Thomas Gleixner reports that we now have a boot crash triggered by
CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)

[<c103a7a3>] mm_alloc+0x53/0xd0
which was introduced by commit de03c72cfc ("mm: convert
mm->cpu_vm_cpumask into cpumask_var_t"), and is due to wrong ordering of
mm_init() vs mm_init_cpumask
Thomas wrote a patch to just fix the ordering of initialization, but I
hate the new double allocation in the fork path, so I ended up instead
doing some more radical surgery to clean it all up.

Reserve just the minimum of pages needed to process one job.
Because we allocate pages from page allocator, we don't need to reserve
a large number of pages. The maximum job size is SUB_JOB_SIZE and we
calculate the number of reserved pages based on this.

Replace the arbitrary calculation of an initial io struct mempool size
with a constant.
The code calculated the number of reserved structures based on the request
size and used a "magic" multiplication constant of 4. This patch changes
it to reserve a fixed number - itself still chosen quite arbitrarily.
Further testing might show if there is a better number to choose.
Note that if there is no memory pressure, we can still allocate an
arbitrary number of "struct io" structures. One structure is enough to
process the whole request.

This patch changes dm-kcopyd so that it allocates pages from the main
page allocator with __GFP_NOWARN | __GFP_NORETRY flags (so that it can
fail in case of memory pressure). If the allocation fails, dm-kcopyd
allocates pages from its own reserve.

Remove the spinlock protecting the pages allocation. The spinlock is only
taken on initialization or from single-threaded workqueue. Therefore, the
spinlock is useless.
The spinlock is taken in kcopyd_get_pages and kcopyd_put_pages.
kcopyd_get_pages is only called from run_pages_job, which is only
called from process_jobs called from do_work.
kcopyd_put_pages is called from client_alloc_pages (which is initialization
function) or from run_complete_job. run_complete_job is only called from
process_jobs called from do_work.
Another spinlock, kc->job_lock is taken each time someone pushes or pops
some work for the worker thread. Once we take kc->job_lock, we
guarantee that any written memory is visible to the other CPUs.

There's a possible theoretical deadlock in dm-kcopyd because multiple
allocations from the same mempool are required to finish a request.
Avoid this by preallocating sub jobs.
There is a mempool of 512 entries. Each request requires up to 9
entries from the mempool. If we have at least 57 concurrent requests
running, the mempool may overflow and mempool allocations may start
blocking until another entry is freed to the mempool. Because the same
thread is used to free entries to the mempool and allocate entries from
the mempool, this may result in a deadlock.
This patch changes it so that one mempool entry contains all 9 "struct
kcopyd_job" required to fulfill the whole request. The allocation is
done only once in dm_kcopyd_copy and no further mempool allocations are
done during request processing.
If dm_kcopyd_copy is not run in the completion thread, this
implementation is deadlock-free.
MIN_JOBS needs reducing accordingly and we've chosen to reduce it
further to 8.

Don't split SUB_JOB_SIZE jobs
If the job size equals SUB_JOB_SIZE, there is no point in splitting it.
Splitting it just unnecessarily wastes time, because the split job size
is SUB_JOB_SIZE too.

This patch adds a check that a block device has a request function
defined before it is used. Otherwise, misconfiguration can cause an oops.
Because we are allowing devices with zero size e.g. an offline multipath
device as in commit 2cd54d9bed
("dm: allow offline devices") there needs to be an additional check
to ensure devices are initialised. Some block devices, like a loop
device without a backing file, exist but have no request function.
Reproducer is trivial: dm-mirror on unbound loop device
(no backing file on loop devices)
dmsetup create x --table "0 8 mirror core 2 8 sync 2 /dev/loop0 0 /dev/loop1 0"
and mirror resync will immediatelly cause OOps.

Quite a few functions that get called from the tlb gather code require that
preemption must be disabled. So disable preemption inside of the called
functions instead.
The only drawback is that rcu_table_freelist_finish() doesn't get necessarily
called on the cpu(s) that filled the free lists. So we may see a delay, until
we finally see an rcu callback. However over time this shouldn't matter.
So we get rid of lots of "BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible"
messages.

page_get_storage_key() and page_set_storage_key() expect a page address
and not its page frame number. This got inconsistent with 2d42552d
"[S390] merge page_test_dirty and page_clear_dirty".
Result is that we read/write storage keys from random pages and do not
have a working dirty bit tracking at all.
E.g. SetPageUpdate() doesn't clear the dirty bit of requested pages, which
for example ext4 doesn't like very much and panics after a while.
