commit a685557fbbc3122ed11e8ad3fa63a11ebc5de8c3 upstream.

Discards issued to a DM thin device can complete to userspace (via
fstrim) _before_ the metadata changes associated with the discards is
reflected in the thinp superblock (e.g. free blocks).  As such, if a
user constructs a test that loops repeatedly over these steps, block
allocation can fail due to discards not having completed yet:
1) fill thin device via filesystem file
2) remove file
3) fstrim

From initial report, here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2018-April/msg00022.html

"The root cause of this issue is that dm-thin will first remove
mapping and increase corresponding blocks' reference count to prevent
them from being reused before DISCARD bios get processed by the
underlying layers. However. increasing blocks' reference count could
also increase the nr_allocated_this_transaction in struct sm_disk
which makes smd-&gt;old_ll.nr_allocated +
smd-&gt;nr_allocated_this_transaction bigger than smd-&gt;old_ll.nr_blocks.
In this case, alloc_data_block() will never commit metadata to reset
the begin pointer of struct sm_disk, because sm_disk_get_nr_free()
always return an underflow value."

While there is room for improvement to the space-map accounting that
thinp is making use of: the reality is this test is inherently racey and
will result in the previous iteration's fstrim's discard(s) completing
vs concurrent block allocation, via dd, in the next iteration of the
loop.

No amount of space map accounting improvements will be able to allow
user's to use a block before a discard of that block has completed.

So the best we can really do is allow DM thinp to gracefully handle such
aggressive use of all the pool's data by degrading the pool into
out-of-data-space (OODS) mode.  We _should_ get that behaviour already
(if space map accounting didn't falsely cause alloc_data_block() to
believe free space was available).. but short of that we handle the
current reality that dm_pool_alloc_data_block() can return -ENOSPC.

commit f21c601a2bb319ec19eb4562eadc7797d90fd90e upstream.

Use of bio_clone_bioset() is inefficient if there is no need to clone
the original bio's bio_vec array.  Best to use the bio_clone_fast()
variant.  Also, just using bio_advance() is only part of what is needed
to properly setup the clone -- it doesn't account for the various
bio_integrity() related work that also needs to be performed (see
bio_split).

Address both of these issues by switching from bio_clone_bioset() to
bio_split().

Fixes: 18a25da8 ("dm: ensure bio submission follows a depth-first tree walk")

<title>md: fix two problems with setting the "re-add" device state.</title>

commit 011abdc9df559ec75779bb7c53a744c69b2a94c6 upstream.

If "re-add" is written to the "state" file for a device
which is faulty, this has an effect similar to removing
and re-adding the device.  It should take up the
same slot in the array that it previously had, and
an accelerated (e.g. bitmap-based) rebuild should happen.

The slot that "it previously had" is determined by
rdev-&gt;saved_raid_disk.
However this is not set when a device fails (only when a device
is added), and it is cleared when resync completes.
This means that "re-add" will normally work once, but may not work a
second time.

This patch includes two fixes.
1/ when a device fails, record the -&gt;raid_disk value in
    -&gt;saved_raid_disk before clearing -&gt;raid_disk
2/ when "re-add" is written to a device for which
    -&gt;saved_raid_disk is not set, fail.

I think this is suitable for stable as it can
cause re-adding a device to be forced to do a full
resync which takes a lot longer and so puts data at
more risk.

Commit 539d39eb2708 ("bcache: fix wrong return value in bch_debug_init()")
returns the return value of debugfs_create_dir() to bcache_init(). When
CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=n, bch_debug_init() always returns 1 and makes
bcache_init() failedi.

This patch makes bch_debug_init() always returns 0 if CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=n,
so bcache can continue to work for the kernels which don't have debugfs
enanbled.

Changelog:
v4: Add Acked-by from Kent Overstreet.
v3: Use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DEBUG_FS) to replace #ifdef DEBUG_FS.
v2: Remove a warning information
v1: Initial version.

On the quest to remove all VLAs from the kernel[1], this avoids VLAs
in dm-raid1.c by just using the maximum size for the stack arrays.
The nr_mirrors value was already capped at 9, so this makes it a trivial
adjustment to the array sizes.

<title>bcache: use pr_info() to inform duplicated CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE set</title>

It is possible that multiple I/O requests hits on failed cache device or
backing device, therefore it is quite common that CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE is
set already when a task tries to set the bit from bch_cache_set_error().
Currently the message "CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE already set" is printed by
pr_warn(), which might mislead users to think a serious fault happens in
source code.

This patch uses pr_info() to print the information in such situation,
avoid extra worries. This information is helpful to understand bcache
behavior in cache device failures, so I still keep them in source code.

Commit 7e027ca4b534b ("bcache: add stop_when_cache_set_failed option to
backing device") adds stop_when_cache_set_failed option and stops bcache
device if stop_when_cache_set_failed is auto and there is dirty data on
broken cache device. There might exists a small time gap that the cache
set is released and set to NULL but bcache device is not released yet
(because they are released in parallel). During this time gap, dc-&gt;c is
NULL so CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE won't be checked, and dc-&gt;io_disable is still
false, so new coming I/O requests will be accepted and directly go into
backing device as no cache set attached to. If there is dirty data on
cache device, this behavior may introduce potential inconsistent data.

This patch sets dc-&gt;io_disable to true before calling bcache_device_stop()
to make sure the backing device will reject new coming I/O request as
well, so even in the small time gap no I/O will directly go into backing
device to corrupt data consistency.
