commit 9bbf5feecc7eab2c370496c1c161bbfe62084028 upstream.

This is an already known issue that dm-thin volume cannot be used as
swap, otherwise a deadlock may happen when dm-thin internal memory
demand triggers swap I/O on the dm-thin volume itself.

But thanks to commit a666e5c05e7c ("dm: fix deadlock when swapping to
encrypted device"), the limit_swap_bios target flag can also be used
for dm-thin to avoid the recursive I/O when it is used as swap.

Fix is to simply set ti-&gt;limit_swap_bios to true in both pool_ctr()
and thin_ctr().

In my test, I create a dm-thin volume /dev/vg/swap and use it as swap
device. Then I run fio on another dm-thin volume /dev/vg/main and use
large --blocksize to trigger swap I/O onto /dev/vg/swap.

The following fio command line is used in my test,
  fio --name recursive-swap-io --lockmem 1 --iodepth 128 \
     --ioengine libaio --filename /dev/vg/main --rw randrw \
    --blocksize 1M --numjobs 32 --time_based --runtime=12h

Without this fix, the whole system can be locked up within 15 seconds.

With this fix, there is no any deadlock or hung task observed after
2 hours of running fio.

Furthermore, if blocksize is changed from 1M to 128M, after around 30
seconds fio has no visible I/O, and the out-of-memory killer message
shows up in kernel message. After around 20 minutes all fio processes
are killed and the whole system is back to being alive.

This is exactly what is expected when recursive I/O happens on dm-thin
volume when it is used as swap.

<title>dm thin: resume even if in FAIL mode</title>

[ Upstream commit 19eb1650afeb1aa86151f61900e9e5f1de5d8d02 ]

If a thinpool set fail_io while suspending, resume will fail with:
 device-mapper: resume ioctl on vg-thinpool  failed: Invalid argument

The thin-pool also can't be removed if an in-flight bio is in the
deferred list.

This can be easily reproduced using:

  echo "offline" &gt; /sys/block/sda/device/state
  dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/thin bs=4K count=1
  dmsetup suspend /dev/mapper/pool
  mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/thin
  dmsetup resume /dev/mapper/pool

The root cause is maybe_resize_data_dev() will check fail_io and return
error before called dm_resume.

Fix this by adding FAIL mode check at the end of pool_preresume().

commit 88430ebcbc0ec637b710b947738839848c20feff upstream.

When dm_resume() and dm_destroy() are concurrent, it will
lead to UAF, as follows:

One of the concurrency UAF can be shown as below:

                                    |     msleep(1)

    atomic_dec(&amp;md-&gt;holders)        |
                                    |     dm_table_destroy
                                    |       pool_dtr
                                    |         __pool_dec
                                    |           __pool_destroy
                                    |             destroy_workqueue
                                    |             kfree(pool) # free pool
        time out
__do_softirq
  run_timer_softirq # pool has already been freed

This can be easily reproduced using:
  1. create thin-pool
  2. dmsetup suspend pool
  3. dmsetup resume pool
  4. dmsetup remove_all # Concurrent with 3

The root cause of this UAF bug is that dm_resume() adds timer after
dm_destroy() skips cancelling the timer because of suspend status.
After timeout, it will call run_timer_softirq(), however pool has
already been freed. The concurrency UAF bug will happen.

Therefore, cancelling timer again in __pool_destroy().

[ Upstream commit 70de2cbda8a5d788284469e755f8b097d339c240 ]

Invoking dm_get_device() twice on the same device path with different
modes is dangerous.  Because in that case, upgrade_mode() will alloc a
new 'dm_dev' and free the old one, which may be referenced by a previous
caller.  Dereferencing the dangling pointer will trigger kernel NULL
pointer dereference.

The following two cases can reproduce this issue.  Actually, they are
invalid setups that must be disallowed, e.g.:

1. Creating a thin-pool with read_only mode, and the same device as
both metadata and data.

dmsetup create thinp --table \
    "0 41943040 thin-pool /dev/vdb /dev/vdb 128 0 1 read_only"

2. Creating a external snapshot using the same thin-pool device.

dmsetup create thinp --table \
    "0 41943040 thin-pool /dev/vdc /dev/vdb 128 0 2 ignore_discard"
dmsetup message /dev/mapper/thinp 0 "create_thin 0"

[ Upstream commit 70de2cbda8a5d788284469e755f8b097d339c240 ]

Invoking dm_get_device() twice on the same device path with different
modes is dangerous.  Because in that case, upgrade_mode() will alloc a
new 'dm_dev' and free the old one, which may be referenced by a previous
caller.  Dereferencing the dangling pointer will trigger kernel NULL
pointer dereference.

The following two cases can reproduce this issue.  Actually, they are
invalid setups that must be disallowed, e.g.:

1. Creating a thin-pool with read_only mode, and the same device as
both metadata and data.

dmsetup create thinp --table \
    "0 41943040 thin-pool /dev/vdb /dev/vdb 128 0 1 read_only"

2. Creating a external snapshot using the same thin-pool device.

<title>dm thin: fix bug where bio that overwrites thin block ignores FUA</title>

commit 4ae280b4ee3463fa57bbe6eede26b97daff8a0f1 upstream.

When provisioning a new data block for a virtual block, either because
the block was previously unallocated or because we are breaking sharing,
if the whole block of data is being overwritten the bio that triggered
the provisioning is issued immediately, skipping copying or zeroing of
the data block.

When this bio completes the new mapping is inserted in to the pool's
metadata by process_prepared_mapping(), where the bio completion is
signaled to the upper layers.

This completion is signaled without first committing the metadata.  If
the bio in question has the REQ_FUA flag set and the system crashes
right after its completion and before the next metadata commit, then the
write is lost despite the REQ_FUA flag requiring that I/O completion for
this request must only be signaled after the data has been committed to
non-volatile storage.

Fix this by deferring the completion of overwrite bios, with the REQ_FUA
flag set, until after the metadata has been committed.

commit d445bd9cec1a850c2100fcf53684c13b3fd934f2 upstream.

Commit 00a0ea33b495 ("dm thin: do not queue freed thin mapping for next
stage processing") changed process_prepared_discard_passdown_pt1() to
increment all the blocks being discarded until after the passdown had
completed to avoid them being prematurely reused.

IO issued to a thin device that breaks sharing with a snapshot, followed
by a discard issued to snapshot(s) that previously shared the block(s),
results in passdown_double_checking_shared_status() being called to
iterate through the blocks double checking their reference count is zero
and issuing the passdown if so.  So a side effect of commit 00a0ea33b495
is passdown_double_checking_shared_status() was broken.

Fix this by checking if the block reference count is greater than 1.
Also, rename dm_pool_block_is_used() to dm_pool_block_is_shared().

<title>dm thin: send event about thin-pool state change _after_ making it</title>

commit f6c367585d0d851349d3a9e607c43e5bea993fa1 upstream.

Sending a DM event before a thin-pool state change is about to happen is
a bug.  It wasn't realized until it became clear that userspace response
to the event raced with the actual state change that the event was
meant to notify about.

Fix this by first updating internal thin-pool state to reflect what the
DM event is being issued about.  This fixes a long-standing racey/buggy
userspace device-mapper-test-suite 'resize_io' test that would get an
event but not find the state it was looking for -- so it would just go
on to hang because no other events caused the test to reevaluate the
thin-pool's state.

<title>dm thin metadata: try to avoid ever aborting transactions</title>

Committing a transaction can consume some metadata of it's own, we now
reserve a small amount of metadata to cover this.  Free metadata
reported by the kernel will not include this reserve.

If any of the reserve has been used after a commit we enter a new
internal state PM_OUT_OF_METADATA_SPACE.  This is reported as
PM_READ_ONLY, so no userland changes are needed.  If the metadata
device is resized the pool will move back to PM_WRITE.

These changes mean we never need to abort and rollback a transaction due
to running out of metadata space.  This is particularly important
because there have been a handful of reports of data corruption against
DM thin-provisioning that can all be attributed to the thin-pool having
ran out of metadata space.

Now both check_for_space() and do_no_space_timeout() will read &amp; write

shown in the following case, the default setting of "queue_if_no_space"
can get lost.

precondition:

    * pool is in Out-of-Data-Space (OODS) mode
    * no_space_timeout worker has been queued

Fix it by stopping no_space_timeout worker when switching to write mode.
