fe76cd88e6 dm thin: fix dangling bio in process_deferred_bios error path
If unable to ensure_next_mapping() we must add the current bio, which
was removed from the @bios list via bio_list_pop, back to the
deferred_bios list before all the remaining @bios.

The warning message "Unrecognised multipath message received" is
displayed in two different situations in multipath_message(): when the
number of arguments passed is invalid and when the string passed in
argv[0] is not recognized.

Make it easier to identify where the problem is by making these warnings
more specific with additional context for each case.

3e9f1be1b4 dm mpath: remove process_queued_ios()
process_queued_ios() has served 3 functions:
  1) select pg and pgpath if none is selected
  2) start pg_init if requested
  3) dispatch queued IOs when pg is ready

Basically, a call to queue_work(process_queued_ios) can be replaced by
dm_table_run_md_queue_async(), which runs request queue and ends up
calling map_io(), which does 1), 2) and 3).

Exception is when !pg_ready() (which means either pg_init is running or
requested), then multipath_busy() prevents map_io() being called from
request_fn.

If pg_init is running, it should be ok as long as pg_init_done() does
the right thing when pg_init is completed, I.e.: restart pg_init if
!pg_ready() or call dm_table_run_md_queue_async() to kick map_io().

If pg_init is requested, we have to make sure the request is detected
and pg_init will be started.  pg_init is requested in 3 places:
  a) __choose_pgpath() in map_io()
  b) __choose_pgpath() in multipath_ioctl()
  c) pg_init retry in pg_init_done()
a) is ok because map_io() calls __pg_init_all_paths(), which does 2).
b) needs a call to __pg_init_all_paths(), which does 2).
c) needs a call to __pg_init_all_paths(), which does 2).

So this patch removes process_queued_ios() and ensures that
__pg_init_all_paths() is called at the appropriate locations.

e809917735 dm mpath: push back requests instead of queueing
There is no reason why multipath needs to queue requests internally for
queue_if_no_path or pg_init; we should rather push them back onto the
request queue.

And while we're at it we can simplify the conditional statement in
map_io() to make it easier to read.

Since mpath no longer does internal queuing of I/O the table info no
longer emits the internal queue_size.  Instead it displays 1 if queuing
is being used or 0 if it is not.

Replace rcu_assign_pointer(p, NULL) with RCU_INIT_POINTER(p, NULL).

The rcu_assign_pointer() ensures that the initialization of a structure

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.

d132cc6d9e dm cache: prevent corruption caused by discard_block_size > cache_block_size
If the discard block size is larger than the cache block size we will
not properly quiesce IO to a region that is about to be discarded.  This
results in a race between a cache migration where no copy is needed, and
a write to an adjacent cache block that's within the same large discard
block.

Workaround this by limiting the discard_block_size to cache_block_size.
Also limit the max_discard_sectors to cache_block_size.

A more comprehensive fix that introduces range locking support in the
bio_prison and proper quiescing of a discard range that spans multiple
cache blocks is already in development.

eec40579d8 dm: add era target
dm-era is a target that behaves similar to the linear target.  In
addition it keeps track of which blocks were written within a user
defined period of time called an 'era'.  Each era target instance
maintains the current era as a monotonically increasing 32-bit
counter.

Use cases include tracking changed blocks for backup software, and
partially invalidating the contents of a cache to restore cache
coherency after rolling back a vendor snapshot.

dm-era is primarily expected to be paired with the dm-cache target.

0a63b66db5 bcache: Rework btree cache reserve handling
This changes the bucket allocation reserves to use _real_ reserves - separate
freelists - instead of watermarks, which if nothing else makes the current code
saner to reason about and is going to be important in the future when we add
support for multiple btrees.

It also adds btree_check_reserve(), which checks (and locks) the reserves for
both bucket allocation and memory allocation for btree nodes; the old code just
kinda sorta assumed that since (e.g. for btree node splits) it had the root
locked and that meant no other threads could try to make use of the same
reserve; this technically should have been ok for memory allocation (we should
always have a reserve for memory allocation (the btree node cache is used as a
reserve and we preallocate it)), but multiple btrees will mean that locking the
root won't be sufficient anymore, and for the bucket allocation reserve it was
technically possible for the old code to deadlock.

2a285686c1 bcache: btree locking rework
Add a new lock, b->write_lock, which is required to actually modify - or write -
a btree node; this lock is only held for short durations.

This means we can write out a btree node without taking b->lock, which _is_ held
for long durations - solving a deadlock when btree_flush_write() (from the
journalling code) is called with a btree node locked.

Right now just occurs in bch_btree_set_root(), but with an upcoming journalling
rework is going to happen a lot more.

This also turns b->lock is now more of a read/intent lock instead of a
read/write lock - but not completely, since it still blocks readers. May turn it
into a real intent lock at some point in the future.

- recognizing access to the partial block at the end of the origin device
- avoiding out of bounds access to the discard bitset

Otherwise, users can experience errors like the following:

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.

738211f70a dm thin: fix noflush suspend IO queueing
i) by the time DM core calls the postsuspend hook the dm_noflush flag
has been cleared.  So the old thin_postsuspend did nothing.  We need to
use the presuspend hook instead.

ii) There was a race between bios leaving DM core and arriving in the
deferred queue.

thin_presuspend now sets a 'requeue' flag causing all bios destined for
that thin to be requeued back to DM core.  Then it requeues all held IO,
and all IO on the deferred queue (destined for that thin).  Finally
postsuspend clears the 'requeue' flag.

18adc57779 dm thin: fix deadlock in __requeue_bio_list
The spin lock in requeue_io() was held for too long, allowing deadlock.
Don't worry, due to other issues addressed in the following "dm thin:
fix noflush suspend IO queueing" commit, this code was never called.

Fix this by taking the spin lock for a much shorter period of time.

3e1a069909 dm thin: fix out of data space handling
Ideally a thin pool would never run out of data space; the low water
mark would trigger userland to extend the pool before we completely run
out of space.  However, many small random IOs to unprovisioned space can
consume data space at an alarming rate.  Adjust your low water mark if
you're frequently seeing "out-of-data-space" mode.

Before this fix, if data space ran out the pool would be put in
PM_READ_ONLY mode which also aborted the pool's current metadata
transaction (data loss for any changes in the transaction).  This had a
side-effect of needlessly compromising data consistency.  And retry of
queued unserviceable bios, once the data pool was resized, could
initiate changes to potentially inconsistent pool metadata.

Now when the pool's data space is exhausted transition to a new pool
mode (PM_OUT_OF_DATA_SPACE) that allows metadata to be changed but data
may not be allocated.  This allows users to remove thin volumes or
discard data to recover data space.

The pool is no longer put in PM_READ_ONLY mode in response to the pool
running out of data space.  And PM_READ_ONLY mode no longer aborts the
pool's current metadata transaction.  Also, set_pool_mode() will now
notify userspace when the pool mode is changed.

07f2b6e038 dm thin: ensure user takes action to validate data and metadata consistency
If a thin metadata operation fails the current transaction will abort,
whereby causing potential for IO layers up the stack (e.g. filesystems)
to have data loss.  As such, set THIN_METADATA_NEEDS_CHECK_FLAG in the
thin metadata's superblock which:
1) requires the user verify the thin metadata is consistent (e.g. use
   thin_check, etc)
2) suggests the user verify the thin data is consistent (e.g. use fsck)

The only way to clear the superblock's THIN_METADATA_NEEDS_CHECK_FLAG is
to run thin_repair.

On metadata operation failure: abort current metadata transaction, set
pool in read-only mode, and now set the needs_check flag.

As part of this change, constraints are introduced or relaxed:
* don't allow a pool to transition to write mode if needs_check is set
* don't allow data or metadata space to be resized if needs_check is set
* if a thin pool's metadata space is exhausted: the kernel will now
  force the user to take the pool offline for repair before the kernel
  will allow the metadata space to be extended.

Also, update Documentation to include information about when the thin
provisioning target commits metadata, how it handles metadata failures
and running out of space.

cdc2b41584 dm thin: synchronize the pool mode during suspend
Commit b5330655 ("dm thin: handle metadata failures more consistently")
increased potential for the pool's mode to be changed in response to
metadata operation failures.

When the pool mode is changed it isn't synchronized with the mode in
pool_features stored in the target's context (ti->private) that is used
as the basis for (re)establishing the pool mode during resume via
bind_control_target.

It is important that we synchronize the pool mode when it is changed
otherwise the pool may experience and unexpected mode transition on the
next resume (especially if there was no new table load).

2c945820ca dm snapshot: fix metadata corruption
Commit 55494bf294 ("dm snapshot: use dm-bufio") broke snapshots.
Before that 3.14-rc1 commit, loading a snapshot's list of exceptions
involved reading exception areas one by one into ps->area and inserting
those exceptions into the hash table.  Commit 55494bf294 changed
it so that dm-bufio with prefetch is used to load exceptions in batchs.
Exceptions are loaded correctly, but ps->area is left uninitialized.
When a new exception is allocated, it is stored in this uninitialized
ps->area which will be written to the disk.  This causes metadata
corruption.

Fix this corruption by copying the last area that was read via dm-bufio
into ps->area.
