commit 681ab4696062f5aa939c9e04d058732306a97176 upstream.

This was introduced with 9e882242c6193ae6f416f2d8d8db0d9126bd996b
which changed the return value of submit_bio_wait() to return != 0 on
error, but didn't update the caller accordingly.

commit 4dcb8b57df3593dcb20481d9d6cf79d1dc1534be upstream.

btree_split_beneath()'s error path had an outstanding FIXME that speaks
directly to the potential for _not_ cleaning up a previously allocated
bufio-backed block.

Fix this by releasing the previously allocated bufio block using
unlock_block().

commit 2871c69e025e8bc507651d5a9cf81a8a7da9d24b upstream.

Commit 4c7e309340ff ("dm btree remove: fix bug in redistribute3") wasn't
a complete fix for redistribute3().

The redistribute3 function takes 3 btree nodes and shares out the entries
evenly between them.  If the three nodes in total contained
(MAX_ENTRIES * 3) - 1 entries between them then this was erroneously getting
rebalanced as (MAX_ENTRIES - 1) on the left and right, and (MAX_ENTRIES + 1) in
the center.

Fix this issue by being more careful about calculating the target number
of entries for the left and right nodes.

Unit tested in userspace using this program:

<title>dm cache: fix NULL pointer when switching from cleaner policy</title>

commit 2bffa1503c5c06192eb1459180fac4416575a966 upstream.

The cleaner policy doesn't make use of the per cache block hint space in
the metadata (unlike the other policies).  When switching from the
cleaner policy to mq or smq a NULL pointer crash (in dm_tm_new_block)
was observed.  The crash was caused by bugs in dm-cache-metadata.c
when trying to skip creation of the hint btree.

The minimal fix is to change hint size for the cleaner policy to 4 bytes
(only hint size supported).

Commit 3a0f9aaee028 ("dm raid: round region_size to power of two")
intended to make sure that the default region size is a power of two.
However, the logic in that commit is incorrect and sets the variable
region_size to 0 or 1, depending on whether min_region_size is a power
of two.

Fix this logic, using roundup_pow_of_two(), so that region_size is
properly rounded up to the next power of two.

commit b0dc3c8bc157c60b1d470163882be8c13e1950af upstream.

When using nested btrees, the top leaves of the top levels contain
block addresses for the root of the next tree down.  If we shadow a
shared leaf node the leaf values (sub tree roots) should be incremented
accordingly.

This is only an issue if there is metadata sharing in the top levels.
Which only occurs if metadata snapshots are being used (as is possible
with dm-thinp).  And could result in a block from the thinp metadata
snap being reused early, thus corrupting the thinp metadata snap.

commit ee5d004fd0591536a061451eba2b187092e9127c upstream.

The 'event_work' worker used by dm-raid may still be running
when the array is stopped.  This can result in an oops.

So flush the workqueue on which it is run after detaching
and before destroying the device.

commit 299b0685e31c9f3dcc2d58ee3beca761a40b44b3 upstream.

'reshape_position' tracks where in the reshape we have reached.
'reshape_safe' tracks where in the reshape we have safely recorded
in the metadata.

These are compared to determine when to update the metadata.
So it is important that reshape_safe is initialised properly.
Currently it isn't.  When starting a reshape from the beginning
it usually has the correct value by luck.  But when reducing the
number of devices in a RAID10, it has the wrong value and this leads
to the metadata not being updated correctly.
This can lead to corruption if the reshape is not allowed to complete.

This patch is suitable for any -stable kernel which supports RAID10
reshape, which is 3.5 and later.
