commit 6cd18e711dd8075da9d78cfc1239f912ff28968a upstream.

Because of the peculiar way that md devices are created (automatically
when the device node is opened), a new device can be created and
registered immediately after the
	blk_unregister_region(disk_devt(disk), disk-&gt;minors);
call in del_gendisk().

Therefore it is important that all visible artifacts of the previous
device are removed before this call.  In particular, the 'bdi'.

Since:
commit c4db59d31e39ea067c32163ac961e9c80198fd37
Author: Christoph Hellwig &lt;hch@lst.de&gt;
    fs: don't reassign dirty inodes to default_backing_dev_info

moved the
   device_unregister(bdi-&gt;dev);
call from bdi_unregister() to bdi_destroy() it has been quite easy to
lose a race and have a new (e.g.) "md127" be created after the
blk_unregister_region() call and before bdi_destroy() is ultimately
called by the final 'put_disk', which must come after del_gendisk().

The new device finds that the bdi name is already registered in sysfs
and complains

&gt; [ 9627.630029] WARNING: CPU: 18 PID: 3330 at fs/sysfs/dir.c:31 sysfs_warn_dup+0x5a/0x70()
&gt; [ 9627.630032] sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/virtual/bdi/9:127'

We can fix this by moving the bdi_destroy() call out of
blk_release_queue() (which can happen very late when a refcount
reaches zero) and into blk_cleanup_queue() - which happens exactly when the md
device driver calls it.

Then it is only necessary for md to call blk_cleanup_queue() before
del_gendisk().  As loop.c devices are also created on demand by
opening the device node, we make the same change there.

<title>Revert "dm crypt: fix deadlock when async crypto algorithm returns -EBUSY"</title>

commit c0403ec0bb5a8c5b267fb7e16021bec0b17e4964 upstream.

This reverts Linux 4.1-rc1 commit 0618764cb25f6fa9fb31152995de42a8a0496475.

The problem which that commit attempts to fix actually lies in the
Freescale CAAM crypto driver not dm-crypt.

dm-crypt uses CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG.  This means the the crypto
driver should internally backlog requests which arrive when the queue is
full and process them later.  Until the crypto hw's queue becomes full,
the driver returns -EINPROGRESS.  When the crypto hw's queue if full,
the driver returns -EBUSY, and if CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG is set, is
expected to backlog the request and process it when the hardware has
queue space.  At the point when the driver takes the request from the
backlog and starts processing it, it calls the completion function with
a status of -EINPROGRESS.  The completion function is called (for a
second time, in the case of backlogged requests) with a status/err of 0
when a request is done.

Crypto drivers for hardware without hardware queueing use the helpers,
crypto_init_queue(), crypto_enqueue_request(), crypto_dequeue_request()
and crypto_get_backlog() helpers to implement this behaviour correctly,
while others implement this behaviour without these helpers (ccp, for
example).

dm-crypt (before the patch that needs reverting) uses this API
correctly.  It queues up as many requests as the hw queues will allow
(i.e. as long as it gets back -EINPROGRESS from the request function).
Then, when it sees at least one backlogged request (gets -EBUSY), it
waits till that backlogged request is handled (completion gets called
with -EINPROGRESS), and then continues.  The references to
af_alg_wait_for_completion() and af_alg_complete() in that commit's
commit message are irrelevant because those functions only handle one
request at a time, unlink dm-crypt.

The problem is that the Freescale CAAM driver, which that commit
describes as having being tested with, fails to implement the
backlogging behaviour correctly.  In cam_jr_enqueue(), if the hardware
queue is full, it simply returns -EBUSY without backlogging the request.
What the observed deadlock was is not described in the commit message
but it is obviously the wait_for_completion() in crypto_convert() where
dm-crypto would wait for the completion being called with -EINPROGRESS
in the case of backlogged requests.  This completion will never be
completed due to the bug in the CAAM driver.

Commit 0618764cb25 incorrectly made dm-crypt wait for every request,
even when the driver/hardware queues are not full, which means that
dm-crypt will never see -EBUSY.  This means that that commit will cause
a performance regression on all crypto drivers which implement the API
correctly.

Revert it.  Correct backlog handling should be implemented in the CAAM
driver instead.

Cc'ing stable purely because commit 0618764cb25 did.  If for some reason
a stable@ kernel did pick up commit 0618764cb25 it should get reverted.

commit 0618764cb25f6fa9fb31152995de42a8a0496475 upstream.

I suspect this doesn't show up for most anyone because software
algorithms typically don't have a sense of being too busy.  However,
when working with the Freescale CAAM driver it will return -EBUSY on
occasion under heavy -- which resulted in dm-crypt deadlock.

After checking the logic in some other drivers, the scheme for
crypt_convert() and it's callback, kcryptd_async_done(), were not
correctly laid out to properly handle -EBUSY or -EINPROGRESS.

Fix this by using the completion for both -EBUSY and -EINPROGRESS.  Now
crypt_convert()'s use of completion is comparable to
af_alg_wait_for_completion().  Similarly, kcryptd_async_done() follows
the pattern used in af_alg_complete().

Before this fix dm-crypt would lockup within 1-2 minutes running with
the CAAM driver.  Fix was regression tested against software algorithms
on PPC32 and x86_64, and things seem perfectly happy there as well.

commit 47d68979cc968535cb87f3e5f2e6a3533ea48fbd upstream.

Since commit 20d0189b1012a37d2533a87fb451f7852f2418d1
in v3.14-rc1 RAID0 has performed incorrect calculations
when the chunksize is not a power of 2.

This happens because "sector_div()" modifies its first argument, but
this wasn't taken into account in the patch.

So restore that first arg before re-using the variable.

commit 74672d069b298b03e9f657fd70915e055739882e upstream.

Simon reported the md io stats accounting issue:
"
I'm seeing "iostat -x -k 1" print this after a RAID1 rebuild on 4.0-rc5.
It's not abnormal other than it's 3-disk, with one being SSD (sdc) and
the other two being write-mostly:

"
The cause is commit "18c0b223cf9901727ef3b02da6711ac930b4e5d4" uses the
generic_start_io_acct to account the disk stats rather than the open code,
but it also introduced the increase to .in_flight[rw] which is needless to
md. So we re-use the open code here to fix it.

The cause is commit "18c0b223cf9901727ef3b02da6711ac930b4e5d4" uses the
generic_start_io_acct to account the disk stats rather than the open code,
but it also introduced the increase to .in_flight[rw] which is needless to
md. So we re-use the open code here to fix it.

Commit c4db59d31e39 ("fs: don't reassign dirty inodes to
default_backing_dev_info") exposed DM to a latent race in free_dev() vs
add_disk() in relation to management of the device's minor number.

Fix this by refactoring free_dev() to match cleanup order of the
alloc_dev() error path.  Move cleanup of the gendisk, queue, and bdev
to _before_ the cleanup of the idr managed minor number.

Also, purely due to cleanup that fell out during the free_dev() audit:
- adjust dm_blk_close() to access the gendisk's private_data under
  the _minor_lock spinlock.
- move __dm_destroy()'s dm_get_live_table() call out from under the
  _minor_lock spinlock.

Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1202449

If -&gt;run() fails, it can either free the data structures it
allocated, or leave that task to -&gt;free() which will be called
on failures.

However:
  md.c calls -&gt;free() even if -&gt;private_data is NULL, which
     causes problems in some personalities.
  raid0.c frees the data, but doesn't clear -&gt;private_data,
     which will become a problem when we fix md.c

So better fix both these issues at once.
