commit 2e91c3694181dc500faffec16c5aaa0ac5e15449 upstream.

After QUEUE_FLAG_DYING has been set any code that is waiting in
get_request() should be woken up.  But to get this behaviour
blk_set_queue_dying() must be used instead of only setting
QUEUE_FLAG_DYING.

Recal cached_dev_sectors on cached_dev detached, as recal done on

Update the cached_dev_sectors before bcache_device_detach called

[ Upstream commit d377535405686f735b90a8ad4ba269484cd7c96e ]

mempool_init()/bioset_init() require that the mempools/biosets be zeroed
first; they probably should not _require_ this, but not allocating those
structs with kzalloc is a fairly nonsensical thing to do (calling
mempool_exit()/bioset_exit() on an uninitialized mempool/bioset is legal
and safe, but only works if said memory was zeroed.)

<title>dm snapshot: rework COW throttling to fix deadlock</title>

[ Upstream commit b21555786f18cd77f2311ad89074533109ae3ffa ]

Commit 721b1d98fb517a ("dm snapshot: Fix excessive memory usage and
workqueue stalls") introduced a semaphore to limit the maximum number of
in-flight kcopyd (COW) jobs.

The implementation of this throttling mechanism is prone to a deadlock:

1. One or more threads write to the origin device causing COW, which is
   performed by kcopyd.

2. At some point some of these threads might reach the s-&gt;cow_count
   semaphore limit and block in down(&amp;s-&gt;cow_count), holding a read lock
   on _origins_lock.

3. Someone tries to acquire a write lock on _origins_lock, e.g.,
   snapshot_ctr(), which blocks because the threads at step (2) already
   hold a read lock on it.

4. A COW operation completes and kcopyd runs dm-snapshot's completion
   callback, which ends up calling pending_complete().
   pending_complete() tries to resubmit any deferred origin bios. This
   requires acquiring a read lock on _origins_lock, which blocks.

   This happens because the read-write semaphore implementation gives
   priority to writers, meaning that as soon as a writer tries to enter
   the critical section, no readers will be allowed in, until all
   writers have completed their work.

   So, pending_complete() waits for the writer at step (3) to acquire
   and release the lock. This writer waits for the readers at step (2)
   to release the read lock and those readers wait for
   pending_complete() (the kcopyd thread) to signal the s-&gt;cow_count
   semaphore: DEADLOCK.

The above was thoroughly analyzed and documented by Nikos Tsironis as
part of his initial proposal for fixing this deadlock, see:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2019-October/msg00001.html

Fix this deadlock by reworking COW throttling so that it waits without
holding any locks. Add a variable 'in_progress' that counts how many
kcopyd jobs are running. A function wait_for_in_progress() will sleep if
'in_progress' is over the limit. It drops _origins_lock in order to
avoid the deadlock.

commit 143f6e733b73051cd22dcb80951c6c929da413ce upstream.

7471fb77ce4d ("md/raid6: Fix anomily when recovering a single device in
RAID6.") avoids rereading P when it can be computed from other members.
However, this misses the chance to re-write the right data to P. This
patch sets R5_ReadError if the re-read fails.

Also, when re-read is skipped, we also missed the chance to reset
rdev-&gt;read_errors to 0. It can fail the disk when there are many read
errors on P member disk (other disks don't have read error)

V2: upper layer read request don't read parity/Q data. So there is no
need to consider such situation.

[ Upstream commit 062f5b2ae12a153644c765e7ba3b0f825427be1d ]

When a disk is added to array, the following path is called in mdadm.

Manage_subdevs -&gt; sysfs_freeze_array
               -&gt; Manage_add
               -&gt; sysfs_set_str(&amp;info, NULL, "sync_action","idle")

Then from kernel side, Manage_add invokes the path (add_new_disk -&gt;
validate_super = super_1_validate) to set In_sync flag.

Since In_sync means "device is in_sync with rest of array", and the new
added disk need to resync thread to help the synchronization of data.
And md_reap_sync_thread would call spare_active to set In_sync for the
new added disk finally. So don't set In_sync if array is in frozen.

[ Upstream commit 0d8ed0e9bf9643f27f4816dca61081784dedb38d ]

When add one disk to array, the md_reap_sync_thread is responsible
to activate the spare and set In_sync flag for the new member in
spare_active().

But if raid1 has one member disk A, and disk B is added to the array.
Then we offline A before all the datas are synchronized from A to B,
obviously B doesn't have the latest data as A, but B is still marked
with In_sync flag.

So let's not call spare_active under the condition, otherwise B is
still showed with 'U' state which is not correct.
