dm: support key eviction from keyslot managers of underlying devices
Now that device mapper supports inline encryption, add the ability to
evict keys from all underlying devices. When an upper layer requests
a key eviction, we simply iterate through all underlying devices
and evict that key from each device.

dm: add support for passing through inline crypto support
Update the device-mapper core to support exposing the inline crypto
support of the underlying device(s) through the device-mapper device.
This works by creating a "passthrough keyslot manager" for the dm
device, which declares support for encryption settings which all
underlying devices support. When a supported setting is used, the bio
cloning code handles cloning the crypto context to the bios for all the
underlying devices. When an unsupported setting is used, the blk-crypto
fallback is used as usual.
Crypto support on each underlying device is ignored unless the
corresponding dm target opts into exposing it. This is needed because
for inline crypto to semantically operate on the original bio, the data
must not be transformed by the dm target. Thus, targets like dm-linear
can expose crypto support of the underlying device, but targets like
dm-crypt can't. (dm-crypt could use inline crypto itself, though.)
A DM device's table can only be changed if the "new" inline encryption
capabilities are a (*not* necessarily strict) superset of the "old" inline
encryption capabilities. Attempts to make changes to the table that result
in some inline encryption capability becoming no longer supported will be
rejected.
For the sake of clarity, key eviction from underlying devices will be
handled in a future patch.

block/keyslot-manager: Introduce functions for device mapper support
Introduce blk_ksm_update_capabilities() to update the capabilities of
a keyslot manager (ksm) in-place. The pointer to a ksm in a device's
request queue may not be easily replaced, because upper layers like
the filesystem might access it (e.g. for programming keys/checking
capabilities) at the same time the device wants to replace that
request queue's ksm (and free the old ksm's memory). This function
allows the device to update the capabilities of the ksm in its request
queue directly. Devices can safely update the ksm this way without any
synchronization with upper layers *only* if the updated (new) ksm
continues to support all the crypto capabilities that the old ksm did
(see description below for blk_ksm_is_superset() for why this is so).
Also introduce blk_ksm_is_superset() which checks whether one ksm's
capabilities are a (not necessarily strict) superset of another ksm's.
The blk-crypto framework requires that crypto capabilities that were
advertised when a bio was created continue to be supported by the
device until that bio is ended - in practice this probably means that
a device's advertised crypto capabilities can *never* "shrink" (since
there's no synchronization between bio creation and when a device may
want to change its advertised capabilities) - so a previously
advertised crypto capability must always continue to be supported.
This function can be used to check that a new ksm is a valid
replacement for an old ksm.

The device mapper may map over devices that have inline encryption
capabilities, and to make use of those capabilities, the DM device must
itself advertise those inline encryption capabilities. One way to do this
would be to have the DM device set up a keyslot manager with a
"sufficiently large" number of keyslots, but that would use a lot of
memory. Also, the DM device itself has no "keyslots", and it doesn't make
much sense to talk about "programming a key into a DM device's keyslot
manager", so all that extra memory used to represent those keyslots is just
wasted. All a DM device really needs to be able to do is advertise the
crypto capabilities of the underlying devices in a coherent manner and
expose a way to evict keys from the underlying devices.
There are also devices with inline encryption hardware that do not
have a limited number of keyslots. One can send a raw encryption key along
with a bio to these devices (as opposed to typical inline encryption
hardware that require users to first program a raw encryption key into a
keyslot, and send the index of that keyslot along with the bio). These
devices also only need the same things from the keyslot manager that DM
devices need - a way to advertise crypto capabilities and potentially a way
to expose a function to evict keys from hardware.
So we introduce a "passthrough" keyslot manager that provides a way to
represent a keyslot manager that doesn't have just a limited number of
keyslots, and for which do not require keys to be programmed into keyslots.
DM devices can set up a passthrough keyslot manager in their request
queues, and advertise appropriate crypto capabilities based on those of the
underlying devices. Blk-crypto does not attempt to program keys into any
keyslots in the passthrough keyslot manager. Instead, if/when the bio is
resubmitted to the underlying device, blk-crypto will try to program the
key into the underlying device's keyslot manager.

dm era: only resize metadata in preresume
Metadata resize shouldn't happen in the ctr. The ctr loads a temporary

Also, perform the resize directly in preresume, instead of using the

dm era: Reinitialize bitset cache before digesting a new writeset
In case of devices with at most 64 blocks, the digestion of consecutive
eras uses the writeset of the first era as the writeset of all eras to
digest, leading to lost writes. That is, we lose the information about
what blocks were written during the affected eras.
The digestion code uses a dm_disk_bitset object to access the archived
writesets. This structure includes a one word (64-bit) cache to reduce
the number of array lookups.
This structure is initialized only once, in metadata_digest_start(),
when we kick off digestion.
But, when we insert a new writeset into the writeset tree, before the
digestion of the previous writeset is done, or equivalently when there
are multiple writesets in the writeset tree to digest, then all these
writesets are digested using the same cache and the cache is not
re-initialized when moving from one writeset to the next.
For devices with more than 64 blocks, i.e., the size of the cache, the
cache is indirectly invalidated when we move to a next set of blocks, so
we avoid the bug.
But for devices with at most 64 blocks we end up using the same cached
data for digesting all archived writesets, i.e., the cache is loaded
when digesting the first writeset and it never gets reloaded, until the
digestion is done.
As a result, the writeset of the first era to digest is used as the
writeset of all the following archived eras, leading to lost writes.
Fix this by reinitializing the dm_disk_bitset structure, and thus
invalidating the cache, every time the digestion code starts digesting a
new writeset.

dm era: Update in-core bitset after committing the metadata
In case of a system crash, dm-era might fail to mark blocks as written
in its metadata, although the corresponding writes to these blocks were
passed down to the origin device and completed successfully.
Consider the following sequence of events:
1. We write to a block that has not been yet written in the current era
2. era_map() checks the in-core bitmap for the current era and sees
that the block is not marked as written.
3. The write is deferred for submission after the metadata have been
updated and committed.
4. The worker thread processes the deferred write
(process_deferred_bios()) and marks the block as written in the
in-core bitmap, **before** committing the metadata.
5. The worker thread starts committing the metadata.
6. We do more writes that map to the same block as the write of step (1)
7. era_map() checks the in-core bitmap and sees that the block is marked
as written, **although the metadata have not been committed yet**.
8. These writes are passed down to the origin device immediately and the
device reports them as completed.
9. The system crashes, e.g., power failure, before the commit from step
(5) finishes.
When the system recovers and we query the dm-era target for the list of
written blocks it doesn't report the aforementioned block as written,
although the writes of step (6) completed successfully.
The issue is that era_map() decides whether to defer or not a write
based on non committed information. The root cause of the bug is that we
update the in-core bitmap, **before** committing the metadata.
Fix this by updating the in-core bitmap **after** successfully
committing the metadata.

dm era: Recover committed writeset after crash
Following a system crash, dm-era fails to recover the committed writeset
for the current era, leading to lost writes. That is, we lose the
information about what blocks were written during the affected era.
dm-era assumes that the writeset of the current era is archived when the
device is suspended. So, when resuming the device, it just moves on to
the next era, ignoring the committed writeset.
This assumption holds when the device is properly shut down. But, when
the system crashes, the code that suspends the target never runs, so the
writeset for the current era is not archived.
There are three issues that cause the committed writeset to get lost:
1. dm-era doesn't load the committed writeset when opening the metadata
2. The code that resizes the metadata wipes the information about the
committed writeset (assuming it was loaded at step 1)
3. era_preresume() starts a new era, without taking into account that
the current era might not have been archived, due to a system crash.
To fix this:
1. Load the committed writeset when opening the metadata
2. Fix the code that resizes the metadata to make sure it doesn't wipe
the loaded writeset
3. Fix era_preresume() to check for a loaded writeset and archive it,

blk-mq: Improve performance of non-mq IO schedulers with multiple HW queues
Currently when non-mq aware IO scheduler (BFQ, mq-deadline) is used for
a queue with multiple HW queues, the performance it rather bad. The
problem is that these IO schedulers use queue-wide locking and their
dispatch function does not respect the hctx it is passed in and returns
any request it finds appropriate. Thus locality of request access is
broken and dispatch from multiple CPUs just contends on IO scheduler
locks. For these IO schedulers there's little point in dispatching from
multiple CPUs. Instead dispatch always only from a single CPU to limit
contention.
Below is a comparison of dbench runs on XFS filesystem where the storage
is a raid card with 64 HW queues and to it attached a single rotating
disk. BFQ is used as IO scheduler:
Numbers are times so lower is better. MQ is stock 5.10-rc6 kernel. SQ is
the same kernel with megaraid_sas.host_tagset_enable=0 so that the card
advertises just a single HW queue. MQ-Patched is a kernel with this
patch applied.
You can see multiple hardware queues heavily hurt performance in
combination with BFQ. The patch restores the performance.

Since both mq-deadline and BFQ completely ignore hctx they are passed to

checking whether any request for a particular hctx is queued is just
pointless since we'll very likely get a request from a different hctx
anyway. In the following commit we'll deal with lock contention in these
IO schedulers in presence of multiple HW queues in a different way.

requests of the new queue in the drive that the pending requests for

block, bfq: avoid spurious switches to soft_rt of interactive queues
BFQ tags some bfq_queues as interactive or soft_rt if it deems that
these bfq_queues contain the I/O of, respectively, interactive or soft
real-time applications. BFQ privileges both these special types of
bfq_queues over normal bfq_queues. To privilege a bfq_queue, BFQ
mainly raises the weight of the bfq_queue. In particular, soft_rt
bfq_queues get a higher weight than interactive bfq_queues.
A bfq_queue may turn from interactive to soft_rt. And this leads to a
tricky issue. Soft real-time applications usually start with an
I/O-bound, interactive phase, in which they load themselves into main
memory. BFQ correctly detects this phase, and keeps the bfq_queues
associated with the application in interactive mode for a
while. Problems arise when the I/O pattern of the application finally
switches to soft real-time. One of the conditions for a bfq_queue to
be deemed as soft_rt is that the bfq_queue does not consume too much
bandwidth. But the bfq_queues associated with a soft real-time
application consume as much bandwidth as they can in the loading phase
of the application. So, after the application becomes truly soft
real-time, a lot of time should pass before the average bandwidth
consumed by its bfq_queues finally drops to a value acceptable for
soft_rt bfq_queues. As a consequence, there might be a time gap during
which the application is not privileged at all, because its bfq_queues
are not interactive any longer, but cannot be deemed as soft_rt yet.
To avoid this problem, BFQ pretends that an interactive bfq_queue
consumes zero bandwidth, and allows an interactive bfq_queue to switch
to soft_rt. Yet, this fake zero-bandwidth consumption easily causes
the bfq_queue to often switch to soft_rt deceptively, during its
loading phase. As in soft_rt mode, the bfq_queue gets its bandwidth
correctly computed, and therefore soon switches back to
interactive. Then it switches again to soft_rt, and so on. These
spurious fluctuations usually cause losses of throughput, because they
deceive BFQ's mechanisms for boosting throughput (injection,
I/O-plugging avoidance, ...).
This commit addresses this issue as follows:
1) It does compute actual bandwidth consumption also for interactive
bfq_queues. This avoids the above false positives.
2) When a bfq_queue switches from interactive to normal mode, the
consumed bandwidth is reset (forgotten). This allows the
bfq_queue to enjoy soft_rt very quickly. In particular, two
alternatives are possible in this switch:
- the bfq_queue still has backlog, and therefore there is a budget
already scheduled to serve the bfq_queue; in this case, the
scheduling of the current budget of the bfq_queue is not
hindered, because only the scheduling of the next budget will
be affected by the weight drop. After that, if the bfq_queue is
actually in a soft_rt phase, and becomes empty during the
service of its current budget, which is the natural behavior of
a soft_rt bfq_queue, then the bfq_queue will be considered as
soft_rt when its next I/O arrives. If, in contrast, the
bfq_queue remains constantly non-empty, then its next budget
will be scheduled with a low weight, which is the natural
treatment for an I/O-bound (non soft_rt) bfq_queue.
- the bfq_queue is empty; in this case, the bfq_queue may be
considered unjustly soft_rt when its new I/O arrives. Yet
the problem is now much smaller than before, because it is
unlikely that more than one spurious fluctuation occurs.
