86bad0c707 dm bufio: store stacktrace in buffers to help find buffer leaks
The option DM_DEBUG_BLOCK_STACK_TRACING is moved from persistent-data
directory to device mapper directory because it will now be used by
persistent-data and bufio.  When the option is enabled, each bufio buffer
stores the stacktrace of the last dm_bufio_get(), dm_bufio_read() or
dm_bufio_new() call that increased the hold count to 1.  The buffer's
stacktrace is printed if the buffer was not released before the bufio
client is destroyed.

When DM_DEBUG_BLOCK_STACK_TRACING is enabled, any bufio buffer leaks are
considered warnings - i.e. the kernel continues afterwards.  If not
enabled, buffer leaks are considered BUGs and the kernel with crash.
Reasoning on this disposition is: if we only ever warned on buffer leaks
users would generally ignore them and the problematic code would never
get fixed.

Successfully used to find source of bufio leaks fixed with commit
fce079f63c3 ("dm btree: fix bufio buffer leaks in dm_btree_del() error
path").

f98c8f7970 dm bufio: return NULL to improve code clarity
A small code cleanup in new_read() - return NULL instead of b (although
b is NULL at this point).  This function is not returning pointer to the
buffer, it is returning a pointer to the bufffer's data, thus it makes
no sense to return the variable b.

a3d939ae7b dm: convert ffs to __ffs
ffs counts bit starting with 1 (for the least significant bit), __ffs
counts bits starting with 0. This patch changes various occurrences of ffs
to __ffs and removes subtraction of 1 from the result.

Note that __ffs (unlike ffs) is not defined when called with zero
argument, but it is not called with zero argument in any of these cases.

Remove DM's unneeded NULL tests before calling these destroy functions,
now that they check for NULL, thanks to these v4.3 commits:
3942d2991 ("mm/slab_common: allow NULL cache pointer in kmem_cache_destroy()")

4246a0b63b block: add a bi_error field to struct bio
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.

140dfc9299 - Significant DM thin-provisioning performance improvements to meet
performance requirements that were requested by the Gluster
   distributed filesystem.  Specifically, dm-thinp now takes care to
   aggregate IO that will be issued to the same thinp block before
   issuing IO to the underlying devices.  This really helps improve
   performance on HW RAID6 devices that have a writeback cache because it
   avoids RMW in the HW RAID controller.
 
 - Some stable fixes: fix leak in DM bufio if integrity profiles were
   enabled, use memzero_explicit in DM crypt to avoid any potential for
   information leak, and a DM cache fix to properly mark a cache block
   dirty if it was promoted to the cache via the overwrite optimization.
 
 - A few simple DM persistent data library fixes
 
 - DM cache multiqueue policy block promotion improvements.
 
 - DM cache discard improvements that take advantage of range
   (multiblock) discard support in the DM bio-prison.  This allows for
   much more efficient bulk discard processing (e.g. when mkfs.xfs
   discards the entire device).
 
 - Some small optimizations in DM core and RCU deference cleanups
 
 - DM core changes to suspend/resume code to introduce the new internal
   suspend/resume interface that the DM thin-pool target now uses to
   suspend/resume active thin devices when the thin-pool must
   suspend/resume.  This avoids forcing userspace to track all active
   thin volumes in a thin-pool when the thin-pool is suspended for the
   purposes of metadata or data space resize.

445559cdcb dm bufio: fix memleak when using a dm_buffer's inline bio
When dm-bufio sets out to use the bio built into a struct dm_buffer to
issue an IO, it needs to call bio_reset after it's done with the bio
so that we can free things attached to the bio such as the integrity
payload.  Therefore, inject our own endio callback to take care of
the bio_reset after calling submit_io's end_io callback.

Test case:
1. modprobe scsi_debug delay=0 dif=1 dix=199 ato=1 dev_size_mb=300
2. Set up a dm-bufio client, e.g. dm-verity, on the scsi_debug device
3. Repeatedly read metadata and watch kmalloc-192 leak!

33096a7822 dm bufio: evict buffers that are past the max age but retain some buffers
These changes help keep metadata backed by dm-bufio in-core longer which
fixes reports of metadata churn in the face of heavy random IO workloads.

Before, bufio evicted all buffers older than DM_BUFIO_DEFAULT_AGE_SECS.
Having a device (e.g. dm-thinp or dm-cache) lose all metadata just
because associated buffers had been idle for some time is unfriendly.

Now, the user may now configure the number of bytes that bufio retains
using the 'retain_bytes' module parameter.  The default is 256K.

Also, the DM_BUFIO_WORK_TIMER_SECS and DM_BUFIO_DEFAULT_AGE_SECS
defaults were quite low so increase them (to 30 and 300 respectively).

9d28eb1244 dm bufio: change __GFP_IO to __GFP_FS in shrinker callbacks
The shrinker uses gfp flags to indicate what kind of operation can the
driver wait for. If __GFP_IO flag is present, the driver can wait for
block I/O operations, if __GFP_FS flag is present, the driver can wait on
operations involving the filesystem.

dm-bufio tested for __GFP_IO. However, dm-bufio can run on a loop block
device that makes calls into the filesystem. If __GFP_IO is present and
__GFP_FS isn't, dm-bufio could still block on filesystem operations if it
runs on a loop block device.

The change from __GFP_IO to __GFP_FS supposedly fixes one observed (though
unreproducible) deadlock involving dm-bufio and loop device.

0e825862f3 dm bufio: when done scanning return from __scan immediately
When __scan frees the required number of buffer entries that the
shrinker requested (nr_to_scan becomes zero) it must return.  Before
this fix the __scan code exited only the inner loop and continued in the
outer loop -- which could result in reduced performance due to extra
buffers being freed (e.g. unnecessarily evicted thinp metadata needing
to be synchronously re-read into bufio's cache).

Also, move dm_bufio_cond_resched to __scan's inner loop, so that
iterating the bufio client's lru lists doesn't result in scheduling
latency.

eb76faf53b dm bufio: update last_accessed when relinking a buffer
The 'last_accessed' member of the dm_buffer structure was only set when
the the buffer was created.  This led to each buffer being discarded
after dm_bufio_max_age time even if it was used recently.  In practice
this resulted in all thinp metadata being evicted soon after being read
-- this is particularly problematic for metadata intensive workloads
like multithreaded small random IO.

'last_accessed' is now updated each time the buffer is moved to the head
of the LRU list, so the buffer is now properly discarded if it was not
used in dm_bufio_max_age time.

d8c712ea47 dm bufio: fully initialize shrinker
1d3d4437ea ("vmscan: per-node deferred work") added a flags field to
struct shrinker assuming that all shrinkers were zero filled.  The dm
bufio shrinker is not zero filled, which leaves arbitrary kmalloc() data
in flags.  So far the only defined flags bit is SHRINKER_NUMA_AWARE.
But there are proposed patches which add other bits to shrinker.flags
(e.g. memcg awareness).

Rather than simply initializing the shrinker, this patch uses kzalloc()
when allocating the dm_bufio_client to ensure that the embedded shrinker
and any other similar structures are zeroed.

This fixes theoretical over aggressive shrinking of dm bufio objects.
If the uninitialized dm_bufio_client.shrinker.flags contains
SHRINKER_NUMA_AWARE then shrink_slab() would call the dm shrinker for
each numa node rather than just once.  This has been broken since 3.12.

743162013d sched: Remove proliferation of wait_on_bit() action functions
The current "wait_on_bit" interface requires an 'action'
function to be provided which does the actual waiting.
There are over 20 such functions, many of them identical.
Most cases can be satisfied by one of just two functions, one
which uses io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule().

So:
 Rename wait_on_bit and        wait_on_bit_lock to
        wait_on_bit_action and wait_on_bit_lock_action
 to make it explicit that they need an action function.

 Introduce new wait_on_bit{,_lock} and wait_on_bit{,_lock}_io
 which are *not* given an action function but implicitly use
 a standard one.
 The decision to error-out if a signal is pending is now made
 based on the 'mode' argument rather than being encoded in the action
 function.

 All instances of the old wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock which
 can use the new version have been changed accordingly and their
 action functions have been discarded.
 wait_on_bit{_lock} does not return any specific error code in the
 event of a signal so the caller must check for non-zero and
 interpolate their own error code as appropriate.

The wait_on_bit() call in __fscache_wait_on_invalidate() was
ambiguous as it specified TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE but used
fscache_wait_bit_interruptible as an action function.
David Howells confirms this should be uniformly
"uninterruptible"

The main remaining user of wait_on_bit{,_lock}_action is NFS
which needs to use a freezer-aware schedule() call.

A comment in fs/gfs2/glock.c notes that having multiple 'action'
functions is useful as they display differently in the 'wchan'
field of 'ps'. (and /proc/$PID/wchan).
As the new bit_wait{,_io} functions are tagged "__sched", they
will not show up at all, but something higher in the stack.  So
the distinction will still be visible, only with different
function names (gds2_glock_wait versus gfs2_glock_dq_wait in the
gfs2/glock.c case).

Since first version of this patch (against 3.15) two new action
functions appeared, on in NFS and one in CIFS.  CIFS also now
uses an action function that makes the same freezer aware
schedule call as NFS.

55b082e614 dm snapshot: use dm-bufio prefetch
This patch modifies dm-snapshot so that it prefetches the buffers when
loading the exceptions.

The number of buffers read ahead is specified in the DM_PREFETCH_CHUNKS
macro.  The current value for DM_PREFETCH_CHUNKS (12) was found to
provide the best performance on a single 15k SCSI spindle.  In the
future we may modify this default or make it configurable.

Also, introduce the function dm_bufio_set_minimum_buffers to setup
bufio's number of internal buffers before freeing happens.  dm-bufio may
hold more buffers if enough memory is available.  There is no guarantee
that the specified number of buffers will be available - if you need a
guarantee, use the argument reserved_buffers for
dm_bufio_client_create.

4cb57ab4a2 dm bufio: initialize read-only module parameters
Some module parameters in dm-bufio are read-only. These parameters
inform the user about memory consumption. They are not supposed to be
changed by the user.

However, despite being read-only, these parameters can be set on
modprobe or insmod command line, for example:
modprobe dm-bufio current_allocated_bytes=12345

The kernel doesn't expect that these variables can be non-zero at module
initialization and if the user sets them, it results in BUG.

This patch initializes the variables in the module init routine, so that
user-supplied values are ignored.

7dc19d5aff drivers: convert shrinkers to new count/scan API
Convert the driver shrinkers to the new API.  Most changes are compile
tested only because I either don't have the hardware or it's staging
stuff.

FWIW, the md and android code is pretty good, but the rest of it makes me
want to claw my eyes out.  The amount of broken code I just encountered is
mind boggling.  I've added comments explaining what is broken, but I fear
that some of the code would be best dealt with by being dragged behind the
bike shed, burying in mud up to it's neck and then run over repeatedly
with a blunt lawn mower.

Special mention goes to the zcache/zcache2 drivers.  They can't co-exist
in the build at the same time, they are under different menu options in
menuconfig, they only show up when you've got the right set of mm
subsystem options configured and so even compile testing is an exercise in
pulling teeth.  And that doesn't even take into account the horrible,
broken code...

502624bdad dm bufio: avoid a possible __vmalloc deadlock
This patch uses memalloc_noio_save to avoid a possible deadlock in
dm-bufio.  (it could happen only with large block size, at most
PAGE_SIZE << MAX_ORDER (typically 8MiB).

__vmalloc doesn't fully respect gfp flags. The specified gfp flags are
used for allocation of requested pages, structures vmap_area, vmap_block
and vm_struct and the radix tree nodes.

However, the kernel pagetables are allocated always with GFP_KERNEL.
Thus the allocation of pagetables can recurse back to the I/O layer and
cause a deadlock.

This patch uses the function memalloc_noio_save to set per-process
PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO flag and the function memalloc_noio_restore to restore
it. When this flag is set, all allocations in the process are done with
implied GFP_NOIO flag, thus the deadlock can't happen.

This should be backported to stable kernels, but they don't have the
PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO flag and memalloc_noio_save/memalloc_noio_restore
functions. So, PF_MEMALLOC should be set and restored instead.

3b6b7813b1 dm verity: avoid deadlock
A deadlock was found in the prefetch code in the dm verity map
function.  This patch fixes this by transferring the prefetch
to a worker thread and skipping it completely if kmalloc fails.

If generic_make_request is called recursively, it queues the I/O
request on the current->bio_list without making the I/O request
and returns. The routine making the recursive call cannot wait
for the I/O to complete.

The deadlock occurs when one thread grabs the bufio_client
mutex and waits for an I/O to complete but the I/O is queued
on another thread's current->bio_list and is waiting to get
the mutex held by the first thread.

The fix recognises that prefetching is not essential.  If memory
can be allocated, it queues the prefetch request to the worker thread,
but if not, it does nothing.

b67bfe0d42 hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived

        list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)

The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:

        hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)

Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.

Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:

 - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
 - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
 - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
 was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
 - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
 properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

fe5fe90639 dm: use ACCESS_ONCE for sysfs values
Use the ACCESS_ONCE macro in dm-bufio and dm-verity where a variable
can be modified asynchronously (through sysfs) and we want to prevent
compiler optimizations that assume that the variable hasn't changed.
(See Documentation/atomic_ops.txt.)

54499afbb8 dm bufio: use list_move
Use list_move() instead of list_del() + list_add().

spatch with a semantic match was used to find this.

a66cc28f53 dm bufio: prefetch
This patch introduces a new function dm_bufio_prefetch. It prefetches
the specified range of blocks into dm-bufio cache without waiting
for i/o completion.

ad075370ba dm-bufio.c: there's no need to include linux/version.h
As 'make versioncheck' points out, drivers/md/dm-bufio.c has no need to include
linux/version.h, so this patch removes the unneeded include.

95d402f057 dm: add bufio
The dm-bufio interface allows you to do cached I/O on devices,
holding recently-read blocks in memory and performing delayed writes.

We don't use buffer cache or page cache already present in the kernel, because:
* we need to handle block sizes larger than a page
* we can't allocate memory to perform reads or we'd have deadlocks

Currently, when a cache is required, we limit its size to a fraction of
available memory.  Usage can be viewed and changed in
/sys/module/dm_bufio/parameters/ .

The first user is thin provisioning, but more dm users are planned.
