dm: enable request based option
This patch enables request-based dm.
o Request-based dm and bio-based dm coexist, since there are
some target drivers which are more fitting to bio-based dm.
Also, there are other bio-based devices in the kernel
(e.g. md, loop).
Since bio-based device can't receive struct request,
there are some limitations on device stacking between
bio-based and request-based.
type of underlying device
bio-based request-based
----------------------------------------------
bio-based OK OK
request-based -- OK
The device type is recognized by the queue flag in the kernel,
so dm follows that.
o The type of a dm device is decided at the first table binding time.
Once the type of a dm device is decided, the type can't be changed.
o Mempool allocations are deferred to at the table loading time, since
mempools for request-based dm are different from those for bio-based
dm and needed mempool type is fixed by the type of table.
o Currently, request-based dm supports only tables that have a single
target. To support multiple targets, we need to support request
splitting or prevent bio/request from spanning multiple targets.
The former needs lots of changes in the block layer, and the latter
needs that all target drivers support merge() function.
Both will take a time.

dm: separate device deletion from dm_put
This patch separates the device deletion code from dm_put()
to make sure the deletion happens in the process context.
By this patch, device deletion always occurs in an ioctl (process)
context and dm_put() can be called in interrupt context.
As a result, the request-based dm's bad dm_put() usage pointed out
by Mikulas below disappears.
http://marc.info/?l=dm-devel&m=126699981019735&w=2
Without this patch, I confirmed there is a case to crash the system:
dm_put() => dm_table_destroy() => vfree() => BUG_ON(in_interrupt())
Some more backgrounds and details:
In request-based dm, a device opener can remove a mapped_device
while the last request is still completing, because bios in the last
request complete first and then the device opener can close and remove
the mapped_device before the last request completes:
CPU0 CPU1
=================================================================
<<INTERRUPT>>
blk_end_request_all(clone_rq)
blk_update_request(clone_rq)
bio_endio(clone_bio) == end_clone_bio
blk_update_request(orig_rq)
bio_endio(orig_bio)
<<I/O completed>>
dm_blk_close()
dev_remove()
dm_put(md)
<<Free md>>
blk_finish_request(clone_rq)
....
dm_end_request(clone_rq)
free_rq_clone(clone_rq)
blk_end_request_all(orig_rq)
rq_completed(md)
So request-based dm used dm_get()/dm_put() to hold md for each I/O
until its request completion handling is fully done.
However, the final dm_put() can call the device deletion code which
must not be run in interrupt context and may cause kernel panic.
To solve the problem, this patch moves the device deletion code,
dm_destroy(), to predetermined places that is actually deleting
the mapped_device in ioctl (process) context, and changes dm_put()
just to decrement the reference count of the mapped_device.
By this change, dm_put() can be used in any context and the symmetric
model below is introduced:
dm_create(): create a mapped_device
dm_destroy(): destroy a mapped_device
dm_get(): increment the reference count of a mapped_device
dm_put(): decrement the reference count of a mapped_device
dm_destroy() waits for all references of the mapped_device to disappear,
then deletes the mapped_device.
dm_destroy() uses active waiting with msleep(1), since deleting
the mapped_device isn't performance-critical task.
And since at this point, nobody opens the mapped_device and no new
reference will be taken, the pending counts are just for racing
completing activity and will eventually decrease to zero.
For the unlikely case of the forced module unload, dm_destroy_immediate(),
which doesn't wait and forcibly deletes the mapped_device, is also
introduced and used in dm_hash_remove_all(). Otherwise, "rmmod -f"
may be stuck and never return.
And now, because the mapped_device is deleted at this point, subsequent
accesses to the mapped_device may cause NULL pointer references.

dm: enable request based option
This patch enables request-based dm.
o Request-based dm and bio-based dm coexist, since there are
some target drivers which are more fitting to bio-based dm.
Also, there are other bio-based devices in the kernel
(e.g. md, loop).
Since bio-based device can't receive struct request,
there are some limitations on device stacking between
bio-based and request-based.
type of underlying device
bio-based request-based
----------------------------------------------
bio-based OK OK
request-based -- OK
The device type is recognized by the queue flag in the kernel,
so dm follows that.
o The type of a dm device is decided at the first table binding time.
Once the type of a dm device is decided, the type can't be changed.
o Mempool allocations are deferred to at the table loading time, since
mempools for request-based dm are different from those for bio-based
dm and needed mempool type is fixed by the type of table.
o Currently, request-based dm supports only tables that have a single
target. To support multiple targets, we need to support request
splitting or prevent bio/request from spanning multiple targets.
The former needs lots of changes in the block layer, and the latter
needs that all target drivers support merge() function.
Both will take a time.
