<title>dm era: Update in-core bitset after committing the metadata</title>

commit 2099b145d77c1d53f5711f029c37cc537897cee6 upstream.

In case of a system crash, dm-era might fail to mark blocks as written
in its metadata, although the corresponding writes to these blocks were
passed down to the origin device and completed successfully.

Consider the following sequence of events:

1. We write to a block that has not been yet written in the current era
2. era_map() checks the in-core bitmap for the current era and sees
   that the block is not marked as written.
3. The write is deferred for submission after the metadata have been
   updated and committed.
4. The worker thread processes the deferred write
   (process_deferred_bios()) and marks the block as written in the
   in-core bitmap, **before** committing the metadata.
5. The worker thread starts committing the metadata.
6. We do more writes that map to the same block as the write of step (1)
7. era_map() checks the in-core bitmap and sees that the block is marked
   as written, **although the metadata have not been committed yet**.
8. These writes are passed down to the origin device immediately and the
   device reports them as completed.
9. The system crashes, e.g., power failure, before the commit from step
   (5) finishes.

When the system recovers and we query the dm-era target for the list of
written blocks it doesn't report the aforementioned block as written,
although the writes of step (6) completed successfully.

The issue is that era_map() decides whether to defer or not a write
based on non committed information. The root cause of the bug is that we
update the in-core bitmap, **before** committing the metadata.

Fix this by updating the in-core bitmap **after** successfully
committing the metadata.

commit a97cb0e7b3f4c6297fd857055ae8e895f402f501 upstream.

Both Geert and DaveJ reported that the recent futex commit:

  c1e2f0eaf015 ("futex: Avoid violating the 10th rule of futex")

introduced a problem with setting OWNER_DEAD. We set the bit on an
uninitialized variable and then entirely optimize it away as a
dead-store.

Move the setting of the bit to where it is more useful.

<title>dm era: only resize metadata in preresume</title>

commit cca2c6aebe86f68103a8615074b3578e854b5016 upstream.

Metadata resize shouldn't happen in the ctr. The ctr loads a temporary
(inactive) table that will only become active upon resume. That is why
resize should always be done in terms of resume. Otherwise a load (ctr)
whose inactive table never becomes active will incorrectly resize the
metadata.

Also, perform the resize directly in preresume, instead of using the
worker to do it.

The worker might run other metadata operations, e.g., it could start
digestion, before resizing the metadata. These operations will end up
using the old size.

This could lead to errors, like:

  device-mapper: era: metadata_digest_transcribe_writeset: dm_array_set_value failed
  device-mapper: era: process_old_eras: digest step failed, stopping digestion

The reason of the above error is that the worker started the digestion
of the archived writeset using the old, larger size.

As a result, metadata_digest_transcribe_writeset tried to write beyond
the end of the era array.

<title>dm era: Reinitialize bitset cache before digesting a new writeset</title>

commit 2524933307fd0036d5c32357c693c021ab09a0b0 upstream.

In case of devices with at most 64 blocks, the digestion of consecutive
eras uses the writeset of the first era as the writeset of all eras to
digest, leading to lost writes. That is, we lose the information about
what blocks were written during the affected eras.

The digestion code uses a dm_disk_bitset object to access the archived
writesets. This structure includes a one word (64-bit) cache to reduce
the number of array lookups.

This structure is initialized only once, in metadata_digest_start(),
when we kick off digestion.

But, when we insert a new writeset into the writeset tree, before the
digestion of the previous writeset is done, or equivalently when there
are multiple writesets in the writeset tree to digest, then all these
writesets are digested using the same cache and the cache is not
re-initialized when moving from one writeset to the next.

For devices with more than 64 blocks, i.e., the size of the cache, the
cache is indirectly invalidated when we move to a next set of blocks, so
we avoid the bug.

But for devices with at most 64 blocks we end up using the same cached
data for digesting all archived writesets, i.e., the cache is loaded
when digesting the first writeset and it never gets reloaded, until the
digestion is done.

As a result, the writeset of the first era to digest is used as the
writeset of all the following archived eras, leading to lost writes.

Fix this by reinitializing the dm_disk_bitset structure, and thus
invalidating the cache, every time the digestion code starts digesting a
new writeset.

commit c8e846ff93d5eaa5384f6f325a1687ac5921aade upstream.

dm-era doesn't support changing the data block size of existing devices,
so check explicitly that the requested block size for a new target
matches the one stored in the metadata.

commit de89afc1e40fdfa5f8b666e5d07c43d21a1d3be0 upstream.

Following a system crash, dm-era fails to recover the committed writeset
for the current era, leading to lost writes. That is, we lose the
information about what blocks were written during the affected era.

dm-era assumes that the writeset of the current era is archived when the
device is suspended. So, when resuming the device, it just moves on to
the next era, ignoring the committed writeset.

This assumption holds when the device is properly shut down. But, when
the system crashes, the code that suspends the target never runs, so the
writeset for the current era is not archived.

There are three issues that cause the committed writeset to get lost:

1. dm-era doesn't load the committed writeset when opening the metadata
2. The code that resizes the metadata wipes the information about the
   committed writeset (assuming it was loaded at step 1)
3. era_preresume() starts a new era, without taking into account that
   the current era might not have been archived, due to a system crash.

To fix this:

1. Load the committed writeset when opening the metadata
2. Fix the code that resizes the metadata to make sure it doesn't wipe
   the loaded writeset
3. Fix era_preresume() to check for a loaded writeset and archive it,
   before starting a new era.

<title>gfs2: Don't skip dlm unlock if glock has an lvb</title>

commit 78178ca844f0eb88f21f31c7fde969384be4c901 upstream.

Patch fb6791d100d1 was designed to allow gfs2 to unmount quicker by
skipping the step where it tells dlm to unlock glocks in EX with lvbs.
This was done because when gfs2 unmounts a file system, it destroys the
dlm lockspace shortly after it destroys the glocks so it doesn't need to
unlock them all: the unlock is implied when the lockspace is destroyed
by dlm.

However, that patch introduced a use-after-free in dlm: as part of its
normal dlm_recoverd process, it can call ls_recovery to recover dead
locks. In so doing, it can call recover_rsbs which calls recover_lvb for
any mastered rsbs. Func recover_lvb runs through the list of lkbs queued
to the given rsb (if the glock is cached but unlocked, it will still be
queued to the lkb, but in NL--Unlocked--mode) and if it has an lvb,
copies it to the rsb, thus trying to preserve the lkb. However, when
gfs2 skips the dlm unlock step, it frees the glock and its lvb, which
means dlm's function recover_lvb references the now freed lvb pointer,
copying the freed lvb memory to the rsb.

This patch changes the check in gdlm_put_lock so that it calls
dlm_unlock for all glocks that contain an lvb pointer.
