This reverts commit 43aeaa2957.
Since commit 0bddd227f3 ("Documentation: update for gcc 4.9 requirement")
the minimum supported version of GCC is gcc-4.9. It's now safe to remove

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.

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

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

- Lastly, introduce a DM core fix for a long-standing DM snapshot

manage recursion in generic_make_request(). A more comprehensive fix
to block core (and its hook in the cpu scheduler) would be wonderful

Merge tag 'dm-4.11-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm
Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:
- Fix dm-raid transient device failure processing and other smaller
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.

dm: flush queued bios when process blocks to avoid deadlock
dm round robin: revert "use percpu 'repeat_count' and 'current_path'"
dm stats: fix a leaked s->histogram_boundaries array
dm space map metadata: constify dm_space_map structures
dm cache metadata: use cursor api in blocks_are_clean_separate_dirty()
dm persistent data: add cursor skip functions to the cursor APIs
dm cache metadata: use dm_bitset_new() to create the dirty bitset in format 2
dm bitset: add dm_bitset_new()
dm cache metadata: name the cache block that couldn't be loaded
dm cache metadata: add "metadata2" feature
dm cache metadata: use bitset cursor api to load discard bitset
dm bitset: introduce cursor api
dm btree: use GFP_NOFS in dm_btree_del()
dm space map common: memcpy the disk root to ensure it's arch aligned
dm block manager: add unlikely() annotations on dm_bufio error paths
dm cache: fix corruption seen when using cache > 2TB
dm raid: cleanup awkward branching in raid_message() option processing
dm raid: use mddev rather than rdev->mddev
dm raid: use read_disk_sb() throughout
dm raid: add raid4/5/6 journaling support
...
If "metadata2" is provided as a table argument when creating/loading a
cache target a more compact metadata format, with separate dirty bits,
is used. "metadata2" improves speed of shutting down a cache target.

A rounding bug due to compiler generated temporary being 32bit was found
in remap_to_cache(). A localized cast in remap_to_cache() fixes the
corruption but this preferred fix (changing from uint32_t to sector_t)
eliminates potential for future rounding errors elsewhere.

We will want to have struct backing_dev_info allocated separately from
struct request_queue. As the first step add pointer to backing_dev_info
to request_queue and convert all users touching it. No functional
changes in this patch.

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.

To avoid confusion between REQ_OP_FLUSH, which is handled by
request_fn drivers, and upper layers requesting the block layer
perform a flush sequence along with possibly a WRITE, this patch
renames REQ_FLUSH to REQ_PREFLUSH.

Otherwise operations may be attempted that will only ever go on to crash
(since the metadata device is either missing or unreliable if 'fail_io'
is set).
