[ Upstream commit 9b28a1102efc75d81298198166ead87d643a29ce ]
Fixes:
1. The use of "exceeds" when the opposite of exceeds, falls below,
was meant.
2. Properly speaking, a table can not exceed a threshold.It emphasizes the important point, which is that it is the userspace
daemon's responsibility to check for low free space when a device
is resumed, since it won't get a special event indicating low free
space in that situation.Signed-off-by: mulhern

There are three important fields that indicate the overall health and
status of an array: dev_health, sync_ratio, and sync_action. They tell
us the condition of the devices in the array, and the degree to which
the array is synchronized.This commit fixes a condition that is reported incorrectly. When a member
of the array is being rebuilt or a new device is added, the "recover"
process is used to synchronize it with the rest of the array. When the
process is complete, but the sync thread hasn't yet been reaped, it is
possible for the state of MD to be:
mddev->recovery = [ MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING MD_RECOVERY_RECOVER MD_RECOVERY_DONE ]
curr_resync_completed = (but not MaxSector)
and all rdevs to be In_sync.
This causes the 'array_in_sync' output parameter that is passed to
rs_get_progress() to be computed incorrectly and reported as 'false' --
or not in-sync. This in turn causes the dev_health status characters to
be reported as all 'a', rather than the proper 'A'.This can cause erroneous output for several seconds at a time when tools
will want to be checking the condition due to events that are raised at
the end of a sync process. Fix this by properly calculating the
'array_in_sync' return parameter in rs_get_progress().Also, remove an unnecessary intermediate 'recovery_cp' variable in
rs_get_progress().Signed-off-by: Jonathan Brassow

The dm-zoned device mapper target provides transparent write access
to zoned block devices (ZBC and ZAC compliant block devices).
dm-zoned hides to the device user (a file system or an application
doing raw block device accesses) any constraint imposed on write
requests by the device, equivalent to a drive-managed zoned block
device model.Write requests are processed using a combination of on-disk buffering
using the device conventional zones and direct in-place processing for
requests aligned to a zone sequential write pointer position.
A background reclaim process implemented using dm_kcopyd_copy ensures
that conventional zones are always available for executing unaligned
write requests. The reclaim process overhead is minimized by managing
buffer zones in a least-recently-written order and first targeting the
oldest buffer zones. Doing so, blocks under regular write access (such
as metadata blocks of a file system) remain stored in conventional
zones, resulting in no apparent overhead.dm-zoned implementation focus on simplicity and on minimizing overhead
(CPU, memory and storage overhead). For a 14TB host-managed disk with
256 MB zones, dm-zoned memory usage per disk instance is at most about
3 MB and as little as 5 zones will be used internally for storing metadata
and performing buffer zone reclaim operations. This is achieved using
zone level indirection rather than a full block indirection system for
managing block movement between zones.dm-zoned primary target is host-managed zoned block devices but it can
also be used with host-aware device models to mitigate potential
device-side performance degradation due to excessive random writing.Zoned block devices can be formatted and checked for use with the dm-zoned
target using the dmzadm utility available at:https://github.com/hgst/dm-zoned-tools

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:
- A major update for DM cache that reduces the latency for deciding
whether blocks should migrate to/from the cache. The bio-prison-v2
interface supports this improvement by enabling direct dispatch of
work to workqueues rather than having to delay the actual work
dispatch to the DM cache core. So the dm-cache policies are much more
nimble by being able to drive IO as they see fit. One immediate
benefit from the improved latency is a cache that should be much more
adaptive to changing workloads.- Add a new DM integrity target that emulates a block device that has
additional per-sector tags that can be used for storing integrity
information.- Add a new authenticated encryption feature to the DM crypt target
that builds on the capabilities provided by the DM integrity target.- Add MD interface for switching the raid4/5/6 journal mode and update
the DM raid target to use it to enable aid4/5/6 journal write-back
support.- Switch the DM verity target over to using the asynchronous hash
crypto API (this helps work better with architectures that have
access to off-CPU algorithm providers, which should reduce CPU
utilization).- Various request-based DM and DM multipath fixes and improvements from
Bart and Christoph.- A DM thinp target fix for a bio structure leak that occurs for each
discard IFF discard passdown is enabled.- A fix for a possible deadlock in DM bufio and a fix to re-check the
new buffer allocation watermark in the face of competing admin
changes to the 'max_cache_size_bytes' tunable.- A couple DM core cleanups.

The DM integrity block size can now be 512, 1k, 2k or 4k. Using larger
blocks reduces metadata handling overhead. The block size can be
configured at table load time using the "block_size:" option;
where is expressed in bytes (defult is still 512 bytes).It is safe to use larger block sizes with DM integrity, because the
DM integrity journal makes sure that the whole block is updated
atomically even if the underlying device doesn't support atomic writes
of that size (e.g. 4k block ontop of a 512b device).Depends-on: 2859323e ("block: fix blk_integrity_register to use template's interval_exp if not 0")

Commit 63c32ed4afc ("dm raid: add raid4/5/6 journaling support") added
journal support to close the raid4/5/6 "write hole" -- in terms of
writethrough caching.Introduce a "journal_mode" feature and use the new
r5c_journal_mode_set() API to add support for switching the journal
device's cache mode between write-through (the current default) and
write-back.NOTE: If the journal device is not layered on resilent storage and it
fails, write-through mode will cause the "write hole" to reoccur. But
if the journal fails while in write-back mode it will cause data loss
for any dirty cache entries unless resilent storage is used for the
journal.Signed-off-by: Heinz Mauelshagen

Add optional "sector_size" parameter that specifies encryption sector
size (atomic unit of block device encryption).Parameter can be in range 512 - 4096 bytes and must be power of two.
For compatibility reasons, the maximal IO must fit into the page limit,
so the limit is set to the minimal page size possible (4096 bytes).NOTE: this device cannot yet be handled by cryptsetup if this parameter
is set.IV for the sector is calculated from the 512 bytes sector offset unless
the iv_large_sectors option is used.Test script using dmsetup:

For the new authenticated encryption we have to support generic composed
modes (combination of encryption algorithm and authenticator) because
this is how the kernel crypto API accesses such algorithms.To simplify the interface, we accept an algorithm directly in crypto API
format. The new format is recognised by the "capi:" prefix. The
dmcrypt internal IV specification is the same as for the old format.The crypto API cipher specifications format is:
capi:cipher_api_spec-ivmode[:ivopts]
Examples:
capi:cbc(aes)-essiv:sha256 (equivalent to old aes-cbc-essiv:sha256)
capi:xts(aes)-plain64 (equivalent to old aes-xts-plain64)
Examples of authenticated modes:
capi:gcm(aes)-random
capi:authenc(hmac(sha256),xts(aes))-random
capi:rfc7539(chacha20,poly1305)-randomAuthenticated modes can only be configured using the new cipher format.
Note that this format allows user to specify arbitrary combinations that
can be insecure. (Policy decision is done in cryptsetup userspace.)Authenticated encryption algorithms can be of two types, either native
modes (like GCM) that performs both encryption and authentication
internally, or composed modes where user can compose AEAD with separate
specification of encryption algorithm and authenticator.For composed mode with HMAC (length-preserving encryption mode like an
XTS and HMAC as an authenticator) we have to calculate HMAC digest size
(the separate authentication key is the same size as the HMAC digest).
Introduce crypt_ctr_auth_cipher() to parse the crypto API string to get
HMAC algorithm and retrieve digest size from it.Also, for HMAC composed mode we need to parse the crypto API string to
get the cipher mode nested in the specification. For native AEAD mode
(like GCM), we can use crypto_tfm_alg_name() API to get the cipher
specification.Because the HMAC composed mode is not processed the same as the native
AEAD mode, the CRYPT_MODE_INTEGRITY_HMAC flag is no longer needed and
"hmac" specification for the table integrity argument is removed.Signed-off-by: Milan Broz

sector metadata.HMAC protection is implemented through autenc wrapper (so it is
processed the same way as an authenticated mode).In HMAC mode there are two keys (concatenated in dm-crypt mapping
table). First is the encryption key and the second is the key for
authentication (HMAC). (It is userspace decision if these keys are
independent or somehow derived.)The sector request for AEAD/HMAC authenticated encryption looks like this:
|----- AAD -------|------ DATA -------|-- AUTH TAG --|
| (authenticated) | (auth+encryption) | |
| sector_LE | IV | sector in/out | tag in/out |For writes, the integrity fields are calculated during AEAD encryption
of every sector and stored in bio integrity fields and sent to
underlying dm-integrity target for storage.For reads, the integrity metadata is verified during AEAD decryption of
every sector (they are filled in by dm-integrity, but the integrity
fields are pre-allocated in dm-crypt).There is also an experimental support in cryptsetup utility for more
friendly configuration (part of LUKS2 format).Because the integrity fields are not valid on initial creation, the
device must be "formatted". This can be done by direct-io writes to the
device (e.g. dd in direct-io mode). For now, there is available trivial
tool to do this, see: https://github.com/mbroz/dm_int_toolsSigned-off-by: Milan Broz

The dm-integrity target emulates a block device that has additional
per-sector tags that can be used for storing integrity information.A general problem with storing integrity tags with every sector is that
writing the sector and the integrity tag must be atomic - i.e. in case of
crash, either both sector and integrity tag or none of them is written.To guarantee write atomicity the dm-integrity target uses a journal. It
writes sector data and integrity tags into a journal, commits the journal
and then copies the data and integrity tags to their respective location.The dm-integrity target can be used with the dm-crypt target - in this
situation the dm-crypt target creates the integrity data and passes them
to the dm-integrity target via bio_integrity_payload attached to the bio.
In this mode, the dm-crypt and dm-integrity targets provide authenticated
disk encryption - if the attacker modifies the encrypted device, an I/O
error is returned instead of random data.The dm-integrity target can also be used as a standalone target, in this
mode it calculates and verifies the integrity tag internally. In this
mode, the dm-integrity target can be used to detect silent data
corruption on the disk or in the I/O path.Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka

Add md raid4/5/6 journaling support (upstream commit bac624f3f86a started
the implementation) which closes the write hole (i.e. non-atomic updates
to stripes) using a dedicated journal device.Background:
raid4/5/6 stripes hold N data payloads per stripe plus one parity raid4/5
or two raid6 P/Q syndrome payloads in an in-memory stripe cache.
Parity or P/Q syndromes used to recover any data payloads in case of a disk
failure are calculated from the N data payloads and need to be updated on the
different component devices of the raid device. Those are non-atomic,
persistent updates. Hence a crash can cause failure to update all stripe
payloads persistently and thus cause data loss during stripe recovery.
This problem gets addressed by writing whole stripe cache entries (together with
journal metadata) to a persistent journal entry on a dedicated journal device.
Only if that journal entry is written successfully, the stripe cache entry is
updated on the component devices of the raid device (i.e. writethrough type).
In case of a crash, the entry can be recovered from the journal and be written
again thus ensuring consistent stripe payload suitable to data recovery.Future dependencies:
once writeback caching being worked on to compensate for the throughput
implictions involved with writethrough overhead is supported with journaling
in upstream, an additional patch based on this one will support it in dm-raid.Journal resilience related remarks:
because stripes are recovered from the journal in case of a crash, the
journal device better be resilient. Resilience becomes mandatory with
future writeback support, because loosing the working set in the log
means data loss as oposed to writethrough, were the loss of the
journal device 'only' reintroduces the write hole.Fix comment on data offsets in parse_dev_params() and initialize
new_data_offset as well.Signed-off-by: Heinz Mauelshagen

This fix addresses the following 3 failure scenarios:
1) If a (transiently) inaccessible metadata device is being passed into the
constructor (e.g. a device tuple '254:4 254:5'), it is processed as if
'- -' was given. This erroneously results in a status table line containing
'- -', which mistakenly differs from what has been passed in. As a result,
userspace libdevmapper puts the device tuple seperate from the RAID device
thus not processing the dependencies properly.2) False health status char 'A' instead of 'D' is emitted on the status
status info line for the meta/data device tuple in this metadata device
failure case.3) If the metadata device is accessible when passed into the constructor
but the data device (partially) isn't, that leg may be set faulty by the
raid personality on access to the (partially) unavailable leg. Restore
tried in a second raid device resume on such failed leg (status char 'D')
fails after the (partial) leg returned.Fixes for aforementioned failure scenarios:
- don't release passed in devices in the constructor thus allowing the
status table line to e.g. contain '254:4 254:5' rather than '- -'- emit device status char 'D' rather than 'A' for the device tuple
with the failed metadata device on the status info line- when attempting to restore faulty devices in a second resume, allow the
device hot remove function to succeed by setting the device to not in-syncIn case userspace intentionally passes '- -' into the constructor to avoid that
device tuple (e.g. to split off a raid1 leg temporarily for later re-addition),
the status table line will correctly show '- -' and the status info line will
provide a '-' device health character for the non-defined device tuple.Signed-off-by: Heinz Mauelshagen

Add support for correcting corrupted blocks using Reed-Solomon.
This code uses RS(255, N) interleaved across data and hash
blocks. Each error-correcting block covers N bytes evenly
distributed across the combined total data, so that each byte is a
maximum distance away from the others. This makes it possible to
recover from several consecutive corrupted blocks with relatively
small space overhead.In addition, using verity hashes to locate erasures nearly doubles
the effectiveness of error correction. Being able to detect
corrupted blocks also improves performance, because only corrupted
blocks need to corrected.For a 2 GiB partition, RS(255, 253) (two parity bytes for each
253-byte block) can correct up to 16 MiB of consecutive corrupted
blocks if erasures can be located, and 8 MiB if they cannot, with
16 MiB space overhead.Signed-off-by: Sami Tolvanen

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:
"Smaller set of DM changes for this merge. I've based these changes on
Jens' for-4.4/reservations branch because the associated DM changes
required it.- Revert a dm-multipath change that caused a regression for
unprivledged users (e.g. kvm guests) that issued ioctls when a
multipath device had no available paths.- Include Christoph's refactoring of DM's ioctl handling and add
support for passing through persistent reservations with DM
multipath.- All other changes are very simple cleanups"
* tag 'dm-4.4-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm:
dm switch: simplify conditional in alloc_region_table()
dm delay: document that offsets are specified in sectors
dm delay: capitalize the start of an delay_ctr() error message
dm delay: Use DM_MAPIO macros instead of open-coded equivalents
dm linear: remove redundant target name from error messages
dm persistent data: eliminate unnecessary return values
dm: eliminate unused "bioset" process for each bio-based DM device
dm: convert ffs to __ffs
dm: drop NULL test before kmem_cache_destroy() and mempool_destroy()
dm: add support for passing through persistent reservations
dm: refactor ioctl handling

Commit 76c44f6d80 introduced the possibly for "Overflow" to be reported
by the snapshot device's status. Older userspace (e.g. lvm2) does not
handle the "Overflow" status response.Fix this incompatibility by requiring newer userspace code, that can
cope with "Overflow", request the persistent store with overflow support
by using "PO" (Persistent with Overflow) for the snapshot store type.Reported-by: Zdenek Kabelac
Fixes: 76c44f6d80 ("dm snapshot: don't invalidate on-disk image on snapshot write overflow")

If the user selected the precise_timestamps or histogram options, report
it in the @stats_list message output.If the user didn't select these options, no extra tokens are reported,
thus it is backward compatible with old software that doesn't know about
precise timestamps and histogram.Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka

There is currently no way to see that the needs_check flag has been set
in the metadata. Display 'needs_check' in the cache status if it is set
in the cache metadata.Also, update cache documentation.
