commit e836007089ba8fdf24e636ef2b007651fb4582e6 upstream.

We've found that using raid0 with the 'original' layout and discard
enabled with different disk sizes (such that at least two zones are
created) can result in data corruption. This is due to the fact that
the discard handling in 'raid0_handle_discard()' assumes the 'alternate'
layout. We've seen this corruption using ext4 but other filesystems are
likely susceptible as well.

More specifically, while multiple zones are necessary to create the
corruption, the corruption may not occur with multiple zones if they
layout in such a way the layout matches what the 'alternate' layout
would have produced. Thus, not all raid0 devices with the 'original'
layout, different size disks and discard enabled will encounter this
corruption.

The 3.14 kernel inadvertently changed the raid0 disk layout for different
size disks. Thus, running a pre-3.14 kernel and post-3.14 kernel on the
same raid0 array could corrupt data. This lead to the creation of the
'original' layout (to match the pre-3.14 layout) and the 'alternate' layout
(to match the post 3.14 layout) in the 5.4 kernel time frame and an option
to tell the kernel which layout to use (since it couldn't be autodetected).
However, when the 'original' layout was added back to 5.4 discard support
for the 'original' layout was not added leading this issue.

I've been able to reliably reproduce the corruption with the following
test case:

1. create raid0 array with different size disks using original layout
2. mkfs
3. mount -o discard
4. create lots of files
5. remove 1/2 the files
6. fstrim -a (or just the mount point for the raid0 array)
7. umount
8. fsck -fn /dev/md0 (spews all sorts of corruptions)

Let's fix this by adding proper discard support to the 'original' layout.
The fix 'maps' the 'original' layout disks to the order in which they are
read/written such that we can compare the disks in the same way that the
current 'alternate' layout does. A 'disk_shift' field is added to
'struct strip_zone'. This could be computed on the fly in
raid0_handle_discard() but by adding this field, we save some computation
in the discard path.

Note we could also potentially fix this by re-ordering the disks in the
zones that follow the first one, and then always read/writing them using
the 'alternate' layout. However, that is seen as a more substantial change,
and we are attempting the least invasive fix at this time to remedy the
corruption.

I've verified the change using the reproducer mentioned above. Typically,
the corruption is seen after less than 3 iterations, while the patch has
run 500+ iterations.

[ Upstream commit 1727fd5015d8f93474148f94e34cda5aa6ad4a43 ]

Current code produces a warning as shown below when total characters
in the constituent block device names plus the slashes exceeds 200.
snprintf() returns the number of characters generated from the given
input, which could cause the expression “200 – len” to wrap around
to a large positive number. Fix this by using scnprintf() instead,
which returns the actual number of characters written into the buffer.

<title>md/raid0: Ignore RAID0 layout if the second zone has only one device</title>

commit ea23994edc4169bd90d7a9b5908c6ccefd82fa40 upstream.

The RAID0 layout is irrelevant if all members have the same size so the
array has only one zone. It is *also* irrelevant if the array has two
zones and the second zone has only one device, for example if the array
has two members of different sizes.

So in that case it makes sense to allow assembly even when the layout is
undefined, like what is done when the array has only one zone.

Drivers shouldn't really mess with the readahead size, as that is a VM
concept.  Instead set it based on the optimal I/O size by lifting the
algorithm from the md driver when registering the disk.  Also set
bdi-&gt;io_pages there as well by applying the same scheme based on
max_sectors.  To ensure the limits work well for stacking drivers a
new helper is added to update the readahead limits from the block
limits, which is also called from disk_stack_limits.

Except for pktdvd, the only places setting congested bits are file
systems that allocate their own backing_dev_info structures.  And
pktdvd is a deprecated driver that isn't useful in stack setup
either.  So remove the dead congested_fn stacking infrastructure.

generic_make_request has always been very confusingly misnamed, so rename
it to submit_bio_noacct to make it clear that it is submit_bio minus
accounting and a few checks.

<title>block: fix an integer overflow in logical block size</title>

Logical block size has type unsigned short. That means that it can be at
most 32768. However, there are architectures that can run with 64k pages
(for example arm64) and on these architectures, it may be possible to
create block devices with 64k block size.

For exmaple (run this on an architecture with 64k pages):

Mount will fail with this error because it tries to read the superblock using 2-sector
access:
  device-mapper: writecache: I/O is not aligned, sector 2, size 1024, block size 65536
  EXT4-fs (dm-0): unable to read superblock

This patch changes the logical block size from unsigned short to unsigned
int to avoid the overflow.
