commit fafcde3ac1a418688a734365203a12483b83907a upstream.

Inside multipath_make_request(), multipath maps the incoming
bio into low level device's bio, but it is totally wrong to
copy the bio into mapped bio via '*mapped_bio = *bio'. For
example, .__bi_remaining is kept in the copy, especially if
the incoming bio is chained to via bio splitting, so .bi_end_io
can't be called for the mapped bio at all in the completing path
in this kind of situation.

This patch fixes the issue by using clone style.

<title>bcache: fix cache_set_flush() NULL pointer dereference on OOM</title>

commit f8b11260a445169989d01df75d35af0f56178f95 upstream.

When bch_cache_set_alloc() fails to kzalloc the cache_set, the
asyncronous closure handling tries to dereference a cache_set that
hadn't yet been allocated inside of cache_set_flush() which is called
by __cache_set_unregister() during cleanup.  This appears to happen only
during an OOM condition on bcache_register.

commit 9b299728ed777428b3908ac72ace5f8f84b97789 upstream.

Fix null pointer dereference by changing register_cache() to return an int
instead of being void.  This allows it to return -ENOMEM or -ENODEV and
enables upper layers to handle the OOM case without NULL pointer issues.

See this thread:
  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.bcache.devel/3521

commit e7597e69dec59b65c5525db1626b9d34afdfa678 upstream.

'max_discard_sectors' is in sectors, while 'stripe' is in bytes.

This fixes the problem where DISCARD would get disabled on some larger
RAID5 configurations (6 or more drives in my testing), while it worked
as expected with smaller configurations.

<title>dm snapshot: fix hung bios when copy error occurs</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 385277bfb57faac44e92497104ba542cdd82d5fe upstream.

When there is an error copying a chunk dm-snapshot can incorrectly hold
associated bios indefinitely, resulting in hung IO.

The function copy_callback sets pe-&gt;error if there was error copying the
chunk, and then calls complete_exception.  complete_exception calls
pending_complete on error, otherwise it calls commit_exception with
commit_callback (and commit_callback calls complete_exception).

The persistent exception store (dm-snap-persistent.c) assumes that calls
to prepare_exception and commit_exception are paired.
persistent_prepare_exception increases ps-&gt;pending_count and
persistent_commit_exception decreases it.

If there is a copy error, persistent_prepare_exception is called but
persistent_commit_exception is not.  This results in the variable
ps-&gt;pending_count never returning to zero and that causes some pending
exceptions (and their associated bios) to be held forever.

Fix this by unconditionally calling commit_exception regardless of
whether the copy was successful.  A new "valid" parameter is added to
commit_exception -- when the copy fails this parameter is set to zero so
that the chunk that failed to copy (and all following chunks) is not
recorded in the snapshot store.  Also, remove commit_callback now that
it is merely a wrapper around pending_complete.

<title>bcache: Change refill_dirty() to always scan entire disk if necessary</title>

commit 627ccd20b4ad3ba836472468208e2ac4dfadbf03 upstream.

Previously, it would only scan the entire disk if it was starting from
the very start of the disk - i.e. if the previous scan got to the end.

This was broken by refill_full_stripes(), which updates last_scanned so
that refill_dirty was never triggering the searched_from_start path.

But if we change refill_dirty() to always scan the entire disk if
necessary, regardless of what last_scanned was, the code gets cleaner
and we fix that bug too.

commit 8d16ce540c94c9d366eb36fc91b7154d92d6397b upstream.

Added a safeguard in the shutdown case. At least while not being
attached it is also possible to trigger a kernel bug by writing into
writeback_running. This change  adds the same check before trying to
wake up the thread for that case.

<title>bcache: allows use of register in udev to avoid "device_busy" error.</title>

commit d7076f21629f8f329bca4a44dc408d94670f49e2 upstream.

Allows to use register, not register_quiet in udev to avoid "device_busy" error.
The initial patch proposed at https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/26/549 by Gabriel de Perthuis
&lt;g2p.code@gmail.com&gt; does not unlock the mutex and hangs the kernel.

See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.bcache.devel/2594 for the discussion.

commit d7076f21629f8f329bca4a44dc408d94670f49e2 upstream.

Allows to use register, not register_quiet in udev to avoid "device_busy" error.
The initial patch proposed at https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/26/549 by Gabriel de Perthuis
&lt;g2p.code@gmail.com&gt; does not unlock the mutex and hangs the kernel.

See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.bcache.devel/2594 for the discussion.
