commit 2871c69e025e8bc507651d5a9cf81a8a7da9d24b upstream.

Commit 4c7e309340ff ("dm btree remove: fix bug in redistribute3") wasn't
a complete fix for redistribute3().

The redistribute3 function takes 3 btree nodes and shares out the entries
evenly between them.  If the three nodes in total contained
(MAX_ENTRIES * 3) - 1 entries between them then this was erroneously getting
rebalanced as (MAX_ENTRIES - 1) on the left and right, and (MAX_ENTRIES + 1) in
the center.

Fix this issue by being more careful about calculating the target number
of entries for the left and right nodes.

Unit tested in userspace using this program:

commit b0dc3c8bc157c60b1d470163882be8c13e1950af upstream.

When using nested btrees, the top leaves of the top levels contain
block addresses for the root of the next tree down.  If we shadow a
shared leaf node the leaf values (sub tree roots) should be incremented
accordingly.

This is only an issue if there is metadata sharing in the top levels.
Which only occurs if metadata snapshots are being used (as is possible
with dm-thinp).  And could result in a block from the thinp metadata
snap being reused early, thus corrupting the thinp metadata snap.

commit 423f04d63cf421ea436bcc5be02543d549ce4b28 upstream.

raid1_end_read_request() assumes that the In_sync bits are consistent
with the -&gt;degaded count.
raid1_spare_active updates the In_sync bit before the -&gt;degraded count
and so exposes an inconsistency, as does error()
So extend the spinlock in raid1_spare_active() and error() to hide those
inconsistencies.

This should probably be part of
  Commit: 34cab6f42003 ("md/raid1: fix test for 'was read error from
  last working device'.")
as it addresses the same issue.  It fixes the same bug and should go
to -stable for same reasons.

commit 34cab6f42003cb06f48f86a86652984dec338ae9 upstream.

When we get a read error from the last working device, we don't
try to repair it, and don't fail the device.  We simple report a
read error to the caller.

However the current test for 'is this the last working device' is
wrong.
When there is only one fully working device, it assumes that a
non-faulty device is that device.  However a spare which is rebuilding
would be non-faulty but so not the only working device.

So change the test from "!Faulty" to "In_sync".  If -&gt;degraded says
there is only one fully working device and this device is in_sync,
this must be the one.

This bug has existed since we allowed read_balance to read from
a recovering spare in v3.0

The 'event_work' worker used by dm-raid may still be running
when the array is stopped.  This can result in an oops.

So flush the workqueue on which it is run after detaching

commit 5eff3c439d3478ba9e8ba5f8c0aaf6e6fadb6e58 upstream.

md_stop() would stop an array, but not free various attached
data structures.
For internal arrays, these are freed later in do_md_stop() or
mddev_put(), but they don't apply for dm-raid arrays.
So get md_stop() to free them, and only all it from dm-raid.
For internal arrays we now call __md_stop.

Given the pool's cell_sort_array holds 8192 pointers it triggers an
order 5 allocation via kmalloc.  This order 5 allocation is prone to
failure as system memory gets more fragmented over time.

Fix this by allocating the cell_sort_array using vmalloc.

<title>md: use kzalloc() when bitmap is disabled</title>

commit b6878d9e03043695dbf3fa1caa6dfc09db225b16 upstream.

In drivers/md/md.c get_bitmap_file() uses kmalloc() for creating a
mdu_bitmap_file_t called "file".

5769         file = kmalloc(sizeof(*file), GFP_NOIO);
5770         if (!file)
5771                 return -ENOMEM;

This structure is copied to user space at the end of the function.

5786         if (err == 0 &amp;&amp;
5787             copy_to_user(arg, file, sizeof(*file)))
5788                 err = -EFAULT

But if bitmap is disabled only the first byte of "file" is initialized
with zero, so it's possible to read some bytes (up to 4095) of kernel
space memory from user space. This is an information leak.

5775         /* bitmap disabled, zero the first byte and copy out */
5776         if (!mddev-&gt;bitmap_info.file)
5777                 file-&gt;pathname[0] = '\0';

In drivers/md/md.c get_bitmap_file() uses kmalloc() for creating a
mdu_bitmap_file_t called "file".

5769         file = kmalloc(sizeof(*file), GFP_NOIO);
5770         if (!file)
5771                 return -ENOMEM;

This structure is copied to user space at the end of the function.

5786         if (err == 0 &amp;&amp;
5787             copy_to_user(arg, file, sizeof(*file)))
5788                 err = -EFAULT

But if bitmap is disabled only the first byte of "file" is initialized
with zero, so it's possible to read some bytes (up to 4095) of kernel
space memory from user space. This is an information leak.

5775         /* bitmap disabled, zero the first byte and copy out */
5776         if (!mddev-&gt;bitmap_info.file)
5777                 file-&gt;pathname[0] = '\0';
