57cba5d365 dm: rename map_info flush_request to target_request_nr
'target_request_nr' is a more generic name that reflects the fact that

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.

c241104506 dm snapshot: test chunk size against both origin and snapshot
Validate chunk size against both origin and snapshot sector size

Don't allow chunk size smaller than either origin or snapshot logical
sector size. Reading or writing data not aligned to sector size is not
allowed and causes immediate errors.

This requires us to open the origin before initialising the
exception store and to export dm_snap_origin.

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.)

8e87b9b81b dm snapshot: cope with chunk size larger than origin
Under some special conditions the snapshot hash_size is calculated as zero.
This patch instead sets a minimum value of 64, the same as for the

rounddown_pow_of_two(0) is an undefined operation (it expands to shift
by -1).  init_exception_table with an argument of 0 would fail with -ENOMEM.

The way to trigger the problem is to create a snapshot with a chunk size
that is larger than the origin device.

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.

35bf659b00 dm snapshot: avoid having two exceptions for the same chunk
We need to check if the exception was completed after dropping the lock.

After regaining the lock, __find_pending_exception checks if the exception
was already placed into &s->pending hash.

But we don't check if the exception was already completed and placed into
&s->complete hash. If the process waiting in alloc_pending_exception was
delayed at this point because of a scheduling latency and the exception
was meanwhile completed, we'd miss that and allocate another pending
exception for already completed chunk.

It would lead to a situation where two records for the same chunk exist
and potential data corruption because multiple snapshot I/Os to the
affected chunk could be redirected to different locations in the
snapshot.
