commit 09869de57ed2728ae3c619803932a86cb0e2c4f8 upstream.
DM thinp already checks whether the discard_granularity of the data
device is a factor of the thin-pool block size. But when using the
dm-thin-pool's discard passdown support, DM thinp was not selecting the
max of the underlying data device's discard_granularity and the
thin-pool's block size.
Update set_discard_limits() to set discard_granularity to the max of
these values. This enables blkdev_issue_discard() to properly align the
discards that are sent to the DM thin device on a full block boundary.
As such each discard will now cover an entire DM thin-pool block and the
block will be reclaimed.

commit 1acacc0784aab45627b6009e0e9224886279ac0b upstream.
dm_pool_close_thin_device() must be called if dm_set_target_max_io_len()
fails in thin_ctr(). Otherwise __pool_destroy() will fail because the
pool will still have an open thin device:
device-mapper: thin metadata: attempt to close pmd when 1 device(s) are still open
device-mapper: thin: __pool_destroy: dm_pool_metadata_close() failed.
Also, must establish error code if failing thin_ctr() because the pool

commit 19fa1a6756ed9e92daa9537c03b47d6b55cc2316 upstream.
If a snapshot is created and later deleted the origin dm_thin_device's
snapshotted_time will have been updated to reflect the snapshot's
creation time. The 'shared' flag in the dm_thin_lookup_result struct
returned from dm_thin_find_block() is an approximation based on
snapshotted_time -- this is done to avoid 0(n), or worse, time
complexity. In this case, the shared flag would be true.
But because the 'shared' flag reflects an approximation a block can be
incorrectly assumed to be shared (e.g. false positive for 'shared'
because the snapshot no longer exists). This could result in discards
issued to a thin device not being passed down to the pool's underlying
data device.
To fix this we double check that a thin block is really still in-use
after a mapping is removed using dm_pool_block_is_used(). If the
reference count for a block is now zero the discard is allowed to be
passed down.
Also add a 'definitely_not_shared' member to the dm_thin_new_mapping
structure -- reflects that the 'shared' flag in the response from
dm_thin_find_block() can only be held as definitive if false is
returned.

commit fafc7a815e40255d24e80a1cb7365892362fa398 upstream.
Switch the thin pool to read-only mode when dm_thin_insert_block() fails
since there is little reason to expect the cause of the failure to be
resolved without further action by user space.
This issue was noticed with the device-mapper-test-suite using:
dmtest run --suite thin-provisioning -n /exhausting_metadata_space_causes_fail_mode/
The quantity of errors logged in this case must be reduced.

Fix a discard granularity calculation to work for non power of 2 block sizes.
In order for thinp to passdown discard bios to the underlying data
device, the data device must have a discard granularity that is a
factor of the thinp block size. Originally this check was done by
using bitops since the block_size was known to be a power of two.

Fix a bug in dm_btree_remove that could leave leaf values with incorrect
reference counts. The effect of this was that removal of a shared block
could result in the space maps thinking the block was no longer used.
More concretely, if you have a thin device and a snapshot of it, sending
a discard to a shared region of the thin could corrupt the snapshot.
Thinp uses a 2-level nested btree to store it's mappings. This first
level is indexed by thin device, and the second level by logical
block.
Often when we're removing an entry in this mapping tree we need to
rebalance nodes, which can involve shadowing them, possibly creating a
copy if the block is shared. If we do create a copy then children of
that node need to have their reference counts incremented. In this
way reference counts percolate down the tree as shared trees diverge.
The rebalance functions were incrementing the children at the
appropriate time, but they were always assuming the children were
internal nodes. This meant the leaf values (in our case packed
block/flags entries) were not being incremented.

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.)

no longer block there.

This patch allows the administrator to reduce the rate at which kcopyd
issues I/O.
Each module that uses kcopyd acquires a throttle parameter that can be
set in /sys/module/*/parameters.
We maintain a history of kcopyd usage by each module in the variables
io_period and total_period in struct dm_kcopyd_throttle. The actual
kcopyd activity is calculated as a percentage of time equal to
"(100 * io_period / total_period)". This is compared with the user-defined
throttle percentage threshold and if it is exceeded, we sleep.

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.

thin_io_hints() is blindly copying the queue limits from the thin-pool
which can lead to incorrect limits being set. The fix here simply
deletes the thin_io_hints() hook which leaves the existing stacking
infrastructure to set the limits correctly.
When a thin-pool uses an MD device for the data device a thin device
from the thin-pool must respect MD's constraints about disallowing a bio
from spanning multiple chunks. Otherwise we can see problems. If the raid0
chunksize is 1152K and thin-pool chunksize is 256K I see the following
md/raid0 error (with extra debug tracing added to thin_endio) when
mkfs.xfs is executed against the thin device:
md/raid0:md99: make_request bug: can't convert block across chunks or bigger than 1152k 6688 127
device-mapper: thin: bio sector=2080 err=-5 bi_size=130560 bi_rw=17 bi_vcnt=32 bi_idx=0
This extra DM debugging shows that the failing bio is spanning across
the first and second logical 1152K chunk (sector 2080 + 255 takes the
bio beyond the first chunk's boundary of sector 2304). So the bio
splitting that DM is doing clearly isn't respecting the MD limits.
max_hw_sectors_kb is 127 for both the thin-pool and thin device
(queue_max_hw_sectors returns 255 so we'll excuse sysfs's lack of
precision). So this explains why bi_size is 130560.
But the thin device's max_hw_sectors_kb should be 4 (PAGE_SIZE) given
that it doesn't have a .merge function (for bio_add_page to consult
indirectly via dm_merge_bvec) yet the thin-pool does sit above an MD
device that has a compulsory merge_bvec_fn. This scenario is exactly
why DM must resort to sending single PAGE_SIZE bios to the underlying
layer. Some additional context for this is available in the header for
commit 8cbeb67a ("dm: avoid unsupported spanning of md stripe boundaries").
Long story short, the reason a thin device doesn't properly get
configured to have a max_hw_sectors_kb of 4 (PAGE_SIZE) is that
thin_io_hints() is blindly copying the queue limits from the thin-pool
device directly to the thin device's queue limits.
Fix this by eliminating thin_io_hints. Doing so is safe because the
block layer's queue limits stacking already enables the upper level thin
device to inherit the thin-pool device's discard and minimum_io_size and
optimal_io_size limits that get set in pool_io_hints. But avoiding the
queue limits copy allows the thin and thin-pool limits to be different
where it is important, namely max_hw_sectors_kb.

Add WRITE SAME support to dm-io and make it accessible to
dm_kcopyd_zero(). dm_kcopyd_zero() provides an asynchronous interface
whereas the blkdev_issue_write_same() interface is synchronous.
WRITE SAME is a SCSI command that can be leveraged for more efficient
zeroing of a specified logical extent of a device which supports it.
Only a single zeroed logical block is transfered to the target for each
WRITE SAME and the target then writes that same block across the
specified extent.
The dm thin target uses this.

There is a race when discard bios and non-discard bios are issued
simultaneously to the same block.
Discard support is expensive for all thin devices precisely because you
have to be careful to quiesce the area you're discarding. DM thin must
handle this conflicting IO pattern (simultaneous non-discard vs discard)
even though a sane application shouldn't be issuing such IO.
The race manifests as follows:
1. A non-discard bio is mapped in thin_bio_map.
This doesn't lock out parallel activity to the same block.
2. A discard bio is issued to the same block as the non-discard bio.
3. The discard bio is locked in a dm_bio_prison_cell in process_discard
to lock out parallel activity against the same block.
4. The non-discard bio's mapping continues and its all_io_entry is
incremented so the bio is accounted for in the thin pool's all_io_ds
which is a dm_deferred_set used to track time locality of non-discard IO.
5. The non-discard bio is finally locked in a dm_bio_prison_cell in
process_bio.
The race can result in deadlock, leaving the block layer hanging waiting
for completion of a discard bio that never completes, e.g.:
INFO: task ruby:15354 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

The thinp-test-suite's test_discard_random_sectors reliably hits this
deadlock on fast SSD storage.
The fix for this race is that the all_io_entry for a bio must be
incremented whilst the dm_bio_prison_cell is held for the bio's
associated virtual and physical blocks. That cell locking wasn't
occurring early enough in thin_bio_map. This patch fixes this.
Care is taken to always call the new function inc_all_io_entry() with
the relevant cells locked, but they are generally unlocked before
calling issue() to try to avoid holding the cells locked across
generic_submit_request.
Also, now that thin_bio_map may lock bios in a cell, process_bio() is no
longer the only thread that will do so. Because of this we must be sure
to use cell_defer_except() to release all non-holder entries, that
were added by the other thread, because they must be deferred.
This patch depends on "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".

Support discards when the pool's block size is not a power of 2.
The block layer assumes discard_granularity is a power of 2 (in
blkdev_issue_discard), so we set this to the largest power of 2 that is
a divides into the number of sectors in each block, but never less than
DATA_DEV_BLOCK_SIZE_MIN_SECTORS.
This patch eliminates the "Discard support must be disabled when the
block size is not a power of 2" constraint that was imposed in commit
55f2b8b ("dm thin: support for non power of 2 pool blocksize"). That
commit was incomplete: using a block size that is not a power of 2
shouldn't mean disabling discard support on the device completely.

The discard limits that get established for a thin-pool or thin device
may be incompatible with the pool's data device. Avoid this by checking
the discard limits of the pool's data device. If an incompatibility is
found then the pool's 'discard passdown' feature is disabled.
Change thin_io_hints to ensure that a thin device always uses the same
queue limits as its pool device.
Introduce requested_pf to track whether or not the table line originally
contained the no_discard_passdown flag and use this directly for table
output. We prepare the correct setting for discard_passdown directly in
bind_control_target (called from pool_io_hints) and store it in
adjusted_pf rather than waiting until we have access to pool->pf in
pool_preresume.

A little thin discard code refactoring to make the next patch (dm thin:
fix discard support for data devices) more readable.
Pull out a couple of functions (and uses bools instead of unsigned for
features).

The dm thin pool target claims to support the zeroing of discarded
data areas. This turns out to be incorrect when processing discards
that do not exactly cover a complete number of blocks, so the target
must always set discard_zeroes_data_unsupported.
The thin pool target will zero blocks when they are allocated if the
skip_block_zeroing feature is not specified. The block layer
may send a discard that only partly covers a block. If a thin pool
block is partially discarded then there is no guarantee that the
discarded data will get zeroed before it is accessed again.
Due to this, thin devices cannot claim discards will always zero data.

Commit outstanding metadata before returning the status for a dm thin
pool so that the numbers reported are as up-to-date as possible.
The commit is not performed if the device is suspended or if
the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG is supplied by userspace and passed to the target
through a new 'status_flags' parameter in the target's dm_status_fn.
The userspace dmsetup tool will support the --noflush flag with the
'dmsetup status' and 'dmsetup wait' commands from version 1.02.76
onwards.

Add read-only and fail-io modes to thin provisioning.
If a transaction commit fails the pool's metadata device will transition
to "read-only" mode. If a commit fails once already in read-only mode
the transition to "fail-io" mode occurs.
Once in fail-io mode the pool and all associated thin devices will
report a status of "Fail".

dm-thin will be most likely used with a block size that is a power of
two. So it should be optimized for this case.
This patch changes division and modulo operations to shifts and bit
masks if block size is a power of two.
A test that bi_sector is divisible by a block size is removed from
io_overlaps_block. Device mapper never sends bios that span a block
boundary. Consequently, if we tested that bi_size is equivalent to block
size, bi_sector must already be on a block boundary.

This patch sets the variable "ti->split_discard_requests" for the dm thin
target so that device mapper core splits discard requests on a block
boundary.
Consequently, a discard request that spans multiple blocks is never sent
to dm-thin. The patch also removes some code in process_discard that
deals with discards that span multiple blocks.

Non power of 2 blocksize support is needed to properly align thinp IO
on storage that has non power of 2 optimal IO sizes (e.g. RAID6 10+2).
Use sector_div to support non power of 2 blocksize for the pool's
data device. This provides comparable performance to the power of 2
math that was performed until now (as tested on modern x86_64 hardware).
The kernel currently assumes that limits->discard_granularity is a power
of two so the thin target only enables discard support if the block
size is a power of two.
Eliminate pool structure's 'block_shift', 'offset_mask' and
remaining 4 byte holes.

Remove the restriction that limits a target's specified maximum incoming
I/O size to be a power of 2.
Rename this setting from 'split_io' to the less-ambiguous 'max_io_len'.
Change it from sector_t to uint32_t, which is plenty big enough, and
introduce a wrapper function dm_set_target_max_io_len() to set it.
Use sector_div() to process it now that it is not necessarily a power of 2.
