Introduce DM_TARGET_IMMUTABLE to indicate that the target type cannot be mixed
with any other target type, and once loaded into a device, it cannot be
replaced with a table containing a different type.The thin provisioning pool device will use this.

Move parameter filling from find_device to __find_device_hash_cell.
This patch causes ioctls using __find_device_hash_cell
(DM_DEV_REMOVE_CMD, DM_DEV_SUSPEND_CMD - resume, DM_TABLE_CLEAR_CMD)
to return device parameters, bringing them into line with the other
ioctls.Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka

Add DM_SECURE_DATA_FLAG which userspace can use to ensure
that all buffers allocated for dm-ioctl are wiped
immediately after use.The user buffer is wiped as well (we do not want to keep
and return sensitive data back to userspace if the flag is set).Wiping is useful for cryptsetup to ensure that the key
is present in memory only in defined places and only
for the time needed.(For crypt, key can be present in table during load or table
status, wait and message commands).Signed-off-by: Milan Broz

kmirrord_wq, kcopyd_work and md->wq are created per dm instance and
serve only a single work item from the dm instance, so non-reentrant
workqueues would provide the same ordering guarantees as ordered ones
while allowing CPU affinity and use of the workqueues for other
purposes. Switch them to non-reentrant workqueues.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

Allow the uuid of a mapped device to be set after device creation.
Previously the uuid (which is optional) could only be set by
DM_DEV_CREATE. If no uuid was supplied it could not be set later.Sometimes it's necessary to create the device before the uuid is known,
and in such cases the uuid must be filled in after the creation.This patch extends DM_DEV_RENAME to accept a uuid accompanied by
a new flag DM_UUID_FLAG. This can only be done once and if no
uuid was previously supplied. It cannot be used to change an
existing uuid.DM_VERSION_MINOR is also bumped to 19 to indicate this interface
extension is available.Signed-off-by: Peter Jones

Determine whether a mapped device is bio-based or request-based when
loading its first (inactive) table and don't allow that to be changed
later.This patch performs different device initialisation in each of the two
cases. (We don't think it's necessary to add code to support changing
between the two types.)Allowed md->type transitions:
DM_TYPE_NONE to DM_TYPE_BIO_BASED
DM_TYPE_NONE to DM_TYPE_REQUEST_BASEDWe now prevent table_load from replacing the inactive table with a
conflicting type of table even after an explicit table_clear.Introduce 'type_lock' into the struct mapped_device to protect md->type
and to prepare for the next patch that will change the queue
initialization and allocate memory while md->type_lock is held.Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer

Add the flag DM_QUERY_INACTIVE_TABLE_FLAG to the ioctls to return
infomation about the loaded-but-not-yet-active table instead of the live
table. Prior to this patch it was impossible to obtain this information
until the device had been 'resumed'.Userspace dmsetup and libdevmapper support the flag as of version 1.02.40.

Add support for passing a 32 bit "cookie" into the kernel with the
DM_SUSPEND, DM_DEV_RENAME and DM_DEV_REMOVE ioctls. The (unsigned)
value of this cookie is returned to userspace alongside the uevents
issued by these ioctls in the variable DM_COOKIE.This means the userspace process issuing these ioctls can be notified
by udev after udev has completed any actions triggered.To minimise the interface extension, we pass the cookie into the
kernel in the event_nr field which is otherwise unused when calling
these ioctls. Incrementing the version number allows userspace to
determine in advance whether or not the kernel supports the cookie.
If the kernel does support this but userspace does not, there should
be no impact as the new variable will just get ignored.Signed-off-by: Milan Broz

Make size of dm_ioctl struct always 312 bytes on all supported
architectures.This change retains compatibility with already-compiled code because
it uses an embedded offset to locate the payload that follows the
structure.On 64-bit architectures there is no change at all; on 32-bit
we are increasing the size of dm-ioctl from 308 to 312 bytes.Currently with 32-bit userspace / 64-bit kernel on x86_64
some ioctls (including rename, message) are incorrectly rejected
by the comparison against 'param + 1'. This breaks userspace
lvrename and multipath 'fail_if_no_path' changes, for example.(BTW Device-mapper uses its own versioning and ignores the ioctl
size bits. Only the generic ioctl compat code on mixed arches
checks them, and that will continue to accept both sizes for now,
but we intend to list 308 as deprecated and eventually remove it.)Signed-off-by: Milan Broz

If you misuse the device-mapper interface (or there's a bug in your userspace
tools) it's possible to end up with 'unlinked' mapped devices that cannot be
removed until you reboot (along with uninterruptible processes).This patch prevents you from removing a device that is still open.
It introduces dm_lock_for_deletion() which is called when a device is about to
be removed to ensure that nothing has it open and nothing further can open it.
It uses a private open_count for this which also lets us remove one of the
problematic bdget_disk() calls elsewhere.Signed-off-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!
