0b60be1628 dm: Constify struct dm_block_validator
'struct dm_block_validator' are not modified in these drivers.

Constifying this structure moves some data to a read-only section, so
increase overall security.

On a x86_64, with allmodconfig, as an example:

Before:

  32047	    920	     16	  32983	   80d7	drivers/md/dm-cache-metadata.o

After:
=====
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename

0a94a469a4 dm: stop using blk_limits_io_{min,opt}
Remove use of the blk_limits_io_{min,opt} and assign the values directly
to the queue_limits structure.  For the io_opt this is a completely
mechanical change, for io_min it removes flooring the limit to the
physical and logical block size in the particular caller.  But as
blk_validate_limits will do the same later when actually applying the
limits, there still is no change in overall behavior.

9ae6e8b1c9 dm era: commit metadata in postsuspend after worker stops
During postsuspend dm-era does the following:

1. Archives the current era
2. Commits the metadata, as part of the RPC call for archiving the
   current era
3. Stops the worker

Until the worker stops, it might write to the metadata again. Moreover,
these writes are not flushed to disk immediately, but are cached by the
dm-bufio client, which writes them back asynchronously.

As a result, the committed metadata of a suspended dm-era device might
not be consistent with the in-core metadata.

In some cases, this can result in the corruption of the on-disk
metadata. Suppose the following sequence of events:

1. Load a new table, e.g. a snapshot-origin table, to a device with a
   dm-era table
2. Suspend the device
3. dm-era commits its metadata, but the worker does a few more metadata
   writes until it stops, as part of digesting an archived writeset
4. These writes are cached by the dm-bufio client
5. Load the dm-era table to another device.
6. The new instance of the dm-era target loads the committed, on-disk
   metadata, which don't include the extra writes done by the worker
   after the metadata commit.
7. Resume the new device
8. The new dm-era target instance starts using the metadata
9. Resume the original device
10. The destructor of the old dm-era target instance is called and
    destroys the dm-bufio client, which results in flushing the cached
    writes to disk
11. These writes might overwrite the writes done by the new dm-era
    instance, hence corrupting its metadata.

Fix this by committing the metadata after the worker stops running.

stop_worker uses flush_workqueue to flush the current work. However, the
work item may re-queue itself and flush_workqueue doesn't wait for
re-queued works to finish.

This could result in the worker changing the metadata after they have
been committed, or writing to the metadata concurrently with the commit
in the postsuspend thread.

Use drain_workqueue instead, which waits until the work and all
re-queued works finish.

8ec456629d dm: update target status functions to support IMA measurement
For device mapper targets to take advantage of IMA's measurement
capabilities, the status functions for the individual targets need to be
updated to handle the status_type_t case for value STATUSTYPE_IMA.

Update status functions for the following target types, to log their
respective attributes to be measured using IMA.
 01. cache
 02. crypt
 03. integrity
 04. linear
 05. mirror
 06. multipath
 07. raid
 08. snapshot
 09. striped
 10. verity

For rest of the targets, handle the STATUSTYPE_IMA case by setting the
measurement buffer to NULL.

For IMA to measure the data on a given system, the IMA policy on the
system needs to be updated to have the following line, and the system
needs to be restarted for the measurements to take effect.

/etc/ima/ima-policy
 measure func=CRITICAL_DATA label=device-mapper template=ima-buf

The measurements will be reflected in the IMA logs, which are located at:

/sys/kernel/security/integrity/ima/ascii_runtime_measurements
/sys/kernel/security/integrity/ima/binary_runtime_measurements

These IMA logs can later be consumed by various attestation clients
running on the system, and send them to external services for attesting
the system.

The DM target data measured by IMA subsystem can alternatively
be queried from userspace by setting DM_IMA_MEASUREMENT_FLAG with
DM_TABLE_STATUS_CMD.

be500ed721 dm space maps: improve performance with inc/dec on ranges of blocks
When we break sharing on btree nodes we typically need to increment
the reference counts to every value held in the node.  This can
cause a lot of repeated calls to the space maps.  Fix this by changing
the interface to the space map inc/dec methods to take ranges of
adjacent blocks to be operated on.

For installations that are using a lot of snapshots this will reduce
cpu overhead of fundamental operations such as provisioning a new block,
or deleting a snapshot, by as much as 10 times.

cca2c6aebe dm era: only resize metadata in preresume
Metadata resize shouldn't happen in the ctr. The ctr loads a temporary
(inactive) table that will only become active upon resume. That is why
resize should always be done in terms of resume. Otherwise a load (ctr)
whose inactive table never becomes active will incorrectly resize the
metadata.

Also, perform the resize directly in preresume, instead of using the
worker to do it.

The worker might run other metadata operations, e.g., it could start
digestion, before resizing the metadata. These operations will end up
using the old size.

This could lead to errors, like:

  device-mapper: era: metadata_digest_transcribe_writeset: dm_array_set_value failed
  device-mapper: era: process_old_eras: digest step failed, stopping digestion

The reason of the above error is that the worker started the digestion
of the archived writeset using the old, larger size.

As a result, metadata_digest_transcribe_writeset tried to write beyond
the end of the era array.

2524933307 dm era: Reinitialize bitset cache before digesting a new writeset
In case of devices with at most 64 blocks, the digestion of consecutive
eras uses the writeset of the first era as the writeset of all eras to
digest, leading to lost writes. That is, we lose the information about
what blocks were written during the affected eras.

The digestion code uses a dm_disk_bitset object to access the archived
writesets. This structure includes a one word (64-bit) cache to reduce
the number of array lookups.

This structure is initialized only once, in metadata_digest_start(),
when we kick off digestion.

But, when we insert a new writeset into the writeset tree, before the
digestion of the previous writeset is done, or equivalently when there
are multiple writesets in the writeset tree to digest, then all these
writesets are digested using the same cache and the cache is not
re-initialized when moving from one writeset to the next.

For devices with more than 64 blocks, i.e., the size of the cache, the
cache is indirectly invalidated when we move to a next set of blocks, so
we avoid the bug.

But for devices with at most 64 blocks we end up using the same cached
data for digesting all archived writesets, i.e., the cache is loaded
when digesting the first writeset and it never gets reloaded, until the
digestion is done.

As a result, the writeset of the first era to digest is used as the
writeset of all the following archived eras, leading to lost writes.

Fix this by reinitializing the dm_disk_bitset structure, and thus
invalidating the cache, every time the digestion code starts digesting a
new writeset.

2099b145d7 dm era: Update in-core bitset after committing the metadata
In case of a system crash, dm-era might fail to mark blocks as written
in its metadata, although the corresponding writes to these blocks were
passed down to the origin device and completed successfully.

Consider the following sequence of events:

1. We write to a block that has not been yet written in the current era
2. era_map() checks the in-core bitmap for the current era and sees
   that the block is not marked as written.
3. The write is deferred for submission after the metadata have been
   updated and committed.
4. The worker thread processes the deferred write
   (process_deferred_bios()) and marks the block as written in the
   in-core bitmap, **before** committing the metadata.
5. The worker thread starts committing the metadata.
6. We do more writes that map to the same block as the write of step (1)
7. era_map() checks the in-core bitmap and sees that the block is marked
   as written, **although the metadata have not been committed yet**.
8. These writes are passed down to the origin device immediately and the
   device reports them as completed.
9. The system crashes, e.g., power failure, before the commit from step
   (5) finishes.

When the system recovers and we query the dm-era target for the list of
written blocks it doesn't report the aforementioned block as written,
although the writes of step (6) completed successfully.

The issue is that era_map() decides whether to defer or not a write
based on non committed information. The root cause of the bug is that we
update the in-core bitmap, **before** committing the metadata.

Fix this by updating the in-core bitmap **after** successfully
committing the metadata.

de89afc1e4 dm era: Recover committed writeset after crash
Following a system crash, dm-era fails to recover the committed writeset
for the current era, leading to lost writes. That is, we lose the
information about what blocks were written during the affected era.

dm-era assumes that the writeset of the current era is archived when the
device is suspended. So, when resuming the device, it just moves on to
the next era, ignoring the committed writeset.

This assumption holds when the device is properly shut down. But, when
the system crashes, the code that suspends the target never runs, so the
writeset for the current era is not archived.

There are three issues that cause the committed writeset to get lost:

1. dm-era doesn't load the committed writeset when opening the metadata
2. The code that resizes the metadata wipes the information about the
   committed writeset (assuming it was loaded at step 1)
3. era_preresume() starts a new era, without taking into account that
   the current era might not have been archived, due to a system crash.

To fix this:

1. Load the committed writeset when opening the metadata
2. Fix the code that resizes the metadata to make sure it doesn't wipe
   the loaded writeset
3. Fix era_preresume() to check for a loaded writeset and archive it,
   before starting a new era.

74d46992e0 block: replace bi_bdev with a gendisk pointer and partitions index
This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O.  The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open.  Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).

For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device.  But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.

Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
over the stack.

989f26f5ad dm era: check for a non-NULL metadata object before closing it
era_ctr() may call era_destroy() before era->md is initialized so
era_destory() must only close the metadata object if it is not NULL.

5a32083d03 dm: take care to copy the space map roots before locking the superblock
In theory copying the space map root can fail, but in practice it never
does because we're careful to check what size buffer is needed.

But make certain we're able to copy the space map roots before
locking the superblock.

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.
