commit f659b10087daaf4ce0087c3f6aec16746be9628f upstream.

As the documentation for kthread_stop() says, "if threadfn() may call
do_exit() itself, the caller must ensure task_struct can't go away".
dm-crypt does not ensure this and therefore crashes when crypt_dtr()
calls kthread_stop().  The crash is trivially reproducible by adding a
delay before the call to kthread_stop() and just opening and closing a
dm-crypt device.

 general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP

This problem was introduced by bcbd94ff481e ("dm crypt: fix a possible
hang due to race condition on exit").

Looking at the description of that patch (excerpted below), it seems
like the problem it addresses can be solved by just using
set_current_state instead of __set_current_state, since we obviously
need the memory barrier.

| dm crypt: fix a possible hang due to race condition on exit
|
| A kernel thread executes __set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE),
| __add_wait_queue, spin_unlock_irq and then tests kthread_should_stop().
| It is possible that the processor reorders memory accesses so that
| kthread_should_stop() is executed before __set_current_state().  If
| such reordering happens, there is a possible race on thread
| termination: [...]

So this patch just reverts the aforementioned patch and changes the
__set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE) to set_current_state(...).  This
fixes the crash and should also fix the potential hang.

commit f10e06b744074824fb8ec7066bc03ecc90918f5b upstream.

If pg_init_retries is set and a request is queued against a multipath
device with all underlying block device request_queues in the "dying"
state then an infinite loop is triggered because activate_path() never
succeeds and hence never calls pg_init_done().

This change avoids that device removal triggers an infinite loop by
failing the activate_path() which causes the "dying" path to be failed.

commit 9dbeaeabacb26260d1621fe58f0f6fdedc8860d4 upstream.

Every call of queue_flag_clear_unlocked() after block device
initialization has finished is wrong if blk_cleanup_queue() can be
called concurrently.  Convert queue_flag_clear_unlocked() into
queue_flag_clear() and protect it by the block layer queue lock.

Also, factor out dm_mq_start_queue().

commit 8dc23658b7aaa8b6b0609c81c8ad75e98b612801 upstream.

dm_resume() will return success (0) rather than -EINVAL if
!dm_suspended_md() upon retry within dm_resume().

Reset the error code at the start of dm_resume()'s retry loop.
Also, remove a useless assignment at the end of dm_resume().

commit 5f9d1fde7d54a5(raid5: fix memory leak of bio integrity data)
moves bio_reset to bio_endio. But it introduces a small race condition.
It does bio_reset after raid5_release_stripe, which could make the
stripe reusable and hence reuse the bio just before bio_reset. Moving
bio_reset before raid5_release_stripe is called should fix the race.
