commit ed8b45a3679eb49069b094c0711b30833f27c734 upstream.

If dm_btree_del()'s call to push_frame() fails, e.g. due to
btree_node_validator finding invalid metadata, the dm_btree_del() error
path must unlock all frames (which have active dm-bufio buffers) that
were pushed onto the del_stack.

Otherwise, dm_bufio_client_destroy() will BUG_ON() because dm-bufio
buffers have leaked, e.g.:
  device-mapper: bufio: leaked buffer 3, hold count 1, list 0

commit 30ce6e1cc5a0f781d60227e9096c86e188d2c2bd upstream.

The block allocated at the start of btree_split_sibling() is never
released if later insert_at() fails.

Fix this by releasing the previously allocated bufio block using
unlock_block().

commit 4dcb8b57df3593dcb20481d9d6cf79d1dc1534be upstream.

btree_split_beneath()'s error path had an outstanding FIXME that speaks
directly to the potential for _not_ cleaning up a previously allocated
bufio-backed block.

Fix this by releasing the previously allocated bufio block using
unlock_block().

<title>dm btree: add ref counting ops for the leaves of top level btrees</title>

commit b0dc3c8bc157c60b1d470163882be8c13e1950af upstream.

When using nested btrees, the top leaves of the top levels contain
block addresses for the root of the next tree down.  If we shadow a
shared leaf node the leaf values (sub tree roots) should be incremented
accordingly.

This is only an issue if there is metadata sharing in the top levels.
Which only occurs if metadata snapshots are being used (as is possible
with dm-thinp).  And could result in a block from the thinp metadata
snap being reused early, thus corrupting the thinp metadata snap.

Allocate memory using GFP_NOIO when deleting a btree.  dm_btree_del()
can be called via an ioctl and we don't want to recurse into the FS or

commit 9b460d3699324d570a4d4161c3741431887f102f upstream.

The walk code was using a 'ro_spine' to hold it's locked btree nodes.
But this data structure is designed for the rolling lock scheme, and
as such automatically unlocks blocks that are two steps up the call
chain.  This is not suitable for the simple recursive walk algorithm,
which retraces its steps.

This code is only used by the persistent array code, which in turn is
only used by dm-cache.  In order to trigger it you need to have a
mapping tree that is more than 2 levels deep; which equates to 8-16
million cache blocks.  For instance a 4T ssd with a very small block
size of 32k only just triggers this bug.

The fix just places the locked blocks on the stack, and stops using
the ro_spine altogether.

When deleting nested btrees, the code forgets to delete the innermost
btree.  The thin-metadata code serendipitously compensates for this by
claiming there is one extra layer in the tree.

This patch corrects both problems.
