commit b0239faaf87c38bb419c9264bf20817438ddc3a9 upstream.

If CONFIG_DM_DEBUG_SPACE_MAPS is enabled and memory is fragmented and a
sufficiently-large metadata device is used in a thin pool then the space
map checker will fail to allocate the memory it requires.

Switch from kmalloc to vmalloc to allow larger virtually contiguous
allocations for the space map checker's internal count arrays.

commit 62662303e7f590fdfbb0070ab820a0ad4267c119 upstream.

If CONFIG_DM_DEBUG_SPACE_MAPS is enabled and dm_sm_checker_create()
fails, dm_tm_create_internal() would still return success even though it
cleaned up all resources it was supposed to have created.  This will
lead to a kernel crash:

general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC

Fix the space map checker code to return an appropriate ERR_PTR and have
dm_sm_disk_create() and dm_tm_create_internal() check for it with
IS_ERR.

commit 055d3747dbf00ce85c6872ecca4d466638e80c22 upstream.

commit 58c54fcca3bac5bf9290cfed31c76e4c4bfbabaf
     md/raid10: handle further errors during fix_read_error better.

in 3.1 added "r10_sync_page_io" which takes an IO size in sectors.
But we were passing the IO size in bytes!!!
This resulting in bio_add_page failing, and empty request being sent
down, and a consequent BUG_ON in scsi_lib.

[fix missing space in error message at same time]

This fix is suitable for 3.1.y and later.

commit 1850753d2e6d9ca7856581ca5d3cf09521e6a5d7 upstream.

In ops_run_io(), the call to md_wait_for_blocked_rdev will decrement
nr_pending so we lose the reference we hold on the rdev.
So atomic_inc it first to maintain the reference.

This bug was introduced by commit  73e92e51b7969ef5477d
    md/raid5.  Don't write to known bad block on doubtful devices.

which appeared in 3.0, so patch is suitable for stable kernels since
then.

commit 6c0544e255dd6582a9899572e120fb55d9f672a4 upstream.

In chunk_aligned_read() we are adding data_offset before calling
is_badblock.  But is_badblock also adds data_offset, so that is bad.

So move the addition of data_offset to after the call to
is_badblock.

This bug was introduced by commit 31c176ecdf3563140e639
     md/raid5: avoid reading from known bad blocks.
which first appeared in 3.0.  So that patch is suitable for any
-stable kernel from 3.0.y onwards.  However it will need minor
revision for most of those (as the comment didn't appear until
recently).

commit fc448a18ae6219af9a73257b1fbcd009efab4a81 upstream.

If a RAID10 has an odd number of chunks - as might happen when there
are an odd number of devices - the last chunk has no pair and so is
not mirrored.  We don't store data there, but when recovering the last
device in an array we retry to recover that last chunk from a
non-existent location.  This results in an error, and the recovery
aborts.

When we get to that last chunk we should just stop - there is nothing
more to do anyway.

This bug has been present since the introduction of RAID10, so the
patch is appropriate for any -stable kernel.

A cell's hlist_del() must be accompanied by a mempool_free().
Use __cell_release() to do this, like before.

commit b5e1b8cee7ad58a15d2fa79bcd7946acb592602d upstream.

A flush request is usually issued in transaction commit code path, so
using GFP_KERNEL to allocate memory for flush request bio falls into
the classic deadlock issue.

This is suitable for any -stable kernel to which it applies as it
avoids a possible deadlock.

commit 0d9f4f135eb6dea06bdcb7065b1e4ff78274a5e9 upstream.

Use del_timer_sync to remove timer before mddev_suspend finishes.

We don't want a timer going off after an mddev_suspend is called.  This is
especially true with device-mapper, since it can call the destructor function
immediately following a suspend.  This results in the removal (kfree) of the
structures upon which the timer depends - resulting in a very ugly panic.
Therefore, we add a del_timer_sync to mddev_suspend to prevent this.
