2099b145d7 dm era: Update in-core bitset after committing the metadata
In case of a system crash, dm-era might fail to mark blocks as written
in its metadata, although the corresponding writes to these blocks were
passed down to the origin device and completed successfully.

Consider the following sequence of events:

1. We write to a block that has not been yet written in the current era
2. era_map() checks the in-core bitmap for the current era and sees
   that the block is not marked as written.
3. The write is deferred for submission after the metadata have been
   updated and committed.
4. The worker thread processes the deferred write
   (process_deferred_bios()) and marks the block as written in the
   in-core bitmap, **before** committing the metadata.
5. The worker thread starts committing the metadata.
6. We do more writes that map to the same block as the write of step (1)
7. era_map() checks the in-core bitmap and sees that the block is marked
   as written, **although the metadata have not been committed yet**.
8. These writes are passed down to the origin device immediately and the
   device reports them as completed.
9. The system crashes, e.g., power failure, before the commit from step
   (5) finishes.

When the system recovers and we query the dm-era target for the list of
written blocks it doesn't report the aforementioned block as written,
although the writes of step (6) completed successfully.

The issue is that era_map() decides whether to defer or not a write
based on non committed information. The root cause of the bug is that we
update the in-core bitmap, **before** committing the metadata.

Fix this by updating the in-core bitmap **after** successfully
committing the metadata.

de89afc1e4 dm era: Recover committed writeset after crash
Following a system crash, dm-era fails to recover the committed writeset
for the current era, leading to lost writes. That is, we lose the
information about what blocks were written during the affected era.

dm-era assumes that the writeset of the current era is archived when the
device is suspended. So, when resuming the device, it just moves on to
the next era, ignoring the committed writeset.

This assumption holds when the device is properly shut down. But, when
the system crashes, the code that suspends the target never runs, so the
writeset for the current era is not archived.

There are three issues that cause the committed writeset to get lost:

1. dm-era doesn't load the committed writeset when opening the metadata
2. The code that resizes the metadata wipes the information about the
   committed writeset (assuming it was loaded at step 1)
3. era_preresume() starts a new era, without taking into account that
   the current era might not have been archived, due to a system crash.

To fix this:

1. Load the committed writeset when opening the metadata
2. Fix the code that resizes the metadata to make sure it doesn't wipe
   the loaded writeset
3. Fix era_preresume() to check for a loaded writeset and archive it,
   before starting a new era.

21cf866145 writeback: remove bdi->congested_fn
Except for pktdvd, the only places setting congested bits are file
systems that allocate their own backing_dev_info structures.  And
pktdvd is a deprecated driver that isn't useful in stack setup
either.  So remove the dead congested_fn stacking infrastructure.

74d46992e0 block: replace bi_bdev with a gendisk pointer and partitions index
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
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
over the stack.

117aceb030 dm era: save spacemap metadata root after the pre-commit
When committing era metadata to disk, it doesn't always save the latest
spacemap metadata root in superblock. Due to this, metadata is getting
corrupted sometimes when reopening the device. The correct order of update
should be, pre-commit (shadows spacemap root), save the spacemap root
(newly shadowed block) to in-core superblock and then the final commit.

1eff9d322a block: rename bio bi_rw to bi_opf
Since commit 63a4cc2486, bio->bi_rw contains flags in the lower
portion and the op code in the higher portions. This means that
old code that relies on manually setting bi_rw is most likely
going to be broken. Instead of letting that brokeness linger,
rename the member, to force old and out-of-tree code to break
at compile time instead of at runtime.

No intended functional changes in this commit.

eec40579d8 dm: add era target
dm-era is a target that behaves similar to the linear target.  In
addition it keeps track of which blocks were written within a user
defined period of time called an 'era'.  Each era target instance
maintains the current era as a monotonically increasing 32-bit
counter.

Use cases include tracking changed blocks for backup software, and
partially invalidating the contents of a cache to restore cache
coherency after rolling back a vendor snapshot.

dm-era is primarily expected to be paired with the dm-cache target.
