With commit cc27b0c78c79, pers-&gt;make_request could bail out without handling
the bio. If that happens, we should retry.  The commit fixes md_make_request
but not other call sites. Separate the request handling part, so other call
sites can use it.

Commit abebfbe2f731 ("dm: add -&gt;flush() dax operation support") is
buggy. A DM device may be composed of multiple underlying devices and
all of them need to be flushed. That commit just routes the flush
request to the first device and ignores the other devices.

It could be fixed by adding more complex logic to the device mapper. But
there is only one implementation of the method pmem_dax_ops-&gt;flush - that
is pmem_dax_flush() - and it calls arch_wb_cache_pmem(). Consequently, we
don't need the pmem_dax_ops-&gt;flush abstraction at all, we can call
arch_wb_cache_pmem() directly from dax_flush() because dax_dev-&gt;ops-&gt;flush
can't ever reach anything different from arch_wb_cache_pmem().

It should be also pointed out that for some uses of persistent memory it
is needed to flush only a very small amount of data (such as 1 cacheline),
and it would be overkill if we go through that device mapper machinery for
a single flushed cache line.

Fix this by removing the pmem_dax_ops-&gt;flush abstraction and call
arch_wb_cache_pmem() directly from dax_flush(). Also, remove the device
mapper code that forwards the flushes.

<title>dm integrity: use init_completion instead of COMPLETION_INITIALIZER_ONSTACK</title>

<id>b5e8ad92c3ac0b073bbf08ffd1a6a31d3449caae</id>
<content type='text'>
The new lockdep support for completions causeed the stack usage
in dm-integrity to explode, in case of write_journal from 504 bytes
to 1120 (using arm gcc-7.1.1):

drivers/md/dm-integrity.c: In function 'write_journal':
drivers/md/dm-integrity.c:827:1: error: the frame size of 1120 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]

The problem is that not only the size of 'struct completion' grows
significantly, but we end up having multiple copies of it on the stack
when we assign it from a local variable after the initial declaration.

COMPLETION_INITIALIZER_ONSTACK() is the right thing to use when we
want to declare and initialize a completion on the stack. However,
this driver doesn't do that and instead initializes the completion
just before it is used.

In this case, init_completion() does the same thing more efficiently,
and drops the stack usage for the function above down to 496 bytes.
While the other functions in this file are not bad enough to cause
a warning, they benefit equally from the change, so I do the change
across the entire file. In the one place where we reuse a completion,
I picked the cheaper reinit_completion() over init_completion().

Even though read operations fail, dm_integrity_map_continue() calls
integrity_metadata() to check integrity.  In this case, just complete
these.

This also makes it so read I/O errors do not generate integrity warnings
in the kernel log.
