commit f9e040efcc28309e5c592f7e79085a9a52e31f58 upstream.

The function dax_direct_access doesn't take partitions into account,
it always maps pages from the beginning of the device. Therefore,
persistent_memory_claim() must get the partition offset using
get_start_sect() and add it to the page offsets passed to
dax_direct_access().

<title>dm writecache: fix data corruption when reloading the target</title>

commit 31b22120194b5c0d460f59e0c98504de1d3f1f14 upstream.

The dm-writecache reads metadata in the target constructor. However, when
we reload the target, there could be another active instance running on
the same device. This is the sequence of operations when doing a reload:

1. construct new target
2. suspend old target
3. resume new target
4. destroy old target

Metadata that were written by the old target between steps 1 and 2 would
not be visible by the new target.

Fix the data corruption by loading the metadata in the resume handler.

Also, validate block_size is at least as large as both the devices'
logical block size and only read 1 block from the metadata during
target constructor -- no need to read entirety of metadata now that it
is done during resume.

Initializing a dm-writecache device can take a long time when the

<title>dm: report suspended device during destroy</title>

<content type='text'>
commit adc0daad366b62ca1bce3e2958a40b0b71a8b8b3 upstream.

The function dm_suspended returns true if the target is suspended.
However, when the target is being suspended during unload, it returns
false.

An example where this is a problem: the test "!dm_suspended(wc-&gt;ti)" in
writecache_writeback is not sufficient, because dm_suspended returns
zero while writecache_suspend is in progress.  As is, without an
enhanced dm_suspended, simply switching from flush_workqueue to
drain_workqueue still emits warnings:
workqueue writecache-writeback: drain_workqueue() isn't complete after 10 tries
workqueue writecache-writeback: drain_workqueue() isn't complete after 100 tries
workqueue writecache-writeback: drain_workqueue() isn't complete after 200 tries
workqueue writecache-writeback: drain_workqueue() isn't complete after 300 tries
workqueue writecache-writeback: drain_workqueue() isn't complete after 400 tries

writecache_suspend calls flush_workqueue(wc-&gt;writeback_wq) - this function
flushes the current work. However, the workqueue may re-queue itself and
flush_workqueue doesn't wait for re-queued works to finish. Because of
this - the function writecache_writeback continues execution after the
device was suspended and then concurrently with writecache_dtr, causing
a crash in writecache_writeback.

We must use drain_workqueue - that waits until the work and all re-queued
works finish.

As a prereq for switching to drain_workqueue, this commit fixes
dm_suspended to return true after the presuspend hook and before the
postsuspend hook - just like during a normal suspend. It allows
simplifying the dm-integrity and dm-writecache targets so that they
don't have to maintain suspended flags on their own.

With this change use of drain_workqueue() can be used effectively.  This
change was tested with the lvm2 testsuite and cryptsetup testsuite and
the are no regressions.

writecache_suspend calls flush_workqueue(wc-&gt;writeback_wq) - this function
flushes the current work. However, the workqueue may re-queue itself and
flush_workqueue doesn't wait for re-queued works to finish. Because of
this - the function writecache_writeback continues execution after the
device was suspended and then concurrently with writecache_dtr, causing
a crash in writecache_writeback.

We must use drain_workqueue - that waits until the work and all re-queued
works finish.

As a prereq for switching to drain_workqueue, this commit fixes
dm_suspended to return true after the presuspend hook and before the
postsuspend hook - just like during a normal suspend. It allows
simplifying the dm-integrity and dm-writecache targets so that they
don't have to maintain suspended flags on their own.

With this change use of drain_workqueue() can be used effectively.  This
change was tested with the lvm2 testsuite and cryptsetup testsuite and
the are no regressions.
