Commit b685d3d65a ("block: treat REQ_FUA and REQ_PREFLUSH as
synchronous") removed REQ_SYNC flag from WRITE_{FUA|PREFLUSH|...}
definitions. generic_make_request_checks() however strips REQ_FUA and
REQ_PREFLUSH flags from a bio when the storage doesn't report volatile
write cache and thus write effectively becomes asynchronous which can
lead to performance regressions.
Fix the problem by making sure all bios which are synchronous are
properly marked with REQ_SYNC.

When there is an error copying a chunk dm-snapshot can incorrectly hold
associated bios indefinitely, resulting in hung IO.
The function copy_callback sets pe->error if there was error copying the
chunk, and then calls complete_exception. complete_exception calls
pending_complete on error, otherwise it calls commit_exception with
commit_callback (and commit_callback calls complete_exception).
The persistent exception store (dm-snap-persistent.c) assumes that calls
to prepare_exception and commit_exception are paired.
persistent_prepare_exception increases ps->pending_count and
persistent_commit_exception decreases it.
If there is a copy error, persistent_prepare_exception is called but
persistent_commit_exception is not. This results in the variable
ps->pending_count never returning to zero and that causes some pending
exceptions (and their associated bios) to be held forever.
Fix this by unconditionally calling commit_exception regardless of
whether the copy was successful. A new "valid" parameter is added to
commit_exception -- when the copy fails this parameter is set to zero so
that the chunk that failed to copy (and all following chunks) is not
recorded in the snapshot store. Also, remove commit_callback now that
it is merely a wrapper around pending_complete.

Commit 55494bf294 ("dm snapshot: use dm-bufio") broke snapshots.
Before that 3.14-rc1 commit, loading a snapshot's list of exceptions
involved reading exception areas one by one into ps->area and inserting
those exceptions into the hash table. Commit 55494bf294 changed
it so that dm-bufio with prefetch is used to load exceptions in batchs.
Exceptions are loaded correctly, but ps->area is left uninitialized.
When a new exception is allocated, it is stored in this uninitialized
ps->area which will be written to the disk. This causes metadata
corruption.
Fix this corruption by copying the last area that was read via dm-bufio
into ps->area.

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.

This patch fixes a particular type of data corruption that has been
encountered when loading a snapshot's metadata from disk.
When we allocate a new chunk in persistent_prepare, we increment
ps->next_free and we make sure that it doesn't point to a metadata area
by further incrementing it if necessary.
When we load metadata from disk on device activation, ps->next_free is
positioned after the last used data chunk. However, if this last used
data chunk is followed by a metadata area, ps->next_free is positioned
erroneously to the metadata area. A newly-allocated chunk is placed at
the same location as the metadata area, resulting in data or metadata
corruption.
This patch changes the code so that ps->next_free skips the metadata
area when metadata are loaded in function read_exceptions.
The patch also moves a piece of code from persistent_prepare_exception
to a separate function skip_metadata to avoid code duplication.

The kernel reports a lockdep warning if a snapshot is invalidated because
it runs out of space.
The lockdep warning was triggered by commit 0976dfc1d0
("workqueue: Catch more locking problems with flush_work()") in v3.5.
The warning is false positive. The real cause for the warning is that
the lockdep engine treats different instances of md->lock as a single
lock.
This patch is a workaround - we use flush_workqueue instead of flush_work.
This code path is not performance sensitive (it is called only on
initialization or invalidation), thus it doesn't matter that we flush the
whole workqueue.
The real fix for the problem would be to teach the lockdep engine to treat
different instances of md->lock as separate locks.

This patch converts bio-based dm to support REQ_FLUSH/FUA instead of

* -EOPNOTSUPP handling logic dropped.
* Preflush is handled as before but postflush is dropped and replaced
with passing down REQ_FUA to member request_queues. This replaces
one array wide cache flush w/ member specific FUA writes.
* __split_and_process_bio() now calls __clone_and_map_flush() directly
for flushes and guarantees all FLUSH bio's going to targets are zero
` length.
* It's now guaranteed that all FLUSH bio's which are passed onto dm
targets are zero length. bio_empty_barrier() tests are replaced
with REQ_FLUSH tests.
* Empty WRITE_BARRIERs are replaced with WRITE_FLUSHes.
* Dropped unlikely() around REQ_FLUSH tests. Flushes are not unlikely
enough to be marked with unlikely().
* Block layer now filters out REQ_FLUSH/FUA bio's if the request_queue
doesn't support cache flushing. Advertise REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA
capability.
* Request based dm isn't converted yet. dm_init_request_based_queue()
resets flush support to 0 for now. To avoid disturbing request
based dm code, dm->flush_error is added for bio based dm while
requested based dm continues to use dm->barrier_error.

Fix some problems seen in the chunk size processing when activating a
pre-existing snapshot.
For a new snapshot, the chunk size can either be supplied by the creator
or a default value can be used. For an existing snapshot, the
chunk size in the snapshot header on disk should always be used.
If someone attempts to load an existing snapshot and has the 'default
chunk size' option set, the kernel uses its default value even when it
is incorrect for the snapshot being loaded. This patch ensures the
correct on-disk value is always used.
Secondly, when the code does use the chunk size stored on the disk it is
prudent to revalidate it, so the code can exit cleanly if it got
corrupted as happened in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=461506 .

If a persistent snapshot fills up, a race can corrupt the on-disk header
which causes a crash on any future attempt to activate the snapshot
(typically while booting). This patch fixes the race.
When the snapshot overflows, __invalidate_snapshot is called, which calls
snapshot store method drop_snapshot. It goes to persistent_drop_snapshot that
calls write_header. write_header constructs the new header in the "area"
location.
Concurrently, an existing kcopyd job may finish, call copy_callback
and commit_exception method, that goes to persistent_commit_exception.
persistent_commit_exception doesn't do locking, relying on the fact that
callbacks are single-threaded, but it can race with snapshot invalidation and
overwrite the header that is just being written while the snapshot is being
invalidated.
The result of this race is a corrupted header being written that can
lead to a crash on further reactivation (if chunk_size is zero in the
corrupted header).
The fix is to use separate memory areas for each.
