Subsystems that want to register CPU hotplug callbacks, as well as perform
initialization for the CPUs that are already online, often do it as shown
below:

	get_online_cpus();

	for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
		init_cpu(cpu);

	register_cpu_notifier(&amp;foobar_cpu_notifier);

	put_online_cpus();

This is wrong, since it is prone to ABBA deadlocks involving the
cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock (when running concurrently
with CPU hotplug operations).

Interestingly, the raid5 code can actually prevent double initialization and
hence can use the following simplified form of callback registration:

	register_cpu_notifier(&amp;foobar_cpu_notifier);

	get_online_cpus();

	for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
		init_cpu(cpu);

	put_online_cpus();

A hotplug operation that occurs between registering the notifier and calling
get_online_cpus(), won't disrupt anything, because the code takes care to
perform the memory allocations only once.

So reorganize the code in raid5 this way to fix the deadlock with callback
registration.

<title>md/raid5: close recently introduced race in stripe_head management.</title>

As release_stripe and __release_stripe decrement -&gt;count and then
manipulate -&gt;lru both under -&gt;device_lock, it is important that
get_active_stripe() increments -&gt;count and clears -&gt;lru also under
-&gt;device_lock.

However we currently list_del_init -&gt;lru under the lock, but increment
the -&gt;count outside the lock.  This can lead to races and list
corruption.

So move the atomic_inc(&amp;sh-&gt;count) up inside the -&gt;device_lock
protected region.

Note that we still increment -&gt;count without device lock in the case
where get_free_stripe() was called, and in fact don't take
-&gt;device_lock at all in that path.
This is safe because if the stripe_head can be found by
get_free_stripe, then the hash lock assures us the no-one else could
possibly be calling release_stripe() at the same time.

<title>md/raid5: fix long-standing problem with bitmap handling on write failure.</title>

<content type='text'>
Before a write starts we set a bit in the write-intent bitmap.
When the write completes we clear that bit if the write was successful
to all devices.  However if the write wasn't fully successful we
should not clear the bit.  If the faulty drive is subsequently
re-added, the fact that the bit is still set ensure that we will
re-write the data that is missing.

This logic is mediated by the STRIPE_DEGRADED flag - we only clear the
bitmap bit when this flag is not set.
Currently we correctly set the flag if a write starts when some
devices are failed or missing.  But we do *not* set the flag if some
device failed during the write attempt.
This is wrong and can result in clearing the bit inappropriately.

So: set the flag when a write fails.

This bug has been present since bitmaps were introduces, so the fix is
suitable for any -stable kernel.

commit 6d183de4077191d1201283a9035ce57a9b05254d
    md/raid5: fix newly-broken locking in get_active_stripe.

simplified a BUG_ON, but removed too much so now it sometimes fires
when it shouldn't.

When the STRIPE_EXPANDING flag is set, the stripe_head might be on a
special list while multiple stripe_heads are collected, or it might
not be on any list, even a 'free' list when the refcount is zero.  As
long as STRIPE_EXPANDING is set, it will be found and added back to a
list eventually.

So both of the BUG_ONs which test for the -&gt;lru being empty or not
need to avoid the case where STRIPE_EXPANDING is set.

The patch which broke this was marked for -stable, so this patch needs
to be applied to any branch that received 6d183de4

commit 5d8c71f9e5fbdd95650be00294d238e27a363b5c
    md: raid5 crash during degradation

Fixed a crash in an overly simplistic way which could leave
R5_WriteError or R5_MadeGood set in the stripe cache for devices
for which it is no longer relevant.
When those devices are removed and spares added the flags are still
set and can cause incorrect behaviour.

commit 14a75d3e07c784c004b4b44b34af996b8e4ac453
    md/raid5: preferentially read from replacement device if possible.

Fixed the same bug if a more effective way, so we can now revert
the original commit.

    md/raid5: preferentially read from replacement device if possible.

Fixed the same bug if a more effective way, so we can now revert
the original commit.

Now that we've got code for raid5/6 stripe awareness, bcache just needs
to know about the stripes and when writing partial stripes is expensive
- we probably don't want to enable this optimization for raid1 or 10,
even though they have stripes. So add a flag to queue_limits.

Needed to bring blk-mq uptodate, since changes have been going in
since for-3.14/core was established.

Fixup merge issues related to the immutable biovec changes.

<title>md/raid5: fix newly-broken locking in get_active_stripe.</title>

commit 566c09c53455d7c4f1 raid5: relieve lock contention in get_active_stripe()

modified the locking in get_active_stripe() reducing the range
protected by the (highly contended) device_lock.
Unfortunately it reduced the range too much opening up some races.

One race can occur if get_priority_stripe runs between the
test on sh-&gt;count and device_lock being taken.
This will mean that sh-&gt;lru is not empty while get_active_stripe
thinks -&gt;count is zero resulting in a 'BUG' firing.

Another race happens if __release_stripe is called immediately
after sh-&gt;count is tested and found to be non-zero.  If STRIPE_HANDLE
is not set, get_active_stripe should increment -&gt;active_stripes
when it increments -&gt;count from 0, but as it didn't think it was 0,
it doesn't.

Extending device_lock to cover the test on sh-&gt;count close these
races.

While we are here, fix the two BUG tests:
 -If count is zero, then lru really must not be empty, or we've
  lock the stripe_head somehow - no other tests are relevant.
 -STRIPE_ON_RELEASE_LIST is completely independent of -&gt;lru so
  testing it is pointless.
