      dm array: fix a reference counting bug in shadow_ablock · ed9571f0
      Joe Thornber authored
      
      
      An old array block could have its reference count decremented below
      zero when it is being replaced in the btree by a new array block.
      
      The fix is to increment the old ablock's reference count just before
      inserting a new ablock into the btree.

      dm space map: disallow decrementing a reference count below zero · 5b564d80
      Joe Thornber authored
      The old behaviour, returning -EINVAL if a ref_count of 0 would be
      decremented, was removed in commit f722063e
      
       ("dm space map: optimise
      sm_ll_dec and sm_ll_inc").  To fix this regression we return an error
      code from the mutator function pointer passed to sm_ll_mutate() and have
      dec_ref_count() return -EINVAL if the old ref_count is 0.
      
      Add a DMERR to reflect the potential seriousness of this error.
      
      Also, add missing dm_tm_unlock() to sm_ll_mutate()'s error path.
      
      With this fix the following dmts regression test now passes:
       dmtest run --suite cache -n /metadata_use_kernel/
      
      The next patch fixes the higher-level dm-array code that exposed this
      regression.

      dm stats: initialize read-only module parameter · 76f5bee5
      Mikulas Patocka authored
      
      
      The module parameter stats_current_allocated_bytes in dm-mod is
      read-only.  This parameter informs the user about memory
      consumption.  It is not supposed to be changed by the user.
      
      However, despite being read-only, this parameter can be set on
      modprobe or insmod command line:
      modprobe dm-mod stats_current_allocated_bytes=12345
      
      The kernel doesn't expect that this variable can be non-zero at module
      initialization and if the user sets it, it results in warning.
      
      This patch initializes the variable in the module init routine, so
      that user-supplied value is ignored.

      dm cache: actually resize cache · 08844800
      Vincent Pelletier authored
      Commit f494a9c6
      
       ("dm cache: cache
      shrinking support") broke cache resizing support.
      
      dm_cache_resize() is called with cache->cache_size before it gets
      updated to new_size, so it is a no-op.  But the dm-cache superblock is
      updated with the new_size even though the backing dm-array is not
      resized.  Fix this by passing the new_size to dm_cache_resize().

      dm cache policy mq: fix promotions to occur as expected · af95e7a6
      Joe Thornber authored
      
      
      Micro benchmarks that repeatedly issued IO to a single block were
      failing to cause a promotion from the origin device to the cache.  Fix
      this by not updating the stats during map() if -EWOULDBLOCK will be
      returned.
      
      The mq policy will only update stats, consider migration, etc, once per
      tick period (a unit of time established between dm-cache core and the
      policies).
      
      When the IO thread calls the policy's map method, if it would like to
      migrate the associated block it returns -EWOULDBLOCK, the IO then gets
      handed over to a worker thread which handles the migration.  The worker
      thread calls map again, to check the migration is still needed (avoids a
      race among other things).  *BUT*, before this fix, if we were still in
      the same tick period the stats were already updated by the previous map
      call -- so the migration would no longer be requested.

      dm thin: allow pool in read-only mode to transition to read-write mode · 9b7aaa64
      Joe Thornber authored
      
      
      A thin-pool may be in read-only mode because the pool's data or metadata
      space was exhausted.  To allow for recovery, by adding more space to the
      pool, we must allow a pool to transition from PM_READ_ONLY to PM_WRITE
      mode.  Otherwise, running out of space will render the pool permanently
      read-only.

      dm thin: re-establish read-only state when switching to fail mode · 5383ef3a
      Joe Thornber authored
      
      
      If the thin-pool transitioned to fail mode and the thin-pool's table
      were reloaded for some reason: the new table's default pool mode would
      be read-write, though it will transition to fail mode during resume.
      
      When the pool mode transitions directly from PM_WRITE to PM_FAIL we need
      to re-establish the intermediate read-only state in both the metadata
      and persistent-data block manager (as is usually done with the normal
      pool mode transition sequence: PM_WRITE -> PM_READ_ONLY -> PM_FAIL).

      dm space map metadata: return on failure in sm_metadata_new_block · f62b6b8f
      Mike Snitzer authored
      Commit 2fc48021
      
       ("dm persistent
      metadata: add space map threshold callback") introduced a regression
      to the metadata block allocation path that resulted in errors being
      ignored.  This regression was uncovered by running the following
      device-mapper-test-suite test:
      dmtest run --suite thin-provisioning -n /exhausting_metadata_space_causes_fail_mode/
      
      The ignored error codes in sm_metadata_new_block() could crash the
      kernel through use of either the dm-thin or dm-cache targets, e.g.:

      The dm_round_up function may overflow to zero.  In this case,
      dm_table_create() must fail rather than go on to allocate an empty array
      with alloc_targets().
      
      This fixes a possible memory corruption that could be caused by passing

      dm snapshot: avoid snapshot space leak on crash · 230c83af
      Mikulas Patocka authored
      
      
      There is a possible leak of snapshot space in case of crash.
      
      The reason for space leaking is that chunks in the snapshot device are
      allocated sequentially, but they are finished (and stored in the metadata)
      out of order, depending on the order in which copying finished.
      
      For example, supposed that the metadata contains the following records
      SUPERBLOCK
      METADATA (blocks 0 ... 250)
      DATA 0
      DATA 1
      DATA 2
      ...
      DATA 250
      
      Now suppose that you allocate 10 new data blocks 251-260. Suppose that
      copying of these blocks finish out of order (block 260 finished first
      and the block 251 finished last). Now, the snapshot device looks like
      this:
      SUPERBLOCK
      METADATA (blocks 0 ... 250, 260, 259, 258, 257, 256)
      DATA 0
      DATA 1
      DATA 2
      ...
      DATA 250
      DATA 251
      DATA 252
      DATA 253
      DATA 254
      DATA 255
      METADATA (blocks 255, 254, 253, 252, 251)
      DATA 256
      DATA 257
      DATA 258
      DATA 259
      DATA 260
      
      Now, if the machine crashes after writing the first metadata block but
      before writing the second metadata block, the space for areas DATA 250-255
      is leaked, it contains no valid data and it will never be used in the
      future.
      
      This patch makes dm-snapshot complete exceptions in the same order they
      were allocated, thus fixing this bug.
      
      Note: when backporting this patch to the stable kernel, change the version
      field in the following way:
      * if version in the stable kernel is {1, 11, 1}, change it to {1, 12, 0}
      * if version in the stable kernel is {1, 10, 0} or {1, 10, 1}, change it
        to {1, 10, 2}
      Userspace reads the version to determine if the bug was fixed, so the
      version change is needed.
