[ Upstream commit 3fb632e40d7667d8bedfabc28850ac06d5493f54 ]

The sb-&gt;super_offset should be big-endian, but the rdev-&gt;sb_start is in
host byte order, so fix this by adding cpu_to_le64.

[ Upstream commit 816b0acf3deb6d6be5d0519b286fdd4bafade905 ]

If first_bad == this_sector when we get the WriteMostly disk
in read_balance(), valid disk will be returned with zero
max_sectors. It'll lead to a dead loop in make_request(), and
OOM will happen because of endless allocation of struct bio.

Since we can't get data from this disk in this case, so
continue for another disk.

<title>dm bufio: make the parameter "retain_bytes" unsigned long</title>

[ Upstream commit 13840d38016203f0095cd547b90352812d24b787 ]

Change the type of the parameter "retain_bytes" from unsigned to
unsigned long, so that on 64-bit machines the user can set more than
4GiB of data to be retained.

Also, change the type of the variable "count" in the function
"__evict_old_buffers" to unsigned long.  The assignment
"count = c-&gt;n_buffers[LIST_CLEAN] + c-&gt;n_buffers[LIST_DIRTY];"
could result in unsigned long to unsigned overflow and that could result
in buffers not being freed when they should.

While at it, avoid division in get_retain_buffers().  Division is slow,
we can change it to shift because we have precalculated the log2 of
block size.

[ Upstream commit 390020ad2af9ca04844c4f3b1f299ad8746d84c8 ]

dm-bufio checks a watermark when it allocates a new buffer in
__bufio_new().  However, it doesn't check the watermark when the user
changes /sys/module/dm_bufio/parameters/max_cache_size_bytes.

This may result in a problem - if the watermark is high enough so that
all possible buffers are allocated and if the user lowers the value of
"max_cache_size_bytes", the watermark will never be checked against the
new value because no new buffer would be allocated.

To fix this, change __evict_old_buffers() so that it checks the
watermark.  __evict_old_buffers() is called every 30 seconds, so if the
user reduces "max_cache_size_bytes", dm-bufio will react to this change
within 30 seconds and decrease memory consumption.

[ Upstream commit 1b0fb5a5b2dc0dddcfa575060441a7176ba7ac37 ]

__get_memory_limit() tests if dm_bufio_cache_size changed and calls
__cache_size_refresh() if it did.  It takes dm_bufio_clients_lock while
it already holds the client lock.  However, lock ordering is violated
because in cleanup_old_buffers() dm_bufio_clients_lock is taken before
the client lock.

This results in a possible deadlock and lockdep engine warning.

Fix this deadlock by changing mutex_lock() to mutex_trylock().  If the
lock can't be taken, it will be re-checked next time when a new buffer
is allocated.

Also add "unlikely" to the if condition, so that the optimizer assumes
that the condition is false.

When calling a dm ioctl that doesn't process any data
(IOCTL_FLAGS_NO_PARAMS), the contents of the data field in struct
dm_ioctl are left initialized.  Current code is incorrectly extending
the size of data copied back to user, causing the contents of kernel
stack to be leaked to user.  Fix by only copying contents before data
and allow the functions processing the ioctl to override.

When committing era metadata to disk, it doesn't always save the latest
spacemap metadata root in superblock. Due to this, metadata is getting
corrupted sometimes when reopening the device. The correct order of update
should be, pre-commit (shadows spacemap root), save the spacemap root
(newly shadowed block) to in-core superblock and then the final commit.

dm_btree_find_lowest_key() is giving incorrect results.  find_key()
traverses the btree correctly for finding the highest key, but there is
an error in the way it traverses the btree for retrieving the lowest
key.  dm_btree_find_lowest_key() fetches the first key of the rightmost
block of the btree instead of fetching the first key from the leftmost
block.

Fix this by conditionally passing the correct parameter to value64()
