commit 117aceb030307dcd431fdcff87ce988d3016c34a upstream.

When committing era metadata to disk, it doesn't always save the latest
spacemap metadata root in superblock. Due to this, metadata is getting
corrupted sometimes when reopening the device. The correct order of update
should be, pre-commit (shadows spacemap root), save the spacemap root
(newly shadowed block) to in-core superblock and then the final commit.

commit 4617f564c06117c7d1b611be49521a4430042287 upstream.

When calling a dm ioctl that doesn't process any data
(IOCTL_FLAGS_NO_PARAMS), the contents of the data field in struct
dm_ioctl are left initialized.  Current code is incorrectly extending
the size of data copied back to user, causing the contents of kernel
stack to be leaked to user.  Fix by only copying contents before data
and allow the functions processing the ioctl to override.

commit 816b0acf3deb6d6be5d0519b286fdd4bafade905 upstream.

If first_bad == this_sector when we get the WriteMostly disk
in read_balance(), valid disk will be returned with zero
max_sectors. It'll lead to a dead loop in make_request(), and
OOM will happen because of endless allocation of struct bio.

Since we can't get data from this disk in this case, so
continue for another disk.

Commit 79bd99596b73 ("blk: improve order of bio handling in generic_make_request()")
changed current-&gt;bio_list so that it did not contain *all* of the
queued bios, but only those submitted by the currently running
make_request_fn.

There are two places which walk the list and requeue selected bios,
and others that check if the list is empty.  These are no longer
correct.

So redefine current-&gt;bio_list to point to an array of two lists, which
contain all queued bios, and adjust various code to test or walk both
lists.

commit 61eb2b43b99ebdc9bc6bc83d9792257b243e7cb3 upstream.

Neil Brown pointed out a potential deadlock in raid 10 code with
bio_split/chain. The raid1 code could have the same issue, but recent
barrier rework makes it less likely to happen. The deadlock happens in
below sequence:

1. generic_make_request(bio), this will set current-&gt;bio_list
2. raid10_make_request will split bio to bio1 and bio2
3. __make_request(bio1), wait_barrer, add underlayer disk bio to
current-&gt;bio_list
4. __make_request(bio2), wait_barrer

If raise_barrier happens between 3 &amp; 4, since wait_barrier runs at 3,
raise_barrier waits for IO completion from 3. And since raise_barrier
sets barrier, 4 waits for raise_barrier. But IO from 3 can't be
dispatched because raid10_make_request() doesn't finished yet.

The solution is to adjust the IO ordering. Quotes from Neil:
"
It is much safer to:

    if (need to split) {
        split = bio_split(bio, ...)
        bio_chain(...)
        make_request_fn(split);
        generic_make_request(bio);
   } else
        make_request_fn(mddev, bio);

This way we first process the initial section of the bio (in 'split')
which will queue some requests to the underlying devices.  These
requests will be queued in generic_make_request.
Then we queue the remainder of the bio, which will be added to the end
of the generic_make_request queue.
Then we return.
generic_make_request() will pop the lower-level device requests off the
queue and handle them first.  Then it will process the remainder
of the original bio once the first section has been fully processed.
"

Note, this only happens in read path. In write path, the bio is flushed to
underlaying disks either by blk flush (from schedule) or offladed to raid1/10d.
It's queued in current-&gt;bio_list.

commit d67a5f4b5947aba4bfe9a80a2b86079c215ca755 upstream.

Commit df2cb6daa4 ("block: Avoid deadlocks with bio allocation by
stacking drivers") created a workqueue for every bio set and code
in bio_alloc_bioset() that tries to resolve some low-memory deadlocks
by redirecting bios queued on current-&gt;bio_list to the workqueue if the
system is low on memory.  However other deadlocks (see below **) may
happen, without any low memory condition, because generic_make_request
is queuing bios to current-&gt;bio_list (rather than submitting them).

** the related dm-snapshot deadlock is detailed here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2016-July/msg00065.html

Fix this deadlock by redirecting any bios on current-&gt;bio_list to the
bio_set's rescue workqueue on every schedule() call.  Consequently,
when the process blocks on a mutex, the bios queued on
current-&gt;bio_list are dispatched to independent workqueus and they can
complete without waiting for the mutex to be available.

The structure blk_plug contains an entry cb_list and this list can contain
arbitrary callback functions that are called when the process blocks.
To implement this fix DM (ab)uses the onstack plug's cb_list interface
to get its flush_current_bio_list() called at schedule() time.

This fixes the snapshot deadlock - if the map method blocks,
flush_current_bio_list() will be called and it redirects bios waiting
on current-&gt;bio_list to appropriate workqueues.

<id>5a1f03f1ee9170f99760d7abcb68754f551b3187</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 03a9e24ef2aaa5f1f9837356aed79c860521407a upstream.

Recently I receive a bug report that on Linux v3.0 based kerenl, hot add
disk to a md linear device causes kernel crash at linear_congested(). From
the crash image analysis, I find in linear_congested(), mddev-&gt;raid_disks
contains value N, but conf-&gt;disks[] only has N-1 pointers available. Then
a NULL pointer deference crashes the kernel.

There is a race between linear_add() and linear_congested(), RCU stuffs
used in these two functions cannot avoid the race. Since Linuv v4.0
RCU code is replaced by introducing mddev_suspend().  After checking the
upstream code, it seems linear_congested() is not called in
generic_make_request() code patch, so mddev_suspend() cannot provent it
from being called. The possible race still exists.

Here I explain how the race still exists in current code.  For a machine
has many CPUs, on one CPU, linear_add() is called to add a hard disk to a
md linear device; at the same time on other CPU, linear_congested() is
called to detect whether this md linear device is congested before issuing
an I/O request onto it.

Now I use a possible code execution time sequence to demo how the possible
race happens,

seq    linear_add()                linear_congested()
 0                                 conf=mddev-&gt;private
 1   oldconf=mddev-&gt;private
 2   mddev-&gt;raid_disks++
 3                              for (i=0; i&lt;mddev-&gt;raid_disks;i++)
 4                                bdev_get_queue(conf-&gt;disks[i].rdev-&gt;bdev)
 5   mddev-&gt;private=newconf

In linear_add() mddev-&gt;raid_disks is increased in time seq 2, and on
another CPU in linear_congested() the for-loop iterates conf-&gt;disks[i] by
the increased mddev-&gt;raid_disks in time seq 3,4. But conf with one more
element (which is a pointer to struct dev_info type) to conf-&gt;disks[] is
not updated yet, accessing its structure member in time seq 4 will cause a
NULL pointer deference fault.

To fix this race, there are 2 parts of modification in the patch,
 1) Add 'int raid_disks' in struct linear_conf, as a copy of
    mddev-&gt;raid_disks. It is initialized in linear_conf(), always being
    consistent with pointers number of 'struct dev_info disks[]'. When
    iterating conf-&gt;disks[] in linear_congested(), use conf-&gt;raid_disks to
    replace mddev-&gt;raid_disks in the for-loop, then NULL pointer deference
    will not happen again.
 2) RCU stuffs are back again, and use kfree_rcu() in linear_add() to
    free oldconf memory. Because oldconf may be referenced as mddev-&gt;private
    in linear_congested(), kfree_rcu() makes sure that its memory will not
    be released until no one uses it any more.
Also some code comments are added in this patch, to make this modification
to be easier understandable.

This patch can be applied for kernels since v4.0 after commit:
3be260cc18f8 ("md/linear: remove rcu protections in favour of
suspend/resume"). But this bug is reported on Linux v3.0 based kernel, for
people who maintain kernels before Linux v4.0, they need to do some back
back port to this patch.

Changelog:
 - V3: add 'int raid_disks' in struct linear_conf, and use kfree_rcu() to
       replace rcu_call() in linear_add().
 - v2: add RCU stuffs by suggestion from Shaohua and Neil.
 - v1: initial effort.

commit 03a9e24ef2aaa5f1f9837356aed79c860521407a upstream.

Recently I receive a bug report that on Linux v3.0 based kerenl, hot add
disk to a md linear device causes kernel crash at linear_congested(). From
the crash image analysis, I find in linear_congested(), mddev-&gt;raid_disks
contains value N, but conf-&gt;disks[] only has N-1 pointers available. Then
a NULL pointer deference crashes the kernel.

There is a race between linear_add() and linear_congested(), RCU stuffs
used in these two functions cannot avoid the race. Since Linuv v4.0
RCU code is replaced by introducing mddev_suspend().  After checking the
upstream code, it seems linear_congested() is not called in
generic_make_request() code patch, so mddev_suspend() cannot provent it
from being called. The possible race still exists.

Here I explain how the race still exists in current code.  For a machine
has many CPUs, on one CPU, linear_add() is called to add a hard disk to a
md linear device; at the same time on other CPU, linear_congested() is
called to detect whether this md linear device is congested before issuing
an I/O request onto it.

Now I use a possible code execution time sequence to demo how the possible
race happens,

seq    linear_add()                linear_congested()
 0                                 conf=mddev-&gt;private
 1   oldconf=mddev-&gt;private
 2   mddev-&gt;raid_disks++
 3                              for (i=0; i&lt;mddev-&gt;raid_disks;i++)
 4                                bdev_get_queue(conf-&gt;disks[i].rdev-&gt;bdev)
 5   mddev-&gt;private=newconf

In linear_add() mddev-&gt;raid_disks is increased in time seq 2, and on
another CPU in linear_congested() the for-loop iterates conf-&gt;disks[i] by
the increased mddev-&gt;raid_disks in time seq 3,4. But conf with one more
element (which is a pointer to struct dev_info type) to conf-&gt;disks[] is
not updated yet, accessing its structure member in time seq 4 will cause a
NULL pointer deference fault.

To fix this race, there are 2 parts of modification in the patch,
 1) Add 'int raid_disks' in struct linear_conf, as a copy of
    mddev-&gt;raid_disks. It is initialized in linear_conf(), always being

    iterating conf-&gt;disks[] in linear_congested(), use conf-&gt;raid_disks to
    replace mddev-&gt;raid_disks in the for-loop, then NULL pointer deference
    will not happen again.

commit ca763d0a53b264a650342cee206512bc92ac7050 upstream.

A rounding bug due to compiler generated temporary being 32bit was found
in remap_to_cache().  A localized cast in remap_to_cache() fixes the
corruption but this preferred fix (changing from uint32_t to sector_t)
eliminates potential for future rounding errors elsewhere.
