1) Introduce DM_TARGET_ZONED_HM feature flag:
The target drivers currently available will not operate correctly if a
table target maps onto a host-managed zoned block device.
To avoid problems, introduce the new feature flag DM_TARGET_ZONED_HM to
allow a target to explicitly state that it supports host-managed zoned
block devices. This feature is checked for all targets in a table if
any of the table's block devices are host-managed.
Note that as host-aware zoned block devices are backward compatible with
regular block devices, they can be used by any of the current target
types. This new feature is thus restricted to host-managed zoned block
devices.
2) Check device area zone alignment:
If a target maps to a zoned block device, check that the device area is
aligned on zone boundaries to avoid problems with REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET
operations (resetting a partially mapped sequential zone would not be
possible). This also facilitates the processing of zone report with
REQ_OP_ZONE_REPORT bios.
3) Check block devices zone model compatibility
When setting the DM device's queue limits, several possibilities exists
for zoned block devices:
1) The DM target driver may want to expose a different zone model
(e.g. host-managed device emulation or regular block device on top of
host-managed zoned block devices)
2) Expose the underlying zone model of the devices as-is
To allow both cases, the underlying block device zone model must be set
in the target limits in dm_set_device_limits() and the compatibility of
all devices checked similarly to the logical block size alignment. For
this last check, introduce validate_hardware_zoned_model() to check that
all targets of a table have the same zone model and that the zone size
of the target devices are equal.

A dm-crypt on dm-integrity device incorrectly advertises an integrity
profile on the DM crypt device. It can be seen in the files
"/sys/block/dm-*/integrity/*" that both dm-integrity and dm-crypt target
advertise the integrity profile. That is incorrect, only the
dm-integrity target should advertise the integrity profile.
A general problem in DM is that if we have a DM device that depends on
another device with an integrity profile, the upper device will always
advertise the integrity profile, even when the target driver doesn't
support handling integrity data.
Most targets don't support integrity data, so we provide a whitelist of
targets that support it (linear, delay and striped). The targets that
support passing integrity data to the lower device are marked with the
flag DM_TARGET_PASSES_INTEGRITY. The DM core will now advertise
integrity data on a DM device only if all the targets support the
integrity data.

Allow a user to specify an optional feature 'queue_mode <mode>' where

This new queue_mode feature introduces the ability for each multipath

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

to even take the read-side of the SRCU via dm_{get,put}_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).

requirement. If the assumption is ever broken, the inconsistency between
request and bio (e.g. rq->__sector and rq->bio) will cause silent data

Currently dm-multipath has to clone the bios for every request sent

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.

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

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.
