This patch adds the pushback feature which can suspend and table swap
without returning queued I/Os in targets to applications to the dm core.
Detail explanations are below.
======================================================================
Explanations of the patch
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING
----------------------
If 'DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG' ioctl option is specified at suspend time,
'DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING' flag is set in md->flags at early stage
of dm_suspend() and unset before returning from dm_suspend().
The flag must be visible during the target flushing pending I/Os,
because the pushback feature is enabled only during the flag is set.
So the flag is set before presuspend, where the flush starts,
and unset after the wait for md->pending, where the flush ends.
Target drivers can check this flag by dm_noflush_suspending().
DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE / DM_ENDIO_REQUEUE
-----------------------------------
If DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag is set, target's map() function can
return DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE to request the device mapper core to
put the bio in queue.
Similarly, target's end_io() function can return DM_ENDIO_REQUEUE
to request the same.
These requests are called 'pushback'.
The __map_bio() and clone_endio() in device mapper core treat
these return values as error code and call dec_pending() to end
the I/O.
dec_pending
-----------
The pushback request from target drivers are passed to dec_pending()
as "error" argument.
dec_pending() saves the pushback request in struct dm_io->error.
Once the all splitted clones end, dec_pending() will check it
and put the original bio to md->pushback list.
To avoid the dm_io->error is overwritten by other values,
dec_pending() first checks if the dm_io->error is already set.
So the pushback request supersede any I/O errors.
It is possible that the suspend with DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG is
aborted after the flush started but before it ends
(e.g. by user interrupt).
dec_pending() checks it and returns EIO if it happens.
pushdback list and pushback_lock
--------------------------------
The bio which is requested to push back from target drivers is
queued to md->pushback temporarily in dec_pending(), and after all
pending I/Os return, md->pushback is merged to md->deferred in
dm_suspend() for re-issuing at resume time.
md->pushback_lock protects md->pushback.
The lock should be held with irq disabled because dec_pending()
can be called from interrupt context.
Queueing bios to md->pushback in dec_pending() must be done
atomically with the check for 'DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING' flag.
So md->pushback_lock is held when checking the flag.
Otherwise, dec_pending() may queue a bio to md->pushback after
the interrupted dm_suspend() flushes md->pushback.
Then the bio will be left in md->pushback.
Flag setting in dm_suspend() can be done without md->pushback_lock,
because the flag is checked only after presuspend and the set value
is already made visible by the multipath presuspend.
The flag can be checked without md->pushback_lock (e.g. the first
part of the dec_pending() or target drivers), because the flag is
checked again with md->pushback_lock held when the bio is really
queued to md->pushback as described above.
So even if the flag is cleared after the lock-less checkings, the bio
isn't left in md->pushback. (It is returned to applications with EIO.)
Other notes in the current patch
--------------------------------
- md->pushback is added to the struct mapped_device instead of using
md->deferred directly.
Because md->io_lock which protects md->deferred is rw_semaphore
and can't be used in interrupt context like dec_pending(), and
md->io_lock protects 'DMF_BLOCK_IO' flag of md->flags too.
- Don't issue lock_fs() in dm_suspend() if the 'DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG'
ioctl option is specified, because I/Os for lock_fs() are pushed
back and never return if no valid devices.
(See dm_suspend())
- If a error occurs in dm_suspend() after 'DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING'
flag is set, md->pushback must be flushed because I/Os may be
queued to the list already.
(See around 'flush_and_out:' label in dm_suspend())

Test results
=-=-=-=-=-=-=
I have tested by using multipath target with patch 7 (will be posted).
Following tests are for regression/compatibility.
- I/Os succeed when valid paths are existing.
- I/Os fail when no valid paths and no queue_if_no_path setting.
- I/Os are queued in the multipath target when no valid paths and
queue_if_no_path is set.
- The queued I/Os above fail when suspend is issued WITHOUT
'DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG' ioctl option.
I/Os spanning 2 multipath targets are as well.
Following tests are for normal code path of new pushback feature.
- Queued I/Os in the multipath target are flushed from the target
but don't return when suspend is issued WITH 'DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG'
ioctl option.
- The I/Os above are queued in the multipath target again when
resume is issued WITHOUT path recovery.
The I/Os above succeed when resume is issued after path recovery
or table load.
- Queued I/Os in the multipath target succeed when resume is issued
WITH 'DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG' ioctl option after table load.
I/Os spanning 2 multipath targets are as well.
Following tests are for error code path of the new pushback feature.
- When the bdget_disk() fails in dm_suspned(), 'DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING'
flag is cleared and already queued I/Os to the pushback list are
flushed properly.
- When suspend with 'DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG' ioctl option is interrupted,
o I/Os which had already been queued to the pushback list
at the time don't return, and are re-issued at resume time.
o I/Os which hadn't been returned at the time return with EIO.
