<title>dm: fix dm-raid crash if md_handle_request() splits bio</title>

Commit ca522482e3eaf ("dm: pass NULL bdev to bio_alloc_clone")
introduced the optimization to _not_ perform bio_associate_blkg()'s
relatively costly work when DM core clones its bio. But in doing so it
exposed the possibility for DM's cloned bio to alter DM target
behavior (e.g. crash) if a target were to issue IO without first
calling bio_set_dev().

The DM raid target can trigger an MD crash due to its need to split
the DM bio that is passed to md_handle_request(). The split will
recurse to submit_bio_noacct() using a bio with an uninitialized
-&gt;bi_blkg. This NULL bio-&gt;bi_blkg causes blk_throtl_bio() to
dereference a NULL blkg_to_tg(bio-&gt;bi_blkg).

Fix this in DM core by adding a new 'needs_bio_set_dev' target flag that
will make alloc_tio() call bio_set_dev() on behalf of the target.
dm-raid is the only target that requires this flag. bio_set_dev()
initializes the DM cloned bio's -&gt;bi_blkg, using bio_associate_blkg,
before passing the bio to md_handle_request().

Long-term fix would be to audit and refactor MD code to rely on DM to
split its bio, using dm_accept_partial_bio(), but there are MD raid
personalities (e.g. raid1 and raid10) whose implementation are tightly
coupled to handling the bio splitting inline.

Introduce dax_recovery_write() operation. The function is used to
recover a dax range that contains poison. Typical use case is when
a user process receives a SIGBUS with si_code BUS_MCEERR_AR
indicating poison(s) in a dax range, in response, the user process
issues a pwrite() to the page-aligned dax range, thus clears the
poison and puts valid data in the range.

access, but for the purpose of recovery write, dax range with
poison is requested.  To make the interface clear, introduce

where DAX_ACCESS is used for normal dax access, and
DAX_RECOVERY_WRITE is used for dax recovery write.

Remove the from_wq argument from dm_sumbit_bio_remap(). Eliminates the
need for dm_sumbit_bio_remap() callers to know whether they are
calling for a workqueue or from the original dm_submit_bio().

Add map_task to dm_io struct, record the map_task in alloc_io and
clear it after all target -&gt;map() calls have completed. Update
dm_sumbit_bio_remap to check if 'current' matches io-&gt;map_task rather
than rely on passed 'from_rq' argument.

This change really simplifies the chore of porting each DM target to
using dm_sumbit_bio_remap() because there is no longer the risk of
programming error by not completely knowing all the different contexts
a particular method that calls dm_sumbit_bio_remap() might be used in.

Where possible, switch from early bio-based IO accounting (at the time
DM clones each incoming bio) to late IO accounting just before each
remapped bio is issued to underlying device via submit_bio_noacct().

Allows more precise bio-based IO accounting for DM targets that use
their own workqueues to perform additional processing of each bio in
conjunction with their DM_MAPIO_SUBMITTED return from their map
function. When a target is updated to use dm_submit_bio_remap() they
must also set ti-&gt;accounts_remapped_io to true.

Use xchg() in start_io_acct(), as suggested by Mikulas, to ensure each
IO is only started once.  The xchg race only happens if
__send_duplicate_bios() sends multiple bios -- that case is reflected
via tio-&gt;is_duplicate_bio.  Given the niche nature of this race, it is
best to avoid any xchg performance penalty for normal IO.

For IO that was never submitted with dm_bio_submit_remap(), but the
target completes the clone with bio_endio, accounting is started then
ended and pending_io counter decremented.

These methods indirect the actual DAX read/write path.  In the end pmem
uses magic flush and mc safe variants and fuse and dcssblk use plain ones
while device mapper picks redirects to the underlying device.

Add set_dax_nocache() and set_dax_nomc() APIs to control which copy
routines are used to remove indirect call from the read/write fast path
as well as a lot of boilerplate code.

These methods indirect the actual DAX read/write path.  In the end pmem
uses magic flush and mc safe variants and fuse and dcssblk use plain ones
while device mapper picks redirects to the underlying device.

Add set_dax_nocache() and set_dax_nomc() APIs to control which copy
routines are used to remove indirect call from the read/write fast path
as well as a lot of boilerplate code.
