dm zoned: metadata version 2

2020-05-20T21:09:43Z

Implement handling for metadata version 2. The new metadata adds a label and UUID for the device mapper device, and additional UUID for the underlying block devices. It also allows for an additional regular drive to be used for emulating random access zones. The emulated zones will be placed 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.

dm zoned: add 'message' callback

2020-05-15T14:29:36Z

Add callback for 'dmsetup message' to allow the reclaim process to be triggered manually. Eg. dmsetup message /dev/dm-X 0 message will start the reclaim process even if the default threshold of 50 percent of free random zones is not reached.

dm zoned: add 'status' callback

2020-05-15T14:29:36Z

Add callback to supply information for 'dmsetup status' and 'dmsetup table'. The output for 'dmsetup status' is 0 zoned zones / random / sequential where is the number of unmapped (ie free) random zones, the total number of random zones, the number of unmapped sequential zones, and the total number of sequential zones.

dm: add emulated block size target

2020-05-15T14:29:35Z

This new target is similar to the linear target except that it emulates a smaller logical block size on a device with a larger logical block size. Its main purpose is to emulate 512 byte sectors on 4K native disks (i.e. 512e). See Documentation/admin-guide/device-mapper/dm-ebs.rst for details.

dm raid: table line rebuild status fixes

2020-01-07T16:43:37Z

raid_status() wasn't emitting rebuild flags on the table line properly because the rdev number was not yet set properly; index raid component devices array directly to solve. Also fix wrong argument count on emitted table line caused by 1 too many rebuild/write_mostly argument and consider any journal_(dev|mode) pairs.

Merge tag 'for-5.5/dm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm

2019-12-13T22:13:15Z

Pull device mapper fixes from Mike Snitzer: - Fix DM multipath by restoring full path selector functionality for bio-based configurations that don't haave a SCSI device handler. - Fix dm-btree removal to ensure non-root btree nodes have at least (max_entries / 3) entries. This resolves userspace thin_check utility's report of "too few entries in btree_node". - Fix both the DM thin-provisioning and dm-clone targets to properly flush the data device prior to metadata commit. This resolves the potential for inconsistency across a power loss event when the data device has a volatile writeback cache. - Small documentation fixes to dm-clone and dm-integrity. * tag 'for-5.5/dm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: docs: dm-integrity: remove reference to ARC4 dm thin: Flush data device before committing metadata dm thin metadata: Add support for a pre-commit callback dm clone: Flush destination device before committing metadata dm clone metadata: Use a two phase commit dm clone metadata: Track exact changes per transaction dm btree: increase rebalance threshold in __rebalance2() dm: add dm-clone to the documentation index dm mpath: remove harmful bio-based optimization

docs: dm-integrity: remove reference to ARC4

ARC4 is no longer considered secure, so it shouldn't be used, even as just an example. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer
