913d2fdcf6 rbd: always pass ops array to rbd_req_sync_op()
All of the callers of rbd_req_sync_op() except one pass a non-null
"ops" pointer.  The only one that does not is rbd_req_sync_read(),
which passes CEPH_OSD_OP_READ as its "opcode" and, CEPH_OSD_FLAG_READ
for "flags".

By allocating the ops array in rbd_req_sync_read() and moving the
special case code for the null ops pointer into it, it becomes
clear that much of that code is not even necessary.

In addition, the "opcode" argument to rbd_req_sync_op() is never
actually used, so get rid of that.

de71a2970d rbd: rename rbd_device->id
The "id" field of an rbd device structure represents the unique
client-local device id mapped to the underlying rbd image.  Each rbd
image will have another id--the image id--and each snapshot has its
own id as well.  The simple name "id" no longer conveys the
information one might like to have.

to think more about context.

505cbb9bed rbd: set snapc->seq only when refreshing header
In rbd_header_add_snap() there is code to set snapc->seq to the
just-added snapshot id.  This is the only remnant left of the
use of that field for recording which snapshot an rbd_dev was
associated with.  That functionality is no longer supported,
so get rid of that final bit of code.

Doing so means we never actually set snapc->seq any more.  On the
server, the snapshot context's sequence value represents the highest
snapshot id ever issued for a particular rbd image.  So we'll make
it have that meaning here as well.  To do so, set this value
whenever the rbd header is (re-)read.  That way it will always be
consistent with the rest of the snapshot context we maintain.

78dc447d3c rbd: preserve snapc->seq in rbd_header_set_snap()
In rbd_header_set_snap(), there is logic to make the snap context's
seq field get set to a particular snapshot id, or 0 if there is no
snapshot for the rbd image.

This seems to be an artifact of how the current snapshot id for an
rbd_dev was recorded before the rbd_dev->snap_id field began to be
used for that purpose.

There's no need to update the value of snapc->seq here any more, so
stop doing it.  Tidy up a few local variables in that function
while we're at it.

75fe9e1981 rbd: don't use snapc->seq that way
In what appears to be an artifact of a different way of encoding
whether an rbd image maps a snapshot, __rbd_refresh_header() has
code that arranges to update the seq value in an rbd image's
snapshot context to point to the first entry in its snapshot
array if that's where it was pointing initially.

We now use rbd_dev->snap_id to record the snapshot id--using the
special value CEPH_NOSNAP to indicate the rbd_dev is not mapping a
snapshot at all.

There is therefore no need to check for this case, nor to update the
seq value, in __rbd_refresh_header().  Just preserve the seq value
that rbd_read_header() provides (which, at the moment, is nothing).

d1d2564654 rbd: use reference counting for the snap context
This prevents a race between requests with a given snap context and
header updates that free it. The osd client was already expecting the
snap context to be reference counted, since it get()s it in
ceph_osdc_build_request and put()s it when the request completes.

Also remove the second down_read()/up_read() on header_rwsem in
rbd_do_request, which wasn't actually preventing this race or
protecting any other data.

cc8394d86f dm thin: provide userspace access to pool metadata
This patch implements two new messages that can be sent to the thin
pool target allowing it to take a snapshot of the _metadata_.  This,
read-only snapshot can be accessed by userland, concurrently with the
live target.

Only one metadata snapshot can be held at a time.  The pool's status
line will give the block location for the current msnap.

Since version 0.1.5 of the userland thin provisioning tools, the
thin_dump program displays the msnap as follows:

    thin_dump -m <msnap root> <metadata dev>

Available here: https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools

Now that userland can access the metadata we can do various things
that have traditionally been kernel side tasks:

     i) Incremental backups.

     By using metadata snapshots we can work out what blocks have
     changed over time.  Combined with data snapshots we can ensure
     the data doesn't change while we back it up.

     A short proof of concept script can be found here:

     https://github.com/jthornber/thinp-test-suite/blob/master/incremental_backup_example.rb

     ii) Migration of thin devices from one pool to another.

     iii) Merging snapshots back into an external origin.

     iv) Asyncronous replication.

a24c25696b dm thin: use slab mempools
Use dedicated caches prefixed with a "dm_" name rather than relying on
kmalloc mempools backed by generic slab caches so the memory usage of
thin provisioning (and any leaks) can be accounted for independently.

35991652ba dm mpath: allow ioctls to trigger pg init
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.

f220fd4efb dm mpath: delay retry of bypassed pg
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.

1fbdd2b3a3 dm mpath: reduce size of struct multipath
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
existing flag (saves 8-bytes).  This allows future flags to be added
without each consuming an unsigned int.

4fc3acf291 Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net
Pull networking updates from David Miller:

 1) Make syn floods consume significantly less resources by

    a) Not pre-COW'ing routing metrics for SYN/ACKs
    b) Mirroring the device queue mapping of the SYN for the SYN/ACK
       reply.

    Both from Eric Dumazet.

 2) Fix calculation errors in Byte Queue Limiting, from Hiroaki SHIMODA.

 3) Validate the length requested when building a paged SKB for a
    socket, so we don't overrun the page vector accidently.  From Jason
    Wang.

 4) When netlabel is disabled, we abort all IP option processing when we
    see a CIPSO option.  This isn't the right thing to do, we should
    simply skip over it and continue processing the remaining options
    (if any).  Fix from Paul Moore.

 5) SRIOV fixes for the mellanox driver from Jack orgenstein and Marcel
    Apfelbaum.

 6) 8139cp enables the receiver before the ring address is properly
    programmed, which potentially lets the device crap over random
    memory.  Fix from Jason Wang.

 7) e1000/e1000e fixes for i217 RST handling, and an improper buffer
    address reference in jumbo RX frame processing from Bruce Allan and
    Sebastian Andrzej Siewior, respectively.
