Patch series "revert shrinker_srcu related changes".
This patch (of 7):
This reverts commit cf2e309ebc.
Kernel test robot reports -88.8% regression in stress-ng.ramfs.ops_per_sec
test case [1], which is caused by commit f95bdb700b ("mm: vmscan: make
global slab shrink lockless"). The root cause is that SRCU has to be
careful to not frequently check for SRCU read-side critical section exits.
Therefore, even if no one is currently in the SRCU read-side critical
section, synchronize_srcu() cannot return quickly. That's why
unregister_shrinker() has become slower.
After discussion, we will try to use the refcount+RCU method [2] proposed
by Dave Chinner to continue to re-implement the lockless slab shrink. So
revert the shrinker_mutex back to shrinker_rwsem first.

Commit fd2fa9541 ("dm cache metadata: save in-core policy_hint_size to
on-disk superblock") enabled previously written policy hints to be
used after a cache is reactivated. But in doing so the cache
metadata's hint array was left exposed to out of bounds access because
on resize the metadata's on-disk hint array wasn't ever extended.
Fix this by ignoring that there are no on-disk hints associated with the
newly added cache blocks. An expanded on-disk hint array is later
rewritten upon the next clean shutdown of the cache.

Quoting Documentation/device-mapper/cache.txt:
The 'dirty' state for a cache block changes far too frequently for us
to keep updating it on the fly. So we treat it as a hint. In normal
operation it will be written when the dm device is suspended. If the
system crashes all cache blocks will be assumed dirty when restarted.
This got broken in commit f177940a80 ("dm cache metadata: switch to
using the new cursor api for loading metadata") in 4.9, which removed
the code that consulted cmd->clean_when_opened (CLEAN_SHUTDOWN on-disk
flag) when loading cache blocks. This results in data corruption on an
unclean shutdown with dirty cache blocks on the fast device. After the
crash those blocks are considered clean and may get evicted from the
cache at any time. This can be demonstrated by doing a lot of reads
to trigger individual evictions, but uncache is more predictable:
### Disable auto-activation in lvm.conf to be able to do uncache in
### time (i.e. see uncache doing flushing) when the fix is applied.

policy_hint_size starts as 0 during __write_initial_superblock(). It
isn't until the policy is loaded that policy_hint_size is set in-core
(cmd->policy_hint_size). But it never got recorded in the on-disk
superblock because __commit_transaction() didn't deal with transfering
the in-core cmd->policy_hint_size to the on-disk superblock.
The in-core cmd->policy_hint_size gets initialized by metadata_open()'s
__begin_transaction_flags() which re-reads all superblock fields.
Because the superblock's policy_hint_size was never properly stored, when
the cache was created, hints_array_available() would always return false
when re-activating a previously created cache. This means
__load_mappings() always considered the hints invalid and never made use
of the hints (these hints served to optimize).
Another detremental side-effect of this oversight is the cache_check
utility would fail with: "invalid hint width: 0"

atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference
counters with the following properties:
- counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set()
- a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero
- once counter reaches zero, its further
increments aren't allowed
- counter schema uses basic atomic operations
(set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.)
Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided
refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows
and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows
can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable.
The variable dm_cache_metadata.ref_count is used as pure reference counter.
Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations.

whether blocks should migrate to/from the cache. The bio-prison-v2
interface supports this improvement by enabling direct dispatch of
work to workqueues rather than having to delay the actual work
dispatch to the DM cache core. So the dm-cache policies are much more

benefit from the improved latency is a cache that should be much more
adaptive to changing workloads.

If the CLEAN_SHUTDOWN flag is not set when a cache is loaded then all cache
blocks are marked as dirty and a full writeback occurs.
__commit_transaction() is responsible for setting/clearing
CLEAN_SHUTDOWN (based the flags_mutator that is passed in).
Fix this issue, of the cache's on-disk flags being wrong, by making sure
__commit_transaction() does not reset the flags after the mutator has
altered the flags in preparation for them being serialized to disk.
before:
sb_flags = mutator(le32_to_cpu(disk_super->flags));
disk_super->flags = cpu_to_le32(sb_flags);

If a cache metadata operation fails (e.g. transaction commit) the
cache's metadata device will abort the current transaction, set a new
needs_check flag, and the cache will transition to "read-only" mode. If
aborting the transaction or setting the needs_check flag fails the cache
will transition to "fail-io" mode.
Once needs_check is set the cache device will not be allowed to
activate. Activation requires write access to metadata. Future work is
needed to add proper support for running the cache in read-only mode.
Once in fail-io mode the cache will report a status of "Fail".
Also, add commit() wrapper that will disallow commits if in read_only or
fail mode.

suspended (normal procedure for LVM2), then there will be two dm-bufio
objects that can diverge. This can lead to a situation where the
inactive table uses bufio to read metadata at the same time the active
table writes metadata -- resulting in the inactive table having stale
metadata buffers once it is promoted to the active table slot.
Fix this by using reference counting and a global list of cache metadata
objects to ensure there is only one metadata object per metadata device.

This reverts commit 64ab346a36 because we
actually do want to allow the discard blocksize to be larger than the
cache blocksize. Further dm-cache discard changes will make this
possible.

Commit 7d48935e cleaned up the persistent-data's space-map-metadata
limits by elevating them to dm-space-map-metadata.h. Update
dm-cache-metadata to use these same limits.
The calculation for DM_CACHE_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS didn't account for the
sizeof the disk_bitmap_header. So the supported maximum metadata size
is a bit smaller (reduced from 33423360 to 33292800 sectors).

When suspending a cache the policy is walked and the individual policy
hints written to the metadata via sync_metadata(). This led to this
lock order:
policy->lock
cache_metadata->root_lock
When loading the cache target the policy is populated while the metadata
lock is held:
cache_metadata->root_lock
policy->lock
Fix this potential lock-inversion (ABBA) deadlock in sync_metadata() by
ensuring the cache_metadata root_lock is held whilst all the hints are
written, rather than being repeatedly locked while policy->lock is held
(as was the case with each callout that policy_walk_mappings() made to
the old save_hint() method).
Found by turning on the CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING ("Lock debugging: prove
locking correctness") build option. However, it is not clear how the
LOCKDEP reported paths can lead to a deadlock since the two paths,
suspending a target and loading a target, never occur at the same time.
But that doesn't mean the same lock-inversion couldn't have occurred
elsewhere.

In theory copying the space map root can fail, but in practice it never
does because we're careful to check what size buffer is needed.
But make certain we're able to copy the space map roots before
locking the superblock.

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # drop dm-era and dm-cache changes as needed
The persistent-data library used by dm-thin, dm-cache, etc is
transactional. If anything goes wrong, such as an io error when writing
new metadata or a power failure, then we roll back to the last
transaction.
Atomicity when committing a transaction is achieved by:
a) Never overwriting data from the previous transaction.
b) Writing the superblock last, after all other metadata has hit the
disk.
This commit and the following commit ("dm: take care to copy the space
map roots before locking the superblock") fix a bug associated with (b).
When committing it was possible for the superblock to still be written
in spite of an io error occurring during the preceeding metadata flush.
With these commits we're careful not to take the write lock out on the
superblock until after the metadata flush has completed.
Change the transaction manager's semantics for dm_tm_commit() to assume
all data has been flushed _before_ the single superblock that is passed
in.
As a prerequisite, split the block manager's block unlocking and
flushing by simplifying dm_bm_flush_and_unlock() to dm_bm_flush(). Now
the unlocking must be done separately.
This issue was discovered by forcing io errors at the crucial time
using dm-flakey.

Discard block size not being equal to cache block size causes data
corruption by erroneously avoiding migrations in issue_copy() because
the discard state is being cleared for a group of cache blocks when it
should not.
Completely remove all code that enabled a distinction between the
cache block size and discard block size.

"Passthrough" is a dm-cache operating mode (like writethrough or
writeback) which is intended to be used when the cache contents are not
known to be coherent with the origin device. It behaves as follows:
* All reads are served from the origin device (all reads miss the cache)
* All writes are forwarded to the origin device; additionally, write
hits cause cache block invalidates
This mode decouples cache coherency checks from cache device creation,
largely to avoid having to perform coherency checks while booting. Boot
scripts can create cache devices in passthrough mode and put them into
service (mount cached filesystems, for example) without having to worry
about coherency. Coherency that exists is maintained, although the
cache will gradually cool as writes take place.
Later, applications can perform coherency checks, the nature of which
will depend on the type of the underlying storage. If coherency can be
verified, the cache device can be transitioned to writethrough or
writeback mode while still warm; otherwise, the cache contents can be
discarded prior to transitioning to the desired operating mode.
