hex representation directly.
dm-crypt device initialised with a key passed in hex representation may be
replaced with key passed in key_string format and vice versa.
