Pull dm update from Alasdair G Kergon:
"Miscellaneous device-mapper fixes, cleanups and performance
improvements.
Of particular note:
- Disable broken WRITE SAME support in all targets except linear and
striped. Use it when kcopyd is zeroing blocks.
- Remove several mempools from targets by moving the data into the
bio's new front_pad area(which dm calls 'per_bio_data').
- Fix a race in thin provisioning if discards are misused.
- Prevent userspace from interfering with the ioctl parameters and
use kmalloc for the data buffer if it's small instead of vmalloc.
- Throttle some annoying error messages when I/O fails."

Eliminate struct map_info from dm-snap.
map_info->ptr was used in dm-snap to indicate if the bio was tracked.
If map_info->ptr was non-NULL, the bio was linked in tracked_chunk_hash.
This patch removes the use of map_info->ptr. We determine if the bio was
tracked based on hlist_unhashed(&c->node). If hlist_unhashed is true,
the bio is not tracked, if it is false, the bio is tracked.

Don't use map_info any more in dm-raid1.
map_info was used for writes to hold the region number. For this purpose
we add a new field dm_bio_details to dm_raid1_bio_record.
map_info was used for reads to hold a pointer to dm_raid1_bio_record (if
the pointer was non-NULL, bio details were saved; if the pointer was
NULL, bio details were not saved). We use
dm_raid1_bio_record.details->bi_bdev for this purpose. If bi_bdev is
NULL, details were not saved, if bi_bdev is non-NULL, details were
saved.

Introduce a field per_bio_data_size in struct dm_target.
Targets can set this field in the constructor. If a target sets this
field to a non-zero value, "per_bio_data_size" bytes of auxiliary data
are allocated for each bio submitted to the target. These data can be
used for any purpose by the target and help us improve performance by
removing some per-target mempools.
Per-bio data is accessed with dm_per_bio_data. The
argument data_size must be the same as the value per_bio_data_size in
dm_target.
If the target has a pointer to per_bio_data, it can get a pointer to
the bio with dm_bio_from_per_bio_data() function (data_size must be the
same as the value passed to dm_per_bio_data).

Add WRITE SAME support to dm-io and make it accessible to
dm_kcopyd_zero(). dm_kcopyd_zero() provides an asynchronous interface
whereas the blkdev_issue_write_same() interface is synchronous.
WRITE SAME is a SCSI command that can be leveraged for more efficient
zeroing of a specified logical extent of a device which supports it.
Only a single zeroed logical block is transfered to the target for each
WRITE SAME and the target then writes that same block across the
specified extent.
The dm thin target uses this.

WRITE SAME bios have a payload that contain a single page. When
cloning WRITE SAME bios DM has no need to modify the bi_io_vec
attributes (and doing so would be detrimental). DM need only alter the
start and end of the WRITE SAME bio accordingly.
Rather than duplicate __clone_and_map_discard, factor out a common
function that is also used by __clone_and_map_write_same.

If the parameter buffer is small enough, try to allocate it with kmalloc()
rather than vmalloc().
vmalloc is noticeably slower than kmalloc because it has to manipulate
page tables.
In my tests, on PA-RISC this patch speeds up activation 13 times.
On Opteron this patch speeds up activation by 5%.
This patch introduces a new function free_params() to free the
parameters and this uses new flags that record whether or not vmalloc()
was used and whether or not the input buffer must be wiped after use.

If the user does not supply a bitmap region_size to the dm raid target,
a reasonable size is computed automatically. If this is not a power of 2,
the md code will report an error later.

next power of two.
