For device mapper targets to take advantage of IMA's measurement
capabilities, the status functions for the individual targets need to be
updated to handle the status_type_t case for value STATUSTYPE_IMA.
Update status functions for the following target types, to log their
respective attributes to be measured using IMA.
01. cache
02. crypt
03. integrity
04. linear
05. mirror
06. multipath
07. raid
08. snapshot
09. striped
10. verity
For rest of the targets, handle the STATUSTYPE_IMA case by setting the
measurement buffer to NULL.
For IMA to measure the data on a given system, the IMA policy on the
system needs to be updated to have the following line, and the system
needs to be restarted for the measurements to take effect.
/etc/ima/ima-policy
measure func=CRITICAL_DATA label=device-mapper template=ima-buf
The measurements will be reflected in the IMA logs, which are located at:
/sys/kernel/security/integrity/ima/ascii_runtime_measurements
/sys/kernel/security/integrity/ima/binary_runtime_measurements
These IMA logs can later be consumed by various attestation clients
running on the system, and send them to external services for attesting
the system.
The DM target data measured by IMA subsystem can alternatively
be queried from userspace by setting DM_IMA_MEASUREMENT_FLAG with
DM_TABLE_STATUS_CMD.

The following commands will crash the kernel:
modprobe brd rd_size=1048576
dmsetup create o --table "0 `blockdev --getsize /dev/ram0` snapshot-origin /dev/ram0"
dmsetup create s --table "0 `blockdev --getsize /dev/ram0` snapshot /dev/ram0 /dev/ram1 N 0"
The reason is that when we test for zero chunk size, we jump to the label
bad_read_metadata without setting the "r" variable. The function
snapshot_ctr destroys all the structures and then exits with "r == 0". The
kernel then crashes because it falsely believes that snapshot_ctr
succeeded.
In order to fix the bug, we set the variable "r" to -EINVAL.

If the origin device has a volatile write-back cache and the following

1: After finishing merge operation of one set of exceptions,
merge_callback() is invoked.
2: Update the metadata in COW device tracking the merge completion.
This update to COW device is flushed cleanly.
3: System crashes and the origin device's cache where the recent
merge was completed has not been flushed.
During the next cycle when we read the metadata from the COW device,
we will skip reading those metadata whose merge was completed in
step (1). This will lead to data loss/corruption.
To address this, flush the origin device post merge IO before

Commit 721b1d98fb ("dm snapshot: Fix excessive memory usage and
workqueue stalls") introduced a semaphore to limit the maximum number of
in-flight kcopyd (COW) jobs.
The implementation of this throttling mechanism is prone to a deadlock:
1. One or more threads write to the origin device causing COW, which is
performed by kcopyd.
2. At some point some of these threads might reach the s->cow_count
semaphore limit and block in down(&s->cow_count), holding a read lock
on _origins_lock.
3. Someone tries to acquire a write lock on _origins_lock, e.g.,
snapshot_ctr(), which blocks because the threads at step (2) already
hold a read lock on it.
4. A COW operation completes and kcopyd runs dm-snapshot's completion
callback, which ends up calling pending_complete().
pending_complete() tries to resubmit any deferred origin bios. This
requires acquiring a read lock on _origins_lock, which blocks.
This happens because the read-write semaphore implementation gives
priority to writers, meaning that as soon as a writer tries to enter
the critical section, no readers will be allowed in, until all
writers have completed their work.
So, pending_complete() waits for the writer at step (3) to acquire
and release the lock. This writer waits for the readers at step (2)
to release the read lock and those readers wait for
pending_complete() (the kcopyd thread) to signal the s->cow_count
semaphore: DEADLOCK.
The above was thoroughly analyzed and documented by Nikos Tsironis as
part of his initial proposal for fixing this deadlock, see:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2019-October/msg00001.html
Fix this deadlock by reworking COW throttling so that it waits without
holding any locks. Add a variable 'in_progress' that counts how many
kcopyd jobs are running. A function wait_for_in_progress() will sleep if
'in_progress' is over the limit. It drops _origins_lock in order to
avoid the deadlock.

discard_zeroes_cow - a discard issued to the snapshot device that maps
to entire chunks to will zero the corresponding exception(s) in the
snapshot's exception store.
discard_passdown_origin - a discard to the snapshot device is passed down
to the snapshot-origin's underlying device. This doesn't cause copy-out
to the snapshot exception store because the snapshot-origin target is
bypassed.
The discard_passdown_origin feature depends on the discard_zeroes_cow
feature being enabled.
When these 2 features are enabled they allow a temporarily read-only
device that has completely exhausted its free space to recover space.
To do so dm-snapshot provides temporary buffer to accommodate writes
that the temporarily read-only device cannot handle yet. Once the upper
layer frees space (e.g. fstrim to XFS) the discards issued to the
dm-snapshot target will be issued to underlying read-only device whose
free space was exhausted. In addition those discards will also cause
zeroes to be written to the snapshot exception store if corresponding
exceptions exist. If the underlying origin device provides
deduplication for zero blocks then if/when the snapshot is merged backed
to the origin those blocks will become unused. Once the origin has
gained adequate space, merging the snapshot back to the thinly
provisioned device will permit continued use of that device without the
temporary space provided by the snapshot.

Substitute the global locking scheme with a fine grained one, employing
the read-write semaphore and the scalable exception tables with
per-bucket locks introduced by the previous two commits.
Summarizing, we now use a read-write semaphore to protect the mostly
read fields of the snapshot structure, e.g., valid, active, etc., and
per-bucket bit spinlocks to protect accesses to the complete and pending
exception tables.
Finally, we use an extra spinlock (pe_allocation_lock) to serialize the
allocation of new exceptions by the exception store. This allocation is
really fast, so the extra spinlock doesn't hurt the performance.
This scheme allows dm-snapshot to scale better, resulting in increased
IOPS and reduced latency.

Use list_bl to implement the exception hash tables' buckets. This change
permits concurrent access, to distinct buckets, by multiple threads.
Also, implement helper functions to lock and unlock the exception tables
based on the chunk number of the exception at hand.
We retain the global locking, by means of down_write(), which is
replaced by the next commit.
Still, we must acquire the per-bucket spinlocks when accessing the hash
tables, since list_bl does not allow modification on unlocked lists.

dm-snapshot uses a single mutex to serialize every access to the
snapshot state. This includes all accesses to the complete and pending
exception tables, which occur at every origin write, every snapshot
read/write and every exception completion.
The lock statistics indicate that this mutex is a bottleneck (average
wait time ~480 usecs for 8 processes doing random 4K writes to the
origin device) preventing dm-snapshot to scale as the number of threads
doing IO increases.
The major contention points are __origin_write()/snapshot_map() and
pending_complete(), i.e., the submission and completion of pending
exceptions.
Replace this mutex with a rw semaphore.
We essentially revert commit ae1093be5a ("dm snapshot: use mutex
instead of rw_semaphore") and together with the next two patches we
substitute the single mutex with a fine-grained locking scheme, where we
use a read-write semaphore to protect the mostly read fields of the
snapshot structure, e.g., valid, active, etc., and per-bucket bit
spinlocks to protect accesses to the complete and pending exception
tables.

When completing a pending exception, pending_complete() waits for all
conflicting reads to drain, before inserting the final, completed
exception. Conflicting reads are snapshot reads redirected to the
origin, because the relevant chunk is not remapped to the COW device the
moment we receive the read.
The completed exception must be inserted into the exception table after
all conflicting reads drain to ensure snapshot reads don't return
corrupted data. This is required because inserting the completed
exception into the exception table signals that the relevant chunk is
remapped and both origin writes and snapshot merging will now overwrite
the chunk in origin.
This wait is done holding the snapshot lock to ensure that
pending_complete() doesn't starve if new snapshot reads keep coming for
this chunk.
In preparation for the next commit, where we use a spinlock instead of a
mutex to protect the exception tables, we remove the need for holding
the lock while waiting for conflicting reads to drain.
We achieve this in two steps:
1. pending_complete() inserts the completed exception before waiting for
conflicting reads to drain and removes the pending exception after
all conflicting reads drain.
This ensures that new snapshot reads will be redirected to the COW
device, instead of the origin, and thus pending_complete() will not
starve. Moreover, we use the existence of both a completed and
a pending exception to signify that the COW is done but there are
conflicting reads in flight.
2. In __origin_write() we check first if there is a pending exception
and then if there is a completed exception. If there is a pending
exception any submitted BIO is delayed on the pe->origin_bios list and
DM_MAPIO_SUBMITTED is returned. This ensures that neither writes to the
origin nor snapshot merging can overwrite the origin chunk, until all
conflicting reads drain, and thus snapshot reads will not return
corrupted data.
Summarizing, we now have the following possible combinations of pending
and completed exceptions for a chunk, along with their meaning:
A. No exceptions exist: The chunk has not been remapped yet.
B. Only a pending exception exists: The chunk is currently being copied
to the COW device.
C. Both a pending and a completed exception exist: COW for this chunk
has completed but there are snapshot reads in flight which had been
redirected to the origin before the chunk was remapped.
D. Only the completed exception exists: COW has been completed and there
are no conflicting reads in flight.

kcopyd has no upper limit to the number of jobs one can allocate and
issue. Under certain workloads this can lead to excessive memory usage
and workqueue stalls. For example, when creating multiple dm-snapshot
targets with a 4K chunk size and then writing to the origin through the
page cache. Syncing the page cache causes a large number of BIOs to be
issued to the dm-snapshot origin target, which itself issues an even
larger (because of the BIO splitting taking place) number of kcopyd
jobs.
Running the following test, from the device mapper test suite [1],
dmtest run --suite snapshot -n many_snapshots_of_same_volume_N
, with 8 active snapshots, results in the kcopyd job slab cache growing
to 10G. Depending on the available system RAM this can lead to the OOM

The root cause for these issues is the way dm-snapshot uses kcopyd. In
particular, the lack of an explicit or implicit limit to the maximum
number of in-flight COW jobs. The merging path is not affected because
it implicitly limits the in-flight kcopyd jobs to one.
Fix these issues by using a semaphore to limit the maximum number of
in-flight kcopyd jobs. We grab the semaphore before allocating a new
kcopyd job in start_copy() and start_full_bio() and release it after the
job finishes in copy_callback().
The initial semaphore value is configurable through a module parameter,
to allow fine tuning the maximum number of in-flight COW jobs. Setting
this parameter to zero initializes the semaphore to INT_MAX.
A default value of 2048 maximum in-flight kcopyd jobs was chosen. This
value was decided experimentally as a trade-off between memory
consumption, stalling the kernel's workqueues and maintaining a high
enough throughput.
Re-running the aforementioned test:
* Workqueue stalls are eliminated
* kcopyd's job slab cache uses a maximum of 130MB
* The time taken by the test to write to the snapshot-origin target is
reduced from 05m20.48s to 03m26.38s

copy_complete()'s processing of out_of_order_list can result in
quadratic complexity in the worst case. As such it was the source of
consuming too much cpu and the source of significant loss in
performance.
Fix this by converting out_of_order_list to an rbtree. This improved
a dm-snapshot test copy workload from 32 seconds to 4 seconds.

mempool_init()/bioset_init() require that the mempools/biosets be zeroed
first; they probably should not _require_ this, but not allocating those
structs with kzalloc is a fairly nonsensical thing to do (calling
mempool_exit()/bioset_exit() on an uninitialized mempool/bioset is legal
and safe, but only works if said memory was zeroed.)

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.

Since commit 63a4cc2486, bio->bi_rw contains flags in the lower
portion and the op code in the higher portions. This means that
old code that relies on manually setting bi_rw is most likely
going to be broken. Instead of letting that brokeness linger,
rename the member, to force old and out-of-tree code to break
at compile time instead of at runtime.

1/ Replace pcommit with ADR / directed-flushing:
The pcommit instruction, which has not shipped on any product, is
deprecated. Instead, the requirement is that platforms implement either
ADR, or provide one or more flush addresses per nvdimm. ADR
(Asynchronous DRAM Refresh) flushes data in posted write buffers to the
memory controller on a power-fail event. Flush addresses are defined in
ACPI 6.x as an NVDIMM Firmware Interface Table (NFIT) sub-structure:
"Flush Hint Address Structure". A flush hint is an mmio address that
when written and fenced assures that all previous posted writes
targeting a given dimm have been flushed to media.
2/ On-demand ARS (address range scrub):
Linux uses the results of the ACPI ARS commands to track bad blocks
in pmem devices. When latent errors are detected we re-scrub the media
to refresh the bad block list, userspace can also request a re-scrub at
any time.
3/ Support for the Microsoft DSM (device specific method) command format.
4/ Support for EDK2/OVMF virtual disk device memory ranges.
5/ Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem.
