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
DM_TYPE_*, the associated filter_md_type() and other relatively fragile
and difficult to maintain code.

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.

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.

# 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)
$ cat sg_simple0.c
... 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.

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.

Add DM core support for disabling WRITE SAME on first failure to both
request-based and bio-based targets. The need to disable WRITE SAME
stems from SCSI enabling it by default but then disabling it when it
fails. When SCSI does this it returns "permanent target failure, do
not retry" using -EREMOTEIO. Update DM core to only disable WRITE SAME
on failure if the returned error is -EREMOTEIO.
Commit f84cb8a4 ("dm mpath: disable WRITE SAME if it fails")
implemented multipath specific disabling of WRITE SAME if it fails.
However, as that commit detailed, the multipath-only solution doesn't go
far enough if bio-based DM targets are stacked ontop of the

process_queued_ios() has served 3 functions:
1) select pg and pgpath if none is selected
2) start pg_init if requested
3) dispatch queued IOs when pg is ready
Basically, a call to queue_work(process_queued_ios) can be replaced by
dm_table_run_md_queue_async(), which runs request queue and ends up
calling map_io(), which does 1), 2) and 3).
Exception is when !pg_ready() (which means either pg_init is running or
requested), then multipath_busy() prevents map_io() being called from
request_fn.
If pg_init is running, it should be ok as long as pg_init_done() does
the right thing when pg_init is completed, I.e.: restart pg_init if
!pg_ready() or call dm_table_run_md_queue_async() to kick map_io().
If pg_init is requested, we have to make sure the request is detected
and pg_init will be started. pg_init is requested in 3 places:
a) __choose_pgpath() in map_io()
b) __choose_pgpath() in multipath_ioctl()
c) pg_init retry in pg_init_done()
a) is ok because map_io() calls __pg_init_all_paths(), which does 2).
b) needs a call to __pg_init_all_paths(), which does 2).
c) needs a call to __pg_init_all_paths(), which does 2).
So this patch removes process_queued_ios() and ensures that
__pg_init_all_paths() is called at the appropriate locations.

There is no reason why multipath needs to queue requests internally for
queue_if_no_path or pg_init; we should rather push them back onto the
request queue.
And while we're at it we can simplify the conditional statement in
map_io() to make it easier to read.
Since mpath no longer does internal queuing of I/O the table info no
longer emits the internal queue_size. Instead it displays 1 if queuing
is being used or 0 if it is not.

When pg_init is running no I/O can be submitted to the underlying
devices, as the path priority etc might change. When using queue_io for
this, requests will be piling up within multipath as the block I/O
scheduler just sees a _very fast_ device. All of this queued I/O has to
be resubmitted from within multipathing once pg_init is done.
This approach has the problem that it's virtually impossible to
abort I/O when pg_init is running, and we're adding heavy load
to the devices after pg_init since all of the queued I/O needs to be
resubmitted _before_ any requests can be pulled off of the request queue
and normal operation continues.
This patch will requeue the I/O that triggers the pg_init call, and
return 'busy' when pg_init is in progress. With these changes the block
I/O scheduler will stop submitting I/O during pg_init, resulting in a
quicker path switch and less I/O pressure (and memory consumption) after
pg_init.

Whenever multipath_dtr() is happening we must prevent queueing any
further path activation work. Implement this by adding a new
'pg_init_disabled' flag to the multipath structure that denotes future
path activation work should be skipped if it is set. By disabling
pg_init and then re-enabling in flush_multipath_work() we also avoid the
potential for pg_init to be initiated while suspending an mpath device.
Without this patch a race condition exists that may result in a kernel
panic:
1) If after pg_init_done() decrements pg_init_in_progress to 0, a call
to wait_for_pg_init_completion() assumes there are no more pending path
management commands.
2) If pg_init_required is set by pg_init_done(), due to retryable
mode_select errors, then process_queued_ios() will again queue the
path activation work.
3) If free_multipath() completes before activate_path() work is called a

Workaround the SCSI layer's problematic WRITE SAME heuristics by
disabling WRITE SAME in the DM multipath device's queue_limits if an
underlying device disabled it.
The WRITE SAME heuristics, with both the original commit 5db44863b6
("[SCSI] sd: Implement support for WRITE SAME") and the updated commit
66c28f971 ("[SCSI] sd: Update WRITE SAME heuristics"), default to enabling
WRITE SAME(10) even without successfully determining it is supported.
After the first failed WRITE SAME the SCSI layer will disable WRITE SAME
for the device (by setting sdkp->device->no_write_same which results in
'max_write_same_sectors' in device's queue_limits to be set to 0).
When a device is stacked ontop of such a SCSI device any changes to that
SCSI device's queue_limits do not automatically propagate up the stack.
As such, a DM multipath device will not have its WRITE SAME support
disabled. This causes the block layer to continue to issue WRITE SAME
requests to the mpath device which causes paths to fail and (if mpath IO
isn't configured to queue when no paths are available) it will result in
actual IO errors to the upper layers.
This fix doesn't help configurations that have additional devices
stacked ontop of the mpath device (e.g. LVM created linear DM devices
ontop). A proper fix that restacks all the queue_limits from the bottom
of the device stack up will need to be explored if SCSI will continue to
use this model of optimistically allowing op codes and then disabling
them after they fail for the first time.

Avoid returning a truncated table or status string instead of setting
the DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG when the last target of a table fills the
buffer.
When processing a table or status request, the function retrieve_status
calls ti->type->status. If ti->type->status returns non-zero,
retrieve_status assumes that the buffer overflowed and sets
DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG.
However, targets don't return non-zero values from their status method
on overflow. Most targets returns always zero.
If a buffer overflow happens in a target that is not the last in the
table, it gets noticed during the next iteration of the loop in
retrieve_status; but if a buffer overflow happens in the last target, it
goes unnoticed and erroneously truncated data is returned.
In the current code, the targets behave in the following way:
* dm-crypt returns -ENOMEM if there is not enough space to store the
key, but it returns 0 on all other overflows.
* dm-thin returns errors from the status method if a disk error happened.
This is incorrect because retrieve_status doesn't check the error
code, it assumes that all non-zero values mean buffer overflow.
* all the other targets always return 0.
This patch changes the ti->type->status function to return void (because
most targets don't use the return code). Overflow is detected in
retrieve_status: if the status method fills up the remaining space
completely, it is assumed that buffer overflow happened.

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
"This is workqueue updates for v3.7-rc1. A lot of activities this
round including considerable API and behavior cleanups.
* delayed_work combines a timer and a work item. The handling of the
timer part has always been a bit clunky leading to confusing
cancelation API with weird corner-case behaviors. delayed_work is
updated to use new IRQ safe timer and cancelation now works as
expected.
* Another deficiency of delayed_work was lack of the counterpart of
mod_timer() which led to cancel+queue combinations or open-coded
timer+work usages. mod_delayed_work[_on]() are added.
These two delayed_work changes make delayed_work provide interface
and behave like timer which is executed with process context.
* A work item could be executed concurrently on multiple CPUs, which
is rather unintuitive and made flush_work() behavior confusing and
half-broken under certain circumstances. This problem doesn't
exist for non-reentrant workqueues. While non-reentrancy check
isn't free, the overhead is incurred only when a work item bounces
across different CPUs and even in simulated pathological scenario
the overhead isn't too high.
All workqueues are made non-reentrant. This removes the
distinction between flush_[delayed_]work() and
flush_[delayed_]_work_sync(). The former is now as strong as the
latter and the specified work item is guaranteed to have finished
execution of any previous queueing on return.
* In addition to the various bug fixes, Lai redid and simplified CPU
hotplug handling significantly.
* Joonsoo introduced system_highpri_wq and used it during CPU
hotplug.
There are two merge commits - one to pull in IRQ safe timer from
tip/timers/core and the other to pull in CPU hotplug fixes from
wq/for-3.6-fixes as Lai's hotplug restructuring depended on them."
Fixed a number of trivial conflicts, but the more interesting conflicts
were silent ones where the deprecated interfaces had been used by new

have checked if queue_if_no_path was configured before queueing IO.
Checking for the queue_if_no_path feature, like is done in map_io(),

A SCSI device handler might get attached to a device during the
initial device scan. We do not necessarily want to override
this when loading a multipath table, so this patch adds a new
multipath feature argument "retain_attached_hw_handler".
During SCSI device scan all loaded SCSI device handlers will be
consulted for a match (via scsi_dh's provided .match). If a match is
found that device handler will be attached. We need a way to have
userspace multipathd's provided 'hw_handler' not override the already
attached hardware handler.
When specifying the new feature 'retain_attached_hw_handler' multipath
will use the currently attached hardware handler instead of trying to
attach the one specified during table load. If no hardware handler is
attached the specified hardware handler will still be used.
Leverages scsi_dh_attach's ability to increment the scsi_dh's reference
count if the same scsi_dh name is provided when attaching - currently
attached scsi_dh name is determined with scsi_dh_attached_handler_name.

After the failure of a group of paths, any alternative paths that
need initialising do not become available until further I/O is sent to
the device. Until this has happened, ioctls return -EAGAIN.
With this patch, new paths are made available in response to an ioctl
too. The processing of the ioctl gets delayed until this has happened.
Instead of returning an error, we submit a work item to kmultipathd
(that will potentially activate the new path) and retry in ten
milliseconds.
Note that the patch doesn't retry an ioctl if the ioctl itself fails due
to a path failure. Such retries should be handled intelligently by the
code that generated the ioctl in the first place, noting that some SCSI
commands should not be retried because they are not idempotent (XOR write
commands). For commands that could be retried, there is a danger that
if the device rejected the SCSI command, the path could be errorneously
marked as failed, and the request would be retried on another path which
might fail too. It can be determined if the failure happens on the
device or on the SCSI controller, but there is no guarantee that all
SCSI drivers set these flags correctly.

If I/O needs retrying and only bypassed priority groups are available,
set the pg_init_delay_retry flag to wait before retrying.
If, for example, the reason for the bypass is that the controller is
getting reset or there is a firmware upgrade happening, retrying right

Device mapper uses sscanf to convert arguments to numbers. The problem is that
the way we use it ignores additional unmatched characters in the scanned string.
For example, this `if (sscanf(string, "%d", &number) == 1)' will match a number,
but also it will match number with some garbage appended, like "123abc".
As a result, device mapper accepts garbage after some numbers. For example
the command `dmsetup create vg1-new --table "0 16384 linear 254:1bla 34816bla"'
will pass without an error.
This patch fixes all sscanf uses in device mapper. It appends "%c" with
a pointer to a dummy character variable to every sscanf statement.
The construct `if (sscanf(string, "%d%c", &number, &dummy) == 1)' succeeds
only if string is a null-terminated number (optionally preceded by some
whitespace characters). If there is some character appended after the number,
sscanf matches "%c", writes the character to the dummy variable and returns 2.
We check the return value for 1 and consequently reject numbers with some
garbage appended.

This patch adjusts the multipath target to allow a table with both 0
priority groups and 0 for the initial priority group number.
If any mpath device is held open when all paths in the last priority
group have failed, userspace multipathd will attempt to reload the
associated DM table to reflect the fact that the device no longer has
any priority groups. But the reload attempt always failed because the
multipath target did not allow 0 priority groups.
All multipath target messages related to priority group (enable_group,
disable_group, switch_group) will handle a priority group of 0 (will
cause error).
When reloading a multipath table with 0 priority groups, userspace
multipathd must be updated to specify an initial priority group number
of 0 (rather than 1).

This patch adds a user-configurable 'pg_init_delay_msecs' feature. Use
this feature to specify the number of milliseconds to delay before
retrying scsi_dh_activate, when SCSI_DH_RETRY is returned.
SCSI Device Handlers return SCSI_DH_IMM_RETRY if we could retry
activation immediately and SCSI_DH_RETRY in cases where it is better to
retry after some delay.
Currently we immediately retry scsi_dh_activate irrespective of
SCSI_DH_IMM_RETRY and SCSI_DH_RETRY.
The 'pg_init_delay_msecs' feature may be provided during table create or
load, e.g.:
dmsetup create --table "0 20971520 multipath 3 queue_if_no_path \
pg_init_delay_msecs 2500 ..." mpatha
The default for 'pg_init_delay_msecs' is 2000 milliseconds.
Maximum configurable delay is 60000 milliseconds. Specifying a
'pg_init_delay_msecs' of 0 will cause immediate retry.

dm: Call blk_abort_queue on failed paths
Multipath began to use blk_abort_queue() to allow for
lower latency path deactivation. This was found to
cause list corruption:
the cmd gets blk_abort_queued/timedout run on it and the scsi eh
somehow is able to complete and run scsi_queue_insert while
scsi_request_fn is still trying to process the request.

Enable discard support in the DM multipath target.
This discard support depends on a few discard-specific fixes to the
block layer's request stacking driver methods.
Discard requests are optional so don't allow a failed discard to trigger
path failures. If there is a real problem with a given path the
barriers associated with the discard (either before or after the
discard) will cause path failure. That said, unconditionally passing
discard failures up the stack is not ideal. This must be fixed once DM
has more information about the nature of the underlying storage failure.

m->queue_io is set to block processing I/Os, and it needs to be kept
while pg-init, which issues multiple path activations, is in progress.
But m->queue is cleared when a path activation completes without error
in pg_init_done(), even while other path activations are in progress.
That may cause undesired -EIO on paths which are not complete activation.
This patch fixes that by not clearing m->queue_io until all path
activations complete.

This patch converts dm-multipath target to request-based from bio-based.
Basically, the patch just converts the I/O unit from struct bio
to struct request.
In the course of the conversion, it also changes the I/O queueing
mechanism. The change in the I/O queueing is described in details
as follows.
I/O queueing mechanism change
-----------------------------
In I/O submission, map_io(), there is no mechanism change from
bio-based, since the clone request is ready for retry as it is.
However, in I/O complition, do_end_io(), there is a mechanism change
from bio-based, since the clone request is not ready for retry.
In do_end_io() of bio-based, the clone bio has all needed memory
for resubmission. So the target driver can queue it and resubmit
it later without memory allocations.
The mechanism has almost no overhead.
On the other hand, in do_end_io() of request-based, the clone request
doesn't have clone bios, so the target driver can't resubmit it
as it is. To resubmit the clone request, memory allocation for
clone bios is needed, and it takes some overheads.
To avoid the overheads just for queueing, the target driver doesn't
queue the clone request inside itself.
Instead, the target driver asks dm core for queueing and remapping
the original request of the clone request, since the overhead for
queueing is just a freeing memory for the clone request.
As a result, the target driver doesn't need to record/restore
the information of the original request for resubmitting
the clone request. So dm_bio_details in dm_mpath_io is removed.
multipath_busy()
---------------------
The target driver returns "busy", only when the following case:
o The target driver will map I/Os, if map() function is called
and
o The mapped I/Os will wait on underlying device's queue due to
their congestions, if map() function is called now.
In other cases, the target driver doesn't return "busy".
Otherwise, dm core will keep the I/Os and the target driver can't
do what it wants.
(e.g. the target driver can't map I/Os now, so wants to kill I/Os.)
