commit 99f3c90d0d85708e7401a81ce3314e50bf7f2819 upstream.

When the corrupt_bio_byte feature was introduced it caused READ bios to
no longer be errored with -EIO during the down_interval.  This had to do
with the complexity of needing to submit READs if the corrupt_bio_byte
feature was used.

Fix it so READ bios are properly errored with -EIO; doing so early in
flakey_map() as long as there isn't a match for the corrupt_bio_byte
feature.

do_div was replaced with div64_u64 at some point, causing a bug with
block calculation due to incompatible semantics of the two functions.

<title>dm: set DMF_SUSPENDED* _before_ clearing DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING</title>

commit eaf9a7361f47727b166688a9f2096854eef60fbe upstream.

Otherwise, there is potential for both DMF_SUSPENDED* and
DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING to not be set during dm_suspend() -- which is
definitely _not_ a valid state.

This fix, in conjuction with "dm rq: fix the starting and stopping of
blk-mq queues", addresses the potential for request-based DM multipath's
__multipath_map() to see !dm_noflush_suspending() during suspend.

commit bd9f55ea1cf6e14eb054b06ea877d2d1fa339514 upstream.

Commit d548b34b062 ("dm: reduce the queue delay used in dm_request_fn
from 100ms to 10ms") always intended the value to be 10 msecs -- it
just expressed it in jiffies because earlier commit 7eaceaccab ("block:

bch_allocator_thread() is calling try_to_freeze(), but that's just an
expensive no-op given the fact that the thread is not marked freezable.

Bucket allocator has to be up and running to the very last stages of the
suspend, as the bcache I/O that's in flight (think of writing an
hibernation image to a swap device served by bcache).

bch_writeback_thread() is calling try_to_freeze(), but that's just an
expensive no-op given the fact that the thread is not marked freezable.

I/O helper kthreads, exactly such as the bcache writeback thread, actually
shouldn't be freezable, because they are potentially necessary for
finalizing the image write-out.
