Mikulas Patocka fe3265b180 dm: don't save and restore bi_private
Device mapper used the field bi_private to point to dm_target_io. However,
since kernel 3.15, the bi_private field is unused, and so the targets do
not need to save and restore this field.

This patch removes code that saves and restores bi_private from dm-cache,
dm-snapshot and dm-verity.

Linus Torvalds 1e1a4e8f43 Merge tag 'dm-4.3-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm
Pull device mapper update from Mike Snitzer:

 - a couple small cleanups in dm-cache, dm-verity, persistent-data's
   dm-btree, and DM core.

 - a 4.1-stable fix for dm-cache that fixes the leaking of deferred bio
   prison cells

 - a 4.2-stable fix that adds feature reporting for the dm-stats
   features added in 4.2

 - improve DM-snapshot to not invalidate the on-disk snapshot if
   snapshot device write overflow occurs; but a write overflow triggered
   through the origin device will still invalidate the snapshot.

 - optimize DM-thinp's async discard submission a bit now that late bio
   splitting has been included in block core.

 - switch DM-cache's SMQ policy lock from using a mutex to a spinlock;
   improves performance on very low latency devices (eg. NVMe SSD).

 - document DM RAID 4/5/6's discard support

[ I did not pull the slab changes, which weren't appropriate for this
  tree, and weren't obviously the right thing to do anyway.  At the very
  least they need some discussion and explanation before getting merged.

  Because not pulling the actual tagged commit but doing a partial pull
  instead, this merge commit thus also obviously is missing the git
  signature from the original tag ]

Linus Torvalds 1081230b74 Merge branch 'for-4.3/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull core block updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This first core part of the block IO changes contains:

   - Cleanup of the bio IO error signaling from Christoph.  We used to
     rely on the uptodate bit and passing around of an error, now we
     store the error in the bio itself.

   - Improvement of the above from myself, by shrinking the bio size
     down again to fit in two cachelines on x86-64.

   - Revert of the max_hw_sectors cap removal from a revision again,
     from Jeff Moyer.  This caused performance regressions in various
     tests.  Reinstate the limit, bump it to a more reasonable size
     instead.

   - Make /sys/block/<dev>/queue/discard_max_bytes writeable, by me.
     Most devices have huge trim limits, which can cause nasty latencies
     when deleting files.  Enable the admin to configure the size down.
     We will look into having a more sane default instead of UINT_MAX
     sectors.

   - Improvement of the SGP gaps logic from Keith Busch.

   - Enable the block core to handle arbitrarily sized bios, which
     enables a nice simplification of bio_add_page() (which is an IO hot
     path).  From Kent.

   - Improvements to the partition io stats accounting, making it
     faster.  From Ming Lei.

   - Also from Ming Lei, a basic fixup for overflow of the sysfs pending
     file in blk-mq, as well as a fix for a blk-mq timeout race
     condition.

   - Ming Lin has been carrying Kents above mentioned patches forward
     for a while, and testing them.  Ming also did a few fixes around
     that.

   - Sasha Levin found and fixed a use-after-free problem introduced by
     the bio->bi_error changes from Christoph.

Commit 665022d72f ("dm cache: avoid calls to prealloc_free_structs() if

Fix this by accounting for the call to prealloc_data_structs()
immediately _before_ the call as opposed to after.  This is needed
because it is possible to break out of the control loop after the call
to prealloc_data_structs() but before prealloc_used was set to true.

Mike Snitzer 3508e6590d Revert "dm cache: do not wake_worker() in free_migration()"
This reverts commit 386cb7cdee.

Taking the wake_worker() out of free_migration() will slow writeback
dramatically, and hence adaptability.

Say we have 10k blocks that need writing back, but are only able to
issue 5 concurrently due to the migration bandwidth: it's imperative
that we wake_worker() immediately after migration completion; waiting
for the next 1 second wake up (via do_waker) means it'll take a long
time to write that all back.

Christoph Hellwig 4246a0b63b block: add a bi_error field to struct bio
Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:

 (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
 (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback

The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario.  Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.

So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

Joe Thornber fba10109a4 dm cache: age and write back cache entries even without active IO
The policy tick() method is normally called from interrupt context.
Both the mq and smq policies do some bottom half work for the tick
method in their map functions.  However if no IO is going through the
cache, then that bottom half work doesn't occur.  With these policies
this means recently hit entries do not age and do not get written
back as early as we'd like.

Fix this by introducing a new 'can_block' parameter to the tick()
method.  When this is set the bottom half work occurs immediately.
'can_block' is set when the tick method is called every second by the
core target (not in interrupt context).

Joe Thornber 028ae9f76f dm cache: add fail io mode and needs_check flag
If a cache metadata operation fails (e.g. transaction commit) the
cache's metadata device will abort the current transaction, set a new
needs_check flag, and the cache will transition to "read-only" mode.  If
aborting the transaction or setting the needs_check flag fails the cache
will transition to "fail-io" mode.

Once needs_check is set the cache device will not be allowed to
activate.  Activation requires write access to metadata.  Future work is
needed to add proper support for running the cache in read-only mode.

Once in fail-io mode the cache will report a status of "Fail".

Also, add commit() wrapper that will disallow commits if in read_only or
fail mode.

Joe Thornber fb4100ae7f dm cache: fix race when issuing a POLICY_REPLACE operation
There is a race between a policy deciding to replace a cache entry,
the core target writing back any dirty data from this block, and other
IO threads doing IO to the same block.

This sort of problem is avoided most of the time by the core target
grabbing a bio prison cell before making the request to the policy.
But for a demotion the core target doesn't know which block will be
demoted, so can't do this in advance.

Fix this demotion race by introducing a callback to the policy interface
that allows the policy to grab the cell on behalf of the core target.

Mike Snitzer 326e1dbb57 block: remove management of bi_remaining when restoring original bi_end_io
Commit c4cf5261 ("bio: skip atomic inc/dec of ->bi_remaining for
non-chains") regressed all existing callers that followed this pattern:
 1) saving a bio's original bi_end_io
 2) wiring up an intermediate bi_end_io
 3) restoring the original bi_end_io from intermediate bi_end_io
 4) calling bio_endio() to execute the restored original bi_end_io

The regression was due to BIO_CHAIN only ever getting set if
bio_inc_remaining() is called.  For the above pattern it isn't set until
step 3 above (step 2 would've needed to establish BIO_CHAIN).  As such
the first bio_endio(), in step 2 above, never decremented __bi_remaining
before calling the intermediate bi_end_io -- leaving __bi_remaining with
the value 1 instead of 0.  When bio_inc_remaining() occurred during step
3 it brought it to a value of 2.  When the second bio_endio() was
called, in step 4 above, it should've called the original bi_end_io but
it didn't because there was an extra reference that wasn't dropped (due
to atomic operations being optimized away since BIO_CHAIN wasn't set
upfront).

Fix this issue by removing the __bi_remaining management complexity for
all callers that use the above pattern -- bio_chain() is the only
interface that _needs_ to be concerned with __bi_remaining.  For the
above pattern callers just expect the bi_end_io they set to get called!
Remove bio_endio_nodec() and also remove all bio_inc_remaining() calls
that aren't associated with the bio_chain() interface.

Also, the bio_inc_remaining() interface has been moved local to bio.c.

Jens Axboe c4cf5261f8 bio: skip atomic inc/dec of ->bi_remaining for non-chains
Struct bio has an atomic ref count for chained bio's, and we use this
to know when to end IO on the bio. However, most bio's are not chained,
so we don't need to always introduce this atomic operation as part of
ending IO.

Add a helper to elevate the bi_remaining count, and flag the bio as
now actually needing the decrement at end_io time. Rename the field
to __bi_remaining to catch any current users of this doing the
incrementing manually.

For high IOPS workloads, this reduces the overhead of bio_endio()
substantially.

Pull device mapper changes from Mike Snitzer:

 - The most significant change this cycle is request-based DM now
   supports stacking ontop of blk-mq devices.  This blk-mq support
   changes the model request-based DM uses for cloning a request to
   relying on calling blk_get_request() directly from the underlying
   blk-mq device.

   An early consumer of this code is Intel's emerging NVMe hardware;
   thanks to Keith Busch for working on, and pushing for, these changes.

Joe Thornber a59db67656 dm cache: fix problematic dual use of a single migration count variable
Introduce a new variable to count the number of allocated migration
structures.  The existing variable cache->nr_migrations became
overloaded.  It was used to:

 i) track of the number of migrations in flight for the purposes of
    quiescing during suspend.

 ii) to estimate the amount of background IO occuring.

Recent discard changes meant that REQ_DISCARD bios are processed with
a migration.  Discards are not background IO so nr_migrations was not
incremented.  However this could cause quiescing to complete early.

(i) is now handled with a new variable cache->nr_allocated_migrations.
cache->nr_migrations has been renamed cache->nr_io_migrations.
cleanup_migration() is now called free_io_migration(), since it
decrements that variable.

Also, remove the unused cache->next_migration variable that got replaced
with with prealloc_structs a while ago.

We never bother caching a partial block that is at the back end of the

Joe Thornber 3e2e1c3098 dm cache: when reloading a discard bitset allow for a different discard block size
The discard block size can change if the origin changes size or if an
old DM cache is upgraded from using a discard block size that was equal
to cache block size.

To fix this an extent of discarded blocks is established for the purpose
of translating the old discard block size to the new in-core discard
block size and set bits.  The old (potentially huge) discard bitset is
left ondisk until it is re-written using the new in-core information on
the next successful DM cache shutdown.

Joe Thornber 7ae34e7778 dm cache: improve discard support
Safely allow the discard blocksize to be larger than the cache blocksize
by using the bio prison's range locking support.  This also improves
discard performance considerly because larger discards are issued to the
dm-cache device.  The discard blocksize was always intended to be
greater than the cache blocksize.  But until now it wasn't implemented
safely.

Also, by safely restoring the ability to have discard blocksize larger
than cache blocksize we're able to significantly reduce the memory used
for the cache's discard bitset.  Before, with a small discard blocksize,
the discard bitset could get quite large because its size is a function
of the discard blocksize and the origin device's size.  For example,
previously, using a 32KB cache blocksize with a 40TB origin resulted in
1280MB of incore memory use for the discard bitset!  Now, the discard
blocksize is scaled up accordingly to ensure the discard bitset is
capped at 2**14 bits, or 16KB.

Anssi Hannula 40aa978ecc dm cache: fix race causing dirty blocks to be marked as clean
When a writeback or a promotion of a block is completed, the cell of
that block is removed from the prison, the block is marked as clean, and
the clear_dirty() callback of the cache policy is called.

Unfortunately, performing those actions in this order allows an incoming
new write bio for that block to come in before clearing the dirty status
is completed and therefore possibly causing one of these two scenarios:

Scenario A:

Thread 1                      Thread 2
cell_defer()                  .
- cell removed from prison    .
- detained bios queued        .
.                             incoming write bio
.                             remapped to cache
.                             set_dirty() called,
.                               but block already dirty
.                               => it does nothing
clear_dirty()                 .
- block marked clean          .
- policy clear_dirty() called .

Result: Block is marked clean even though it is actually dirty. No
writeback will occur.

Scenario B:

Thread 1                      Thread 2
cell_defer()                  .
- cell removed from prison    .
- detained bios queued        .
clear_dirty()                 .
- block marked clean          .
.                             incoming write bio
.                             remapped to cache
.                             set_dirty() called
.                             - block marked dirty
.                             - policy set_dirty() called
- policy clear_dirty() called .

Result: Block is properly marked as dirty, but policy thinks it is clean
and therefore never asks us to writeback it.
This case is visible in "dmsetup status" dirty block count (which
normally decreases to 0 on a quiet device).

Fix these issues by calling clear_dirty() before calling cell_defer().
Incoming bios for that block will then be detained in the cell and
released only after clear_dirty() has completed, so the race will not
occur.

Found by inspecting the code after noticing spurious dirty counts
(scenario B).

Mike Snitzer b02465308f dm cache: set minimum_io_size to cache's data block size
Before, if the block layer's limit stacking didn't establish an
optimal_io_size that was compatible with the cache's data block size
we'd set optimal_io_size to the data block size and minimum_io_size to 0
(which the block layer adjusts to be physical_block_size).

Update cache_io_hints() to set both minimum_io_size and optimal_io_size
to the cache's data block size.  This fixes an issue where mkfs.xfs
would create more XFS Allocation Groups on cache volumes than on a
normal linear LV of comparable size.
