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.

Fix a bug in dm_btree_remove that could leave leaf values with incorrect
reference counts. The effect of this was that removal of a shared block
could result in the space maps thinking the block was no longer used.
More concretely, if you have a thin device and a snapshot of it, sending
a discard to a shared region of the thin could corrupt the snapshot.
Thinp uses a 2-level nested btree to store it's mappings. This first
level is indexed by thin device, and the second level by logical
block.
Often when we're removing an entry in this mapping tree we need to
rebalance nodes, which can involve shadowing them, possibly creating a
copy if the block is shared. If we do create a copy then children of
that node need to have their reference counts incremented. In this
way reference counts percolate down the tree as shared trees diverge.
The rebalance functions were incrementing the children at the
appropriate time, but they were always assuming the children were
internal nodes. This meant the leaf values (in our case packed
block/flags entries) were not being incremented.

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived
list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)
The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:
hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)
Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.
Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:
- Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
- Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
- A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
- Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

Fix the space map checker code to return an appropriate ERR_PTR and have
dm_sm_disk_create() and dm_tm_create_internal() check for it with
IS_ERR.

This patch implements two new messages that can be sent to the thin
pool target allowing it to take a snapshot of the _metadata_. This,
read-only snapshot can be accessed by userland, concurrently with the
live target.
Only one metadata snapshot can be held at a time. The pool's status
line will give the block location for the current msnap.
Since version 0.1.5 of the userland thin provisioning tools, the
thin_dump program displays the msnap as follows:
thin_dump -m <msnap root> <metadata dev>
Available here: https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools
Now that userland can access the metadata we can do various things
that have traditionally been kernel side tasks:
i) Incremental backups.
By using metadata snapshots we can work out what blocks have
changed over time. Combined with data snapshots we can ensure
the data doesn't change while we back it up.
A short proof of concept script can be found here:
https://github.com/jthornber/thinp-test-suite/blob/master/incremental_backup_example.rb
ii) Migration of thin devices from one pool to another.
iii) Merging snapshots back into an external origin.
iv) Asyncronous replication.

Save space by removing entries from the space map ref_count tree if
they're no longer needed.
Ref counts are stored in two places: a bitmap if the ref_count is
below 3, or a btree of uint32_t if 3 or above.
When a ref_count that was above 3 drops below we can remove it from
the tree and save some metadata space. This removal was commented out
before because I was unsure why this was causing under-populated btree
nodes. Earlier patches have fixed this issue.

Now that the value_size is held within every node of the btrees we can
remove this argument from value_ptr().
For the last few months a BUG_ON has been checking this argument is
the same as that held in the node. No issues were reported. So this
is a safe change.
