DM multipath is the only dm-mq target.  But that aside, request-based DM
only supports tables with a single target that is immutable.  Leverage
this fact in dm_mq_queue_rq() by using the 'immutable_target' stored in
the mapped_device when the table was made active.  This saves the need
to even take the read-side of the SRCU via dm_{get,put}_live_table.

If the active DM table does not have an immutable target (e.g. "error"
target was swapped in) then fallback to the slow-path where the target
is looked up from the live table.

The DM_TARGET_WILDCARD feature indicates that the "error" target may
replace any target; even immutable targets.  This feature will be useful
to preserve the ability to replace the "multipath" target even once it
is formally converted over to having the DM_TARGET_IMMUTABLE feature.

Also, implicit in the DM_TARGET_WILDCARD feature flag being set is that
.map, .map_rq, .clone_and_map_rq and .release_clone_rq are all defined
in the target_type.

This reverts commit 5f1b670d.

Justification for revert as reported in this dm-devel post:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-June/msg00160.html

this change should not be pushed to mainline yet.

Firstly, Christoph has a newer version of the patch that fixes silent
data corruption problem:
  https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-May/msg00229.html

And the new version still depends on LLDDs to always complete requests
to the end when error happens, while block API doesn't enforce such a
requirement. If the assumption is ever broken, the inconsistency between
request and bio (e.g. rq->__sector and rq->bio) will cause silent data
corruption:

With the planned cgroup writeback support, backing-dev related
declarations will be more widely used across block and cgroup;
unfortunately, including backing-dev.h from include/linux/blkdev.h
makes cyclic include dependency quite likely.

This patch separates out backing-dev-defs.h which only has the
essential definitions and updates blkdev.h to include it.  c files
which need access to more backing-dev details now include
backing-dev.h directly.  This takes backing-dev.h off the common
include dependency chain making it a lot easier to use it across block
and cgroup.

Currently dm-multipath has to clone the bios for every request sent
to the lower devices, which wastes cpu cycles and ties down memory.

This patch instead adds a new REQ_CLONE flag that instructs req_bio_endio
to not complete bios attached to a request, which we set on clone
requests similar to bios in a flush sequence.  With this change I/O
errors on a path failure only get propagated to dm-multipath, which
can then either resubmit the I/O or complete the bios on the original
request.

I've done some basic testing of this on a Linux target with ALUA support,
and it survives path failures during I/O nicely.

Request-based DM's blk-mq support defaults to off; but a user can easily
change the default using the dm_mod.use_blk_mq module/boot option.

Also, you can check what mode a given request-based DM device is using
with: cat /sys/block/dm-X/dm/use_blk_mq

md->io_pool and md->rq_pool isn't created if using blk-mq).

Otherwise, for sequential workloads, the dm_request_fn can allow
excessive request merging at the expense of increased service time.

Add a per-device sysfs attribute to allow the user to control how long a
request, that is a reasonable merge candidate, can be queued on the
request queue.  The resolution of this request dispatch deadline is in
microseconds (ranging from 1 to 100000 usecs), to set a 20us deadline:
  echo 20 > /sys/block/dm-7/dm/rq_based_seq_io_merge_deadline

The dm_request_fn's merge heuristic and associated extra accounting is
disabled by default (rq_based_seq_io_merge_deadline is 0).

This sysfs attribute is not applicable to bio-based DM devices so it
will only ever report 0 for them.

By allowing a request to remain on the queue it will block others
requests on the queue.  But introducing a short dequeue delay has proven
very effective at enabling certain sequential IO workloads on really
fast, yet IOPS constrained, devices to build up slightly larger IOs --
yielding 90+% throughput improvements.  Having precise control over the
time taken to wait for larger requests to build affords control beyond
that of waiting for certain IO sizes to accumulate (which would require
a deadline anyway).  This knob will only ever make sense with sequential
IO workloads and the particular value used is storage configuration
specific.

Given the expected niche use-case for when this knob is useful it has
been deemed acceptable to expose this relatively crude method for
crafting optimal IO on specific storage -- especially given the solution
is simple yet effective.  In the context of DM multipath, it is
advisable to tune this sysfs attribute to a value that offers the best
performance for the common case (e.g. if 4 paths are expected active,
tune for that; if paths fail then performance may be slightly reduced).

Alternatives were explored to have request-based DM autotune this value
(e.g. if/when paths fail) but they were quickly deemed too fragile and
complex to warrant further design and development time.  If this problem
proves more common as faster storage emerges we'll have to look at
elevating a generic solution into the block core.

DM multipath is the only caller of blk_lld_busy() -- which calls a
queue's lld_busy_fn hook.  Request-based DM doesn't support stacking
multipath devices so there is no reason to register the lld_busy_fn hook

As such, remove functions dm_lld_busy and dm_table_any_busy_target.

For blk-mq request-based DM the responsibility of allocating a cloned
request is transfered from DM core to the target type.  Doing so
enables the cloned request to be allocated from the appropriate
blk-mq request_queue's pool (only the DM target, e.g. multipath, can
know which block device to send a given cloned request to).

Care was taken to preserve compatibility with old-style block request
completion that requires request-based DM _not_ acquire the clone
request's queue lock in the completion path.  As such, there are now 2
different request-based DM target_type interfaces:
1) the original .map_rq() interface will continue to be used for
   non-blk-mq devices -- the preallocated clone request is passed in
   from DM core.
2) a new .clone_and_map_rq() and .release_clone_rq() will be used for
   blk-mq devices -- blk_get_request() and blk_put_request() are used
   respectively from these hooks.

dm_table_set_type() was updated to detect if the request-based target is
being stacked on blk-mq devices, if so DM_TYPE_MQ_REQUEST_BASED is set.
DM core disallows switching the DM table's type after it is set.  This
means that there is no mixing of non-blk-mq and blk-mq devices within
the same request-based DM table.

Rename dm_internal_{suspend,resume} to dm_internal_{suspend,resume}_fast
-- dm-stats will continue using these methods to avoid all the extra
suspend/resume logic that is not needed in order to quickly flush IO.

Introduce dm_internal_suspend_noflush() variant that actually calls the
mapped_device's target callbacks -- otherwise target-specific hooks are
avoided (e.g. dm-thin's thin_presuspend and thin_postsuspend).  Common
code between dm_internal_{suspend_noflush,resume} and
dm_{suspend,resume} was factored out as __dm_{suspend,resume}.

Update dm_internal_{suspend_noflush,resume} to always take and release
the mapped_device's suspend_lock.  Also update dm_{suspend,resume} to be
aware of potential for DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG to be set and respond
accordingly by interruptibly waiting for the DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG to
be cleared.  Add lockdep annotation to dm_suspend() and dm_resume().

The existing DM_SUSPEND_FLAG remains unchanged.
DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG is set by dm_internal_suspend_noflush() and
cleared by dm_internal_resume().

Both DM_SUSPEND_FLAG and DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG may be set if a device
was already suspended when dm_internal_suspend_noflush() was called --
this can be thought of as a "nested suspend".  A "nested suspend" can
occur with legacy userspace dm-thin code that might suspend all active
thin volumes before suspending the pool for resize.

But otherwise, in the normal dm-thin-pool suspend case moving forward:
the thin-pool will have DM_SUSPEND_FLAG set and all active thins from
that thin-pool will have DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG set.

Also add DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG to status report.  This new
DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG state is being reported to assist with

Until this change, when loading a new DM table, DM core would re-open
all of the devices in the DM table.  Now, DM core will avoid redundant
device opens (and closes when destroying the old table) if the old
table already has a device open using the same mode.  This is achieved
by managing reference counts on the table_devices that DM core now
stores in the mapped_device structure (rather than in the dm_table
structure).  So a mapped_device's active and inactive dm_tables' dm_dev
lists now just point to the dm_devs stored in the mapped_device's
table_devices list.

This improvement in DM core's device reference counting has the
side-effect of fixing a long-standing limitation of the multipath
target: a DM multipath table couldn't include any paths that were unusable
(failed).  For example: if all paths have failed and you add a new,
working, path to the table; you can't use it since the table load would
fail due to it still containing failed paths.  Now a re-load of a
multipath table can include failed devices and when those devices become
active again they can be used instantly.

The device list code in dm.c isn't a straight copy/paste from the code in
dm-table.c, but it's very close (aside from some variable renames).  One
subtle difference is that find_table_device for the tables_devices list
will only match devices with the same name and mode.  This is because we
don't want to upgrade a device's mode in the active table when an
inactive table is loaded.

Access to the mapped_device structure's tables_devices list requires a
mutex (tables_devices_lock), so that tables cannot be created and
destroyed concurrently.

This reverts commit be35f486 ("dm: wait until embedded kobject is
released before destroying a device") and provides an improved fix.

The kobject release code that calls the completion must be placed in a
non-module file, otherwise there is a module unload race (if the process
calling dm_kobject_release is preempted and the DM module unloaded after
the completion is triggered, but before dm_kobject_release returns).

To fix this race, this patch moves the completion code to dm-builtin.c
which is always compiled directly into the kernel if BLK_DEV_DM is
selected.

The patch introduces a new dm_kobject_holder structure, its purpose is
to keep the completion and kobject in one place, so that it can be
accessed from non-module code without the need to export the layout of
struct mapped_device to that code.

There may be other parts of the kernel holding a reference on the dm
kobject.  We must wait until all references are dropped before
deallocating the mapped_device structure.

The dm_kobject_release method signals that all references are dropped
via completion.  But dm_kobject_release doesn't free the kobject (which
is embedded in the mapped_device structure).

This is the sequence of operations:
* when destroying a DM device, call kobject_put from dm_sysfs_exit
* wait until all users stop using the kobject, when it happens the
  release method is called
* the release method signals the completion and should return without
  delay
* the dm device removal code that waits on the completion continues
* the dm device removal code drops the dm_mod reference the device had
* the dm device removal code frees the mapped_device structure that
  contains the kobject

Using kobject this way should avoid the module unload race that was
mentioned at the beginning of this thread:

This patch allows the removal of an open device to be deferred until
it is closed.  (Previously such a removal attempt would fail.)

The deferred remove functionality is enabled by setting the flag
DM_DEFERRED_REMOVE in the ioctl structure on DM_DEV_REMOVE or
DM_REMOVE_ALL ioctl.

On return from DM_DEV_REMOVE, the flag DM_DEFERRED_REMOVE indicates if
the device was removed immediately or flagged to be removed on close -
if the flag is clear, the device was removed.

On return from DM_DEV_STATUS and other ioctls, the flag
DM_DEFERRED_REMOVE is set if the device is scheduled to be removed on
closure.

A device that is scheduled to be deleted can be revived using the
message "@cancel_deferred_remove". This message clears the
DMF_DEFERRED_REMOVE flag so that the device won't be deleted on close.

Add a new flag DMF_MERGE_IS_OPTIONAL to struct mapped_device to indicate
whether the device can accept bios larger than the size its merge

which can split them if necessary.  Snapshot I/O may be significantly
fragmented and this approach seems to improve peformance.

Before the patch, dm_set_device_limits restricted bio size to page size
if the underlying device had a merge function and the target didn't
provide a merge function.  After the patch, dm_set_device_limits
restricts bio size to page size if the underlying device has a merge
function, doesn't have DMF_MERGE_IS_OPTIONAL flag and the target doesn't
provide a merge function.

The snapshot target can't provide a merge function because when the merge
function is called, it is impossible to determine where the bio will be
remapped.  Previously this led us to impose a 4k limit, which we can
now remove if the snapshot store is located on a device without a merge
function.  Together with another patch for optimizing full chunk writes,
it improves performance from 29MB/s to 40MB/s when writing to the

Change bio-based mapped devices no longer to have a fully initialized
request_queue (request_fn, elevator, etc).  This means bio-based DM
devices no longer register elevator sysfs attributes ('iosched/' tree
or 'scheduler' other than "none").

In contrast, a request-based DM device will continue to have a full
request_queue and will register elevator sysfs attributes.  Therefore
a user can determine a DM device's type by checking if elevator sysfs
attributes exist.

First allocate a minimalist request_queue structure for a DM device
(needed for both bio and request-based DM).

Initialization of a full request_queue is deferred until it is known
that the DM device is request-based, at the end of the table load
sequence.

Factor DM device's request_queue initialization:
- common to both request-based and bio-based into dm_init_md_queue().
- specific to request-based into dm_init_request_based_queue().

The md->type_lock mutex is used to protect md->queue, in addition to
md->type, during table_load().

A DM device's first table_load will establish the immutable md->type.
But md->queue initialization, based on md->type, may fail at that time
(because blk_init_allocated_queue cannot allocate memory).  Therefore
any subsequent table_load must (re)try dm_setup_md_queue independently of

Determine whether a mapped device is bio-based or request-based when
loading its first (inactive) table and don't allow that to be changed
later.

This patch performs different device initialisation in each of the two
cases.  (We don't think it's necessary to add code to support changing
between the two types.)

Allowed md->type transitions:
  DM_TYPE_NONE to DM_TYPE_BIO_BASED
  DM_TYPE_NONE to DM_TYPE_REQUEST_BASED

We now prevent table_load from replacing the inactive table with a
conflicting type of table even after an explicit table_clear.

Introduce 'type_lock' into the struct mapped_device to protect md->type
and to prepare for the next patch that will change the queue
initialization and allocate memory while md->type_lock is held.

This patch separates the device deletion code from dm_put()
to make sure the deletion happens in the process context.

By this patch, device deletion always occurs in an ioctl (process)
context and dm_put() can be called in interrupt context.
As a result, the request-based dm's bad dm_put() usage pointed out
by Mikulas below disappears.
    http://marc.info/?l=dm-devel&m=126699981019735&w=2

Without this patch, I confirmed there is a case to crash the system:
    dm_put() => dm_table_destroy() => vfree() => BUG_ON(in_interrupt())

Some more backgrounds and details:
In request-based dm, a device opener can remove a mapped_device
while the last request is still completing, because bios in the last
request complete first and then the device opener can close and remove
the mapped_device before the last request completes:
  CPU0                                          CPU1
  =================================================================
  <<INTERRUPT>>
  blk_end_request_all(clone_rq)
    blk_update_request(clone_rq)
      bio_endio(clone_bio) == end_clone_bio
        blk_update_request(orig_rq)
          bio_endio(orig_bio)
                                                <<I/O completed>>
                                                dm_blk_close()
                                                dev_remove()
                                                  dm_put(md)
                                                    <<Free md>>
   blk_finish_request(clone_rq)
     ....
     dm_end_request(clone_rq)
       free_rq_clone(clone_rq)
       blk_end_request_all(orig_rq)
       rq_completed(md)

So request-based dm used dm_get()/dm_put() to hold md for each I/O
until its request completion handling is fully done.
However, the final dm_put() can call the device deletion code which
must not be run in interrupt context and may cause kernel panic.

To solve the problem, this patch moves the device deletion code,
dm_destroy(), to predetermined places that is actually deleting
the mapped_device in ioctl (process) context, and changes dm_put()
just to decrement the reference count of the mapped_device.
By this change, dm_put() can be used in any context and the symmetric
model below is introduced:
    dm_create():  create a mapped_device
    dm_destroy(): destroy a mapped_device
    dm_get():     increment the reference count of a mapped_device
    dm_put():     decrement the reference count of a mapped_device

dm_destroy() waits for all references of the mapped_device to disappear,
then deletes the mapped_device.

dm_destroy() uses active waiting with msleep(1), since deleting
the mapped_device isn't performance-critical task.
And since at this point, nobody opens the mapped_device and no new
reference will be taken, the pending counts are just for racing
completing activity and will eventually decrease to zero.

For the unlikely case of the forced module unload, dm_destroy_immediate(),
which doesn't wait and forcibly deletes the mapped_device, is also
introduced and used in dm_hash_remove_all().  Otherwise, "rmmod -f"
may be stuck and never return.
And now, because the mapped_device is deleted at this point, subsequent
accesses to the mapped_device may cause NULL pointer references.

Allocate "struct io" from a slab.

This patch changes dm-io, so that "struct io" is allocated from a slab cache.
It used to be allocated with kmalloc. Allocating from a slab will be needed
for the next patch, because it requires a special alignment of "struct io"
and kmalloc cannot meet this alignment.
