d41003513e block: rework zone reporting
Avoid the need to allocate a potentially large array of struct blk_zone
in the block layer by switching the ->report_zones method interface to
a callback model. Now the caller simply supplies a callback that is
executed on each reported zone, and private data for it.

8adeac3be0 dm stripe: use struct_size() in kmalloc()
One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:

struct stripe_c {
        ...
        struct stripe stripe[0];
};

In this case alloc_context() and dm_array_too_big() are removed and
replaced by the direct use of the struct_size() helper in kmalloc().

Notice that open-coded form is prone to type mistakes.

This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

5de719e3d0 dm mpath: fix missing call of path selector type->end_io
After commit 396eaf21ee ("blk-mq: improve DM's blk-mq IO merging via
blk_insert_cloned_request feedback"), map_request() will requeue the tio
when issued clone request return BLK_STS_RESOURCE or BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE.

Thus, if device driver status is error, a tio may be requeued multiple
times until the return value is not DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE.  That means
type->start_io may be called multiple times, while type->end_io is only
called when IO complete.

In fact, even without commit 396eaf21ee, setup_clone() failure can
also cause tio requeue and associated missed call to type->end_io.

The service-time path selector selects path based on in_flight_size,
which is increased by st_start_io() and decreased by st_end_io().
Missed calls to st_end_io() can lead to in_flight_size count error and
will cause the selector to make the wrong choice.  In addition,
queue-length path selector will also be affected.

To fix the problem, call type->end_io in ->release_clone_rq before tio
requeue.  map_info is passed to ->release_clone_rq() for map_request()
error path that result in requeue.

6bbc923dfc dm: add support to directly boot to a mapped device
Add a "create" module parameter, which allows device-mapper targets to
be configured at boot time. This enables early use of DM targets in the
boot process (as the root device or otherwise) without the need of an
initramfs.

The syntax used in the boot param is based on the concise format from
the dmsetup tool to follow the rule of least surprise:

	dmsetup table --concise /dev/mapper/lroot

Which is:
	dm-mod.create=<name>,<uuid>,<minor>,<flags>,<table>[,<table>+][;<name>,<uuid>,<minor>,<flags>,<table>[,<table>+]+]

Where,
	<name>		::= The device name.
	<uuid>		::= xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx | ""
	<minor>		::= The device minor number | ""
	<flags>		::= "ro" | "rw"
	<table>		::= <start_sector> <num_sectors> <target_type> <target_args>
	<target_type>	::= "verity" | "linear" | ...

For example, the following could be added in the boot parameters:
dm-mod.create="lroot,,,rw, 0 4096 linear 98:16 0, 4096 4096 linear 98:32 0" root=/dev/dm-0

Only the targets that were tested are allowed and the ones that don't
change any block device when the device is create as read-only. For
example, mirror and cache targets are not allowed. The rationale behind
this is that if the user makes a mistake, choosing the wrong device to
be the mirror or the cache can corrupt data.

The only targets initially allowed are:
* crypt
* delay
* linear
* snapshot-origin
* striped
* verity

0bdb50c531 dm: fix to_sector() for 32bit
A dm-raid array with devices larger than 4GB won't assemble on
a 32 bit host since _check_data_dev_sectors() was added in 4.16.
This is because to_sector() treats its argument as an "unsigned long"
which is 32bits (4GB) on a 32bit host.  Using "unsigned long long"
is more correct.

Kernels as early as 4.2 can have other problems due to to_sector()
being used on the size of a device.

71f4d95b23 Merge tag 'for-4.20/dm-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm
Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - The biggest change this cycle is to remove support for the legacy IO
   path (.request_fn) from request-based DM.

   Jens has already started preparing for complete removal of the legacy
   IO path in 4.21 but this earlier removal of support from DM has been
   coordinated with Jens (as evidenced by the commit being attributed to
   him).

   Making request-based DM exclussively blk-mq only cleans up that
   portion of DM core quite nicely.

 - Convert the thinp and zoned targets over to using refcount_t where
   applicable.

 - A couple fixes to the DM zoned target for refcounting and other races
   buried in the implementation of metadata block creation and use.

 - Small cleanups to remove redundant unlikely() around a couple
   WARN_ON_ONCE().

 - Simplify how dm-ioctl copies from userspace, eliminating some
   potential for a malicious user trying to change the executed ioctl
   after its processing has begun.

 - Tweaked DM crypt target to use the DM device name when naming the
   various workqueues created for a particular DM crypt device (makes
   the N workqueues for a DM crypt device more easily understood and
   enhances user's accounting capabilities at a glance via "ps")

 - Small fixup to remove dead branch in DM writecache's memory_entry().

e76239a374 block: add a report_zones method
Dispatching a report zones command through the request queue is a major
pain due to the command reply payload rewriting necessary. Given that
blkdev_report_zones() is executing everything synchronously, implement
report zones as a block device file operation instead, allowing major
simplification of the code in many places.

sd, null-blk, dm-linear and dm-flakey being the only block device
drivers supporting exposing zoned block devices, these drivers are
modified to provide the device side implementation of the
report_zones() block device file operation.

For device mappers, a new report_zones() target type operation is
defined so that the upper block layer calls blkdev_report_zones() can
be propagated down to the underlying devices of the dm targets.
Implementation for this new operation is added to the dm-linear and
dm-flakey targets.

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - DM core passthrough ioctl fix to retain reference to DM table, and
   that table's block devices, while issuing the ioctl to one of those
   block devices.

 - DM core passthrough ioctl fix to _not_ override the fmode_t used to
   issue the ioctl. Overriding by using the fmode_t that the block
   device was originally open with during DM table load is a liability.

 - Add DM core support for secure erase forwarding and update the DM
   linear and DM striped targets to support them.

 - A DM core 4.16 stable fix to allow abnormal IO (e.g. discard, write
   same, write zeroes) for targets that make use of the non-splitting IO
   variant (as is done for multipath or thinp when layered directly on
   NVMe).

 - Allow DM targets to return a payload in response to a DM message that
   they are sent. This is useful for DM targets that would like to
   provide statistics data in response to DM messages.

 - Update DM bufio to support non-power-of-2 block sizes. Numerous other
   related changes prepare the DM bufio code for this support.

 - Fix DM crypt to use a bounded amount of memory across the entire
   system. This is to avoid OOM that can otherwise occur in response to
   certain pathological IO workloads (e.g. discarding a large DM crypt
   device).

 - Add a 'check_at_most_once' feature to the DM verity target to allow
   verity to be used on mobile devices that have very limited resources.

 - Fix the DM integrity target to fail early if a keyed algorithm (e.g.
   HMAC) is to be used but the key isn't set.

 - Add non-power-of-2 support to the DM unstripe target.

 - Eliminate the use of a Variable Length Array in the DM stripe target.

 - Update the DM log-writes target to record metadata (REQ_META flag).

 - DM raid fixes for its nosync status and some variable range issues.

233bde21aa block: Move SECTOR_SIZE and SECTOR_SHIFT definitions into <linux/blkdev.h>
It happens often while I'm preparing a patch for a block driver that
I'm wondering: is a definition of SECTOR_SIZE and/or SECTOR_SHIFT
available for this driver? Do I have to introduce definitions of these
constants before I can use these constants? To avoid this confusion,
move the existing definitions of SECTOR_SIZE and SECTOR_SHIFT into the
<linux/blkdev.h> header file such that these become available for all
block drivers. Make the SECTOR_SIZE definition in the uapi msdos_fs.h
header file conditional to avoid that including that header file after
<linux/blkdev.h> causes the compiler to complain about a SECTOR_SIZE
redefinition.

Note: the SECTOR_SIZE / SECTOR_SHIFT / SECTOR_BITS definitions have
not been removed from uapi header files nor from NAND drivers in
which these constants are used for another purpose than converting
block layer offsets and sizes into a number of sectors.

ac514ffc96 dm mpath: delay the retry of a request if the target responded as busy
Add DM_ENDIO_DELAY_REQUEUE to allow request-based multipath's
multipath_end_io() to instruct dm-rq.c:dm_done() to delay a requeue.
This is beneficial to do if BLK_STS_RESOURCE is returned from the target
(because target is busy).

Relative to blk-mq: kick the hw queues via blk_mq_requeue_work(),
indirectly from dm-rq.c:__dm_mq_kick_requeue_list(), after a delay.

For old .request_fn: use blk_delay_queue().

bio-based multipath doesn't have feature parity with request-based for
retryable error requeues; that is something that'll need fixing in the
future.

64f52b0e31 dm: improve performance by moving dm_io structure to per-bio-data
Eliminates need for a separate mempool to allocate 'struct dm_io'
objects from.  As such, it saves an extra mempool allocation for each
original bio that DM core is issued.

This complicates the per-bio-data accessor functions by needing to
conditonally add extra padding to get to a target's per-bio-data.  But
in the end this provides a decent performance improvement for all
bio-based DM devices.

On an NVMe-loop based testbed to a ramdisk (~3100 MB/s): bio-based
DM linear performance improved by 2% (went from 2665 to 2777 MB/s).
