bccab6a01a dm cache: switch the "default" cache replacement policy from mq to smq
The Stochastic multiqueue (SMQ) policy (vs MQ) offers the promise of
less memory utilization, improved performance and increased adaptability
in the face of changing workloads.  SMQ also does not have any
cumbersome tuning knobs.

Users may switch from "mq" to "smq" simply by appropriately reloading a
DM table that is using the cache target.  Doing so will cause all of the
mq policy's hints to be dropped.  Also, performance of the cache may
degrade slightly until smq recalculates the origin device's hotspots
that should be cached.

In the future the "mq" policy will just silently make use of "smq" and
the mq code will be removed.

028ae9f76f dm cache: add fail io mode and needs_check flag
If a cache metadata operation fails (e.g. transaction commit) the
cache's metadata device will abort the current transaction, set a new
needs_check flag, and the cache will transition to "read-only" mode.  If
aborting the transaction or setting the needs_check flag fails the cache
will transition to "fail-io" mode.

Once needs_check is set the cache device will not be allowed to
activate.  Activation requires write access to metadata.  Future work is
needed to add proper support for running the cache in read-only mode.

Once in fail-io mode the cache will report a status of "Fail".

Also, add commit() wrapper that will disallow commits if in read_only or
fail mode.

0cf4503174 dm raid: add support for the MD RAID0 personality
Add dm-raid access to the MD RAID0 personality to enable single zone
striping.

The following changes enable that access:
- add type definition to raid_types array
- make bitmap creation conditonal in super_validate(), because
  bitmaps are not allowed in raid0
- set rdev->sectors to the data image size in super_validate()
  to allow the raid0 personality to calculate the MD array
  size properly
- use mdddev(un)lock() functions instead of direct mutex_(un)lock()
  (wrapped in here because it's a trivial change)
- enhance raid_status() to always report full sync for raid0
  so that userspace checks for 100% sync will succeed and allow
  for resize (and takeover/reshape once added in future paches)
- enhance raid_resume() to not load bitmap in case of raid0
- add merge function to avoid data corruption (seen with readahead)
  that resulted from bio payloads that grew too large.  This problem
  did not occur with the other raid levels because it either did not
  apply without striping (raid1) or was avoided via stripe caching.
- raise version to 1.7.0 because of the raid0 API change

0e9cebe724 dm: add log writes target
Introduce a new target that is meant for file system developers to test file
system integrity at particular points in the life of a file system.  We capture
all write requests and associated data and log them to a separate device
for later replay.  There is a userspace utility to do this replay.  The
idea behind this is to give file system developers a tool to verify that
the file system is always consistent.

65ff5b7ddf dm verity: add error handling modes for corrupted blocks
Add device specific modes to dm-verity to specify how corrupted
blocks should be handled.  The following modes are defined:

  - DM_VERITY_MODE_EIO is the default behavior, where reading a
    corrupted block results in -EIO.

  - DM_VERITY_MODE_LOGGING only logs corrupted blocks, but does
    not block the read.

  - DM_VERITY_MODE_RESTART calls kernel_restart when a corrupted
    block is discovered.

In addition, each mode sends a uevent to notify userspace of
corruption and to allow further recovery actions.

The driver defaults to previous behavior (DM_VERITY_MODE_EIO)
and other modes can be enabled with an additional parameter to
the verity table.

Rather than maintaining a separate promote_threshold variable that we
periodically update we now use the hit count of the oldest clean
block.  Also add a fudge factor to discourage demoting dirty blocks.

With some tests this has a sizeable difference, because the old code
was too eager to demote blocks.  For example, device-mapper-test-suite's
git_extract_cache_quick test goes from taking 190 seconds, to 142
(linear on spindle takes 250).

eec40579d8 dm: add era target
dm-era is a target that behaves similar to the linear target.  In
addition it keeps track of which blocks were written within a user
defined period of time called an 'era'.  Each era target instance
maintains the current era as a monotonically increasing 32-bit
counter.

Use cases include tracking changed blocks for backup software, and
partially invalidating the contents of a cache to restore cache
coherency after rolling back a vendor snapshot.

dm-era is primarily expected to be paired with the dm-cache target.

07f2b6e038 dm thin: ensure user takes action to validate data and metadata consistency
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.

6a388618f1 dm cache: add block sizes and total cache blocks to status output
Improve cache_status to emit:
<metadata block size> <#used metadata blocks>/<#total metadata blocks>
<cache block size> <#used cache blocks>/<#total cache blocks>
...

Adding the block sizes allows for easier calculation of the overall size
of both the metadata and cache devices.  Adding <#total cache blocks>
provides useful context for how much of the cache is used.

Unfortunately these additions to the status will require updates to
users' scripts that monitor the cache status.  But these changes help
provide more comprehensive information about the cache device and will
simplify tools that are being developed to manage dm-cache devices --
because they won't need to issue 3 operations to cobble together the
information that we can easily provide via a single status ioctl.

While updating the status documentation in cache.txt spaces were
tabify'd.

78e03d6973 dm cache policy mq: introduce three promotion threshold tunables
Internally the mq policy maintains a promotion threshold variable.  If
the hit count of a block not in the cache goes above this threshold it
gets promoted to the cache.

This patch introduces three new tunables that allow you to tweak the
promotion threshold by adding a small value.  These adjustments depend
on the io type:

   read_promote_adjustment:    READ io, default 4
   write_promote_adjustment:   WRITE io, default 8
   discard_promote_adjustment: READ/WRITE io to a discarded block, default 1

If you're trying to quickly warm a new cache device you may wish to
reduce these to encourage promotion.  Remember to switch them back to
their defaults after the cache fills though.

2ee57d5873 dm cache: add passthrough mode
"Passthrough" is a dm-cache operating mode (like writethrough or
writeback) which is intended to be used when the cache contents are not
known to be coherent with the origin device.  It behaves as follows:

* All reads are served from the origin device (all reads miss the cache)
* All writes are forwarded to the origin device; additionally, write
  hits cause cache block invalidates

This mode decouples cache coherency checks from cache device creation,
largely to avoid having to perform coherency checks while booting.  Boot
scripts can create cache devices in passthrough mode and put them into
service (mount cached filesystems, for example) without having to worry
about coherency.  Coherency that exists is maintained, although the
cache will gradually cool as writes take place.

Later, applications can perform coherency checks, the nature of which
will depend on the type of the underlying storage.  If coherency can be
verified, the cache device can be transitioned to writethrough or
writeback mode while still warm; otherwise, the cache contents can be
discarded prior to transitioning to the desired operating mode.

ed04d98169 dm crypt: add TCW IV mode for old CBC TCRYPT containers
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.

fd2ed4d252 dm: add statistics support
Support the collection of I/O statistics on user-defined regions of
a DM device.  If no regions are defined no statistics are collected so
there isn't any performance impact.  Only bio-based DM devices are
currently supported.

Each user-defined region specifies a starting sector, length and step.
Individual statistics will be collected for each step-sized area within
the range specified.

The I/O statistics counters for each step-sized area of a region are
in the same format as /sys/block/*/stat or /proc/diskstats but extra
counters (12 and 13) are provided: total time spent reading and
writing in milliseconds.  All these counters may be accessed by sending
the @stats_print message to the appropriate DM device via dmsetup.

The creation of DM statistics will allocate memory via kmalloc or
fallback to using vmalloc space.  At most, 1/4 of the overall system
memory may be allocated by DM statistics.  The admin can see how much
memory is used by reading
/sys/module/dm_mod/parameters/stats_current_allocated_bytes

9d0eb0ab43 dm: add switch target
dm-switch is a new target that maps IO to underlying block devices
efficiently when there is a large number of fixed-sized address regions
but there is no simple pattern to allow for a compact mapping
representation such as dm-stripe.

Though we have developed this target for a specific storage device, Dell
EqualLogic, we have made an effort to keep it as general purpose as
possible in the hope that others may benefit.

Originally developed by Jim Ramsay. Simplified by Mikulas Patocka.

c4a3955145 MD: Remember the last sync operation that was performed
MD:  Remember the last sync operation that was performed

This patch adds a field to the mddev structure to track the last
sync operation that was performed.  This is especially useful when
it comes to what is recorded in mismatch_cnt in sysfs.  If the
last operation was "data-check", then it reports the number of
descrepancies found by the user-initiated check.  If it was a
"repair" operation, then it is reporting the number of
descrepancies repaired.  etc.

9092c02d94 DM RAID: Add ability to restore transiently failed devices on resume
DM RAID: Add ability to restore transiently failed devices on resume

This patch adds code to the resume function to check over the devices
in the RAID array.  If any are found to be marked as failed and their
superblocks can be read, an attempt is made to reintegrate them into
the array.  This allows the user to refresh the array with a simple
suspend and resume of the array - rather than having to load a
completely new table, allocate and initialize all the structures and
throw away the old instantiation.

be83651f00 DM RAID: Add message/status support for changing sync action
DM RAID:  Add message/status support for changing sync action

This patch adds a message interface to dm-raid to allow the user to more
finely control the sync actions being performed by the MD driver.  This
gives the user the ability to initiate "check" and "repair" (i.e. scrubbing).
Two additional fields have been appended to the status output to provide more
information about the type of sync action occurring and the results of those
actions, specifically: <sync_action> and <mismatch_cnt>.  These new fields
will always be populated.  This is essentially the device-mapper way of doing
what MD controls through the 'sync_action' sysfs file and shows through the
'mismatch_cnt' sysfs file.

DM RAID:  Add support for MD's RAID10 "far" and "offset" algorithms

Until now, dm-raid.c only supported the "near" algorthm of MD's RAID10
implementation.  This patch adds support for the "far" and "offset"
algorithms, but only with the improved redundancy that is brought with
the introduction of the 'use_far_sets' bit, which shifts copied stripes
according to smaller sets vs the entire array.  That is, the 17th bit
of the 'layout' variable that defines the RAID10 implementation will
always be set.   (More information on how the 'layout' variable selects
the RAID10 algorithm can be found in the opening comments of
drivers/md/raid10.c.)

55ebbb59c1 DM-RAID: Fix RAID10's check for sufficient redundancy
Before attempting to activate a RAID array, it is checked for sufficient
redundancy.  That is, we make sure that there are not too many failed
devices - or devices specified for rebuild - to undermine our ability to
activate the array.  The current code performs this check twice - once to
ensure there were not too many devices specified for rebuild by the user
('validate_rebuild_devices') and again after possibly experiencing a failure
to read the superblock ('analyse_superblocks').  Neither of these checks are
sufficient.  The first check is done properly but with insufficient
information about the possible failure state of the devices to make a good
determination if the array can be activated.  The second check is simply
done wrong in the case of RAID10 because it doesn't account for the
independence of the stripes (i.e. mirror sets).  The solution is to use the
properly written check ('validate_rebuild_devices'), but perform the check
after the superblocks have been read and we know which devices have failed.
This gives us one check instead of two and performs it in a location where
it can be done right.

Only RAID10 was affected and it was affected in the following ways:
- the code did not properly catch the condition where a user specified
  a device for rebuild that already had a failed device in the same mirror
  set.  (This condition would, however, be caught at a deeper level in MD.)
- the code triggers a false positive and denies activation when devices in
  independent mirror sets have failed - counting the failures as though they
  were all in the same set.

The most likely place this error was introduced (or this patch should have
been included) is in commit 4ec1e369 - first introduced in v3.7-rc1.
Consequently this fix should also go in v3.7.y, however there is a
small conflict on the .version in raid_target, so I'll submit a
separate patch to -stable.
