This patch adds a service time oriented dynamic load balancer,
dm-service-time, which selects the path with the shortest estimated
service time for the incoming I/O.
The service time is estimated by dividing the in-flight I/O size
by a performance value of each path.
The performance value can be given as a table argument at the table
loading time. If no performance value is given, all paths are
considered equal.

This patch makes two additions to the dm path selector interface for
dynamic load balancers:
o a new hook, start_io()
o a new parameter 'nr_bytes' to select_path()/start_io()/end_io()
to pass the size of the I/O
start_io() is called when a target driver actually submits I/O
to the selected path.
Path selectors can use it to start accounting of the I/O.
(e.g. counting the number of in-flight I/Os.)
The start_io hook is based on the patch posted by Stefan Bader:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2005-October/msg00050.html
nr_bytes, the size of the I/O, is so path selectors can take the
size of the I/O into account when deciding which path to use.
dm-service-time uses it to estimate service time, for example.
(Added the nr_bytes member to dm_mpath_io instead of using existing
details.bi_size, since request-based dm patch deletes it.)

Fix a potential deadlock when creating multiple snapshots by holding a
reference to struct block_device for the whole lifecycle of every dm
device instead of obtaining it independently at each point it is needed.
bdget_disk() was called while the device was being suspended, in
dm_suspend(). However there could be other devices already suspended,
for example when creating additional snapshots of a device. bdget_disk()
can wait for IO and allocate memory resulting in waiting for the
already-suspended device - deadlock.
This patch changes the code so that it gets the reference to struct
block_device when struct mapped_device is allocated and initialized in
alloc_dev() where it is always OK to allocate memory or wait for I/O.
It drops the reference when it is destroyed in free_dev(). Thus there
is no call to bdget_disk() while any device is suspended.
Previously unlock_fs() was called only if bdev was held. Now it is
called unconditionally, but the superfluous calls are harmless because
it returns immediately if the filesystem was not previously frozen.
This patch also now allows the device size to be changed in a
noflush suspend because the bdev is held. This has no adverse effect.

Use i_size_read() instead of reading i_size.
If someone changes the size of the device simultaneously, i_size_read
is guaranteed to return a valid value (either the old one or the new one).
i_size can return some intermediate invalid value (on 32-bit computers
with 64-bit i_size, the reads to both halves of i_size can be interleaved
with updates to i_size, resulting in garbage being returned).

A bio that has two or more vector entries, size less than or equal to
page size, that crosses a stripe boundary of an underlying md device is
accepted by device mapper (it conforms to all its limits) but not by the
underlying device.
The fix is: If device mapper selects the one-page maximum request size,
it also needs to set its own q->merge_bvec_fn to reject any bios with
multiple vector entries that span more pages.
The problem was discovered in the following scenario:
* MD - RAID-0
* LV on the top of it (raid1, snapshot or striped with chunk
size/stripe larger than RAID-0 stripe)
* one of the logical volumes is exported to xen domU
* inside xen domU it is partitioned, the key point is that the partition
must be unaligned on page boundary (fdisk normally aligns the partition to
63 sectors which will trigger it)
* install the system on the partitioned disk in domU
This causes I/O failures in dom0.

The commit fe9cf30eb8 moves dm table event
submission from kmultipath queue to kernel kevent queue to avoid a
deadlock.
There is a possibility of race condition because kevent queue is not flushed
in the multipath destructor. The scenario is:
- some event happens and is queued to keventd
- keventd thread is delayed due to scheuling latency or some other work
- multipath device is destroyed
- keventd now attempts to process work_struct that is residing in already
released memory.
The patch flushes the keventd queue in multipath constructor.

If the code can't handle allocation failures, use __GFP_NOFAIL so that
in case of memory pressure the allocator will retry indefinitely and
won't return NULL which would cause a crash in the function.
This is still not a correct fix, it may cause a classic deadlock when
memory manager waits for I/O being done and I/O waits for some free memory.
I/O code shouldn't allocate any memory. But in this case it probably
doesn't matter much in practice, people usually do not swap on RAID.

Fixed a problem affecting reinstatement of passive paths.
Before we moved the hardware handler from dm to SCSI, it performed a pg_init
for a path group and didn't maintain any state about each path in hardware
handler code.
But in SCSI dh, such state is now maintained, as we want to fail I/O early on a
path if it is not the active path.
All the hardware handlers have a state now and set to active or some form of
inactive. They have prep_fn() which uses this state to fail the I/O without
it ever being sent to the device.
So in effect when dm-multipath calls scsi_dh_activate(), activate is
sent to only one path and the "state" of that path is changed appropriately
to "active" while other paths in the same path group are never changed
as they never got an "activate".
In order make sure all the paths in a path group gets their state set
properly when a pg_init happens, we need to call scsi_dh_activate() on
all paths in a path group.
Doing this at the hardware handler layer is not a good option as we
want the multipath layer to define the relationship between path and path
groups and not the hardware handler.
Attached patch sends an "activate" on each path in a path group when a
path group is switched. It also sends an activate when a path is reinstated.

When specifying a different hardware handler via multipath
features we should be able to override the built-in defaults.
The problem here is the hardware table from scsi_dh is compiled
in and cannot be changed from userland. The multipath.conf OTOH
is purely user-defined and, what's more, the user might have a valid
reason for modifying it.
(EG EMC Clariion can well be run in PNR mode even though ALUA is
active, or the user might want to try ALUA on any as-of-yet unknown
devices)
So _not_ allowing multipath to override the device handler setting
will just add to the confusion and makes error tracking even more
difficult.

This allows the callers to now pass down the full set of FAULT_FLAG_xyz

The fault handling routines really want more fine-grained flags than a
single "was it a write fault" boolean - the callers will want to set
flags like "you can return a retry error" etc.
And that's actually how the VM works internally, but right now the
top-level fault handling functions in mm/memory.c all pass just the
'write_access' boolean around.
This switches them over to pass around the FAULT_FLAG_xyzzy 'flags'
variable instead. The 'write_access' calling convention still exists
for the exported 'handle_mm_fault()' function, but that is next.
