[ Upstream commit af9313c32c0fa2a0ac3b113669273833d60cc9de ]

More than one io_mode feature can be requested when creating a dm cache
device (as is: last one wins).  The io_mode selections are incompatible
with one another, we should force them to be selected exclusively.  Add
a counter to check for more than one io_mode selection.

<title>md/raid5: fix data corruption of replacements after originals dropped</title>

[ Upstream commit d63e2fc804c46e50eee825c5d3a7228e07048b47 ]

During raid5 replacement, the stripes can be marked with R5_NeedReplace
flag. Data can be read from being-replaced devices and written to
replacing spares without reading all other devices. (It's 'replace'
mode. s.replacing = 1) If a being-replaced device is dropped, the
replacement progress will be interrupted and resumed with pure recovery
mode. However, existing stripes before being interrupted cannot read
from the dropped device anymore. It prints lots of WARN_ON messages.
And it results in data corruption because existing stripes write
problematic data into its replacement device and update the progress.

\# Erase disks (1MB + 2GB)
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1MB count=2049
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1MB count=2049
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=1MB count=2049
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdd bs=1MB count=2049
mdadm -C /dev/md0 -amd -R -l5 -n3 -x0 /dev/sd[abc] -z 2097152
\# Ensure array stores non-zero data
dd if=/root/data_4GB.iso of=/dev/md0 bs=1MB
\# Start replacement
mdadm /dev/md0 -a /dev/sdd
mdadm /dev/md0 --replace /dev/sda

Then, Hot-plug out /dev/sda during recovery, and wait for recovery done.
echo check &gt; /sys/block/md0/md/sync_action
cat /sys/block/md0/md/mismatch_cnt # it will be greater than 0.

Soon after you hot-plug out /dev/sda, you will see many WARN_ON
messages. The replacement recovery will be interrupted shortly. After
the recovery finishes, it will result in data corruption.

Actually, it's just an unhandled case of replacement. In commit
&lt;f94c0b6658c7&gt; (md/raid5: fix interaction of 'replace' and 'recovery'.),
if a NeedReplace device is not UPTODATE then that is an error, the
commit just simply print WARN_ON but also mark these corrupted stripes
with R5_WantReplace. (it means it's ready for writes.)

To fix this case, we can leverage 'sync and replace' mode mentioned in
commit &lt;9a3e1101b827&gt; (md/raid5: detect and handle replacements during
recovery.). We can add logics to detect and use 'sync and replace' mode
for these stripes.

[ Upstream commit 784c9a29e99eb40b842c29ecf1cc3a79e00fb629 ]

It was reported that softlockups occur when using dm-snapshot ontop of
slow (rbd) storage.  E.g.:

The writeback thread would exit with a lock held when the cache device
is detached via sysfs interface, fix it by releasing the held lock
before exiting the while-loop.

commit bc9e9cf0401f18e33b78d4c8a518661b8346baf7 upstream.

dm-crypt should only increase device limits, it should not decrease them.

This fixes a bug where the user could creates a crypt device with 1024
sector size on the top of scsi device that had 4096 logical block size.
The limit 4096 would be lost and the user could incorrectly send
1024-I/Os to the crypt device.

<title>dm cache metadata: set dirty on all cache blocks after a crash</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 5b1fe7bec8a8d0cc547a22e7ddc2bd59acd67de4 upstream.

Quoting Documentation/device-mapper/cache.txt:

  The 'dirty' state for a cache block changes far too frequently for us
  to keep updating it on the fly.  So we treat it as a hint.  In normal
  operation it will be written when the dm device is suspended.  If the
  system crashes all cache blocks will be assumed dirty when restarted.

This got broken in commit f177940a8091 ("dm cache metadata: switch to
using the new cursor api for loading metadata") in 4.9, which removed
the code that consulted cmd-&gt;clean_when_opened (CLEAN_SHUTDOWN on-disk
flag) when loading cache blocks.  This results in data corruption on an
unclean shutdown with dirty cache blocks on the fast device.  After the
crash those blocks are considered clean and may get evicted from the
cache at any time.  This can be demonstrated by doing a lot of reads
to trigger individual evictions, but uncache is more predictable:

  ### Disable auto-activation in lvm.conf to be able to do uncache in
  ### time (i.e. see uncache doing flushing) when the fix is applied.

commit 5b1fe7bec8a8d0cc547a22e7ddc2bd59acd67de4 upstream.

Quoting Documentation/device-mapper/cache.txt:

  The 'dirty' state for a cache block changes far too frequently for us
  to keep updating it on the fly.  So we treat it as a hint.  In normal
  operation it will be written when the dm device is suspended.  If the
  system crashes all cache blocks will be assumed dirty when restarted.

This got broken in commit f177940a8091 ("dm cache metadata: switch to
using the new cursor api for loading metadata") in 4.9, which removed
the code that consulted cmd-&gt;clean_when_opened (CLEAN_SHUTDOWN on-disk
flag) when loading cache blocks.  This results in data corruption on an
unclean shutdown with dirty cache blocks on the fast device.  After the
crash those blocks are considered clean and may get evicted from the
cache at any time.  This can be demonstrated by doing a lot of reads
to trigger individual evictions, but uncache is more predictable:

  ### Disable auto-activation in lvm.conf to be able to do uncache in
  ### time (i.e. see uncache doing flushing) when the fix is applied.

<title>dm cache metadata: save in-core policy_hint_size to on-disk superblock</title>

commit fd2fa95416188a767a63979296fa3e169a9ef5ec upstream.

policy_hint_size starts as 0 during __write_initial_superblock().  It
isn't until the policy is loaded that policy_hint_size is set in-core
(cmd-&gt;policy_hint_size).  But it never got recorded in the on-disk
superblock because __commit_transaction() didn't deal with transfering
the in-core cmd-&gt;policy_hint_size to the on-disk superblock.

The in-core cmd-&gt;policy_hint_size gets initialized by metadata_open()'s
__begin_transaction_flags() which re-reads all superblock fields.
Because the superblock's policy_hint_size was never properly stored, when
the cache was created, hints_array_available() would always return false
when re-activating a previously created cache.  This means
__load_mappings() always considered the hints invalid and never made use
of the hints (these hints served to optimize).

Another detremental side-effect of this oversight is the cache_check
utility would fail with: "invalid hint width: 0"

<title>dm thin: stop no_space_timeout worker when switching to write-mode</title>

commit 75294442d896f2767be34f75aca7cc2b0d01301f upstream.

Now both check_for_space() and do_no_space_timeout() will read &amp; write
pool-&gt;pf.error_if_no_space.  If these functions run concurrently, as
shown in the following case, the default setting of "queue_if_no_space"
can get lost.

precondition:
    * error_if_no_space = false (aka "queue_if_no_space")
    * pool is in Out-of-Data-Space (OODS) mode
    * no_space_timeout worker has been queued

CPU 0:                          CPU 1:
// delete a thin device
process_delete_mesg()
// check_for_space() invoked by commit()
set_pool_mode(pool, PM_WRITE)
    pool-&gt;pf.error_if_no_space = \
     pt-&gt;requested_pf.error_if_no_space

				// timeout, pool is still in OODS mode
				do_no_space_timeout
				    // "queue_if_no_space" config is lost
				    pool-&gt;pf.error_if_no_space = true
    pool-&gt;pf.mode = new_mode

Fix it by stopping no_space_timeout worker when switching to write mode.

commit c21b16392701543d61e366dca84e15fe7f0cf0cf upstream.

Early alpha processors can't write a byte or short atomically - they
read 8 bytes, modify the byte or two bytes in registers and write back
8 bytes.

The modification of the variable "suspending" may race with
modification of the variable "failed".  Fix this by changing
"suspending" to an int.

<title>md/raid10: fix that replacement cannot complete recovery after reassemble</title>

[ Upstream commit bda3153998f3eb2cafa4a6311971143628eacdbc ]

During assemble, the spare marked for replacement is not checked.
conf-&gt;fullsync cannot be updated to be 1. As a result, recovery will
treat it as a clean array. All recovering sectors are skipped. Original
device is replaced with the not-recovered spare.

mdadm -C /dev/md0 -l10 -n4 -pn2 /dev/loop[0123]
mdadm /dev/md0 -a /dev/loop4
mdadm /dev/md0 --replace /dev/loop0
mdadm -S /dev/md0 # stop array during recovery

mdadm -A /dev/md0 /dev/loop[01234]

After reassemble, you can see recovery go on, but it completes
immediately. In fact, recovery is not actually processed.

To solve this problem, we just add the missing logics for replacment
spares. (In raid1.c or raid5.c, they have already been checked.)
