Allow the snapshot chunk size to be smaller than the page size
The code is now capable of handling this due to some previous
fixes and enhancements.
As the page size varies between computers, prior to this patch,
the chunk size of a snapshot dictated which machines could read it:
Snapshots created on one machine might not be readable on another.

Use unsigned integer chunk size.
Maximum chunk size is 512kB, there won't ever be need to use 4GB chunk size,
so the number can be 32-bit. This fixes compiler failure on 32-bit systems
with large block devices.

If we are creating snapshot with memory-stored exception store, fail if
the user didn't specify chunk size. Zero chunk size would probably crash
a lot of places in the rest of snapshot code.

Multiple instances of dec_pending() can run concurrently so a lock is
needed when it saves the first error code.
I have never experienced actual problem without locking and just found
this during code inspection while implementing the barrier support
patch for request-based dm.
This patch adds the locking.
I've done compile, boot and basic I/O testings.

Avoid a race causing corruption when snapshots of the same origin have
different chunk sizes by sorting the internal list of snapshots by chunk
size, largest first.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=182659
For example, let's have two snapshots with different chunk sizes. The
first snapshot (1) has small chunk size and the second snapshot (2) has
large chunk size. Let's have chunks A, B, C in these snapshots:
snapshot1: ====A==== ====B====
snapshot2: ==========C==========
(Chunk size is a power of 2. Chunks are aligned.)
A write to the origin at a position within A and C comes along. It
triggers reallocation of A, then reallocation of C and links them
together using A as the 'primary' exception.
Then another write to the origin comes along at a position within B and
C. It creates pending exception for B. C already has a reallocation in
progress and it already has a primary exception (A), so nothing is done
to it: B and C are not linked.
If the reallocation of B finishes before the reallocation of C, because
there is no link with the pending exception for C it does not know to
wait for it and, the second write is dispatched to the origin and causes
data corruption in the chunk C in snapshot2.
To avoid this situation, we maintain snapshots sorted in descending
order of chunk size. This leads to a guaranteed ordering on the links
between the pending exceptions and avoids the problem explained above -
both A and B now get linked to C.

Commit a9327cac440be4d8333bba975cbbf76045096275 added seperate read
and write statistics of in_flight requests. And exported the number
of read and write requests in progress seperately through sysfs.
But Corrado Zoccolo <czoccolo@gmail.com> reported getting strange
output from "iostat -kx 2". Global values for service time and
utilization were garbage. For interval values, utilization was always
100%, and service time is higher than normal.
So this was reverted by commit 0f78ab9899e9d6acb09d5465def618704255963b
The problem was in part_round_stats_single(), I missed the following:
if (now == part->stamp)
return;
- if (part->in_flight) {
+ if (part_in_flight(part)) {
__part_stat_add(cpu, part, time_in_queue,
part_in_flight(part) * (now - part->stamp));
__part_stat_add(cpu, part, io_ticks, (now - part->stamp));
With this chunk included, the reported regression gets fixed.

Commit b8313b6da7e2e7c7f47d93d8561969a3ff9ba0ea ("dm log: remove incorrect
field from userspace table output") added a call to strstr() with a
single-character "needle" string parameter.
Unfortunately some versions of gcc replace such calls to strstr() by calls
to strchr() behind our back. This causes linking errors if strchr() is
defined as an inline function in <asm/string.h> (e.g. on m68k):
| WARNING: "strchr" [drivers/md/dm-log-userspace.ko] undefined!

Some engines optimize operation by reading ahead in the descriptor chain
such that descriptor2 may start execution before descriptor1 completes.
If descriptor2 depends on the result from descriptor1 then a fence is
required (on descriptor2) to disable this optimization. The async_tx
api could implicitly identify dependencies via the 'depend_tx'
parameter, but that would constrain cases where the dependency chain
only specifies a completion order rather than a data dependency. So,
provide an ASYNC_TX_FENCE to explicitly identify data dependencies.

Fix some problems seen in the chunk size processing when activating a
pre-existing snapshot.
For a new snapshot, the chunk size can either be supplied by the creator
or a default value can be used. For an existing snapshot, the
chunk size in the snapshot header on disk should always be used.
If someone attempts to load an existing snapshot and has the 'default
chunk size' option set, the kernel uses its default value even when it
is incorrect for the snapshot being loaded. This patch ensures the
correct on-disk value is always used.
Secondly, when the code does use the chunk size stored on the disk it is
prudent to revalidate it, so the code can exit cleanly if it got
corrupted as happened in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=461506 .

If a persistent snapshot fills up, a race can corrupt the on-disk header
which causes a crash on any future attempt to activate the snapshot
(typically while booting). This patch fixes the race.
When the snapshot overflows, __invalidate_snapshot is called, which calls
snapshot store method drop_snapshot. It goes to persistent_drop_snapshot that
calls write_header. write_header constructs the new header in the "area"
location.
Concurrently, an existing kcopyd job may finish, call copy_callback
and commit_exception method, that goes to persistent_commit_exception.
persistent_commit_exception doesn't do locking, relying on the fact that
callbacks are single-threaded, but it can race with snapshot invalidation and
overwrite the header that is just being written while the snapshot is being
invalidated.
The result of this race is a corrupted header being written that can
lead to a crash on further reactivation (if chunk_size is zero in the
corrupted header).
The fix is to use separate memory areas for each.

Device-mapper userspace logs (like the clustered log) are
identified by a universally unique identifier (UUID). This
identifier is used to associate requests from the kernel to
a specific log in userspace. The UUID must be unique everywhere,
since multiple machines may use this identifier when communicating
about a particular log, as is the case for cluster logs.
Sometimes, device-mapper/LVM may re-use a UUID. This is the
case during pvmoves, when moving from one segment of an LV
to another, or when resizing a mirror, etc. In these cases,
a new log is created with the same UUID and loaded in the
"inactive" slot. When a device-mapper "resume" is issued,
the "live" table is deactivated and the new "inactive" table
becomes "live". (The "inactive" table can also be removed
via a device-mapper 'clear' command.)
The above two issues were colliding. More than one log was being
created with the same UUID, and there was no way to distinguish
between them. So, sometimes the wrong log would be swapped
out during the exchange.
The solution is to create a locally unique identifier,
'luid', to go along with the UUID. This new identifier is used
to determine exactly which log is being referenced by the kernel
when the log exchange is made. The identifier is not
universally safe, but it does not need to be, since
create/destroy/suspend/resume operations are bound to a specific
machine; and these are the operations that make up the exchange.

This patch fixes a bug which was triggering a case where the primary leg
could not be changed on failure even when the mirror was in-sync.
The case involves the failure of the primary device along with
the transient failure of the log device. The problem is that
bios can be put on the 'failures' list (due to log failure)
before 'fail_mirror' is called due to the primary device failure.
Normally, this is fine, but if the log device failure is transient,
a subsequent iteration of the work thread, 'do_mirror', will
reset 'log_failure'. The 'do_failures' function then resets
the 'in_sync' variable when processing bios on the failures list.
The 'in_sync' variable is what is used to determine if the
primary device can be switched in the event of a failure. Since
this has been reset, the primary device is incorrectly assumed
to be not switchable.
The case has been seen in the cluster mirror context, where one
machine realizes the log device is dead before the other machines.
As the responsibilities of the server migrate from one node to
another (because the mirror is being reconfigured due to the failure),
the new server may think for a moment that the log device is fine -
thus resetting the 'log_failure' variable.
In any case, it is inappropiate for us to reset the 'log_failure'
variable. The above bug simply illustrates that it can actually
hurt us.

The output of 'dmsetup table' includes an internal field that should not
be there. This patch removes it. To make the fix simpler, we first
reorder a constructor argument
The 'device size' argument is generated internally. Currently it is
placed as the last space-separated word of the constructor string.
However, we need to use a version of the string without this word, so we
move it to the beginning instead so it is trivial to skip past it.
We keep a copy of the arguments passed to userspace for creating a log,
just in case we need to resend them. These are the same arguments that
are desired in the STATUSTYPE_TABLE request, except for one. When
creating the userspace log, the userspace daemon must know the size of
the mirror, so that is added to the arguments given in the constructor
table. We were printing this extra argument out as well, which is a
mistake.

Fix 'dmsetup table' output.
There is a missing ' ' at the end of the string causing two
words to run together.

Set sensible I/O hints for striped DM devices in the topology
infrastructure added for 2.6.31 for userspace tools to
obtain via sysfs.
Add .io_hints to 'struct target_type' to allow the I/O hints portion
(io_min and io_opt) of the 'struct queue_limits' to be set by each
target and implement this for dm-stripe.
