d87f4c14f2 dm: implement REQ_FLUSH/FUA support for bio-based dm
This patch converts bio-based dm to support REQ_FLUSH/FUA instead of
now deprecated REQ_HARDBARRIER.

* -EOPNOTSUPP handling logic dropped.

* Preflush is handled as before but postflush is dropped and replaced
  with passing down REQ_FUA to member request_queues.  This replaces
  one array wide cache flush w/ member specific FUA writes.

* __split_and_process_bio() now calls __clone_and_map_flush() directly
  for flushes and guarantees all FLUSH bio's going to targets are zero
`  length.

* It's now guaranteed that all FLUSH bio's which are passed onto dm
  targets are zero length.  bio_empty_barrier() tests are replaced
  with REQ_FLUSH tests.

* Empty WRITE_BARRIERs are replaced with WRITE_FLUSHes.

* Dropped unlikely() around REQ_FLUSH tests.  Flushes are not unlikely
  enough to be marked with unlikely().

* Block layer now filters out REQ_FLUSH/FUA bio's if the request_queue
  doesn't support cache flushing.  Advertise REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA
  capability.

* Request based dm isn't converted yet.  dm_init_request_based_queue()
  resets flush support to 0 for now.  To avoid disturbing request
  based dm code, dm->flush_error is added for bio based dm while
  requested based dm continues to use dm->barrier_error.

Lightly tested linear, stripe, raid1, snap and crypt targets.  Please
proceed with caution as I'm not familiar with the code base.

b1d5552838 dm snapshot: implement merge
Implement merge method for the snapshot origin to improve read
performance.

Without merge method, dm asks the upper layers to submit smallest possible
bios --- one page. Submitting such small bios impacts performance negatively
when reading or writing the origin device.

Without this patch, CPU consumption when reading the origin on lvm on md-raid0
was 6 to 12%, with this patch, it drops to 1 to 4%.

Note: in my testing, it actually degraded performance in some settings, I
traced it to Maxtor disks having problems with > 512-sector requests.
Reducing the number of sectors to /sys/block/sd*/queue/max_sectors_kb to
256 fixed the read performance. I think we don't have to care about weird
disks that actually degrade performance because of large requests being
sent to them.

Don't allow chunk size smaller than either origin or snapshot logical

1e5554c842 dm snapshot: iterate origin and cow devices
Iterate both origin and snapshot devices

iterate_devices method should call the callback for all the devices where
the bio may be remapped. Thus, snapshot_iterate_devices should call the callback
for both snapshot and origin underlying devices because it remaps some bios
to the snapshot and some to the origin.

snapshot_iterate_devices called the callback only for the origin device.
This led to badly calculated device limits if snapshot and origin were placed
on different types of disks.

8a2d528620 dm snapshot: merge consecutive chunks together
s->store->type->prepare_merge returns the number of chunks that can be
copied linearly working backwards from the returned chunk number.

For example, if it returns 3 chunks with old_chunk == 10 and new_chunk
== 20, then chunk 20 can be copied to 10, chunk 19 to 9 and 18 to 8.

Until now kcopyd only copied one chunk at a time.  This patch now copies
the full set at once.

Consequently, snapshot_merge_process() needs to delay the merging of all
chunks if any have writes in progress, not just the first chunk in the
region that is to be merged.

snapshot-merge's performance is now comparable to the original
snapshot-origin target.

3452c2a1eb dm snapshot: avoid allocating exceptions in merge
The snapshot-merge target should not allocate new exceptions because the
intent is to merge all of its exceptions as quickly and safely as
possible.

This patch introduces the snapshot-merge mapping function and updates
__origin_write() so that it doesn't allocate exceptions on any snapshots
that are being merged.

If a write request to a merging snapshot device is to be dispatched
directly to the origin (because the chunk is not remapped or was already
merged), snapshot_merge_map() must make exceptions in other snapshots so
calls do_origin().

515ad66cc4 dm snapshot: rework writing to origin
To track the completion of exceptions relating to the same location on
the device, the current code selects one exception as primary_pe, links
the other exceptions to it and uses reference counting to wait until all
the reallocations are complete.

It is considered too complicated to extend this code to handle the new
snapshot-merge target, where sets of non-overlapping chunks would also
need to become linked.

Instead, a simpler (but less efficient) approach is taken.  Bios are
linked to one exception.  When it completes, bios are simply retried,
and if other related exceptions are still outstanding, they'll get
queued again to wait for another one.

c1f0c183f6 dm snapshot: allow live exception store handover between tables
Permit in-use snapshot exception data to be 'handed over' from one
snapshot instance to another.  This is a pre-requisite for patches
that allow the changes made in a snapshot device to be merged back into
its origin device and also allows device resizing.

The basic call sequence is:

  dmsetup load new_snapshot (referencing the existing in-use cow device)
     - the ctr code detects that the cow is already in use and allows the
       two snapshot target instances to be linked together
  dmsetup suspend original_snapshot
  dmsetup resume new_snapshot
     - the new_snapshot becomes live, and if anything now tries to access
       the original one it will receive -EIO
  dmsetup remove original_snapshot

(There can only be two snapshot targets referencing the same cow device
simultaneously.)

6d45d93ead dm snapshot: sort by chunk size to fix race
Avoid a race causing corruption when snapshots of the same origin have
different chunk sizes by sorting the internal list of snapshots by chunk
size, largest first.
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=182659

For example, let's have two snapshots with different chunk sizes. The
first snapshot (1) has small chunk size and the second snapshot (2) has
large chunk size.  Let's have chunks A, B, C in these snapshots:
snapshot1: ====A====   ====B====
snapshot2: ==========C==========

(Chunk size is a power of 2. Chunks are aligned.)

A write to the origin at a position within A and C comes along. It
triggers reallocation of A, then reallocation of C and links them
together using A as the 'primary' exception.

Then another write to the origin comes along at a position within B and
C.  It creates pending exception for B.  C already has a reallocation in
progress and it already has a primary exception (A), so nothing is done
to it: B and C are not linked.

If the reallocation of B finishes before the reallocation of C, because
there is no link with the pending exception for C it does not know to
wait for it and, the second write is dispatched to the origin and causes
data corruption in the chunk C in snapshot2.

To avoid this situation, we maintain snapshots sorted in descending
order of chunk size.  This leads to a guaranteed ordering on the links
between the pending exceptions and avoids the problem explained above -
both A and B now get linked to C.

8811f46c1f dm snapshot: implement iterate devices
Implement the .iterate_devices for the origin and snapshot targets.
dm-snapshot's lack of .iterate_devices resulted in the inability to
properly establish queue_limits for both targets.

With 4K sector drives: an unfortunate side-effect of not establishing
proper limits in either targets' DM device was that IO to the devices
would fail even though both had been created without error.

Commit af4874e03e ("dm target:s introduce
iterate devices fn") in 2.6.31-rc1 should have implemented .iterate_devices
for dm-snap.c's origin and snapshot targets.

494b3ee7d4 dm snapshot: support barriers
Flush support for dm-snapshot target.

This patch just forwards the flush request to either the origin or the snapshot
device.  (It doesn't flush exception store metadata.)

1e302a929e dm snapshot: move status to exception store
Let the exception store types print out their status through
the new API, rather than having the snapshot code do it.

Adjust the buffer position to allow for the preceding DMEMIT in the
arguments to type->status().

Use DMEMIT in place of snprintf.  This makes it easier later when
other modules are helping to populate our status output.
