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.

Let the exception store types print out their status through the new API, rather than having the snapshot code do it. Adjust the buffer position to allow for the preceding DMEMIT in the arguments to type->status().

The logging API needs an extra function to make cluster mirroring possible. This new function allows us to check whether a mirror region is being recovered on another machine in the cluster. This helps us prevent simultaneous recovery I/O and process I/O to the same locations on disk. Cluster-aware log modules will implement this function. Single machine log modules will not. So, there is no performance penalty for single machine mirrors.

Remove the 'dm_dirty_log_internal' structure. The resulting cleanup eliminates extra memory allocations.

upgrade_mode() sets bdev to NULL temporarily, and does not have any locking to exclude anything from seeing that NULL. In dm_table_any_congested() bdev_get_queue() can dereference that NULL and cause a reported oops. Fix this by not changing that field during the mode upgrade.

The tt_internal's 'use' field is superfluous: the module's refcount can do the work properly. An acceptable side-effect is that this increases the reference counts reported by 'lsmod'.

Mikulas Patocka authored
We need to check if the exception was completed after dropping the lock. After regaining the lock, __find_pending_exception checks if the exception was already placed into &s->pending hash. But we don't check if the exception was already completed and placed into &s->complete hash. If the process waiting in alloc_pending_exception was delayed at this point because of a scheduling latency and the exception was meanwhile completed, we'd miss that and allocate another pending exception for already completed chunk. It would lead to a situation where two records for the same chunk exist and potential data corruption because multiple snapshot I/Os to the affected chunk could be redirected to different locations in the snapshot.

Mikulas Patocka authored
If someone sends signal to a process performing synchronous dm-io call, the kernel may crash. The function sync_io attempts to exit with -EINTR if it has pending signal, however the structure "io" is allocated on stack, so already submitted io requests end up touching unallocated stack space and corrupting kernel memory. sync_io sets its state to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE, so the signal can't break out of io_schedule() --- however, if the signal was pending before sync_io entered while (1) loop, the corruption of kernel memory will happen. There is no way to cancel in-progress IOs, so the best solution is to ignore signals at this point.

With my previous patch to save bi_io_vec, the size of dm_raid1_read_record is significantly increased (the vector list takes 3072 bytes on 32-bit machines and 4096 bytes on 64-bit machines). The structure dm_raid1_read_record used to be allocated with kmalloc, but kmalloc aligns the size on the next power-of-two so an object slightly greater than 4096 will allocate 8192 bytes of memory and half of that memory will be wasted. This patch turns kmalloc into a slab cache which doesn't have this padding so it will reduce the memory consumed.

Device mapper saves and restores various fields in the bio, but it doesn't save bi_io_vec. If the device driver modifies this after a partially successful request, dm-raid1 and dm-multipath may attempt to resubmit a bio that has bi_size inconsistent with the size of vector. To make requests resubmittable in dm-raid1 and dm-multipath, we must save and restore the bio vector as well. To reduce the memory overhead involved in this, we do not save the pages in a vector and use a 16-bit field size if the page size is less than 65536.
