This commit introduces a new ioctl DM_GET_TARGET_VERSION. It will load a
target that is specified in the "name" entry in the parameter structure
and return its version.
This functionality is intended to be used by cryptsetup, so that it can
query kernel capabilities before activating the device.

Currently, if we pass too high sector number to dm_table_find_target, it
returns zeroed dm_target structure and callers test if the structure is
zeroed with the macro dm_target_is_valid.
However, returning NULL is common practice to indicate errors.
This patch refactors the dm code, so that dm_table_find_target returns
NULL and its callers test the returned value for NULL. The macro
dm_target_is_valid is deleted. In alloc_targets, we no longer allocate an
extra zeroed target.

The dm_early_create() function (which deals with "dm-mod.create=" kernel
command line option) calls dm_hash_insert() who gets an extra reference
to the md object.
In case of failure, this reference wasn't being released, causing
dm_destroy() to hang, thus hanging the whole boot process.
Fix this by calling __hash_remove() in the error path.

Add a "create" module parameter, which allows device-mapper targets to
be configured at boot time. This enables early use of DM targets in the
boot process (as the root device or otherwise) without the need of an
initramfs.
The syntax used in the boot param is based on the concise format from
the dmsetup tool to follow the rule of least surprise:
dmsetup table --concise /dev/mapper/lroot
Which is:
dm-mod.create=<name>,<uuid>,<minor>,<flags>,<table>[,<table>+][;<name>,<uuid>,<minor>,<flags>,<table>[,<table>+]+]
Where,
<name> ::= The device name.
<uuid> ::= xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx | ""
<minor> ::= The device minor number | ""
<flags> ::= "ro" | "rw"
<table> ::= <start_sector> <num_sectors> <target_type> <target_args>
<target_type> ::= "verity" | "linear" | ...
For example, the following could be added in the boot parameters:
dm-mod.create="lroot,,,rw, 0 4096 linear 98:16 0, 4096 4096 linear 98:32 0" root=/dev/dm-0
Only the targets that were tested are allowed and the ones that don't
change any block device when the device is create as read-only. For
example, mirror and cache targets are not allowed. The rationale behind
this is that if the user makes a mistake, choosing the wrong device to
be the mirror or the cache can corrupt data.
The only targets initially allowed are:
* crypt
* delay
* linear
* snapshot-origin
* striped
* verity

In copy_params(), the struct 'dm_ioctl' is first copied from the user
space buffer 'user' to 'param_kernel' and the field 'data_size' is
checked against 'minimum_data_size' (size of 'struct dm_ioctl' payload
up to its 'data' member). If the check fails, an error code EINVAL will be
returned. Otherwise, param_kernel->data_size is used to do a second copy,
which copies from the same user-space buffer to 'dmi'. After the second
copy, only 'dmi->data_size' is checked against 'param_kernel->data_size'.
Given that the buffer 'user' resides in the user space, a malicious
user-space process can race to change the content in the buffer between
the two copies. This way, the attacker can inject inconsistent data
into 'dmi' (versus previously validated 'param_kernel').
Fix redundant copying of 'minimum_data_size' from user-space buffer by
using the first copy stored in 'param_kernel'. Also remove the
'data_size' check after the second copy because it is now unnecessary.

For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't

The size of struct dm_name_list is different on 32-bit and 64-bit
kernels (so "(nl + 1)" differs between 32-bit and 64-bit kernels).
This mismatch caused some harmless difference in padding when using 32-bit
or 64-bit kernel. Commit 23d70c5e52 ("dm ioctl: report event number in
DM_LIST_DEVICES") added reporting event number in the output of
DM_LIST_DEVICES_CMD. This difference in padding makes it impossible for
userspace to determine the location of the event number (the location
would be different when running on 32-bit and 64-bit kernels).
Fix the padding by using offsetof(struct dm_name_list, name) instead of
sizeof(struct dm_name_list) to determine the location of entries.
Also, the ioctl version number is incremented to 37 so that userspace
can use the version number to determine that the event number is present
and correctly located.
In addition, a global event is now raised when a DM device is created,
removed, renamed or when table is swapped, so that the user can monitor
for device changes.

Fix is to only initialize the request_queue on the initial table load
(when the mapped_device type is assigned).
This is better than having dm_init_request_based_blk_mq_queue() return
early if the queue was already initialized because it elevates the
constraint to a more meaningful location in DM core. As such the

Rename dm_internal_{suspend,resume} to dm_internal_{suspend,resume}_fast

suspend/resume logic that is not needed in order to quickly flush IO.
Introduce dm_internal_suspend_noflush() variant that actually calls the
mapped_device's target callbacks -- otherwise target-specific hooks are
avoided (e.g. dm-thin's thin_presuspend and thin_postsuspend). Common
code between dm_internal_{suspend_noflush,resume} and
dm_{suspend,resume} was factored out as __dm_{suspend,resume}.
Update dm_internal_{suspend_noflush,resume} to always take and release
the mapped_device's suspend_lock. Also update dm_{suspend,resume} to be
aware of potential for DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG to be set and respond
accordingly by interruptibly waiting for the DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG to
be cleared. Add lockdep annotation to dm_suspend() and dm_resume().
The existing DM_SUSPEND_FLAG remains unchanged.
DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG is set by dm_internal_suspend_noflush() and
cleared by dm_internal_resume().
Both DM_SUSPEND_FLAG and DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG may be set if a device
was already suspended when dm_internal_suspend_noflush() was called --
this can be thought of as a "nested suspend". A "nested suspend" can
occur with legacy userspace dm-thin code that might suspend all active
thin volumes before suspending the pool for resize.
But otherwise, in the normal dm-thin-pool suspend case moving forward:
the thin-pool will have DM_SUSPEND_FLAG set and all active thins from
that thin-pool will have DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG set.
Also add DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG to status report. This new
DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG state is being reported to assist with
debugging (e.g. 'dmsetup info' will report an internally suspended
device accordingly).

Until this change, when loading a new DM table, DM core would re-open
all of the devices in the DM table. Now, DM core will avoid redundant
device opens (and closes when destroying the old table) if the old
table already has a device open using the same mode. This is achieved
by managing reference counts on the table_devices that DM core now
stores in the mapped_device structure (rather than in the dm_table
structure). So a mapped_device's active and inactive dm_tables' dm_dev
lists now just point to the dm_devs stored in the mapped_device's
table_devices list.
This improvement in DM core's device reference counting has the
side-effect of fixing a long-standing limitation of the multipath
target: a DM multipath table couldn't include any paths that were unusable
(failed). For example: if all paths have failed and you add a new,
working, path to the table; you can't use it since the table load would
fail due to it still containing failed paths. Now a re-load of a
multipath table can include failed devices and when those devices become
active again they can be used instantly.
The device list code in dm.c isn't a straight copy/paste from the code in
dm-table.c, but it's very close (aside from some variable renames). One
subtle difference is that find_table_device for the tables_devices list
will only match devices with the same name and mode. This is because we
don't want to upgrade a device's mode in the active table when an
inactive table is loaded.
Access to the mapped_device structure's tables_devices list requires a
mutex (tables_devices_lock), so that tables cannot be created and
destroyed concurrently.

The deferred remove functionality is enabled by setting the flag

DM_REMOVE_ALL ioctl.
On return from DM_DEV_REMOVE, the flag DM_DEFERRED_REMOVE indicates if
the device was removed immediately or flagged to be removed on close -
if the flag is clear, the device was removed.
On return from DM_DEV_STATUS and other ioctls, the flag
DM_DEFERRED_REMOVE is set if the device is scheduled to be removed on
closure.
A device that is scheduled to be deleted can be revived using the
message "@cancel_deferred_remove". This message clears the

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

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

This patch recognises the specific ioctls that do not use the variable
part of the buffer and skips allocating memory for it.
In particular, when a device is suspended and a resume ioctl is sent,
this now avoid memory allocation completely.
The variable "struct dm_ioctl tmp" is moved from the function
copy_params to its caller ctl_ioctl and renamed to param_kernel.
It is used directly when the ioctl function doesn't need any arguments.

This patch introduces flags for each ioctl function.
So far, one flag is defined, IOCTL_FLAGS_NO_PARAMS. It is set if the
function processing the ioctl doesn't take or produce any parameters in
the section of the data buffer that has a variable size.

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.

If the parameter buffer is small enough, try to allocate it with kmalloc()
rather than vmalloc().
vmalloc is noticeably slower than kmalloc because it has to manipulate
page tables.
In my tests, on PA-RISC this patch speeds up activation 13 times.
On Opteron this patch speeds up activation by 5%.
This patch introduces a new function free_params() to free the
parameters and this uses new flags that record whether or not vmalloc()
was used and whether or not the input buffer must be wiped after use.

Abort dm ioctl processing if userspace changes the data_size parameter
after we validated it but before we finished copying the data buffer
from userspace.
The dm ioctl parameters are processed in the following sequence:
1. ctl_ioctl() calls copy_params();
2. copy_params() makes a first copy of the fixed-sized portion of the
userspace parameters into the local variable "tmp";
3. copy_params() then validates tmp.data_size and allocates a new
structure big enough to hold the complete data and copies the whole
userspace buffer there;
4. ctl_ioctl() reads userspace data the second time and copies the whole
buffer into the pointer "param";
5. ctl_ioctl() reads param->data_size without any validation and stores it
in the variable "input_param_size";
6. "input_param_size" is further used as the authoritative size of the
kernel buffer.
The problem is that userspace code could change the contents of user
memory between steps 2 and 4. In particular, the data_size parameter
can be changed to an invalid value after the kernel has validated it.
This lets userspace force the kernel to access invalid kernel memory.
The fix is to ensure that the size has not changed at step 4.
This patch shouldn't have a security impact because CAP_SYS_ADMIN is
required to run this code, but it should be fixed anyway.

Commit outstanding metadata before returning the status for a dm thin
pool so that the numbers reported are as up-to-date as possible.
The commit is not performed if the device is suspended or if
the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG is supplied by userspace and passed to the target
through a new 'status_flags' parameter in the target's dm_status_fn.
The userspace dmsetup tool will support the --noflush flag with the
'dmsetup status' and 'dmsetup wait' commands from version 1.02.76
onwards.
