The size of struct dm_name_list is different on 32-bit and 64-bit
kernels (so "(nl + 1)" differs between 32-bit and 64-bit kernels).

This mismatch caused some harmless difference in padding when using 32-bit
or 64-bit kernel. Commit 23d70c5e ("dm ioctl: report event number in
DM_LIST_DEVICES") added reporting event number in the output of
DM_LIST_DEVICES_CMD. This difference in padding makes it impossible for
userspace to determine the location of the event number (the location
would be different when running on 32-bit and 64-bit kernels).

Fix the padding by using offsetof(struct dm_name_list, name) instead of
sizeof(struct dm_name_list) to determine the location of entries.

Also, the ioctl version number is incremented to 37 so that userspace
can use the version number to determine that the event number is present
and correctly located.

In addition, a global event is now raised when a DM device is created,
removed, renamed or when table is swapped, so that the user can monitor
for device changes.

Commit abebfbe2 ("dm: add ->flush() dax operation support") is
buggy. A DM device may be composed of multiple underlying devices and
all of them need to be flushed. That commit just routes the flush
request to the first device and ignores the other devices.

It could be fixed by adding more complex logic to the device mapper. But
there is only one implementation of the method pmem_dax_ops->flush - that
is pmem_dax_flush() - and it calls arch_wb_cache_pmem(). Consequently, we
don't need the pmem_dax_ops->flush abstraction at all, we can call
arch_wb_cache_pmem() directly from dax_flush() because dax_dev->ops->flush
can't ever reach anything different from arch_wb_cache_pmem().

It should be also pointed out that for some uses of persistent memory it
is needed to flush only a very small amount of data (such as 1 cacheline),
and it would be overkill if we go through that device mapper machinery for
a single flushed cache line.

Fix this by removing the pmem_dax_ops->flush abstraction and call
arch_wb_cache_pmem() directly from dax_flush(). Also, remove the device
mapper code that forwards the flushes.

This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O.  The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open.  Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).

For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device.  But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.

Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or

This patch converts bioset_create() to not create a workqueue by
default, so alloctions will never trigger punt_bios_to_rescuer().  It
also introduces a new flag BIOSET_NEED_RESCUER which tells
bioset_create() to preserve the old behavior.

All callers of bioset_create() that are inside block device drivers,
are given the BIOSET_NEED_RESCUER flag.

biosets used by filesystems or other top-level users do not
need rescuing as the bio can never be queued behind other
bios.  This includes fs_bio_set, blkdev_dio_pool,
btrfs_bioset, xfs_ioend_bioset, and one allocated by
target_core_iblock.c.

biosets used by md/raid do not need rescuing as
their usage was recently audited and revised to never
risk deadlock.

It is hoped that most, if not all, of the remaining biosets
can end up being the non-rescued version.

A dm-crypt on dm-integrity device incorrectly advertises an integrity

A general problem in DM is that if we have a DM device that depends on
another device with an integrity profile, the upper device will always
advertise the integrity profile, even when the target driver doesn't
support handling integrity data.

Most targets don't support integrity data, so we provide a whitelist of
targets that support it (linear, delay and striped).  The targets that

Currently only dm and md/raid5 bios trigger
trace_block_bio_complete().  Now that we have bio_chain() and
bio_inc_remaining(), it is not possible, in general, for a driver to
know when the bio is really complete.  Only bio_endio() knows that.

So move the trace_block_bio_complete() call to bio_endio().

Now trace_block_bio_complete() pairs with trace_block_bio_queue().
Any bio for which a 'queue' event is traced, will subsequently
generate a 'complete' event.

There are a few cases where completion tracing is not wanted.
1/ If blk_update_request() has already generated a completion
   trace event at the 'request' level, there is no point generating
   one at the bio level too.  In this case the bi_sector and bi_size
   will have changed, so the bio level event would be wrong

2/ If the bio hasn't actually been queued yet, but is being aborted
   early, then a trace event could be confusing.  Some filesystems
   call bio_endio() but do not want tracing.

3/ The bio_integrity code interposes itself by replacing bi_end_io,
   then restoring it and calling bio_endio() again.  This would produce
   two identical trace events if left like that.

To handle these, we introduce a flag BIO_TRACE_COMPLETION and only
produce the trace event when this is set.
We address point 1 above by clearing the flag in blk_update_request().
We address point 2 above by only setting the flag when
generic_make_request() is called.
We address point 3 above by clearing the flag after generating a
completion event.

When bio_split() is used on a bio, particularly in blk_queue_split(),
there is an extra complication.  A new bio is split off the front, and
may be handle directly without going through generic_make_request().
The old bio, which has been advanced, is passed to
generic_make_request(), so it will trigger a trace event a second
time.
Probably the best result when a split happens is to see a single
'queue' event for the whole bio, then multiple 'complete' events - one
for each component.  To achieve this was can:
- copy the BIO_TRACE_COMPLETION flag to the new bio in bio_split()
- avoid generating a 'queue' event if BIO_TRACE_COMPLETION is already set.
This way, the split-off bio won't create a queue event, the original
won't either even if it re-submitted to generic_make_request(),
but both will produce completion events, each for their own range.

So if generic_make_request() is called (which generates a QUEUED
event), then bi_endio() will create a single COMPLETE event for each
range that the bio is split into, unless the driver has explicitly
requested it not to.

Commit df2cb6da ("block: Avoid deadlocks with bio allocation by
stacking drivers") created a workqueue for every bio set and code
in bio_alloc_bioset() that tries to resolve some low-memory deadlocks
by redirecting bios queued on current->bio_list to the workqueue if the
system is low on memory.  However other deadlocks (see below **) may
happen, without any low memory condition, because generic_make_request
is queuing bios to current->bio_list (rather than submitting them).

** the related dm-snapshot deadlock is detailed here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2016-July/msg00065.html

Fix this deadlock by redirecting any bios on current->bio_list to the
bio_set's rescue workqueue on every schedule() call.  Consequently,
when the process blocks on a mutex, the bios queued on
current->bio_list are dispatched to independent workqueus and they can
complete without waiting for the mutex to be available.

The structure blk_plug contains an entry cb_list and this list can contain
arbitrary callback functions that are called when the process blocks.
To implement this fix DM (ab)uses the onstack plug's cb_list interface
to get its flush_current_bio_list() called at schedule() time.

This fixes the snapshot deadlock - if the map method blocks,
flush_current_bio_list() will be called and it redirects bios waiting
on current->bio_list to appropriate workqueues.

A good practice is to prefix the names of functions by the name
of the subsystem.

The kthread worker API is a mix of classic kthreads and workqueues.  Each
worker has a dedicated kthread.  It runs a generic function that process
queued works.  It is implemented as part of the kthread subsystem.

This patch renames the existing kthread worker API to use
the corresponding name from the workqueues API prefixed by
kthread_:

__init_kthread_worker()		-> __kthread_init_worker()
init_kthread_worker()		-> kthread_init_worker()
init_kthread_work()		-> kthread_init_work()
insert_kthread_work()		-> kthread_insert_work()
queue_kthread_work()		-> kthread_queue_work()
flush_kthread_work()		-> kthread_flush_work()
flush_kthread_worker()		-> kthread_flush_worker()

Note that the names of DEFINE_KTHREAD_WORK*() macros stay
as they are. It is common that the "DEFINE_" prefix has
precedence over the subsystem names.

Note that INIT() macros and init() functions use different
naming scheme. There is no good solution. There are several
reasons for this solution:

  + "init" in the function names stands for the verb "initialize"
    aka "initialize worker". While "INIT" in the macro names
    stands for the noun "INITIALIZER" aka "worker initializer".

  + INIT() macros are used only in DEFINE() macros

  + init() functions are used close to the other kthread()
    functions. It looks much better if all the functions
    use the same scheme.

  + There will be also kthread_destroy_worker() that will
    be used close to kthread_cancel_work(). It is related
    to the init() function. Again it looks better if all
    functions use the same naming scheme.

  + there are several precedents for such init() function
    names, e.g. amd_iommu_init_device(), free_area_init_node(),
    jump_label_init_type(),  regmap_init_mmio_clk(),

  + It is not an argument but it was inconsistent even before.
