This patch fixes a particular type of data corruption that has been
encountered when loading a snapshot's metadata from disk.
When we allocate a new chunk in persistent_prepare, we increment
ps->next_free and we make sure that it doesn't point to a metadata area
by further incrementing it if necessary.
When we load metadata from disk on device activation, ps->next_free is
positioned after the last used data chunk. However, if this last used
data chunk is followed by a metadata area, ps->next_free is positioned
erroneously to the metadata area. A newly-allocated chunk is placed at
the same location as the metadata area, resulting in data or metadata
corruption.
This patch changes the code so that ps->next_free skips the metadata
area when metadata are loaded in function read_exceptions.
The patch also moves a piece of code from persistent_prepare_exception
to a separate function skip_metadata to avoid code duplication.

The kernel reports a lockdep warning if a snapshot is invalidated because
it runs out of space.
The lockdep warning was triggered by commit 0976dfc1d0cd80a4e9dfaf87bd87
("workqueue: Catch more locking problems with flush_work()") in v3.5.
The warning is false positive. The real cause for the warning is that
the lockdep engine treats different instances of md->lock as a single
lock.
This patch is a workaround - we use flush_workqueue instead of flush_work.
This code path is not performance sensitive (it is called only on
initialization or invalidation), thus it doesn't matter that we flush the
whole workqueue.
The real fix for the problem would be to teach the lockdep engine to treat
different instances of md->lock as separate locks.

This patch makes dm-snapshot flush disk cache when writing metadata for
merging snapshot.
Without cache flushing the disk may reorder metadata write and other
data writes and there is a possibility of data corruption in case of
power fault.

Replace the arbitrary calculation of an initial io struct mempool size
with a constant.
The code calculated the number of reserved structures based on the request
size and used a "magic" multiplication constant of 4. This patch changes
it to reserve a fixed number - itself still chosen quite arbitrarily.
Further testing might show if there is a better number to choose.
Note that if there is no memory pressure, we can still allocate an
arbitrary number of "struct io" structures. One structure is enough to
process the whole request.

metadata_wq serves on-stack work items from chunk_io(). Even if
multiple chunk_io() are simultaneously in progress, each is
independent and queued only once, so multithreaded workqueue can be
safely used.
Switch metadata_wq to multithread and flush the work item instead of
the workqueue in chunk_io().

Silly though it is, completions and wait_queue_heads use foo_ONSTACK
(COMPLETION_INITIALIZER_ONSTACK, DECLARE_COMPLETION_ONSTACK,
__WAIT_QUEUE_HEAD_INIT_ONSTACK and DECLARE_WAIT_QUEUE_HEAD_ONSTACK) so I
guess workqueues should do the same thing.

This patch converts bio-based dm to support REQ_FLUSH/FUA instead of
now deprecated REQ_HARDBARRIER.
* -EOPNOTSUPP handling logic dropped.
* Preflush is handled as before but postflush is dropped and replaced
with passing down REQ_FUA to member request_queues. This replaces
one array wide cache flush w/ member specific FUA writes.
* __split_and_process_bio() now calls __clone_and_map_flush() directly
for flushes and guarantees all FLUSH bio's going to targets are zero
` length.
* It's now guaranteed that all FLUSH bio's which are passed onto dm
targets are zero length. bio_empty_barrier() tests are replaced
with REQ_FLUSH tests.
* Empty WRITE_BARRIERs are replaced with WRITE_FLUSHes.
* Dropped unlikely() around REQ_FLUSH tests. Flushes are not unlikely
enough to be marked with unlikely().
* Block layer now filters out REQ_FLUSH/FUA bio's if the request_queue
doesn't support cache flushing. Advertise REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA
capability.
* Request based dm isn't converted yet. dm_init_request_based_queue()
resets flush support to 0 for now. To avoid disturbing request
based dm code, dm->flush_error is added for bio based dm while
requested based dm continues to use dm->barrier_error.
Lightly tested linear, stripe, raid1, snap and crypt targets. Please
proceed with caution as I'm not familiar with the code base.

Add functions that decide how many consecutive chunks of snapshot to
merge back into the origin next and to update the metadata afterwards.
prepare_merge provides a pointer to the most recent still-to-be-merged
chunk and returns how many previous ones are consecutive and can be
processed together.
commit_merge removes the nr_merged most-recent chunks permanently from
the exception store. The number must not exceed that returned by
prepare_merge.
Introduce NUM_SNAPSHOT_HDR_CHUNKS to show where the snapshot header
chunk is accounted for.

Store the reference to the snapshot cow device in the core snapshot
code instead of each exception store. It can be accessed through the
new function dm_snap_cow(). Exception stores should each now maintain a
reference to their parent snapshot struct.
This is cleaner and makes part of the forthcoming snapshot merge code simpler.

Use unsigned integer chunk size.
Maximum chunk size is 512kB, there won't ever be need to use 4GB chunk size,
so the number can be 32-bit. This fixes compiler failure on 32-bit systems

Fix some problems seen in the chunk size processing when activating a
pre-existing snapshot.
For a new snapshot, the chunk size can either be supplied by the creator
or a default value can be used. For an existing snapshot, the
chunk size in the snapshot header on disk should always be used.
If someone attempts to load an existing snapshot and has the 'default
chunk size' option set, the kernel uses its default value even when it
is incorrect for the snapshot being loaded. This patch ensures the
correct on-disk value is always used.
Secondly, when the code does use the chunk size stored on the disk it is
prudent to revalidate it, so the code can exit cleanly if it got
corrupted as happened in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=461506 .

If a persistent snapshot fills up, a race can corrupt the on-disk header
which causes a crash on any future attempt to activate the snapshot
(typically while booting). This patch fixes the race.
When the snapshot overflows, __invalidate_snapshot is called, which calls
snapshot store method drop_snapshot. It goes to persistent_drop_snapshot that
calls write_header. write_header constructs the new header in the "area"
location.
Concurrently, an existing kcopyd job may finish, call copy_callback
and commit_exception method, that goes to persistent_commit_exception.
persistent_commit_exception doesn't do locking, relying on the fact that
callbacks are single-threaded, but it can race with snapshot invalidation and
overwrite the header that is just being written while the snapshot is being
invalidated.
The result of this race is a corrupted header being written that can
lead to a crash on further reactivation (if chunk_size is zero in the
corrupted header).
The fix is to use separate memory areas for each.

Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical
block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device.
With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case. The
sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain
512-bytes. Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size
and the logical ditto.
This patch renames hardsect_size to logical_block_size.

The persistent exception store destructor does not properly
account for all conditions in which it can be called. If it
is called after 'ctr' but before 'read_metadata' (e.g. if
something else in 'snapshot_ctr' fails) then it will attempt
to free areas of memory that haven't been allocated yet.
