A logical volume can map to just part of underlying physical volume.
In this case, it must be treated like a partition.Based on a patch from Alasdair G Kergon.

Allow discards to be passed through to linear mappings if at least one
underlying device supports it. Discards will be forwarded only to
devices that support them.A target that supports discards should set num_discard_requests to
indicate how many times each discard request must be submitted to it.Verify table's underlying devices support discards prior to setting the
associated DM device as capable of discards (via QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD).Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer

Incorrect device area lengths are being passed to device_area_is_valid().
The regression appeared in 2.6.31-rc1 through commit
754c5fc7ebb417b23601a6222a6005cc2e7f2913.With the dm-stripe target, the size of the target (ti->len) was used
instead of the stripe_width (ti->len/#stripes). An example of a
consequent incorrect error message is:device-mapper: table: 254:0: sdb too small for target

Add .iterate_devices to 'struct target_type' to allow a function to be
called for all devices in a DM target. Implemented it for all targets
except those in dm-snap.c (origin and snapshot).(The raid1 version number jumps to 1.12 because we originally reserved
1.1 to 1.11 for 'block_on_error' but ended up using 'handle_errors'
instead.)Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer

Implement barrier support for single device DM devices
This patch implements barrier support in DM for the common case of dm linear
just remapping a single underlying device. In this case we can safely
pass the barrier through because there can be no reordering between
devices.NB. Any DM device might cease to support barriers if it gets
reconfigured so code must continue to allow for a possible
-EOPNOTSUPP on every barrier bio submitted. - agkSigned-off-by: Andi Kleen

Change dm_unregister_target to return void and use BUG() for error
reporting.dm_unregister_target can only fail because of programming bug in the
target driver. It can't fail because of user's behavior or disk errors.This patch changes unregister_target to return void and use BUG if
someone tries to unregister non-registered target or unregister target
that is in use.This patch removes code duplication (testing of error codes in all dm
targets) and reports bugs in just one place, in dm_unregister_target. In
some target drivers, these return codes were ignored, which could lead
to a situation where bugs could be missed.Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka

The new ioctl code passes the wrong file pointer to the underlying device.
No file pointer is available so make a temporary fake one.ioctl_by_bdev() does set_fs(KERNEL_DS) so it's for ioctls originating
within the kernel and unsuitable here. We are processing ioctls that
originated in userspace and mapping them to different devices. Fixing the
existing callers that pass a NULL file struct and consolidating the
fake_file users are separate matters to solve in later patches.Signed-off-by: Milan Broz

Export blkdev_driver_ioctl for device-mapper.
If we get as far as the device-mapper ioctl handler, we know the ioctl is not
a standard block layer BLK* one, so we don't need to check for them a second
time and can call blkdev_driver_ioctl() directly.Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon

We don't know what type sector_t has. Sometimes it's unsigned long, sometimes
it's unsigned long long. For example on ppc64 it's unsigned long with
CONFIG_LBD=n and on x86_64 it's unsigned long long with CONFIG_LBD=n.The way to handle all of this is to always use unsigned long long and to
always typecast the sector_t when printing it.Acked-by: Alasdair G Kergon

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.Let it rip!
