commit a9cb9f4148ef6bb8fabbdaa85c42b2171fbd5a0d upstream.

Don't call report zones for more zones than the user actually requested,
otherwise this can lead to out-of-bounds accesses in the callback
functions.

Such a situation can happen if the target's -&gt;report_zones() callback
function returns 0 because we've reached the end of the target and then
restart the report zones on the second target.

We're again calling into -&gt;report_zones() and ultimately into the user
supplied callback function but when we're not subtracting the number of
zones already processed this may lead to out-of-bounds accesses in the
user callbacks.

<title>dm integrity: fix integrity recalculation that is improperly skipped</title>

commit 5df96f2b9f58a5d2dc1f30fe7de75e197f2c25f2 upstream.

Commit adc0daad366b62ca1bce3e2958a40b0b71a8b8b3 ("dm: report suspended
device during destroy") broke integrity recalculation.

The problem is dm_suspended() returns true not only during suspend,
but also during resume. So this race condition could occur:
1. dm_integrity_resume calls queue_work(ic-&gt;recalc_wq, &amp;ic-&gt;recalc_work)
2. integrity_recalc (&amp;ic-&gt;recalc_work) preempts the current thread
3. integrity_recalc calls if (unlikely(dm_suspended(ic-&gt;ti))) goto unlock_ret;
4. integrity_recalc exits and no recalculating is done.

To fix this race condition, add a function dm_post_suspending that is
only true during the postsuspend phase and use it instead of
dm_suspended().

[ Upstream commit 382761dc6312965a11f82f2217e16ec421bf17ae ]

bio_uninit is the proper API to clean up a BIO that has been allocated
on stack or inside a structure that doesn't come from the BIO allocator.
Switch dm to use that instead of bio_disassociate_blkg, which really is
an implementation detail.  Note that the bio_uninit calls are also moved
to the two callers of __send_empty_flush, so that they better pair with
the bio_init calls used to initialize them.

commit 6958c1c640af8c3f40fa8a2eee3b5b905d95b677 upstream.

kobject_uevent may allocate memory and it may be called while there are dm
devices suspended. The allocation may recurse into a suspended device,
causing a deadlock. We must set the noio flag when sending a uevent.

Pull libnvdimm and dax updates from Dan Williams:
 "There were multiple touches outside of drivers/nvdimm/ this round to
  add cross arch compatibility to the devm_memremap_pages() interface,
  enhance numa information for persistent memory ranges, and add a
  zero_page_range() dax operation.

  This cycle I switched from the patchwork api to Konstantin's b4 script
  for collecting tags (from x86, PowerPC, filesystem, and device-mapper
  folks), and everything looks to have gone ok there. This has all
  appeared in -next with no reported issues.

  Summary:

   - Add support for region alignment configuration and enforcement to
     fix compatibility across architectures and PowerPC page size
     configurations.

   - Introduce 'zero_page_range' as a dax operation. This facilitates
     filesystem-dax operation without a block-device.

   - Introduce phys_to_target_node() to facilitate drivers that want to
     know resulting numa node if a given reserved address range was
     onlined.

   - Advertise a persistence-domain for of_pmem and papr_scm. The
     persistence domain indicates where cpu-store cycles need to reach
     in the platform-memory subsystem before the platform will consider
     them power-fail protected.

   - Promote numa_map_to_online_node() to a cross-kernel generic
     facility.

   - Save x86 numa information to allow for node-id lookups for reserved
     memory ranges, deploy that capability for the e820-pmem driver.

   - Pick up some miscellaneous minor fixes, that missed v5.6-final,
     including a some smatch reports in the ioctl path and some unit
     test compilation fixups.

   - Fixup some flexible-array declarations"

<content type='text'>
This reverts commit effd58c95f277744f75d6e08819ac859dbcbd351.

blk_queue_split() is causing excessive IO splitting -- because
blk_max_size_offset() depends on 'chunk_sectors' limit being set and
if it isn't (as is the case for DM targets!) it falls back to
splitting on a 'max_sectors' boundary regardless of offset.

"Fix" this by reverting back to _not_ using blk_queue_split() in
dm_process_bio() for normal IO (reads and writes).  Long-term fix is
still TBD but it should focus on training blk_max_size_offset() to
call into a DM provided hook (to call DM's max_io_len()).

Test results from simple misaligned IO test on 4-way dm-striped device
with chunksize of 128K and stripesize of 512K:

xfs_io -d -c 'pread -b 2m 224s 4072s' /dev/mapper/stripe_dev

This reverts commit effd58c95f277744f75d6e08819ac859dbcbd351.

blk_queue_split() is causing excessive IO splitting -- because
blk_max_size_offset() depends on 'chunk_sectors' limit being set and
if it isn't (as is the case for DM targets!) it falls back to
splitting on a 'max_sectors' boundary regardless of offset.

"Fix" this by reverting back to _not_ using blk_queue_split() in
dm_process_bio() for normal IO (reads and writes).  Long-term fix is
still TBD but it should focus on training blk_max_size_offset() to
call into a DM provided hook (to call DM's max_io_len()).

Test results from simple misaligned IO test on 4-way dm-striped device
with chunksize of 128K and stripesize of 512K:

xfs_io -d -c 'pread -b 2m 224s 4072s' /dev/mapper/stripe_dev

zero_page_range() dax operation is mandatory for dax devices. Right now
that check happens in dax_zero_page_range() function. Dan thinks that's
too late and its better to do the check earlier in alloc_dax().

I also modified alloc_dax() to return pointer with error code in it in
case of failure. Right now it returns NULL and caller assumes failure
happened due to -ENOMEM. But with this -&gt;zero_page_range() check, I
need to return -EINVAL instead.

Current make_request based drivers use either blk_alloc_queue_node or
blk_alloc_queue to allocate a queue, and then set up the make_request_fn
function pointer and a few parameters using the blk_queue_make_request
helper.  Simplify this by passing the make_request pointer to
blk_alloc_queue, and while at it merge the _node variant into the main
helper by always passing a node_id, and remove the superfluous gfp_mask
parameter.  A lower-level __blk_alloc_queue is kept for the blk-mq case.
