2013-03-27dm thin: fix discard corruptionJoe Thornber
commit f046f89a99ccfd9408b94c653374ff3065c7edb3 upstream. Fix a bug in dm_btree_remove that could leave leaf values with incorrect reference counts. The effect of this was that removal of a shared block could result in the space maps thinking the block was no longer used. More concretely, if you have a thin device and a snapshot of it, sending a discard to a shared region of the thin could corrupt the snapshot. Thinp uses a 2-level nested btree to store it's mappings. This first level is indexed by thin device, and the second level by logical block. Often when we're removing an entry in this mapping tree we need to rebalance nodes, which can involve shadowing them, possibly creating a copy if the block is shared. If we do create a copy then children of that node need to have their reference counts incremented. In this way reference counts percolate down the tree as shared trees diverge. The rebalance functions were incrementing the children at the appropriate time, but they were always assuming the children were internal nodes. This meant the leaf values (in our case packed block/flags entries) were not being incremented.

2013-03-20dm: fix truncated status stringsMikulas Patocka
commit fd7c092e711ebab55b2688d3859d95dfd0301f73 upstream. Avoid returning a truncated table or status string instead of setting the DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG when the last target of a table fills the buffer. When processing a table or status request, the function retrieve_status calls ti->type->status. If ti->type->status returns non-zero, retrieve_status assumes that the buffer overflowed and sets DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG. However, targets don't return non-zero values from their status method on overflow. Most targets returns always zero. If a buffer overflow happens in a target that is not the last in the table, it gets noticed during the next iteration of the loop in retrieve_status; but if a buffer overflow happens in the last target, it goes unnoticed and erroneously truncated data is returned. In the current code, the targets behave in the following way: * dm-crypt returns -ENOMEM if there is not enough space to store the key, but it returns 0 on all other overflows. * dm-thin returns errors from the status method if a disk error happened. This is incorrect because retrieve_status doesn't check the error code, it assumes that all non-zero values mean buffer overflow. * all the other targets always return 0. This patch changes the ti->type->status function to return void (because most targets don't use the return code). Overflow is detected in retrieve_status: if the status method fills up the remaining space completely, it is assumed that buffer overflow happened.

2012-08-10dm thin: fix memory leak in process_prepared_mapping error pathsJoe Thornber
commit 905386f82d08f66726912f303f3e6605248c60a3 upstream.

2012-07-04dm thin: reinstate missing mempool_free in cell_release_singletonMike Snitzer
commit 03aaae7cdc71bc306888440b1f569d463e917b6d upstream. Fix a significant memory leak inadvertently introduced during simplification of cell_release_singleton() in commit 6f94a4c45a6f744383f9f695dde019998db3df55 ("dm thin: fix stacked bi_next usage"). A cell's hlist_del() must be accompanied by a mempool_free(). Use __cell_release() to do this, like before.

2012-04-02dm thin: fix stacked bi_next usageJoe Thornber
commit 6f94a4c45a6f744383f9f695dde019998db3df55 upstream. Avoid using the bi_next field for the holder of a cell when deferring bios because a stacked device below might change it. Store the holder in a new field in struct cell instead. When a cell is created, the bio that triggered creation (the holder) was added to the same bio list as subsequent bios. In some cases we pass this holder bio directly to devices underneath. If those devices use the bi_next field there will be trouble... This also simplifies some code that had to work out which bio was the holder.

2011-10-31dm: add thin provisioning targetJoe Thornber
Initial EXPERIMENTAL implementation of device-mapper thin provisioning with snapshot support. The 'thin' target is used to create instances of the virtual devices that are hosted in the 'thin-pool' target. The thin-pool target provides data sharing among devices. This sharing is made possible using the persistent-data library in the previous patch. The main highlight of this implementation, compared to the previous implementation of snapshots, is that it allows many virtual devices to be stored on the same data volume, simplifying administration and allowing sharing of data between volumes (thus reducing disk usage). Another big feature is support for arbitrary depth of recursive snapshots (snapshots of snapshots of snapshots ...). The previous implementation of snapshots did this by chaining together lookup tables, and so performance was O(depth). This new implementation uses a single data structure so we don't get this degradation with depth.
