Cache block invalidation is removing an entry from the cache without writing it back. Cache blocks can be invalidated via the 'invalidate_cblocks' message, which takes an arbitrary number of cblock ranges: invalidate_cblocks [<cblock>|<cblock begin>-<cblock end>]* E.g. dmsetup message my_cache 0 invalidate_cblocks 2345 3456-4567 5678-6789 Signed-off-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

Rather than storing the cblock in each cache entry, we allocate all entries in an array and infer the cblock from the entry position. Saves 4 bytes of memory per cache block. In addition, this gives us an easy way of looking up cache entries by cblock. We no longer need to keep an explicit bitset to track which cblocks have been allocated. And no searching is needed to find free cblocks. Signed-off-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

"Passthrough" is a dm-cache operating mode (like writethrough or writeback) which is intended to be used when the cache contents are not known to be coherent with the origin device. It behaves as follows: * All reads are served from the origin device (all reads miss the cache) * All writes are forwarded to the origin device; additionally, write hits cause cache block invalidates This mode decouples cache coherency checks from cache device creation, largely to avoid having to perform coherency checks while booting. Boot scripts can create cache devices in passthrough mode and put them into service (mount cached filesystems, for example) without having to worry about coherency. Coherency that exists is maintained, although the cache will gradually cool as writes take place. Later, applications can perform coherency checks, the nature of which will depend on the type of the underlying storage. If coherency can be verified, the cache device can be transitioned to writethrough or writeback mode while still warm; otherwise, the cache contents can be discarded prior to transitioning to the desired operating mode.

There are now two multiqueues for in cache blocks. A clean one and a dirty one. writeback_work comes from the dirty one. Demotions come from the clean one. There are two benefits: - Performance improvement, since demoting a clean block is a noop. - The cache cleans itself when io load is light.

This patch allows the removal of an open device to be deferred until it is closed. (Previously such a removal attempt would fail.) The deferred remove functionality is enabled by setting the flag DM_DEFERRED_REMOVE in the ioctl structure on DM_DEV_REMOVE or 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 DMF_DEFERRED_REMOVE flag so that the device won't be deleted on close.

If preresume fails it is worth logging an error given that a device is left suspended due to the failure. This change was motivated by local preresume error logging that was added to the cache target ("preresume failed"). Elevating this target-agnostic context for the where the target-specific error occurred relative to the DM core's callouts makes sense.

dm-crypt can already activate TCRYPT (TrueCrypt compatible) containers in LRW or XTS block encryption mode. TCRYPT containers prior to version 4.1 use CBC mode with some additional tweaks, this patch adds support for these containers. This new mode is implemented using special IV generator named TCW (TrueCrypt IV with whitening). TCW IV only supports containers that are encrypted with one cipher (Tested with AES, Twofish, Serpent, CAST5 and TripleDES). While this mode is legacy and is known to be vulnerable to some watermarking attacks (e.g. revealing of hidden disk existence) it can still be useful to activate old containers without using 3rd party software or for independent forensic analysis of such containers. (Both the userspace and kernel code is an independent implementation based on the format documentation and it completely avoids use of original source code.) The TCW IV generator uses two additional keys: Kw (whitening seed, size is always 16 bytes - TCW_WHITENING_SIZE) and Kiv (IV seed, size is always the IV size of the selected cipher). These keys are concatenated at the end of the main encryption key provided in mapping table. While whitening is completely independent from IV, it is implemented inside IV generator for simplification. The whitening value is always 16 bytes long and is calculated per sector from provided Kw as initial seed, xored with sector number and mixed with CRC32 algorithm. Resulting value is xored with ciphertext sector content. IV is calculated from the provided Kiv as initial IV seed and xored with sector number. Detailed calculation can be found in the Truecrypt documentation for version < 4.1 and will also be described on dm-crypt site, see: http://code.google.com/p/cryptsetup/wiki/DMCrypt The experimental support for activation of these containers is already present in git devel brach of cryptsetup.

Some encryption modes use extra keys (e.g. loopAES has IV seed) which are not used in block cipher initialization but are part of key string in table constructor. This patch adds an additional field which describes the length of the extra key(s) and substracts it before real key encryption setting. The key_size always includes the size, in bytes, of the key provided in mapping table. The key_parts describes how many parts (usually keys) are contained in the whole key buffer. And key_extra_size contains size in bytes of additional keys part (this number of bytes must be subtracted because it is processed by the IV generator). | K1 | K2 | .... | K64 | Kiv | |----------- key_size ----------------- | | |-key_extra_size-| | [64 keys] | [1 key] | => key_parts = 65 Example where key string contains main key K, whitening key Kw and IV seed Kiv: | K | Kiv | Kw | |--------------- key_size --------------| | |-----key_extra_size------| | [1 key] | [1 key] | [1 key] | => key_parts = 3 Because key_extra_size is calculated during IV mode setting, key initialization is moved after this step. For now, this change has no effect to supported modes (thanks to ilog2 rounding) but it is required by the following patch. Also, fix a sparse warning in crypt_iv_lmk_one().

The code that was trying to do this was inadequate. The postsuspend method (in ioctl context), needs to wait for the worker thread to acknowledge the request to quiesce. Otherwise the migration count may drop to zero temporarily before the worker thread realises we're quiescing. In this case the target will be taken down, but the worker thread may have issued a new migration, which will cause an oops when it completes.

When pg_init is running no I/O can be submitted to the underlying devices, as the path priority etc might change. When using queue_io for this, requests will be piling up within multipath as the block I/O scheduler just sees a _very fast_ device. All of this queued I/O has to be resubmitted from within multipathing once pg_init is done. This approach has the problem that it's virtually impossible to abort I/O when pg_init is running, and we're adding heavy load to the devices after pg_init since all of the queued I/O needs to be resubmitted _before_ any requests can be pulled off of the request queue and normal operation continues. This patch will requeue the I/O that triggers the pg_init call, and return 'busy' when pg_init is in progress. With these changes the block I/O scheduler will stop submitting I/O during pg_init, resulting in a quicker path switch and less I/O pressure (and memory consumption) after pg_init.

Whenever multipath_dtr() is happening we must prevent queueing any further path activation work. Implement this by adding a new 'pg_init_disabled' flag to the multipath structure that denotes future path activation work should be skipped if it is set. By disabling pg_init and then re-enabling in flush_multipath_work() we also avoid the potential for pg_init to be initiated while suspending an mpath device. Without this patch a race condition exists that may result in a kernel panic: 1) If after pg_init_done() decrements pg_init_in_progress to 0, a call to wait_for_pg_init_completion() assumes there are no more pending path management commands. 2) If pg_init_required is set by pg_init_done(), due to retryable mode_select errors, then process_queued_ios() will again queue the path activation work. 3) If free_multipath() completes before activate_path() work is called a NULL pointer dereference like the following can be seen when accessing members of the recently destructed multipath: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000090 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffffa003db1b>] [<ffffffffa003db1b>] activate_path+0x1b/0x30 [dm_multipath] [<ffffffff81090ac0>] worker_thread+0x170/0x2a0 [<ffffffff81096c80>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x40 [switch to disabling pg_init in flush_multipath_work & header edits by Mike Snitzer] Signed-off-by: Shiva Krishna Merla <shivakrishna.merla@netapp.com> Reviewed-by: Krishnasamy Somasundaram <somasundaram.krishnasamy@netapp.com> Tested-by: Speagle Andy <Andy.Speagle@netapp.com> Acked-by: Junichi Nomura <j-nomura@ce.jp.nec.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

dm-mpath and dm-thin must process messages even if some device is suspended, so we allocate argv buffer with GFP_NOIO. These messages have a small fixed number of arguments. On the other hand, dm-switch needs to process bulk data using messages so excessive use of GFP_NOIO could cause trouble. The patch also lowers the default number of arguments from 64 to 8, so that there is smaller load on GFP_NOIO allocations.
