<title>dm: update target status functions to support IMA measurement</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8ec456629d0bf051e41ef2c87a60755f941dd11c</id>
<content type='text'>
For device mapper targets to take advantage of IMA's measurement
capabilities, the status functions for the individual targets need to be
updated to handle the status_type_t case for value STATUSTYPE_IMA.

Update status functions for the following target types, to log their
respective attributes to be measured using IMA.
 01. cache
 02. crypt
 03. integrity
 04. linear
 05. mirror
 06. multipath
 07. raid
 08. snapshot
 09. striped
 10. verity

For rest of the targets, handle the STATUSTYPE_IMA case by setting the
measurement buffer to NULL.

For IMA to measure the data on a given system, the IMA policy on the
system needs to be updated to have the following line, and the system
needs to be restarted for the measurements to take effect.

/etc/ima/ima-policy
 measure func=CRITICAL_DATA label=device-mapper template=ima-buf

The measurements will be reflected in the IMA logs, which are located at:

/sys/kernel/security/integrity/ima/ascii_runtime_measurements
/sys/kernel/security/integrity/ima/binary_runtime_measurements

These IMA logs can later be consumed by various attestation clients
running on the system, and send them to external services for attesting
the system.

The DM target data measured by IMA subsystem can alternatively
be queried from userspace by setting DM_IMA_MEASUREMENT_FLAG with
DM_TABLE_STATUS_CMD.

<id>urn:sha1:6f65985e2636c0b170eade6a72d216632f065e26</id>
<content type='text'>
Remove DM's unneeded NULL tests before calling these destroy functions,
now that they check for NULL, thanks to these v4.3 commits:
3942d2991 ("mm/slab_common: allow NULL cache pointer in kmem_cache_destroy()")
4e3ca3e03 ("mm/mempool: allow NULL `pool' pointer in mempool_destroy()")

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// &lt;smpl&gt;
@@ expression x; @@
-if (x != NULL)
  \(kmem_cache_destroy\|mempool_destroy\|dma_pool_destroy\)(x);
// &lt;/smpl&gt;

<title>dm log userspace base: fix compile warning</title>

<id>urn:sha1:18cc980ac8cf8c727d1f7d581b4576ed64bd78a6</id>
<content type='text'>
This fixes up a compile warning [-Wunused-but-set-variable] - given the
comment in userspace_set_region_sync() the non-reporting of errors is
intentional so the return value can be dropped to make gcc happy.

Also, fix typo in comment.

<title>dm log userspace: split flush_entry_pool to be per dirty-log</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ac1f9ef211d5dd70110fa4bec6e8866b2c3a965e</id>
<content type='text'>
Use a single slab cache to allocate a mempool for each dirty-log.
This _should_ eliminate DM's need for io_schedule_timeout() in
mempool_alloc(); so io_schedule() should be sufficient now.

Also, rename struct flush_entry to dm_dirty_log_flush_entry to allow
KMEM_CACHE() to create a meaningful global name for the slab cache.

Also, eliminate some holes in struct log_c by rearranging members.

To be future-proof and for better readability the time comparisons are modified
to use time_in_range() and time_after() instead of plain, error-prone math.

<title>dm log userspace: allow mark requests to piggyback on flush requests</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5066a4df1f427faac8372d20494483bb09a4a1cd</id>
<content type='text'>
In the cluster evironment, cluster write has poor performance because
userspace_flush() has to contact a userspace program (cmirrord) for
clear/mark/flush requests.  But both mark and flush requests require
cmirrord to communicate the message to all the cluster nodes for each
flush call.  This behaviour is really slow.

To address this we now merge mark and flush requests together to reduce
the kernel-userspace-kernel time.  We allow a new directive,
"integrated_flush" that can be used to instruct the kernel log code to
combine flush and mark requests when directed by userspace.  If not
directed by userspace (due to an older version of the userspace code
perhaps), the kernel will function as it did previously - preserving
backwards compatibility.  Additionally, flush requests are performed
lazily when only clear requests exist.
