A lot of attention was paid to improving the thin-provisioning target's
handling of metadata operation failures and running out of space. A new

Additional fixes/features include:
- a few fixes to properly support thin metadata device resizing
- a solution for reliably waiting for a DM device's embedded kobject to
be released before destroying the device
- old dm-snapshot is updated to use the dm-bufio interface to take
advantage of readahead capabilities that improve snapshot activation
- new dm-cache target tunables to control how quickly data is promoted
to the cache (fast) device
- improved write efficiency of cluster mirror target by combining

In the cluster evironment, cluster write has poor performance because
userspace_flush() has to contact a userspace program (cmirrord) for
clear/mark/flush requests. But both mark and flush requests require
cmirrord to communicate the message to all the cluster nodes for each
flush call. This behaviour is really slow.
To address this we now merge mark and flush requests together to reduce
the kernel-userspace-kernel time. We allow a new directive,
"integrated_flush" that can be used to instruct the kernel log code to
combine flush and mark requests when directed by userspace. If not
directed by userspace (due to an older version of the userspace code
perhaps), the kernel will function as it did previously - preserving
backwards compatibility. Additionally, flush requests are performed
lazily when only clear requests exist.

This bug was introduced in commit 7e664b3dec ("dm space map metadata:
fix extending the space map").
When extending a dm-thin metadata volume we:
- Switch the space map into a simple bootstrap mode, which allocates
all space linearly from the newly added space.
- Add new bitmap entries for the new space
- Increment the reference counts for those newly allocated bitmap
entries
- Commit changes to disk
- Switch back out of bootstrap mode.
But, the disk commit may allocate space itself, if so this fact will be
lost when switching out of bootstrap mode.
The bug exhibited itself as an error when the bitmap_root, with an
erroneous ref count of 0, was subsequently decremented as part of a
later disk commit. This would cause the disk commit to fail, and thinp
to enter read_only mode. The metadata was not damaged (thin_check
passed).
The fix is to put the increments + commit into a loop, running until
the commit has not allocated extra space. In practise this loop only
runs twice.
With this fix the following device mapper testsuite test passes:
dmtest run --suite thin-provisioning -n thin_remove_works_after_resize

Here's the big driver core and sysfs patch set for 3.14-rc1.
There's a lot of work here moving sysfs logic out into a "kernfs" to
allow other subsystems to also have a virtual filesystem with the same
attributes of sysfs (handle device disconnect, dynamic creation /
removal as needed / unneeded, etc. This is primarily being done for
the cgroups filesystem, but the goal is to also move debugfs to it when
it is ready, solving all of the known issues in that filesystem as well.
The code isn't completed yet, but all should be stable now (there is a
big section that was reverted due to problems found when testing.)
There's also some other smaller fixes, and a driver core addition that
allows for a "collection" of objects, that the DRM people will be using
soon (it's in this tree to make merges after -rc1 easier.)
All of this has been in linux-next with no reported issues.

md/raid5: Fix possible confusion when multiple write errors occur.
This reverts commit be35f48610 ("dm: wait until embedded kobject is
released before destroying a device") and provides an improved fix.
The kobject release code that calls the completion must be placed in a
non-module file, otherwise there is a module unload race (if the process
calling dm_kobject_release is preempted and the DM module unloaded after
the completion is triggered, but before dm_kobject_release returns).
To fix this race, this patch moves the completion code to dm-builtin.c
which is always compiled directly into the kernel if BLK_DEV_DM is
selected.
The patch introduces a new dm_kobject_holder structure, its purpose is
to keep the completion and kobject in one place, so that it can be
accessed from non-module code without the need to export the layout of
struct mapped_device to that code.

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

If an array is started degraded, and then the missing device
is found it can be re-added and a minimal bitmap-based recovery
will bring it fully up-to-date.
If the array is read-only a recovery would not be allowed.
But also if the array is read-only and the missing device was
present very recently, then there could be no need for any
recovery at all, so we simply include the device in the read-only
array without any recovery.
However... if the missing device was removed a little longer ago
it could be missing some updates, but if a bitmap is present it will
be conditionally accepted pending a bitmap-based update. We don't
currently detect this case properly and will include that old
device into the read-only array with no recovery even though it really
needs a recovery.
This patch keeps track of whether a bitmap-based-recovery is really
needed or not in the new Bitmap_sync rdev flag. If that is set,
then the device will not be added to a read-only array.

commit 6d183de407
md/raid5: fix newly-broken locking in get_active_stripe.
simplified a BUG_ON, but removed too much so now it sometimes fires
when it shouldn't.
When the STRIPE_EXPANDING flag is set, the stripe_head might be on a
special list while multiple stripe_heads are collected, or it might
not be on any list, even a 'free' list when the refcount is zero. As
long as STRIPE_EXPANDING is set, it will be found and added back to a
list eventually.
So both of the BUG_ONs which test for the ->lru being empty or not
need to avoid the case where STRIPE_EXPANDING is set.

The new iobarrier implementation in raid1 (which keeps normal writes
and resync activity separate) counts every request what is not before
the current resync point in either next_window_requests or
current_window_requests.
It flags that the request is counted by setting ->start_next_window.
allow_barrier follows this model exactly and decrements one of the
*_window_requests if and only if ->start_next_window is set.
However wait_barrier(), which increments *_window_requests uses a
slightly different test for setting -.start_next_window (which is set
from the return value of this function).
So there is a possibility of the counts getting out of sync, and this
leads to the resync hanging.
So change wait_barrier() to return a non-zero value in exactly the
same cases that it increments *_window_requests.
But was introduced in 3.13-rc1.

If we discover a bad block when reading we split the request and
potentially read some of it from a different device.
The code path of this has two bugs in RAID10.
1/ we get a spin_lock with _irq, but unlock without _irq!!
2/ The calculation of 'sectors_handled' is wrong, as can be clearly
seen by comparison with raid1.c
This leads to at least 2 warnings and a probable crash is a RAID10

Improve cache_status to emit:
<metadata block size> <#used metadata blocks>/<#total metadata blocks>
<cache block size> <#used cache blocks>/<#total cache blocks>
...
Adding the block sizes allows for easier calculation of the overall size
of both the metadata and cache devices. Adding <#total cache blocks>
provides useful context for how much of the cache is used.
Unfortunately these additions to the status will require updates to
users' scripts that monitor the cache status. But these changes help
provide more comprehensive information about the cache device and will
simplify tools that are being developed to manage dm-cache devices --
because they won't need to issue 3 operations to cobble together the
information that we can easily provide via a single status ioctl.
While updating the status documentation in cache.txt spaces were

There may be other parts of the kernel holding a reference on the dm
kobject. We must wait until all references are dropped before
deallocating the mapped_device structure.
The dm_kobject_release method signals that all references are dropped
via completion. But dm_kobject_release doesn't free the kobject (which
is embedded in the mapped_device structure).
This is the sequence of operations:
* when destroying a DM device, call kobject_put from dm_sysfs_exit
* wait until all users stop using the kobject, when it happens the
release method is called
* the release method signals the completion and should return without
delay
* the dm device removal code that waits on the completion continues
* the dm device removal code drops the dm_mod reference the device had
* the dm device removal code frees the mapped_device structure that
contains the kobject
Using kobject this way should avoid the module unload race that was
mentioned at the beginning of this thread:

Internally the mq policy maintains a promotion threshold variable. If
the hit count of a block not in the cache goes above this threshold it
gets promoted to the cache.
This patch introduces three new tunables that allow you to tweak the
promotion threshold by adding a small value. These adjustments depend
on the io type:
read_promote_adjustment: READ io, default 4
write_promote_adjustment: WRITE io, default 8
discard_promote_adjustment: READ/WRITE io to a discarded block, default 1
If you're trying to quickly warm a new cache device you may wish to
reduce these to encourage promotion. Remember to switch them back to
their defaults after the cache fills though.

The pool mode must not be switched until after the corresponding pool
process_* methods have been established. Otherwise, because
set_pool_mode() isn't interlocked with the IO path for performance
reasons, the IO path can end up executing process_* operations that
don't match the mode. This patch eliminates problems like the following
(as seen on really fast PCIe SSD storage when transitioning the pool's
mode from PM_READ_ONLY to PM_WRITE):
kernel: device-mapper: thin: 253:2: reached low water mark for data device: sending event.

kernel: device-mapper: thin: pool mode is PM_WRITE not PM_READ_ONLY like expected!?
dm-thin.c:995 was the WARN_ON_ONCE(get_pool_mode(pool) != PM_READ_ONLY);
at the top of handle_unserviceable_bio(). And as the additional
debugging I had conveys: the pool mode was _not_ PM_READ_ONLY like
expected, it was already PM_WRITE, yet pool->process_bio was still set
to process_bio_read_only().
Also, while fixing this up, reduce logging of redundant pool mode
transitions by checking new_mode is different from old_mode.

The pool's error_if_no_space flag can easily serve the same purpose that
no_free_space did, namely: control whether handle_unserviceable_bio()
will error a bio or requeue it.
This is cleaner since error_if_no_space is established when the pool's
features are processed during table load. So it avoids managing the
no_free_space flag by taking the pool's spinlock.

If the pool runs out of data or metadata space, the pool can either
queue or error the IO destined to the data device. The default is to
queue the IO until more space is added.
An admin may now configure the pool to error IO when no space is
available by setting the 'error_if_no_space' feature when loading the
thin-pool table.

Now that we switch the pool to read-only mode when the data device runs
out of space it causes active writers to get IO errors once we resume
after resizing the data device.
If no_free_space is set, save bios to the 'retry_on_resume_list' and
requeue them on resume (once the data or metadata device may have been
resized).
With this patch the resize_io test passes again (on slower storage):
dmtest run --suite thin-provisioning -n /resize_io/
Later patches fix some subtle races associated with the pool mode
transitions done as part of the pool's -ENOSPC handling. These races
are exposed on fast storage (e.g. PCIe SSD).

Factor out_of_data_space() out of alloc_data_block(). Eliminate the use
of 'no_free_space' as a latch in alloc_data_block() -- this is no longer
needed now that we switch to read-only mode when we run out of data or
metadata space. In a later patch, the 'no_free_space' flag will be
eliminated entirely (in favor of checking metadata rather than relying
on a transient flag).
Move no metdata space handling into metdata_operation_failed(). Set
no_free_space when metadata space is exhausted too. This is useful,
because it offers consistency, for the following patch that will requeue
data IOs if no_free_space.
Also, rename no_space() to retry_bios_on_resume().

Introduce metadata_operation_failed() wrappers, around set_pool_mode(),
to assist with improving the consistency of how metadata failures are
handled. Logging is improved and metadata operation failures trigger
read-only mode immediately.
Also, eliminate redundant set_pool_mode() calls in the two
alloc_data_block() caller's error paths.

Mappings could be processed in descending logical block order,
particularly if buffered IO is used. This could adversely affect the

Starting with commit c0820cf5ad ("dm: introduce per_bio_data"),
device mapper has the capability to pre-allocate a target-specific
structure with the bio.
This patch changes dm-delay to use this facility instead of a slab cache
and mempool.

A device mapper table is allocated in the following way:
* The function dm_table_create is called, it gets the number of targets
as an argument -- it allocates a targets array accordingly.
* For each target, we call dm_table_add_target.
If we add more targets than were specified in dm_table_create, the
function dm_table_add_target reallocates the targets array. However,
this reallocation code is wrong - it moves the targets array to a new
location, while some target constructors hold pointers to the array in
the old location.
The following DM target drivers save the pointer to the target
structure, so they corrupt memory if the target array is moved:
multipath, raid, mirror, snapshot, stripe, switch, thin, verity.
Under normal circumstances, the reallocation function is not called
(because dm_table_create is called with the correct number of targets),
so the buggy reallocation code is not used.
Prior to the fix "dm table: fail dm_table_create on dm_round_up
overflow", the reallocation code could only be used in case the user
specifies too large a value in param->target_count, such as 0xffffffff.

If a snapshot is created and later deleted the origin dm_thin_device's
snapshotted_time will have been updated to reflect the snapshot's
creation time. The 'shared' flag in the dm_thin_lookup_result struct
returned from dm_thin_find_block() is an approximation based on
snapshotted_time -- this is done to avoid 0(n), or worse, time
complexity. In this case, the shared flag would be true.
But because the 'shared' flag reflects an approximation a block can be
incorrectly assumed to be shared (e.g. false positive for 'shared'
because the snapshot no longer exists). This could result in discards
issued to a thin device not being passed down to the pool's underlying
data device.
To fix this we double check that a thin block is really still in-use
after a mapping is removed using dm_pool_block_is_used(). If the
reference count for a block is now zero the discard is allowed to be
passed down.
Also add a 'definitely_not_shared' member to the dm_thin_new_mapping
structure -- reflects that the 'shared' flag in the response from
dm_thin_find_block() can only be held as definitive if false is
returned.

The old writeback PD controller could get into states where it had throttled all

understand what it was doing.
This rewrites a good chunk of it to hopefully be simpler and make more sense,
and it also pays more attention to units which should make the behaviour a bit
easier to understand.
