The dm-zoned device mapper target provides transparent write access
to zoned block devices (ZBC and ZAC compliant block devices).
dm-zoned hides to the device user (a file system or an application
doing raw block device accesses) any constraint imposed on write
requests by the device, equivalent to a drive-managed zoned block
device model.
Write requests are processed using a combination of on-disk buffering
using the device conventional zones and direct in-place processing for
requests aligned to a zone sequential write pointer position.
A background reclaim process implemented using dm_kcopyd_copy ensures
that conventional zones are always available for executing unaligned
write requests. The reclaim process overhead is minimized by managing
buffer zones in a least-recently-written order and first targeting the
oldest buffer zones. Doing so, blocks under regular write access (such
as metadata blocks of a file system) remain stored in conventional
zones, resulting in no apparent overhead.
dm-zoned implementation focus on simplicity and on minimizing overhead
(CPU, memory and storage overhead). For a 14TB host-managed disk with
256 MB zones, dm-zoned memory usage per disk instance is at most about
3 MB and as little as 5 zones will be used internally for storing metadata
and performing buffer zone reclaim operations. This is achieved using
zone level indirection rather than a full block indirection system for
managing block movement between zones.
dm-zoned primary target is host-managed zoned block devices but it can
also be used with host-aware device models to mitigate potential
device-side performance degradation due to excessive random writing.
Zoned block devices can be formatted and checked for use with the dm-zoned
target using the dmzadm utility available at:

The DM integrity block size can now be 512, 1k, 2k or 4k. Using larger
blocks reduces metadata handling overhead. The block size can be
configured at table load time using the "block_size:<value>" option;
where <value> is expressed in bytes (defult is still 512 bytes).
It is safe to use larger block sizes with DM integrity, because the
DM integrity journal makes sure that the whole block is updated
atomically even if the underlying device doesn't support atomic writes
of that size (e.g. 4k block ontop of a 512b device).

Commit 63c32ed4af ("dm raid: add raid4/5/6 journaling support") added
journal support to close the raid4/5/6 "write hole" -- in terms of
writethrough caching.
Introduce a "journal_mode" feature and use the new
r5c_journal_mode_set() API to add support for switching the journal
device's cache mode between write-through (the current default) and
write-back.
NOTE: If the journal device is not layered on resilent storage and it
fails, write-through mode will cause the "write hole" to reoccur. But
if the journal fails while in write-back mode it will cause data loss
for any dirty cache entries unless resilent storage is used for the
journal.

Add optional "sector_size" parameter that specifies encryption sector
size (atomic unit of block device encryption).
Parameter can be in range 512 - 4096 bytes and must be power of two.
For compatibility reasons, the maximal IO must fit into the page limit,
so the limit is set to the minimal page size possible (4096 bytes).
NOTE: this device cannot yet be handled by cryptsetup if this parameter
is set.
IV for the sector is calculated from the 512 bytes sector offset unless
the iv_large_sectors option is used.

For the new authenticated encryption we have to support generic composed
modes (combination of encryption algorithm and authenticator) because
this is how the kernel crypto API accesses such algorithms.
To simplify the interface, we accept an algorithm directly in crypto API
format. The new format is recognised by the "capi:" prefix. The
dmcrypt internal IV specification is the same as for the old format.
The crypto API cipher specifications format is:
capi:cipher_api_spec-ivmode[:ivopts]
Examples:
capi:cbc(aes)-essiv:sha256 (equivalent to old aes-cbc-essiv:sha256)
capi:xts(aes)-plain64 (equivalent to old aes-xts-plain64)
Examples of authenticated modes:
capi:gcm(aes)-random
capi:authenc(hmac(sha256),xts(aes))-random
capi:rfc7539(chacha20,poly1305)-random
Authenticated modes can only be configured using the new cipher format.
Note that this format allows user to specify arbitrary combinations that
can be insecure. (Policy decision is done in cryptsetup userspace.)
Authenticated encryption algorithms can be of two types, either native
modes (like GCM) that performs both encryption and authentication
internally, or composed modes where user can compose AEAD with separate
specification of encryption algorithm and authenticator.
For composed mode with HMAC (length-preserving encryption mode like an
XTS and HMAC as an authenticator) we have to calculate HMAC digest size
(the separate authentication key is the same size as the HMAC digest).
Introduce crypt_ctr_auth_cipher() to parse the crypto API string to get
HMAC algorithm and retrieve digest size from it.
Also, for HMAC composed mode we need to parse the crypto API string to
get the cipher mode nested in the specification. For native AEAD mode
(like GCM), we can use crypto_tfm_alg_name() API to get the cipher
specification.
Because the HMAC composed mode is not processed the same as the native
AEAD mode, the CRYPT_MODE_INTEGRITY_HMAC flag is no longer needed and
"hmac" specification for the table integrity argument is removed.

Both AEAD and HMAC protection authenticates not only data but also
sector metadata.
HMAC protection is implemented through autenc wrapper (so it is
processed the same way as an authenticated mode).
In HMAC mode there are two keys (concatenated in dm-crypt mapping
table). First is the encryption key and the second is the key for
authentication (HMAC). (It is userspace decision if these keys are
independent or somehow derived.)
The sector request for AEAD/HMAC authenticated encryption looks like this:
|----- AAD -------|------ DATA -------|-- AUTH TAG --|
| (authenticated) | (auth+encryption) | |
| sector_LE | IV | sector in/out | tag in/out |
For writes, the integrity fields are calculated during AEAD encryption
of every sector and stored in bio integrity fields and sent to
underlying dm-integrity target for storage.
For reads, the integrity metadata is verified during AEAD decryption of
every sector (they are filled in by dm-integrity, but the integrity
fields are pre-allocated in dm-crypt).
There is also an experimental support in cryptsetup utility for more
friendly configuration (part of LUKS2 format).
Because the integrity fields are not valid on initial creation, the
device must be "formatted". This can be done by direct-io writes to the
device (e.g. dd in direct-io mode). For now, there is available trivial
tool to do this, see: https://github.com/mbroz/dm_int_tools

The dm-integrity target emulates a block device that has additional
per-sector tags that can be used for storing integrity information.
A general problem with storing integrity tags with every sector is that
writing the sector and the integrity tag must be atomic - i.e. in case of
crash, either both sector and integrity tag or none of them is written.
To guarantee write atomicity the dm-integrity target uses a journal. It
writes sector data and integrity tags into a journal, commits the journal
and then copies the data and integrity tags to their respective location.
The dm-integrity target can be used with the dm-crypt target - in this
situation the dm-crypt target creates the integrity data and passes them
to the dm-integrity target via bio_integrity_payload attached to the bio.
In this mode, the dm-crypt and dm-integrity targets provide authenticated
disk encryption - if the attacker modifies the encrypted device, an I/O
error is returned instead of random data.
The dm-integrity target can also be used as a standalone target, in this
mode it calculates and verifies the integrity tag internally. In this
mode, the dm-integrity target can be used to detect silent data
corruption on the disk or in the I/O path.

Add md raid4/5/6 journaling support (upstream commit bac624f3f8 started
the implementation) which closes the write hole (i.e. non-atomic updates
to stripes) using a dedicated journal device.
Background:
raid4/5/6 stripes hold N data payloads per stripe plus one parity raid4/5
or two raid6 P/Q syndrome payloads in an in-memory stripe cache.
Parity or P/Q syndromes used to recover any data payloads in case of a disk
failure are calculated from the N data payloads and need to be updated on the
different component devices of the raid device. Those are non-atomic,
persistent updates. Hence a crash can cause failure to update all stripe
payloads persistently and thus cause data loss during stripe recovery.
This problem gets addressed by writing whole stripe cache entries (together with
journal metadata) to a persistent journal entry on a dedicated journal device.
Only if that journal entry is written successfully, the stripe cache entry is
updated on the component devices of the raid device (i.e. writethrough type).
In case of a crash, the entry can be recovered from the journal and be written
again thus ensuring consistent stripe payload suitable to data recovery.
Future dependencies:
once writeback caching being worked on to compensate for the throughput
implictions involved with writethrough overhead is supported with journaling
in upstream, an additional patch based on this one will support it in dm-raid.
Journal resilience related remarks:
because stripes are recovered from the journal in case of a crash, the
journal device better be resilient. Resilience becomes mandatory with
future writeback support, because loosing the working set in the log
means data loss as oposed to writethrough, were the loss of the
journal device 'only' reintroduces the write hole.
Fix comment on data offsets in parse_dev_params() and initialize
new_data_offset as well.

This fix addresses the following 3 failure scenarios:
1) If a (transiently) inaccessible metadata device is being passed into the
constructor (e.g. a device tuple '254:4 254:5'), it is processed as if
'- -' was given. This erroneously results in a status table line containing
'- -', which mistakenly differs from what has been passed in. As a result,
userspace libdevmapper puts the device tuple seperate from the RAID device
thus not processing the dependencies properly.
2) False health status char 'A' instead of 'D' is emitted on the status
status info line for the meta/data device tuple in this metadata device
failure case.
3) If the metadata device is accessible when passed into the constructor
but the data device (partially) isn't, that leg may be set faulty by the
raid personality on access to the (partially) unavailable leg. Restore
tried in a second raid device resume on such failed leg (status char 'D')
fails after the (partial) leg returned.
Fixes for aforementioned failure scenarios:
- don't release passed in devices in the constructor thus allowing the
status table line to e.g. contain '254:4 254:5' rather than '- -'
- emit device status char 'D' rather than 'A' for the device tuple
with the failed metadata device on the status info line
- when attempting to restore faulty devices in a second resume, allow the
device hot remove function to succeed by setting the device to not in-sync
In case userspace intentionally passes '- -' into the constructor to avoid that
device tuple (e.g. to split off a raid1 leg temporarily for later re-addition),
the status table line will correctly show '- -' and the status info line will
provide a '-' device health character for the non-defined device tuple.

The kernel key service is a generic way to store keys for the use of
other subsystems. Currently there is no way to use kernel keys in dm-crypt.
This patch aims to fix that. Instead of key userspace may pass a key
description with preceding ':'. So message that constructs encryption
mapping now looks like this:
<cipher> [<key>|:<key_string>] <iv_offset> <dev_path> <start> [<#opt_params> <opt_params>]
where <key_string> is in format: <key_size>:<key_type>:<key_description>
Currently we only support two elementary key types: 'user' and 'logon'.
Keys may be loaded in dm-crypt either via <key_string> or using
classical method and pass the key in hex representation directly.
dm-crypt device initialised with a key passed in hex representation may be
replaced with key passed in key_string format and vice versa.

Add support for correcting corrupted blocks using Reed-Solomon.
This code uses RS(255, N) interleaved across data and hash
blocks. Each error-correcting block covers N bytes evenly
distributed across the combined total data, so that each byte is a
maximum distance away from the others. This makes it possible to
recover from several consecutive corrupted blocks with relatively
small space overhead.
In addition, using verity hashes to locate erasures nearly doubles
the effectiveness of error correction. Being able to detect
corrupted blocks also improves performance, because only corrupted
blocks need to corrected.
For a 2 GiB partition, RS(255, 253) (two parity bytes for each
253-byte block) can correct up to 16 MiB of consecutive corrupted
blocks if erasures can be located, and 8 MiB if they cannot, with

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:
"Smaller set of DM changes for this merge. I've based these changes on
Jens' for-4.4/reservations branch because the associated DM changes
required it.
- Revert a dm-multipath change that caused a regression for
unprivledged users (e.g. kvm guests) that issued ioctls when a
multipath device had no available paths.
- Include Christoph's refactoring of DM's ioctl handling and add
support for passing through persistent reservations with DM
multipath.

Commit 76c44f6d80 introduced the possibly for "Overflow" to be reported
by the snapshot device's status. Older userspace (e.g. lvm2) does not
handle the "Overflow" status response.
Fix this incompatibility by requiring newer userspace code, that can
cope with "Overflow", request the persistent store with overflow support
by using "PO" (Persistent with Overflow) for the snapshot store type.

If the user selected the precise_timestamps or histogram options, report
it in the @stats_list message output.
If the user didn't select these options, no extra tokens are reported,
thus it is backward compatible with old software that doesn't know about
precise timestamps and histogram.

The Stochastic multiqueue (SMQ) policy (vs MQ) offers the promise of
less memory utilization, improved performance and increased adaptability
in the face of changing workloads. SMQ also does not have any
cumbersome tuning knobs.
Users may switch from "mq" to "smq" simply by appropriately reloading a
DM table that is using the cache target. Doing so will cause all of the
mq policy's hints to be dropped. Also, performance of the cache may
degrade slightly until smq recalculates the origin device's hotspots
that should be cached.
In the future the "mq" policy will just silently make use of "smq" and
the mq code will be removed.

If a cache metadata operation fails (e.g. transaction commit) the
cache's metadata device will abort the current transaction, set a new
needs_check flag, and the cache will transition to "read-only" mode. If
aborting the transaction or setting the needs_check flag fails the cache
will transition to "fail-io" mode.
Once needs_check is set the cache device will not be allowed to
activate. Activation requires write access to metadata. Future work is
needed to add proper support for running the cache in read-only mode.
Once in fail-io mode the cache will report a status of "Fail".
Also, add commit() wrapper that will disallow commits if in read_only or
fail mode.

Add dm-raid access to the MD RAID0 personality to enable single zone
striping.
The following changes enable that access:
- add type definition to raid_types array
- make bitmap creation conditonal in super_validate(), because
bitmaps are not allowed in raid0
- set rdev->sectors to the data image size in super_validate()
to allow the raid0 personality to calculate the MD array
size properly
- use mdddev(un)lock() functions instead of direct mutex_(un)lock()
(wrapped in here because it's a trivial change)
- enhance raid_status() to always report full sync for raid0
so that userspace checks for 100% sync will succeed and allow
for resize (and takeover/reshape once added in future paches)
- enhance raid_resume() to not load bitmap in case of raid0
- add merge function to avoid data corruption (seen with readahead)
that resulted from bio payloads that grew too large. This problem
did not occur with the other raid levels because it either did not
apply without striping (raid1) or was avoided via stripe caching.
- raise version to 1.7.0 because of the raid0 API change

Introduce a new target that is meant for file system developers to test file
system integrity at particular points in the life of a file system. We capture
all write requests and associated data and log them to a separate device
for later replay. There is a userspace utility to do this replay. The
idea behind this is to give file system developers a tool to verify that
the file system is always consistent.

Add device specific modes to dm-verity to specify how corrupted
blocks should be handled. The following modes are defined:
- DM_VERITY_MODE_EIO is the default behavior, where reading a
corrupted block results in -EIO.
- DM_VERITY_MODE_LOGGING only logs corrupted blocks, but does
not block the read.
- DM_VERITY_MODE_RESTART calls kernel_restart when a corrupted
block is discovered.
In addition, each mode sends a uevent to notify userspace of
corruption and to allow further recovery actions.
The driver defaults to previous behavior (DM_VERITY_MODE_EIO)
and other modes can be enabled with an additional parameter to
the verity table.

Make it possible to disable offloading writes by setting the optional
'submit_from_crypt_cpus' table argument.
There are some situations where offloading write bios from the
encryption threads to a single thread degrades performance
significantly.
The default is to offload write bios to the same thread because it
benefits CFQ to have writes submitted using the same IO context.
