[ Upstream commit 299f6230bc6d0ccd5f95bb0fb865d80a9c7d5ccc ]

v4.8-rc3 commit 99f3c90d0d ("dm flakey: error READ bios during the
down_interval") overlooked the 'drop_writes' feature, which is meant to
allow reads to be issued rather than errored, during the down_interval.

[ Upstream commit acc9cf8c66c66b2cbbdb4a375537edee72be64df ]

This patch fixes a cachedev registration-time allocation deadlock.
This can deadlock on boot if your initrd auto-registeres bcache devices:

The fifo code in upstream bcache can't use the last element in the buffer,
which was the cause of the bug: if you asked for a power of two size,
it'd give you a fifo that could hold one less than what you asked for
rather than allocating a buffer twice as big.

<title>bcache: register_bcache(): call blkdev_put() when cache_alloc() fails</title>

[ Upstream commit d9dc1702b297ec4a6bb9c0326a70641b322ba886 ]

register_cache() is supposed to return an error string on error so that
register_bcache() will will blkdev_put and cleanup other user counters,
but it does not set 'char *err' when cache_alloc() fails (eg, due to
memory pressure) and thus register_bcache() performs no cleanup.

register_bcache() &lt;----------\  &lt;- no jump to err_close, no blkdev_put()
   |                         |
   +-&gt;register_cache()       |  &lt;- fails to set char *err
         |                   |
         +-&gt;cache_alloc() ---/  &lt;- returns error

This patch sets `char *err` for this failure case so that register_cache()
will cause register_bcache() to correctly jump to err_close and do
cleanup.  This was tested under OOM conditions that triggered the bug.

[ Upstream commit 99f3c90d0d85708e7401a81ce3314e50bf7f2819 ]

When the corrupt_bio_byte feature was introduced it caused READ bios to
no longer be errored with -EIO during the down_interval.  This had to do
with the complexity of needing to submit READs if the corrupt_bio_byte
feature was used.

Fix it so READ bios are properly errored with -EIO; doing so early in
flakey_map() as long as there isn't a match for the corrupt_bio_byte
feature.

blk_queue_split marks bio unmergeable, which makes sense for normal bio.
But if dispatching the bio to underlayer disk, the blk_queue_split
checks are invalid, hence it's possible the bio becomes mergeable.

<title>md: multipath: don't hardcopy bio in .make_request path</title>

[ Upstream commit fafcde3ac1a418688a734365203a12483b83907a ]

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.

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.

[ Upstream commit f8b11260a445169989d01df75d35af0f56178f95 ]

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.

[ Upstream commit 9b299728ed777428b3908ac72ace5f8f84b97789 ]

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

Fixes this error:

[ Upstream commit 07cc6ef8edc47f8b4fc1e276d31127a0a5863d4d ]

The bch_writeback_thread might BUG_ON in read_dirty() if
dc-&gt;sb==BDEV_STATE_DIRTY and bch_sectors_dirty_init has not yet completed
its related initialization.  This patch downs the dc-&gt;writeback_lock until
after initialization is complete, thus preventing bch_writeback_thread
from proceeding prematurely.

[ Upstream commit e7597e69dec59b65c5525db1626b9d34afdfa678 ]

'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.
