Jens Axboe a9ce385344 dm: don't attempt to queue IO under RCU protection
dm looks up the table for IO based on the request type, with an
assumption that if the request is marked REQ_NOWAIT, it's fine to
attempt to submit that IO while under RCU read lock protection. This
is not OK, as REQ_NOWAIT just means that we should not be sleeping
waiting on other IO, it does not mean that we can't potentially
schedule.

A simple test case demonstrates this quite nicely:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        struct iovec iov;
        int fd;

        fd = open("/dev/dm-0", O_RDONLY | O_DIRECT);
        posix_memalign(&iov.iov_base, 4096, 4096);
        iov.iov_len = 4096;
        preadv2(fd, &iov, 1, 0, RWF_NOWAIT);
        return 0;
}

which will instantly spew:

where in fact it is dm itself that attempts to allocate a bio clone with
GFP_NOIO under the rcu read lock, regardless of the request type.

Fix this by getting rid of the special casing for REQ_NOWAIT, and just
use the normal SRCU protected table lookup. Get rid of the bio based
table locking helpers at the same time, as they are now unused.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
