Move the last used path to the end of the list (least preferred) so that
ties are more evenly distributed.
For example, in case with three paths with one that is slower than
others, the remaining two would be unevenly used if they tie. This is
due to the rotation not being a truely fair distribution.
Illustrated: paths a, b, c, 'c' has 1 outstanding IO, a and b are 'tied'
Three possible rotations:
(a, b, c) -> best path 'a'
(b, c, a) -> best path 'b'
(c, a, b) -> best path 'a'
(a, b, c) -> best path 'a'
(b, c, a) -> best path 'b'
(c, a, b) -> best path 'a'
...
So 'a' is used 2x more than 'b', although they should be used evenly.
With this change, the most recently used path is always the least
preferred, removing this bias resulting in even distribution.
(a, b, c) -> best path 'a'
(b, c, a) -> best path 'b'
(c, a, b) -> best path 'a'
(c, b, a) -> best path 'b'
...

Since the unstripe target takes a target length which is the
size of *one* striped member we're trying to expose, not the
total size of *all* the striped members, the check does not
make sense and fails for some striped setups.
For example, say we have a 4TB striped device:
or 3907018496 sectors per underlying device:
if (sector_div(width, uc->stripes)) :
3907018496 / 2(num stripes) == 1953509248
tmp_len = width;
if (sector_div(tmp_len, uc->chunk_size)) :
1953509248 / 256(chunk size) == 7630895.5
(fails)
Fix this by removing the first check which isn't valid for unstriping.

The 'verify_rq_based:' code in dm_table_determine_type() was checking
all devices in the DM table rather than only checking the data devices.
Fix this by using the immutable target's iterate_devices method.
Also, tweak the block of dm_table_determine_type() code that decides
whether to upgrade from DM_TYPE_BIO_BASED to DM_TYPE_NVME_BIO_BASED so
that it makes sure the immutable_target doesn't support require
splitting IOs.
These changes have been verified to allow a "thin-pool" target whose
data device is an NVMe device to be upgraded to DM_TYPE_NVME_BIO_BASED.
Using the thin-pool in NVMe bio-based mode was verified to pass all the
device-mapper-test-suite's "thin-provisioning" tests.
Also verified that request-based DM multipath (with queue_mode "rq" and
"mq") works as expected using the 'mptest' harness.

Add DM_ENDIO_DELAY_REQUEUE to allow request-based multipath's
multipath_end_io() to instruct dm-rq.c:dm_done() to delay a requeue.
This is beneficial to do if BLK_STS_RESOURCE is returned from the target
(because target is busy).
Relative to blk-mq: kick the hw queues via blk_mq_requeue_work(),
indirectly from dm-rq.c:__dm_mq_kick_requeue_list(), after a delay.
For old .request_fn: use blk_delay_queue().
bio-based multipath doesn't have feature parity with request-based for
retryable error requeues; that is something that'll need fixing in the
future.

Avoid using DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE unless absolutely necessary because it
results in dm-rq.c:dm_mq_queue_rq() returning BLK_STS_RESOURCE to
blk-mq -- doing so should only ever be done if the underlying queue is
out of resources. So switch to returning DM_MAPIO_DELAY_REQUEUE from
multipath_clone_and_map() if either MPATHF_QUEUE_IO or
MPATHF_PG_INIT_REQUIRED are set.

blk-mq will rerun queue via RESTART or dispatch wake after one request
is completed, so not necessary to wait random time for requeuing, we
should trust blk-mq to do it.
More importantly, we need to return BLK_STS_RESOURCE to blk-mq so that
dequeuing from the I/O scheduler can be stopped, this results in
improved I/O merging.

was meant.
2. Properly speaking, a table can not exceed a threshold.
It emphasizes the important point, which is that it is the userspace

This device mapper "unstriped" target remaps and unstripes I/O so it
is issued solely on a single drive in a HW RAID0 or dm-striped target.
In a 4 drive HW RAID0 the striped target exposes 1/4th of the LBA range
as a virtual drive. Each I/O to that virtual drive will only be issued
to the 1 drive that was selected of the 4 drives in the HW RAID0.
This unstriped target is most useful for Intel NVMe drives that have
multiple cores but that do not have firmware control to pin separate LBA
ranges to each discrete cpu core.

This DM multipath NVMe bio-based support requires CONFIG_NVME_MULTIPATH
to not be set. In the future hopefully NVMe multipath and DM multipath
can co-exist more seemlessly. But as is, if CONFIG_NVME_MULTIPATH=Y
then all the individal NVMe paths will remain hidden to upper layers and
as such DM multipath will not be able to manage them.
Though NVMe's native multipathing doesn't multipath namespaces across
subsystems; so technically a user _could_ use CONFIG_NVME_MULTIPATH=Y
and also use DM multipath to multipath across subsystems.

Upper level bio-based drivers that stack immediately ontop of NVMe can
leverage direct_make_request(). In addition DM's NVMe bio-based
will initially only ever have one NVMe device that it submits IO to at a
time. There is no splitting needed. Enhance DM core so that
DM_TYPE_NVME_BIO_BASED's IO submission takes advantage of both of these
characteristics.

If dm_table_determine_type() establishes DM_TYPE_NVME_BIO_BASED then
all devices in the DM table do not support partial completions. Also,
the table has a single immutable target that doesn't require DM core to

No apparent need to generic_start_io_acct() until before the IO is ready
for submission. start_io_acct() is the proper place to do this
accounting -- it is also where DM accounts for pending IO and, if
enabled, starts dm-stats accounting.
Replace start_io_acct()'s part_round_stats() with generic_start_io_acct().
This eliminates needing to take part_stat_lock() multiple times when
starting an IO on bio-based devices.

Eliminates need for a separate mempool to allocate 'struct dm_io'
objects from. As such, it saves an extra mempool allocation for each
original bio that DM core is issued.
This complicates the per-bio-data accessor functions by needing to
conditonally add extra padding to get to a target's per-bio-data. But
in the end this provides a decent performance improvement for all
bio-based DM devices.
On an NVMe-loop based testbed to a ramdisk (~3100 MB/s): bio-based
DM linear performance improved by 2% (went from 2665 to 2777 MB/s).

DM targets can request multiple bios be sent to them by DM core (see:
num_{flush,discard,write_same,write_zeroes}_bios). But until now these
bios were allocated in an unsafe manner than could potentially exhaust
the DM device's bioset -- in the face of multiple threads each trying to
do multiple allocations from the same DM device's bioset.
Fix __send_duplicate_bios() by using the new alloc_multiple_bios(). The
allocation strategy used by alloc_multiple_bios() models that used by
dm-crypt.c:crypt_alloc_buffer().
Neil Brown initially proposed this fix but the implementation has been
revised enough that it inappropriate to attribute the entirety of it to

brief use in 2013.
Having the possibility of num_write_bios > 1 complicates bio
allocation. So remove the interface and assume there is only one bio

If a target ever needs more, it must provide a suitable bioset and

A dm device can, in general, represent a tree of targets, each of which
handles a sub-range of the range of blocks handled by the parent.
The bio sequencing managed by generic_make_request() requires that bios
are generated and handled in a depth-first manner. Each call to a
make_request_fn() may submit bios to a single member device, and may
submit bios for a reduced region of the same device as the
make_request_fn.
In particular, any bios submitted to member devices must be expected to
be processed in order, so a later one must never wait for an earlier
one.
This ordering is usually achieved by using bio_split() to reduce a bio
to a size that can be completely handled by one target, and resubmitting
the remainder to the originating device. bio_queue_split() shows the
canonical approach.
dm doesn't follow this approach, largely because it has needed to split
bios since long before bio_split() was available. It currently can
submit bios to separate targets within the one dm_make_request() call.
Dependencies between these targets, as can happen with dm-snap, can
cause deadlocks if either bios gets stuck behind the other in the queues
managed by generic_make_request(). This requires the 'rescue'
functionality provided by dm_offload_{start,end}.
Some of this requirement can be removed by changing the order of bio
submission to follow the canonical approach. That is, if dm finds that
it needs to split a bio, the remainder should be sent to
generic_make_request() rather than being handled immediately. This
delays the handling until the first part is completely processed, so the
deadlock problems do not occur.
__split_and_process_bio() can be called both from dm_make_request() and
from dm_wq_work(). When called from dm_wq_work() the current approach
is perfectly satisfactory as each bio will be processed immediately.
When called from dm_make_request(), current->bio_list will be non-NULL,
and in this case it is best to create a separate "clone" bio for the
remainder.
When we use bio_clone_bioset() to split off the front part of a bio
and chain the two together and submit the remainder to
generic_make_request(), it is important that the newly allocated
bio is used as the head to be processed immediately, and the original
bio gets "bio_advance()"d and sent to generic_make_request() as the
remainder. Otherwise, if the newly allocated bio is used as the
remainder, and if it then needs to be split again, then the next
bio_clone_bioset() call will be made while holding a reference a bio
(result of the first clone) from the same bioset. This can potentially
exhaust the bioset mempool and result in a memory allocation deadlock.
Note that there is no race caused by reassigning cio.io->bio after already
calling __map_bio(). This bio will only be dereferenced again after
dec_pending() has found io->io_count to be zero, and this cannot happen
before the dec_pending() call at the end of __split_and_process_bio().
To provide the clone bio when splitting, we use q->bio_split. This
was previously being freed by bio-based dm to avoid having excess
rescuer threads. As bio_split bio sets no longer create rescuer
threads, there is little cost and much gain from restoring the
q->bio_split bio set.

The BIOSET_NEED_RESCUER flag is only needed when a make_request_fn might
do two allocations from the one bioset, and the second one could block
until the first bio completes.
dm_io() is called from make_request_fn() context. The closest it comes
to multiple allocations is in chunk_io() in dm-snap-persistent. But
there the code uses a separate thread to avoid problems.
So BIOSET_NEED_RESCUER is not needed.
