commit d17f744e883b2f8d13cca252d71cfe8ace346f7d upstream.

There's a KASAN warning in raid10_remove_disk when running the lvm
test lvconvert-raid-reshape.sh. We fix this warning by verifying that the
value "number" is valid.

<title>md/raid10: initialize r10_bio-&gt;read_slot before use.</title>

commit 93decc563637c4288380912eac0eb42fb246cc04 upstream.

In __make_request() a new r10bio is allocated and passed to
raid10_read_request(). The read_slot member of the bio is not
initialized, and the raid10_read_request() uses it to index an
array. This leads to occasional panics.

Fix by initializing the field to invalid value and checking for
valid value in raid10_read_request().

<title>md: improve handling of bio with REQ_PREFLUSH in md_flush_request()</title>

commit 775d78319f1ceb32be8eb3b1202ccdc60e9cb7f1 upstream.

If pers-&gt;make_request fails in md_flush_request(), the bio is lost. To
fix this, pass back a bool to indicate if the original make_request call
should continue to handle the I/O and instead of assuming the flush logic
will push it to completion.

Convert md_flush_request to return a bool and no longer calls the raid
driver's make_request function.  If the return is true, then the md flush
logic has or will complete the bio and the md make_request call is done.
If false, then the md make_request function needs to keep processing like
it is a normal bio. Let the original call to md_handle_request handle any
need to retry sending the bio to the raid driver's make_request function
should it be needed.

Also mark md_flush_request and the make_request function pointer as
__must_check to issue warnings should these critical return values be
ignored.

Fixes: 2bc13b83e629 ("md: batch flush requests.")

<title>md/raid10: prevent access of uninitialized resync_pages offset</title>

commit 45422b704db392a6d79d07ee3e3670b11048bd53 upstream.

Due to unneeded multiplication in the out_free_pages portion of
r10buf_pool_alloc(), when using a 3-copy raid10 layout, it is
possible to access a resync_pages offset that has not been
initialized.  This access translates into a crash of the system
within resync_free_pages() while passing a bad pointer to
put_page().  Remove the multiplication, preventing access to the
uninitialized area.

<title>md: allow last device to be forcibly removed from RAID1/RAID10.</title>

<content type='text'>
When the 'last' device in a RAID1 or RAID10 reports an error,
we do not mark it as failed.  This would serve little purpose
as there is no risk of losing data beyond that which is obviously
lost (as there is with RAID5), and there could be other sectors
on the device which are readable, and only readable from this device.
This in general this maximises access to data.

However the current implementation also stops an admin from removing
the last device by direct action.  This is rarely useful, but in many
case is not harmful and can make automation easier by removing special
cases.

Also, if an attempt to write metadata fails the device must be marked
as faulty, else an infinite loop will result, attempting to update
the metadata on all non-faulty devices.

So add 'fail_last_dev' member to 'struct mddev', then we can bypasses
the 'last disk' checks for RAID1 and RAID10, and control the behavior
per array by change sysfs node.

Just like raid1, we do not queue write error bio to retry write
and acknowlege badblocks, when the device is faulty.

<title>md/raid10: read balance chooses idlest disk for SSD</title>

Andy reported that raid10 array with SSD disks has poor
read performance. Compared with raid1, RAID-1 can be 3x
faster than RAID-10 sometimes [1].

The thing is that raid10 chooses the low distance disk
for read request, however, the approach doesn't work
well for SSD device since it doesn't have spindle like
HDD, we should just read from the SSD which has less
pending IO like commit 9dedf60313fa4 ("md/raid1: read
balance chooses idlest disk for SSD").

So this commit selects the idlest SSD disk for read if
array has none rotational disk, otherwise, read_balance
uses the previous distance priority algorithm. With the
change, the performance of raid10 gets increased largely
per Andy's test [2].

<title>md: raid10: Use struct_size() in kmalloc()</title>

One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:

struct foo {
   int stuff;
   struct boo entry[];
};

instance = kmalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL);

Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:

instance = kmalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);

This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
