This patch takes advantage of the new bio-prison interface where the
memory is now passed in rather than using a mempool in bio-prison.
This allows the map function to avoid performing potentially-blocking
allocations that could lead to deadlocks: We want to avoid the cell
allocation that is done in bio_detain.

(The potential for mempool deadlocks still remains in other functions
that use bio_detain.)

This patch allows the administrator to reduce the rate at which kcopyd

Each module that uses kcopyd acquires a throttle parameter that can be

We maintain a history of kcopyd usage by each module in the variables
io_period and total_period in struct dm_kcopyd_throttle. The actual
kcopyd activity is calculated as a percentage of time equal to
"(100 * io_period / total_period)".  This is compared with the user-defined

Avoid returning a truncated table or status string instead of setting
the DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG when the last target of a table fills the
buffer.

When processing a table or status request, the function retrieve_status
calls ti->type->status. If ti->type->status returns non-zero,
retrieve_status assumes that the buffer overflowed and sets
DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG.

However, targets don't return non-zero values from their status method
on overflow. Most targets returns always zero.

If a buffer overflow happens in a target that is not the last in the
table, it gets noticed during the next iteration of the loop in
retrieve_status; but if a buffer overflow happens in the last target, it
goes unnoticed and erroneously truncated data is returned.

In the current code, the targets behave in the following way:
* dm-crypt returns -ENOMEM if there is not enough space to store the
  key, but it returns 0 on all other overflows.
* dm-thin returns errors from the status method if a disk error happened.
  This is incorrect because retrieve_status doesn't check the error
  code, it assumes that all non-zero values mean buffer overflow.
* all the other targets always return 0.

This patch changes the ti->type->status function to return void (because
most targets don't use the return code). Overflow is detected in
retrieve_status: if the status method fills up the remaining space
completely, it is assumed that buffer overflow happened.

thin_io_hints() is blindly copying the queue limits from the thin-pool
which can lead to incorrect limits being set.  The fix here simply
deletes the thin_io_hints() hook which leaves the existing stacking
infrastructure to set the limits correctly.

When a thin-pool uses an MD device for the data device a thin device
from the thin-pool must respect MD's constraints about disallowing a bio
from spanning multiple chunks.  Otherwise we can see problems.  If the raid0
chunksize is 1152K and thin-pool chunksize is 256K I see the following
md/raid0 error (with extra debug tracing added to thin_endio) when
mkfs.xfs is executed against the thin device:

md/raid0:md99: make_request bug: can't convert block across chunks or bigger than 1152k 6688 127
device-mapper: thin: bio sector=2080 err=-5 bi_size=130560 bi_rw=17 bi_vcnt=32 bi_idx=0

This extra DM debugging shows that the failing bio is spanning across
the first and second logical 1152K chunk (sector 2080 + 255 takes the
bio beyond the first chunk's boundary of sector 2304).  So the bio
splitting that DM is doing clearly isn't respecting the MD limits.

max_hw_sectors_kb is 127 for both the thin-pool and thin device
(queue_max_hw_sectors returns 255 so we'll excuse sysfs's lack of
precision).  So this explains why bi_size is 130560.

But the thin device's max_hw_sectors_kb should be 4 (PAGE_SIZE) given
that it doesn't have a .merge function (for bio_add_page to consult
indirectly via dm_merge_bvec) yet the thin-pool does sit above an MD
device that has a compulsory merge_bvec_fn.  This scenario is exactly
why DM must resort to sending single PAGE_SIZE bios to the underlying
layer. Some additional context for this is available in the header for
commit 8cbeb67a ("dm: avoid unsupported spanning of md stripe boundaries").

Long story short, the reason a thin device doesn't properly get
configured to have a max_hw_sectors_kb of 4 (PAGE_SIZE) is that
thin_io_hints() is blindly copying the queue limits from the thin-pool
device directly to the thin device's queue limits.

Fix this by eliminating thin_io_hints.  Doing so is safe because the
block layer's queue limits stacking already enables the upper level thin
device to inherit the thin-pool device's discard and minimum_io_size and
optimal_io_size limits that get set in pool_io_hints.  But avoiding the
queue limits copy allows the thin and thin-pool limits to be different
where it is important, namely max_hw_sectors_kb.

WRITE SAME is a SCSI command that can be leveraged for more efficient

There is a race when discard bios and non-discard bios are issued
simultaneously to the same block.

Discard support is expensive for all thin devices precisely because you
have to be careful to quiesce the area you're discarding.  DM thin must
handle this conflicting IO pattern (simultaneous non-discard vs discard)
even though a sane application shouldn't be issuing such IO.

The race manifests as follows:

1. A non-discard bio is mapped in thin_bio_map.
   This doesn't lock out parallel activity to the same block.

2. A discard bio is issued to the same block as the non-discard bio.

3. The discard bio is locked in a dm_bio_prison_cell in process_discard
   to lock out parallel activity against the same block.

4. The non-discard bio's mapping continues and its all_io_entry is
   incremented so the bio is accounted for in the thin pool's all_io_ds
   which is a dm_deferred_set used to track time locality of non-discard IO.

5. The non-discard bio is finally locked in a dm_bio_prison_cell in
   process_bio.

The race can result in deadlock, leaving the block layer hanging waiting
for completion of a discard bio that never completes, e.g.:

INFO: task ruby:15354 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

The thinp-test-suite's test_discard_random_sectors reliably hits this
deadlock on fast SSD storage.

The fix for this race is that the all_io_entry for a bio must be
incremented whilst the dm_bio_prison_cell is held for the bio's
associated virtual and physical blocks.  That cell locking wasn't
occurring early enough in thin_bio_map.  This patch fixes this.

Care is taken to always call the new function inc_all_io_entry() with
the relevant cells locked, but they are generally unlocked before
calling issue() to try to avoid holding the cells locked across
generic_submit_request.

Also, now that thin_bio_map may lock bios in a cell, process_bio() is no
longer the only thread that will do so.  Because of this we must be sure
to use cell_defer_except() to release all non-holder entries, that
were added by the other thread, because they must be deferred.

This patch depends on "dm thin: replace dm_cell_release_singleton with
cell_defer_except".

Change existing users of the function dm_cell_release_singleton to share
cell_defer_except instead, and then remove the now-unused function.

Everywhere that calls dm_cell_release_singleton, the bio in question
is the holder of the cell.

If there are no non-holder entries in the cell then cell_defer_except
behaves exactly like dm_cell_release_singleton.  Conversely, if there
*are* non-holder entries then dm_cell_release_singleton must not be used
because those entries would need to be deferred.

Consequently, it is safe to replace use of dm_cell_release_singleton
with cell_defer_except.

The dm thin pool target claims to support the zeroing of discarded
data areas.  This turns out to be incorrect when processing discards
that do not exactly cover a complete number of blocks, so the target
must always set discard_zeroes_data_unsupported.

The thin pool target will zero blocks when they are allocated if the
skip_block_zeroing feature is not specified.  The block layer
may send a discard that only partly covers a block.  If a thin pool
block is partially discarded then there is no guarantee that the
discarded data will get zeroed before it is accessed again.
Due to this, thin devices cannot claim discards will always zero data.

When process_discard receives a partial discard that doesn't cover a
full block, it sends this discard down to that block. Unfortunately, the
block can be shared and the discard would corrupt the other snapshots
sharing this block.

This patch detects block sharing and ends the discard with success when
sending it to the shared block.

The above change means that if the device supports discard it can't be
guaranteed that a discard request zeroes data. Therefore, we set
ti->discard_zeroes_data_unsupported.
