[ Upstream commit 305a5170dc5cf3d395bb4c4e9239bca6d0b54b49 ]

Currently, mdadm support --revert-reshape to abort the reshape while
reassembling, as the test 07revert-grow. However, following BUG_ON()
can be triggerred by the test:

kernel BUG at drivers/md/raid5.c:6278!
invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI
irq event stamp: 158985
CPU: 6 PID: 891 Comm: md0_reshape Not tainted 6.9.0-03335-g7592a0b0049a #94
RIP: 0010:reshape_request+0x3f1/0xe60
Call Trace:
 &lt;TASK&gt;
 raid5_sync_request+0x43d/0x550
 md_do_sync+0xb7a/0x2110

 kthread+0x147/0x1c0
 ret_from_fork+0x59/0x70
 ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30
 &lt;/TASK&gt;

Root cause is that --revert-reshape update the raid_disks from 5 to 4,
while reshape position is still set, and after reassembling the array,
reshape position will be read from super block, then during reshape the
checking of 'writepos' that is caculated by old reshape position will
fail.

Fix this panic the easy way first, by converting the BUG_ON() to
WARN_ON(), and stop the reshape if checkings fail.

Noted that mdadm must fix --revert-shape as well, and probably md/raid
should enhance metadata validation as well, however this means
reassemble will fail and there must be user tools to fix the wrong
metadata.

<title>md/raid5: fix deadlock that raid5d() wait for itself to clear MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING</title>

commit 151f66bb618d1fd0eeb84acb61b4a9fa5d8bb0fa upstream.

Xiao reported that lvm2 test lvconvert-raid-takeover.sh can hang with
small possibility, the root cause is exactly the same as commit
bed9e27baf52 ("Revert "md/raid5: Wait for MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING in raid5d"")

However, Dan reported another hang after that, and junxiao investigated
the problem and found out that this is caused by plugged bio can't issue
from raid5d().

Current implementation in raid5d() has a weird dependence:

1) md_check_recovery() from raid5d() must hold 'reconfig_mutex' to clear
   MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING;
2) raid5d() handles IO in a deadloop, until all IO are issued;
3) IO from raid5d() must wait for MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING to be cleared;

This behaviour is introduce before v2.6, and for consequence, if other
context hold 'reconfig_mutex', and md_check_recovery() can't update
super_block, then raid5d() will waste one cpu 100% by the deadloop, until
'reconfig_mutex' is released.

Refer to the implementation from raid1 and raid10, fix this problem by
skipping issue IO if MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING is still set after
md_check_recovery(), daemon thread will be woken up when 'reconfig_mutex'
is released. Meanwhile, the hang problem will be fixed as well.

[ Upstream commit 3445139e3a594be77eff48bc17eff67cf983daed ]

This reverts commit bed9e27baf52a09b7ba2a3714f1e24e17ced386d.

The original set [1][2] was expected to undo a suboptimal fix in [2], and
replace it with a better fix [1]. However, as reported by Dan Moulding [2]
causes an issue with raid5 with journal device.

Revert [2] for now to close the issue. We will follow up on another issue
reported by Juxiao Bi, as [2] is expected to fix it. We believe this is a
good trade-off, because the latter issue happens less freqently.

In the meanwhile, we will NOT revert [1], as it contains the right logic.

[1] commit d6e035aad6c0 ("md: bypass block throttle for superblock update")

This reverts commit 5e2cf333b7bd5d3e62595a44d598a254c697cd74.

That commit introduced the following race and can cause system hung.

                             &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; hung
 wakeup mddev-&gt;thread
 ...
 waiting "MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING" cleared
 &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; hung, raid5d should clear this flag
 but get hung by same flag.

The issue reverted commit fixing is fixed by last patch in a new way.

commit 3f649ab728cda8038259d8f14492fe400fbab911 upstream.

Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings
(e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.

In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining
needless uses with the following script:

git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \
	xargs perl -pi -e \
		's/\buninitialized_var\(([^\)]+)\)/\1/g;
		 s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;'

drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid
pathological white-space.

No outstanding warnings were found building allmodconfig with GCC 9.3.0
for x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, powerpc64le, s390x, mips, sparc64,
alpha, and m68k.

but not the optimal I/O size on reshape.  To prepare for deriving the
read-ahead size from the optimal I/O size make sure it is updated
as well.

[ Upstream commit 5e2cf333b7bd5d3e62595a44d598a254c697cd74 ]

A complicated deadlock exists when using the journal and an elevated
group_thrtead_cnt. It was found with loop devices, but its not clear
whether it can be seen with real disks. The deadlock can occur simply
by writing data with an fio script.

When the deadlock occurs, multiple threads will hang in different ways:

 1) The group threads will hang in the blk-wbt code with bios waiting to
    be submitted to the block layer:

        io_schedule+0x70/0xb0
        rq_qos_wait+0x153/0x210
        wbt_wait+0x115/0x1b0
        io_schedule+0x70/0xb0
        rq_qos_wait+0x153/0x210
        wbt_wait+0x115/0x1b0
        __rq_qos_throttle+0x38/0x60
        blk_mq_submit_bio+0x589/0xcd0
        wbt_wait+0x115/0x1b0
        __rq_qos_throttle+0x38/0x60
        blk_mq_submit_bio+0x589/0xcd0
        __submit_bio+0xe6/0x100
        submit_bio_noacct_nocheck+0x42e/0x470
        submit_bio_noacct+0x4c2/0xbb0
        ops_run_io+0x46b/0x1a30
        handle_stripe+0xcd3/0x36b0
        handle_active_stripes.constprop.0+0x6f6/0xa60
        raid5_do_work+0x177/0x330

    Or:
        io_schedule+0x70/0xb0
        rq_qos_wait+0x153/0x210
        wbt_wait+0x115/0x1b0
        __rq_qos_throttle+0x38/0x60
        blk_mq_submit_bio+0x589/0xcd0
        __submit_bio+0xe6/0x100
        submit_bio_noacct_nocheck+0x42e/0x470
        submit_bio_noacct+0x4c2/0xbb0
        flush_deferred_bios+0x136/0x170
        raid5_do_work+0x262/0x330

 2) The r5l_reclaim thread will hang in the same way, submitting a
    bio to the block layer:

        io_schedule+0x70/0xb0
        rq_qos_wait+0x153/0x210
        wbt_wait+0x115/0x1b0
        __rq_qos_throttle+0x38/0x60
        blk_mq_submit_bio+0x589/0xcd0
        __submit_bio+0xe6/0x100
        submit_bio_noacct_nocheck+0x42e/0x470
        submit_bio_noacct+0x4c2/0xbb0
        submit_bio+0x3f/0xf0
        md_super_write+0x12f/0x1b0
        md_update_sb.part.0+0x7c6/0xff0
        md_update_sb+0x30/0x60
        r5l_do_reclaim+0x4f9/0x5e0
        r5l_reclaim_thread+0x69/0x30b

    However, before hanging, the MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING flag will be
    set for sb_flags in r5l_write_super_and_discard_space(). This
    flag will never be cleared because the submit_bio() call never
    returns.

 3) Due to the MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING flag being set, handle_stripe()
    will do no processing on any pending stripes and re-set
    STRIPE_HANDLE. This will cause the raid5d thread to enter an
    infinite loop, constantly trying to handle the same stripes
    stuck in the queue.

    The raid5d thread has a blk_plug that holds a number of bios
    that are also stuck waiting seeing the thread is in a loop
    that never schedules. These bios have been accounted for by
    blk-wbt thus preventing the other threads above from
    continuing when they try to submit bios. --Deadlock.

To fix this, add the same wait_event() that is used in raid5_do_work()
to raid5d() such that if MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING is set, the thread will
schedule and wait until the flag is cleared. The schedule action will
flush the plug which will allow the r5l_reclaim thread to continue,
thus preventing the deadlock.

However, md_check_recovery() calls can also clear MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING
from the same thread and can thus deadlock if the thread is put to
sleep. So avoid waiting if md_check_recovery() is being called in the
loop.

It's not clear when the deadlock was introduced, but the similar
wait_event() call in raid5_do_work() was added in 2017 by this
commit:

    16d997b78b15 ("md/raid5: simplfy delaying of writes while metadata
                   is updated.")

[ Upstream commit e2eed85bc75138a9eeb63863d20f8904ac42a577 ]

When doing degrade/recover tests using the journal a kernel BUG
is hit at drivers/md/raid5.c:4381 in handle_parity_checks5():

  BUG_ON(!test_bit(R5_UPTODATE, &amp;dev-&gt;flags));

This was found to occur because handle_stripe_fill() was skipped
for stripes in the journal due to a condition in that function.
Thus blocks were not fetched and R5_UPTODATE was not set when
the code reached handle_parity_checks5().

To fix this, don't skip handle_stripe_fill() unless the stripe is
for read.

In line 2884, "raid5_release_stripe(sh);" drops the reference to sh and

It can be fixed by moving "raid5_release_stripe(sh);" to the bottom of

commit 617b365872a247480e9dcd50a32c8d1806b21861 upstream.

There's a KASAN warning in raid5_add_disk when running the LVM testsuite.
The warning happens in the test
lvconvert-raid-reshape-linear_to_raid6-single-type.sh. We fix the warning
by verifying that rdev-&gt;saved_raid_disk is within limits.
