When a table is being replaced, it waits for I/O to complete
before destroying the mempool, but the endio function doesn't
call mempool_free() until after completing the bio.
Fix it by swapping the order of those two operations.
The same problem occurs in dm.c with md referenced after dec_pending.
Again, we swap the order.

Implement simple read-only sysfs entry for device-mapper block device.
This patch adds a simple sysfs directory named "dm" under block device
properties and implements
- name attribute (string containing mapped device name)
- uuid attribute (string containing UUID, or empty string if not set)
The kobject is embedded in mapped_device struct, so no additional
memory allocation is needed for initializing sysfs entry.
During the processing of sysfs attribute we need to lock mapped device
which is done by a new function dm_get_from_kobj, which returns the md
associated with kobject and increases the usage count.
Each 'show attribute' function is responsible for its own locking.

Rework table reference counting.
The existing code uses a reference counter. When the last reference is
dropped and the counter reaches zero, the table destructor is called.
Table reference counters are acquired/released from upcalls from other
kernel code (dm_any_congested, dm_merge_bvec, dm_unplug_all).
If the reference counter reaches zero in one of the upcalls, the table
destructor is called from almost random kernel code.
This leads to various problems:
* dm_any_congested being called under a spinlock, which calls the
destructor, which calls some sleeping function.
* the destructor attempting to take a lock that is already taken by the
same process.
* stale reference from some other kernel code keeps the table
constructed, which keeps some devices open, even after successful
return from "dmsetup remove". This can confuse lvm and prevent closing
of underlying devices or reusing device minor numbers.
The patch changes reference counting so that the table destructor can be
called only at predetermined places.
The table has always exactly one reference from either mapped_device->map
or hash_cell->new_map. After this patch, this reference is not counted
in table->holders. A pair of dm_create_table/dm_destroy_table functions
is used for table creation/destruction.
Temporary references from the other code increase table->holders. A pair
of dm_table_get/dm_table_put functions is used to manipulate it.
When the table is about to be destroyed, we wait for table->holders to
reach 0. Then, we call the table destructor. We use active waiting with
msleep(1), because the situation happens rarely (to one user in 5 years)
and removing the device isn't performance-critical task: the user doesn't
care if it takes one tick more or not.
This way, the destructor is called only at specific points
(dm_table_destroy function) and the above problems associated with lazy
destruction can't happen.
Finally remove the temporary protection added to dm_any_congested().

Implement barrier support for single device DM devices
This patch implements barrier support in DM for the common case of dm linear
just remapping a single underlying device. In this case we can safely
pass the barrier through because there can be no reordering between
devices.
NB. Any DM device might cease to support barriers if it gets
reconfigured so code must continue to allow for a possible
-EOPNOTSUPP on every barrier bio submitted. - agk

Instead of having a global bio slab cache, add a reference to one
in each bio_set that is created. This allows for personalized slabs
in each bio_set, so that they can have bios of different sizes.
This means we can personalize the bios we return. File systems may
want to embed the bio inside another structure, to avoid allocation
more items (and stuffing them in ->bi_private) after the get a bio.
Or we may want to embed a number of bio_vecs directly at the end
of a bio, to avoid doing two allocations to return a bio. This is now
possible.

dm_any_congested() just checks for the DMF_BLOCK_IO and has no
code to make sure that suspend waits for dm_any_congested() to
complete. This patch adds such a check.
Without it, a race can occur with dm_table_put() attempting to
destroying the table in the wrong thread, the one running
dm_any_congested() which is meant to be quick and return
immediately.
Two examples of problems:
1. Sleeping functions called from congested code, the caller
of which holds a spin lock.
2. An ABBA deadlock between pdflush and multipathd. The two locks
in contention are inode lock and kernel lock.

The dm_queue_flush(md, DM_WQ_FLUSH_ALL, NULL) in dm_suspend()
is never invoked because:
- 'goto flush_and_out' is the same as 'goto out' because
the 'goto flush_and_out' is called only when '!noflush'
- If r is non-zero, then the code above will invoke 'goto out'

To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers;
to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following:
1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct
prototypes, make (few) callers handle both. That's this changeset.
2) for each driver convert to new methods. *ALL* drivers
are converted in this series.
3) kill the old (renamed) methods.
Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the
end of this series no trace of old methods remain. The only reason why
we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver
debugging if anything goes wrong.
New methods:
open(bdev, mode)
release(disk, mode)
ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called without BKL */
compat_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)
locked_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called with BKL, legacy */

Move stats related fields - stamp, in_flight, dkstats - from disk to
part0 and unify stat handling such that...
* part_stat_*() now updates part0 together if the specified partition
is not part0. ie. part_stat_*() are now essentially all_stat_*().
* {disk|all}_stat_*() are gone.
* part_round_stats() is updated similary. It handles part0 stats
automatically and disk_round_stats() is killed.
* part_{inc|dec}_in_fligh() is implemented which automatically updates
part0 stats for parts other than part0.
* disk_map_sector_rcu() is updated to return part0 if no part matches.
Combined with the above changes, this makes NULL special case
handling in callers unnecessary.
* Separate stats show code paths for disk are collapsed into part
stats show code paths.
* Rename disk_stat_lock/unlock() to part_stat_lock/unlock()
While at it, reposition stat handling macros a bit and add missing

There are two variants of stat functions - ones prefixed with double
underbars which don't care about preemption and ones without which
disable preemption before manipulating per-cpu counters. It's unclear
whether the underbarred ones assume that preemtion is disabled on
entry as some callers don't do that.
This patch unifies diskstats access by implementing disk_stat_lock()
and disk_stat_unlock() which take care of both RCU (for partition
access) and preemption (for per-cpu counter access). diskstats access
should always be enclosed between the two functions. As such, there's
no need for the versions which disables preemption. They're removed
and double underbars ones are renamed to drop the underbars. As an
extra argument is added, there's no danger of using the old version
unconverted.
disk_stat_lock() uses get_cpu() and returns the cpu index and all
diskstat functions which access per-cpu counters now has @cpu
argument to help RT.
This change adds RCU or preemption operations at some places but also
collapses several preemption ops into one at others. Overall, the
performance difference should be negligible as all involved ops are
very lightweight per-cpu ones.

* Implement disk_devt() and part_devt() and use them to directly
access devt instead of computing it from ->major and ->first_minor.
Note that all references to ->major and ->first_minor outside of
block layer is used to determine devt of the disk (the part0) and as
->major and ->first_minor will continue to represent devt for the
disk, converting these users aren't strictly necessary. However,
convert them for consistency.
* Implement disk_max_parts() to avoid directly deferencing
genhd->minors.
* Update bdget_disk() such that it doesn't assume consecutive minor
space.
* Move devt computation from register_disk() to add_disk() and make it
the only one (all other usages use the initially determined value).
These changes clean up the code and will help disk->part dereference

This patch fixes a panic on shrinking a DM device if there is
outstanding I/O to the part of the device that is being removed.
(Normally this doesn't happen - a filesystem would be resized first,
for example.)
The bug is that __clone_and_map() assumes dm_table_find_target()
always returns a valid pointer. It may fail if a bio arrives from the
block layer but its target sector is no longer included in the DM
btree.
This patch appends an empty entry to table->targets[] which will
be returned by a lookup beyond the end of the device.
After calling dm_table_find_target(), __clone_and_map() and target_message()
check for this condition using
dm_target_is_valid().

This patch fixes a bd_mount_sem counter corruption bug in device-mapper.
thaw_bdev() should be called only when freeze_bdev() was called for the
device.
Otherwise, thaw_bdev() will up bd_mount_sem and corrupt the semaphore counter.
struct block_device with the corrupted semaphore may remain in slab cache
and be reused later.
Attached patch will fix it by calling unlock_fs() instead.
unlock_fs() will determine whether it should call thaw_bdev()
by checking the device is frozen or not.
Easy reproducer is:
#!/bin/sh
while [ 1 ]; do
dmsetup --notable create a
dmsetup --nolockfs suspend a
dmsetup remove a
done
It's not easy to see the effect of corrupted semaphore.
So I have tested with putting printk below in bdev_alloc_inode():
if (atomic_read(&ei->bdev.bd_mount_sem.count) != 1)
printk(KERN_DEBUG "Incorrect semaphore count = %d (%p)\n",
atomic_read(&ei->bdev.bd_mount_sem.count),
&ei->bdev);
Without the patch, I saw something like:
Incorrect semaphore count = 17 (f2ab91c0)
With the patch, the message didn't appear.
The bug was introduced in 2.6.16 with this bug fix:
commit d9dde59ba03095e526640988c0fedd75e93bc8b7
Date: Fri Feb 24 13:04:24 2006 -0800
[PATCH] dm: missing bdput/thaw_bdev at removal
Need to unfreeze and release bdev otherwise the bdev inode with
inconsistent state is reused later and cause problem.
and backported to 2.6.15.5.
It occurs only in free_dev(), which is called only when the dm device is
removed. The buggy code is executed only if md->suspended_bdev is
non-NULL and that can happen only when the device was suspended without
noflush.

Some of the code has been gradually transitioned to using the proper
struct request_queue, but there's lots left. So do a full sweet of
the kernel and get rid of this typedef and replace its uses with
the proper type.

No need to warn unregister_blkdev() failure by the callers. (The previous
patch makes unregister_blkdev() print error message in error case)

This patch causes device-mapper to reject any barrier requests. This is done
since most of the targets won't handle this correctly anyway. So until the
situation improves it is better to reject these requests at the first place.
Since barrier requests won't get to the targets, the checks there can be
removed.
