Alasdair G Kergon 55a62eef8d dm: rename request variables to bios
Use 'bio' in the name of variables and functions that deal with
bios rather than 'request' to avoid confusion with the normal
block layer use of 'request'.

No functional changes.

Mikulas Patocka fd7c092e71 dm: fix truncated status strings
Avoid returning a truncated table or status string instead of setting
the DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG when the last target of a table fills the
buffer.

When processing a table or status request, the function retrieve_status
calls ti->type->status. If ti->type->status returns non-zero,
retrieve_status assumes that the buffer overflowed and sets
DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG.

However, targets don't return non-zero values from their status method
on overflow. Most targets returns always zero.

If a buffer overflow happens in a target that is not the last in the
table, it gets noticed during the next iteration of the loop in
retrieve_status; but if a buffer overflow happens in the last target, it
goes unnoticed and erroneously truncated data is returned.

In the current code, the targets behave in the following way:
* dm-crypt returns -ENOMEM if there is not enough space to store the
  key, but it returns 0 on all other overflows.
* dm-thin returns errors from the status method if a disk error happened.
  This is incorrect because retrieve_status doesn't check the error
  code, it assumes that all non-zero values mean buffer overflow.
* all the other targets always return 0.

This patch changes the ti->type->status function to return void (because
most targets don't use the return code). Overflow is detected in
retrieve_status: if the status method fills up the remaining space
completely, it is assumed that buffer overflow happened.

Linus Torvalds 033d9959ed Merge branch 'for-3.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq
Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
 "This is workqueue updates for v3.7-rc1.  A lot of activities this
  round including considerable API and behavior cleanups.

   * delayed_work combines a timer and a work item.  The handling of the
     timer part has always been a bit clunky leading to confusing
     cancelation API with weird corner-case behaviors.  delayed_work is
     updated to use new IRQ safe timer and cancelation now works as
     expected.

   * Another deficiency of delayed_work was lack of the counterpart of
     mod_timer() which led to cancel+queue combinations or open-coded
     timer+work usages.  mod_delayed_work[_on]() are added.

     These two delayed_work changes make delayed_work provide interface
     and behave like timer which is executed with process context.

   * A work item could be executed concurrently on multiple CPUs, which
     is rather unintuitive and made flush_work() behavior confusing and
     half-broken under certain circumstances.  This problem doesn't
     exist for non-reentrant workqueues.  While non-reentrancy check
     isn't free, the overhead is incurred only when a work item bounces
     across different CPUs and even in simulated pathological scenario
     the overhead isn't too high.

     All workqueues are made non-reentrant.  This removes the
     distinction between flush_[delayed_]work() and
     flush_[delayed_]_work_sync().  The former is now as strong as the
     latter and the specified work item is guaranteed to have finished
     execution of any previous queueing on return.

   * In addition to the various bug fixes, Lai redid and simplified CPU
     hotplug handling significantly.

   * Joonsoo introduced system_highpri_wq and used it during CPU
     hotplug.

  There are two merge commits - one to pull in IRQ safe timer from
  tip/timers/core and the other to pull in CPU hotplug fixes from
  wq/for-3.6-fixes as Lai's hotplug restructuring depended on them."

Fixed a number of trivial conflicts, but the more interesting conflicts
were silent ones where the deprecated interfaces had been used by new
code in the merge window, and thus didn't cause any real data conflicts.

Tejun pointed out a few of them, I fixed a couple more.

Mike Snitzer 7ba10aa6fb dm mpath: only retry ioctl when no paths if queue_if_no_path set
When there are no paths and multipath receives an ioctl, it waits until
a path becomes available.  This behaviour is incorrect if the
"queue_if_no_path" setting was not specified, as then the ioctl should
be rejected immediately, which this patch now does.

commit 35991652b ("dm mpath: allow ioctls to trigger pg init") should
have checked if queue_if_no_path was configured before queueing IO.

Checking for the queue_if_no_path feature, like is done in map_io(),
allows the following table load to work without blocking in the
multipath_ioctl retry loop:

  echo "0 1024 multipath 0 0 0 0" | dmsetup create mpath_nodevs

Without this fix the multipath_ioctl will block with the following stack
trace:

Tejun Heo 43829731dd workqueue: deprecate flush[_delayed]_work_sync()
flush[_delayed]_work_sync() are now spurious.  Mark them deprecated
and convert all users to flush[_delayed]_work().

If you're cc'd and wondering what's going on: Now all workqueues are
non-reentrant and the regular flushes guarantee that the work item is
not pending or running on any CPU on return, so there's no reason to
use the sync flushes at all and they're going away.

This patch doesn't make any functional difference.

Mike Snitzer a58a935d5a dm mpath: add retain_attached_hw_handler feature
A SCSI device handler might get attached to a device during the
initial device scan.  We do not necessarily want to override
this when loading a multipath table, so this patch adds a new
multipath feature argument "retain_attached_hw_handler".

During SCSI device scan all loaded SCSI device handlers will be
consulted for a match (via scsi_dh's provided .match).  If a match is
found that device handler will be attached.  We need a way to have
userspace multipathd's provided 'hw_handler' not override the already
attached hardware handler.

When specifying the new feature 'retain_attached_hw_handler' multipath
will use the currently attached hardware handler instead of trying to
attach the one specified during table load.  If no hardware handler is
attached the specified hardware handler will still be used.

Leverages scsi_dh_attach's ability to increment the scsi_dh's reference
count if the same scsi_dh name is provided when attaching - currently
attached scsi_dh name is determined with scsi_dh_attached_handler_name.

Depends upon commit 7e8a74b177
("[SCSI] scsi_dh: add scsi_dh_attached_handler_name").

Mikulas Patocka 35991652ba dm mpath: allow ioctls to trigger pg init
After the failure of a group of paths, any alternative paths that
need initialising do not become available until further I/O is sent to
the device.  Until this has happened, ioctls return -EAGAIN.

With this patch, new paths are made available in response to an ioctl
too.  The processing of the ioctl gets delayed until this has happened.

Instead of returning an error, we submit a work item to kmultipathd
(that will potentially activate the new path) and retry in ten
milliseconds.

Note that the patch doesn't retry an ioctl if the ioctl itself fails due
to a path failure.  Such retries should be handled intelligently by the
code that generated the ioctl in the first place, noting that some SCSI
commands should not be retried because they are not idempotent (XOR write
commands).  For commands that could be retried, there is a danger that
if the device rejected the SCSI command, the path could be errorneously
marked as failed, and the request would be retried on another path which
might fail too.  It can be determined if the failure happens on the
device or on the SCSI controller, but there is no guarantee that all
SCSI drivers set these flags correctly.

If, for example, the reason for the bypass is that the controller is

away would cause a flood of log messages and retries for what could be a

Mikulas Patocka 31998ef193 dm: reject trailing characters in sccanf input
Device mapper uses sscanf to convert arguments to numbers. The problem is that
the way we use it ignores additional unmatched characters in the scanned string.

For example, this `if (sscanf(string, "%d", &number) == 1)' will match a number,
but also it will match number with some garbage appended, like "123abc".

As a result, device mapper accepts garbage after some numbers. For example
the command `dmsetup create vg1-new --table "0 16384 linear 254:1bla 34816bla"'
will pass without an error.

This patch fixes all sscanf uses in device mapper. It appends "%c" with
a pointer to a dummy character variable to every sscanf statement.

The construct `if (sscanf(string, "%d%c", &number, &dummy) == 1)' succeeds
only if string is a null-terminated number (optionally preceded by some
whitespace characters). If there is some character appended after the number,
sscanf matches "%c", writes the character to the dummy variable and returns 2.
We check the return value for 1 and consequently reject numbers with some
garbage appended.

Mike Snitzer a490a07a67 dm mpath: allow table load with no priority groups
This patch adjusts the multipath target to allow a table with both 0
priority groups and 0 for the initial priority group number.

If any mpath device is held open when all paths in the last priority
group have failed, userspace multipathd will attempt to reload the
associated DM table to reflect the fact that the device no longer has
any priority groups.  But the reload attempt always failed because the
multipath target did not allow 0 priority groups.

All multipath target messages related to priority group (enable_group,
disable_group, switch_group) will handle a priority group of 0 (will
cause error).

When reloading a multipath table with 0 priority groups, userspace
multipathd must be updated to specify an initial priority group number
of 0 (rather than 1).

Chandra Seetharaman 4e2d19e46b dm mpath: delay activate_path retry on SCSI_DH_RETRY
This patch adds a user-configurable 'pg_init_delay_msecs' feature.  Use
this feature to specify the number of milliseconds to delay before
retrying scsi_dh_activate, when SCSI_DH_RETRY is returned.

SCSI Device Handlers return SCSI_DH_IMM_RETRY if we could retry
activation immediately and SCSI_DH_RETRY in cases where it is better to
retry after some delay.

Currently we immediately retry scsi_dh_activate irrespective of
SCSI_DH_IMM_RETRY and SCSI_DH_RETRY.

The 'pg_init_delay_msecs' feature may be provided during table create or
load, e.g.:
    dmsetup create --table "0 20971520 multipath 3 queue_if_no_path \
	pg_init_delay_msecs 2500 ..." mpatha

The default for 'pg_init_delay_msecs' is 2000 milliseconds.
Maximum configurable delay is 60000 milliseconds.  Specifying a
'pg_init_delay_msecs' of 0 will cause immediate retry.

Revert commit 224cb3e981
  dm: Call blk_abort_queue on failed paths

Multipath began to use blk_abort_queue() to allow for
lower latency path deactivation.  This was found to
cause list corruption:

   the cmd gets blk_abort_queued/timedout run on it and the scsi eh
   somehow is able to complete and run scsi_queue_insert while
   scsi_request_fn is still trying to process the request.

Mike Snitzer 959eb4e559 dm mpath: support discard
Enable discard support in the DM multipath target.

This discard support depends on a few discard-specific fixes to the
block layer's request stacking driver methods.

Discard requests are optional so don't allow a failed discard to trigger
path failures.  If there is a real problem with a given path the
barriers associated with the discard (either before or after the
discard) will cause path failure.  That said, unconditionally passing
discard failures up the stack is not ideal.  This must be fixed once DM
has more information about the nature of the underlying storage failure.

Kiyoshi Ueda d0259bf0ee dm mpath: hold io until all pg_inits completed
m->queue_io is set to block processing I/Os, and it needs to be kept
while pg-init, which issues multiple path activations, is in progress.
But m->queue is cleared when a path activation completes without error
in pg_init_done(), even while other path activations are in progress.
That may cause undesired -EIO on paths which are not complete activation.

This patch fixes that by not clearing m->queue_io until all path
activations complete.

(Before the hardware handlers were moved into the SCSI layer, pg_init
only used one path.)

This patch adds two minor fixes while processing device mapper path activation.

Skip failed paths while calling activate_path.  If the path is already failed
then activate_path will fail for sure. We don't have to call in that case. In
some case this might cause prolonged retries unnecessarily.

Change the misleading message if the path being activated fails with SCSI_DH_NOSYS.

Kiyoshi Ueda f40c67f0f7 dm mpath: change to be request based
This patch converts dm-multipath target to request-based from bio-based.

Basically, the patch just converts the I/O unit from struct bio
to struct request.
In the course of the conversion, it also changes the I/O queueing
mechanism.  The change in the I/O queueing is described in details
as follows.

I/O queueing mechanism change
-----------------------------
In I/O submission, map_io(), there is no mechanism change from
bio-based, since the clone request is ready for retry as it is.
However, in I/O complition, do_end_io(), there is a mechanism change
from bio-based, since the clone request is not ready for retry.

In do_end_io() of bio-based, the clone bio has all needed memory
for resubmission.  So the target driver can queue it and resubmit
it later without memory allocations.
The mechanism has almost no overhead.

On the other hand, in do_end_io() of request-based, the clone request
doesn't have clone bios, so the target driver can't resubmit it
as it is.  To resubmit the clone request, memory allocation for
clone bios is needed, and it takes some overheads.
To avoid the overheads just for queueing, the target driver doesn't
queue the clone request inside itself.
Instead, the target driver asks dm core for queueing and remapping
the original request of the clone request, since the overhead for
queueing is just a freeing memory for the clone request.

As a result, the target driver doesn't need to record/restore
the information of the original request for resubmitting
the clone request.  So dm_bio_details in dm_mpath_io is removed.

multipath_busy()
---------------------
The target driver returns "busy", only when the following case:
  o The target driver will map I/Os, if map() function is called
  and
  o The mapped I/Os will wait on underlying device's queue due to
    their congestions, if map() function is called now.

In other cases, the target driver doesn't return "busy".
Otherwise, dm core will keep the I/Os and the target driver can't
do what it wants.
(e.g. the target driver can't map I/Os now, so wants to kill I/Os.)

Kiyoshi Ueda 02ab823fd1 dm mpath: add start_io and nr_bytes to path selectors
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.)

Mikulas Patocka 53b351f972 dm mpath: flush keventd queue in destructor
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.
I've already fixed similar bug in dm-raid1.

Chandra Seetharaman e54f77ddda dm mpath: call activate fn for each path in pg_init
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.

Hannes Reinecke a0cf7ea954 dm mpath: change attached scsi_dh
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.
