commit 2bffa1503c5c06192eb1459180fac4416575a966 upstream.

The cleaner policy doesn't make use of the per cache block hint space in
the metadata (unlike the other policies).  When switching from the
cleaner policy to mq or smq a NULL pointer crash (in dm_tm_new_block)
was observed.  The crash was caused by bugs in dm-cache-metadata.c
when trying to skip creation of the hint btree.

The minimal fix is to change hint size for the cleaner policy to 4 bytes
(only hint size supported).

<title>dm: fix AB-BA deadlock in __dm_destroy()</title>

commit 2a708cff93f1845b9239bc7d6310aef54e716c6a upstream.

__dm_destroy() takes io_barrier SRCU lock (dm_get_live_table) and
suspend_lock in reverse order.  Doing so can cause AB-BA deadlock:

  __dm_destroy                    dm_swap_table
  ---------------------------------------------------
                                  mutex_lock(suspend_lock)
  dm_get_live_table()
    srcu_read_lock(io_barrier)
                                  dm_sync_table()
                                    synchronize_srcu(io_barrier)
                                      .. waiting for dm_put_live_table()
  mutex_lock(suspend_lock)
    .. waiting for suspend_lock

Fix this by taking the locks in proper order.

commit da6fb7a9e5bd6f04f7e15070f630bdf1ea502841 upstream.

Passing -1 to bitmap_storage_alloc() causes page-&gt;index to be set to

So only pass -&gt;cluster_slot if mddev_is_clustered().

commit 042745ee53a0a7c1f5aff191a4a24213c6dcfb52 upstream.

Commit 3a0f9aaee028 ("dm raid: round region_size to power of two")
intended to make sure that the default region size is a power of two.
However, the logic in that commit is incorrect and sets the variable
region_size to 0 or 1, depending on whether min_region_size is a power
of two.

Fix this logic, using roundup_pow_of_two(), so that region_size is
properly rounded up to the next power of two.

commit 199dc6ed5179251fa6158a461499c24bdd99c836 upstream.

When a (e.g.) RAID5 array is reshaped to RAID0, the updating
of queue parameters (e.g. max number of sectors per bio) is
done in the wrong place.
It should be part of -&gt;run, but it is actually part of -&gt;takeover.
This means it happens before level_store() calls:

	blk_set_stacking_limits(&amp;mddev-&gt;queue-&gt;limits);

and so it ineffective.  This can lead to errors from underlying
devices.

So move all the relevant settings out of create_stripe_zones()
and into raid0_run().

As this can lead to a bug-on it is suitable for any -stable
kernel which supports reshape to RAID0.  So 2.6.35 or later.
As the bug has been present for five years there is no urgency,
so no need to rush into -stable.

<title>dm crypt: constrain crypt device's max_segment_size to PAGE_SIZE</title>

commit 586b286b110e94eb31840ac5afc0c24e0881fe34 upstream.

Setting the dm-crypt device's max_segment_size to PAGE_SIZE is an
unfortunate constraint that is required to avoid the potential for
exceeding dm-crypt's underlying device's max_segments limits -- due to
crypt_alloc_buffer() possibly allocating pages for the encryption bio
that are not as physically contiguous as the original bio.

It is interesting to note that this problem was already fixed back in
2007 via commit 91e106259 ("dm crypt: use bio_add_page").  But Linux 4.0
commit cf2f1abfb ("dm crypt: don't allocate pages for a partial
request") regressed dm-crypt back to _not_ using bio_add_page().  But
given dm-crypt's cpu parallelization changes all depend on commit
cf2f1abfb's abandoning of the more complex io fragments processing that
dm-crypt previously had we cannot easily go back to using
bio_add_page().

So all said the cleanest way to resolve this issue is to fix dm-crypt to
properly constrain the original bios entering dm-crypt so the encryption
bios that dm-crypt generates from the original bios are always
compatible with the underlying device's max_segments queue limits.

It should be noted that technically Linux 4.3 does _not_ need this fix
because of the block core's new late bio-splitting capability.  But, it
is reasoned, there is little to be gained by having the block core split
the encrypted bio that is composed of PAGE_SIZE segments.  That said, in
the future we may revert this change.

commit 9153df7405ae04c1b0466de720e0a685cfea1a3a upstream.

There were two cases where dm_cell_visit_release() was being called,
which removes the cell from the prison's rbtree, but the callers didn't
also return the cell to the mempool.  Fix this by having them call
free_prison_cell().

This leak manifested as the 'kmalloc-96' slab growing until OOM.

commit bd49784fd1e8f42c7600fbfa206361324857f373 upstream.

If the user selected the precise_timestamps or histogram options, report
it in the @stats_list message output.

If the user didn't select these options, no extra tokens are reported,
thus it is backward compatible with old software that doesn't know about
precise timestamps and histogram.
