Remove the WRITE_* and READ_SYNC wrappers, and just use the flags
directly.  Where applicable this also drops usage of the
bio_set_op_attrs wrapper.

Commit e6047149db ("dm: use bio op accessors") switched DM over to
using bio_set_op_attrs() but didn't take care to initialize
lc-&gt;io_req.bi_op_flags in dm-log.c:rw_header().  This caused
rw_header()'s call to dm_io() to make bio-&gt;bi_op_flags be uninitialized
in dm-io.c:do_region(), which ultimately resulted in a SCSI BUG() in
sd_init_command().

Also, adjust rw_header() and its callers to use REQ_OP_{READ|WRITE}.

<title>dm: reject trailing characters in sccanf input</title>

Device mapper uses sscanf to convert arguments to numbers. The problem is that
the way we use it ignores additional unmatched characters in the scanned string.

For example, this `if (sscanf(string, "%d", &amp;number) == 1)' will match a number,
but also it will match number with some garbage appended, like "123abc".

As a result, device mapper accepts garbage after some numbers. For example
the command `dmsetup create vg1-new --table "0 16384 linear 254:1bla 34816bla"'
will pass without an error.

This patch fixes all sscanf uses in device mapper. It appends "%c" with
a pointer to a dummy character variable to every sscanf statement.

The construct `if (sscanf(string, "%d%c", &amp;number, &amp;dummy) == 1)' succeeds
only if string is a null-terminated number (optionally preceded by some
whitespace characters). If there is some character appended after the number,
sscanf matches "%c", writes the character to the dummy variable and returns 2.
We check the return value for 1 and consequently reject numbers with some
garbage appended.

<title>dm io: use fixed initial mempool size</title>

Replace the arbitrary calculation of an initial io struct mempool size
with a constant.

The code calculated the number of reserved structures based on the request
size and used a "magic" multiplication constant of 4.  This patch changes
it to reserve a fixed number - itself still chosen quite arbitrarily.
Further testing might show if there is a better number to choose.

Note that if there is no memory pressure, we can still allocate an
arbitrary number of "struct io" structures.  One structure is enough to
process the whole request.
