commit ee1dfad5325ff1cfb2239e564cd411b3bfe8667a upstream.

dm_queue_split() is removed because __split_and_process_bio() _must_
handle splitting bios to ensure proper bio submission and completion
ordering as a bio is split.

Otherwise, multiple recursive calls to -&gt;submit_bio will cause multiple
split bios to be allocated from the same -&gt;bio_split mempool at the same
time. This would result in deadlock in low memory conditions because no
progress could be made (only one bio is available in -&gt;bio_split
mempool).

This fix has been verified to still fix the loss of performance, due
to excess splitting, that commit 120c9257f5f1 provided.

Fixes: 120c9257f5f1 ("Revert "dm: always call blk_queue_split() in dm_process_bio()"")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 5.0+, requires custom backport due to 5.9 changes

commit 02186d8897d49b0afd3c80b6cf23437d91024065 upstream.

A recent fix to the dm_dax_supported() flow uncovered a latent bug. When
dm_get_live_table() fails it is still required to drop the
srcu_read_lock(). Without this change the lvm2 test-suite triggers this
warning:

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 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().

kobject_uevent may allocate memory and it may be called while there are dm

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.

Given request-based DM now uses blk-mq's blk_mq_queue_inflight() to
determine if outstanding IO has completed (and DM has no control over
the blk-mq state machine used to track outstanding IO) it is unsafe to
wakeup waiter (dm_wait_for_completion) before blk-mq has cleared a
request's state bits (e.g. MQ_RQ_IN_FLIGHT or MQ_RQ_COMPLETE).  As
such dm_wait_for_completion() could be left to wait indefinitely if no
other requests complete.

Fix this by eliminating request-based DM's use of waitqueue to wait
for blk-mq requests to complete in dm_wait_for_completion.

Naohiro reported that issuing zone-append bios to a zoned block device
underneath a dm-linear device does not work as expected.

This because we forgot to reverse-map the sector the device wrote to the
original bio.

For zone-append bios, get the offset in the zone of the written sector
from the clone bio and add that to the original bio's sector position.

Naohiro reported that issuing zone-append bios to a zoned block device
underneath a dm-linear device does not work as expected.

This because we forgot to reverse-map the sector the device wrote to the
original bio.

For zone-append bios, get the offset in the zone of the written sector
from the clone bio and add that to the original bio's sector position.

Fixes: 0512a75b98f8 ("block: Introduce REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND")

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - The largest change for this cycle is the DM zoned target's metadata
   version 2 feature that adds support for pairing regular block devices
   with a zoned device to ease the performance impact associated with
   finite random zones of zoned device.

   The changes came in three batches: the first prepared for and then
   added the ability to pair a single regular block device, the second
   was a batch of fixes to improve zoned's reclaim heuristic, and the
   third removed the limitation of only adding a single additional
   regular block device to allow many devices.

   Testing has shown linear scaling as more devices are added.

 - Add new emulated block size (ebs) target that emulates a smaller
   logical_block_size than a block device supports

   The primary use-case is to emulate "512e" devices that have 512 byte
   logical_block_size and 4KB physical_block_size. This is useful to
   some legacy applications that otherwise wouldn't be able to be used
   on 4K devices because they depend on issuing IO in 512 byte
   granularity.

 - Add discard interfaces to DM bufio. First consumer of the interface
   is the dm-ebs target that makes heavy use of dm-bufio.

 - Fix DM crypt's block queue_limits stacking to not truncate
   logic_block_size.

 - Add Documentation for DM integrity's status line.

 - Switch DMDEBUG from a compile time config option to instead use
   dynamic debug via pr_debug.

 - Fix DM multipath target's hueristic for how it manages
   "queue_if_no_path" state internally.

   DM multipath now avoids disabling "queue_if_no_path" unless it is
   actually needed (e.g. in response to configure timeout or explicit
   "fail_if_no_path" message).

   This fixes reports of spurious -EIO being reported back to userspace
   application during fault tolerance testing with an NVMe backend.
   Added various dynamic DMDEBUG messages to assist with debugging
   queue_if_no_path in the future.

 - Add a new DM multipath "Historical Service Time" Path Selector.

 - Fix DM multipath's dm_blk_ioctl() to switch paths on IO error.

 - Improve DM writecache target performance by using explicit cache
   flushing for target's single-threaded usecase and a small cleanup to
   remove unnecessary test in persistent_memory_claim.

 - Other small cleanups in DM core, dm-persistent-data, and DM
   integrity.
