commit e406f12dde1a8375d77ea02d91f313fb1a9c6aec upstream.

mddev-&gt;sync_thread can be set to NULL on kzalloc failure downstream.
The patch checks for such a scenario and frees allocated resources.

Committer node:

Added similar fix to raid5.c, as suggested by Guoqing.

commit b761dcf1217760a42f7897c31dcb649f59b2333e upstream.

In reshape_request it already adds len to sector_nr already. It's wrong to add len to
sector_nr again after adding pages to bio. If there is bad block it can't copy one chunk
at a time, it needs to goto read_more. Now the sector_nr is wrong. It can cause data
corruption.

<title>RAID10 BUG_ON in raise_barrier when force is true and conf-&gt;barrier is 0</title>

[ Upstream commit 1d0ffd264204eba1861865560f1f7f7a92919384 ]

In raid10 reshape_request it gets max_sectors in read_balance. If the underlayer disks
have bad blocks, the max_sectors is less than last. It will call goto read_more many
times. It calls raise_barrier(conf, sectors_done != 0) every time. In this condition
sectors_done is not 0. So the value passed to the argument force of raise_barrier is
true.

In raise_barrier it checks conf-&gt;barrier when force is true. If force is true and
conf-&gt;barrier is 0, it panic. In this case reshape_request submits bio to under layer
disks. And in the callback function of the bio it calls lower_barrier. If the bio
finishes before calling raise_barrier again, it can trigger the BUG_ON.

Add one pair of raise_barrier/lower_barrier to fix this bug.

<title>md/raid10: fix that replacement cannot complete recovery after reassemble</title>

[ Upstream commit bda3153998f3eb2cafa4a6311971143628eacdbc ]

During assemble, the spare marked for replacement is not checked.
conf-&gt;fullsync cannot be updated to be 1. As a result, recovery will
treat it as a clean array. All recovering sectors are skipped. Original
device is replaced with the not-recovered spare.

mdadm -C /dev/md0 -l10 -n4 -pn2 /dev/loop[0123]
mdadm /dev/md0 -a /dev/loop4
mdadm /dev/md0 --replace /dev/loop0
mdadm -S /dev/md0 # stop array during recovery

mdadm -A /dev/md0 /dev/loop[01234]

After reassemble, you can see recovery go on, but it completes
immediately. In fact, recovery is not actually processed.

To solve this problem, we just add the missing logics for replacment
spares. (In raid1.c or raid5.c, they have already been checked.)

<title>md raid10: fix NULL deference in handle_write_completed()</title>

[ Upstream commit 01a69cab01c184d3786af09e9339311123d63d22 ]

In the case of 'recover', an r10bio with R10BIO_WriteError &amp;
R10BIO_IsRecover will be progressed by handle_write_completed().
This function traverses all r10bio-&gt;devs[copies].
If devs[m].repl_bio != NULL, it thinks conf-&gt;mirrors[dev].replacement
is also not NULL. However, this is not always true.

When there is an rdev of raid10 has replacement, then each r10bio
-&gt;devs[m].repl_bio != NULL in conf-&gt;r10buf_pool. However, in 'recover',
even if corresponded replacement is NULL, it doesn't clear r10bio
-&gt;devs[m].repl_bio, resulting in replacement NULL deference.

This bug was introduced when replacement support for raid10 was
added in Linux 3.3.

As NeilBrown suggested:
	Elsewhere the determination of "is this device part of the
	resync/recovery" is made by resting bio-&gt;bi_end_io.
	If this is end_sync_write, then we tried to write here.
	If it is NULL, then we didn't try to write.

commit 6f287ca6046edd34ed83aafb7f9033c9c2e809e2 upstream.

We need to set "first = 0' at the end of rdev_for_each
loop, so we can get the array's min_offset_diff correctly
otherwise min_offset_diff just means the last rdev's
offset diff.

[only the first chunk, due to b506335e5d2b ("md/raid10: skip spare disk as
'first' disk") being already applied - gregkh]

<id>4cf189eee2dd17d60c9141b7f7fe0f277ff74740</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 61eb2b43b99ebdc9bc6bc83d9792257b243e7cb3 upstream.

Neil Brown pointed out a potential deadlock in raid 10 code with
bio_split/chain. The raid1 code could have the same issue, but recent
barrier rework makes it less likely to happen. The deadlock happens in
below sequence:

1. generic_make_request(bio), this will set current-&gt;bio_list
2. raid10_make_request will split bio to bio1 and bio2
3. __make_request(bio1), wait_barrer, add underlayer disk bio to
current-&gt;bio_list
4. __make_request(bio2), wait_barrer

If raise_barrier happens between 3 &amp; 4, since wait_barrier runs at 3,
raise_barrier waits for IO completion from 3. And since raise_barrier
sets barrier, 4 waits for raise_barrier. But IO from 3 can't be
dispatched because raid10_make_request() doesn't finished yet.

The solution is to adjust the IO ordering. Quotes from Neil:
"
It is much safer to:

    if (need to split) {
        split = bio_split(bio, ...)
        bio_chain(...)
        make_request_fn(split);
        generic_make_request(bio);
   } else
        make_request_fn(mddev, bio);

This way we first process the initial section of the bio (in 'split')
which will queue some requests to the underlying devices.  These
requests will be queued in generic_make_request.
Then we queue the remainder of the bio, which will be added to the end
of the generic_make_request queue.
Then we return.
generic_make_request() will pop the lower-level device requests off the
queue and handle them first.  Then it will process the remainder
of the original bio once the first section has been fully processed.
"

Note, this only happens in read path. In write path, the bio is flushed to
underlaying disks either by blk flush (from schedule) or offladed to raid1/10d.
It's queued in current-&gt;bio_list.

commit 61eb2b43b99ebdc9bc6bc83d9792257b243e7cb3 upstream.

Neil Brown pointed out a potential deadlock in raid 10 code with
bio_split/chain. The raid1 code could have the same issue, but recent
barrier rework makes it less likely to happen. The deadlock happens in
below sequence:

1. generic_make_request(bio), this will set current-&gt;bio_list
2. raid10_make_request will split bio to bio1 and bio2
3. __make_request(bio1), wait_barrer, add underlayer disk bio to
current-&gt;bio_list
4. __make_request(bio2), wait_barrer

If raise_barrier happens between 3 &amp; 4, since wait_barrier runs at 3,
raise_barrier waits for IO completion from 3. And since raise_barrier
sets barrier, 4 waits for raise_barrier. But IO from 3 can't be
dispatched because raid10_make_request() doesn't finished yet.

The solution is to adjust the IO ordering. Quotes from Neil:
"
It is much safer to:

    if (need to split) {
        split = bio_split(bio, ...)
        bio_chain(...)
        make_request_fn(split);
        generic_make_request(bio);
   } else
        make_request_fn(mddev, bio);

This way we first process the initial section of the bio (in 'split')
which will queue some requests to the underlying devices.  These
requests will be queued in generic_make_request.
Then we queue the remainder of the bio, which will be added to the end
of the generic_make_request queue.
Then we return.

commit 9b622e2bbcf049c82e2550d35fb54ac205965f50 upstream.

md pending write counter must be incremented after bio is split,
otherwise it gets decremented too many times in end bio callback and
becomes negative.
