commit 042745ee53a0a7c1f5aff191a4a24213c6dcfb52 upstream.

Commit 3a0f9aaee028 ("dm raid: round region_size to power of two")
intended to make sure that the default region size is a power of two.
However, the logic in that commit is incorrect and sets the variable
region_size to 0 or 1, depending on whether min_region_size is a power
of two.

Fix this logic, using roundup_pow_of_two(), so that region_size is
properly rounded up to the next power of two.

Pull device mapper changes from Mike Snitzer:

 - The most significant change this cycle is request-based DM now
   supports stacking ontop of blk-mq devices.  This blk-mq support
   changes the model request-based DM uses for cloning a request to
   relying on calling blk_get_request() directly from the underlying
   blk-mq device.

   An early consumer of this code is Intel's emerging NVMe hardware;
   thanks to Keith Busch for working on, and pushing for, these changes.

 - A few other small fixes and cleanups across other DM targets.

* tag 'dm-3.20-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm:
  dm: inherit QUEUE_FLAG_SG_GAPS flags from underlying queues
  dm snapshot: remove unnecessary NULL checks before vfree() calls
  dm mpath: simplify failure path of dm_multipath_init()
  dm thin metadata: remove unused dm_pool_get_data_block_size()
  dm ioctl: fix stale comment above dm_get_inactive_table()
  dm crypt: update url in CONFIG_DM_CRYPT help text
  dm bufio: fix time comparison to use time_after_eq()
  dm: use time_in_range() and time_after()
  dm raid: fix a couple integer overflows
  dm table: train hybrid target type detection to select blk-mq if appropriate
  dm: allocate requests in target when stacking on blk-mq devices
  dm: prepare for allocating blk-mq clone requests in target
  dm: submit stacked requests in irq enabled context
  dm: split request structure out from dm_rq_target_io structure
  dm: remove exports for request-based interfaces without external callers

My static checker complains that if "num_raid_params" is UINT_MAX then
the "if (num_raid_params + 1 &gt; argc) {" check doesn't work as intended.

The other change is that I moved the "if (argc != (num_raid_devs * 2))"
condition forward a few lines so it was before the call to
context_alloc().  If we had an integer overflow inside that function
then it would lead to an immediate crash.

There is currently no locking around calls to the 'congested'
bdi function.  If called at an awkward time while an array is
being converted from one level (or personality) to another, there
is a tiny chance of running code in an unreferenced module etc.

So add a 'congested' function to the md_personality operations
structure, and call it with appropriate locking from a central
'mddev_congested'.

When the array personality is changing the array will be 'suspended'
so no IO is processed.
If mddev_congested detects this, it simply reports that the
array is congested, which is a safe guess.
As mddev_suspend calls synchronize_rcu(), mddev_congested can
avoid races by included the whole call inside an rcu_read_lock()
region.
This require that the congested functions for all subordinate devices
can be run under rcu_lock.  Fortunately this is the case.

<title>dm raid: fix inaccessible superblocks causing oops in configure_discard_support</title>

Commit 48cf06bc5f ("dm raid: add discard support for RAID levels 4, 5
and 6") did not properly handle missing metadata device(s).  A failing
read of the superblock causes the metadata and data devices to be
removed from the dev array in struct raid_set, setting references to
both devices to NULL.  configure_discard_support() nonetheless tries to
access the data dev unconditionally causing an oops.

<title>dm raid: ensure superblock's size matches device's logical block size</title>

<content type='text'>
The dm-raid superblock (struct dm_raid_superblock) is padded to 512
bytes and that size is being used to read it in from the metadata
device into one preallocated page.

Reading or writing this on a 512-byte sector device works fine but on
a 4096-byte sector device this fails.

Set the dm-raid superblock's size to the logical block size of the
metadata device, because IO at that size is guaranteed too work.  Also
add a size check to avoid silent partial metadata loss in case the
superblock should ever grow past the logical block size or PAGE_SIZE.

In case of RAID levels 4, 5 and 6 we have to verify each RAID members'
ability to zero data on discards to avoid stripe data corruption -- if
discard_zeroes_data is not set for each RAID member discard support must
be disabled.  But given the uncertainty of whether or not a RAID member
properly supports zeroing data on discard we require the user to
explicitly allow discard support on RAID levels 4, 5, and 6 by setting
a dm-raid module paramter, e.g.: dm-raid.devices_handle_discard_safely=Y
Otherwise, discards could cause data corruption on RAID4/5/6.

MD:  Remember the last sync operation that was performed

This patch adds a field to the mddev structure to track the last
sync operation that was performed.  This is especially useful when
it comes to what is recorded in mismatch_cnt in sysfs.  If the
last operation was "data-check", then it reports the number of
descrepancies found by the user-initiated check.  If it was a
"repair" operation, then it is reporting the number of
descrepancies repaired.  etc.
