__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".
Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.
This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.
This patch then converts a number of sites
o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.
o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.
o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
flag manipulations.
o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.
The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.
The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

Setting the dm-crypt device's max_segment_size to PAGE_SIZE is an
unfortunate constraint that is required to avoid the potential for
exceeding dm-crypt's underlying device's max_segments limits -- due to
crypt_alloc_buffer() possibly allocating pages for the encryption bio
that are not as physically contiguous as the original bio.
It is interesting to note that this problem was already fixed back in
2007 via commit 91e106259 ("dm crypt: use bio_add_page"). But Linux 4.0
commit cf2f1abfb ("dm crypt: don't allocate pages for a partial
request") regressed dm-crypt back to _not_ using bio_add_page(). But
given dm-crypt's cpu parallelization changes all depend on commit
cf2f1abfb's abandoning of the more complex io fragments processing that
dm-crypt previously had we cannot easily go back to using
bio_add_page().
So all said the cleanest way to resolve this issue is to fix dm-crypt to
properly constrain the original bios entering dm-crypt so the encryption
bios that dm-crypt generates from the original bios are always
compatible with the underlying device's max_segments queue limits.
It should be noted that technically Linux 4.3 does _not_ need this fix
because of the block core's new late bio-splitting capability. But, it
is reasoned, there is little to be gained by having the block core split
the encrypted bio that is composed of PAGE_SIZE segments. That said, in
the future we may revert this change.

- a 4.1-stable fix for dm-cache that fixes the leaking of deferred bio

- a 4.2-stable fix that adds feature reporting for the dm-stats
features added in 4.2
- improve DM-snapshot to not invalidate the on-disk snapshot if
snapshot device write overflow occurs; but a write overflow triggered
through the origin device will still invalidate the snapshot.
- optimize DM-thinp's async discard submission a bit now that late bio
splitting has been included in block core.
- switch DM-cache's SMQ policy lock from using a mutex to a spinlock;
improves performance on very low latency devices (eg. NVMe SSD).
- document DM RAID 4/5/6's discard support

Some of the device mapper targets override the error code returned by
dm_get_device() and return either -EINVAL or -ENXIO. There is nothing
gained by this override. It is better to propagate the returned error
code unchanged to caller.
This work was motivated by hitting an issue where the underlying device
was busy but -EINVAL was being returned. After this change we get
-EBUSY instead and it is easier to figure out the problem.

Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:
(1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
(2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback
The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.
So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

This reverts Linux 4.1-rc1 commit 0618764cb2.
The problem which that commit attempts to fix actually lies in the
Freescale CAAM crypto driver not dm-crypt.
dm-crypt uses CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG. This means the the crypto
driver should internally backlog requests which arrive when the queue is
full and process them later. Until the crypto hw's queue becomes full,
the driver returns -EINPROGRESS. When the crypto hw's queue if full,
the driver returns -EBUSY, and if CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG is set, is
expected to backlog the request and process it when the hardware has
queue space. At the point when the driver takes the request from the
backlog and starts processing it, it calls the completion function with
a status of -EINPROGRESS. The completion function is called (for a
second time, in the case of backlogged requests) with a status/err of 0
when a request is done.
Crypto drivers for hardware without hardware queueing use the helpers,
crypto_init_queue(), crypto_enqueue_request(), crypto_dequeue_request()
and crypto_get_backlog() helpers to implement this behaviour correctly,
while others implement this behaviour without these helpers (ccp, for
example).
dm-crypt (before the patch that needs reverting) uses this API
correctly. It queues up as many requests as the hw queues will allow
(i.e. as long as it gets back -EINPROGRESS from the request function).
Then, when it sees at least one backlogged request (gets -EBUSY), it
waits till that backlogged request is handled (completion gets called
with -EINPROGRESS), and then continues. The references to
af_alg_wait_for_completion() and af_alg_complete() in that commit's
commit message are irrelevant because those functions only handle one
request at a time, unlink dm-crypt.
The problem is that the Freescale CAAM driver, which that commit
describes as having being tested with, fails to implement the
backlogging behaviour correctly. In cam_jr_enqueue(), if the hardware
queue is full, it simply returns -EBUSY without backlogging the request.
What the observed deadlock was is not described in the commit message
but it is obviously the wait_for_completion() in crypto_convert() where
dm-crypto would wait for the completion being called with -EINPROGRESS
in the case of backlogged requests. This completion will never be
completed due to the bug in the CAAM driver.
Commit 0618764cb2 incorrectly made dm-crypt wait for every request,
even when the driver/hardware queues are not full, which means that
dm-crypt will never see -EBUSY. This means that that commit will cause
a performance regression on all crypto drivers which implement the API
correctly.
Revert it. Correct backlog handling should be implemented in the CAAM
driver instead.

a stable@ kernel did pick up commit 0618764cb2 it should get reverted.

I suspect this doesn't show up for most anyone because software
algorithms typically don't have a sense of being too busy. However,
when working with the Freescale CAAM driver it will return -EBUSY on
occasion under heavy -- which resulted in dm-crypt deadlock.
After checking the logic in some other drivers, the scheme for
crypt_convert() and it's callback, kcryptd_async_done(), were not
correctly laid out to properly handle -EBUSY or -EINPROGRESS.
Fix this by using the completion for both -EBUSY and -EINPROGRESS. Now
crypt_convert()'s use of completion is comparable to
af_alg_wait_for_completion(). Similarly, kcryptd_async_done() follows
the pattern used in af_alg_complete().
Before this fix dm-crypt would lockup within 1-2 minutes running with
the CAAM driver. Fix was regression tested against software algorithms
on PPC32 and x86_64, and things seem perfectly happy there as well.

Write requests are sorted in a red-black tree structure and are
submitted in the sorted order.
In theory the sorting should be performed by the underlying disk
scheduler, however, in practice the disk scheduler only accepts and
sorts a finite number of requests. To allow the sorting of all
requests, dm-crypt needs to implement its own sorting.
The overhead associated with rbtree-based sorting is considered
negligible so it is not used conditionally. Even on SSD sorting can be
beneficial since in-order request dispatch promotes lower latency IO
completion to the upper layers.

Make it possible to disable offloading writes by setting the optional

There are some situations where offloading write bios from the
encryption threads to a single thread degrades performance
significantly.
The default is to offload write bios to the same thread because it

Submitting write bios directly in the encryption thread caused serious
performance degradation. On a multiprocessor machine, encryption requests
finish in a different order than they were submitted. Consequently, write
requests would be submitted in a different order and it could cause severe
performance degradation.
Move the submission of write requests to a separate thread so that the
requests can be sorted before submitting. But this commit improves
dm-crypt performance even without having dm-crypt perform request
sorting (in particular it enables IO schedulers like CFQ to sort more
effectively).
Note: it is required that a previous commit ("dm crypt: don't allocate

Fix a theoretical deadlock introduced in the previous commit ("dm crypt:
don't allocate pages for a partial request").
The function crypt_alloc_buffer may be called concurrently. If we allocate
from the mempool concurrently, there is a possibility of deadlock. For
example, if we have mempool of 256 pages, two processes, each wanting
256, pages allocate from the mempool concurrently, it may deadlock in a
situation where both processes have allocated 128 pages and the mempool
is exhausted.
To avoid such a scenario we allocate the pages under a mutex. In order
to not degrade performance with excessive locking, we try non-blocking
allocations without a mutex first and if that fails, we fallback to a
blocking allocations with a mutex.

The DM crypt target accesses memory beyond allocated space resulting in
a crash on 32 bit x86 systems.
This bug is very old (it dates back to 2.6.25 commit 3a7f6c990a "dm
crypt: use async crypto"). However, this bug was masked by the fact
that kmalloc rounds the size up to the next power of two. This bug
wasn't exposed until 3.17-rc1 commit 298a9fa08a ("dm crypt: use per-bio
data"). By switching to using per-bio data there was no longer any
padding beyond the end of a dm-crypt allocated memory block.
To minimize allocation overhead dm-crypt puts several structures into one
block allocated with kmalloc. The block holds struct ablkcipher_request,
cipher-specific scratch pad (crypto_ablkcipher_reqsize(any_tfm(cc))),
struct dm_crypt_request and an initialization vector.
The variable dmreq_start is set to offset of struct dm_crypt_request
within this memory block. dm-crypt allocates the block with this size:
cc->dmreq_start + sizeof(struct dm_crypt_request) + cc->iv_size.
When accessing the initialization vector, dm-crypt uses the function
iv_of_dmreq, which performs this calculation: ALIGN((unsigned long)(dmreq
+ 1), crypto_ablkcipher_alignmask(any_tfm(cc)) + 1).
dm-crypt allocated "cc->iv_size" bytes beyond the end of dm_crypt_request
structure. However, when dm-crypt accesses the initialization vector, it
takes a pointer to the end of dm_crypt_request, aligns it, and then uses
it as the initialization vector. If the end of dm_crypt_request is not
aligned on a crypto_ablkcipher_alignmask(any_tfm(cc)) boundary the
alignment causes the initialization vector to point beyond the allocated
space.
Fix this bug by calculating the variable iv_size_padding and adding it
to the allocated size.
Also correct the alignment of dm_crypt_request. struct dm_crypt_request
is specific to dm-crypt (it isn't used by the crypto subsystem at all),
so it is aligned on __alignof__(struct dm_crypt_request).
Also align per_bio_data_size on ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN, so that it is
aligned as if the block was allocated with kmalloc.

Change dm-crypt so that it uses auxiliary data allocated with the bio.
Dm-crypt requires two allocations per request - struct dm_crypt_io and
struct ablkcipher_request (with other data appended to it). It
previously only used mempool allocations.
Some requests may require more dm_crypt_ios and ablkcipher_requests,
however most requests need just one of each of these two structures to
complete.
This patch changes it so that the first dm_crypt_io and ablkcipher_request
are allocated with the bio (using target per_bio_data_size option). If
the request needs additional values, they are allocated from the mempool.

The DM crypt target used per-cpu structures to hold pointers to a
ablkcipher_request structure. The code assumed that the work item keeps
executing on a single CPU, so it didn't use synchronization when
accessing this structure.
If a CPU is disabled by writing 0 to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/online,
the work item could be moved to another CPU. This causes dm-crypt
crashes, like the following, because the code starts using an incorrect
ablkcipher_request:

Fix this bug by removing the per-cpu definition. The structure
ablkcipher_request is accessed via a pointer from convert_context.
Consequently, if the work item is rescheduled to a different CPU, the
thread still uses the same ablkcipher_request.
This change may undermine performance improvements intended by commit
c0297721 ("dm crypt: scale to multiple cpus") on select hardware. In
practice no performance difference was observed on recent hardware. But
regardless, correctness is more important than performance.

dm-crypt can already activate TCRYPT (TrueCrypt compatible) containers
in LRW or XTS block encryption mode.
TCRYPT containers prior to version 4.1 use CBC mode with some additional
tweaks, this patch adds support for these containers.
This new mode is implemented using special IV generator named TCW
(TrueCrypt IV with whitening). TCW IV only supports containers that are
encrypted with one cipher (Tested with AES, Twofish, Serpent, CAST5 and
TripleDES).
While this mode is legacy and is known to be vulnerable to some
watermarking attacks (e.g. revealing of hidden disk existence) it can
still be useful to activate old containers without using 3rd party
software or for independent forensic analysis of such containers.
(Both the userspace and kernel code is an independent implementation
based on the format documentation and it completely avoids use of
original source code.)
The TCW IV generator uses two additional keys: Kw (whitening seed, size
is always 16 bytes - TCW_WHITENING_SIZE) and Kiv (IV seed, size is
always the IV size of the selected cipher). These keys are concatenated
at the end of the main encryption key provided in mapping table.
While whitening is completely independent from IV, it is implemented
inside IV generator for simplification.
The whitening value is always 16 bytes long and is calculated per sector
from provided Kw as initial seed, xored with sector number and mixed
with CRC32 algorithm. Resulting value is xored with ciphertext sector
content.
IV is calculated from the provided Kiv as initial IV seed and xored with
sector number.
Detailed calculation can be found in the Truecrypt documentation for
version < 4.1 and will also be described on dm-crypt site, see:
http://code.google.com/p/cryptsetup/wiki/DMCrypt
The experimental support for activation of these containers is already
present in git devel brach of cryptsetup.

Some encryption modes use extra keys (e.g. loopAES has IV seed) which
are not used in block cipher initialization but are part of key string
in table constructor.
This patch adds an additional field which describes the length of the
extra key(s) and substracts it before real key encryption setting.
The key_size always includes the size, in bytes, of the key provided
in mapping table.
The key_parts describes how many parts (usually keys) are contained in
the whole key buffer. And key_extra_size contains size in bytes of
additional keys part (this number of bytes must be subtracted because it
is processed by the IV generator).
| K1 | K2 | .... | K64 | Kiv |
|----------- key_size ----------------- |
| |-key_extra_size-|
| [64 keys] | [1 key] | => key_parts = 65
Example where key string contains main key K, whitening key
Kw and IV seed Kiv:
| K | Kiv | Kw |
|--------------- key_size --------------|
| |-----key_extra_size------|
| [1 key] | [1 key] | [1 key] | => key_parts = 3
Because key_extra_size is calculated during IV mode setting, key
initialization is moved after this step.
For now, this change has no effect to supported modes (thanks to ilog2
rounding) but it is required by the following patch.
Also, fix a sparse warning in crypt_iv_lmk_one().

More prep work for immutable bvecs:
A few places in the code were either open coding or using the wrong
version - fix.
After we introduce the bvec iter, it'll no longer be possible to modify
the biovec through bio_for_each_segment_all() - it doesn't increment a
pointer to the current bvec, you pass in a struct bio_vec (not a
pointer) which is updated with what the current biovec would be (taking
into account bi_bvec_done and bi_size).
So because of that it's more worthwhile to be consistent about
bio_for_each_segment()/bio_for_each_segment_all() usage.

Avoid returning a truncated table or status string instead of setting
the DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG when the last target of a table fills the
buffer.
When processing a table or status request, the function retrieve_status
calls ti->type->status. If ti->type->status returns non-zero,
retrieve_status assumes that the buffer overflowed and sets
DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG.
However, targets don't return non-zero values from their status method
on overflow. Most targets returns always zero.
If a buffer overflow happens in a target that is not the last in the
table, it gets noticed during the next iteration of the loop in
retrieve_status; but if a buffer overflow happens in the last target, it
goes unnoticed and erroneously truncated data is returned.
In the current code, the targets behave in the following way:
* dm-crypt returns -ENOMEM if there is not enough space to store the
key, but it returns 0 on all other overflows.
* dm-thin returns errors from the status method if a disk error happened.
This is incorrect because retrieve_status doesn't check the error
code, it assumes that all non-zero values mean buffer overflow.
* all the other targets always return 0.
This patch changes the ti->type->status function to return void (because
most targets don't use the return code). Overflow is detected in
retrieve_status: if the status method fills up the remaining space
completely, it is assumed that buffer overflow happened.

This changes bio_clone() to become bio_clone_bioset(), and then we add
bio_clone() and bio_clone_kmalloc() as wrappers around it, making use of
the functionality the last patch adedd.
This will also help in a later patch changing how bio cloning works.

With the old code, when you allocate a bio from a bio pool you have to
implement your own destructor that knows how to find the bio pool the
bio was originally allocated from.
This adds a new field to struct bio (bi_pool) and changes
bio_alloc_bioset() to use it. This makes various bio destructors
unnecessary, so they're then deleted.

Device mapper uses sscanf to convert arguments to numbers. The problem is that
the way we use it ignores additional unmatched characters in the scanned string.
For example, this `if (sscanf(string, "%d", &number) == 1)' will match a number,
but also it will match number with some garbage appended, like "123abc".
As a result, device mapper accepts garbage after some numbers. For example
the command `dmsetup create vg1-new --table "0 16384 linear 254:1bla 34816bla"'
will pass without an error.
This patch fixes all sscanf uses in device mapper. It appends "%c" with
a pointer to a dummy character variable to every sscanf statement.
The construct `if (sscanf(string, "%d%c", &number, &dummy) == 1)' succeeds
only if string is a null-terminated number (optionally preceded by some
whitespace characters). If there is some character appended after the number,
sscanf matches "%c", writes the character to the dummy variable and returns 2.
We check the return value for 1 and consequently reject numbers with some
garbage appended.

Always set io->error to -EIO when an error is detected in dm-crypt.
There were cases where an error code would be set only if we finish
processing the last sector. If there were other encryption operations in
flight, the error would be ignored and bio would be returned with
success as if no error happened.

This patch fixes a possible deadlock in dm-crypt's mempool use.
Currently, dm-crypt reserves a mempool of MIN_BIO_PAGES reserved pages.
It allocates first MIN_BIO_PAGES with non-failing allocation (the allocation
cannot fail and waits until the mempool is refilled). Further pages are
allocated with different gfp flags that allow failing.
Because allocations may be done in parallel, this code can deadlock. Example:
There are two processes, each tries to allocate MIN_BIO_PAGES and the processes
run simultaneously.
It may end up in a situation where each process allocates (MIN_BIO_PAGES / 2)
pages. The mempool is exhausted. Each process waits for more pages to be freed
to the mempool, which never happens.
To avoid this deadlock scenario, this patch changes the code so that only
the first page is allocated with non-failing gfp mask. Allocation of further
pages may fail.
