Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - Improve DM snapshot target's scalability by using finer grained
   locking. Requires some list_bl interface improvements.

 - Add ability for DM integrity to use a bitmap mode, that tracks
   regions where data and metadata are out of sync, instead of using a
   journal.

 - Improve DM thin provisioning target to not write metadata changes to
   disk if the thin-pool and associated thin devices are merely
   activated but not used. This avoids metadata corruption due to
   concurrent activation of thin devices across different OS instances
   (e.g. split brain scenarios, which ultimately would be avoided if
   proper device filters were used -- but not having proper filtering
   has proven a very common configuration mistake)

 - Fix missing call to path selector type-&gt;end_io in DM multipath. This
   fixes reported performance problems due to inaccurate path selector
   IO accounting causing an imbalance of IO (e.g. avoiding issuing IO to
   particular path due to it seemingly being heavily used).

 - Fix bug in DM cache metadata's loading of its discard bitset that
   could lead to all cache blocks being discarded if the very first
   cache block was discarded (thankfully in practice the first cache
   block is generally in use; be it FS superblock, partition table, disk
   label, etc).

 - Add testing-only DM dust target which simulates a device that has
   failing sectors and/or read failures.

 - Fix a DM init error path reference count hang that caused boot hangs
   if user supplied malformed input on kernel commandline.

 - Fix a couple issues with DM crypt target's logging being overly
   verbose or lacking context.

 - Various other small fixes to DM init, DM multipath, DM zoned, and DM
   crypt.

Replace the indirection through struct stack_trace with an invocation of
the storage array based interface. This results in less storage space and
indirection.

Otherwise, memory that is allocated (and potentially not previously
zeroed) will get written to disk as part of the space maps.

bitmap API (include/linux/bitmap.h) has 'bitmap' prefix for its methods.

On the other hand DM bitmap API is special case.
Adding 'dm' prefix to it to avoid potential name space collision.

No functional changes intended.

<content type='text'>
Move dm-bufio.h to include/linux/ so that external GPL'd DM target
modules can use it.

It is better to allow the use of dm-bufio than force external modules
to implement the equivalent buffered IO mechanism in some new way.  The
hope is this will encourage the use of dm-bufio; which will then make it
easier for a GPL'd external DM target module to be included upstream.

A couple dm-bufio EXPORT_SYMBOL exports have also been updated to use
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.

<title>dm btree: fix serious bug in btree_split_beneath()</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.shady.money/linux/commit/?id=bc68d0a43560e950850fc69b58f0f8254b28f6d6'/>
<id>urn:sha1:bc68d0a43560e950850fc69b58f0f8254b28f6d6</id>
<content type='text'>
When inserting a new key/value pair into a btree we walk down the spine of
btree nodes performing the following 2 operations:

  i) space for a new entry
  ii) adjusting the first key entry if the new key is lower than any in the node.

If the _root_ node is full, the function btree_split_beneath() allocates 2 new
nodes, and redistibutes the root nodes entries between them.  The root node is
left with 2 entries corresponding to the 2 new nodes.

btree_split_beneath() then adjusts the spine to point to one of the two new
children.  This means the first key is never adjusted if the new key was lower,
ie. operation (ii) gets missed out.  This can result in the new key being
'lost' for a period; until another low valued key is inserted that will uncover
it.

This is a serious bug, and quite hard to make trigger in normal use.  A
reproducing test case ("thin create devices-in-reverse-order") is
available as part of the thin-provision-tools project:
  https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools/blob/master/functional-tests/device-mapper/dm-tests.scm#L593

Fix the issue by changing btree_split_beneath() so it no longer adjusts
the spine.  Instead it unlocks both the new nodes, and lets the main
loop in btree_insert_raw() relock the appropriate one and make any
neccessary adjustments.

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - a few conversions from atomic_t to ref_count_t

 - a DM core fix for a race during device destruction that could result
   in a BUG_ON

 - a stable@ fix for a DM cache race condition that could lead to data
   corruption when operating in writeback mode (writethrough is default)

 - various DM cache cleanups and improvements

 - add DAX support to the DM log-writes target

 - a fix for the DM zoned target's ability to deal with the last zone of
   the drive being smaller than all others

 - a stable@ DM crypt and DM integrity fix for a negative check that was
   to restrictive (prevented slab debug with XFS ontop of DM crypt from
   working)

 - a DM raid target fix for a panic that can occur when forcing a raid
   to sync
