[dm-devel] [PATCH/rfc] dm: revise 'rescue' strategy for md->bs allocations

The md->bs bioset currently needs the BIOSET_NEED_RESCUER flag
which I hope to deprecate. It is currently needed because
__split_and_process_bio() can potentially allocate from the
bioset multiple times within the one make_request_fn context.
Subsequent allocations can deadlock waiting for the bio returned
by the first allocation to complete - but it is stuck on the
current->bio_list list.
The bioset is also used in setup_clone() in dm-rq.c, but there a
non-blocking (GFP_ATOMIC) allocation is used, so there is no risk of
deadlock.
dm also provide rescuing for ->map() calls. If a map call ever blocks,
any bios already submitted with generic_make_request() will be passed to
the bioset rescuer thread.
This patch unifies these two separate needs for rescuing bios into a
single mechanism, and use the md->wq work queue to do the rescuing.
A blk_plug_cb is added to 'struct clone_info' so that it is available
throughout the __split_and_process_bio() process.
Prior to allocating from the bioset, or calling ->map(),
dm_offload_check() is called to ensure that the blk_plug_cb is active.
If either of these operation schedules, the callback is called,
and any queued bios get passed to the wq.
Note that only current->bio_list[0] is offloaded. current->bio_list[1]
contains bios that were scheduled *before* the current one started, so
they must have been submitted from higher up the stack, and we cannot be
waiting for them here. Also, we now rescue *all* bios on the list as
there is nothing to be gained by being more selective.
This allows us to remove BIOSET_NEED_RESCUER when allocating this
bioset.
It also keeps all the mechanics of rescuing inside dm, so dm can
be in full control.

Hi,
I have only tested this lightly as I don't have any test infrastructure
for dm and don't know how to reproduce the expected deadlocks.
I'm keen to know your thoughts on this approach if you find a few spare
moment to have a look.
Thanks,
NeilBrown
