dm_clone_nr_of_hydrated_regions() returns the number of regions that
have been hydrated so far. In order to do so it employs bitmap_weight().
Until now, the return type of dm_clone_nr_of_hydrated_regions() was
unsigned long.
Because bitmap_weight() returns an int, in case BITS_PER_LONG == 64 and
the return value of bitmap_weight() is 2^31 (the maximum allowed number
of regions for a device), the result is sign extended from 32 bits to 64
bits and an incorrect value is displayed, in the status output of
dm-clone, as the number of hydrated regions.
Fix this by having dm_clone_nr_of_hydrated_regions() return an unsigned
int.

There is a bug in the way dm-clone handles discards, which can lead to
discarding the wrong blocks or trying to discard blocks beyond the end
of the device.
This could lead to data corruption, if the destination device indeed
discards the underlying blocks, i.e., if the discard operation results
in the original contents of a block to be lost.
The root of the problem is the code that calculates the range of regions
covered by a discard request and decides which regions to discard.
Since dm-clone handles the device in units of regions, we don't discard
parts of a region, only whole regions.
The range is calculated as:
rs = dm_sector_div_up(bio->bi_iter.bi_sector, clone->region_size);
re = bio_end_sector(bio) >> clone->region_shift;
, where 'rs' is the first region to discard and (re - rs) is the number
of regions to discard.
The bug manifests when we try to discard part of a single region, i.e.,
when we try to discard a block with size < region_size, and the discard
request both starts at an offset with respect to the beginning of that
region and ends before the end of the region.
The root cause is the following comparison:
if (rs == re)
// skip discard and complete original bio immediately
, which doesn't take into account that 'rs' might be greater than 're'.
Thus, we then issue a discard request for the wrong blocks, instead of
skipping the discard all together.
Fix the check to also take into account the above case, so we don't end
up discarding the wrong blocks.
Also, add some range checks to dm_clone_set_region_hydrated() and
dm_clone_cond_set_range(), which update dm-clone's region bitmap.
Note that the aforementioned bug doesn't cause invalid memory accesses,
because dm_clone_is_range_hydrated() returns True for this case, so the
checks are just precautionary.

Split the metadata commit in two parts:
1. dm_clone_metadata_pre_commit(): Prepare the current transaction for
committing. After this is called, all subsequent metadata updates,
done through either dm_clone_set_region_hydrated() or
dm_clone_cond_set_range(), will be part of the next transaction.
2. dm_clone_metadata_commit(): Actually commit the current transaction
to disk and start a new transaction.
This is required by the following commit. It allows dm-clone to flush
the destination device after step (1) to ensure that all freshly
hydrated regions, for which we are updating the metadata, are properly
written to non-volatile storage and won't be lost in case of a crash.

Extend struct dirty_map with a second bitmap which tracks the exact
regions that were hydrated during the current metadata transaction.
Moreover, fix __flush_dmap() to only commit the metadata of the regions
that were hydrated during the current transaction.
This is required by the following commits to fix a data corruption bug.

If we are in a place where it is known that interrupts are enabled,
functions spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq should be used instead of
spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore.
spin_lock_irq and spin_unlock_irq are faster because they don't need to
push and pop the flags register.

Add the dm-clone target, which allows cloning of arbitrary block
devices.
dm-clone produces a one-to-one copy of an existing, read-only source
device into a writable destination device: It presents a virtual block
device which makes all data appear immediately, and redirects reads and
writes accordingly.
The main use case of dm-clone is to clone a potentially remote,
high-latency, read-only, archival-type block device into a writable,
fast, primary-type device for fast, low-latency I/O. The cloned device
is visible/mountable immediately and the copy of the source device to
the destination device happens in the background, in parallel with user
I/O.
When the cloning completes, the dm-clone table can be removed altogether
and be replaced, e.g., by a linear table, mapping directly to the
destination device.
For further information and examples of how to use dm-clone, please read
