When applying block operations (BOPs) do not remove them from the
uncommitted BOP ring-buffer until after they've been applied -- in case
we recurse.
Also, perform BOP_INC operation, in dm_sm_metadata_create() and
sm_metadata_extend(), in terms of the uncommitted BOP ring-buffer rather
than using direct calls to sm_ll_inc().

The metadata space map has a simplified 'bootstrap' mode that is
operational when extending the space maps. Whilst in this mode it's
possible for some refcount decrement operations to become queued (eg, as
a result of shadowing one of the bitmap indexes). These decrements were
not being applied when switching out of bootstrap mode.
The effect of this bug was the leaking of a 4k metadata block. This is
detected by the latest version of thin_check as a non fatal error.

This function isn't right and it causes a static checker warning:
drivers/md/dm-thin.c:3016 maybe_resize_data_dev()
error: potentially using uninitialized 'sb_data_size'.
It should set "*count" and return zero on success the same as the
sm_metadata_get_nr_blocks() function does earlier.

This has been a relatively long-standing issue that wasn't nailed down
until Teng-Feng Yang's meticulous bug report to dm-devel on 3/7/2014,
see: http://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2014-March/msg00021.html
From that report:
"When decreasing the reference count of a metadata block with its
reference count equals 3, we will call dm_btree_remove() to remove
this enrty from the B+tree which keeps the reference count info in
metadata device.
The B+tree will try to rebalance the entry of the child nodes in each
node it traversed, and the rebalance process contains the following
steps.
(1) Finding the corresponding children in current node (shadow_current(s))
(2) Shadow the children block (issue BOP_INC)
(3) redistribute keys among children, and free children if necessary (issue BOP_DEC)
Since the update of a metadata block's reference count could be
recursive, we will stash these reference count update operations in
smm->uncommitted and then process them in a FILO fashion.
The problem is that step(3) could free the children which is created
in step(2), so the BOP_DEC issued in step(3) will be carried out
before the BOP_INC issued in step(2) since these BOPs will be
processed in FILO fashion. Once the BOP_DEC from step(3) tries to
decrease the reference count of newly shadow block, it will report
failure for its reference equals 0 before decreasing. It looks like we
can solve this issue by processing these BOPs in a FIFO fashion
instead of FILO."
Commit 5b564d80 ("dm space map: disallow decrementing a reference count
below zero") changed the code to report an error for this temporary
refcount decrement below zero. So what was previously a harmless
invalid refcount became a hard failure due to the new error path:
device-mapper: space map common: unable to decrement a reference count below 0
device-mapper: thin: 253:6: dm_thin_insert_block() failed: error = -22
device-mapper: thin: 253:6: switching pool to read-only mode
This bug is in dm persistent-data code that is common to the DM thin and
cache targets. So any users of those targets should apply this fix.
Fix this by applying recursive space map operations in FIFO order rather
than FILO.

It was always intended that a user could provide a thin metadata device
that is larger than the max supported by the on-disk format. The extra
space would just go unused.
Unfortunately that never worked. If the user attempted to use a larger
metadata device on creation they would get an error like the following:
device-mapper: space map common: space map too large
device-mapper: transaction manager: couldn't create metadata space map
device-mapper: thin metadata: tm_create_with_sm failed
device-mapper: table: 252:17: thin-pool: Error creating metadata object
device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table
Fix this by allowing the initial metadata space map creation to cap its
size at the max number of blocks supported (DM_SM_METADATA_MAX_BLOCKS).
get_metadata_dev_size() must also impose DM_SM_METADATA_MAX_BLOCKS (via
THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS), otherwise extending metadata would cap at
THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS_WARNING (which is larger than supported).
Also, the calculation for THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS didn't account for
the sizeof the disk_bitmap_header. So the supported maximum metadata
size is a bit smaller (reduced from 33423360 to 33292800 sectors).
Lastly, remove the "excess space will not be used" warning message from
get_metadata_dev_size(); it resulted in printing the warning multiple
times. Factor out warn_if_metadata_device_too_big(), call it from
pool_ctr() and maybe_resize_metadata_dev().

This bug was introduced in commit 7e664b3dec ("dm space map metadata:
fix extending the space map").
When extending a dm-thin metadata volume we:
- Switch the space map into a simple bootstrap mode, which allocates
all space linearly from the newly added space.
- Add new bitmap entries for the new space
- Increment the reference counts for those newly allocated bitmap
entries
- Commit changes to disk
- Switch back out of bootstrap mode.
But, the disk commit may allocate space itself, if so this fact will be
lost when switching out of bootstrap mode.
The bug exhibited itself as an error when the bitmap_root, with an
erroneous ref count of 0, was subsequently decremented as part of a
later disk commit. This would cause the disk commit to fail, and thinp
to enter read_only mode. The metadata was not damaged (thin_check
passed).
The fix is to put the increments + commit into a loop, running until
the commit has not allocated extra space. In practise this loop only
runs twice.
With this fix the following device mapper testsuite test passes:
dmtest run --suite thin-provisioning -n thin_remove_works_after_resize

When extending a metadata space map we should do the first commit whilst
still in bootstrap mode -- a mode where all blocks get allocated in the
new area.
That way the commit overhead is allocated from the newly added space.
Otherwise we risk running out of space.
With this fix, and the previous commit "dm space map common: make sure
new space is used during extend", the following device mapper testsuite
test passes:
dmtest run --suite thin-provisioning -n /resize_metadata_no_io/

Support extending a dm persistent data metadata space map.
The extend itself is implemented by switching back to the boostrap
allocator and pointing to the new space. The extra bitmap indexes are
then allocated from the new space, and finally we switch back to the
proper space map ops and tweak the reference counts.

The persistent-data library offers a re-usable framework for the storage
and management of on-disk metadata in device-mapper targets.
It's used by the thin-provisioning target in the next patch and in an
upcoming hierarchical storage target.
