This patch implements adds nvme-loop which allows to access local devices
exported as NVMe over Fabrics namespaces. This module can be useful for
easy evaluation, testing and also feature experimentation.

To createa nvme-loop device you need to configure the NVMe target to
export a loop port (see the nvmetcli documentaton for that) and then
connect to it using

	nvme connect-all -t loop

which requires the very latest nvme-cli version with Fabrics support.

This patch introduces a implementation of NVMe subsystems,
controllers and discovery service which allows to export
NVMe namespaces across fabrics such as Ethernet, FC etc.

The implementation conforms to the NVMe 1.2.1 specification
and interoperates with NVMe over fabrics host implementations.

Configuration works using configfs, and is best performed using
the nvmetcli tool from http://git.infradead.org/users/hch/nvmetcli.git

,
which also has a detailed explanation of the required steps in the
README file.

Periodic keep-alive is a mandatory feature in NVMe over Fabrics, and
optional in NVMe 1.2.1 for PCIe.  This patch adds periodic keep-alive
sent from the host to verify that the controller is still responsive
and vice-versa.  The keep-alive timeout is user-defined (with
keep_alive_tmo connection parameter) and defaults to 5 seconds.

In order to avoid a race condition where the host sends a keep-alive
competing with the target side keep-alive timeout expiration, the host
adds a grace period of 10 seconds when publishing the keep-alive timeout
to the target.

In case a keep-alive failed (or timed out), a transport specific error
recovery kicks in.

For now only NVMe over Fabrics is wired up to support keep alive, but
we can add PCIe support easily once controllers actually supporting it
become available.

The NVMe over Fabrics library provides an interface for both transports
and the nvme core to handle fabrics specific commands and attributes
independent of the underlying transport.

In addition, the fabrics library adds a misc device interface that allow
actually creating a fabrics controller, as we can't just autodiscover
it like in the PCI case.  The nvme-cli utility has been enhanced to use
this interface to support fabric connect and discovery.

NVMe over fabrics will use __nvme_submit_sync_cmd in the the
transport and require a few tweaks to it.  For that we export it
and add a few more paramters:

1. allow passing a queue ID to the block layer

   For the NVMe over Fabrics connect command we need to able to specify a
   queue ID that we want to send the command on.  Add a qid parameter to
   the relevant functions to enable this behavior.

2. allow submitting at_head commands

   In cases where we want to (re)connect to a controller
   where we have inflight queued commands we want to first
   connect and only then allow the other queued commands to
   be kicked. This will prevents failures in controller resets
   and reconnects.

3. allow passing flags to blk_mq_allocate_request

   Both for Fabrics connect the the keep-alive feature in NVMe 1.2.1 we
   want to be able to use reserved requests.

For larger devices, the array of bitmap page pointers can grow very
large (8000 pointers per TB of storage).

For each activity log transaction, we need to flush the associated
bitmap pages to stable storage. Currently, we just "mark" the respective
pages while setting up the transaction, then tell the bitmap code to
write out all marked pages, but skip unchanged pages.

But one such transaction can affect only a small number of bitmap pages,
there is no need to scan the full array of several (ten-)thousand
page pointers to find the few marked ones.

Instead, remember the index numbers of the few affected pages,
and later only re-check those to skip duplicates and unchanged ones.

We already serialize connection state changes,
and other, non-connection state changes (role changes)
while we are establishing a connection.

But if we have an established connection,
then trigger a resync handshake (by primary --force or similar),
until now we just had to be "lucky".

Consider this sequence (e.g. deployment scenario):
create-md; up;
  -> Connected Secondary/Secondary Inconsistent/Inconsistent
then do a racy primary --force on both peers.

 drbd s0: peer( Primary -> Unknown ) conn( Connected -> Timeout ) pdsk( UpToDate -> DUnknown )

The problem here is that the local promotion happens before the sync handshake
triggered by the remote promotion was completed.  Some assumptions elsewhere
become wrong, and when the expected resync handshake is then received and
processed, we get stuck in a deadlock, which can only be recovered by reboot :-(

Fix: if we know the peer has good data,
and our own disk is present, but NOT good,
and there is no resync going on yet,
we expect a sync handshake to happen "soon".
So reject a racy promotion with SS_IN_TRANSIENT_STATE.

If in a two-primary scenario, we lost our peer, freeze IO,
and are still frozen (no UUID rotation) when the peer comes back
as Secondary after a hard crash, we will see identical UUIDs.

The "rule_nr = 40" chose to use the "CRASHED_PRIMARY" bit as
arbitration, but that would cause the still running (but frozen) Primary
to become SyncTarget (which it typically refuses), and the handshake is
declined.

Fix: check current roles.
If we have *one* current primary, the Primary wins.
(rule_nr = 41)

Since that is a protocol change, use the newly introduced DRBD_FF_WSAME
to determine if rule_nr = 41 can be applied.

If DRBD lost all path to good data,
and the on-no-data-accessible policy is OND_SUSPEND_IO,
all pending and new IO requests are suspended (will block).

If that setting is OND_IO_ERROR, IO will still be completed.
READ to "clean" areas (e.g. on an D_INCONSISTENT device,
and bitmap indicates a block is already in sync) will succeed.
READ to "unclean" areas (bitmap indicates block is out-of-sync),
will return EIO.

If we are already D_DISKLESS (or D_FAILED), we also return EIO.

Unfortunately, on a former R_PRIMARY C_SYNC_TARGET D_INCONSISTENT,
after replication link loss, new WRITE requests still went through OK.

The would also set the "out-of-sync" bit on their way, so READ after
WRITE would still return EIO. Also, the data generation UUIDs had not
been bumped, we would cause data divergence, without being able to
detect it on the next sync handshake, given the right sequence of events
in a multiple error scenario and "improper" order of recovery actions.

The right thing to do is to return EIO for all new writes,
unless we have access to good, current, D_UP_TO_DATE data.

The "established best practices" way to avoid these situations in the
first place is to set OND_SUSPEND_IO, or even do a hard-reset from
the pri-on-incon-degr policy helper hook.

Possibly sequence of events:
SyncTarget is made Primary, then loses replication link
(only path to good data on SyncSource).

Behavior is then controlled by the on-no-data-accessible policy,
which defaults to OND_IO_ERROR (may be set to OND_SUSPEND_IO).

If OND_IO_ERROR is in fact the current policy, we clear the susp_fen
(IO suspended due to fencing policy) flag, do NOT set the susp_nod
(IO suspended due to no data) flag.

But we forgot to call the IO error completion for all pending,
suspended, requests.

While at it, also add a race check for a theoretically possible
race with a new handshake (network hickup), we may be able to
re-send requests, and can avoid passing IO errors up the stack.

When resync is finished, we already call the "after-resync-target"
handler (on the former sync target, obviously), once per volume.

Paired with the before-resync-target handler, you can create snapshots,
before the resync causes the volumes to become inconsistent,
and discard those snapshots again, once they are no longer needed.

It was also overloaded to be paired with the "fence-peer" handler,
to "unfence" once the volumes are up-to-date and known good.

This has some disadvantages, though: we call "fence-peer" for the whole
connection (once for the group of volumes), but would call unfence as
side-effect of after-resync-target once for each volume.

Also, we fence on a (current, or about to become) Primary,
which will later become the sync-source.

Calling unfence only as a side effect of the after-resync-target
handler opens a race window, between a new fence on the Primary
(SyncTarget) and the unfence on the SyncTarget, which is difficult to
close without some kind of "cluster wide lock" in those handlers.

We would not need those handlers if we could still communicate.
Which makes trying to aquire a cluster wide lock from those handlers
seem like a very bad idea.

This introduces the "unfence-peer" handler, which will be called
per connection (once for the group of volumes), just like the fence
handler, only once all volumes are back in sync, and on the SyncSource.

Which is expected to be the node that previously called "fence", the
node that is currently allowed to be Primary, and thus the only node
that could trigger a new "fence" that could race with this unfence.

Which makes us not need any cluster wide synchronization here,
serializing two scripts running on the same node is trivial.

We can avoid spurious data divergence caused by partially-ignored
discards on certain backends with discard_zeroes_data=0, if we
translate partial unaligned discard requests into explicit zero-out.

The relevant use case is LVM/DM thin.

If on different nodes, DRBD is backed by devices with differing
discard characteristics, discards may lead to data divergence
(old data or garbage left over on one backend, zeroes due to
unmapped areas on the other backend). Online verify would now
potentially report tons of spurious differences.

While probably harmless for most use cases (fstrim on a file system),
DRBD cannot have that, it would violate our promise to upper layers
that our data instances on the nodes are identical.

To be correct and play safe (make sure data is identical on both copies),
we would have to disable discard support, if our local backend (on a
Primary) does not support "discard_zeroes_data=true".

We'd also have to translate discards to explicit zero-out on the
receiving (typically: Secondary) side, unless the receiving side
supports "discard_zeroes_data=true".

Which both would allocate those blocks, instead of unmapping them,
in contrast with expectations.

LVM/DM thin does set discard_zeroes_data=0,
because it silently ignores discards to partial chunks.

We can work around this by checking the alignment first.
For unaligned (wrt. alignment and granularity) or too small discards,
we zero-out the initial (and/or) trailing unaligned partial chunks,
but discard all the aligned full chunks.

At least for LVM/DM thin, the result is effectively "discard_zeroes_data=1".

Arguably it should behave this way internally, by default,
and we'll try to make that happen.

But our workaround is still valid for already deployed setups,
and for other devices that may behave this way.

Setting discard-zeroes-if-aligned=yes will allow DRBD to use
discards, and to announce discard_zeroes_data=true, even on
backends that announce discard_zeroes_data=false.

Setting discard-zeroes-if-aligned=no will cause DRBD to always
fall-back to zero-out on the receiving side, and to not even
announce discard capabilities on the Primary, if the respective
backend announces discard_zeroes_data=false.

We used to ignore the discard_zeroes_data setting completely.
To not break established and expected behaviour, and suddenly
cause fstrim on thin-provisioned LVs to run out-of-space,
instead of freeing up space, the default value is "yes".

the receiver of a P_BARRIER needs to issue flushes to all volumes.
We used to do this by calling blkdev_issue_flush(), synchronously,
one volume at a time.

We now submit all flushes to all volumes in parallel, then wait for all
completions, to reduce worst-case latencies on multi-volume resources.

The command line parameter the kernel module uses to communicate the
device minor to userland helper is flawed in a way that the device
indentifier "minor-%d" is being truncated to minors with a maximum
of 5 digits.

But DRBD 8.4 allows 2^20 == 1048576 minors,
thus a minimum of 7 digits must be supported.

Regression introduced with 8.4.5
 drbd: application writes may set-in-sync in protocol != C

Overwriting the same block (LBA) while a former version is still
"in-flight" to the peer (to be exact: we did not receive the
P_BARRIER_ACK for its epoch yet) would wait for the full epoch of that
former version to be acknowledged by the peer.

In synchronous and quasi-synchronous protocols C and B,
this may double the latency on overwrites.

With protocol A, which is supposed to be asynchronous and only wait for
local completion, it is even worse: it would make overwrites
quasi-synchronous, they would be hit by the full RTT, which protocol A
was specifically meant to avoid, and possibly the additional time it
takes to drain the buffers first.

Particularly bad for databases, or anything else that
does frequent updates to the same blocks (various file system meta data).

No impact if >= rtt passes between updates to the same block.

If thinly provisioned volumes are used, during a resync the sync source
tries to find out if a block is deallocated. If it is deallocated, then
the resync target uses block_dev_issue_zeroout() on the range in
question.

As long as the value is 0 the feature is disabled. With setting
it to a positive value, DRBD limits and aligns its resync requests
to the rs-discard-granularity setting. If the sync source detects
all zeros in such a block, the resync target discards the range
on disk.

If during resync we read only zeroes for a range of sectors assume
that these secotors can be discarded on the sync target node.
