When processing write same requests, fix dm to send the configured
number of WRITE SAME requests to the target rather than the number of
discards, which is not always the same.
Device-mapper WRITE SAME support was introduced by commit

thin_io_hints() is blindly copying the queue limits from the thin-pool
which can lead to incorrect limits being set. The fix here simply
deletes the thin_io_hints() hook which leaves the existing stacking
infrastructure to set the limits correctly.
When a thin-pool uses an MD device for the data device a thin device
from the thin-pool must respect MD's constraints about disallowing a bio
from spanning multiple chunks. Otherwise we can see problems. If the raid0
chunksize is 1152K and thin-pool chunksize is 256K I see the following
md/raid0 error (with extra debug tracing added to thin_endio) when
mkfs.xfs is executed against the thin device:
md/raid0:md99: make_request bug: can't convert block across chunks or bigger than 1152k 6688 127
device-mapper: thin: bio sector=2080 err=-5 bi_size=130560 bi_rw=17 bi_vcnt=32 bi_idx=0
This extra DM debugging shows that the failing bio is spanning across
the first and second logical 1152K chunk (sector 2080 + 255 takes the
bio beyond the first chunk's boundary of sector 2304). So the bio
splitting that DM is doing clearly isn't respecting the MD limits.
max_hw_sectors_kb is 127 for both the thin-pool and thin device
(queue_max_hw_sectors returns 255 so we'll excuse sysfs's lack of
precision). So this explains why bi_size is 130560.
But the thin device's max_hw_sectors_kb should be 4 (PAGE_SIZE) given
that it doesn't have a .merge function (for bio_add_page to consult
indirectly via dm_merge_bvec) yet the thin-pool does sit above an MD
device that has a compulsory merge_bvec_fn. This scenario is exactly
why DM must resort to sending single PAGE_SIZE bios to the underlying
layer. Some additional context for this is available in the header for
commit 8cbeb67a ("dm: avoid unsupported spanning of md stripe boundaries").
Long story short, the reason a thin device doesn't properly get
configured to have a max_hw_sectors_kb of 4 (PAGE_SIZE) is that
thin_io_hints() is blindly copying the queue limits from the thin-pool
device directly to the thin device's queue limits.
Fix this by eliminating thin_io_hints. Doing so is safe because the
block layer's queue limits stacking already enables the upper level thin
device to inherit the thin-pool device's discard and minimum_io_size and
optimal_io_size limits that get set in pool_io_hints. But avoiding the
queue limits copy allows the thin and thin-pool limits to be different
where it is important, namely max_hw_sectors_kb.

Before attempting to activate a RAID array, it is checked for sufficient
redundancy. That is, we make sure that there are not too many failed
devices - or devices specified for rebuild - to undermine our ability to
activate the array. The current code performs this check twice - once to
ensure there were not too many devices specified for rebuild by the user
('validate_rebuild_devices') and again after possibly experiencing a failure
to read the superblock ('analyse_superblocks'). Neither of these checks are
sufficient. The first check is done properly but with insufficient
information about the possible failure state of the devices to make a good
determination if the array can be activated. The second check is simply
done wrong in the case of RAID10 because it doesn't account for the
independence of the stripes (i.e. mirror sets). The solution is to use the
properly written check ('validate_rebuild_devices'), but perform the check
after the superblocks have been read and we know which devices have failed.
This gives us one check instead of two and performs it in a location where
it can be done right.
Only RAID10 was affected and it was affected in the following ways:
- the code did not properly catch the condition where a user specified
a device for rebuild that already had a failed device in the same mirror
set. (This condition would, however, be caught at a deeper level in MD.)
- the code triggers a false positive and denies activation when devices in
independent mirror sets have failed - counting the failures as though they
were all in the same set.
The most likely place this error was introduced (or this patch should have
been included) is in commit 4ec1e369 - first introduced in v3.7-rc1.
Consequently this fix should also go in v3.7.y, however there is a
small conflict on the .version in raid_target, so I'll submit a
separate patch to -stable.

Introduce a field per_bio_data_size in struct dm_target.
Targets can set this field in the constructor. If a target sets this
field to a non-zero value, "per_bio_data_size" bytes of auxiliary data
are allocated for each bio submitted to the target. These data can be
used for any purpose by the target and help us improve performance by
removing some per-target mempools.
Per-bio data is accessed with dm_per_bio_data. The
argument data_size must be the same as the value per_bio_data_size in
dm_target.
If the target has a pointer to per_bio_data, it can get a pointer to
the bio with dm_bio_from_per_bio_data() function (data_size must be the
same as the value passed to dm_per_bio_data).

Add WRITE SAME support to dm-io and make it accessible to
dm_kcopyd_zero(). dm_kcopyd_zero() provides an asynchronous interface
whereas the blkdev_issue_write_same() interface is synchronous.
WRITE SAME is a SCSI command that can be leveraged for more efficient
zeroing of a specified logical extent of a device which supports it.
Only a single zeroed logical block is transfered to the target for each
WRITE SAME and the target then writes that same block across the
specified extent.
The dm thin target uses this.

vmalloc is noticeably slower than kmalloc because it has to manipulate

On Opteron this patch speeds up activation by 5%.

There is a race when discard bios and non-discard bios are issued
simultaneously to the same block.
Discard support is expensive for all thin devices precisely because you
have to be careful to quiesce the area you're discarding. DM thin must
handle this conflicting IO pattern (simultaneous non-discard vs discard)
even though a sane application shouldn't be issuing such IO.
The race manifests as follows:
1. A non-discard bio is mapped in thin_bio_map.
This doesn't lock out parallel activity to the same block.
2. A discard bio is issued to the same block as the non-discard bio.
3. The discard bio is locked in a dm_bio_prison_cell in process_discard
to lock out parallel activity against the same block.
4. The non-discard bio's mapping continues and its all_io_entry is
incremented so the bio is accounted for in the thin pool's all_io_ds
which is a dm_deferred_set used to track time locality of non-discard IO.
5. The non-discard bio is finally locked in a dm_bio_prison_cell in
process_bio.
The race can result in deadlock, leaving the block layer hanging waiting
for completion of a discard bio that never completes, e.g.:
INFO: task ruby:15354 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

The thinp-test-suite's test_discard_random_sectors reliably hits this
deadlock on fast SSD storage.
The fix for this race is that the all_io_entry for a bio must be
incremented whilst the dm_bio_prison_cell is held for the bio's
associated virtual and physical blocks. That cell locking wasn't
occurring early enough in thin_bio_map. This patch fixes this.
Care is taken to always call the new function inc_all_io_entry() with
the relevant cells locked, but they are generally unlocked before
calling issue() to try to avoid holding the cells locked across
generic_submit_request.
Also, now that thin_bio_map may lock bios in a cell, process_bio() is no
longer the only thread that will do so. Because of this we must be sure
to use cell_defer_except() to release all non-holder entries, that
were added by the other thread, because they must be deferred.
This patch depends on "dm thin: replace dm_cell_release_singleton with
cell_defer_except".

Change existing users of the function dm_cell_release_singleton to share
cell_defer_except instead, and then remove the now-unused function.
Everywhere that calls dm_cell_release_singleton, the bio in question
is the holder of the cell.
If there are no non-holder entries in the cell then cell_defer_except
behaves exactly like dm_cell_release_singleton. Conversely, if there
*are* non-holder entries then dm_cell_release_singleton must not be used
because those entries would need to be deferred.
Consequently, it is safe to replace use of dm_cell_release_singleton
with cell_defer_except.
This patch is a pre-requisite for "dm thin: fix race between

Abort dm ioctl processing if userspace changes the data_size parameter
after we validated it but before we finished copying the data buffer
from userspace.
The dm ioctl parameters are processed in the following sequence:
1. ctl_ioctl() calls copy_params();
2. copy_params() makes a first copy of the fixed-sized portion of the
userspace parameters into the local variable "tmp";
3. copy_params() then validates tmp.data_size and allocates a new
structure big enough to hold the complete data and copies the whole
userspace buffer there;
4. ctl_ioctl() reads userspace data the second time and copies the whole
buffer into the pointer "param";
5. ctl_ioctl() reads param->data_size without any validation and stores it
in the variable "input_param_size";
6. "input_param_size" is further used as the authoritative size of the
kernel buffer.
The problem is that userspace code could change the contents of user
memory between steps 2 and 4. In particular, the data_size parameter
can be changed to an invalid value after the kernel has validated it.
This lets userspace force the kernel to access invalid kernel memory.
The fix is to ensure that the size has not changed at step 4.
This patch shouldn't have a security impact because CAP_SYS_ADMIN is
required to run this code, but it should be fixed anyway.

This patch fixes a compilation failure on sparc32 by renaming struct node.
struct node is already defined in include/linux/node.h. On sparc32, it
happens to be included through other dependencies and persistent-data
doesn't compile because of conflicting declarations.

Pull md update from Neil Brown:
"Mostly just little fixes. Probably biggest part is AVX accelerated
RAID6 calculations."
* tag 'md-3.8' of git://neil.brown.name/md:
md/raid5: add blktrace calls
md/raid5: use async_tx_quiesce() instead of open-coding it.
md: Use ->curr_resync as last completed request when cleanly aborting resync.
lib/raid6: build proper files on corresponding arch
lib/raid6: Add AVX2 optimized gen_syndrome functions
lib/raid6: Add AVX2 optimized recovery functions
md: Update checkpoint of resync/recovery based on time.
md:Add place to update ->recovery_cp.
md.c: re-indent various 'switch' statements.
md: close race between removing and adding a device.
md: removed unused variable in calc_sb_1_csm.

Pull block driver update from Jens Axboe:
"Now that the core bits are in, here are the driver bits for 3.8. The
branch contains:
- A huge pile of drbd bits that were dumped from the 3.7 merge
window. Following that, it was both made perfectly clear that
there is going to be no more over-the-wall pulls and how the
situation on individual pulls can be improved.
- A few cleanups from Akinobu Mita for drbd and cciss.
- Queue improvement for loop from Lukas. This grew into adding a
generic interface for waiting/checking an even with a specific
lock, allowing this to be pulled out of md and now loop and drbd is
also using it.
- A few fixes for xen back/front block driver from Roger Pau Monne.
- Partition improvements from Stephen Warren, allowing partiion UUID
to be used as an identifier."
* 'for-3.8/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (609 commits)
drbd: update Kconfig to match current dependencies
drbd: Fix drbdsetup wait-connect, wait-sync etc... commands
drbd: close race between drbd_set_role and drbd_connect

drbd: Remove obsolete check
drbd: fixup after wait_even_lock_irq() addition to generic code
loop: Limit the number of requests in the bio list
wait: add wait_event_lock_irq() interface
xen-blkfront: free allocated page
xen-blkback: move free persistent grants code
block: partition: msdos: provide UUIDs for partitions
init: reduce PARTUUID min length to 1 from 36
block: store partition_meta_info.uuid as a string
cciss: use check_signature()
cciss: cleanup bitops usage
drbd: use copy_highpage
drbd: if the replication link breaks during handshake, keep retrying
drbd: check return of kmalloc in receive_uuids
drbd: Broadcast sync progress no more often than once per second
drbd: don't try to clear bits once the disk has failed
