[Devel] [PATCH hci-8.1 v9 06/10] dm-qcow2: keep the dirty bit of an image that needs check

[Alexander Ivanov <alexander.ivanov@virtuozzo.com>]

The dm-qcow2 module parameter kernel_sets_dirty_bit makes the kernel set
the dirty bit on resume and clear it on postsuspend. It is off by
default and Virtuozzo does not set it: ploop manages the dirty bit from
userspace itself. So this is a hardening patch for the non-default mode.

With kernel_sets_dirty_bit, postsuspend clears the dirty bit
unconditionally. An image that is dirty at open, e.g. after a crash,
has unrepaired refcounts, which may be below real usage, yet it is
marked clean on disk after the first suspend. A userspace check before
the next open then has no reason to repair it. The same happens after
an error that sets wants_check, e.g. md_writeback_error: it is kept only
in the target, so resume is refused, but after a table reload or a host
restart the image is reopened with a clean header.

Clear the bit only if the image was clean before the kernel set it and
wants_check is not set. The parsed header can't tell the former: it is
reread on every preresume and may carry the kernel's own bit, e.g. on
the lower image of a backward merge cancelled by suspend in
waiting_completion or of a merge with depth > 0. So track two flags per
image: kernel_dirty_bit_set is set only while the last header write was
a successful set and the reread header still has the bit, opened_dirty
is set when the header has the bit and kernel_dirty_bit_set is not set.
Clearing the bit of an image opened dirty is left to userspace check.

After a failed write the bit found on disk is taken as opened dirty,
which costs an extra check, rather than as the kernel's, which could
clear a bit set by userspace while the device was suspended.
