Commit 9567366fefdd ("dm cache metadata: fix READ_LOCK macros and
cleanup WRITE_LOCK macros") uses down_write() instead of down_read() in
cmd_read_lock(), yet up_read() is used to release the lock in
READ_UNLOCK(). Fix it.

The READ_LOCK macro was incorrectly returning -EINVAL if
dm_bm_is_read_only() was true -- it will always be true once the cache
metadata transitions to read-only by dm_cache_metadata_set_read_only().
Wrap READ_LOCK and WRITE_LOCK multi-statement macros in do {} while(0).
Also, all accesses of the 'cmd' argument passed to these related macros
are now encapsulated in parenthesis.
A follow-up patch can be developed to eliminate the use of macros in
favor of pure C code. Avoiding that now given that this needs to apply
to stable@.

Otherwise operations may be attempted that will only ever go on to crash
(since the metadata device is either missing or unreliable if 'fail_io'
is set).

- Include Christoph's refactoring of DM's ioctl handling and add
support for passing through persistent reservations with DM
multipath.
- All other changes are very simple cleanups"

dm_bm_unlock and dm_tm_unlock return an integer value but the returned
value is always 0. The calling code sometimes checks the return value
and sometimes doesn't.
Eliminate these unnecessary return values and also the checks for them.

If the CLEAN_SHUTDOWN flag is not set when a cache is loaded then all cache
blocks are marked as dirty and a full writeback occurs.
__commit_transaction() is responsible for setting/clearing
CLEAN_SHUTDOWN (based the flags_mutator that is passed in).
Fix this issue, of the cache's on-disk flags being wrong, by making sure
__commit_transaction() does not reset the flags after the mutator has
altered the flags in preparation for them being serialized to disk.
before:
sb_flags = mutator(le32_to_cpu(disk_super->flags));
disk_super->flags = cpu_to_le32(sb_flags);
disk_super->flags = cpu_to_le32(cmd->flags);
after:
disk_super->flags = cpu_to_le32(cmd->flags);
sb_flags = mutator(le32_to_cpu(disk_super->flags));
disk_super->flags = cpu_to_le32(sb_flags);

If a cache metadata operation fails (e.g. transaction commit) the
cache's metadata device will abort the current transaction, set a new
needs_check flag, and the cache will transition to "read-only" mode. If
aborting the transaction or setting the needs_check flag fails the cache
will transition to "fail-io" mode.
Once needs_check is set the cache device will not be allowed to
activate. Activation requires write access to metadata. Future work is
needed to add proper support for running the cache in read-only mode.
Once in fail-io mode the cache will report a status of "Fail".
Also, add commit() wrapper that will disallow commits if in read_only or
fail mode.

If a DM table is reloaded with an inactive table when the device is not
suspended (normal procedure for LVM2), then there will be two dm-bufio
objects that can diverge. This can lead to a situation where the
inactive table uses bufio to read metadata at the same time the active
table writes metadata -- resulting in the inactive table having stale
metadata buffers once it is promoted to the active table slot.
Fix this by using reference counting and a global list of cache metadata
objects to ensure there is only one metadata object per metadata device.

This reverts commit 64ab346a360a4b15c28fb8531918d4a01f4eabd9 because we
actually do want to allow the discard blocksize to be larger than the
cache blocksize. Further dm-cache discard changes will make this
possible.

Commit 7d48935e cleaned up the persistent-data's space-map-metadata
limits by elevating them to dm-space-map-metadata.h. Update
dm-cache-metadata to use these same limits.
The calculation for DM_CACHE_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS didn't account for the
sizeof the disk_bitmap_header. So the supported maximum metadata size
is a bit smaller (reduced from 33423360 to 33292800 sectors).

When suspending a cache the policy is walked and the individual policy
hints written to the metadata via sync_metadata(). This led to this
lock order:
policy->lock
cache_metadata->root_lock
When loading the cache target the policy is populated while the metadata
lock is held:
cache_metadata->root_lock
policy->lock
Fix this potential lock-inversion (ABBA) deadlock in sync_metadata() by
ensuring the cache_metadata root_lock is held whilst all the hints are
written, rather than being repeatedly locked while policy->lock is held
(as was the case with each callout that policy_walk_mappings() made to
the old save_hint() method).
Found by turning on the CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING ("Lock debugging: prove
locking correctness") build option. However, it is not clear how the
LOCKDEP reported paths can lead to a deadlock since the two paths,
suspending a target and loading a target, never occur at the same time.
But that doesn't mean the same lock-inversion couldn't have occurred
elsewhere.

In theory copying the space map root can fail, but in practice it never
does because we're careful to check what size buffer is needed.
But make certain we're able to copy the space map roots before
locking the superblock.

The persistent-data library used by dm-thin, dm-cache, etc is
transactional. If anything goes wrong, such as an io error when writing
new metadata or a power failure, then we roll back to the last
transaction.
Atomicity when committing a transaction is achieved by:
a) Never overwriting data from the previous transaction.
b) Writing the superblock last, after all other metadata has hit the
disk.
This commit and the following commit ("dm: take care to copy the space
map roots before locking the superblock") fix a bug associated with (b).
When committing it was possible for the superblock to still be written
in spite of an io error occurring during the preceeding metadata flush.
With these commits we're careful not to take the write lock out on the
superblock until after the metadata flush has completed.
Change the transaction manager's semantics for dm_tm_commit() to assume
all data has been flushed _before_ the single superblock that is passed
in.
As a prerequisite, split the block manager's block unlocking and
flushing by simplifying dm_bm_flush_and_unlock() to dm_bm_flush(). Now
the unlocking must be done separately.
This issue was discovered by forcing io errors at the crucial time
using dm-flakey.

Discard block size not being equal to cache block size causes data
corruption by erroneously avoiding migrations in issue_copy() because
the discard state is being cleared for a group of cache blocks when it
should not.
Completely remove all code that enabled a distinction between the

"Passthrough" is a dm-cache operating mode (like writethrough or
writeback) which is intended to be used when the cache contents are not
known to be coherent with the origin device. It behaves as follows:
* All reads are served from the origin device (all reads miss the cache)
* All writes are forwarded to the origin device; additionally, write
hits cause cache block invalidates
This mode decouples cache coherency checks from cache device creation,
largely to avoid having to perform coherency checks while booting. Boot
scripts can create cache devices in passthrough mode and put them into
service (mount cached filesystems, for example) without having to worry
about coherency. Coherency that exists is maintained, although the
cache will gradually cool as writes take place.
Later, applications can perform coherency checks, the nature of which
will depend on the type of the underlying storage. If coherency can be
verified, the cache device can be transitioned to writethrough or
writeback mode while still warm; otherwise, the cache contents can be
discarded prior to transitioning to the desired operating mode.

When reading the dm cache metadata from disk, ignore the policy hints
unless they were generated by the same major version number of the same
policy module.
The hints are considered to be private data belonging to the specific
module that generated them and there is no requirement for them to make
sense to different versions of the policy that generated them.
Policy modules are all required to work fine if no previous hints are
supplied (or if existing hints are lost).

When writing the dirty bitset to the metadata device on a clean
shutdown, clear the dirty bits. Previously they were left indicating
the cache was dirty. This led to confusion about whether there really
was dirty data in the cache or not. (This was a harmless bug.)

Add a target that allows a fast device such as an SSD to be used as a
cache for a slower device such as a disk.
A plug-in architecture was chosen so that the decisions about which data
to migrate and when are delegated to interchangeable tunable policy
modules. The first general purpose module we have developed, called
"mq" (multiqueue), follows in the next patch. Other modules are
under development.
