Pull core block IO changes from Jens Axboe:
"The major piece in here is the immutable bio_ve series from Kent, the
rest is fairly minor. It was supposed to go in last round, but
various issues pushed it to this release instead. The pull request
contains:
- Various smaller blk-mq fixes from different folks. Nothing major
here, just minor fixes and cleanups.
- Fix for a memory leak in the error path in the block ioctl code
from Christian Engelmayer.
- Header export fix from CaiZhiyong.
- Finally the immutable biovec changes from Kent Overstreet. This
enables some nice future work on making arbitrarily sized bios
possible, and splitting more efficient. Related fixes to immutable
bio_vecs:
- dm-cache immutable fixup from Mike Snitzer.
- btrfs immutable fixup from Muthu Kumar.
- bio-integrity fix from Nic Bellinger, which is also going to stable"

The cache's policy may have been established using the "default" alias,
which is currently the "mq" policy but the default policy may change in
the future. It is useful to know exactly which policy is being used.
Add a 'real' member to the dm_cache_policy_type structure and have the
"default" dm_cache_policy_type point to the real "mq"
dm_cache_policy_type. Update dm_cache_policy_get_name() to check if
real is set, if so report the name of the real policy (not the alias).

Improve cache_status to emit:
<metadata block size> <#used metadata blocks>/<#total metadata blocks>
<cache block size> <#used cache blocks>/<#total cache blocks>
...
Adding the block sizes allows for easier calculation of the overall size
of both the metadata and cache devices. Adding <#total cache blocks>
provides useful context for how much of the cache is used.
Unfortunately these additions to the status will require updates to
users' scripts that monitor the cache status. But these changes help
provide more comprehensive information about the cache device and will
simplify tools that are being developed to manage dm-cache devices --
because they won't need to issue 3 operations to cobble together the
information that we can easily provide via a single status ioctl.
While updating the status documentation in cache.txt spaces were
tabify'd.

Commit f494a9c6b1b6dd9a9f21bbb75d9210d478eeb498 ("dm cache: cache
shrinking support") broke cache resizing support.
dm_cache_resize() is called with cache->cache_size before it gets
updated to new_size, so it is a no-op. But the dm-cache superblock is
updated with the new_size even though the backing dm-array is not
resized. Fix this by passing the new_size to dm_cache_resize().

This adds a generic mechanism for chaining bio completions. This is
going to be used for a bio_split() replacement, and it turns out to be
very useful in a fair amount of driver code - a fair number of drivers
were implementing this in their own roundabout ways, often painfully.
Note that this means it's no longer to call bio_endio() more than once
on the same bio! This can cause problems for drivers that save/restore
bi_end_io. Arguably they shouldn't be saving/restoring bi_end_io at all
- in all but the simplest cases they'd be better off just cloning the
bio, and immutable biovecs is making bio cloning cheaper. But for now,
we add a bio_endio_nodec() for these cases.

Cache block invalidation is removing an entry from the cache without
writing it back. Cache blocks can be invalidated via the
'invalidate_cblocks' message, which takes an arbitrary number of cblock
ranges:
invalidate_cblocks [<cblock>|<cblock begin>-<cblock end>]*
E.g.
dmsetup message my_cache 0 invalidate_cblocks 2345 3456-4567 5678-6789

"Passthrough" is a dm-cache operating mode (like writethrough or
writeback) which is intended to be used when the cache contents are not
known to be coherent with the origin device. It behaves as follows:
* All reads are served from the origin device (all reads miss the cache)
* All writes are forwarded to the origin device; additionally, write
hits cause cache block invalidates
This mode decouples cache coherency checks from cache device creation,
largely to avoid having to perform coherency checks while booting. Boot
scripts can create cache devices in passthrough mode and put them into
service (mount cached filesystems, for example) without having to worry
about coherency. Coherency that exists is maintained, although the
cache will gradually cool as writes take place.
Later, applications can perform coherency checks, the nature of which
will depend on the type of the underlying storage. If coherency can be
verified, the cache device can be transitioned to writethrough or
writeback mode while still warm; otherwise, the cache contents can be
discarded prior to transitioning to the desired operating mode.

for a shutdown
The code that was trying to do this was inadequate. The postsuspend
method (in ioctl context), needs to wait for the worker thread to
acknowledge the request to quiesce. Otherwise the migration count may
drop to zero temporarily before the worker thread realises we're
quiescing. In this case the target will be taken down, but the worker
thread may have issued a new migration, which will cause an oops when
it completes.

A recent patch to fix the dm cache target's writethrough mode extended
the bio's front_pad to include a 1056-byte struct dm_bio_details.
Writeback mode doesn't need this, so this patch reduces the
per_bio_data_size to 16 bytes in this case instead of 1096.
The dm_bio_details structure was added in "dm cache: fix writes to
cache device in writethrough mode" which fixed commit e2e74d617e ("dm
cache: fix race in writethrough implementation"). In writeback mode
we avoid allocating the writethrough-specific members of the
per_bio_data structure (the dm_bio_details structure included).

The dm-cache writethrough strategy introduced by commit e2e74d617eadc15
("dm cache: fix race in writethrough implementation") issues a bio to
the origin device, remaps and then issues the bio to the cache device.
This more conservative in-series approach was selected to favor
correctness over performance (of the previous parallel writethrough).
However, this in-series implementation that reuses the same bio to write
both the origin and cache device didn't take into account that the block
layer's req_bio_endio() modifies a completing bio's bi_sector and
bi_size. So the new writethrough strategy needs to preserve these bio
fields, and restore them before submission to the cache device,
otherwise nothing gets written to the cache (because bi_size is 0).
This patch adds a struct dm_bio_details field to struct per_bio_data,
and uses dm_bio_record() and dm_bio_restore() to ensure the bio is
restored before reissuing to the cache device. Adding such a large
structure to the per_bio_data is not ideal but we can improve this
later, for now correctness is the important thing.
This problem initially went unnoticed because the dm-cache test-suite
uses a linear DM device for the dm-cache device's origin device.
Writethrough worked as expected because DM submits a *clone* of the
original bio, so the original bio which was reused for the cache was
never touched.

When reading the dm cache metadata from disk, ignore the policy hints
unless they were generated by the same major version number of the same
policy module.
The hints are considered to be private data belonging to the specific
module that generated them and there is no requirement for them to make
sense to different versions of the policy that generated them.
Policy modules are all required to work fine if no previous hints are
supplied (or if existing hints are lost).

We have found a race in the optimisation used in the dm cache
writethrough implementation. Currently, dm core sends the cache target
two bios, one for the origin device and one for the cache device and
these are processed in parallel. This patch avoids the race by
changing the code back to a simpler (slower) implementation which
processes the two writes in series, one after the other, until we can
develop a complete fix for the problem.
When the cache is in writethrough mode it needs to send WRITE bios to
both the origin and cache devices.
Previously we've been implementing this by having dm core query the
cache target on every write to find out how many copies of the bio it
wants. The cache will ask for two bios if the block is in the cache,
and one otherwise.
Then main problem with this is it's racey. At the time this check is
made the bio hasn't yet been submitted and so isn't being taken into
account when quiescing a block for migration (promotion or demotion).
This means a single bio may be submitted when two were needed because
the block has since been promoted to the cache (catastrophic), or two
bios where only one is needed (harmless).
I really don't want to start entering bios into the quiescing system
(deferred_set) in the get_num_write_bios callback. Instead this patch
simplifies things; only one bio is submitted by the core, this is
first written to the origin and then the cache device in series.
Obviously this will have a latency impact.
deferred_writethrough_bios is introduced to record bios that must be
later issued to the cache device from the worker thread. This deferred
submission, after the origin bio completes, is required given that we're
in interrupt context (writethrough_endio).
