Currently, there is a single in_flight counter measuring the number of
requests in the request_queue. But some monitoring tools would like to
know how many read requests and write requests are in progress. Split the
current in_flight counter into two seperate counters for read and write.
This information is exported as a sysfs attribute, as changing the
currently available stat files would break the existing tools.

This patch removes DM's bio-based vs request-based conditional setting
of next_ordered. For bio-based DM the next_ordered check is no longer a
concern (as that check is now in the __make_request path). For
request-based DM the default of QUEUE_ORDERED_NONE is now appropriate.
bio-based DM was changed to work-around the previously misplaced
next_ordered check with this commit:

request-based DM does not yet support barriers but reacted to the above

This patch restores stacking ability to the block layer integrity
infrastructure by creating a set of dedicated bip slabs. Each bip slab
has an embedded bio_vec array at the end. This cuts down on memory
allocations and also simplifies the code compared to the original bvec
version. Only the largest bip slab is backed by a mempool. The pool is
contained in the bio_set so stacking drivers can ensure forward
progress.

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.

This patch adds core functions for request-based dm.
When struct mapped device (md) is initialized, md->queue has
an I/O scheduler and the following functions are used for
request-based dm as the queue functions:
make_request_fn: dm_make_request()
pref_fn: dm_prep_fn()
request_fn: dm_request_fn()
softirq_done_fn: dm_softirq_done()
lld_busy_fn: dm_lld_busy()
Actual initializations are done in another patch (PATCH 2).
Below is a brief summary of how request-based dm behaves, including:
- making request from bio
- cloning, mapping and dispatching request
- completing request and bio
- suspending md
- resuming md
bio to request
==============
md->queue->make_request_fn() (dm_make_request()) calls __make_request()
for a bio submitted to the md.
Then, the bio is kept in the queue as a new request or merged into
another request in the queue if possible.
Cloning and Mapping
===================
Cloning and mapping are done in md->queue->request_fn() (dm_request_fn()),
when requests are dispatched after they are sorted by the I/O scheduler.
dm_request_fn() checks busy state of underlying devices using
target's busy() function and stops dispatching requests to keep them
on the dm device's queue if busy.
It helps better I/O merging, since no merge is done for a request
once it is dispatched to underlying devices.
Actual cloning and mapping are done in dm_prep_fn() and map_request()
called from dm_request_fn().
dm_prep_fn() clones not only request but also bios of the request
so that dm can hold bio completion in error cases and prevent
the bio submitter from noticing the error.
(See the "Completion" section below for details.)
After the cloning, the clone is mapped by target's map_rq() function
and inserted to underlying device's queue using
blk_insert_cloned_request().
Completion
==========
Request completion can be hooked by rq->end_io(), but then, all bios
in the request will have been completed even error cases, and the bio
submitter will have noticed the error.
To prevent the bio completion in error cases, request-based dm clones
both bio and request and hooks both bio->bi_end_io() and rq->end_io():
bio->bi_end_io(): end_clone_bio()
rq->end_io(): end_clone_request()
Summary of the request completion flow is below:
blk_end_request() for a clone request
=> blk_update_request()
=> bio->bi_end_io() == end_clone_bio() for each clone bio
=> Free the clone bio
=> Success: Complete the original bio (blk_update_request())
Error: Don't complete the original bio
=> blk_finish_request()
=> rq->end_io() == end_clone_request()
=> blk_complete_request()
=> dm_softirq_done()
=> Free the clone request
=> Success: Complete the original request (blk_end_request())
Error: Requeue the original request
end_clone_bio() completes the original request on the size of
the original bio in successful cases.
Even if all bios in the original request are completed by that
completion, the original request must not be completed yet to keep
the ordering of request completion for the stacking.
So end_clone_bio() uses blk_update_request() instead of
blk_end_request().
In error cases, end_clone_bio() doesn't complete the original bio.
It just frees the cloned bio and gives over the error handling to
end_clone_request().
end_clone_request(), which is called with queue lock held, completes
the clone request and the original request in a softirq context
(dm_softirq_done()), which has no queue lock, to avoid a deadlock
issue on submission of another request during the completion:
- The submitted request may be mapped to the same device
- Request submission requires queue lock, but the queue lock
has been held by itself and it doesn't know that
The clone request has no clone bio when dm_softirq_done() is called.
So target drivers can't resubmit it again even error cases.
Instead, they can ask dm core for requeueing and remapping
the original request in that cases.
suspend
=======
Request-based dm uses stopping md->queue as suspend of the md.
For noflush suspend, just stops md->queue.
For flush suspend, inserts a marker request to the tail of md->queue.
And dispatches all requests in md->queue until the marker comes to
the front of md->queue. Then, stops dispatching request and waits
for the all dispatched requests to complete.
After that, completes the marker request, stops md->queue and
wake up the waiter on the suspend queue, md->wait.
resume
======
Starts md->queue.

Currently, device-mapper maintains a separate instance of 'struct
queue_limits' for each table of each device. When the configuration of
a device is to be changed, first its table is loaded and this structure
is populated, then the device is 'resumed' and the calculated
queue_limits are applied.
This places restrictions on how userspace may process related devices,
where it is often advantageous to 'load' tables for several devices
at once before 'resuming' them together. As the new queue_limits
only take effect after the 'resume', if they are changing and one
device uses another, the latter must be 'resumed' before the former
may be 'loaded'.
This patch moves the calculation of these queue_limits out of
the 'load' operation into 'resume'. Since we are no longer
pre-calculating this struct, we no longer need to maintain copies
within our dm structs.
dm_set_device_limits() now passes the 'start' of the device's
data area (aka pe_start) as the 'offset' to blk_stack_limits().
init_valid_queue_limits() is replaced by blk_set_default_limits().

Add support for passing a 32 bit "cookie" into the kernel with the
DM_SUSPEND, DM_DEV_RENAME and DM_DEV_REMOVE ioctls. The (unsigned)
value of this cookie is returned to userspace alongside the uevents
issued by these ioctls in the variable DM_COOKIE.
This means the userspace process issuing these ioctls can be notified
by udev after udev has completed any actions triggered.
To minimise the interface extension, we pass the cookie into the
kernel in the event_nr field which is otherwise unused when calling
these ioctls. Incrementing the version number allows userspace to
determine in advance whether or not the kernel supports the cookie.
If the kernel does support this but userspace does not, there should
be no impact as the new variable will just get ignored.

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.

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.

TRACE_EVENT is a more generic way to define tracepoints. Doing so adds
these new capabilities to this tracepoint:
- zero-copy and per-cpu splice() tracing
- binary tracing without printf overhead
- structured logging records exposed under /debug/tracing/events
- trace events embedded in function tracer output and other plugins
- user-defined, per tracepoint filter expressions
...
Cons:
- no dev_t info for the output of plug, unplug_timer and unplug_io events.
no dev_t info for getrq and sleeprq events if bio == NULL.
no dev_t info for rq_abort,...,rq_requeue events if rq->rq_disk == NULL.
This is mainly because we can't get the deivce from a request queue.
But this may change in the future.
- A packet command is converted to a string in TP_assign, not TP_print.
While blktrace do the convertion just before output.
Since pc requests should be rather rare, this is not a big issue.
- In blktrace, an event can have 2 different print formats, but a TRACE_EVENT
has a unique format, which means we have some unused data in a trace entry.
The overhead is minimized by using __dynamic_array() instead of __array().
I've benchmarked the ioctl blktrace vs the splice based TRACE_EVENT tracing:
dd dd + ioctl blktrace dd + TRACE_EVENT (splice)
1 7.36s, 42.7 MB/s 7.50s, 42.0 MB/s 7.41s, 42.5 MB/s
2 7.43s, 42.3 MB/s 7.48s, 42.1 MB/s 7.43s, 42.4 MB/s
3 7.38s, 42.6 MB/s 7.45s, 42.2 MB/s 7.41s, 42.5 MB/s
So the overhead of tracing is very small, and no regression when using
those trace events vs blktrace.
And the binary output of TRACE_EVENT is much smaller than blktrace:
# ls -l -h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8.8M 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 195K 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.1

Barriers are submitted to a worker thread that issues them in-order.
The thread is modified so that when it sees a barrier request it waits
for all pending IO before the request then submits the barrier and
waits for it. (We must wait, otherwise it could be intermixed with
following requests.)
Errors from the barrier request are recorded in a per-device barrier_error
variable. There may be only one barrier request in progress at once.
For now, the barrier request is converted to a non-barrier request when
sending it to the underlying device.
This patch guarantees correct barrier behavior if the underlying device
doesn't perform write-back caching. The same requirement existed before
barriers were supported in dm.
Bottom layer barrier support (sending barriers by target drivers) and
handling devices with write-back caches will be done in further patches.

Move the bio_io_error() calls directly into __split_and_process_bio().
This avoids some code duplication in later patches.

Rename __split_bio() to __split_and_process_bio() because it not only splits
the bio to serveral parts, but also submits them to target drivers.

Remove struct dm_wq_req and move "work" directly into struct mapped_device.
In the revised implementation, the thread will do just one type of work
(processing the queue).

When a table is being replaced, it waits for I/O to complete
before destroying the mempool, but the endio function doesn't
call mempool_free() until after completing the bio.
Fix it by swapping the order of those two operations.
The same problem occurs in dm.c with md referenced after dec_pending.
Again, we swap the order.

Implement simple read-only sysfs entry for device-mapper block device.
This patch adds a simple sysfs directory named "dm" under block device
properties and implements
- name attribute (string containing mapped device name)
- uuid attribute (string containing UUID, or empty string if not set)
The kobject is embedded in mapped_device struct, so no additional
memory allocation is needed for initializing sysfs entry.
During the processing of sysfs attribute we need to lock mapped device
which is done by a new function dm_get_from_kobj, which returns the md
associated with kobject and increases the usage count.
Each 'show attribute' function is responsible for its own locking.

Rework table reference counting.
The existing code uses a reference counter. When the last reference is
dropped and the counter reaches zero, the table destructor is called.
Table reference counters are acquired/released from upcalls from other
kernel code (dm_any_congested, dm_merge_bvec, dm_unplug_all).
If the reference counter reaches zero in one of the upcalls, the table
destructor is called from almost random kernel code.
This leads to various problems:
* dm_any_congested being called under a spinlock, which calls the
destructor, which calls some sleeping function.
* the destructor attempting to take a lock that is already taken by the
same process.
* stale reference from some other kernel code keeps the table
constructed, which keeps some devices open, even after successful
return from "dmsetup remove". This can confuse lvm and prevent closing
of underlying devices or reusing device minor numbers.
The patch changes reference counting so that the table destructor can be
called only at predetermined places.
The table has always exactly one reference from either mapped_device->map
or hash_cell->new_map. After this patch, this reference is not counted
in table->holders. A pair of dm_create_table/dm_destroy_table functions
is used for table creation/destruction.
Temporary references from the other code increase table->holders. A pair
of dm_table_get/dm_table_put functions is used to manipulate it.
When the table is about to be destroyed, we wait for table->holders to
reach 0. Then, we call the table destructor. We use active waiting with
msleep(1), because the situation happens rarely (to one user in 5 years)
and removing the device isn't performance-critical task: the user doesn't
care if it takes one tick more or not.
This way, the destructor is called only at specific points
(dm_table_destroy function) and the above problems associated with lazy
destruction can't happen.
Finally remove the temporary protection added to dm_any_congested().
