Add support to dm devices for REQ_OP_PROVISION. The default mode
is to passthrough the request to the underlying device, if it
supports it. dm-thinpool uses the provision request to provision
blocks for a dm-thin device. dm-thinpool currently does not
pass through REQ_OP_PROVISION to underlying devices.

For shared blocks, provision requests will break sharing and copy the
contents of the entire block.

I happened to be looking at implementing WRITE_ZEROES support for DM
thinp yesterday and reached the same conclussion relative to it (both
of Joe's points above, for me "ii)" was: the dm-bio-prison-v1 range
locking we do for discards needs work for other types of IO).

We can work to make REQ_OP_PROVISION spanning multiple thinp blocks
possible as follow-on optimization; but in the near-term DM thinp
needs REQ_OP_PROVISION to be split on a thinp block boundary.

This splitting can be assisted by block core in terms of a new
'provision_granularity' (which for thinp, it'd be set to the thinp
blocksize).  But I don't know that we need to go that far (I'm
thinking its fine to have DM do the splitting it needs and only
elevate related code to block core if/when needed in the future).

DM core can take on conditionally imposing its max_io_len() to handle
splitting REQ_OP_PROVISION as needed on a per-target basis. This DM
core commit I've staged for 6.4 makes this quite a simple change:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm.git/commit/?h=dm-6.4&id=13f6facf3faeed34ca381aef4c9b153c7aed3972

So please rebase on linux-dm.git's dm-6.4 branch, and for
REQ_OP_PROVISION dm.c:__process_abnormal_io() you'd add this:

	case REQ_OP_PROVISION:
                num_bios = ti->num_provision_bios;
                if (ti->max_provision_granularity)
                        max_granularity = limits->max_provision_sectors;
                break;

I'll reply again later today (to patch 2's actual code changes),
because I caught at least one other thing worth mentioning.

Thanks,
Mike

Have you tested REQ_OP_PROVISION with these targets?  Just want to
make sure you have an explicit need (and vested interest) for them
passing through REQ_OP_PROVISION.

This doesn't seem correct in that it'll override whatever
max_provision_sectors was set by a target (like thinp).

I think you only need the if (!dm_table_supports_provision)) case:

I think it'll make the most sense to split out the dm-thin.c changes
in a separate patch.

Not confident in the above changes given the request that we only
handle REQ_OP_PROVISION one thinp block at a time.  So I'll gloss over
them for now.

Like Joe mentioned, this pattern was fine for discards because they
are advisory/optional.  But we need to make sure we don't truncate
REQ_OP_PROVISION -- so we need to round up if we partially bleed into
the blocks to the left or right.

BUT ranged REQ_OP_PROVISION support is for later, this can be dealt
with more simply in that each REQ_OP_PROVISION will be handled a block
at a time initially.  SO you'll want to honor _all_ REQ_OP_PROVISION,
never returning early.

This should be pool->process_provision() (or ->process_provision_bio
if you like).  Point is, you need to be switching these methods
if/when the pool_mode transitions in set_pool_mode().

Building on my previous reply, with suggested update to
dm.c:__process_abnormal_io(), once you rebase on dm-6.4's dm-thin.c
you'll want to instead:

limits->max_provision_sectors = pool->sectors_per_block << SECTOR_SHIFT;

And you'll want to drop any of the above code that deals with handling
bio-prison range locking and processing of REQ_OP_PROVISION for
multiple thinp blocks at once.

Simple REQ_OP_PROVISION processing one thinp block at a time first and
then we can worry about handling REQ_OP_PROVISION that span blocks
later.

You'll need to add max_provision_granularity bool too (as implied by
the dm.c:__process_abnormal_io() change suggested in my first reply to
this patch).

I'm happy to wait for you to consume the v3 feedback we've provided so
you can create a v4.  I'm thinking I can base dm-thin.c's WRITE_ZEROES
support ontop of your REQ_OP_PROVISION v4 changes -- they should be
complementary.

Thanks,
Mike

Yes. I have a vested interest in dm-linear and dm-crypt; I kept
dm-snap support mostly for consistency with thin snapshots.

Yeah, the majority of this got removed in v4. I added a check in
io_overwrites_block() to return false for all provision requests.

Thanks. The next patch in the series has the simplified version. It
had a lot in common with process_bio() so there was a possibility for
merging the two code paths, but I opted to keep it like this to make
ranged handling and passdown support easier to implement.
