Just use a non-zero max_discard_sectors as an indicator for discard
support, similar to what is done for write zeroes.
The only places where needs special attention is the RAID5 driver,
which must clear discard support for security reasons by default,
even if the default stacking rules would allow for it.

For device mapper targets to take advantage of IMA's measurement
capabilities, the status functions for the individual targets need to be
updated to handle the status_type_t case for value STATUSTYPE_IMA.
Update status functions for the following target types, to log their
respective attributes to be measured using IMA.
01. cache
02. crypt
03. integrity
04. linear
05. mirror
06. multipath
07. raid
08. snapshot
09. striped
10. verity
For rest of the targets, handle the STATUSTYPE_IMA case by setting the
measurement buffer to NULL.
For IMA to measure the data on a given system, the IMA policy on the
system needs to be updated to have the following line, and the system
needs to be restarted for the measurements to take effect.
/etc/ima/ima-policy
measure func=CRITICAL_DATA label=device-mapper template=ima-buf
The measurements will be reflected in the IMA logs, which are located at:
/sys/kernel/security/integrity/ima/ascii_runtime_measurements
/sys/kernel/security/integrity/ima/binary_runtime_measurements
These IMA logs can later be consumed by various attestation clients
running on the system, and send them to external services for attesting
the system.
The DM target data measured by IMA subsystem can alternatively
be queried from userspace by setting DM_IMA_MEASUREMENT_FLAG with
DM_TABLE_STATUS_CMD.

The crash can be reproduced by running the lvm2 testsuite test
lvconvert-thin-external-cache.sh for several minutes, e.g.:
while :; do make check T=shell/lvconvert-thin-external-cache.sh; done
The crash happens in this call chain:
do_waker -> policy_tick -> smq_tick -> end_hotspot_period -> clear_bitset
-> memset -> __memset -- which accesses an invalid pointer in the vmalloc
area.
The work entry on the workqueue is executed even after the bitmap was
freed. The problem is that cancel_delayed_work doesn't wait for the
running work item to finish, so the work item can continue running and
re-submitting itself even after cache_postsuspend. In order to make sure
that the work item won't be running, we must use cancel_delayed_work_sync.
Also, change flush_workqueue to drain_workqueue, so that if some work item
submits itself or another work item, we are properly waiting for both of
them.

GFP_NOWAIT allocation can fail anytime - it doesn't wait for memory being
available and it fails if the mempool is exhausted and there is not enough
memory.
If we go down this path:
map_bio -> mg_start -> alloc_migration -> mempool_alloc(GFP_NOWAIT)
we can see that map_bio() doesn't check the return value of mg_start(),
and the bio is leaked.
If we go down this path:
map_bio -> mg_start -> mg_lock_writes -> alloc_prison_cell ->
dm_bio_prison_alloc_cell_v2 -> mempool_alloc(GFP_NOWAIT) ->
mg_lock_writes -> mg_complete
the bio is ended with an error - it is unacceptable because it could
cause filesystem corruption if the machine ran out of memory
temporarily.
Change GFP_NOWAIT to GFP_NOIO, so that the mempool code will properly
wait until memory becomes available. mempool_alloc with GFP_NOIO can't
fail, so remove the code paths that deal with allocation failure.

DM cache now defaults to passing discards down to the origin device.
User may disable this using the "no_discard_passdown" feature when
creating the cache device.
If the cache's underlying origin device doesn't support discards then
passdown is disabled (with warning). Similarly, if the underlying
origin device's max_discard_sectors is less than a cache block discard
passdown will be disabled (this is required because sizing of the cache
internal discard bitset depends on it).

A reload of the cache's DM table is needed during resize because
otherwise a crash will occur when attempting to access smq policy
entries associated with the portion of the cache that was recently
extended.
The reason is cache-size based data structures in the policy will not be
resized, the only way to safely extend the cache is to allow for a
proper cache policy initialization that occurs when the cache table is
loaded. For example the smq policy's space_init(), init_allocator(),
calc_hotspot_params() must be sized based on the extended cache size.
The fix for this is to disallow cache resizes of this pattern:
1) suspend "cache" target's device
2) resize the fast device used for the cache
3) resume "cache" target's device
Instead, the last step must be a full reload of the cache's DM table.

Discontinue issuing writethrough write IO in series to the origin and
then cache.
Use bio_clone_fast() to create a new origin clone bio that will be
mapped to the origin device and then bio_chain() it to the bio that gets
remapped to the cache device. The origin clone bio does _not_ have a
copy of the per_bio_data -- as such check_if_tick_bio_needed() will not
be called.
The cache bio (parent bio) will not complete until the origin bio has
completed -- this fulfills bio_clone_fast()'s requirements as well as
the requirement to not complete the original IO until the write IO has
completed to both the origin and cache device.
Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>
When a DM cache in writeback mode moves data between the slow and fast
device it can often avoid a copy if the triggering bio either:
i) covers the whole block (no point copying if we're about to overwrite it)
ii) the migration is a promotion and the origin block is currently discarded
Prior to this fix there was a race with case (ii). The discard status
was checked with a shared lock held (rather than exclusive). This meant
another bio could run in parallel and write data to the origin, removing
the discard state. After the promotion the parallel write would have
been lost.
With this fix the discard status is re-checked once the exclusive lock
has been aquired. If the block is no longer discarded it falls back to
the slower full copy path.

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.

- Switch the DM verity target over to using the asynchronous hash
crypto API (this helps work better with architectures that have
access to off-CPU algorithm providers, which should reduce CPU
utilization).
- Various request-based DM and DM multipath fixes and improvements from
Bart and Christoph.
- A DM thinp target fix for a bio structure leak that occurs for each
discard IFF discard passdown is enabled.
- A fix for a possible deadlock in DM bufio and a fix to re-check the
new buffer allocation watermark in the face of competing admin
changes to the 'max_cache_size_bytes' tunable.
- A couple DM core cleanups.

dm bufio: check new buffer allocation watermark every 30 seconds
dm bufio: avoid a possible ABBA deadlock
dm mpath: make it easier to detect unintended I/O request flushes
dm mpath: cleanup QUEUE_IF_NO_PATH bit manipulation by introducing assign_bit()
dm mpath: micro-optimize the hot path relative to MPATHF_QUEUE_IF_NO_PATH
dm: introduce enum dm_queue_mode to cleanup related code
dm mpath: verify __pg_init_all_paths locking assumptions at runtime
dm: verify suspend_locking assumptions at runtime
dm block manager: remove an unused argument from dm_block_manager_create()
dm rq: check blk_mq_register_dev() return value in dm_mq_init_request_queue()
dm mpath: delay requeuing while path initialization is in progress
dm mpath: avoid that path removal can trigger an infinite loop
dm mpath: split and rename activate_path() to prepare for its expanded use
dm ioctl: prevent stack leak in dm ioctl call
dm integrity: use previously calculated log2 of sectors_per_block
dm integrity: use hex2bin instead of open-coded variant
dm crypt: replace custom implementation of hex2bin()
dm crypt: remove obsolete references to per-CPU state
dm verity: switch to using asynchronous hash crypto API
dm crypt: use WQ_HIGHPRI for the IO and crypt workqueues
...
Now that we use the proper REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES operation everywhere we can
kill this hack.

When loading metadata make sure to set/clear the dirty bits in the cache
core's dirty_bitset as well as the policy.
Otherwise the cache core is unaware that any blocks were dirty when the
cache was last shutdown. A very serious side-effect being that the
cleaner policy would therefore never be tasked with writing back dirty
data from a cache that was in writeback mode (e.g. when switching from
smq policy to cleaner policy when decommissioning a writeback cache).
This fixes a serious data corruption bug associated with writeback mode.

The cache policy interfaces have been updated to work well with the new
bio-prison v2 interface's ability to queue work immediately (promotion,
demotion, etc) -- overriding benefit being reduced latency on processing
IO through the cache. Previously such work would be left for the DM
cache core to queue on various lists and then process in batches later
-- this caused a serious delay in latency for IO driven by the cache.
The background tracker code was factored out so that all cache policies
can make use of it.
Also, the "cleaner" policy has been removed and is now a variant of the
smq policy that simply disallows migrations.

The deferred set is gone and all methods have _v2 appended to the end of
their names to allow for continued use of the original bio prison in DM
thin-provisioning.

tweaks.
- Add journal support to the DM raid target to close the 'write hole' on
raid 4/5/6.
- Fix dm-cache corruption, due to rounding bug, when cache exceeds 2TB.
- Add 'metadata2' feature to dm-cache to separate the dirty bitset out
from other cache metadata. This improves speed of shutting down
a large cache device (which implies writing out dirty bits).
- Fix a memory leak during dm-stats data structure destruction.
- Fix a DM multipath round-robin path selector performance regression
that was caused by less precise balancing across all paths.
- Lastly, introduce a DM core fix for a long-standing DM snapshot
deadlock that is rooted in the complexity of the device stack used in
conjunction with block core maintaining bios on current->bio_list to
manage recursion in generic_make_request(). A more comprehensive fix
to block core (and its hook in the cpu scheduler) would be wonderful
but this DM-specific fix is pragmatic considering how difficult it has
been to make progress on a generic fix.
