Request based dm attempts to re-run the request queue off the
request completion path. If used with a driver that potentially does
end_io from its request_fn, we could deadlock trying to recurse
back into request dispatch. Fix this by punting the request queue
run to kblockd.
Tested to fix a quickly reproducible deadlock in such a scenario.

Use the recently-added bio front_pad field to allocate struct dm_target_io.
Prior to this patch, dm_target_io was allocated from a mempool. For each
dm_target_io, there is exactly one bio allocated from a bioset.
This patch merges these two allocations into one allocation: we create a
bioset with front_pad equal to the size of dm_target_io so that every
bio allocated from the bioset has sizeof(struct dm_target_io) bytes
before it. We allocate a bio and use the bytes before the bio as
dm_target_io.
_tio_cache is removed and the tio_pool mempool is now only used for
request-based devices.
This idea was introduced by Kent Overstreet.

Pull block IO update from Jens Axboe:
"Core block IO bits for 3.7. Not a huge round this time, it contains:
- First series from Kent cleaning up and generalizing bio allocation
and freeing.
- WRITE_SAME support from Martin.
- Mikulas patches to prevent O_DIRECT crashes when someone changes
the block size of a device.
- Make bio_split() work on data-less bio's (like trim/discards).
- A few other minor fixups."
Fixed up silent semantic mis-merge as per Mikulas Patocka and Andrew
Morton. It is due to the VM no longer using a prio-tree (see commit
6b2dbba8b6: "mm: replace vma prio_tree with an interval tree").
So make set_blocksize() use mapping_mapped() instead of open-coding the
internal VM knowledge that has changed.

Add a safety net that will re-use the DM device's existing limits in the
event that DM device has a temporary table that doesn't have any
component devices. This is to reduce the chance that requests not
respecting the hardware limits will reach the device.
DM recalculates queue limits based only on devices which currently exist
in the table. This creates a problem in the event all devices are
temporarily removed such as all paths being lost in multipath. DM will
reset the limits to the maximum permissible, which can then assemble
requests which exceed the limits of the paths when the paths are
restored. The request will fail the blk_rq_check_limits() test when
sent to a path with lower limits, and will be retried without end by
multipath. This became a much bigger issue after v3.6 commit fe86cdcef
("block: do not artificially constrain max_sectors for stacking
drivers").

The access beyond the end of device BUG_ON that was introduced to
dm_request_fn via commit 29e4013de7 ("dm: implement
REQ_FLUSH/FUA support for request-based dm") was an overly
drastic (but simple) response to this situation.
I have received a report that this BUG_ON was hit and now think
it would be better to use dm_kill_unmapped_request() to fail the clone
and original request with -EIO.
map_request() will assign the valid target returned by
dm_table_find_target to tio->ti. But when the target
isn't valid tio->ti is never assigned (because map_request isn't
called); so add a check for tio->ti != NULL to dm_done().

Add a new flag DMF_MERGE_IS_OPTIONAL to struct mapped_device to indicate
whether the device can accept bios larger than the size its merge
function returns. When set, use this to send large bios to snapshots
which can split them if necessary. Snapshot I/O may be significantly
fragmented and this approach seems to improve peformance.
Before the patch, dm_set_device_limits restricted bio size to page size
if the underlying device had a merge function and the target didn't
provide a merge function. After the patch, dm_set_device_limits
restricts bio size to page size if the underlying device has a merge
function, doesn't have DMF_MERGE_IS_OPTIONAL flag and the target doesn't
provide a merge function.
The snapshot target can't provide a merge function because when the merge
function is called, it is impossible to determine where the bio will be
remapped. Previously this led us to impose a 4k limit, which we can
now remove if the snapshot store is located on a device without a merge
function. Together with another patch for optimizing full chunk writes,
it improves performance from 29MB/s to 40MB/s when writing to the
filesystem on snapshot store.
If the snapshot store is placed on a non-dm device with a merge function
(such as md-raid), device mapper still limits all bios to page size.

Remove 'discards_supported' from the dm_table structure. The same

Before this fix dm_table_supports_discards() would skip checking the

'discards_supported' flag is effective at insuring the final DM device
advertises discard support. But, to be clear, targets that don't

requests.

This patch changes spin_lock_irq() to spin_lock() in dm_request_fn().
This patch is just a clean-up and no functional change.
The spin_lock_irq() was leftover from the early request-based dm code,
where map_request() used to enable interrupts.
Since current map_request() never enables interrupts, we can change it
to spin_lock() to match the prior spin_unlock().
Auditing through the dm and block-layer code called from
map_request(), I confirmed all functions save/restore interrupt
status, so no function returning with interrupts enabled.
Also I haven't observed any problem on my test environment which
uses scsi and lpfc driver after heavy I/O testing with occasional
path down/up.

No longer needlessly hold md->bdev->bd_inode->i_mutex when changing the

i_size_write() is already protected by the existing critical section in
dm_swap_table(). DM already has a reference on md->bdev so the
associated bd_inode may be changed without lifetime concerns.
A negative side-effect of having held md->bdev->bd_inode->i_mutex was
that a concurrent DM device resize and flush (via fsync) would deadlock.
Dropping md->bdev->bd_inode->i_mutex eliminates this potential for
deadlock. The following reproducer no longer deadlocks:

Unlike REQ_HARDBARRIER, REQ_FLUSH/FUA doesn't mandate any ordering
against other bio's. This patch relaxes ordering around flushes.
* A flush bio is no longer deferred to workqueue directly. It's
processed like other bio's but __split_and_process_bio() uses
md->flush_bio as the clone source. md->flush_bio is initialized to
empty flush during md initialization and shared for all flushes.
* As a flush bio now travels through the same execution path as other
bio's, there's no need for dedicated error handling path either. It
can use the same error handling path in dec_pending(). Dedicated
error handling removed along with md->flush_error.
* When dec_pending() detects that a flush has completed, it checks
whether the original bio has data. If so, the bio is queued to the
deferred list w/ REQ_FLUSH cleared; otherwise, it's completed.
* As flush sequencing is handled in the usual issue/completion path,
dm_wq_work() no longer needs to handle flushes differently. Now its
only responsibility is re-issuing deferred bio's the same way as
_dm_request() would. REQ_FLUSH handling logic including
process_flush() is dropped.
* There's no reason for queue_io() and dm_wq_work() write lock
dm->io_lock. queue_io() now only uses md->deferred_lock and
dm_wq_work() read locks dm->io_lock.
* bio's no longer need to be queued on the deferred list while a flush
is in progress making DMF_QUEUE_IO_TO_THREAD unncessary. Drop it.
This avoids stalling the device during flushes and simplifies the
implementation.

This patch converts request-based dm to support the new REQ_FLUSH/FUA.
The original request-based flush implementation depended on
request_queue blocking other requests while a barrier sequence is in
progress, which is no longer true for the new REQ_FLUSH/FUA.
In general, request-based dm doesn't have infrastructure for cloning
one source request to multiple targets, but the original flush
implementation had a special mostly independent path which can issue
flushes to multiple targets and sequence them. However, the
capability isn't currently in use and adds a lot of complexity.
Moreoever, it's unlikely to be useful in its current form as it
doesn't make sense to be able to send out flushes to multiple targets
when write requests can't be.
This patch rips out special flush code path and deals handles
REQ_FLUSH/FUA requests the same way as other requests. The only
special treatment is that REQ_FLUSH requests use the block address 0
when finding target, which is enough for now.

doesn't support cache flushing. Advertise REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA
capability.
* Request based dm isn't converted yet. dm_init_request_based_queue()
resets flush support to 0 for now. To avoid disturbing request
based dm code, dm->flush_error is added for bio based dm while
requested based dm continues to use dm->barrier_error.
Lightly tested linear, stripe, raid1, snap and crypt targets. Please
proceed with caution as I'm not familiar with the code base.

Barrier is deemed too heavy and will soon be replaced by FLUSH/FUA
requests. Deprecate barrier. All REQ_HARDBARRIERs are failed with
-EOPNOTSUPP and blk_queue_ordered() is replaced with simpler
blk_queue_flush().
blk_queue_flush() takes combinations of REQ_FLUSH and FUA. If a
device has write cache and can flush it, it should set REQ_FLUSH. If
the device can handle FUA writes, it should also set REQ_FUA.
All blk_queue_ordered() users are converted.
* ORDERED_DRAIN is mapped to 0 which is the default value.
* ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH is mapped to REQ_FLUSH.
* ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH_FUA is mapped to REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA.

Update __clone_and_map_discard to loop across all targets in a DM
device's table when it processes a discard bio. If a discard crosses a
target boundary it must be split accordingly.
Update __issue_target_requests and __issue_target_request to allow a
cloned discard bio to have a custom start sector and size.

Split max_io_len_target_boundary out of max_io_len so that the discard
support can make use of it without duplicating max_io_len code.
Avoiding max_io_len's split_io logic enables DM's discard support to
submit the entire discard request to a target. But discards must still
be split on target boundaries.

Rename __flush_target to __issue_target_request now that it is used to
issue both flush and discard requests.
Introduce __issue_target_requests as a convenient wrapper to
__issue_target_request 'num_flush_requests' or 'num_discard_requests'
times per target.

Allow discards to be passed through to linear mappings if at least one
underlying device supports it. Discards will be forwarded only to
devices that support them.
A target that supports discards should set num_discard_requests to
indicate how many times each discard request must be submitted to it.
Verify table's underlying devices support discards prior to setting the
associated DM device as capable of discards (via QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD).

'target_request_nr' is a more generic name that reflects the fact that

Change bio-based mapped devices no longer to have a fully initialized
request_queue (request_fn, elevator, etc). This means bio-based DM
devices no longer register elevator sysfs attributes ('iosched/' tree
or 'scheduler' other than "none").
In contrast, a request-based DM device will continue to have a full
request_queue and will register elevator sysfs attributes. Therefore
a user can determine a DM device's type by checking if elevator sysfs
attributes exist.
First allocate a minimalist request_queue structure for a DM device
(needed for both bio and request-based DM).
Initialization of a full request_queue is deferred until it is known
that the DM device is request-based, at the end of the table load
sequence.
Factor DM device's request_queue initialization:
- common to both request-based and bio-based into dm_init_md_queue().
- specific to request-based into dm_init_request_based_queue().
The md->type_lock mutex is used to protect md->queue, in addition to
md->type, during table_load().
A DM device's first table_load will establish the immutable md->type.
But md->queue initialization, based on md->type, may fail at that time
(because blk_init_allocated_queue cannot allocate memory). Therefore
any subsequent table_load must (re)try dm_setup_md_queue independently of
establishing md->type.

Determine whether a mapped device is bio-based or request-based when
loading its first (inactive) table and don't allow that to be changed
later.
This patch performs different device initialisation in each of the two
cases. (We don't think it's necessary to add code to support changing
between the two types.)
Allowed md->type transitions:
DM_TYPE_NONE to DM_TYPE_BIO_BASED
DM_TYPE_NONE to DM_TYPE_REQUEST_BASED
We now prevent table_load from replacing the inactive table with a
conflicting type of table even after an explicit table_clear.
Introduce 'type_lock' into the struct mapped_device to protect md->type
and to prepare for the next patch that will change the queue
initialization and allocate memory while md->type_lock is held.
