A thin-pool will allocate blocks using FIFO order for all thin devices
which share the thin-pool. Because of this simplistic allocation the
thin-pool's space can become fragmented quite easily; especially when
multiple threads are requesting blocks in parallel.
Sort each thin device's deferred_bio_list based on logical sector to
help reduce fragmentation of the thin-pool's ondisk layout.
The following tables illustrate the realized gains/potential offered by
sorting each thin device's deferred_bio_list. An "io size"-sized random
read of the device would result in "seeks/io" fragments being read, with
an average "distance/seek" between each fragment.
Data was written to a single thin device using multiple threads via
iozone (8 threads, 64K for both the block_size and io_size).

The thin-pool previously only had a single deferred_bios list that would
collect bios for all thin devices in the pool. Split this per-pool
deferred_bios list out to per-thin deferred_bios_list -- doing so
enables increased parallelism when processing deferred bios. And now
that each thin device has it's own deferred_bios_list we can sort all
bios in the list using logical sector. The requeue code in error
handling path is also cleaner as a side-effect.

i) by the time DM core calls the postsuspend hook the dm_noflush flag
has been cleared. So the old thin_postsuspend did nothing. We need to
use the presuspend hook instead.
ii) There was a race between bios leaving DM core and arriving in the
deferred queue.
thin_presuspend now sets a 'requeue' flag causing all bios destined for
that thin to be requeued back to DM core. Then it requeues all held IO,
and all IO on the deferred queue (destined for that thin). Finally

Ideally a thin pool would never run out of data space; the low water
mark would trigger userland to extend the pool before we completely run
out of space. However, many small random IOs to unprovisioned space can
consume data space at an alarming rate. Adjust your low water mark if
you're frequently seeing "out-of-data-space" mode.
Before this fix, if data space ran out the pool would be put in
PM_READ_ONLY mode which also aborted the pool's current metadata
transaction (data loss for any changes in the transaction). This had a
side-effect of needlessly compromising data consistency. And retry of
queued unserviceable bios, once the data pool was resized, could
initiate changes to potentially inconsistent pool metadata.
Now when the pool's data space is exhausted transition to a new pool
mode (PM_OUT_OF_DATA_SPACE) that allows metadata to be changed but data
may not be allocated. This allows users to remove thin volumes or
discard data to recover data space.
The pool is no longer put in PM_READ_ONLY mode in response to the pool
running out of data space. And PM_READ_ONLY mode no longer aborts the
pool's current metadata transaction. Also, set_pool_mode() will now
notify userspace when the pool mode is changed.

If a thin metadata operation fails the current transaction will abort,
whereby causing potential for IO layers up the stack (e.g. filesystems)
to have data loss. As such, set THIN_METADATA_NEEDS_CHECK_FLAG in the
thin metadata's superblock which:
1) requires the user verify the thin metadata is consistent (e.g. use
thin_check, etc)
2) suggests the user verify the thin data is consistent (e.g. use fsck)
The only way to clear the superblock's THIN_METADATA_NEEDS_CHECK_FLAG is
to run thin_repair.
On metadata operation failure: abort current metadata transaction, set
pool in read-only mode, and now set the needs_check flag.
As part of this change, constraints are introduced or relaxed:
* don't allow a pool to transition to write mode if needs_check is set
* don't allow data or metadata space to be resized if needs_check is set
* if a thin pool's metadata space is exhausted: the kernel will now
force the user to take the pool offline for repair before the kernel
will allow the metadata space to be extended.
Also, update Documentation to include information about when the thin
provisioning target commits metadata, how it handles metadata failures
and running out of space.

Commit b5330655 ("dm thin: handle metadata failures more consistently")
increased potential for the pool's mode to be changed in response to
metadata operation failures.
When the pool mode is changed it isn't synchronized with the mode in
pool_features stored in the target's context (ti->private) that is used
as the basis for (re)establishing the pool mode during resume via
bind_control_target.
It is important that we synchronize the pool mode when it is changed
otherwise the pool may experience and unexpected mode transition on the
next resume (especially if there was no new table load).

It was always intended that a user could provide a thin metadata device
that is larger than the max supported by the on-disk format. The extra
space would just go unused.
Unfortunately that never worked. If the user attempted to use a larger
metadata device on creation they would get an error like the following:
device-mapper: space map common: space map too large
device-mapper: transaction manager: couldn't create metadata space map
device-mapper: thin metadata: tm_create_with_sm failed
device-mapper: table: 252:17: thin-pool: Error creating metadata object
device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table
Fix this by allowing the initial metadata space map creation to cap its
size at the max number of blocks supported (DM_SM_METADATA_MAX_BLOCKS).
get_metadata_dev_size() must also impose DM_SM_METADATA_MAX_BLOCKS (via
THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS), otherwise extending metadata would cap at
THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS_WARNING (which is larger than supported).
Also, the calculation for THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS didn't account for
the sizeof the disk_bitmap_header. So the supported maximum metadata
size is a bit smaller (reduced from 33423360 to 33292800 sectors).
Lastly, remove the "excess space will not be used" warning message from
get_metadata_dev_size(); it resulted in printing the warning multiple
times. Factor out warn_if_metadata_device_too_big(), call it from
pool_ctr() and maybe_resize_metadata_dev().

The pool mode must not be switched until after the corresponding pool
process_* methods have been established. Otherwise, because
set_pool_mode() isn't interlocked with the IO path for performance
reasons, the IO path can end up executing process_* operations that
don't match the mode. This patch eliminates problems like the following

dm-thin.c:995 was the WARN_ON_ONCE(get_pool_mode(pool) != PM_READ_ONLY);

The pool's error_if_no_space flag can easily serve the same purpose that
no_free_space did, namely: control whether handle_unserviceable_bio()
will error a bio or requeue it.
This is cleaner since error_if_no_space is established when the pool's
features are processed during table load. So it avoids managing the
no_free_space flag by taking the pool's spinlock.

If the pool runs out of data or metadata space, the pool can either
queue or error the IO destined to the data device. The default is to

Now that we switch the pool to read-only mode when the data device runs
out of space it causes active writers to get IO errors once we resume
after resizing the data device.
If no_free_space is set, save bios to the 'retry_on_resume_list' and
requeue them on resume (once the data or metadata device may have been
resized).
With this patch the resize_io test passes again (on slower storage):
dmtest run --suite thin-provisioning -n /resize_io/

transitions done as part of the pool's -ENOSPC handling. These races

Factor out_of_data_space() out of alloc_data_block(). Eliminate the use
of 'no_free_space' as a latch in alloc_data_block() -- this is no longer
needed now that we switch to read-only mode when we run out of data or

eliminated entirely (in favor of checking metadata rather than relying
on a transient flag).
Move no metdata space handling into metdata_operation_failed(). Set
no_free_space when metadata space is exhausted too. This is useful,
because it offers consistency, for the following patch that will requeue
data IOs if no_free_space.

If a snapshot is created and later deleted the origin dm_thin_device's
snapshotted_time will have been updated to reflect the snapshot's
creation time. The 'shared' flag in the dm_thin_lookup_result struct
returned from dm_thin_find_block() is an approximation based on
snapshotted_time -- this is done to avoid 0(n), or worse, time
complexity. In this case, the shared flag would be true.
But because the 'shared' flag reflects an approximation a block can be
incorrectly assumed to be shared (e.g. false positive for 'shared'
because the snapshot no longer exists). This could result in discards
issued to a thin device not being passed down to the pool's underlying
data device.
To fix this we double check that a thin block is really still in-use
after a mapping is removed using dm_pool_block_is_used(). If the
reference count for a block is now zero the discard is allowed to be
passed down.
Also add a 'definitely_not_shared' member to the dm_thin_new_mapping
structure -- reflects that the 'shared' flag in the response from
dm_thin_find_block() can only be held as definitive if false is
returned.

This adds a generic mechanism for chaining bio completions. This is
going to be used for a bio_split() replacement, and it turns out to be
very useful in a fair amount of driver code - a fair number of drivers
were implementing this in their own roundabout ways, often painfully.
Note that this means it's no longer to call bio_endio() more than once
on the same bio! This can cause problems for drivers that save/restore
bi_end_io. Arguably they shouldn't be saving/restoring bi_end_io at all
- in all but the simplest cases they'd be better off just cloning the
bio, and immutable biovecs is making bio cloning cheaper. But for now,
we add a bio_endio_nodec() for these cases.

Fix issue where the block layer would stack the discard limits of the
pool's data device even if the "ignore_discard" pool feature was
specified.
The pool and thin device(s) still had discards disabled because the
QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD request_queue flag wasn't set. But to avoid user
confusion when "ignore_discard" is used: both the pool device and the
thin device(s) have zeroes for all discard limits.
Also, always set discard_zeroes_data_unsupported in targets because they
should never advertise the 'discard_zeroes_data' capability (even if the
pool's data device supports it).

If pool has 'no_free_space' set it means a previous allocation already
determined the pool has no free space (and failed that allocation with
-ENOSPC). By always returning -ENOSPC if 'no_free_space' is set, we do
not allow the pool to oscillate between allocating blocks and then not.
But a side-effect of this determinism is that if a user wants to be able
to allocate new blocks they'll need to reload the pool's table (to clear
the 'no_free_space' flag). This reload will happen automatically if the
pool's data volume is resized. But if the user takes action to free a
lot of space by deleting snapshot volumes, etc the pool will no longer
allow data allocations to continue without an intervening table reload.

Do not blindly override the queue limits (specifically io_min and
io_opt). Allow traditional stacking of these limits if io_opt is a
factor of the thin-pool's data block size.
Without this patch mkfs.xfs does not recognize the thin device's
provided limits as a useful geometry (e.g. raid) so these hints are
ignored. This was due to setting io_min to a useless value.

Fix detection of the need to resize the dm thin metadata device.

If a thin pool is created in read-only-metadata mode then only open the
metadata device read-only.
Previously it was always opened with FMODE_READ | FMODE_WRITE.
(Note that dm_get_device() still allows read-only dm devices to be used
read-write at the moment: If I create a read-only linear device for the
metadata, via dmsetup load --readonly, then I can still create a rw pool
out of it.)

Fix a discard granularity calculation to work for non power of 2 block sizes.
In order for thinp to passdown discard bios to the underlying data
device, the data device must have a discard granularity that is a
factor of the thinp block size. Originally this check was done by
using bitops since the block_size was known to be a power of two.

Fix a bug in dm_btree_remove that could leave leaf values with incorrect
reference counts. The effect of this was that removal of a shared block
could result in the space maps thinking the block was no longer used.
More concretely, if you have a thin device and a snapshot of it, sending
a discard to a shared region of the thin could corrupt the snapshot.
Thinp uses a 2-level nested btree to store it's mappings. This first
level is indexed by thin device, and the second level by logical
block.
Often when we're removing an entry in this mapping tree we need to
rebalance nodes, which can involve shadowing them, possibly creating a
copy if the block is shared. If we do create a copy then children of
that node need to have their reference counts incremented. In this
way reference counts percolate down the tree as shared trees diverge.
The rebalance functions were incrementing the children at the
appropriate time, but they were always assuming the children were
internal nodes. This meant the leaf values (in our case packed
block/flags entries) were not being incremented.

This patch takes advantage of the new bio-prison interface where the
memory is now passed in rather than using a mempool in bio-prison.
This allows the map function to avoid performing potentially-blocking
allocations that could lead to deadlocks: We want to avoid the cell
allocation that is done in bio_detain.
(The potential for mempool deadlocks still remains in other functions
that use bio_detain.)

Change the dm_bio_prison interface so that instead of allocating memory
internally, dm_bio_detain is supplied with a pre-allocated cell each
time it is called.
This enables a subsequent patch to move the allocation of the struct
dm_bio_prison_cell outside the thin target's mapping function so it can
no longer block there.

This patch allows the administrator to reduce the rate at which kcopyd
issues I/O.
Each module that uses kcopyd acquires a throttle parameter that can be
set in /sys/module/*/parameters.
We maintain a history of kcopyd usage by each module in the variables
io_period and total_period in struct dm_kcopyd_throttle. The actual
kcopyd activity is calculated as a percentage of time equal to
"(100 * io_period / total_period)". This is compared with the user-defined
throttle percentage threshold and if it is exceeded, we sleep.
