Fedor Pchelkin 18a839064f dm zoned: free dmz->ddev array in dmz_put_zoned_devices
commit 9850ccd5dd upstream.

Commit 4dba12881f ("dm zoned: support arbitrary number of devices")
made the pointers to additional zoned devices to be stored in a
dynamically allocated dmz->ddev array. However, this array is not freed.

Rename dmz_put_zoned_device to dmz_put_zoned_devices and fix it to
free the dmz->ddev array when cleaning up zoned device information.
Remove NULL assignment for all dmz->ddev elements and just free the
dmz->ddev array instead.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org).

Tushar Sugandhi 8ec456629d dm: update target status functions to support IMA measurement
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.

Shin'ichiro Kawasaki 2d669ceb69 dm table: Fix zoned model check and zone sectors check
Commit 24f6b6036c ("dm table: fix zoned iterate_devices based device
capability checks") triggered dm table load failure when dm-zoned device
is set up for zoned block devices and a regular device for cache.

The commit inverted logic of two callback functions for iterate_devices:
device_is_zoned_model() and device_matches_zone_sectors(). The logic of
device_is_zoned_model() was inverted then all destination devices of all
targets in dm table are required to have the expected zoned model. This
is fine for dm-linear, dm-flakey and dm-crypt on zoned block devices
since each target has only one destination device. However, this results
in failure for dm-zoned with regular cache device since that target has
both regular block device and zoned block devices.

As for device_matches_zone_sectors(), the commit inverted the logic to
require all zoned block devices in each target have the specified
zone_sectors. This check also fails for regular block device which does
not have zones.

To avoid the check failures, fix the zone model check and the zone
sectors check. For zone model check, introduce the new feature flag
DM_TARGET_MIXED_ZONED_MODEL, and set it to dm-zoned target. When the
target has this flag, allow it to have destination devices with any
zoned model. For zone sectors check, skip the check if the destination
device is not a zoned block device. Also add comments and improve an
error message to clarify expectations to the two checks.

Damien Le Moal 174364f6a8 dm zoned: Fix zone reclaim trigger
Only triggering reclaim based on the percentage of unmapped cache
zones can fail to detect cases where reclaim is needed, e.g. if the
target has only 2 or 3 cache zones and only one unmapped cache zone,
the percentage of free cache zones is higher than
DMZ_RECLAIM_LOW_UNMAP_ZONES (30%) and reclaim does not trigger.

This problem, combined with the fact that dmz_schedule_reclaim() is
called from dmz_handle_bio() without the map lock held, leads to a
race between zone allocation and dmz_should_reclaim() result.
Depending on the workload applied, this race can lead to the write
path waiting forever for a free zone without reclaim being triggered.

Fix this by moving dmz_schedule_reclaim() inside dmz_alloc_zone()
under the map lock. This results in checking the need for zone reclaim
whenever a new data or buffer zone needs to be allocated.

Also fix dmz_reclaim_percentage() to always return 0 if the number of
unmapped cache (or random) zones is less than or equal to 1.

Hannes Reinecke 34f5affd04 dm zoned: separate random and cache zones
Instead of lumping emulated zones together with random zones we
should be handling them as separate 'cache' zones. This improves
code readability and allows an easier implementation of different
cache policies.

Also add additional allocation flags, to separate the type (cache,
random, or sequential) from the purpose (eg reclaim).

Also switch the allocation policy to not use random zones as buffer
zones if cache zones are present. This avoids a performance drop when
all cache zones are used.

It also allows for an additional regular drive to be used for

logically in front of the zones from the zoned block device, causing
the superblocks and metadata to be stored on that device.

The first zone of the original zoned device will be used to hold
another, tertiary copy of the metadata; this copy carries a generation
number of 0 and is never updated; it's just used for identification.

After this warning, following refcount API calls for the counter all fail
to change the counter value.

Fix this by setting the initial reference counter value not zero but one
for the new chunk works. Instead, do not call refcount_inc() via
dmz_get_chunk_work() for the new chunks works.

The failure was observed with linux version 5.4 with CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL
enabled. Refcount rework was merged to linux version 5.5 by the
commit 168829ad09 ("Merge branch 'locking-core-for-linus' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip"). After this
commit, CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL was removed and the failure was observed
regardless of kernel configuration.

Linux version 4.20 merged the commit 092b564876 ("dm zoned: target: use
refcount_t for dm zoned reference counters"). Before this commit, dm
zoned used atomic_t APIs which does not check addition to zero, then this
fix is not necessary.

Dmitry Fomichev e7fad909b6 dm zoned: reduce overhead of backing device checks
Commit 75d66ffb48 added backing device health checks and as a part
of these checks, check_events() block ops template call is invoked in
dm-zoned mapping path as well as in reclaim and flush path. Calling
check_events() with ATA or SCSI backing devices introduces a blocking
scsi_test_unit_ready() call being made in sd_check_events(). Even though
the overhead of calling scsi_test_unit_ready() is small for ATA zoned
devices, it is much larger for SCSI and it affects performance in a very
negative way.

Fix this performance regression by executing check_events() only in case
of any I/O errors. The function dmz_bdev_is_dying() is modified to call
only blk_queue_dying(), while calls to check_events() are made in a new
helper function, dmz_check_bdev().

Mikulas Patocka 0c8e9c2d66 dm zoned: fix invalid memory access
Commit 75d66ffb48 ("dm zoned: properly
handle backing device failure") triggers a coverity warning:

The "clone" bio may be processed and freed before the check
"clone->bi_status == BLK_STS_IOERR" - so this check can access invalid
memory.

Dmitry Fomichev 75d66ffb48 dm zoned: properly handle backing device failure
dm-zoned is observed to lock up or livelock in case of hardware
failure or some misconfiguration of the backing zoned device.

This patch adds a new dm-zoned target function that checks the status of
the backing device. If the request queue of the backing device is found
to be in dying state or the SCSI backing device enters offline state,
the health check code sets a dm-zoned target flag prompting all further
incoming I/O to be rejected. In order to detect backing device failures
timely, this new function is called in the request mapping path, at the
beginning of every reclaim run and before performing any metadata I/O.

The proper way out of this situation is to do

dmsetup remove <dm-zoned target>

and recreate the target when the problem with the backing device
is resolved.

Dmitry Fomichev d7428c5011 dm zoned: improve error handling in i/o map code
Some errors are ignored in the I/O path during queueing chunks
for processing by chunk works. Since at least these errors are
transient in nature, it should be possible to retry the failed
incoming commands.

The fix -

Errors that can happen while queueing chunks are carried upwards
to the main mapping function and it now returns DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE
for any incoming requests that can not be properly queued.

Error logging/debug messages are added where needed.

My static checker complains about this line from dmz_get_zoned_device()

	aligned_capacity = dev->capacity & ~(blk_queue_zone_sectors(q) - 1);

The problem is that "aligned_capacity" and "dev->capacity" are sector_t

returns a u32 so the higher 32 bits in aligned_capacity are cleared to

Damien Le Moal d57f9da890 dm zoned: Fix target BIO completion handling
struct bioctx includes the ref refcount_t to track the number of I/O
fragments used to process a target BIO as well as ensure that the zone
of the BIO is kept in the active state throughout the lifetime of the
BIO. However, since decrementing of this reference count is done in the
target .end_io method, the function bio_endio() must be called multiple
times for read and write target BIOs, which causes problems with the
value of the __bi_remaining struct bio field for chained BIOs (e.g. the
clone BIO passed by dm core is large and splits into fragments by the
block layer), resulting in incorrect values and inconsistencies with the
BIO_CHAIN flag setting. This is turn triggers the BUG_ON() call:

BUG_ON(atomic_read(&bio->__bi_remaining) <= 0);

in bio_remaining_done() called from bio_endio().

Fix this ensuring that bio_endio() is called only once for any target
BIO by always using internal clone BIOs for processing any read or
write target BIO. This allows reference counting using the target BIO
context counter to trigger the target BIO completion bio_endio() call
once all data, metadata and other zone work triggered by the BIO
complete.

Overall, this simplifies the code too as the target .end_io becomes
unnecessary and differences between read and write BIO issuing and
completion processing disappear.

Damien Le Moal 114e025968 dm zoned: ignore last smaller runt zone
The SCSI layer allows ZBC drives to have a smaller last runt zone. For
such a device, specifying the entire capacity for a dm-zoned target
table entry fails because the specified capacity is not aligned on a
device zone size indicated in the request queue structure of the
device.

Fix this problem by ignoring the last runt zone in the entry length
when seting up the dm-zoned target (ctr method) and when iterating table
entries of the target (iterate_devices method). This allows dm-zoned
users to still easily setup a target using the entire device capacity
(as mandated by dm-zoned) or the aligned capacity excluding the last
runt zone.

While at it, replace direct references to the device queue chunk_sectors
limit with calls to the accessor blk_queue_zone_sectors().

Christoph Hellwig 74d46992e0 block: replace bi_bdev with a gendisk pointer and partitions index
This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O.  The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open.  Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).

For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device.  But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.

Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
over the stack.

Damien Le Moal 3b1a94c88b dm zoned: drive-managed zoned block device target
The dm-zoned device mapper target provides transparent write access
to zoned block devices (ZBC and ZAC compliant block devices).
dm-zoned hides to the device user (a file system or an application
doing raw block device accesses) any constraint imposed on write
requests by the device, equivalent to a drive-managed zoned block
device model.

Write requests are processed using a combination of on-disk buffering
using the device conventional zones and direct in-place processing for
requests aligned to a zone sequential write pointer position.
A background reclaim process implemented using dm_kcopyd_copy ensures
that conventional zones are always available for executing unaligned
write requests. The reclaim process overhead is minimized by managing
buffer zones in a least-recently-written order and first targeting the
oldest buffer zones. Doing so, blocks under regular write access (such
as metadata blocks of a file system) remain stored in conventional
zones, resulting in no apparent overhead.

dm-zoned implementation focus on simplicity and on minimizing overhead
(CPU, memory and storage overhead). For a 14TB host-managed disk with
256 MB zones, dm-zoned memory usage per disk instance is at most about
3 MB and as little as 5 zones will be used internally for storing metadata
and performing buffer zone reclaim operations. This is achieved using
zone level indirection rather than a full block indirection system for
managing block movement between zones.

dm-zoned primary target is host-managed zoned block devices but it can
also be used with host-aware device models to mitigate potential
device-side performance degradation due to excessive random writing.

Zoned block devices can be formatted and checked for use with the dm-zoned
target using the dmzadm utility available at:
