072623de1f dm: fix dm_target_io leak if clone_bio() returns an error
Commit c80914e81e ("dm: return error if bio_integrity_clone() fails
in clone_bio()") changed clone_bio() such that if it does return error
then the alloc_tio() created resources (both the bio that was allocated
to be a clone and the containing dm_target_io struct) will leak.

Fix this by calling free_tio() in __clone_and_map_data_bio()'s
clone_bio() error path.

98dbc9c6c6 dm: fix rq_end_stats() NULL pointer in dm_requeue_original_request()
An "old" (.request_fn) DM 'struct request' stores a pointer to the
associated 'struct dm_rq_target_io' in rq->special.

dm_requeue_original_request(), previously named
dm_requeue_unmapped_original_request(), called dm_unprep_request() to
reset rq->special to NULL.  But rq_end_stats() would go on to hit a NULL
pointer deference because its call to tio_from_request() returned NULL.

Fix this by calling rq_end_stats() _before_ dm_unprep_request()

Remove all fiddley code that propped up this support for a blk-mq
request-queue ontop of all .request_fn devices.

Testing has proven this niche request-based dm-mq mode to be buggy, when

Allow user to change these values via module params or sysfs.

'dm_mq_nr_hw_queues' defaults to 1 (max 32).

'dm_mq_queue_depth' defaults to 2048 (up from 64, which proved far too
small under moderate sized workloads -- the dm-multipath device would
continuously block waiting for tags (requests) to become available).
The maximum is BLK_MQ_MAX_DEPTH (currently 10240).

Keep in mind the total number of pre-allocated requests per
request-based dm-mq device is 'dm_mq_nr_hw_queues' * 'dm_mq_queue_depth'
(currently 2048).

16f122661d dm: optimize dm_mq_queue_rq()
DM multipath is the only dm-mq target.  But that aside, request-based DM
only supports tables with a single target that is immutable.  Leverage
this fact in dm_mq_queue_rq() by using the 'immutable_target' stored in
the mapped_device when the table was made active.  This saves the need
to even take the read-side of the SRCU via dm_{get,put}_live_table.

If the active DM table does not have an immutable target (e.g. "error"
target was swapped in) then fallback to the slow-path where the target
is looked up from the live table.

6acfe68bac dm: fix excessive dm-mq context switching
Request-based DM's blk-mq support (dm-mq) was reported to be 50% slower
than if an underlying null_blk device were used directly.  One of the
reasons for this drop in performance is that blk_insert_clone_request()
was calling blk_mq_insert_request() with @async=true.  This forced the
use of kblockd_schedule_delayed_work_on() to run the blk-mq hw queues
which ushered in ping-ponging between process context (fio in this case)
and kblockd's kworker to submit the cloned request.  The ftrace
function_graph tracer showed:

  kworker-2013  =>   fio-12190
  fio-12190    =>  kworker-2013
  ...
  kworker-2013  =>   fio-12190
  fio-12190    =>  kworker-2013
  ...

Fixing blk_insert_clone_request()'s blk_mq_insert_request() call to
_not_ use kblockd to submit the cloned requests isn't enough to
eliminate the observed context switches.

In addition to this dm-mq specific blk-core fix, there are 2 DM core
fixes to dm-mq that (when paired with the blk-core fix) completely
eliminate the observed context switching:

1)  don't blk_mq_run_hw_queues in blk-mq request completion

    Motivated by desire to reduce overhead of dm-mq, punting to kblockd
    just increases context switches.

    In my testing against a really fast null_blk device there was no benefit
    to running blk_mq_run_hw_queues() on completion (and no other blk-mq
    driver does this).  So hopefully this change doesn't induce the need for
    yet another revert like commit 621739b00e !

2)  use blk_mq_complete_request() in dm_complete_request()

    blk_complete_request() doesn't offer the traditional q->mq_ops vs
    .request_fn branching pattern that other historic block interfaces
    do (e.g. blk_get_request).  Using blk_mq_complete_request() for
    blk-mq requests is important for performance.  It should be noted
    that, like blk_complete_request(), blk_mq_complete_request() doesn't
    natively handle partial completions -- but the request-based
    DM-multipath target does provide the required partial completion
    support by dm.c:end_clone_bio() triggering requeueing of the request
    via dm-mpath.c:multipath_end_io()'s return of DM_ENDIO_REQUEUE.

dm-mq fix #2 is _much_ more important than #1 for eliminating the
context switches.
Before: cpu          : usr=15.10%, sys=59.39%, ctx=7905181, majf=0, minf=475
After:  cpu          : usr=20.60%, sys=79.35%, ctx=2008, majf=0, minf=472

With these changes multithreaded async read IOPs improved from ~950K
to ~1350K for this dm-mq stacked on null_blk test-case.  The raw read
IOPs of the underlying null_blk device for the same workload is ~1950K.

Rename dm_get_live_table_for_ioctl to dm_grab_bdev_for_ioctl and have it
do the dm_{get,put}_live_table() rather than split those operations.

The dm_grab_bdev_for_ioctl() callers only care about the block_device
associated with a singleton DM device so there isn't any need to retain
a reference to the live DM table.  It is sufficient to:
1) dm_get_live_table()
2) bdgrab() the bdev associated with the singleton table's target
3) dm_put_live_table()
4) bdput() the bdev

5bbbfdf685 dm: fix ioctl retry termination with signal
dm-mpath retries ioctl, when no path is readily available and the device
is configured to queue I/O in such a case. If you want to stop the retry
before multipathd decides to turn off queueing mode, you could send
signal for the process to exit from the loop.

However the check of fatal signal has not carried along when commit
6c182cd88d ("dm mpath: fix ioctl deadlock when no paths") moved the
loop from dm-mpath to dm core. As a result, we can't terminate such
a process in the retry loop.

Easy reproducer of the situation is:

  # dmsetup create mp --table '0 1024 multipath 0 0 0 0'
  # dmsetup message mp 0 'queue_if_no_path'
  # sg_inq /dev/mapper/mp

then you should be able to terminate sg_inq by pressing Ctrl+C.

dbba42d8a9 dm: eliminate unused "bioset" process for each bio-based DM device
Commit 54efd50bfd ("block: make
generic_make_request handle arbitrarily sized bios") makes it possible
for block devices to process large bios.  In doing so that commit
allocates a new queue->bio_split bioset for each block device, this
bioset is used for allocating bios when the driver needs to split large
bios.

Each bioset allocates a workqueue process, thus the above commit
increases the number of processes allocated per block device.

DM doesn't need the queue->bio_split bioset, thus we can deallocate it.
This reduces the number of allocated processes per bio-based DM device
from 3 to 2.  Also remove the call to blk_queue_split(), it is not
needed because DM does its own splitting.

Commit bfebd1cdb4 ("dm: add full blk-mq
support to request-based DM") moves the initialization of the fields
backing_dev_info.congested_fn, backing_dev_info.congested_data and
queuedata from the function dm_init_md_queue (that is called when the
device is created) to dm_init_old_md_queue (that is called after the
device type is determined).

There is no locking when accessing these variables, thus it is possible
for other parts of the kernel to briefly see this data in a transient
state (e.g. queue->backing_dev_info.congested_fn initialized and
md->queue->backing_dev_info.congested_data uninitialized, resulting in
passing an incorrect parameter to the function dm_any_congested).

This queue data is left initialized for blk-mq devices even though they
that don't use it.

50887bd139 dm: fix request-based dm error reporting
end_clone_bio() is a endio callback for clone bio and should check
and save the clone's bi_error for error reporting.  However,
4246a0b63b ("block: add a bi_error field to struct bio") changed
the function to check the original bio's bi_error, which is 0.

Without this fix, clone's error is ignored and reported to the
original request as success.  Thus data corruption will be observed.

 - a 4.1-stable fix for dm-cache that fixes the leaking of deferred bio

 - a 4.2-stable fix that adds feature reporting for the dm-stats

 - improve DM-snapshot to not invalidate the on-disk snapshot if
   snapshot device write overflow occurs; but a write overflow triggered
   through the origin device will still invalidate the snapshot.

 - optimize DM-thinp's async discard submission a bit now that late bio
   splitting has been included in block core.

 - switch DM-cache's SMQ policy lock from using a mutex to a spinlock;
   improves performance on very low latency devices (eg. NVMe SSD).

 - document DM RAID 4/5/6's discard support

[ I did not pull the slab changes, which weren't appropriate for this

 "This first core part of the block IO changes contains:

   - Cleanup of the bio IO error signaling from Christoph.  We used to
     rely on the uptodate bit and passing around of an error, now we
     store the error in the bio itself.

   - Improvement of the above from myself, by shrinking the bio size
     down again to fit in two cachelines on x86-64.

   - Revert of the max_hw_sectors cap removal from a revision again,
     from Jeff Moyer.  This caused performance regressions in various
     tests.  Reinstate the limit, bump it to a more reasonable size
     instead.

   - Make /sys/block/<dev>/queue/discard_max_bytes writeable, by me.
     Most devices have huge trim limits, which can cause nasty latencies
     when deleting files.  Enable the admin to configure the size down.
     We will look into having a more sane default instead of UINT_MAX
     sectors.

   - Improvement of the SGP gaps logic from Keith Busch.

   - Enable the block core to handle arbitrarily sized bios, which
     enables a nice simplification of bio_add_page() (which is an IO hot
     path).  From Kent.

   - Improvements to the partition io stats accounting, making it
     faster.  From Ming Lei.

   - Also from Ming Lei, a basic fixup for overflow of the sysfs pending
     file in blk-mq, as well as a fix for a blk-mq timeout race
     condition.

   - Ming Lin has been carrying Kents above mentioned patches forward
     for a while, and testing them.  Ming also did a few fixes around
     that.

   - Sasha Levin found and fixed a use-after-free problem introduced by
     the bio->bi_error changes from Christoph.

54efd50bfd block: make generic_make_request handle arbitrarily sized bios
The way the block layer is currently written, it goes to great lengths
to avoid having to split bios; upper layer code (such as bio_add_page())
checks what the underlying device can handle and tries to always create
bios that don't need to be split.

But this approach becomes unwieldy and eventually breaks down with
stacked devices and devices with dynamic limits, and it adds a lot of
complexity. If the block layer could split bios as needed, we could
eliminate a lot of complexity elsewhere - particularly in stacked
drivers. Code that creates bios can then create whatever size bios are
convenient, and more importantly stacked drivers don't have to deal with
both their own bio size limitations and the limitations of the
(potentially multiple) devices underneath them.  In the future this will
let us delete merge_bvec_fn and a bunch of other code.

We do this by adding calls to blk_queue_split() to the various
make_request functions that need it - a few can already handle arbitrary
size bios. Note that we add the call _after_ any call to
blk_queue_bounce(); this means that blk_queue_split() and
blk_recalc_rq_segments() don't need to be concerned with bouncing
affecting segment merging.

Some make_request_fn() callbacks were simple enough to audit and verify
they don't need blk_queue_split() calls. The skipped ones are:

 * nfhd_make_request (arch/m68k/emu/nfblock.c)
 * axon_ram_make_request (arch/powerpc/sysdev/axonram.c)
 * simdisk_make_request (arch/xtensa/platforms/iss/simdisk.c)
 * brd_make_request (ramdisk - drivers/block/brd.c)
 * mtip_submit_request (drivers/block/mtip32xx/mtip32xx.c)
 * loop_make_request
 * null_queue_bio
 * bcache's make_request fns

Some others are almost certainly safe to remove now, but will be left
for future patches.

A DM regression on 32 bit systems was reported against v4.2-rc3 here:

Fix this by reverting both commit 1c220c69 ("dm: fix casting bug in
dm_merge_bvec()") and 148e51ba ("dm: improve documentation and code
clarity in dm_merge_bvec").  This combined revert is done to eliminate
the possibility of a partial revert in stable@ kernels.

In hindsight the correct fix, at the time 1c220c69 was applied to fix
the regression that 148e51ba introduced, should've been to simply revert
148e51ba.

4246a0b63b block: add a bi_error field to struct bio
Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:

 (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
 (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback

The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario.  Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.

So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

Linux 4.2-rc1 Commit 0f20972f7b ("dm: factor out a common
cleanup_mapped_device()") moved a common cleanup code to a separate
function.  Unfortunately, that commit incorrectly changed the order of
cleanup, so that it destroys the mapped_device's srcu structure
'io_barrier' before destroying its workqueue.

The function that is executed on the workqueue (dm_wq_work) uses the srcu
structure, thus it may use it after being freed.  That results in a
crash in the LVM test suite's mirror-vgreduce-removemissing.sh test.

Justification for revert as reported in this dm-devel post:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-June/msg00160.html

this change should not be pushed to mainline yet.

Firstly, Christoph has a newer version of the patch that fixes silent
data corruption problem:
  https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-May/msg00229.html

And the new version still depends on LLDDs to always complete requests
to the end when error happens, while block API doesn't enforce such a
requirement. If the assumption is ever broken, the inconsistency between
request and bio (e.g. rq->__sector and rq->bio) will cause silent data
corruption:

e4bc13adfd Merge branch 'for-4.2/writeback' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull cgroup writeback support from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the big pull request for adding cgroup writeback support.

  This code has been in development for a long time, and it has been
  simmering in for-next for a good chunk of this cycle too.  This is one
  of those problems that has been talked about for at least half a
  decade, finally there's a solution and code to go with it.
