Joe Thornber 5f274d8865 dm bio prison: introduce support for locking ranges of blocks
Ranges will be placed in the same cell if they overlap.

Range locking is a prerequisite for more efficient multi-block discard
support in both the cache and thin-provisioning targets.

Joe Thornber 2d759a46b4 dm thin: remap the bios in a cell immediately
This use of direct submission in process_prepared_mapping() reduces
latency for submitting bios in a cell by avoiding adding those bios to
the deferred list and waiting for the next iteration of the worker.

But this direct submission exposes the potential for a race between
releasing a cell and incrementing deferred set.  Fix this by introducing
dm_cell_visit_release() and refactoring inc_remap_and_issue_cell()
accordingly.

Joe Thornber a195db2d29 dm bio prison: switch to using a red black tree
Previously it was using a fixed sized hash table.  There are times
when very many concurrent cells are held (such as when processing a very
large discard).  When this happens the hash table performance becomes
very poor.

Heinz Mauelshagen adcc44472b dm bio prison: implement per bucket locking in the dm_bio_prison hash table
Split the single per bio-prison lock by using per bucket locking.  Per
bucket locking benefits both dm-thin and dm-cache targets by reducing
bio-prison lock contention.

Mike Snitzer af91805a49 dm thin: return ENOSPC instead of EIO when error_if_no_space enabled
Update the DM thin provisioning target's allocation failure error to be
consistent with commit a9d6ceb8 ("[SCSI] return ENOSPC on thin
provisioning failure").

The DM thin target now returns -ENOSPC rather than -EIO when
block allocation fails due to the pool being out of data space (and
the 'error_if_no_space' thin-pool feature is enabled).

Joe Thornber c6b4fcbad0 dm: add cache target
Add a target that allows a fast device such as an SSD to be used as a
cache for a slower device such as a disk.

A plug-in architecture was chosen so that the decisions about which data
to migrate and when are delegated to interchangeable tunable policy
modules.  The first general purpose module we have developed, called
"mq" (multiqueue), follows in the next patch.  Other modules are
under development.

Joe Thornber 025b96853f dm thin: remove cells from stack
This patch takes advantage of the new bio-prison interface where the
memory is now passed in rather than using a mempool in bio-prison.
This allows the map function to avoid performing potentially-blocking
allocations that could lead to deadlocks: We want to avoid the cell
allocation that is done in bio_detain.

(The potential for mempool deadlocks still remains in other functions
that use bio_detain.)

Joe Thornber 6beca5eb6e dm bio prison: pass cell memory in
Change the dm_bio_prison interface so that instead of allocating memory
internally, dm_bio_detain is supplied with a pre-allocated cell each
time it is called.

This enables a subsequent patch to move the allocation of the struct
dm_bio_prison_cell outside the thin target's mapping function so it can
no longer block there.

Sasha Levin b67bfe0d42 hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived

        list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)

The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:

        hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)

Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.

Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:

 - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
 - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
 - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
 was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
 - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
 properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

Joe Thornber b7ca9c9273 dm thin: replace dm_cell_release_singleton with cell_defer_except
Change existing users of the function dm_cell_release_singleton to share
cell_defer_except instead, and then remove the now-unused function.

Everywhere that calls dm_cell_release_singleton, the bio in question
is the holder of the cell.

If there are no non-holder entries in the cell then cell_defer_except
behaves exactly like dm_cell_release_singleton.  Conversely, if there
*are* non-holder entries then dm_cell_release_singleton must not be used
because those entries would need to be deferred.

Consequently, it is safe to replace use of dm_cell_release_singleton
with cell_defer_except.

This patch is a pre-requisite for "dm thin: fix race between
simultaneous io and discards to same block".
