With commit fe64369163c5 ("dm thin: don't allow changing data device
during thin-pool load") it is now possible to re-parent the data
device's flush_bio from the pool_c to pool structure. Doing so offers
improved lifetime guarantees for the flush_bio so that the call to
dm_pool_register_pre_commit_callback can now be done safely from
pool_ctr().

The existing code allows changing the data device when the thin-pool
target is reloaded.
This capability is not required and only complicates device lifetime
guarantees. This can cause crashes like the one reported here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1788596
where the kernel tries to issue a flush bio located in a structure that
was already freed.
Take the first step to simplifying the thin-pool's data device lifetime
by disallowing changing it. Like the thin-pool's metadata device, the
data device is now set in pool_create() and it cannot be changed for a
given thin-pool.

dm-thin uses struct pool to hold the state of the pool. There may be
multiple pool_c's pointing to a given pool, each pool_c represents a
loaded target. pool_c's may be created and destroyed arbitrarily and the
pool contains a reference count of pool_c's pointing to it.
Since commit 694cfe7f31 ("dm thin: Flush data device before
committing metadata") a pointer to pool_c is passed to
dm_pool_register_pre_commit_callback and this function stores it in
pmd->pre_commit_context. If this pool_c is freed, but pool is not
(because there is another pool_c referencing it), we end up in a
situation where pmd->pre_commit_context structure points to freed
pool_c. It causes a crash in metadata_pre_commit_callback.
Fix this by moving the dm_pool_register_pre_commit_callback() from
pool_ctr() to pool_preresume(). This way the in-core thin-pool metadata
is only ever armed with callback data whose lifetime matches the
active thin-pool target.
In should be noted that this fix preserves the ability to load a
thin-pool table that uses a different data block device (that contains
the same data) -- though it is unclear if that capability is still
useful and/or needed.

The thin provisioning target maintains per thin device mappings that map
virtual blocks to data blocks in the data device.
When we write to a shared block, in case of internal snapshots, or
provision a new block, in case of external snapshots, we copy the shared
block to a new data block (COW), update the mapping for the relevant
virtual block and then issue the write to the new data block.
Suppose the data device has a volatile write-back cache and the
following sequence of events occur:
1. We write to a shared block
2. A new data block is allocated
3. We copy the shared block to the new data block using kcopyd (COW)
4. We insert the new mapping for the virtual block in the btree for that
thin device.
5. The commit timeout expires and we commit the metadata, that now
includes the new mapping from step (4).
6. The system crashes and the data device's cache has not been flushed,
meaning that the COWed data are lost.
The next time we read that virtual block of the thin device we read it
from the data block allocated in step (2), since the metadata have been
successfully committed. The data are lost due to the crash, so we read
garbage instead of the old, shared data.
This has the following implications:
1. In case of writes to shared blocks, with size smaller than the pool's
block size (which means we first copy the whole block and then issue
the smaller write), we corrupt data that the user never touched.
2. In case of writes to shared blocks, with size equal to the device's
logical block size, we fail to provide atomic sector writes. When the
system recovers the user will read garbage from that sector instead
of the old data or the new data.
3. Even for writes to shared blocks, with size equal to the pool's block
size (overwrites), after the system recovers, the written sectors
will contain garbage instead of a random mix of sectors containing
either old data or new data, thus we fail again to provide atomic
sectors writes.
4. Even when the user flushes the thin device, because we first commit
the metadata and then pass down the flush, the same risk for
corruption exists (if the system crashes after the metadata have been
committed but before the flush is passed down to the data device.)
The only case which is unaffected is that of writes with size equal to
the pool's block size and with the FUA flag set. But, because FUA writes
trigger metadata commits, this case can trigger the corruption
indirectly.
Moreover, apart from internal and external snapshots, the same issue
exists for newly provisioned blocks, when block zeroing is enabled.
After the system recovers the provisioned blocks might contain garbage
instead of zeroes.
To solve this and avoid the potential data corruption we flush the
pool's data device **before** committing its metadata.
This ensures that the data blocks of any newly inserted mappings are
properly written to non-volatile storage and won't be lost in case of a
crash.

Single thread fio test (read, bs=4k, ioengine=libaio, iodepth=128,
numjobs=1) over dm-thin device has poor performance versus bare nvme
device.
Further investigation with perf indicates that queue_work_on() consumes
over 20% CPU time when doing IO over dm-thin device. The call stack is
as follows.
- 40.57% thin_map
+ 22.07% queue_work_on
+ 9.95% dm_thin_find_block
+ 2.80% cell_defer_no_holder
1.91% inc_all_io_entry.isra.33.part.34
+ 1.78% bio_detain.isra.35
In cell_defer_no_holder(), wakeup_worker() is always called, no matter
whether the tc->deferred_bio_list list is empty or not. In single thread
IO model, this list is most likely empty. So skip waking up worker thread
if tc->deferred_bio_list list is empty.
Single thread IO performance improves from 448 MiB/s to 646 MiB/s (+44%)
once the needless wake_worker() calls are properly skipped.

Invoking dm_get_device() twice on the same device path with different
modes is dangerous. Because in that case, upgrade_mode() will alloc a
new 'dm_dev' and free the old one, which may be referenced by a previous

pointer dereference.
The following two cases can reproduce this issue. Actually, they are

When provisioning a new data block for a virtual block, either because
the block was previously unallocated or because we are breaking sharing,
if the whole block of data is being overwritten the bio that triggered
the provisioning is issued immediately, skipping copying or zeroing of
the data block.
When this bio completes the new mapping is inserted in to the pool's
metadata by process_prepared_mapping(), where the bio completion is
signaled to the upper layers.
This completion is signaled without first committing the metadata. If
the bio in question has the REQ_FUA flag set and the system crashes
right after its completion and before the next metadata commit, then the
write is lost despite the REQ_FUA flag requiring that I/O completion for
this request must only be signaled after the data has been committed to
non-volatile storage.
Fix this by deferring the completion of overwrite bios, with the REQ_FUA
flag set, until after the metadata has been committed.

increment all the blocks being discarded until after the passdown had
completed to avoid them being prematurely reused.
IO issued to a thin device that breaks sharing with a snapshot, followed
by a discard issued to snapshot(s) that previously shared the block(s),
results in passdown_double_checking_shared_status() being called to
iterate through the blocks double checking their reference count is zero
and issuing the passdown if so. So a side effect of commit 00a0ea33b4
is passdown_double_checking_shared_status() was broken.
Fix this by checking if the block reference count is greater than 1.
Also, rename dm_pool_block_is_used() to dm_pool_block_is_shared().

Sending a DM event before a thin-pool state change is about to happen is
a bug. It wasn't realized until it became clear that userspace response
to the event raced with the actual state change that the event was
meant to notify about.
Fix this by first updating internal thin-pool state to reflect what the
DM event is being issued about. This fixes a long-standing racey/buggy
userspace device-mapper-test-suite 'resize_io' test that would get an
event but not find the state it was looking for -- so it would just go
on to hang because no other events caused the test to reevaluate the
thin-pool's state.

Committing a transaction can consume some metadata of it's own, we now
reserve a small amount of metadata to cover this. Free metadata
reported by the kernel will not include this reserve.
If any of the reserve has been used after a commit we enter a new
internal state PM_OUT_OF_METADATA_SPACE. This is reported as
PM_READ_ONLY, so no userland changes are needed. If the metadata
device is resized the pool will move back to PM_WRITE.
These changes mean we never need to abort and rollback a transaction due
to running out of metadata space. This is particularly important
because there have been a handful of reports of data corruption against
DM thin-provisioning that can all be attributed to the thin-pool having
ran out of metadata space.

The metadata low watermark threshold is set by the kernel. But the
kernel depends on userspace to extend the thinpool metadata device when
the threshold is crossed.
Since the metadata low watermark threshold is not visible to userspace,
upon receiving an event, userspace cannot tell that the kernel wants the
metadata device extended, instead of some other eventing condition.
Making it visible (but not settable) enables userspace to affirmatively
know the kernel is asking for a metadata device extension, by comparing
metadata_low_watermark against nr_free_blocks_metadata, also reported in
status.
Current solutions like dmeventd have their own thresholds for extending
the data and metadata devices, and both devices are checked against
their thresholds on each event. This lessens the value of the kernel-set
threshold, since userspace will either extend the metadata device sooner,
when receiving another event; or will receive the metadata lowater event
and do nothing, if dmeventd's threshold is less than the kernel's.
(This second case is dangerous. The metadata lowater event will not be
re-sent, so no further event will be generated before the metadata
device is out if space, unless some other event causes userspace to
recheck its thresholds.)

Discards issued to a DM thin device can complete to userspace (via
fstrim) _before_ the metadata changes associated with the discards is
reflected in the thinp superblock (e.g. free blocks). As such, if a
user constructs a test that loops repeatedly over these steps, block
allocation can fail due to discards not having completed yet:
1) fill thin device via filesystem file
2) remove file
3) fstrim
From initial report, here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2018-April/msg00022.html
"The root cause of this issue is that dm-thin will first remove
mapping and increase corresponding blocks' reference count to prevent
them from being reused before DISCARD bios get processed by the
underlying layers. However. increasing blocks' reference count could
also increase the nr_allocated_this_transaction in struct sm_disk
which makes smd->old_ll.nr_allocated +
smd->nr_allocated_this_transaction bigger than smd->old_ll.nr_blocks.
In this case, alloc_data_block() will never commit metadata to reset
the begin pointer of struct sm_disk, because sm_disk_get_nr_free()
always return an underflow value."
While there is room for improvement to the space-map accounting that
thinp is making use of: the reality is this test is inherently racey and
will result in the previous iteration's fstrim's discard(s) completing
vs concurrent block allocation, via dd, in the next iteration of the
loop.
No amount of space map accounting improvements will be able to allow
user's to use a block before a discard of that block has completed.
So the best we can really do is allow DM thinp to gracefully handle such
aggressive use of all the pool's data by degrading the pool into
out-of-data-space (OODS) mode. We _should_ get that behaviour already
(if space map accounting didn't falsely cause alloc_data_block() to
believe free space was available).. but short of that we handle the
current reality that dm_pool_alloc_data_block() can return -ENOSPC.

Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the
coccinelle script shown below and apply its output.
For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in
churn.
However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to
correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write
accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining
ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following
coccinelle script:

// Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and
// WRITE_ONCE()

This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).
For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device. But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.
Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
over the stack.

Pull core block/IO updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the main pull request for the block layer for 4.13. Not a huge
round in terms of features, but there's a lot of churn related to some
core cleanups.
Note this depends on the UUID tree pull request, that Christoph
already sent out.
This pull request contains:
- A series from Christoph, unifying the error/stats codes in the
block layer. We now use blk_status_t everywhere, instead of using
different schemes for different places.
- Also from Christoph, some cleanups around request allocation and IO
scheduler interactions in blk-mq.
- And yet another series from Christoph, cleaning up how we handle
and do bounce buffering in the block layer.
- A blk-mq debugfs series from Bart, further improving on the support
we have for exporting internal information to aid debugging IO
hangs or stalls.
- Also from Bart, a series that cleans up the request initialization
differences across types of devices.
- A series from Goldwyn Rodrigues, allowing the block layer to return
failure if we will block and the user asked for non-blocking.
- Patch from Hannes for supporting setting loop devices block size to
that of the underlying device.
- Two series of patches from Javier, fixing various issues with
lightnvm, particular around pblk.
- A series from me, adding support for write hints. This comes with
NVMe support as well, so applications can help guide data placement
on flash to improve performance, latencies, and write
amplification.
- A series from Ming, improving and hardening blk-mq support for
stopping/starting and quiescing hardware queues.
- Two pull requests for NVMe updates. Nothing major on the feature
side, but lots of cleanups and bug fixes. From the usual crew.
- A series from Neil Brown, greatly improving the bio rescue set
support. Most notably, this kills the bio rescue work queues, if we
don't really need them.
- Lots of other little bug fixes that are all over the place"

process_prepared_discard_passdown_pt1() should cleanup
dm_thin_new_mapping in cases of error.
dm_pool_inc_data_range() can fail trying to get a block reference:
metadata operation 'dm_pool_inc_data_range' failed: error = -61
When dm_pool_inc_data_range() fails, dm thin aborts current metadata
transaction and marks pool as PM_READ_ONLY. Memory for thin mapping
is released as well. However, current thin mapping will be queued
onto next stage as part of queue_passdown_pt2() or passdown_endio().
This dangling thin mapping memory when processed and accessed in
next stage will lead to device mapper crashing.
Code flow without fix:
-> process_prepared_discard_passdown_pt1(m)
-> dm_thin_remove_range()
-> discard passdown
--> passdown_endio(m) queues m onto next stage
-> dm_pool_inc_data_range() fails, frees memory m
but does not remove it from next stage queue
-> process_prepared_discard_passdown_pt2(m)
-> processes freed memory m and crashes

The fix is to first take the block ref count for discarded block and
then do a passdown discard of this block. If block ref count fails,
then bail out aborting current metadata transaction, mark pool as
PM_READ_ONLY and also free current thin mapping memory (existing error
handling code) without queueing this thin mapping onto next stage of
processing. If block ref count succeeds, then passdown discard of this
block. Discard callback of passdown_endio() will queue this thin mapping
onto next stage of processing.
Code flow with fix:
-> process_prepared_discard_passdown_pt1(m)
-> dm_thin_remove_range()
-> dm_pool_inc_data_range()
--> if fails, free memory m and bail out
-> discard passdown
--> passdown_endio(m) queues m onto next stage

The discard passdown was being issued after the block was unmapped,
which meant the block could be reprovisioned whilst the passdown discard
was still in flight.
We can only identify unshared blocks (safe to do a passdown a discard
to) once they're unmapped and their ref count hits zero. Block ref
counts are now used to guard against concurrent allocation of these
blocks that are being discarded. So now we unmap the block, issue
passdown discards, and the immediately increment ref counts for regions
that have been discarded via passed down (this is safe because
allocation occurs within the same thread). We then decrement ref counts
once the passdown discard IO is complete -- signaling these blocks may
now be allocated.
This fixes the potential for corruption that was reported here:
