Dispatching a report zones command through the request queue is a major
pain due to the command reply payload rewriting necessary. Given that
blkdev_report_zones() is executing everything synchronously, implement
report zones as a block device file operation instead, allowing major
simplification of the code in many places.
sd, null-blk, dm-linear and dm-flakey being the only block device
drivers supporting exposing zoned block devices, these drivers are
modified to provide the device side implementation of the
report_zones() block device file operation.
For device mappers, a new report_zones() target type operation is
defined so that the upper block layer calls blkdev_report_zones() can
be propagated down to the underlying devices of the dm targets.
Implementation for this new operation is added to the dm-linear and
dm-flakey targets.

If dm-linear or dm-flakey are layered on top of a partition of a zoned
block device, remapping of the start sector and write pointer position
of the zones reported by a report zones BIO must be modified to account
for the target table entry mapping (start offset within the device and
entry mapping with the dm device). If the target's backing device is a
partition of a whole disk, the start sector on the physical device of
the partition must also be accounted for when modifying the zone
information. However, dm_remap_zone_report() was not considering this
last case, resulting in incorrect zone information remapping with
targets using disk partitions.
Fix this by calculating the target backing device start sector using
the position of the completed report zones BIO and the unchanged
position and size of the original report zone BIO. With this value
calculated, the start sector and write pointer position of the target
zones can be correctly remapped.

Add and use a new op_stat_group() function for indexing partition stat
fields rather than indexing them by rq_data_dir() or bio_data_dir().
This function works similarly to op_is_sync() in that it takes the
request::cmd_flags or bio::bi_opf flags and determines which stats
should et updated.
In addition, the second parameter to generic_start_io_acct() and
generic_end_io_acct() is now a REQ_OP rather than simply a read or
write bit and it uses op_stat_group() on the parameter to determine
the stat group.
Note that the partition in_flight counts are not part of the per-cpu
statistics and as such are not indexed via this function. It's now
indexed by op_is_write().

Currently device_supports_dax() just checks to see if the QUEUE_FLAG_DAX
flag is set on the device's request queue to decide whether or not the
device supports filesystem DAX. Really we should be using
bdev_dax_supported() like filesystems do at mount time. This performs
other tests like checking to make sure the dax_direct_access() path works.
We also explicitly clear QUEUE_FLAG_DAX on the DM device's request queue if
any of the underlying devices do not support DAX. This makes the handling
of QUEUE_FLAG_DAX consistent with the setting/clearing of most other flags
in dm_table_set_restrictions().
Now that bdev_dax_supported() explicitly checks for QUEUE_FLAG_DAX, this
will ensure that filesystems built upon DM devices will only be able to
mount with DAX if all underlying devices also support DAX.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"This cycle was was not something I ever want to repeat as there were
several late changes that have only now just settled.
Half of the branch up to commit d2c997c0f1 ("fs, dax: use
page->mapping to warn...") have been in -next for several releases.
The of_pmem driver and the address range scrub rework were late
arrivals, and the dax work was scaled back at the last moment.
The of_pmem driver missed a previous merge window due to an oversight.
A sense of obligation to rectify that miss is why it is included for
4.17. It has acks from PowerPC folks. Stephen reported a build failure
that only occurs when merging it with your latest tree, for now I have
fixed that up by disabling modular builds of of_pmem. A test merge
with your tree has received a build success report from the 0day robot
over 156 configs.
An initial version of the ARS rework was submitted before the merge
window. It is self contained to libnvdimm, a net code reduction, and
passing all unit tests.
The filesystem-dax changes are based on the wait_var_event()
functionality from tip/sched/core. However, late review feedback
showed that those changes regressed truncate performance to a large
degree. The branch was rewound to drop the truncate behavior change
and now only includes preparation patches and cleanups (with full acks
and reviews). The finalization of this dax-dma-vs-trnucate work will
need to wait for 4.18.
Summary:

Commit 519049afea ("dm: use blkdev_get rather than bdgrab when issuing
pass-through ioctl") inadvertantly introduced a regression relative to
users of device cgroups that issue ioctls (e.g. libvirt). Using
blkdev_get() in DM's passthrough ioctl support implicitly introduced a
cgroup permissions check that would fail unless care were taken to add
all devices in the IO stack to the device cgroup. E.g. rather than just
adding the top-level DM multipath device to the cgroup all the
underlying devices would need to be allowed.
Fix this, to no longer require allowing all underlying devices, by
simply holding the live DM table (which includes the table's original
blkdev_get() reference on the blockdevice that the ioctl will be issued
to) for the duration of the ioctl.
Also, bump the DM ioctl version so a user can know that their device
cgroup allow workaround is no longer needed.

dm_get_bdev_for_ioctl()'s return of 0 or 1 must be the result from
prepare_ioctl (1 means the ioctl was issued to a partition, 0 means it
wasn't). Unfortunately commit 519049afea ("dm: use blkdev_get rather
than bdgrab when issuing pass-through ioctl") reused the variable 'r'
to store the return from blkdev_get() that follows prepare_ioctl()
-- whereby dropping prepare_ioctl()'s result on the floor.
This can lead to an ioctl or persistent reservation being issued to a
partition going unnoticed, which implies the extra permission check for
CAP_SYS_RAWIO is skipped.

Otherwise an underlying device's teardown (e.g. SCSI) may race with the
DM ioctl or persistent reservation and result in dereferencing driver
memory that gets freed when the underlying device's final blkdev_put()
occurs.
bdgrab() only increases the refcount for the block_device's inode to
ensure the block_device struct itself will not be freed, but does not
guarantee the block_device will remain associated with the gendisk or
its storage.

dec_pending() is given an error status (possibly 0) to be recorded
against a bio. It can be called several times on the one 'struct
dm_io', and it is careful to only assign a non-zero error to
io->status. However when it then assigned io->status to bio->bi_status,
it is not careful and could overwrite a genuine error status with 0.
This can happen when chained bios are in use. If a bio is chained
beneath the bio that this dm_io is handling, the child bio might
complete and set bio->bi_status before the dm_io completes.
This has been possible since chained bios were introduced in 3.14, and
has become a lot easier to trigger with commit 18a25da843 ("dm: ensure
bio submission follows a depth-first tree walk") as that commit caused
dm to start using chained bios itself.
A particular failure mode is that if a bio spans an 'error' target and a
working target, the 'error' fragment will complete instantly and set the
->bi_status, and the other fragment will normally complete a little
later, and will clear ->bi_status.
The fix is simply to only assign io_error to bio->bi_status when
io_error is not zero.

DM is no longer prone to having its request_queue be improperly
initialized.
Summary of changes:
- defer DM's blk_register_queue() from add_disk()-time until
dm_setup_md_queue() by using add_disk_no_queue_reg() in alloc_dev().
- dm_setup_md_queue() is updated to fully initialize DM's request_queue
(_after_ all table loads have occurred and the request_queue's type,
features and limits are known).
A very welcome side-effect of these changes is DM no longer needs to:
1) backfill the "mq" sysfs entry (because historically DM didn't
initialize the request_queue to use blk-mq until _after_
blk_register_queue() was called via add_disk()).
2) call elv_register_queue() to get .request_fn request-based DM
device's "iosched" exposed in syfs.
In addition, blk-mq debugfs support is now made available because
request-based DM's blk-mq request_queue is now properly initialized
before dm_setup_md_queue() calls blk_register_queue().
These changes also stave off the need to introduce new DM-specific
workarounds in block core, e.g. this proposal:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10067961/
In the end DM devices should be less unicorn in nature (relative to
initialization and availability of block core infrastructure provided by
the request_queue).

If dm_table_determine_type() establishes DM_TYPE_NVME_BIO_BASED then

No apparent need to generic_start_io_acct() until before the IO is ready
for submission. start_io_acct() is the proper place to do this
accounting -- it is also where DM accounts for pending IO and, if
enabled, starts dm-stats accounting.
Replace start_io_acct()'s part_round_stats() with generic_start_io_acct().
This eliminates needing to take part_stat_lock() multiple times when
starting an IO on bio-based devices.

Eliminates need for a separate mempool to allocate 'struct dm_io'
objects from. As such, it saves an extra mempool allocation for each
original bio that DM core is issued.
This complicates the per-bio-data accessor functions by needing to
conditonally add extra padding to get to a target's per-bio-data. But
in the end this provides a decent performance improvement for all
bio-based DM devices.

A dm device can, in general, represent a tree of targets, each of which
handles a sub-range of the range of blocks handled by the parent.
The bio sequencing managed by generic_make_request() requires that bios
are generated and handled in a depth-first manner. Each call to a
make_request_fn() may submit bios to a single member device, and may
submit bios for a reduced region of the same device as the
make_request_fn.
In particular, any bios submitted to member devices must be expected to
be processed in order, so a later one must never wait for an earlier
one.
This ordering is usually achieved by using bio_split() to reduce a bio
to a size that can be completely handled by one target, and resubmitting
the remainder to the originating device. bio_queue_split() shows the
canonical approach.
dm doesn't follow this approach, largely because it has needed to split
bios since long before bio_split() was available. It currently can
submit bios to separate targets within the one dm_make_request() call.
Dependencies between these targets, as can happen with dm-snap, can
cause deadlocks if either bios gets stuck behind the other in the queues
managed by generic_make_request(). This requires the 'rescue'
functionality provided by dm_offload_{start,end}.
Some of this requirement can be removed by changing the order of bio
submission to follow the canonical approach. That is, if dm finds that
it needs to split a bio, the remainder should be sent to
generic_make_request() rather than being handled immediately. This
delays the handling until the first part is completely processed, so the
deadlock problems do not occur.
__split_and_process_bio() can be called both from dm_make_request() and
from dm_wq_work(). When called from dm_wq_work() the current approach
is perfectly satisfactory as each bio will be processed immediately.
When called from dm_make_request(), current->bio_list will be non-NULL,
and in this case it is best to create a separate "clone" bio for the
remainder.
When we use bio_clone_bioset() to split off the front part of a bio
and chain the two together and submit the remainder to
generic_make_request(), it is important that the newly allocated
bio is used as the head to be processed immediately, and the original
bio gets "bio_advance()"d and sent to generic_make_request() as the
remainder. Otherwise, if the newly allocated bio is used as the
remainder, and if it then needs to be split again, then the next
bio_clone_bioset() call will be made while holding a reference a bio
(result of the first clone) from the same bioset. This can potentially
exhaust the bioset mempool and result in a memory allocation deadlock.
Note that there is no race caused by reassigning cio.io->bio after already
calling __map_bio(). This bio will only be dereferenced again after
dec_pending() has found io->io_count to be zero, and this cannot happen
before the dec_pending() call at the end of __split_and_process_bio().
To provide the clone bio when splitting, we use q->bio_split. This
was previously being freed by bio-based dm to avoid having excess
rescuer threads. As bio_split bio sets no longer create rescuer
threads, there is little cost and much gain from restoring the
q->bio_split bio set.
