<title>dm: fix dropped return code from dm_get_bdev_for_ioctl</title>

dm_get_bdev_for_ioctl()'s return of 0 or 1 must be the result from
prepare_ioctl (1 means the ioctl was issued to a partition, 0 means it
wasn't).  Unfortunately commit 519049afea ("dm: use blkdev_get rather
than bdgrab when issuing pass-through ioctl") reused the variable 'r'
to store the return from blkdev_get() that follows prepare_ioctl()
-- whereby dropping prepare_ioctl()'s result on the floor.

This can lead to an ioctl or persistent reservation being issued to a
partition going unnoticed, which implies the extra permission check for
CAP_SYS_RAWIO is skipped.

Fix this by using a different variable to store blkdev_get()'s return.

The ability to have multipath dynamically attach a scsi_dh, that the user
specified in the multipath table, was broken by commit e8f74a0f00 ("dm
mpath: eliminate need to use scsi_device_from_queue").

Restore the ability to load, and attach, a particular scsi_dh module if
one is specified (as noticed by checking m-&gt;hw_handler_name).

After v4.12 commit e2460f2a4bc7 ("dm: mark targets that pass integrity
data"), dm-multipath, e.g. on DIF+DIX SCSI disk paths, does not support
block integrity any more. So add it to the whitelist.

This is also a pre-requisite to use block integrity with other dm layer(s)
on top of multipath, such as kpartx partitions (dm-linear) or LVM.

Also, bump target version to reflect this fix.

The subtle (and fragile) SCSI-assuming legacy code clearly needs further

In practice this is really only meaningful in the context of the DM
multipath target (which uses dm_table_set_type() to set the type of
device DM should create via its "queue_mode" option).

So this change allows a DM multipath device with "queue_mode bio" to be
upgraded from DM_TYPE_BIO_BASED to DM_TYPE_NVME_BIO_BASED -- iff the
underlying device(s) are NVMe.

DM_TYPE_NVME_BIO_BASED is just a DM core implementation detail that
allows for NVMe-specific optimizations (e.g. use direct_make_request
instead of generic_make_request).  If in the future there is no benefit
or need to distinguish NVMe vs not: then it will be removed.

This eliminates the "queue_mode" configuration's "nvme" mode.  There
wasn't anything NVMe-specific about that mode.  It was named "nvme"
because it was a short name for the mode.  But the entire point of the
mode was to optimize the multipath target for underlying devices that
are _not_ SCSI-based.  Devices that aren't SCSI have no need for the
various SCSI device handler (scsi_dh) specific code in DM multipath.

But rather than narrowly define this scsi_dh vs not branching in terms
of "nvme": invert the logic so that we're just checking whether a
multipath device is layered on SCSI devices with scsi_dh attached.

This allows any future storage technology to avoid scsi_dh specific code
in the multipath target too.

<title>dm raid: fix incorrect sync_ratio when degraded</title>

Upstream commit 4102d9de6d375 ("dm raid: fix rs_get_progress()
synchronization state/ratio") in combination with commit 7c29744ecce
("dm raid: simplify rs_get_progress()") introduced a regression by
incorrectly reporting a sync_ratio of 0 for degraded raid sets.  This
caused lvm2 to fail to repair raid legs automatically.

Fix by identifying the degraded state by checking the MD_RECOVERY_INTR
flag and returning mddev-&gt;recovery_cp in case it is set.

MD sets recovery = [ MD_RECOVERY_RECOVER MD_RECOVERY_INTR
MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED ] when a RAID member fails.  It then shuts down any
sync thread that is running and leaves us with all MD_RECOVERY_* flags
cleared.  The bug occurs if a status is requested in the short time it
takes to shut down any sync thread and clear the flags, because we were
keying in on the MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED - understanding it to be the initial
phase of a “recover” sync thread.  However, this is an incorrect
interpretation if MD_RECOVERY_INTR is also set.

This also explains why the bug only happened when automatic repair was
enabled and not a normal ‘manual’ method.  It is impossible to react
quick enough to hit the problematic window without it being automated.

Fix passes automatic repair tests.
