[ Upstream commit b13ef361d4 ]
The -EEXIST error code is reserved by the module loading infrastructure
to indicate that a module is already loaded. When a module's init
function returns -EEXIST, userspace tools like kmod interpret this as
"module already loaded" and treat the operation as successful, returning
0 to the user even though the module initialization actually failed.
This follows the precedent set by commit 54416fd767 ("netfilter:
conntrack: helper: Replace -EEXIST by -EBUSY") which fixed the same
issue in nf_conntrack_helper_register().
Affected modules:
* dm_cache dm_clone dm_integrity dm_mirror dm_multipath dm_pcache
* dm_vdo dm-ps-round-robin dm_historical_service_time dm_io_affinity
* dm_queue_length dm_service_time dm_snapshot

A pending cleanup will mean that module.h won't be implicitly
everywhere anymore. Make sure the modular drivers in md dir
are actually calling out for <module.h> explicitly in advance.

Change #include "dm.h" to #include <linux/device-mapper.h> in all targets.
Targets should not need direct access to internal DM structures.

This patch makes some needlessly global code static.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
