commit 483cbbeddd5fe2c80fd4141ff0748fa06c4ff146 upstream.

This fixes the case when md array assembly fails because of raid cache recovery
unable to allocate a stripe, despite attempts to replay stripes and increase
cache size. This happens because stripes released by r5c_recovery_replay_stripes
and raid5_set_cache_size don't become available for allocation immediately.
Released stripes first are placed on conf-&gt;released_stripes list and require
md thread to merge them on conf-&gt;inactive_list before they can be allocated.

Patch allows final allocation attempt during cache recovery to wait for
new stripes to become availabe for allocation.

commit 1856b9f7bcc8e9bdcccc360aabb56fbd4dd6c565 upstream.

The dm-crypt cipher specification in a mapping table is defined as:
  cipher[:keycount]-chainmode-ivmode[:ivopts]
or (new crypt API format):
  capi:cipher_api_spec-ivmode[:ivopts]

For ESSIV, the parameter includes hash specification, for example:
aes-cbc-essiv:sha256

The implementation expected that additional IV option to never include
another dash '-' character.

But, with SHA3, there are names like sha3-256; so the mapping table
parser fails:

dmsetup create test --table "0 8 crypt aes-cbc-essiv:sha3-256 9c1185a5c5e9fc54612808977ee8f5b9e 0 /dev/sdb 0"
  or (new crypt API format)
dmsetup create test --table "0 8 crypt capi:cbc(aes)-essiv:sha3-256 9c1185a5c5e9fc54612808977ee8f5b9e 0 /dev/sdb 0"

  device-mapper: crypt: Ignoring unexpected additional cipher options
  device-mapper: table: 253:0: crypt: Error creating IV
  device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table

Fix the dm-crypt constructor to ignore additional dash in IV options and
also remove a bogus warning (that is ignored anyway).

commit d445bd9cec1a850c2100fcf53684c13b3fd934f2 upstream.

Commit 00a0ea33b495 ("dm thin: do not queue freed thin mapping for next
stage processing") changed process_prepared_discard_passdown_pt1() to
increment all the blocks being discarded until after the passdown had
completed to avoid them being prematurely reused.

IO issued to a thin device that breaks sharing with a snapshot, followed
by a discard issued to snapshot(s) that previously shared the block(s),
results in passdown_double_checking_shared_status() being called to
iterate through the blocks double checking their reference count is zero
and issuing the passdown if so.  So a side effect of commit 00a0ea33b495
is passdown_double_checking_shared_status() was broken.

Fix this by checking if the block reference count is greater than 1.
Also, rename dm_pool_block_is_used() to dm_pool_block_is_shared().

[ Upstream commit ef87bfc24f9b8da82c89aff493df20f078bc9cb1 ]

Reference to a device in device-mapper table contains offset in sectors.

If the sector_t is 32bit integer (CONFIG_LBDAF is not set), then
several device-mapper targets can overflow this offset and validity
check is then performed on a wrong offset and a wrong table is activated.

See for example (on 32bit without CONFIG_LBDAF) this overflow:

  # dmsetup create test --table "0 2048 linear /dev/sdg 4294967297"
  # dmsetup table test
  0 2048 linear 8:96 1

This patch adds explicit check for overflow if the offset is sector_t type.

[ Upstream commit 721b1d98fb517ae99ab3b757021cf81db41e67be ]

kcopyd has no upper limit to the number of jobs one can allocate and
issue. Under certain workloads this can lead to excessive memory usage
and workqueue stalls. For example, when creating multiple dm-snapshot
targets with a 4K chunk size and then writing to the origin through the
page cache. Syncing the page cache causes a large number of BIOs to be
issued to the dm-snapshot origin target, which itself issues an even
larger (because of the BIO splitting taking place) number of kcopyd
jobs.

Running the following test, from the device mapper test suite [1],

  dmtest run --suite snapshot -n many_snapshots_of_same_volume_N

, with 8 active snapshots, results in the kcopyd job slab cache growing
to 10G. Depending on the available system RAM this can lead to the OOM
killer killing user processes:

Moreover, issuing a large number of kcopyd jobs results in kcopyd
hogging the CPU, while processing them. As a result, processing of work
items, queued for execution on the same CPU as the currently running
kcopyd thread, is stalled for long periods of time, hurting performance.
Running the aforementioned test we get, in dmesg, messages like the
following:

The root cause for these issues is the way dm-snapshot uses kcopyd. In
particular, the lack of an explicit or implicit limit to the maximum
number of in-flight COW jobs. The merging path is not affected because
it implicitly limits the in-flight kcopyd jobs to one.

Fix these issues by using a semaphore to limit the maximum number of
in-flight kcopyd jobs. We grab the semaphore before allocating a new
kcopyd job in start_copy() and start_full_bio() and release it after the
job finishes in copy_callback().

The initial semaphore value is configurable through a module parameter,
to allow fine tuning the maximum number of in-flight COW jobs. Setting
this parameter to zero initializes the semaphore to INT_MAX.

A default value of 2048 maximum in-flight kcopyd jobs was chosen. This
value was decided experimentally as a trade-off between memory
consumption, stalling the kernel's workqueues and maintaining a high
enough throughput.

Re-running the aforementioned test:

  * Workqueue stalls are eliminated
  * kcopyd's job slab cache uses a maximum of 130MB
  * The time taken by the test to write to the snapshot-origin target is
    reduced from 05m20.48s to 03m26.38s

[ Upstream commit 721b1d98fb517ae99ab3b757021cf81db41e67be ]

kcopyd has no upper limit to the number of jobs one can allocate and
issue. Under certain workloads this can lead to excessive memory usage
and workqueue stalls. For example, when creating multiple dm-snapshot
targets with a 4K chunk size and then writing to the origin through the
page cache. Syncing the page cache causes a large number of BIOs to be
issued to the dm-snapshot origin target, which itself issues an even
larger (because of the BIO splitting taking place) number of kcopyd
jobs.

Running the following test, from the device mapper test suite [1],

  dmtest run --suite snapshot -n many_snapshots_of_same_volume_N

, with 8 active snapshots, results in the kcopyd job slab cache growing
to 10G. Depending on the available system RAM this can lead to the OOM
killer killing user processes:

Moreover, issuing a large number of kcopyd jobs results in kcopyd
hogging the CPU, while processing them. As a result, processing of work
items, queued for execution on the same CPU as the currently running
kcopyd thread, is stalled for long periods of time, hurting performance.
Running the aforementioned test we get, in dmesg, messages like the

The root cause for these issues is the way dm-snapshot uses kcopyd. In
particular, the lack of an explicit or implicit limit to the maximum
number of in-flight COW jobs. The merging path is not affected because
it implicitly limits the in-flight kcopyd jobs to one.

Fix these issues by using a semaphore to limit the maximum number of
in-flight kcopyd jobs. We grab the semaphore before allocating a new
kcopyd job in start_copy() and start_full_bio() and release it after the
job finishes in copy_callback().

The initial semaphore value is configurable through a module parameter,
to allow fine tuning the maximum number of in-flight COW jobs. Setting
this parameter to zero initializes the semaphore to INT_MAX.

A default value of 2048 maximum in-flight kcopyd jobs was chosen. This
value was decided experimentally as a trade-off between memory
consumption, stalling the kernel's workqueues and maintaining a high
enough throughput.

Re-running the aforementioned test:

  * Workqueue stalls are eliminated
  * kcopyd's job slab cache uses a maximum of 130MB
  * The time taken by the test to write to the snapshot-origin target is
    reduced from 05m20.48s to 03m26.38s

[ Upstream commit d7e6b8dfc7bcb3f4f3a18313581f67486a725b52 ]

When using kcopyd to run callbacks through dm_kcopyd_do_callback() or
submitting copy jobs with a source size of 0, the jobs are pushed
directly to the complete_jobs list, which could be under processing by
the kcopyd thread. As a result, the kcopyd thread can continue running
completed jobs indefinitely, without releasing the CPU, as long as
someone keeps submitting new completed jobs through the aforementioned
paths. Processing of work items, queued for execution on the same CPU as
the currently running kcopyd thread, is thus stalled for excessive
amounts of time, hurting performance.

Running the following test, from the device mapper test suite [1],

  dmtest run --suite snapshot -n parallel_io_to_many_snaps_N

, with 8 active snapshots, we get, in dmesg, messages like the
following:

Fix this by splitting the complete_jobs list into two parts: A user
facing part, named callback_jobs, and one used internally by kcopyd,
retaining the name complete_jobs. dm_kcopyd_do_callback() and
dispatch_job() now push their jobs to the callback_jobs list, which is
spliced to the complete_jobs list once, every time the kcopyd thread
wakes up. This prevents kcopyd from hogging the CPU indefinitely and
causing workqueue stalls.

Re-running the aforementioned test:

  * Workqueue stalls are eliminated
  * The maximum writing time among all targets is reduced from 09m37.10s
    to 06m04.85s and the total run time of the test is reduced from
    10m43.591s to 7m19.199s

<title>dm crypt: use u64 instead of sector_t to store iv_offset</title>

[ Upstream commit 8d683dcd65c037efc9fb38c696ec9b65b306e573 ]

The iv_offset in the mapping table of crypt target is a 64bit number when
IV algorithm is plain64, plain64be, essiv or benbi. It will be assigned to
iv_offset of struct crypt_config, cc_sector of struct convert_context and
iv_sector of struct dm_crypt_request. These structures members are defined
as a sector_t. But sector_t is 32bit when CONFIG_LBDAF is not set in 32bit
kernel. In this situation sector_t is not big enough to store the 64bit
iv_offset.

Here is a reproducer.
Prepare test image and device (loop is automatically allocated by cryptsetup):

  # dd if=/dev/zero of=tst.img bs=1M count=1
  # echo "tst"|cryptsetup open --type plain -c aes-xts-plain64 \
  --skip 500000000000000000 tst.img test

On 32bit system (use IV offset value that overflows to 64bit; CONFIG_LBDAF if off)
and device checksum is wrong:

  # dmsetup table test --showkeys
  0 2048 crypt aes-xts-plain64 dfa7cfe3c481f2239155739c42e539ae8f2d38f304dcc89d20b26f69daaf0933 3551657984 7:0 0

On 64bit system (and on 32bit system with the patch), table and checksum is now correct:

  # dmsetup table test --showkeys
  0 2048 crypt aes-xts-plain64 dfa7cfe3c481f2239155739c42e539ae8f2d38f304dcc89d20b26f69daaf0933 500000000000000000 7:0 0

[ Upstream commit 8d683dcd65c037efc9fb38c696ec9b65b306e573 ]

The iv_offset in the mapping table of crypt target is a 64bit number when
IV algorithm is plain64, plain64be, essiv or benbi. It will be assigned to
iv_offset of struct crypt_config, cc_sector of struct convert_context and
iv_sector of struct dm_crypt_request. These structures members are defined
as a sector_t. But sector_t is 32bit when CONFIG_LBDAF is not set in 32bit
kernel. In this situation sector_t is not big enough to store the 64bit
iv_offset.

Here is a reproducer.
Prepare test image and device (loop is automatically allocated by cryptsetup):

  # dd if=/dev/zero of=tst.img bs=1M count=1
  # echo "tst"|cryptsetup open --type plain -c aes-xts-plain64 \
  --skip 500000000000000000 tst.img test

On 32bit system (use IV offset value that overflows to 64bit; CONFIG_LBDAF if off)
and device checksum is wrong:

  # dmsetup table test --showkeys
  0 2048 crypt aes-xts-plain64 dfa7cfe3c481f2239155739c42e539ae8f2d38f304dcc89d20b26f69daaf0933 3551657984 7:0 0

  # sha256sum /dev/mapper/test
  533e25c09176632b3794f35303488c4a8f3f965dffffa6ec2df347c168cb6c19 /dev/mapper/test

On 64bit system (and on 32bit system with the patch), table and checksum is now correct:

  # dmsetup table test --showkeys
  0 2048 crypt aes-xts-plain64 dfa7cfe3c481f2239155739c42e539ae8f2d38f304dcc89d20b26f69daaf0933 500000000000000000 7:0 0

commit c6d6e9b0f6b4201c77f2cea3964dd122697e3543 upstream.

Update DM to set the bdi's io_pages.  This fixes reads to be capped at
the device's max request size (even if user's read IO exceeds the
established readahead setting).

Fixes: 9491ae4a ("mm: don't cap request size based on read-ahead setting")

Decoupled version bump from commit f6c367585d0 ("dm thin: send event
about thin-pool state change _after_ making it") because version bumps
just create conflicts when backporting to the stable trees.

Sending a DM event before a thin-pool state change is about to happen is
a bug.  It wasn't realized until it became clear that userspace response
to the event raced with the actual state change that the event was
meant to notify about.

Fix this by first updating internal thin-pool state to reflect what the
DM event is being issued about.  This fixes a long-standing racey/buggy
userspace device-mapper-test-suite 'resize_io' test that would get an
event but not find the state it was looking for -- so it would just go
on to hang because no other events caused the test to reevaluate the
thin-pool's state.
