If dm-mpath encounters an reservation conflict it should not fail the
path (as communication with the target is not affected) but should
rather retry on another path. However, in doing so we might be inducing
a ping-pong between paths, with no guarantee of any forward progress.
And arguably a reservation conflict is an unexpected error, so we should
be passing it upwards to allow the application to take appropriate
steps.
This change resolves a show-stopper problem seen with the pNFS SCSI
layout because it is trivial to hit reservation conflict based failover
loops without it.
Doubts were raised about the implications of this change relative to
products like IBM's SVC. But there is little point withholding a fix
for Linux because a proprietary product may or may not have some issues
in its implementation of how it interfaces with Linux. In the future,
if there is glaring evidence that this change is certainly problematic
we can revisit it.

Return DM_MAPIO_DELAY_REQUEUE from .clone_and_map_rq. Also, return
false from .busy, if all paths are down, so that blk-mq requests get

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

Add "multipath-bio" target that offers a bio-based multipath target as
an alternative to the request-based "multipath" target -- but in a
following commit "multipath-bio" will immediately be replaced by a new
"queue_mode" feature for the "multipath" target which will allow
bio-based mode to be selected.
When DM multipath was originally converted from bio-based to
request-based the motivation for the change was better dynamic load
balancing (by leveraging block core's request-based IO schedulers, for
merging and sorting, _before_ DM multipath would make the decision on
where to steer the IO -- based on path load and/or availability).
More background is available in this "Request-based Device-mapper
multipath and Dynamic load balancing" paper:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/ols/2007/ols2007v2-pages-235-244.pdf
But we've now come full circle where significantly faster storage
devices no longer need IOs to be made larger to drive optimal IO
performance. And even if they do there have been changes to the block
and filesystem layers that help ensure upper layers are constructing
larger IOs. In addition, SCSI's differentiated IO errors will propagate
through to bio-based IO completion hooks -- so that eliminates another
historic justiciation for request-based DM multipath. Lastly, the block
layer's immutable biovec changes have made bio cloning cheaper than it
has ever been; whereas request cloning is still relatively expensive
(both on a CPU usage and memory footprint level).
As such, bio-based DM multipath offers the promise of a more efficient
IO path for high IOPs devices that are, or will be, emerging.

The primary motivation of this commit is to improve the scalability of
DM multipath on large NUMA systems where m->lock spinlock contention has
been proven to be a serious bottleneck on really fast storage.
The ability to atomically read a pointer, using lockless_dereference(),
is leveraged in this commit. But all pointer writes are still protected
by the m->lock spinlock (which is fine since these all now occur in the
slow-path).
The following functions no longer require the m->lock spinlock in their
fast-path: multipath_busy(), __multipath_map(), and do_end_io()
And choose_pgpath() is modified to _not_ update m->current_pgpath unless
it also switches the path-group. This is done to avoid needing to take
the m->lock everytime __multipath_map() calls choose_pgpath().
But m->current_pgpath will be reset if it is failed via fail_path().

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.

In multipath_prepare_ioctl(),
- pgpath is a path selected from available paths
- m->queue_io is true if we cannot send a request immediately to
paths, either because:
* there is no available path
* the path group needs activation (pg_init)
- pg_init is not started
- pg_init is still running
- m->queue_if_no_path is true if the device is configured to queue
I/O if there are no available paths
If !pgpath && !m->queue_if_no_path, the handler should return -EIO.
However in the course of refactoring the condition check has broken
and returns success in that case. Since bdev points to the dm device
itself, dm_blk_ioctl() calls __blk_dev_driver_ioctl() for itself and
recurses until crash.

# sg_inq /dev/mapper/mp

dm-mpath retries ioctl, when no path is readily available and the device
is configured to queue I/O in such a case. If you want to stop the retry
before multipathd decides to turn off queueing mode, you could send
signal for the process to exit from the loop.
However the check of fatal signal has not carried along when commit
6c182cd88d ("dm mpath: fix ioctl deadlock when no paths") moved the
loop from dm-mpath to dm core. As a result, we can't terminate such
a process in the retry loop.
Easy reproducer of the situation is:
# dmsetup create mp --table '0 1024 multipath 0 0 0 0'
# dmsetup message mp 0 'queue_if_no_path'
# sg_inq /dev/mapper/mp

This reverts commit a1989b3300.
That commit introduced a regression at least for the case of the SG_IO ioctl()
running without CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability (e.g., unprivileged users) when there
are no active paths: the ioctl() fails with the ENOTTY errno immediately rather
than blocking due to queue_if_no_path until a path becomes active, for example.
That case happens to be exercised by QEMU KVM guests with 'scsi-block' devices
(qemu "-device scsi-block" [1], libvirt "<disk type='block' device='lun'>" [2])
from multipath devices; which leads to SCSI/filesystem errors in such a guest.
More general scenarios can hit that regression too. The following demonstration
employs a SG_IO ioctl() with a standard SCSI INQUIRY command for this objective
(some output & user changes omitted for brevity and comments added for clarity).
Reverting that commit restores normal operation (queueing) in failing scenarios;
tested on linux-next (next-20151022).
1) Test-case is based on sg_simple0 [3] (just SG_IO; remove SG_GET_VERSION_NUM)

... see [3] ...
$ sed '/SG_GET_VERSION_NUM/,/}/d' sg_simple0.c > sgio_inquiry.c
$ gcc sgio_inquiry.c -o sgio_inquiry
2) The ioctl() works fine with active paths present.

dm_mq_queue_rq() is in atomic context so care must be taken to not
sleep -- as such GFP_ATOMIC is used for the md->bs bioset allocations
and dm-mpath's call to blk_get_request(). In the future the bioset
allocations will hopefully go away (by removing support for partial
completions of bios in a cloned request).
Also prepare for supporting DM blk-mq ontop of old-style request_fn

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.

Switch to having request-based DM enqueue all prep'ed requests into work
processed by another thread. This allows request-based DM to invoke
block APIs that assume interrupt enabled context (e.g. blk_get_request)
and is a prerequisite for adding blk-mq support to request-based DM.
The new kernel thread is only initialized for request-based DM devices.
multipath_map() is now always in irq enabled context so change multipath
spinlock (m->lock) locking to always disable interrupts.

'queue_io' is set so that IO is queued while paths are being
initialized. Clear queue_io in __choose_pgpath if there are no valid
paths, since there are obviously no paths that can be initialized.
Otherwise IOs to the device will back up.

pg_ready() is not comprehensive in its logic and only serves to
obfuscate code. Replace pg_ready() with the appropriate logic in
multipath_map().

Commit e80991773 ("dm mpath: push back requests instead of queueing")
modified multipath_busy() to return true if !pg_ready(). pg_ready()
checks the current state of the multipath device and may return false
even if a new IO is needed to change the state.
Bart Van Assche reported that he had multipath IO lockup when he was
performing cable pull tests. Analysis showed that the multipath
device had a single path group with both paths active, but that the
path group itself was not active. During the multipath device state
transitions 'queue_io' got set but nothing could clear it. Clearing
'queue_io' only happens in __choose_pgpath(), but it won't be called
if multipath_busy() returns true due to pg_ready() returning false
when 'queue_io' is set.
As such the !pg_ready() check in multipath_busy() is wrong because new
IO will not be sent to multipath target and the multipath state change
won't happen. That results in multipath IO lockup.
The intent of multipath_busy() is to avoid unnecessary cycles of
dequeue + request_fn + requeue if it is known that the multipath
device will requeue.
Such "busy" situations would be:
- path group is being activated
- there is no path and the multipath is setup to requeue if no path
Fix multipath_busy() to return "busy" early only for these specific
situations.
