The ima documentation for measuring DM targets (dm-ima.rst) is
missing the attribute information for the targets - 'cache', 'integrity',
'multipath', and 'snapshot'. It is also missing the grammar for
various DM events and targets, which can help the attestation servers
to determine what data to expect for a given DM device. Further,
the documentation needs to be updated to incorporate code changes
made to DM ima events and targets as part of this patch series. For
instance, prefixing the event names with "dm_", adding the DM version to
events, prefixing the table hashes in the ima log with the
hash algorithm etc. There are warnings reported by 'make htmldocs' on
dm-ima.rst, which need to be fixed. And lastly, the expected behavior
needs to be documented when the configuration CONFIG_IMA_DISABLE_HTABLE
is disabled.
Update the documentation to add examples for 'cache', 'integrity',
'multipath', and 'snapshot' targets. Add the grammar for
various DM events and targets in Backus Naur form,
so that the attestation servers can interpret and act on the ima
measurements for DM target. Fix htmldocs warnings in dm-ima.rst. Update
the documentation to be consistent with the code changes that are part of
this patch series.

To interpret various DM target measurement data in IMA logs,
a separate documentation page is needed under

Commit 95b88f4d71cb953e02206be3c757083601391a0f ("dm writecache: pause
writeback if cache full and origin being written directly") introduced a
code that pauses cache flushing if we are issuing writes directly to the
origin.
Improve that initial commit by making the timeout code configurable
(via the option "pause_writeback"). Also change the default from 1s to
3s because it performed better.

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:
- Fix DM integrity's HMAC support to provide enhanced security of
internal_hash and journal_mac capabilities.
- Various DM writecache fixes to address performance, fix table output
to match what was provided at table creation, fix writing beyond end
of device when shrinking underlying data device, and a couple other
small cleanups.
- Add DM crypt support for using trusted keys.
- Fix deadlock when swapping to DM crypt device by throttling number of
in-flight REQ_SWAP bios. Implemented in DM core so that other
bio-based targets can opt-in by setting ti->limit_swap_bios.
- Fix various inverted logic bugs in the .iterate_devices callout
functions that are used to assess if specific feature or capability
is supported across all devices being combined/stacked by DM.
- Fix DM era target bugs that exposed users to lost writes or memory
leaks.
- Add DM core support for passing through inline crypto support of
underlying devices. Includes block/keyslot-manager changes that
enable extending this support to DM.
- Various small fixes and cleanups (spelling fixes, front padding
calculation cleanup, cleanup conditional zoned support in targets,
etc).

The "fix_hmac" argument improves security of internal_hash and
journal_mac:
- the section number is mixed to the mac, so that an attacker can't
copy sectors from one journal section to another journal section
- the superblock is protected by journal_mac
- a 16-byte salt stored in the superblock is mixed to the mac, so
that the attacker can't detect that two disks have the same hmac
key and also to disallow the attacker to move sectors from one
disk to another

Otherwise a malicious user could (ab)use the "recalculate" feature
that makes dm-integrity calculate the checksums in the background
while the device is already usable. When the system restarts before all
checksums have been calculated, the calculation continues where it was
interrupted even if the recalculate feature is not requested the next
time the dm device is set up.
Disable recalculating if we use internal_hash or journal_hash with a
key (e.g. HMAC) and we don't have the "legacy_recalculate" flag.
This may break activation of a volume, created by an older kernel,
that is not yet fully recalculated -- if this happens, the user should
add the "legacy_recalculate" flag to constructor parameters.

Add a new configuration DM_VERITY_VERIFY_ROOTHASH_SIG_SECONDARY_KEYRING
to enable dm-verity signatures to be verified against the secondary
trusted keyring. Instead of relying on the builtin trusted keyring
(with hard-coded certificates), the second trusted keyring can include
certificate authorities from the builtin trusted keyring and child
certificates loaded at run time. Using the secondary trusted keyring
enables to use dm-verity disks (e.g. loop devices) signed by keys which
did not exist at kernel build time, leveraging the certificate chain of
trust model. In practice, this makes it possible to update certificates
without kernel update and reboot, aligning with module and kernel
(kexec) signature verification which already use the secondary trusted
keyring.

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:
- DM multipath locking fixes around m->flags tests and improvements to
bio-based code so that it follows patterns established by
request-based code.
- Request-based DM core improvement to eliminate unnecessary call to
blk_mq_queue_stopped().
- Add "panic_on_corruption" error handling mode to DM verity target.
- DM bufio fix to to perform buffer cleanup from a workqueue rather
than wait for IO in reclaim context from shrinker.
- DM crypt improvement to optionally avoid async processing via
workqueues for reads and/or writes -- via "no_read_workqueue" and
"no_write_workqueue" features. This more direct IO processing
improves latency and throughput with faster storage. Avoiding
workqueue IO submission for writes (DM_CRYPT_NO_WRITE_WORKQUEUE) is a
requirement for adding zoned block device support to DM crypt.
- Add zoned block device support to DM crypt. Makes use of
DM_CRYPT_NO_WRITE_WORKQUEUE and a new optional feature
(DM_CRYPT_WRITE_INLINE) that allows write completion to wait for
encryption to complete. This allows write ordering to be preserved,
which is needed for zoned block devices.
- Fix DM ebs target's check for REQ_OP_FLUSH.
- Fix DM core's report zones support to not report more zones than were
requested.
- A few small compiler warning fixes.
- DM dust improvements to return output directly to the user rather

Implement handling for metadata version 2. The new metadata adds a
label and UUID for the device mapper device, and additional UUID for
the underlying block devices.
It also allows for an additional regular drive to be used for
emulating random access zones. The emulated zones will be placed
logically in front of the zones from the zoned block device, causing
the superblocks and metadata to be stored on that device.
The first zone of the original zoned device will be used to hold
another, tertiary copy of the metadata; this copy carries a generation
number of 0 and is never updated; it's just used for identification.

Pull device mapper fixes from Mike Snitzer:
- Fix DM multipath by restoring full path selector functionality for
bio-based configurations that don't haave a SCSI device handler.
- Fix dm-btree removal to ensure non-root btree nodes have at least
(max_entries / 3) entries. This resolves userspace thin_check
utility's report of "too few entries in btree_node".
- Fix both the DM thin-provisioning and dm-clone targets to properly
flush the data device prior to metadata commit. This resolves the
potential for inconsistency across a power loss event when the data
device has a volatile writeback cache.

Metadata runs are supposed to be aligned on 4k boundary (so that they work
efficiently with disks with 4k sectors). However, there was a programming
bug that makes them aligned on 128k boundary instead. The unused space is
wasted.
Fix this bug by providing a proper 4k alignment. In order to keep
existing volumes working, we introduce a new flag SB_FLAG_FIXED_PADDING
- when the flag is clear, we calculate the padding the old way. In order
to make sure that the old version cannot mount the volume created by the
new version, we increase superblock version to 4.
Also in order to not break with old integritysetup, we fix alignment
only if the parameter "fix_padding" is present when formatting the
device.

This fixes a flaw causing raid set extensions not to be synchronized
in case the MD bitmap resize required additional pages to be allocated.
Also share resize code in the raid constructor between
new size changes and those occuring during recovery.
Bump the target version to define the change and document
it in Documentation/admin-guide/device-mapper/dm-raid.rst.

Convert the dm-dust documentation to ReST formatting, using literal
blocks for all of the shell command, shell output, and log output
examples.
Add dm-dust to index.rst.
Additionally, fix an annotation in the "querying for specific bad
blocks" section, on the "queryblock ... not found in badblocklist"
example, to properly state that the message appears when a given
block is not found.

Add the dm-clone target, which allows cloning of arbitrary block
devices.
dm-clone produces a one-to-one copy of an existing, read-only source
device into a writable destination device: It presents a virtual block
device which makes all data appear immediately, and redirects reads and
writes accordingly.
The main use case of dm-clone is to clone a potentially remote,
high-latency, read-only, archival-type block device into a writable,
fast, primary-type device for fast, low-latency I/O. The cloned device
is visible/mountable immediately and the copy of the source device to
the destination device happens in the background, in parallel with user
I/O.
When the cloning completes, the dm-clone table can be removed altogether
and be replaced, e.g., by a linear table, mapping directly to the
destination device.
For further information and examples of how to use dm-clone, please read
Documentation/admin-guide/device-mapper/dm-clone.rst

The verification is to support cases where the root hash is not secured
by Trusted Boot, UEFI Secureboot or similar technologies.
One of the use cases for this is for dm-verity volumes mounted after
boot, the root hash provided during the creation of the dm-verity volume
has to be secure and thus in-kernel validation implemented here will be
used before we trust the root hash and allow the block device to be
created.
The signature being provided for verification must verify the root hash
and must be trusted by the builtin keyring for verification to succeed.
The hash is added as a key of type "user" and the description is passed
to the kernel so it can look it up and use it for verification.
Adds CONFIG_DM_VERITY_VERIFY_ROOTHASH_SIG which can be turned on if root
hash verification is needed.
Kernel commandline dm_verity module parameter 'require_signatures' will
indicate whether to force root hash signature verification (for all dm
verity volumes).

There are lots of documents that belong to the admin-guide but
are on random places (most under Documentation root dir).
Move them to the admin guide.
