This use of direct submission in process_prepared_mapping() reduces
latency for submitting bios in a cell by avoiding adding those bios to
the deferred list and waiting for the next iteration of the worker.
But this direct submission exposes the potential for a race between
releasing a cell and incrementing deferred set. Fix this by introducing
dm_cell_visit_release() and refactoring inc_remap_and_issue_cell()
accordingly.

This avoids dropping the cell, so increases the probability that other
bios will collect within the cell, rather than being passed individually
to the worker.
Also add required process_cell and process_discard_cell error handling

When processing a discard bio, if the block is already quiesced do the
discard immediately rather than adding the mapping to a list for the
next iteration of the worker thread.
Discarding a fully provisioned 100G thin volume with 64k block size goes
from 860s to 95s with this change.
Clearly there's something wrong with the worker architecture, more
investigation needed.

Introduce thin_merge so that any additional constraints from the data
volume may be taken into account when determing the maximum number of
sectors that can be issued relative to the specified logical offset.
This is particularly important if/when the data volume is layered ontop
of a more sophisticated device (e.g. dm-raid or some other DM target).

These code changes do not introduce a functional change.
But bio_add_page() will never attempt to build up a bio larger than
queue_max_sectors(). Similarly, bio_get_nr_vecs() is also bound by
queue_max_sectors(). Therefore, there is no point in allowing
dm_merge_bvec() to answer "how many sectors can a bio have at this
offset?" with anything larger than queue_max_sectors(). Using
queue_max_sectors() rather than BIO_MAX_SECTORS serves to more
accurately convey the limits that are being imposed.
Also, use unlikely() to clarify the fact that the defensive code in
dm_merge_bvec() relative to max_size going negative shouldn't ever
happen -- if it does happen there is a bug in the block layer for
requesting larger than dm_merge_bvec()'s initial response for a given
offset. Also, update a comment in dm_merge_bvec() relative to
max_hw_sectors_kb. And fix empty newline whitespace.

Throttle IO based on the time it's taking the worker to do one loop.
There were reports of hung task timeouts occuring and it was observed
that the excessively long avgqu-sz (as reported by iostat) was
contributing to these hung tasks.
Throttling definitely helps dm-thinp perform better under heavy IO load
(without being detremental by being overzealous). It reduces avgqu-sz
drastically, e.g.: from 60K to ~6K, and even as low as 150 once metadata
is cached by bufio, when dirty_ratio=5, dirty_background_ratio=2. And
avgqu-sz stays at or below 30K even with dirty_ratio=20,
dirty_background_ratio=10.

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).

The walk code was using a 'ro_spine' to hold it's locked btree nodes.
But this data structure is designed for the rolling lock scheme, and
as such automatically unlocks blocks that are two steps up the call
chain. This is not suitable for the simple recursive walk algorithm,
which retraces its steps.
This code is only used by the persistent array code, which in turn is
only used by dm-cache. In order to trigger it you need to have a
mapping tree that is more than 2 levels deep; which equates to 8-16
million cache blocks. For instance a 4T ssd with a very small block
size of 32k only just triggers this bug.
The fix just places the locked blocks on the stack, and stops using
the ro_spine altogether.

Commit 48cf06bc5f ("dm raid: add discard support for RAID levels 4, 5
and 6") did not properly handle missing metadata device(s). A failing
read of the superblock causes the metadata and data devices to be
removed from the dev array in struct raid_set, setting references to
both devices to NULL. configure_discard_support() nonetheless tries to
access the data dev unconditionally causing an oops.

The dm-raid superblock (struct dm_raid_superblock) is padded to 512
bytes and that size is being used to read it in from the metadata
device into one preallocated page.
Reading or writing this on a 512-byte sector device works fine but on
a 4096-byte sector device this fails.
Set the dm-raid superblock's size to the logical block size of the
metadata device, because IO at that size is guaranteed too work. Also
add a size check to avoid silent partial metadata loss in case the
superblock should ever grow past the logical block size or PAGE_SIZE.

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.

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.

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.

In case of RAID levels 4, 5 and 6 we have to verify each RAID members'
ability to zero data on discards to avoid stripe data corruption -- if
discard_zeroes_data is not set for each RAID member discard support must
be disabled. But given the uncertainty of whether or not a RAID member
properly supports zeroing data on discard we require the user to
explicitly allow discard support on RAID levels 4, 5, and 6 by setting
a dm-raid module paramter, e.g.: dm-raid.devices_handle_discard_safely=Y
Otherwise, discards could cause data corruption on RAID4/5/6.

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.

Since DM core uses bio_clone_fast() for both bio-based and request-based
DM devices there is no need for DM's bioset to have a bvec mempool.
With this patch, on arch with 4KB page for example, memory usage will be
reduced by 64KB for each bio-based DM device and 1MB for each
request-based DM device.
For example, when you create 10,000 bio-based DM devices and 1,000
request-based DM devices, memory usage of biovec under no load is:
# grep biovec /proc/slabinfo
biovec-256 418068 418068 4096 ...
biovec-128 0 0 2048 ...
biovec-64 0 0 1024 ...
biovec-16 0 0 256 ...
With this patch series applied, the usage becomes:
# grep biovec /proc/slabinfo
biovec-256 116 116 4096 ...
biovec-128 0 0 2048 ...
biovec-64 0 0 1024 ...
biovec-16 0 0 256 ...
So 4096 * (418068 - 116) = 1.6GB of memory is saved in this example.

alloc_tio() uses bio_alloc_bioset() to allocate a clone-bio for a bio.
alloc_tio() takes the number of bvecs to allocate for the clone-bio.
However, with v3.14's immutable biovec changes DM now uses
__bio_clone_fast() and no longer needs to allocate bvecs.
In practice, the 'nr_iovecs' passed to alloc_tio() is always effectively
0. __clone_and_map_simple_bio() looked like it was passing non-zero
nr_iovecs, but its value was always within the range of inline bvecs and
no allocation actually happened. If allocation happened, the BUG_ON() in
__bio_clone_fast() would've triggered.
Remove the nr_iovecs parameter from alloc_tio() to prevent possible
future bio_alloc_bioset() mis-use of a new bioset interface that will no
longer allow bvecs to be allocated.
Also fix extra whitespace before the __bio_clone_fast() call in

Make the choice of checksum a per-I/O property by introducing a flag
that can be inspected by the SCSI layer. There are several reasons for
this:
1. It allows us to switch choice of checksum without unloading and
reloading the HBA driver.
2. During error recovery we need to be able to tell the HBA that
checksums read from disk should not be verified and converted to IP
checksums.
3. For error injection purposes we need to be able to write a bad guard
tag to storage. Since the storage device only supports T10 CRC we

- throughput: +70% in case of virtio-blk over null_blk
- throughput: +30% in case of virtio-blk over SSD image
