3a01750964 dm-mpath: do not activate failed paths
activate_path() is run without a lock, so the path might be
set to failed before activate_path() had a chance to run.
This patch add a check for ->active in activate_path() to
avoid unnecessary overhead by calling functions which are known
to be failing.

e3bde04f1e dm mpath: reduce memory pressure when requeuing
When multipath needs to requeue I/O in the block layer the per-request

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.

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.

e893fba90c dm cache: fix access beyond end of origin device
In order to avoid wasting cache space a partial block at the end of the
origin device is not cached.  Unfortunately, the check for such a
partial block at the end of the origin device was flawed.

Fix accesses beyond the end of the origin device that occured due to
attempted promotion of an undetected partial block by:

- initializing the per bio data struct to allow cache_end_io to work properly
- 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:

During demotion or promotion to a cache's >2TB fast device we must not

for proper 64bit multiplication.

Here is an example of how this bug manifests on an ext4 filesystem:

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.

has been cleared.  So the old thin_postsuspend did nothing.  We need to

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.

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.

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

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.

e0d849fad7 dm cache: fix truncation bug when mapping I/O to >2TB fast device
When remapping a block to the cache's fast device that is larger than
2TB we must not truncate the destination sector to 32bits.  The 32bit
temporary result of from_cblock() was being overflowed in
remap_to_cache() due to the logical left shift.

Use an intermediate 64bit type to store the 32bit from_cblock() result
to fix the overflow.

7d48935eff dm thin: allow metadata space larger than supported to go unused
It was always intended that a user could provide a thin metadata device
that is larger than the max supported by the on-disk format.  The extra
space would just go unused.

Unfortunately that never worked.  If the user attempted to use a larger
metadata device on creation they would get an error like the following:

 device-mapper: space map common: space map too large
 device-mapper: transaction manager: couldn't create metadata space map
 device-mapper: thin metadata: tm_create_with_sm failed
 device-mapper: table: 252:17: thin-pool: Error creating metadata object
 device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table

Fix this by allowing the initial metadata space map creation to cap its
size at the max number of blocks supported (DM_SM_METADATA_MAX_BLOCKS).
get_metadata_dev_size() must also impose DM_SM_METADATA_MAX_BLOCKS (via
THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS), otherwise extending metadata would cap at
THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS_WARNING (which is larger than supported).

Also, the calculation for THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS didn't account for
the sizeof the disk_bitmap_header.  So the supported maximum metadata
size is a bit smaller (reduced from 33423360 to 33292800 sectors).

Lastly, remove the "excess space will not be used" warning message from
get_metadata_dev_size(); it resulted in printing the warning multiple
times.  Factor out warn_if_metadata_device_too_big(), call it from
pool_ctr() and maybe_resize_metadata_dev().

d73f990729 dm io: fix I/O to multiple destinations
Commit 003b5c5719 ("block: Convert drivers
to immutable biovecs") broke dm-mirror due to dm-io breakage.

dm-io had three possible iterators (DM_IO_PAGE_LIST, DM_IO_BVEC,
DM_IO_VMA) that iterate over pages where the I/O should be performed.

The switch to immutable biovecs changed the DM_IO_BVEC iterator to
DM_IO_BIO.  Before this change the iterator stored the pointer to a bio
vector in the dpages structure.  The iterator incremented the pointer in
the dpages structure as it advanced over the pages.  After the immutable
biovecs change, the DM_IO_BIO iterator stores a pointer to the bio in
the dpages structure and uses bio_advance to change the bio as it
advances.

The problem is that the function dispatch_io stores the content of the
dpages structure into the variable old_pages and restores it before
issuing I/O to each of the devices.  Before the change, the statement
"*dp = old_pages;" restored the iterator to its starting position.
After the change, struct dpages holds a pointer to the bio, thus the
statement "*dp = old_pages;" doesn't restore the iterator.

Consequently, in the context of dm-mirror: only the first mirror leg is
written correctly, the kernel locks up when trying to write the other
mirror legs because the number of sectors to write in the where->count
variable doesn't match the number of sectors returned by the iterator.

This patch fixes the bug by partially reverting the original patch - it
changes the code so that struct dpages holds a pointer to the bio vector,
so that the statement "*dp = old_pages;" restores the iterator correctly.

The field "context_u" holds the offset from the beginning of the current
bio vector entry, just like the "bio->bi_iter.bi_bvec_done" field.

80ae49aaed dm cache: do not add migration to completed list before unhooking bio
When completing an overwrite bio, in overwrite_endio(), the associated
migration should not be added to the 'completed_migrations' until the
bio's fields are restored with dm_unhook_bio().

Otherwise, do_worker() can race to process 'completed_migrations' before
dm_unhook_bio() -- so the bio's bi_end_io is incorrect.  This is
unlikely to cause any problems given the current code but should be
fixed on the basis of correctness.

Also, the cache's spinlock only needs to be held when manipulating the
'completed_migrations' list -- other changes don't need protection.

incorrectly placed the 'hook_info' member in the writethrough-only

Given that the overwrite optimization may be used for writeback the

both writeback and writethrough modes' per_bio_data structure.

789b5e0315 md/raid5: Fix CPU hotplug callback registration
Subsystems that want to register CPU hotplug callbacks, as well as perform
initialization for the CPUs that are already online, often do it as shown
below:

	get_online_cpus();

	for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
		init_cpu(cpu);

	register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);

	put_online_cpus();

This is wrong, since it is prone to ABBA deadlocks involving the
cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock (when running concurrently
with CPU hotplug operations).

Interestingly, the raid5 code can actually prevent double initialization and
hence can use the following simplified form of callback registration:

	register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);

	get_online_cpus();

	for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
		init_cpu(cpu);

	put_online_cpus();

A hotplug operation that occurs between registering the notifier and calling
get_online_cpus(), won't disrupt anything, because the code takes care to
perform the memory allocations only once.

So reorganize the code in raid5 this way to fix the deadlock with callback
registration.

commit 30bc9b5387
    md/raid1: fix bio handling problems in process_checks()

Move the bio_reset() to a point before where BIO_UPTODATE is checked,
so that check now always report that the bio is uptodate, even if it is not.

This causes process_check() to sometimes treat read-errors as
successful matches so the good data isn't written out.

This patch preserves the flag until it is needed.

Bug was introduced in 3.11, but backported to 3.10-stable (as it fixed
an even worse bug).  So suitable for any -stable since 3.10.

9471744767 bcache: fix BUG_ON due to integer overflow with GC_SECTORS_USED
The BUG_ON at the end of __bch_btree_mark_key can be triggered due to
an integer overflow error:

BITMASK(GC_SECTORS_USED, struct bucket, gc_mark, 2, 13);
...
SET_GC_SECTORS_USED(g, min_t(unsigned,
	     GC_SECTORS_USED(g) + KEY_SIZE(k),
	     (1 << 14) - 1));
BUG_ON(!GC_SECTORS_USED(g));

In bcache.h, the SECTORS_USED bitfield is defined to be 13 bits wide.
While the SET_ code tries to ensure that the field doesn't overflow by
clamping it to (1<<14)-1 == 16383, this is incorrect because 16383
requires 14 bits.  Therefore, if GC_SECTORS_USED() + KEY_SIZE() =
8192, the SET_ statement tries to store 8192 into a 13-bit field.  In
a 13-bit field, 8192 becomes zero, thus triggering the BUG_ON.

Therefore, create a field width constant and a max value constant, and
use those to create the bitfield and check the inputs to
SET_GC_SECTORS_USED.  Arguably the BITMASK() template ought to have
BUG_ON checks for too-large values, but that's a separate patch.

5066a4df1f dm log userspace: allow mark requests to piggyback on flush requests
In the cluster evironment, cluster write has poor performance because
userspace_flush() has to contact a userspace program (cmirrord) for
clear/mark/flush requests.  But both mark and flush requests require
cmirrord to communicate the message to all the cluster nodes for each
flush call.  This behaviour is really slow.

To address this we now merge mark and flush requests together to reduce
the kernel-userspace-kernel time.  We allow a new directive,
"integrated_flush" that can be used to instruct the kernel log code to
combine flush and mark requests when directed by userspace.  If not
directed by userspace (due to an older version of the userspace code
perhaps), the kernel will function as it did previously - preserving
backwards compatibility.  Additionally, flush requests are performed
lazily when only clear requests exist.
