commit 133d4527eab8d199a62eee6bd433f0776842df2e upstream.

When we write to a degraded array which has a bitmap, we
make sure the relevant bit in the bitmap remains set when
the write completes (so a 're-add' can quickly rebuilt a
temporarily-missing device).

If, immediately after such a write starts, we incorporate a spare,
commence recovery, and skip over the region where the write is
happening (because the 'needs recovery' flag isn't set yet),
then that write will not get to the new device.

Once the recovery finishes the new device will be trusted, but will
have incorrect data, leading to possible corruption.

We cannot set the 'needs recovery' flag when we start the write as we
do not know easily if the write will be "degraded" or not.  That
depends on details of the particular raid level and particular write
request.

This patch fixes a corruption issue of long standing and so it
suitable for any -stable kernel.  It applied correctly to 3.0 at
least and will minor editing to earlier kernels.

<title>dm thin: update discard_granularity to reflect the thin-pool blocksize</title>

commit 09869de57ed2728ae3c619803932a86cb0e2c4f8 upstream.

DM thinp already checks whether the discard_granularity of the data
device is a factor of the thin-pool block size.  But when using the
dm-thin-pool's discard passdown support, DM thinp was not selecting the
max of the underlying data device's discard_granularity and the
thin-pool's block size.

Update set_discard_limits() to set discard_granularity to the max of
these values.  This enables blkdev_issue_discard() to properly align the
discards that are sent to the DM thin device on a full block boundary.
As such each discard will now cover an entire DM thin-pool block and the
block will be reclaimed.

Commit 8313b8e57f55b15e5b7f7fc5d1630bbf686a9a97
   md: fix problem when adding device to read-only array with bitmap.

added a called to md_reap_sync_thread() which cause a reshape thread
to be interrupted (in particular, it could cause md_thread() to never even
call md_do_sync()).
However it didn't set MD_RECOVERY_INTR so -&gt;finish_reshape() would not
know that the reshape didn't complete.

This only happens when mddev-&gt;ro is set and normally reshape threads
don't run in that situation.  But raid5 and raid10 can start a reshape
thread during "run" is the array is in the middle of a reshape.
They do this even if -&gt;ro is set.

So it is best to set MD_RECOVERY_INTR before abortingg the
sync thread, just in case.

Though it rare for this to trigger a problem it can cause data corruption
because the reshape isn't finished properly.
So it is suitable for any stable which the offending commit was applied to.
(3.2 or later)

If mddev-&gt;ro is set, md_to_sync will (correctly) abort.
However in that case MD_RECOVERY_INTR isn't set.

If a RESHAPE had been requested, then -&gt;finish_reshape() will be
called and it will think the reshape was successful even though
nothing happened.

Normally a resync will not be requested if -&gt;ro is set, but if an
array is stopped while a reshape is on-going, then when the array is
started, the reshape will be restarted.  If the array is also set
read-only at this point, the reshape will instantly appear to success,
resulting in data corruption.

Consequently, this patch is suitable for any -stable kernel.

lockdep complains about a circular locking.  And indeed, we need to
release the lock before calling dm_table_run_md_queue_async().

As such, commit 4cdd2ad ("dm mpath: fix lock order inconsistency in
multipath_ioctl") must also be reverted in addition to fixing the
lock order in the other dm_table_run_md_queue_async() callers.
