Fixes: 1. The use of "exceeds" when the opposite of exceeds, falls below, was meant. 2. Properly speaking, a table can not exceed a threshold. It emphasizes the important point, which is that it is the userspace daemon's responsibility to check for low free space when a device is resumed, since it won't get a special event indicating low free space in that situation.

2018-01-17dm: add unstriped targetScott Bauer
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.

2017-12-13dm raid: stop keeping raid set frozen altogetherHeinz Mauelshagen
In order to avoid redoing synchronization/recovery/reshape partially, the raid set got frozen until after all passed in table line flags had been cleared. The related table reload sequence had to be precisely followed, or reshaping may lead to data corruption caused by the active mapping carrying on with a reshape when the inactive mapping already had retrieved a stale reshape position. Harden by retrieving the actual resync/recovery/reshape position during resume whilst the active table is suspended thus avoiding to keep the raid set frozen altogether. This prevents superfluous redoing of an already resynchronized or recovered segment and, most importantly, potential for redoing of an already reshaped segment causing data corruption.

2017-10-05dm raid: fix incorrect status output at the end of a "recover" processJonathan Brassow
There are three important fields that indicate the overall health and status of an array: dev_health, sync_ratio, and sync_action. They tell us the condition of the devices in the array, and the degree to which the array is synchronized. This commit fixes a condition that is reported incorrectly. When a member of the array is being rebuilt or a new device is added, the "recover" process is used to synchronize it with the rest of the array. When the process is complete, but the sync thread hasn't yet been reaped, it is possible for the state of MD to be: mddev->recovery = [ MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING MD_RECOVERY_RECOVER MD_RECOVERY_DONE ] curr_resync_completed = <max dev size> (but not MaxSector) and all rdevs to be In_sync. This causes the 'array_in_sync' output parameter that is passed to rs_get_progress() to be computed incorrectly and reported as 'false' -- or not in-sync. This in turn causes the dev_health status characters to be reported as all 'a', rather than the proper 'A'. This can cause erroneous output for several seconds at a time when tools will want to be checking the condition due to events that are raised at the end of a sync process. Fix this by properly calculating the 'array_in_sync' return parameter in rs_get_progress(). Also, remove an unnecessary intermediate 'recovery_cp' variable in rs_get_progress().

2017-06-19dm zoned: drive-managed zoned block device targetDamien Le Moal
The dm-zoned device mapper target provides transparent write access to zoned block devices (ZBC and ZAC compliant block devices). dm-zoned hides to the device user (a file system or an application doing raw block device accesses) any constraint imposed on write requests by the device, equivalent to a drive-managed zoned block device model. Write requests are processed using a combination of on-disk buffering using the device conventional zones and direct in-place processing for requests aligned to a zone sequential write pointer position. A background reclaim process implemented using dm_kcopyd_copy ensures that conventional zones are always available for executing unaligned write requests. The reclaim process overhead is minimized by managing buffer zones in a least-recently-written order and first targeting the oldest buffer zones. Doing so, blocks under regular write access (such as metadata blocks of a file system) remain stored in conventional zones, resulting in no apparent overhead. dm-zoned implementation focus on simplicity and on minimizing overhead (CPU, memory and storage overhead). For a 14TB host-managed disk with 256 MB zones, dm-zoned memory usage per disk instance is at most about 3 MB and as little as 5 zones will be used internally for storing metadata and performing buffer zone reclaim operations. This is achieved using zone level indirection rather than a full block indirection system for managing block movement between zones. dm-zoned primary target is host-managed zoned block devices but it can also be used with host-aware device models to mitigate potential device-side performance degradation due to excessive random writing.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer: - A major update for DM cache that reduces the latency for deciding whether blocks should migrate to/from the cache. The bio-prison-v2 interface supports this improvement by enabling direct dispatch of work to workqueues rather than having to delay the actual work dispatch to the DM cache core. So the dm-cache policies are much more nimble by being able to drive IO as they see fit. One immediate benefit from the improved latency is a cache that should be much more adaptive to changing workloads. - Add a new DM integrity target that emulates a block device that has additional per-sector tags that can be used for storing integrity information. - Add a new authenticated encryption feature to the DM crypt target that builds on the capabilities provided by the DM integrity target. - Add MD interface for switching the raid4/5/6 journal mode and update the DM raid target to use it to enable aid4/5/6 journal write-back support. - Switch the DM verity target over to using the asynchronous hash crypto API (this helps work better with architectures that have access to off-CPU algorithm providers, which should reduce CPU utilization). - Various request-based DM and DM multipath fixes and improvements from Bart and Christoph. - A DM thinp target fix for a bio structure leak that occurs for each discard IFF discard passdown is enabled. - A fix for a possible deadlock in DM bufio and a fix to re-check the new buffer allocation watermark in the face of competing admin changes to the 'max_cache_size_bytes' tunable. - A couple DM core cleanups. * tag 'for-4.12/dm-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: (50 commits) dm bufio: check new buffer allocation watermark every 30 seconds dm bufio: avoid a possible ABBA deadlock dm mpath: make it easier to detect unintended I/O request flushes dm mpath: cleanup QUEUE_IF_NO_PATH bit manipulation by introducing assign_bit() dm mpath: micro-optimize the hot path relative to MPATHF_QUEUE_IF_NO_PATH dm: introduce enum dm_queue_mode to cleanup related code dm mpath: verify __pg_init_all_paths locking assumptions at runtime dm: verify suspend_locking assumptions at runtime dm block manager: remove an unused argument from dm_block_manager_create() dm rq: check blk_mq_register_dev() return value in dm_mq_init_request_queue() dm mpath: delay requeuing while path initialization is in progress dm mpath: avoid that path removal can trigger an infinite loop dm mpath: split and rename activate_path() to prepare for its expanded use dm ioctl: prevent stack leak in dm ioctl call dm integrity: use previously calculated log2 of sectors_per_block dm integrity: use hex2bin instead of open-coded variant dm crypt: replace custom implementation of hex2bin() dm crypt: remove obsolete references to per-CPU state dm verity: switch to using asynchronous hash crypto API dm crypt: use WQ_HIGHPRI for the IO and crypt workqueues ...
2017-04-24dm integrity: support larger block sizesMikulas Patocka
The DM integrity block size can now be 512, 1k, 2k or 4k. Using larger blocks reduces metadata handling overhead. The block size can be configured at table load time using the "block_size:<value>" option; where <value> is expressed in bytes (defult is still 512 bytes). It is safe to use larger block sizes with DM integrity, because the DM integrity journal makes sure that the whole block is updated atomically even if the underlying device doesn't support atomic writes of that size (e.g. 4k block ontop of a 512b device).

2017-03-27dm raid: add raid4/5/6 journal write-back support via journal_mode optionHeinz Mauelshagen
Commit 63c32ed4afc ("dm raid: add raid4/5/6 journaling support") added journal support to close the raid4/5/6 "write hole" -- in terms of writethrough caching. Introduce a "journal_mode" feature and use the new r5c_journal_mode_set() API to add support for switching the journal device's cache mode between write-through (the current default) and write-back. NOTE: If the journal device is not layered on resilent storage and it fails, write-through mode will cause the "write hole" to reoccur. But if the journal fails while in write-back mode it will cause data loss for any dirty cache entries unless resilent storage is used for the journal.

2017-03-24dm crypt: optionally support larger encryption sector sizeMilan Broz
Add optional "sector_size" parameter that specifies encryption sector size (atomic unit of block device encryption). Parameter can be in range 512 - 4096 bytes and must be power of two. For compatibility reasons, the maximal IO must fit into the page limit, so the limit is set to the minimal page size possible (4096 bytes). NOTE: this device cannot yet be handled by cryptsetup if this parameter is set. IV for the sector is calculated from the 512 bytes sector offset unless the iv_large_sectors option is used.

2017-03-24dm crypt: introduce new format of cipher with "capi:" prefixMilan Broz
For the new authenticated encryption we have to support generic composed modes (combination of encryption algorithm and authenticator) because this is how the kernel crypto API accesses such algorithms. To simplify the interface, we accept an algorithm directly in crypto API format. The new format is recognised by the "capi:" prefix. The dmcrypt internal IV specification is the same as for the old format. The crypto API cipher specifications format is: capi:cipher_api_spec-ivmode[:ivopts] Examples: capi:cbc(aes)-essiv:sha256 (equivalent to old aes-cbc-essiv:sha256) capi:xts(aes)-plain64 (equivalent to old aes-xts-plain64) Examples of authenticated modes: capi:gcm(aes)-random capi:authenc(hmac(sha256),xts(aes))-random capi:rfc7539(chacha20,poly1305)-random Authenticated modes can only be configured using the new cipher format. Note that this format allows user to specify arbitrary combinations that can be insecure. (Policy decision is done in cryptsetup userspace.) Authenticated encryption algorithms can be of two types, either native modes (like GCM) that performs both encryption and authentication internally, or composed modes where user can compose AEAD with separate specification of encryption algorithm and authenticator. For composed mode with HMAC (length-preserving encryption mode like an XTS and HMAC as an authenticator) we have to calculate HMAC digest size (the separate authentication key is the same size as the HMAC digest). Introduce crypt_ctr_auth_cipher() to parse the crypto API string to get HMAC algorithm and retrieve digest size from it. Also, for HMAC composed mode we need to parse the crypto API string to get the cipher mode nested in the specification. For native AEAD mode (like GCM), we can use crypto_tfm_alg_name() API to get the cipher specification. Because the HMAC composed mode is not processed the same as the native AEAD mode, the CRYPT_MODE_INTEGRITY_HMAC flag is no longer needed and "hmac" specification for the table integrity argument is removed.

The underlying device must support the "DM-DIF-EXT-TAG" dm-integrity profile. The per-bio integrity metadata is allocated by dm-crypt for every bio.

HMAC protection is implemented through autenc wrapper (so it is processed the same way as an authenticated mode). In HMAC mode there are two keys (concatenated in dm-crypt mapping table). First is the encryption key and the second is the key for authentication (HMAC). (It is userspace decision if these keys are independent or somehow derived.) The sector request for AEAD/HMAC authenticated encryption looks like this: |----- AAD -------|------ DATA -------|-- AUTH TAG --| | (authenticated) | (auth+encryption) | | | sector_LE | IV | sector in/out | tag in/out | For writes, the integrity fields are calculated during AEAD encryption of every sector and stored in bio integrity fields and sent to underlying dm-integrity target for storage. For reads, the integrity metadata is verified during AEAD decryption of every sector (they are filled in by dm-integrity, but the integrity fields are pre-allocated in dm-crypt). There is also an experimental support in cryptsetup utility for more friendly configuration (part of LUKS2 format). Because the integrity fields are not valid on initial creation, the device must be "formatted". This can be done by direct-io writes to the device (e.g. dd in direct-io mode).

2017-03-24dm: add integrity targetMikulas Patocka
The dm-integrity target emulates a block device that has additional per-sector tags that can be used for storing integrity information. A general problem with storing integrity tags with every sector is that writing the sector and the integrity tag must be atomic - i.e. in case of crash, either both sector and integrity tag or none of them is written. To guarantee write atomicity the dm-integrity target uses a journal. It writes sector data and integrity tags into a journal, commits the journal and then copies the data and integrity tags to their respective location. The dm-integrity target can be used with the dm-crypt target - in this situation the dm-crypt target creates the integrity data and passes them to the dm-integrity target via bio_integrity_payload attached to the bio. In this mode, the dm-crypt and dm-integrity targets provide authenticated disk encryption - if the attacker modifies the encrypted device, an I/O error is returned instead of random data. The dm-integrity target can also be used as a standalone target, in this mode it calculates and verifies the integrity tag internally. In this mode, the dm-integrity target can be used to detect silent data corruption on the disk or in the I/O path.

2017-01-25dm raid: add raid4/5/6 journaling supportHeinz Mauelshagen
Add md raid4/5/6 journaling support (upstream commit bac624f3f86a started the implementation) which closes the write hole (i.e. non-atomic updates to stripes) using a dedicated journal device. Background: raid4/5/6 stripes hold N data payloads per stripe plus one parity raid4/5 or two raid6 P/Q syndrome payloads in an in-memory stripe cache. Parity or P/Q syndromes used to recover any data payloads in case of a disk failure are calculated from the N data payloads and need to be updated on the different component devices of the raid device. Those are non-atomic, persistent updates. Hence a crash can cause failure to update all stripe payloads persistently and thus cause data loss during stripe recovery. This problem gets addressed by writing whole stripe cache entries (together with journal metadata) to a persistent journal entry on a dedicated journal device. Only if that journal entry is written successfully, the stripe cache entry is updated on the component devices of the raid device (i.e. writethrough type). In case of a crash, the entry can be recovered from the journal and be written again thus ensuring consistent stripe payload suitable to data recovery. Future dependencies: once writeback caching being worked on to compensate for the throughput implictions involved with writethrough overhead is supported with journaling in upstream, an additional patch based on this one will support it in dm-raid. Journal resilience related remarks: because stripes are recovered from the journal in case of a crash, the journal device better be resilient. Resilience becomes mandatory with future writeback support, because loosing the working set in the log means data loss as oposed to writethrough, were the loss of the journal device 'only' reintroduces the write hole.

2017-01-25dm raid: fix transient device failure processingHeinz Mauelshagen
This fix addresses the following 3 failure scenarios: 1) If a (transiently) inaccessible metadata device is being passed into the constructor (e.g. a device tuple '254:4 254:5'), it is processed as if '- -' was given. This erroneously results in a status table line containing '- -', which mistakenly differs from what has been passed in. As a result, userspace libdevmapper puts the device tuple seperate from the RAID device thus not processing the dependencies properly. 2) False health status char 'A' instead of 'D' is emitted on the status status info line for the meta/data device tuple in this metadata device failure case. 3) If the metadata device is accessible when passed into the constructor but the data device (partially) isn't, that leg may be set faulty by the raid personality on access to the (partially) unavailable leg. Restore tried in a second raid device resume on such failed leg (status char 'D') fails after the (partial) leg returned. Fixes for aforementioned failure scenarios: - don't release passed in devices in the constructor thus allowing the status table line to e.g. contain '254:4 254:5' rather than '- -' - emit device status char 'D' rather than 'A' for the device tuple with the failed metadata device on the status info line - when attempting to restore faulty devices in a second resume, allow the device hot remove function to succeed by setting the device to not in-sync In case userspace intentionally passes '- -' into the constructor to avoid that device tuple (e.g. to split off a raid1 leg temporarily for later re-addition), the status table line will correctly show '- -' and the status info line will provide a '-' device health character for the non-defined device tuple.

Hence, occurrences of `--getsize' should be replaced with `--getsz', which this commit has achieved as follows: $ cd "$repo" $ git grep -l -e --getsz Documentation/device-mapper/delay.txt Documentation/device-mapper/dm-crypt.txt Documentation/device-mapper/linear.txt Documentation/device-mapper/log-writes.txt Documentation/device-mapper/striped.txt Documentation/device-mapper/switch.txt $ cd Documentation/device-mapper $ sed -i s/getsize/getsz/g * Signed-off-by: Michael Witten <mfwitten@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>

2016-12-08dm crypt: add ability to use keys from the kernel key retention serviceOndrej Kozina
The kernel key service is a generic way to store keys for the use of other subsystems. Currently there is no way to use kernel keys in dm-crypt. This patch aims to fix that. Instead of key userspace may pass a key description with preceding ':'. So message that constructs encryption mapping now looks like this: <cipher> [<key>|:<key_string>] <iv_offset> <dev_path> <start> [<#opt_params> <opt_params>] where <key_string> is in format: <key_size>:<key_type>:<key_description> Currently we only support two elementary key types: 'user' and 'logon'. Keys may be loaded in dm-crypt either via <key_string> or using classical method and pass the key in hex representation directly. dm-crypt device initialised with a key passed in hex representation may be replaced with key passed in key_string format and vice versa.

2016-10-17dm raid: fix activation of existing raid4/10 devicesHeinz Mauelshagen
dm-raid 1.9.0 fails to activate existing RAID4/10 devices that have the old superblock format (which does not have takeover/reshaping support that was added via commit 33e53f06850f). Fix validation path for old superblocks by reverting to the old raid4 layout and basing checks on mddev->new_{level,layout,...} members in super_init_validation().

2016-08-07block: rename bio bi_rw to bi_opfJens Axboe
Since commit 63a4cc24867d, bio->bi_rw contains flags in the lower portion and the op code in the higher portions. This means that old code that relies on manually setting bi_rw is most likely going to be broken. Instead of letting that brokeness linger, rename the member, to force old and out-of-tree code to break at compile time instead of at runtime. No intended functional changes in this commit.

2015-12-10dm verity: add support for forward error correctionSami Tolvanen
Add support for correcting corrupted blocks using Reed-Solomon. This code uses RS(255, N) interleaved across data and hash blocks. Each error-correcting block covers N bytes evenly distributed across the combined total data, so that each byte is a maximum distance away from the others. This makes it possible to recover from several consecutive corrupted blocks with relatively small space overhead. In addition, using verity hashes to locate erasures nearly doubles the effectiveness of error correction. Being able to detect corrupted blocks also improves performance, because only corrupted blocks need to corrected. For a 2 GiB partition, RS(255, 253) (two parity bytes for each 253-byte block) can correct up to 16 MiB of consecutive corrupted blocks if erasures can be located, and 8 MiB if they cannot, with 16 MiB space overhead.
