[ Upstream commit 1217e1d1999ed6c9c1e1b1acae0a74ab70464ae2 ]

mddev-&gt;curr_resync usually records where the current resync is up to,
but during the starting phase it has some "magic" values.

 1 - means that the array is trying to start a resync, but has yielded
     to another array which shares physical devices, and also needs to
     start a resync
 2 - means the array is trying to start resync, but has found another
     array which shares physical devices and has already started resync.

 3 - means that resync has commensed, but it is possible that nothing
     has actually been resynced yet.

It is important that this value not be visible to user-space and
particularly that it doesn't get written to the metadata, as the
resync or recovery checkpoint.  In part, this is because it may be
slightly higher than the correct value, though this is very rare.
In part, because it is not a multiple of 4K, and some devices only
support 4K aligned accesses.

There are two places where this value is propagates into either
-&gt;curr_resync_completed or -&gt;recovery_cp or -&gt;recovery_offset.
These currently avoid the propagation of values 1 and 3, but will
allow 3 to leak through.

Change them to only propagate the value if it is &gt; 3.

As this can cause an array to fail, the patch is suitable for -stable.

[ Upstream commit 5ed1df2eacc0ba92c8c7e2499c97594b5ef928a8 ]

There can be a small window between the moment that recovery
actually writes the last block and the time when various sysfs
and /proc/mdstat attributes report that it has finished.
During this time, 'sync_completed' can have the wrong value.
This can confuse monitoring software.

So:
 - don't set curr_resync_completed beyond the end of the devices,
 - set it correctly when resync/recovery has completed.

[ Upstream commit dafa724bf582181d9a7d54f5cb4ca0bf8ef29269 ]

dm_get_target_type() was previously called so any error returned from
dm_table_add_target() must first call dm_put_target_type().  Otherwise
the DM target module's reference count will leak and the associated
kernel module will be unable to be removed.

Also, leverage the fact that r is already -EINVAL and remove an extra
newline.

[ Upstream commit 5d0be84ec0cacfc7a6d6ea548afdd07d481324cd ]

If crypt_alloc_tfms() had to allocate multiple tfms and it failed before
the last allocation, then it would call crypt_free_tfms() and could free
pointers from uninitialized memory -- due to the crypt_free_tfms() check
for non-zero cc-&gt;tfms[i].  Fix by allocating zeroed memory.

[ Upstream commit 4e870e948fbabf62b78e8410f04c67703e7c816b ]

When dm-crypt processes writes, it allocates a new bio in
crypt_alloc_buffer().  The bio is allocated from a bio set and it can
have at most BIO_MAX_PAGES vector entries, however the incoming bio can be
larger (e.g. if it was allocated by bcache).  If the incoming bio is
larger, bio_alloc_bioset() fails and an error is returned.

To avoid the error, we test for a too large bio in the function
crypt_map() and use dm_accept_partial_bio() to split the bio.
dm_accept_partial_bio() trims the current bio to the desired size and
asks DM core to send another bio with the rest of the data.

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.

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.

<title>dm flakey: error READ bios during the down_interval</title>

[ 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.

[ Upstream commit 9c573de3283af007ea11c17bde1e4568d9417328 ]

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.

In the reported bug, this bug causes trim against raid0 performance slash
