The warning message "Unrecognised multipath message received" is
displayed in two different situations in multipath_message(): when the
number of arguments passed is invalid and when the string passed in
argv[0] is not recognized.
Make it easier to identify where the problem is by making these warnings
more specific with additional context for each case.

activate_path() is run without a lock, so the path might be
set to failed before activate_path() had a chance to run.
This patch add a check for ->active in activate_path() to
avoid unnecessary overhead by calling functions which are known
to be failing.

afterwards anyway. Avoiding this memory allocation will reduce memory

process_queued_ios() has served 3 functions:
1) select pg and pgpath if none is selected
2) start pg_init if requested
3) dispatch queued IOs when pg is ready
Basically, a call to queue_work(process_queued_ios) can be replaced by
dm_table_run_md_queue_async(), which runs request queue and ends up
calling map_io(), which does 1), 2) and 3).
Exception is when !pg_ready() (which means either pg_init is running or
requested), then multipath_busy() prevents map_io() being called from
request_fn.
If pg_init is running, it should be ok as long as pg_init_done() does
the right thing when pg_init is completed, I.e.: restart pg_init if
!pg_ready() or call dm_table_run_md_queue_async() to kick map_io().
If pg_init is requested, we have to make sure the request is detected
and pg_init will be started. pg_init is requested in 3 places:
a) __choose_pgpath() in map_io()
b) __choose_pgpath() in multipath_ioctl()
c) pg_init retry in pg_init_done()
a) is ok because map_io() calls __pg_init_all_paths(), which does 2).
b) needs a call to __pg_init_all_paths(), which does 2).
c) needs a call to __pg_init_all_paths(), which does 2).
So this patch removes process_queued_ios() and ensures that
__pg_init_all_paths() is called at the appropriate locations.

There is no reason why multipath needs to queue requests internally for
queue_if_no_path or pg_init; we should rather push them back onto the
request queue.
And while we're at it we can simplify the conditional statement in
map_io() to make it easier to read.
Since mpath no longer does internal queuing of I/O the table info no
longer emits the internal queue_size. Instead it displays 1 if queuing
is being used or 0 if it is not.

An invalid ioctl will never be valid, irrespective of whether multipath
has active paths or not. So for invalid ioctls we do not have to wait
for multipath to activate any paths, but can rather return an error
code immediately. This fix resolves numerous instances of:
udevd[]: worker [] unexpectedly returned with status 0x0100
that have been seen during testing.

When pg_init is running no I/O can be submitted to the underlying
devices, as the path priority etc might change. When using queue_io for
this, requests will be piling up within multipath as the block I/O
scheduler just sees a _very fast_ device. All of this queued I/O has to
be resubmitted from within multipathing once pg_init is done.
This approach has the problem that it's virtually impossible to
abort I/O when pg_init is running, and we're adding heavy load
to the devices after pg_init since all of the queued I/O needs to be
resubmitted _before_ any requests can be pulled off of the request queue
and normal operation continues.
This patch will requeue the I/O that triggers the pg_init call, and
return 'busy' when pg_init is in progress. With these changes the block
I/O scheduler will stop submitting I/O during pg_init, resulting in a
quicker path switch and less I/O pressure (and memory consumption) after
pg_init.

Whenever multipath_dtr() is happening we must prevent queueing any
further path activation work. Implement this by adding a new
'pg_init_disabled' flag to the multipath structure that denotes future
path activation work should be skipped if it is set. By disabling
pg_init and then re-enabling in flush_multipath_work() we also avoid the
potential for pg_init to be initiated while suspending an mpath device.
Without this patch a race condition exists that may result in a kernel
panic:
1) If after pg_init_done() decrements pg_init_in_progress to 0, a call
to wait_for_pg_init_completion() assumes there are no more pending path
management commands.
2) If pg_init_required is set by pg_init_done(), due to retryable
mode_select errors, then process_queued_ios() will again queue the
path activation work.
3) If free_multipath() completes before activate_path() work is called a
NULL pointer dereference like the following can be seen when
accessing members of the recently destructed multipath:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000090

Workaround the SCSI layer's problematic WRITE SAME heuristics by
disabling WRITE SAME in the DM multipath device's queue_limits if an
underlying device disabled it.
The WRITE SAME heuristics, with both the original commit 5db44863b6eb
("[SCSI] sd: Implement support for WRITE SAME") and the updated commit
66c28f971 ("[SCSI] sd: Update WRITE SAME heuristics"), default to enabling
WRITE SAME(10) even without successfully determining it is supported.
After the first failed WRITE SAME the SCSI layer will disable WRITE SAME
for the device (by setting sdkp->device->no_write_same which results in
'max_write_same_sectors' in device's queue_limits to be set to 0).
When a device is stacked ontop of such a SCSI device any changes to that
SCSI device's queue_limits do not automatically propagate up the stack.
As such, a DM multipath device will not have its WRITE SAME support
disabled. This causes the block layer to continue to issue WRITE SAME
requests to the mpath device which causes paths to fail and (if mpath IO
isn't configured to queue when no paths are available) it will result in
actual IO errors to the upper layers.
This fix doesn't help configurations that have additional devices
stacked ontop of the mpath device (e.g. LVM created linear DM devices
ontop). A proper fix that restacks all the queue_limits from the bottom
of the device stack up will need to be explored if SCSI will continue to
use this model of optimistically allowing op codes and then disabling
them after they fail for the first time.

When multipath needs to retry an ioctl the reference to the
current live table needs to be dropped. Otherwise a deadlock
occurs when all paths are down:
- dm_blk_ioctl takes a reference to the current table
and spins in multipath_ioctl().
- A new table is being loaded, but upon resume the process
hangs in dm_table_destroy() waiting for references to
drop to zero.
With this patch the reference to the old table is dropped
prior to retry, thereby avoiding the deadlock.

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.

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
"This is workqueue updates for v3.7-rc1. A lot of activities this
round including considerable API and behavior cleanups.
* delayed_work combines a timer and a work item. The handling of the
timer part has always been a bit clunky leading to confusing
cancelation API with weird corner-case behaviors. delayed_work is
updated to use new IRQ safe timer and cancelation now works as
expected.
* Another deficiency of delayed_work was lack of the counterpart of
mod_timer() which led to cancel+queue combinations or open-coded
timer+work usages. mod_delayed_work[_on]() are added.
These two delayed_work changes make delayed_work provide interface
and behave like timer which is executed with process context.
* A work item could be executed concurrently on multiple CPUs, which
is rather unintuitive and made flush_work() behavior confusing and
half-broken under certain circumstances. This problem doesn't
exist for non-reentrant workqueues. While non-reentrancy check
isn't free, the overhead is incurred only when a work item bounces
across different CPUs and even in simulated pathological scenario
the overhead isn't too high.
All workqueues are made non-reentrant. This removes the
distinction between flush_[delayed_]work() and
flush_[delayed_]_work_sync(). The former is now as strong as the
latter and the specified work item is guaranteed to have finished
execution of any previous queueing on return.
* In addition to the various bug fixes, Lai redid and simplified CPU
hotplug handling significantly.
* Joonsoo introduced system_highpri_wq and used it during CPU
hotplug.
There are two merge commits - one to pull in IRQ safe timer from
tip/timers/core and the other to pull in CPU hotplug fixes from
wq/for-3.6-fixes as Lai's hotplug restructuring depended on them."
Fixed a number of trivial conflicts, but the more interesting conflicts
were silent ones where the deprecated interfaces had been used by new
code in the merge window, and thus didn't cause any real data conflicts.
Tejun pointed out a few of them, I fixed a couple more.

When there are no paths and multipath receives an ioctl, it waits until
a path becomes available. This behaviour is incorrect if the
"queue_if_no_path" setting was not specified, as then the ioctl should
be rejected immediately, which this patch now does.
commit 35991652b ("dm mpath: allow ioctls to trigger pg init") should
have checked if queue_if_no_path was configured before queueing IO.
Checking for the queue_if_no_path feature, like is done in map_io(),
allows the following table load to work without blocking in the
multipath_ioctl retry loop:
echo "0 1024 multipath 0 0 0 0" | dmsetup create mpath_nodevs

flush[_delayed]_work_sync() are now spurious. Mark them deprecated
and convert all users to flush[_delayed]_work().
If you're cc'd and wondering what's going on: Now all workqueues are
non-reentrant and the regular flushes guarantee that the work item is
not pending or running on any CPU on return, so there's no reason to
use the sync flushes at all and they're going away.

A SCSI device handler might get attached to a device during the
initial device scan. We do not necessarily want to override
this when loading a multipath table, so this patch adds a new
multipath feature argument "retain_attached_hw_handler".
During SCSI device scan all loaded SCSI device handlers will be
consulted for a match (via scsi_dh's provided .match). If a match is
found that device handler will be attached. We need a way to have
userspace multipathd's provided 'hw_handler' not override the already
attached hardware handler.
When specifying the new feature 'retain_attached_hw_handler' multipath
will use the currently attached hardware handler instead of trying to
attach the one specified during table load. If no hardware handler is
attached the specified hardware handler will still be used.
Leverages scsi_dh_attach's ability to increment the scsi_dh's reference
count if the same scsi_dh name is provided when attaching - currently
attached scsi_dh name is determined with scsi_dh_attached_handler_name.
Depends upon commit 7e8a74b177f17d100916b6ad415450f7c9508691

After the failure of a group of paths, any alternative paths that
need initialising do not become available until further I/O is sent to
the device. Until this has happened, ioctls return -EAGAIN.
With this patch, new paths are made available in response to an ioctl
too. The processing of the ioctl gets delayed until this has happened.
Instead of returning an error, we submit a work item to kmultipathd
(that will potentially activate the new path) and retry in ten
milliseconds.
Note that the patch doesn't retry an ioctl if the ioctl itself fails due
to a path failure. Such retries should be handled intelligently by the
code that generated the ioctl in the first place, noting that some SCSI
commands should not be retried because they are not idempotent (XOR write
commands). For commands that could be retried, there is a danger that
if the device rejected the SCSI command, the path could be errorneously
marked as failed, and the request would be retried on another path which
might fail too. It can be determined if the failure happens on the
device or on the SCSI controller, but there is no guarantee that all
SCSI drivers set these flags correctly.

If I/O needs retrying and only bypassed priority groups are available,
set the pg_init_delay_retry flag to wait before retrying.
If, for example, the reason for the bypass is that the controller is
getting reset or there is a firmware upgrade happening, retrying right
away would cause a flood of log messages and retries for what could be a
few seconds or even several minutes.

Move multipath structure's 'lock' and 'queue_size' members to eliminate
two 4-byte holes. Also use a bit within a single unsigned int for each

Device mapper uses sscanf to convert arguments to numbers. The problem is that
the way we use it ignores additional unmatched characters in the scanned string.
For example, this `if (sscanf(string, "%d", &number) == 1)' will match a number,
but also it will match number with some garbage appended, like "123abc".
As a result, device mapper accepts garbage after some numbers. For example
the command `dmsetup create vg1-new --table "0 16384 linear 254:1bla 34816bla"'
will pass without an error.
This patch fixes all sscanf uses in device mapper. It appends "%c" with
a pointer to a dummy character variable to every sscanf statement.
The construct `if (sscanf(string, "%d%c", &number, &dummy) == 1)' succeeds
only if string is a null-terminated number (optionally preceded by some
whitespace characters). If there is some character appended after the number,
sscanf matches "%c", writes the character to the dummy variable and returns 2.
We check the return value for 1 and consequently reject numbers with some
garbage appended.

This patch adjusts the multipath target to allow a table with both 0
priority groups and 0 for the initial priority group number.
If any mpath device is held open when all paths in the last priority
group have failed, userspace multipathd will attempt to reload the
associated DM table to reflect the fact that the device no longer has
any priority groups. But the reload attempt always failed because the
multipath target did not allow 0 priority groups.
All multipath target messages related to priority group (enable_group,
disable_group, switch_group) will handle a priority group of 0 (will
cause error).
When reloading a multipath table with 0 priority groups, userspace
multipathd must be updated to specify an initial priority group number
of 0 (rather than 1).

path is not valid.
The message ioctl would succeed for the 'reinistate_path' and
'fail_path' messages even if action was not taken because the
specified device was not a valid path of the multipath device.
Before, when /dev/vdb is not a path of mpathb:
$ dmsetup message mpathb 0 reinstate_path /dev/vdb
$ echo $?
0
After:
$ dmsetup message mpathb 0 reinstate_path /dev/vdb

failure. Path failure is avoided if a request failed due to a target
error. Instead the target error is immediately passed up the stack.

This patch adds a user-configurable 'pg_init_delay_msecs' feature. Use
this feature to specify the number of milliseconds to delay before
retrying scsi_dh_activate, when SCSI_DH_RETRY is returned.
SCSI Device Handlers return SCSI_DH_IMM_RETRY if we could retry
activation immediately and SCSI_DH_RETRY in cases where it is better to
retry after some delay.
Currently we immediately retry scsi_dh_activate irrespective of
SCSI_DH_IMM_RETRY and SCSI_DH_RETRY.
The 'pg_init_delay_msecs' feature may be provided during table create or
load, e.g.:
dmsetup create --table "0 20971520 multipath 3 queue_if_no_path \
pg_init_delay_msecs 2500 ..." mpatha
The default for 'pg_init_delay_msecs' is 2000 milliseconds.
Maximum configurable delay is 60000 milliseconds. Specifying a
'pg_init_delay_msecs' of 0 will cause immediate retry.

Revert commit 224cb3e981f1b2f9f93dbd49eaef505d17d894c2
dm: Call blk_abort_queue on failed paths
Multipath began to use blk_abort_queue() to allow for
lower latency path deactivation. This was found to
cause list corruption:
the cmd gets blk_abort_queued/timedout run on it and the scsi eh
somehow is able to complete and run scsi_queue_insert while
scsi_request_fn is still trying to process the request.

Enable discard support in the DM multipath target.
This discard support depends on a few discard-specific fixes to the
block layer's request stacking driver methods.
Discard requests are optional so don't allow a failed discard to trigger
path failures. If there is a real problem with a given path the
barriers associated with the discard (either before or after the
discard) will cause path failure. That said, unconditionally passing
discard failures up the stack is not ideal. This must be fixed once DM
has more information about the nature of the underlying storage failure.

m->queue_io is set to block processing I/Os, and it needs to be kept
while pg-init, which issues multiple path activations, is in progress.
But m->queue is cleared when a path activation completes without error
in pg_init_done(), even while other path activations are in progress.
That may cause undesired -EIO on paths which are not complete activation.
This patch fixes that by not clearing m->queue_io until all path
activations complete.
(Before the hardware handlers were moved into the SCSI layer, pg_init
only used one path.)
