Pull a few more things for powerpc by Benjamin Herrenschmidt: - Anton's did some recent improvements to EPOW event reporting on pSeries (power supply failures and such). The patches are self contained enough and replace really nasty code so I felt it should still go in - I did the vio driver registration change Greg requested, I don't see the point of leaving that til the next merge window - The remaining EEH changes I said were still pending to get rid of the EEH references from the generic struct device_node - A few more iSeries removal bits - A perf bug fix on 970 * 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc: powerpc/perf: Fix instruction address sampling on 970 and Power4 powerpc+sparc/vio: Modernize driver registration powerpc: Random little legacy iSeries removal tidy ups powerpc: Remove NO_IRQ_IGNORE powerpc/pseries: Cut down on enthusiastic use of defines in RAS code powerpc/pseries: Clean up ras_error_interrupt code powerpc/pseries: Remove RTAS_POWERMGM_EVENTS powerpc/pseries: Use rtas_get_sensor in RAS code powerpc/pseries: Parse and handle EPOW interrupts powerpc: Make function that parses RTAS error logs global powerpc/eeh: Retrieve PHB from global list powerpc/eeh: Remove eeh information from pci_dn powerpc/eeh: Remove eeh device from OF node

This device-mapper target creates a read-only device that transparently validates the data on one underlying device against a pre-generated tree of cryptographic checksums stored on a second device. Two checksum device formats are supported: version 0 which is already shipping in Chromium OS and version 1 which incorporates some improvements.

Support discards in the thin target. On discard the corresponding mapping(s) are removed from the thin device. If the associated block(s) are no longer shared the discard is passed to the underlying device. All bios other than discards now have an associated deferred_entry that is saved to the 'all_io_entry' in endio_hook. When non-discard IO completes and associated mappings are quiesced any discards that were deferred, via ds_add_work() in process_discard(), will be queued for processing by the worker thread.

This patch contains the ground work needed for dm-thin to support discard. - Adds endio function that replaces shared_read_endio. - Introduce an explicit 'quiesced' flag into the new_mapping structure. Before, this was implicitly indicated by m->list being empty. - The map_info->ptr remains constant for the duration of a bio's trip through the thin target. Make it easier to reason about it.

Support the use of an external _read only_ device as an origin for a thin device. Any read to an unprovisioned area of the thin device will be passed through to the origin. Writes trigger allocation of new blocks as usual. One possible use case for this would be VM hosts that want to run guests on thinly-provisioned volumes but have the base image on another device (possibly shared between many VMs).

The thin metadata format can only make use of a device that is <= THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS (currently 15.9375 GB). Therefore, there is no practical benefit to using a larger device. However, it may be that other factors impose a certain granularity for the space that is allocated to a device (E.g. lvm2 can impose a coarse granularity through the use of large, >= 1 GB, physical extents). Rather than reject a larger metadata device, during thin-pool device construction, switch to allowing it but issue a warning if a device larger than THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS_WARNING (16 GB) is provided. Any space over 15.9375 GB will not be used. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>

Save space by removing entries from the space map ref_count tree if they're no longer needed. Ref counts are stored in two places: a bitmap if the ref_count is below 3, or a btree of uint32_t if 3 or above. When a ref_count that was above 3 drops below we can remove it from the tree and save some metadata space. This removal was commented out before because I was unsure why this was causing under-populated btree nodes. Earlier patches have fixed this issue.

Commit unwritten data every second to prevent too much building up. Released blocks don't become available until after the next commit (for crash resilience). Prior to this patch commits were only triggered by a message to the target or a REQ_{FLUSH,FUA} bio. This allowed far too big a position to build up. The interval is hard-coded to 1 second. This is a sensible setting. I'm not making this user configurable, since there isn't much to be gained by tweaking this - and a lot lost by setting it far too high.

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.

The dm-raid code currently fails to create a RAID array if any of the superblocks cannot be read. This was an oversight as there is already code to handle this case if the values ('- -') were provided for the failed array position. With this patch, if a superblock cannot be read, the array position's fields are initialized as though '- -' was set in the table. That is, the device is failed and the position should not be used, but if there is sufficient redundancy, the array should still be activated.

Fix a harmless typo. The root is a chunk of data that gets written to the superblock. This data is used to recreate the space map when opening a metadata area. We have two space maps; one tracking space on the metadata device and one of the data device. Both of these use the same format for their root, so this typo was harmless.

Now that the value_size is held within every node of the btrees we can remove this argument from value_ptr(). For the last few months a BUG_ON has been checking this argument is the same as that held in the node. No issues were reported. So this is a safe change.

The map_context pointer should always be set. However, we have reports that upon requeuing it is not set correctly. So add set and clear functions with a BUG_ON() to track the issue properly.

Remove documentation for unimplemented 'trim' message. I'd planned a 'trim' target message for shrinking thin devices, but this is better handled via the discard ioctl.

When we remove an entry from a node we sometimes rebalance with it's two neighbours. This wasn't being done correctly; in some cases entries have to move all the way from the right neighbour to the left neighbour, or vice versa. This patch pretty much re-writes the balancing code to fix it. This code is barely used currently; only when you delete a thin device, and then only if you have hundreds of them in the same pool. Once we have discard support, which removes mappings, this will be used much more heavily.

Avoid using the bi_next field for the holder of a cell when deferring bios because a stacked device below might change it. Store the holder in a new field in struct cell instead. When a cell is created, the bio that triggered creation (the holder) was added to the same bio list as subsequent bios. In some cases we pass this holder bio directly to devices underneath. If those devices use the bi_next field there will be trouble... This also simplifies some code that had to work out which bio was the holder.
