<title>dm-mirror: fix a tiny race condition</title>

<id>urn:sha1:829451beaed6165eb11d7a9fb4e28eb17f489980</id>
<content type='text'>
There's a tiny race condition in dm-mirror. The functions queue_bio and
write_callback grab a spinlock, add a bio to the list, drop the spinlock
and wake up the mirrord thread that processes bios in the list.

It may be possible that the mirrord thread processes the bio just after
spin_unlock_irqrestore is called, before wakeup_mirrord. This spurious
wake-up is normally harmless, however if the device mapper device is
unloaded just after the bio was processed, it may be possible that
wakeup_mirrord(ms) uses invalid "ms" pointer.

Fix this bug by moving wakeup_mirrord inside the spinlock.

timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree
over and remove the historical wrapper inlines.

Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary.

Support atomic writes by setting DM_TARGET_ATOMIC_WRITES for the target
type, and also unmasking REQ_ATOMIC from the submitted bio op flags.

<content type='text'>
Some IO will dispatch from kworker with different io_context settings
than the submitting task, we may need to specify a priority to avoid
losing priority.

Add IO priority parameter to dm_io() and update all callers.

Flushing system-wide workqueues is dangerous and will be forbidden.
Use a local workqueue in dm-mpath.c, dm-raid1.c, and dm-stripe.c.
