The "unable to allocate new metadata block" error can be a particularly
verbose error if there is a systemic issue with the metadata device.

Commit 2fc48021 ("dm persistent
metadata: add space map threshold callback") introduced a regression
to the metadata block allocation path that resulted in errors being
ignored.  This regression was uncovered by running the following
device-mapper-test-suite test:
dmtest run --suite thin-provisioning -n /exhausting_metadata_space_causes_fail_mode/

The ignored error codes in sm_metadata_new_block() could crash the
kernel through use of either the dm-thin or dm-cache targets, e.g.:

device-mapper: thin: 253:4: reached low water mark for metadata device: sending event.
device-mapper: space map metadata: unable to allocate new metadata block
general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP

Add a threshold callback to dm persistent data space maps.
Signed-off-by: NJoe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com>
Signed-off-by: NAlasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>

Add a threshold callback function to the persistent data space map
interface for a subsequent patch to use.

dm-thin and dm-cache are interested in knowing when they're getting
low on metadata or data blocks.  This patch introduces a new method
for registering a callback against a threshold.

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.
