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.

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

Fix this by accounting for the call to prealloc_data_structs()
immediately _before_ the call as opposed to after. This is needed
because it is possible to break out of the control loop after the call
to prealloc_data_structs() but before prealloc_used was set to true.

This reverts commit 386cb7cdee.
Taking the wake_worker() out of free_migration() will slow writeback
dramatically, and hence adaptability.
Say we have 10k blocks that need writing back, but are only able to
issue 5 concurrently due to the migration bandwidth: it's imperative
that we wake_worker() immediately after migration completion; waiting
for the next 1 second wake up (via do_waker) means it'll take a long
time to write that all back.

Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:
(1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
(2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback
The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.
So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

The policy tick() method is normally called from interrupt context.
Both the mq and smq policies do some bottom half work for the tick
method in their map functions. However if no IO is going through the
cache, then that bottom half work doesn't occur. With these policies
this means recently hit entries do not age and do not get written
back as early as we'd like.
Fix this by introducing a new 'can_block' parameter to the tick()
method. When this is set the bottom half work occurs immediately.
'can_block' is set when the tick method is called every second by the
core target (not in interrupt context).

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.

There is a race between a policy deciding to replace a cache entry,
the core target writing back any dirty data from this block, and other
IO threads doing IO to the same block.
This sort of problem is avoided most of the time by the core target
grabbing a bio prison cell before making the request to the policy.
But for a demotion the core target doesn't know which block will be
demoted, so can't do this in advance.

Commit c4cf5261 ("bio: skip atomic inc/dec of ->bi_remaining for
non-chains") regressed all existing callers that followed this pattern:
1) saving a bio's original bi_end_io
2) wiring up an intermediate bi_end_io
3) restoring the original bi_end_io from intermediate bi_end_io
4) calling bio_endio() to execute the restored original bi_end_io
The regression was due to BIO_CHAIN only ever getting set if
bio_inc_remaining() is called. For the above pattern it isn't set until
step 3 above (step 2 would've needed to establish BIO_CHAIN). As such
the first bio_endio(), in step 2 above, never decremented __bi_remaining
before calling the intermediate bi_end_io -- leaving __bi_remaining with
the value 1 instead of 0. When bio_inc_remaining() occurred during step
3 it brought it to a value of 2. When the second bio_endio() was
called, in step 4 above, it should've called the original bi_end_io but
it didn't because there was an extra reference that wasn't dropped (due
to atomic operations being optimized away since BIO_CHAIN wasn't set
upfront).
Fix this issue by removing the __bi_remaining management complexity for
all callers that use the above pattern -- bio_chain() is the only
interface that _needs_ to be concerned with __bi_remaining. For the
above pattern callers just expect the bi_end_io they set to get called!
Remove bio_endio_nodec() and also remove all bio_inc_remaining() calls
that aren't associated with the bio_chain() interface.
Also, the bio_inc_remaining() interface has been moved local to bio.c.

Struct bio has an atomic ref count for chained bio's, and we use this

ending IO.
Add a helper to elevate the bi_remaining count, and flag the bio as
now actually needing the decrement at end_io time. Rename the field
to __bi_remaining to catch any current users of this doing the
incrementing manually.
For high IOPS workloads, this reduces the overhead of bio_endio()

Introduce a new variable to count the number of allocated migration
structures. The existing variable cache->nr_migrations became
overloaded. It was used to:
i) track of the number of migrations in flight for the purposes of
quiescing during suspend.
ii) to estimate the amount of background IO occuring.
Recent discard changes meant that REQ_DISCARD bios are processed with
a migration. Discards are not background IO so nr_migrations was not
incremented. However this could cause quiescing to complete early.
(i) is now handled with a new variable cache->nr_allocated_migrations.
cache->nr_migrations has been renamed cache->nr_io_migrations.
cleanup_migration() is now called free_io_migration(), since it
decrements that variable.
Also, remove the unused cache->next_migration variable that got replaced

Safely allow the discard blocksize to be larger than the cache blocksize
by using the bio prison's range locking support. This also improves
discard performance considerly because larger discards are issued to the
dm-cache device. The discard blocksize was always intended to be
greater than the cache blocksize. But until now it wasn't implemented
safely.
Also, by safely restoring the ability to have discard blocksize larger
than cache blocksize we're able to significantly reduce the memory used
for the cache's discard bitset. Before, with a small discard blocksize,
the discard bitset could get quite large because its size is a function
of the discard blocksize and the origin device's size. For example,
previously, using a 32KB cache blocksize with a 40TB origin resulted in
1280MB of incore memory use for the discard bitset! Now, the discard
blocksize is scaled up accordingly to ensure the discard bitset is
capped at 2**14 bits, or 16KB.

When a writeback or a promotion of a block is completed, the cell of
that block is removed from the prison, the block is marked as clean, and
the clear_dirty() callback of the cache policy is called.
Unfortunately, performing those actions in this order allows an incoming
new write bio for that block to come in before clearing the dirty status
is completed and therefore possibly causing one of these two scenarios:
Scenario A:
Thread 1 Thread 2
cell_defer() .
- cell removed from prison .
- detained bios queued .
. incoming write bio
. remapped to cache
. set_dirty() called,
. but block already dirty
. => it does nothing
clear_dirty() .
- block marked clean .
- policy clear_dirty() called .
Result: Block is marked clean even though it is actually dirty. No
writeback will occur.
Scenario B:
Thread 1 Thread 2
cell_defer() .
- cell removed from prison .
- detained bios queued .
clear_dirty() .
- block marked clean .
. incoming write bio
. remapped to cache
. set_dirty() called
. - block marked dirty
. - policy set_dirty() called
- policy clear_dirty() called .
Result: Block is properly marked as dirty, but policy thinks it is clean
and therefore never asks us to writeback it.
This case is visible in "dmsetup status" dirty block count (which
normally decreases to 0 on a quiet device).
Fix these issues by calling clear_dirty() before calling cell_defer().
Incoming bios for that block will then be detained in the cell and
released only after clear_dirty() has completed, so the race will not
occur.
Found by inspecting the code after noticing spurious dirty counts
(scenario B).

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

Also limit the max_discard_sectors to cache_block_size.
A more comprehensive fix that introduces range locking support in the
bio_prison and proper quiescing of a discard range that spans multiple
cache blocks is already in development.

In order to avoid wasting cache space a partial block at the end of the
origin device is not cached. Unfortunately, the check for such a
partial block at the end of the origin device was flawed.
Fix accesses beyond the end of the origin device that occured due to
attempted promotion of an undetected partial block by:
- initializing the per bio data struct to allow cache_end_io to work properly
- recognizing access to the partial block at the end of the origin device
- avoiding out of bounds access to the discard bitset
Otherwise, users can experience errors like the following:
attempt to access beyond end of device
dm-5: rw=0, want=20971520, limit=20971456

During demotion or promotion to a cache's >2TB fast device we must not
truncate the cache block's associated sector to 32bits. The 32bit
temporary result of from_cblock() caused a 32bit multiplication when
calculating the sector of the fast device in issue_copy_real().
Use an intermediate 64bit type to store the 32bit from_cblock() to allow
for proper 64bit multiplication.
Here is an example of how this bug manifests on an ext4 filesystem:
EXT4-fs error (device dm-0): ext4_mb_generate_buddy:756: group 17136, 32768 clusters in bitmap, 30688 in gd; block bitmap corrupt.

When remapping a block to the cache's fast device that is larger than
2TB we must not truncate the destination sector to 32bits. The 32bit
temporary result of from_cblock() was being overflowed in
remap_to_cache() due to the logical left shift.
Use an intermediate 64bit type to store the 32bit from_cblock() result
to fix the overflow.

When completing an overwrite bio, in overwrite_endio(), the associated
migration should not be added to the 'completed_migrations' until the
bio's fields are restored with dm_unhook_bio().
Otherwise, do_worker() can race to process 'completed_migrations' before
dm_unhook_bio() -- so the bio's bi_end_io is incorrect. This is
unlikely to cause any problems given the current code but should be
fixed on the basis of correctness.
Also, the cache's spinlock only needs to be held when manipulating the
'completed_migrations' list -- other changes don't need protection.

Commit c9d28d5d ("dm cache: promotion optimisation for writes")
incorrectly placed the 'hook_info' member in the writethrough-only
portion of the per_bio_data structure.
Given that the overwrite optimization may be used for writeback the
'hook_info' member must be placed above the 'cache' member of the
per_bio_data structure. Any members above 'cache' are available from
both writeback and writethrough modes' per_bio_data structure.

Pull core block IO changes from Jens Axboe:
"The major piece in here is the immutable bio_ve series from Kent, the
rest is fairly minor. It was supposed to go in last round, but
various issues pushed it to this release instead. The pull request
contains:
- Various smaller blk-mq fixes from different folks. Nothing major
here, just minor fixes and cleanups.
- Fix for a memory leak in the error path in the block ioctl code
from Christian Engelmayer.
- Header export fix from CaiZhiyong.
- Finally the immutable biovec changes from Kent Overstreet. This
enables some nice future work on making arbitrarily sized bios
possible, and splitting more efficient. Related fixes to immutable

The cache's policy may have been established using the "default" alias,
which is currently the "mq" policy but the default policy may change in
the future. It is useful to know exactly which policy is being used.
Add a 'real' member to the dm_cache_policy_type structure and have the
"default" dm_cache_policy_type point to the real "mq"
dm_cache_policy_type. Update dm_cache_policy_get_name() to check if
real is set, if so report the name of the real policy (not the alias).

Improve cache_status to emit:
<metadata block size> <#used metadata blocks>/<#total metadata blocks>
<cache block size> <#used cache blocks>/<#total cache blocks>
...
Adding the block sizes allows for easier calculation of the overall size
of both the metadata and cache devices. Adding <#total cache blocks>
provides useful context for how much of the cache is used.
Unfortunately these additions to the status will require updates to
users' scripts that monitor the cache status. But these changes help
provide more comprehensive information about the cache device and will
simplify tools that are being developed to manage dm-cache devices --
because they won't need to issue 3 operations to cobble together the
information that we can easily provide via a single status ioctl.
While updating the status documentation in cache.txt spaces were
tabify'd.

Commit f494a9c6b1 ("dm cache: cache
shrinking support") broke cache resizing support.
dm_cache_resize() is called with cache->cache_size before it gets
updated to new_size, so it is a no-op. But the dm-cache superblock is
updated with the new_size even though the backing dm-array is not
resized. Fix this by passing the new_size to dm_cache_resize().

This adds a generic mechanism for chaining bio completions. This is
going to be used for a bio_split() replacement, and it turns out to be
very useful in a fair amount of driver code - a fair number of drivers
were implementing this in their own roundabout ways, often painfully.
Note that this means it's no longer to call bio_endio() more than once
on the same bio! This can cause problems for drivers that save/restore
bi_end_io. Arguably they shouldn't be saving/restoring bi_end_io at all
- in all but the simplest cases they'd be better off just cloning the
bio, and immutable biovecs is making bio cloning cheaper. But for now,
we add a bio_endio_nodec() for these cases.

Cache block invalidation is removing an entry from the cache without
writing it back. Cache blocks can be invalidated via the
'invalidate_cblocks' message, which takes an arbitrary number of cblock
ranges:
invalidate_cblocks [<cblock>|<cblock begin>-<cblock end>]*
E.g.
dmsetup message my_cache 0 invalidate_cblocks 2345 3456-4567 5678-6789

"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.
