commit acc9cf8c66c66b2cbbdb4a375537edee72be64df upstream.

This patch fixes a cachedev registration-time allocation deadlock.
This can deadlock on boot if your initrd auto-registeres bcache devices:

The fifo code in upstream bcache can't use the last element in the buffer,
which was the cause of the bug: if you asked for a power of two size,
it'd give you a fifo that could hold one less than what you asked for
rather than allocating a buffer twice as big.

<title>dm flakey: error READ bios during the down_interval</title>

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.

<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.

 "A set of fixes that wasn't included in the first merge window pull
  request.  This pull request contains:

   - A set of NVMe fixes from Keith, and one from Nic for the integrity
     side of it.

   - Fix from Ming, clearing -&gt;mq_ops if we don't successfully setup a
     queue for multiqueue.

   - A set of stability fixes for bcache from Jiri, and also marking
     bcache as orphaned as it's no longer actively maintained (in
     mainline, at least)"

Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "A set of fixes that wasn't included in the first merge window pull
  request.  This pull request contains:

   - A set of NVMe fixes from Keith, and one from Nic for the integrity
     side of it.

   - Fix from Ming, clearing -&gt;mq_ops if we don't successfully setup a
     queue for multiqueue.

   - A set of stability fixes for bcache from Jiri, and also marking
     bcache as orphaned as it's no longer actively maintained (in
     mainline, at least)"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  blk-mq: clear q-&gt;mq_ops if init fail
  MAINTAINERS: mark bcache as orphan
  bcache: bch_gc_thread() is not freezable
  bcache: bch_allocator_thread() is not freezable
  bcache: bch_writeback_thread() is not freezable
  nvme/host: Add missing blk_integrity tag_size + flags assignments
  NVMe: Add device ID's with stripe quirk
  NVMe: Short-cut removal on surprise hot-unplug
  NVMe: Allow user initiated rescan
  NVMe: Reduce driver log spamming
  NVMe: Unbind driver on failure
  NVMe: Delete only created queues

bch_gc_thread() doesn't mark itself freezable, so calling try_to_freeze()
in its context is just an expensive no-op.

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.
