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). Signed-off-by:

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:

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. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by: -

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. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

Always set io->error to -EIO when an error is detected in dm-crypt. There were cases where an error code would be set only if we finish processing the last sector. If there were other encryption operations in flight, the error would be ignored and bio would be returned with success as if no error happened. This bug is present in kcryptd_crypt_write_convert, kcryptd_crypt_read_convert and kcryptd_async_done. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes a possible deadlock in dm-crypt's mempool use. Currently, dm-crypt reserves a mempool of MIN_BIO_PAGES reserved pages. It allocates first MIN_BIO_PAGES with non-failing allocation (the allocation cannot fail and waits until the mempool is refilled). Further pages are allocated with different gfp flags that allow failing. Because allocations may be done in parallel, this code can deadlock. Example: There are two processes, each tries to allocate MIN_BIO_PAGES and the processes run simultaneously. It may end up in a situation where each process allocates (MIN_BIO_PAGES / 2) pages. The mempool is exhausted. Each process waits for more pages to be freed to the mempool, which never happens. To avoid this deadlock scenario, this patch changes the code so that only the first page is allocated with non-failing gfp mask. Allocation of further pages may fail. Signed-off-by:

avc_audit() did a lot of jumping around and had a big stack frame, all for the uncommon case. Split up the uncommon case (which we really can't make go fast anyway) into its own slow function, and mark the conditional branches appropriately for the common likely case. This causes avc_audit() to no longer show up as one of the hottest functions on the branch profiles (the new "perf -b" thing), and makes the cycle profiles look really nice and dense too. The whole audit path is still annoyingly very much one of the biggest costs of name lookup, so these things are worth optimizing for. I wish we could just tell people to turn it off, but realistically we do need it: we just need to make sure that the overhead of the necessary evil is as low as possible.
