2022-07-28dm: fix dm-raid crash if md_handle_request() splits bioMike Snitzer1-2/+2
Commit ca522482e3eaf ("dm: pass NULL bdev to bio_alloc_clone") introduced the optimization to _not_ perform bio_associate_blkg()'s relatively costly work when DM core clones its bio. But in doing so it exposed the possibility for DM's cloned bio to alter DM target behavior (e.g. crash) if a target were to issue IO without first calling bio_set_dev(). The DM raid target can trigger an MD crash due to its need to split the DM bio that is passed to md_handle_request(). The split will recurse to submit_bio_noacct() using a bio with an uninitialized ->bi_blkg. This NULL bio->bi_blkg causes blk_throtl_bio() to dereference a NULL blkg_to_tg(bio->bi_blkg). Fix this in DM core by adding a new 'needs_bio_set_dev' target flag that will make alloc_tio() call bio_set_dev() on behalf of the target. dm-raid is the only target that requires this flag. bio_set_dev() initializes the DM cloned bio's ->bi_blkg, using bio_associate_blkg, before passing the bio to md_handle_request(). Long-term fix would be to audit and refactor MD code to rely on DM to split its bio, using dm_accept_partial_bio(), but there are MD raid personalities (e.g. raid1 and raid10) whose implementation are tightly coupled to handling the bio splitting inline.

2022-06-28treewide: uapi: Replace zero-length arrays with flexible-array membersGustavo A. R. Silva1-4/+4
There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2]. This code was transformed with the help of Coccinelle: (linux-5.19-rc2$ spatch --jobs $(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN) --sp-file script.cocci --include-headers --dir . > output.patch) @@ identifier S, member, array; type T1, T2; @@ struct S { ...

2022-02-21dm: add dm_submit_bio_remap interfaceMike Snitzer1-2/+2
Where possible, switch from early bio-based IO accounting (at the time DM clones each incoming bio) to late IO accounting just before each remapped bio is issued to underlying device via submit_bio_noacct(). Allows more precise bio-based IO accounting for DM targets that use their own workqueues to perform additional processing of each bio in conjunction with their DM_MAPIO_SUBMITTED return from their map function. When a target is updated to use dm_submit_bio_remap() they must also set ti->accounts_remapped_io to true. Use xchg() in start_io_acct(), as suggested by Mikulas, to ensure each IO is only started once. The xchg race only happens if __send_duplicate_bios() sends multiple bios -- that case is reflected via tio->is_duplicate_bio. Given the niche nature of this race, it is best to avoid any xchg performance penalty for normal IO. For IO that was never submitted with dm_bio_submit_remap(), but the target completes the clone with bio_endio, accounting is started then ended and pending_io counter decremented.

2021-08-10dm ima: measure data on table loadTushar Sugandhi1-0/+6
DM configures a block device with various target specific attributes passed to it as a table. DM loads the table, and calls each target’s respective constructors with the attributes as input parameters. Some of these attributes are critical to ensure the device meets certain security bar. Thus, IMA should measure these attributes, to ensure they are not tampered with, during the lifetime of the device. So that the external services can have high confidence in the configuration of the block-devices on a given system. Some devices may have large tables. And a given device may change its state (table-load, suspend, resume, rename, remove, table-clear etc.) many times. Measuring these attributes each time when the device changes its state will significantly increase the size of the IMA logs. Further, once configured, these attributes are not expected to change unless a new table is loaded, or a device is removed and recreated. Therefore the clear-text of the attributes should only be measured during table load, and the hash of the active/inactive table should be measured for the remaining device state changes. Export IMA function ima_measure_critical_data() to allow measurement of DM device parameters, as well as target specific attributes, during table load. Compute the hash of the inactive table and store it for measurements during future state change. If a load is called multiple times, update the inactive table hash with the hash of the latest populated table. So that the correct inactive table hash is measured when the device transitions to different states like resume, remove, rename, etc. Signed-off-by: Tushar Sugandhi <tusharsu@linux.microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com> # leak fix Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>
2021-03-26dm ioctl: return UUID in DM_LIST_DEVICES_CMD resultMikulas Patocka1-2/+16
When LVM needs to find a device with a particular UUID it needs to ask for UUID for each device. This patch returns UUID directly in the list of devices, so that LVM doesn't have to query all the devices with an ioctl. The UUID is returned if the flag DM_UUID_FLAG is set in the parameters. Returning UUID is done in backward-compatible way. There's one unused 32-bit word value after the event number. This patch sets the bit DM_NAME_LIST_FLAG_HAS_UUID if UUID is present and DM_NAME_LIST_FLAG_DOESNT_HAVE_UUID if it isn't (if none of these bits is set, then we have an old kernel that doesn't support returning UUIDs). The UUID is stored after this word. The 'next' value is updated to point after the UUID, so that old version of libdevmapper will skip the UUID without attempting to interpret it.

2021-02-11dm: add support for passing through inline crypto supportSatya Tangirala1-2/+2
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.

2018-04-04dm: hold DM table for duration of ioctl rather than use blkdev_getMike Snitzer1-2/+2
Commit 519049afead ("dm: use blkdev_get rather than bdgrab when issuing pass-through ioctl") inadvertantly introduced a regression relative to users of device cgroups that issue ioctls (e.g. libvirt). Using blkdev_get() in DM's passthrough ioctl support implicitly introduced a cgroup permissions check that would fail unless care were taken to add all devices in the IO stack to the device cgroup. E.g. rather than just adding the top-level DM multipath device to the cgroup all the underlying devices would need to be allowed. Fix this, to no longer require allowing all underlying devices, by simply holding the live DM table (which includes the table's original blkdev_get() reference on the blockdevice that the ioctl will be issued to) for the duration of the ioctl. Also, bump the DM ioctl version so a user can know that their device cgroup allow workaround is no longer needed.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with a licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the license under which the file is supposed to be. This makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license. Update these files with an SPDX license identifier. The identifier was chosen based on the license information in the file. GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall exception: NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work". This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL code, without confusing license compliance tools. Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier. The format is: ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE) SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. The update does not remove existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will happen in a separate step. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the methodology of how this patch was researched.

2017-09-25dm ioctl: fix alignment of event number in the device listMikulas Patocka1-2/+2
The size of struct dm_name_list is different on 32-bit and 64-bit kernels (so "(nl + 1)" differs between 32-bit and 64-bit kernels). This mismatch caused some harmless difference in padding when using 32-bit or 64-bit kernel. Commit 23d70c5e52dd ("dm ioctl: report event number in DM_LIST_DEVICES") added reporting event number in the output of DM_LIST_DEVICES_CMD. This difference in padding makes it impossible for userspace to determine the location of the event number (the location would be different when running on 32-bit and 64-bit kernels). Fix the padding by using offsetof(struct dm_name_list, name) instead of sizeof(struct dm_name_list) to determine the location of entries. Also, the ioctl version number is incremented to 37 so that userspace can use the version number to determine that the event number is present and correctly located. In addition, a global event is now raised when a DM device is created, removed, renamed or when table is swapped, so that the user can monitor for device changes.

This ioctl will record the current global event number in the structure dm_file, so that next select or poll call will wait until new events arrived since this ioctl. The DM_DEV_ARM_POLL ioctl has the same effect as closing and reopening the handle. Using the DM_DEV_ARM_POLL ioctl is optional - if the userspace is OK with closing and reopening the /dev/mapper/control handle after select or poll, there is no need to re-arm via ioctl. Usage: 1. open the /dev/mapper/control device 2. send the DM_DEV_ARM_POLL ioctl 3. scan the event numbers of all devices we are interested in and process them 4. call select, poll or epoll on the handle (it waits until some new event happens since the DM_DEV_ARM_POLL ioctl) 5. go to step 2 Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andy Grover <agrover@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

2016-07-20dm: add infrastructure for DAX supportToshi Kani1-2/+2
Change mapped device to implement direct_access function, dm_blk_direct_access(), which calls a target direct_access function. 'struct target_type' is extended to have target direct_access interface. This function limits direct accessible size to the dm_target's limit with max_io_len(). Add dm_table_supports_dax() to iterate all targets and associated block devices to check for DAX support. To add DAX support to a DM target the target must only implement the direct_access function. Add a new dm type, DM_TYPE_DAX_BIO_BASED, which indicates that mapped device supports DAX and is bio based. This new type is used to assure that all target devices have DAX support and remain that way after QUEUE_FLAG_DAX is set in mapped device. At initial table load, QUEUE_FLAG_DAX is set to mapped device when setting DM_TYPE_DAX_BIO_BASED to the type. Any subsequent table load to the mapped device must have the same type, or else it fails per the check in table_load().

2015-04-15dm: add full blk-mq support to request-based DMMike Snitzer1-2/+2
Commit e5863d9ad ("dm: allocate requests in target when stacking on blk-mq devices") served as the first step toward fully utilizing blk-mq in request-based DM -- it enabled stacking an old-style (request_fn) request_queue ontop of the underlying blk-mq device(s). That first step didn't improve performance of DM multipath ontop of fast blk-mq devices (e.g. NVMe) because the top-level old-style request_queue was severely limited by the queue_lock. The second step offered here enables stacking a blk-mq request_queue ontop of the underlying blk-mq device(s). This unlocks significant performance gains on fast blk-mq devices, Keith Busch tested on his NVMe testbed and offered this really positive news: "Just providing a performance update. All my fio tests are getting roughly equal performance whether accessed through the raw block device or the multipath device mapper (~470k IOPS). I could only push ~20% of the raw iops through dm before this conversion, so this latest tree is looking really solid from a performance standpoint."

2015-02-09dm: allocate requests in target when stacking on blk-mq devicesMike Snitzer1-2/+2
For blk-mq request-based DM the responsibility of allocating a cloned request is transfered from DM core to the target type. Doing so enables the cloned request to be allocated from the appropriate blk-mq request_queue's pool (only the DM target, e.g. multipath, can know which block device to send a given cloned request to). Care was taken to preserve compatibility with old-style block request completion that requires request-based DM _not_ acquire the clone request's queue lock in the completion path. As such, there are now 2 different request-based DM target_type interfaces: 1) the original .map_rq() interface will continue to be used for non-blk-mq devices -- the preallocated clone request is passed in from DM core. 2) a new .clone_and_map_rq() and .release_clone_rq() will be used for blk-mq devices -- blk_get_request() and blk_put_request() are used respectively from these hooks. dm_table_set_type() was updated to detect if the request-based target is being stacked on blk-mq devices, if so DM_TYPE_MQ_REQUEST_BASED is set. DM core disallows switching the DM table's type after it is set. This means that there is no mixing of non-blk-mq and blk-mq devices within the same request-based DM table.

2014-11-19dm: enhance internal suspend and resume interfaceMike Snitzer1-0/+5
Rename dm_internal_{suspend,resume} to dm_internal_{suspend,resume}_fast -- dm-stats will continue using these methods to avoid all the extra suspend/resume logic that is not needed in order to quickly flush IO. Introduce dm_internal_suspend_noflush() variant that actually calls the mapped_device's target callbacks -- otherwise target-specific hooks are avoided (e.g. dm-thin's thin_presuspend and thin_postsuspend). Common code between dm_internal_{suspend_noflush,resume} and dm_{suspend,resume} was factored out as __dm_{suspend,resume}. Update dm_internal_{suspend_noflush,resume} to always take and release the mapped_device's suspend_lock. Also update dm_{suspend,resume} to be aware of potential for DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG to be set and respond accordingly by interruptibly waiting for the DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG to be cleared. Add lockdep annotation to dm_suspend() and dm_resume(). The existing DM_SUSPEND_FLAG remains unchanged. DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG is set by dm_internal_suspend_noflush() and cleared by dm_internal_resume(). Both DM_SUSPEND_FLAG and DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG may be set if a device was already suspended when dm_internal_suspend_noflush() was called -- this can be thought of as a "nested suspend". A "nested suspend" can occur with legacy userspace dm-thin code that might suspend all active thin volumes before suspending the pool for resize. But otherwise, in the normal dm-thin-pool suspend case moving forward: the thin-pool will have DM_SUSPEND_FLAG set and all active thins from that thin-pool will have DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG set. Also add DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG to status report. This new DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG state is being reported to assist with debugging (e.g. 'dmsetup info' will report an internally suspended device accordingly).

2014-10-05dm: allow active and inactive tables to share dm_devsBenjamin Marzinski1-2/+2
Until this change, when loading a new DM table, DM core would re-open all of the devices in the DM table. Now, DM core will avoid redundant device opens (and closes when destroying the old table) if the old table already has a device open using the same mode. This is achieved by managing reference counts on the table_devices that DM core now stores in the mapped_device structure (rather than in the dm_table structure). So a mapped_device's active and inactive dm_tables' dm_dev lists now just point to the dm_devs stored in the mapped_device's table_devices list. This improvement in DM core's device reference counting has the side-effect of fixing a long-standing limitation of the multipath target: a DM multipath table couldn't include any paths that were unusable (failed). For example: if all paths have failed and you add a new, working, path to the table; you can't use it since the table load would fail due to it still containing failed paths. Now a re-load of a multipath table can include failed devices and when those devices become active again they can be used instantly. The device list code in dm.c isn't a straight copy/paste from the code in dm-table.c, but it's very close (aside from some variable renames). One subtle difference is that find_table_device for the tables_devices list will only match devices with the same name and mode. This is because we don't want to upgrade a device's mode in the active table when an inactive table is loaded. Access to the mapped_device structure's tables_devices list requires a mutex (tables_devices_lock), so that tables cannot be created and destroyed concurrently.

2013-11-09dm: allow remove to be deferredMikulas Patocka1-2/+13
This patch allows the removal of an open device to be deferred until it is closed. (Previously such a removal attempt would fail.) The deferred remove functionality is enabled by setting the flag DM_DEFERRED_REMOVE in the ioctl structure on DM_DEV_REMOVE or DM_REMOVE_ALL ioctl. On return from DM_DEV_REMOVE, the flag DM_DEFERRED_REMOVE indicates if the device was removed immediately or flagged to be removed on close - if the flag is clear, the device was removed. On return from DM_DEV_STATUS and other ioctls, the flag DM_DEFERRED_REMOVE is set if the device is scheduled to be removed on closure. A device that is scheduled to be deleted can be revived using the message "@cancel_deferred_remove". This message clears the DMF_DEFERRED_REMOVE flag so that the device won't be deleted on close.

2013-09-05dm: add statistics supportMikulas Patocka1-2/+2
Support the collection of I/O statistics on user-defined regions of a DM device. If no regions are defined no statistics are collected so there isn't any performance impact. Only bio-based DM devices are currently supported. Each user-defined region specifies a starting sector, length and step. Individual statistics will be collected for each step-sized area within the range specified. The I/O statistics counters for each step-sized area of a region are in the same format as /sys/block/*/stat or /proc/diskstats but extra counters (12 and 13) are provided: total time spent reading and writing in milliseconds. All these counters may be accessed by sending the @stats_print message to the appropriate DM device via dmsetup. The creation of DM statistics will allocate memory via kmalloc or fallback to using vmalloc space. At most, 1/4 of the overall system memory may be allocated by DM statistics. The admin can see how much memory is used by reading /sys/module/dm_mod/parameters/stats_current_allocated_bytes See Documentation/device-mapper/statistics.txt for more details.

These *_fast functions use non-sleepable RCU, so the caller must not block between them. If the code changes active or inactive dm table, it must call dm_sync_table before destroying the old table.

2013-03-01dm ioctl: allow message to return dataMikulas Patocka1-0/+5
This patch introduces enhanced message support that allows the device-mapper core to recognise messages that are common to all devices, and for messages to return data to userspace. Core messages are processed by the function "message_for_md". If the device mapper doesn't support the message, it is passed to the target driver. If the message returns data, the kernel sets the flag DM_MESSAGE_OUT_FLAG. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
2013-03-01dm ioctl: optimize functions without variable paramsMikulas Patocka1-3/+3
Device-mapper ioctls receive and send data in a buffer supplied by userspace. The buffer has two parts. The first part contains a 'struct dm_ioctl' and has a fixed size. The second part depends on the ioctl and has a variable size. This patch recognises the specific ioctls that do not use the variable part of the buffer and skips allocating memory for it. In particular, when a device is suspended and a resume ioctl is sent, this now avoid memory allocation completely. The variable "struct dm_ioctl tmp" is moved from the function copy_params to its caller ctl_ioctl and renamed to param_kernel. It is used directly when the ioctl function doesn't need any arguments.
