dm thin: commit before gathering status

2012-07-27T14:08:16+00:00

Commit outstanding metadata before returning the status for a dm thin
pool so that the numbers reported are as up-to-date as possible.

The commit is not performed if the device is suspended or if
the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG is supplied by userspace and passed to the target
through a new 'status_flags' parameter in the target's dm_status_fn.

The userspace dmsetup tool will support the --noflush flag with the
'dmsetup status' and 'dmsetup wait' commands from version 1.02.76
onwards.

dm: support non power of two target max_io_len

2012-07-27T14:08:00+00:00

Remove the restriction that limits a target's specified maximum incoming
I/O size to be a power of 2.

Rename this setting from 'split_io' to the less-ambiguous 'max_io_len'.
Change it from sector_t to uint32_t, which is plenty big enough, and
introduce a wrapper function dm_set_target_max_io_len() to set it.
Use sector_div() to process it now that it is not necessarily a power of 2.

dm table: add immutable feature

2011-10-31T20:19:04+00:00

Introduce DM_TARGET_IMMUTABLE to indicate that the target type cannot be mixed
with any other target type, and once loaded into a device, it cannot be
replaced with a table containing a different type.

The thin provisioning pool device will use this.

dm ioctl: fill in device parameters in more ioctls

2011-08-02T11:32:06+00:00

Move parameter filling from find_device to __find_device_hash_cell.

This patch causes ioctls using __find_device_hash_cell
(DM_DEV_REMOVE_CMD, DM_DEV_SUSPEND_CMD - resume, DM_TABLE_CLEAR_CMD)
to return device parameters, bringing them into line with the other
ioctls.

dm ioctl: add flag to wipe buffers for secure data

2011-03-24T13:54:30+00:00

Add DM_SECURE_DATA_FLAG which userspace can use to ensure
that all buffers allocated for dm-ioctl are wiped
immediately after use.

The user buffer is wiped as well (we do not want to keep
and return sensitive data back to userspace if the flag is set).

Wiping is useful for cryptsetup to ensure that the key
is present in memory only in defined places and only
for the time needed.

(For crypt, key can be present in table during load or table
status, wait and message commands).

dm: use non reentrant workqueues if equivalent

2011-01-13T19:59:58+00:00

kmirrord_wq, kcopyd_work and md->wq are created per dm instance and
serve only a single work item from the dm instance, so non-reentrant
workqueues would provide the same ordering guarantees as ordered ones
while allowing CPU affinity and use of the workqueues for other
purposes.  Switch them to non-reentrant workqueues.

dm ioctl: allow rename to fill empty uuid

2011-01-13T19:59:47+00:00

Allow the uuid of a mapped device to be set after device creation.
Previously the uuid (which is optional) could only be set by
DM_DEV_CREATE.  If no uuid was supplied it could not be set later.

Sometimes it's necessary to create the device before the uuid is known,
and in such cases the uuid must be filled in after the creation.

This patch extends DM_DEV_RENAME to accept a uuid accompanied by
a new flag DM_UUID_FLAG.  This can only be done once and if no
uuid was previously supplied.  It cannot be used to change an
existing uuid.

DM_VERSION_MINOR is also bumped to 19 to indicate this interface
extension is available.

dm ioctl: make bio or request based device type immutable

2010-08-12T03:14:01+00:00

Determine whether a mapped device is bio-based or request-based when
loading its first (inactive) table and don't allow that to be changed
later.

This patch performs different device initialisation in each of the two
cases.  (We don't think it's necessary to add code to support changing
between the two types.)

Allowed md->type transitions:
  DM_TYPE_NONE to DM_TYPE_BIO_BASED
  DM_TYPE_NONE to DM_TYPE_REQUEST_BASED

We now prevent table_load from replacing the inactive table with a
conflicting type of table even after an explicit table_clear.

Introduce 'type_lock' into the struct mapped_device to protect md->type
and to prepare for the next patch that will change the queue
initialization and allocate memory while md->type_lock is held.
