Change mapped device to implement direct_access function,
dm_blk_direct_access(), which calls a target direct_access function.
'struct target_type' is extended to have target direct_access interface.
This function limits direct accessible size to the dm_target's limit
with max_io_len().
Add dm_table_supports_dax() to iterate all targets and associated block
devices to check for DAX support. To add DAX support to a DM target the
target must only implement the direct_access function.
Add a new dm type, DM_TYPE_DAX_BIO_BASED, which indicates that mapped
device supports DAX and is bio based. This new type is used to assure
that all target devices have DAX support and remain that way after
QUEUE_FLAG_DAX is set in mapped device.
At initial table load, QUEUE_FLAG_DAX is set to mapped device when setting
DM_TYPE_DAX_BIO_BASED to the type. Any subsequent table load to the
mapped device must have the same type, or else it fails per the check in
table_load().

Allow a user to specify an optional feature 'queue_mode <mode>' where
<mode> may be "bio", "rq" or "mq" -- which corresponds to bio-based,
request_fn rq-based, and blk-mq rq-based respectively.
If the queue_mode feature isn't specified the default for the
"multipath" target is still "rq" but if dm_mod.use_blk_mq is set to Y
it'll default to mode "mq".
This new queue_mode feature introduces the ability for each multipath
device to have its own queue_mode (whereas before this feature all
multipath devices effectively had to have the same queue_mode).
This commit also goes a long way to eliminate the awkward (ab)use of
DM_TYPE_*, the associated filter_md_type() and other relatively fragile

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.

Up until now the_integrity profile has been dynamically allocated and
attached to struct gendisk after the disk has been made active.
This causes problems because NVMe devices need to register the profile
prior to the partition table being read due to a mandatory metadata
buffer requirement. In addition, DM goes through hoops to deal with
preallocating, but not initializing integrity profiles.
Since the integrity profile is small (4 bytes + a pointer), Christoph
suggested moving it to struct gendisk proper. This requires several
changes:
- Moving the blk_integrity definition to genhd.h.
- Inlining blk_integrity in struct gendisk.
- Removing the dynamic allocation code.
- Adding helper functions which allow gendisk to set up and tear down
the integrity sysfs dir when a disk is added/deleted.
- Adding a blk_integrity_revalidate() callback for updating the stable
pages bdi setting.
- The calls that depend on whether a device has an integrity profile or
not now key off of the bi->profile pointer.
- Simplifying the integrity support routines in DM (Mike Snitzer).

This reverts commit 5f1b670d0b.
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:

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.

If a device is used as the root filesystem, it can't be built
off of devices which are within the root filesystem (just like
command line arguments to root=). For this reason, Linux has a
pseudo-filesystem for root= and MD initialization (based on the
function name_to_dev_t) which handles different ways of specifying
devices including PARTUUID and major:minor.
Switch to using name_to_dev_t() in dm_get_device(). Rather than
having DM assume that all things which are not major:minor are paths in
an already-mounted filesystem, change dm_get_device() to first attempt
to look up the device in the filesystem, and if not found it will fall
back to using name_to_dev_t().
In terms of backwards compatibility, there are some cases where
behavior will be different:
- If you have a file in the current working directory named 1:2 and
you initialze DM there, then it will try to use that file rather
than the disk with that major:minor pair as a backing device.
- Similarly for other bdev types which name_to_dev_t() knows how to
interpret, the previous behavior was to repeatedly check for the
existence of the file (e.g., while waiting for rootfs to come up)
but the new behavior is to use the name_to_dev_t() interpretation.
For example, if you have a file named /dev/ubiblock0_0 which is
a symlink to /dev/sda3, but it is not yet present when DM starts
to initialize, then the name_to_dev_t() interpretation will take
precedence.
These incompatibilities would only show up in really strange setups
with bad practices so we shouldn't have to worry about them.

Commit e5863d9ad ("dm: allocate requests in target when stacking on
blk-mq devices") served as the first step toward fully utilizing blk-mq
in request-based DM -- it enabled stacking an old-style (request_fn)
request_queue ontop of the underlying blk-mq device(s). That first step
didn't improve performance of DM multipath ontop of fast blk-mq devices
(e.g. NVMe) because the top-level old-style request_queue was severely
limited by the queue_lock.
The second step offered here enables stacking a blk-mq request_queue
ontop of the underlying blk-mq device(s). This unlocks significant
performance gains on fast blk-mq devices, Keith Busch tested on his NVMe
testbed and offered this really positive news:
"Just providing a performance update. All my fio tests are getting
roughly equal performance whether accessed through the raw block
device or the multipath device mapper (~470k IOPS). I could only push
~20% of the raw iops through dm before this conversion, so this latest
tree is looking really solid from a performance standpoint."

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.

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.

Commit 05f1dd5 ("block: add queue flag for disabling SG merging")
introduced a new queue flag: QUEUE_FLAG_NO_SG_MERGE. This gets set by
default in blk_mq_init_queue for mq-enabled devices. The effect of
the flag is to bypass the SG segment merging. Instead, the
bio->bi_vcnt is used as the number of hardware segments.
With a device mapper target on top of a device with
QUEUE_FLAG_NO_SG_MERGE set, we can end up sending down more segments
than a driver is prepared to handle. I ran into this when backporting
the virtio_blk mq support. It triggerred this BUG_ON, in
virtio_queue_rq:
BUG_ON(req->nr_phys_segments + 2 > vblk->sg_elems);
The queue's max is set here:
blk_queue_max_segments(q, vblk->sg_elems-2);
Basically, what happens is that a bio is built up for the dm device
(which does not have the QUEUE_FLAG_NO_SG_MERGE flag set) using
bio_add_page. That path will call into __blk_recalc_rq_segments, so
what you end up with is bi_phys_segments being much smaller than bi_vcnt
(and bi_vcnt grows beyond the maximum sg elements). Then, when the bio
is submitted, it gets cloned. When the cloned bio is submitted, it will
end up in blk_recount_segments, here:
if (test_bit(QUEUE_FLAG_NO_SG_MERGE, &q->queue_flags))
bio->bi_phys_segments = bio->bi_vcnt;
and now we've set bio->bi_phys_segments to a number that is beyond what
was registered as queue_max_segments by the driver.
The right way to fix this is to propagate the queue flag up the stack.
The rules for propagating the flag are simple:
- if the flag is set for any underlying device, it must be set for the
upper device
- consequently, if the flag is not set for any underlying device, it
should not be set for the upper device.

A device mapper table is allocated in the following way:
* The function dm_table_create is called, it gets the number of targets
as an argument -- it allocates a targets array accordingly.
* For each target, we call dm_table_add_target.
If we add more targets than were specified in dm_table_create, the
function dm_table_add_target reallocates the targets array. However,
this reallocation code is wrong - it moves the targets array to a new
location, while some target constructors hold pointers to the array in
the old location.
The following DM target drivers save the pointer to the target
structure, so they corrupt memory if the target array is moved:
multipath, raid, mirror, snapshot, stripe, switch, thin, verity.
Under normal circumstances, the reallocation function is not called
(because dm_table_create is called with the correct number of targets),
so the buggy reallocation code is not used.
Prior to the fix "dm table: fail dm_table_create on dm_round_up

Introduce a field per_bio_data_size in struct dm_target.
Targets can set this field in the constructor. If a target sets this
field to a non-zero value, "per_bio_data_size" bytes of auxiliary data
are allocated for each bio submitted to the target. These data can be
used for any purpose by the target and help us improve performance by
removing some per-target mempools.
Per-bio data is accessed with dm_per_bio_data. The
argument data_size must be the same as the value per_bio_data_size in
dm_target.
If the target has a pointer to per_bio_data, it can get a pointer to
the bio with dm_bio_from_per_bio_data() function (data_size must be the
same as the value passed to dm_per_bio_data).

Allow targets to opt in to WRITE SAME support by setting
'num_write_same_requests' in the dm_target structure.
A dm device will only advertise WRITE SAME support if all its
targets and all its underlying devices support it.

WRITE SAME bios are not yet handled correctly by device-mapper so
disable their use on device-mapper devices by setting
max_write_same_sectors to zero.
As an example, a ciphertext device is incompatible because the data
gets changed according to the location at which it written and so the
dm crypt target cannot support it.

Add a safety net that will re-use the DM device's existing limits in the
event that DM device has a temporary table that doesn't have any
component devices. This is to reduce the chance that requests not
respecting the hardware limits will reach the device.
DM recalculates queue limits based only on devices which currently exist
in the table. This creates a problem in the event all devices are
temporarily removed such as all paths being lost in multipath. DM will
reset the limits to the maximum permissible, which can then assemble
requests which exceed the limits of the paths when the paths are
restored. The request will fail the blk_rq_check_limits() test when
sent to a path with lower limits, and will be retried without end by
multipath. This became a much bigger issue after v3.6 commit fe86cdcef
("block: do not artificially constrain max_sectors for stacking
drivers").

Always clear QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM if any underlying device does not
have it set. Otherwise devices with predictable characteristics may
contribute entropy.
QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM specifies whether or not queue IO timings
contribute to the random pool.
For bio-based targets this flag is always 0 because such devices have no
real queue.
For request-based devices this flag was always set to 1 by default.
Now set it according to the flags on underlying devices. If there is at
least one device which should not contribute, set the flag to zero: If a
device, such as fast SSD storage, is not suitable for supplying entropy,
a request-based queue stacked over it will not be either.
Because the checking logic is exactly same as for the rotational flag,
share the iteration function with device_is_nonrot().
