/*
 * dm-user uses four structures:
 *
 *  - "struct target", the outermost structure, corresponds to a single device
 *    mapper target.  This contains the set of outstanding BIOs that have been
 *    provided by DM and are not actively being processed by the user, along
 *    with a misc device that userspace can open to communicate with the
 *    kernel.  Each time userspaces opens the misc device a new channel is
 *    created.
 *  - "struct channel", which represents a single active communication channel
 *    with userspace.  Userspace may choose arbitrary read/write sizes to use
 *    when processing messages, channels form these into logical accesses.
 *    When userspace responds to a full message the channel completes the BIO
 *    and obtains a new message to process from the target.
 *  - "struct message", which wraps a BIO with the additional information
 *    required by the kernel to sort out what to do with BIOs when they return
 *    from userspace.
 *  - "struct dm_user_message", which is the exact message format that
 *    userspace sees.
 *
 * The hot path contains three distinct operations:
 *
 *  - user_map(), which is provided a BIO from device mapper that is queued
 *    into the target.  This allocates and enqueues a new message.
 *  - dev_read(), which dequeues a message, copies it to userspace.
 *  - dev_write(), which looks up a message (keyed by sequence number) and
 *    completes the corresponding BIO.
 *
 * Lock ordering (outer to inner)
 *
 * 1) miscdevice's global lock.  This is held around dev_open, so it has to be
 *    the outermost lock.
 * 2) target->lock
 * 3) channel->lock

	 * sure that's actually true -- for example, I could imagine users
	 * expecting that submitted BIOs are unlikely to fail and therefor
	 * relying on submission failure to indicate an unsupported type.
	 *
	 * There's two ways I can think of to fix this:
	 *   - Add DM arguments that are parsed during the constructor that
	 *     allow various dm_target flags to be set that indicate the op
	 *     types supported by this target.  This may make sense for things
	 *     like discard, where DM can already transform the BIOs to a form
	 *     that's likely to be supported.
	 *   - Some sort of pre-filter that allows userspace to hook in here
	 *     and kill BIOs before marking them as submitted.  My guess would
	 *     be that a userspace round trip is a bad idea here, but a BPF
	 *     call seems resonable.
	 *
	 * My guess is that we'd likely want to do both.  The first one is easy
	 * and gives DM the proper info, so it seems better.  The BPF call
	 * seems overly complex for just this, but one could imagine wanting to
	 * sometimes return _MAPPED and a BPF filter would be the way to do
	 * that.
	 *
	 * For example, in Android we have an in-kernel DM device called
	 * "dm-bow" that takes advange of some portion of the space that has
	 * been discarded on a device to provide opportunistic block-level
	 * backups.  While one could imagine just implementing this entirely in
	 * userspace, that would come with an appreciable performance penalty.
	 * Instead one could keep a BPF program that forwards most accesses
	 * directly to the backing block device while informing a userspace
	 * daemon of any discarded space and on writes to blocks that are to be
	 * backed up.
