commit 50c70240097ce41fe6bce6478b80478281e4d0f7 upstream.

It was said that authenticated encryption could produce invalid tag when
the data that is being encrypted is modified [1]. So, fix this problem by
copying the data into the clone bio first and then encrypt them inside the
clone bio.

This may reduce performance, but it is needed to prevent the user from
corrupting the device by writing data with O_DIRECT and modifying them at
the same time.

<title>dm-integrity: don't modify bio's immutable bio_vec in integrity_metadata()</title>

commit b86f4b790c998afdbc88fe1aa55cfe89c4068726 upstream.

__bio_for_each_segment assumes that the first struct bio_vec argument
doesn't change - it calls "bio_advance_iter_single((bio), &amp;(iter),
(bvl).bv_len)" to advance the iterator. Unfortunately, the dm-integrity
code changes the bio_vec with "bv.bv_len -= pos". When this code path
is taken, the iterator would be out of sync and dm-integrity would
report errors. This happens if the machine is out of memory and
"kmalloc" fails.

Fix this bug by making a copy of "bv" and changing the copy instead.

[ Upstream commit bed9e27baf52a09b7ba2a3714f1e24e17ced386d ]

This reverts commit 5e2cf333b7bd5d3e62595a44d598a254c697cd74.

That commit introduced the following race and can cause system hung.

 md_write_start:             raid5d:
 // mddev-&gt;in_sync == 1
 set "MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING"
                            // running before md_write_start wakeup it
                             waiting "MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING" cleared
                             &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; hung
 wakeup mddev-&gt;thread
 ...
 waiting "MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING" cleared
 &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; hung, raid5d should clear this flag
 but get hung by same flag.

The issue reverted commit fixing is fixed by last patch in a new way.

[ Upstream commit dc1cc22ed58f11d58d8553c5ec5f11cbfc3e3039 ]

Upon assembling the array, both kernel and mdadm allow the devices to have event
counter difference of 1, and still consider them as up-to-date.
However, a device whose event count is behind by 1, may in fact not be up-to-date,
and array resync with such a device may cause data corruption.
To avoid this, consult the superblock of the freshest device about the status
of a device, whose event counter is behind by 1.

In run_cache_set() after c-&gt;root returned from bch_btree_node_get(), it
is checked by IS_ERR_OR_NULL(). Indeed it is unncessary to check NULL
because bch_btree_node_get() will not return NULL pointer to caller.

This patch replaces IS_ERR_OR_NULL() by IS_ERR() for the above reason.

<title>bcache: avoid oversize memory allocation by small stripe_size</title>

[ Upstream commit baf8fb7e0e5ec54ea0839f0c534f2cdcd79bea9c ]

Arraies bcache-&gt;stripe_sectors_dirty and bcache-&gt;full_dirty_stripes are
used for dirty data writeback, their sizes are decided by backing device
capacity and stripe size. Larger backing device capacity or smaller
stripe size make these two arraies occupies more dynamic memory space.

Currently bcache-&gt;stripe_size is directly inherited from
queue-&gt;limits.io_opt of underlying storage device. For normal hard
drives, its limits.io_opt is 0, and bcache sets the corresponding
stripe_size to 1TB (1&lt;&lt;31 sectors), it works fine 10+ years. But for
devices do declare value for queue-&gt;limits.io_opt, small stripe_size
(comparing to 1TB) becomes an issue for oversize memory allocations of
bcache-&gt;stripe_sectors_dirty and bcache-&gt;full_dirty_stripes, while the
capacity of hard drives gets much larger in recent decade.

For example a raid5 array assembled by three 20TB hardrives, the raid
device capacity is 40TB with typical 512KB limits.io_opt. After the math
calculation in bcache code, these two arraies will occupy 400MB dynamic
memory. Even worse Andrea Tomassetti reports that a 4KB limits.io_opt is
declared on a new 2TB hard drive, then these two arraies request 2GB and
512MB dynamic memory from kzalloc(). The result is that bcache device
always fails to initialize on his system.

To avoid the oversize memory allocation, bcache-&gt;stripe_size should not
directly inherited by queue-&gt;limits.io_opt from the underlying device.
This patch defines BCH_MIN_STRIPE_SZ (4MB) as minimal bcache stripe size
and set bcache device's stripe size against the declared limits.io_opt
value from the underlying storage device,
- If the declared limits.io_opt &gt; BCH_MIN_STRIPE_SZ, bcache device will
  set its stripe size directly by this limits.io_opt value.
- If the declared limits.io_opt &lt; BCH_MIN_STRIPE_SZ, bcache device will
  set its stripe size by a value multiplying limits.io_opt and euqal or
  large than BCH_MIN_STRIPE_SZ.

Then the minimal stripe size of a bcache device will always be &gt;= 4MB.
For a 40TB raid5 device with 512KB limits.io_opt, memory occupied by
bcache-&gt;stripe_sectors_dirty and bcache-&gt;full_dirty_stripes will be 50MB
in total. For a 2TB hard drive with 4KB limits.io_opt, memory occupied
by these two arraies will be 2.5MB in total.

Such mount of memory allocated for bcache-&gt;stripe_sectors_dirty and
bcache-&gt;full_dirty_stripes is reasonable for most of storage devices.

commit bb6cc253861bd5a7cf8439e2118659696df9619f upstream.

Commit 028ddcac477b ("bcache: Remove unnecessary NULL point check in
node allocations") replaced IS_ERR_OR_NULL by IS_ERR. This leads to a
NULL pointer dereference.

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000080

            rw_unlock(true, new_nodes[i]);
        }

This patch replaces IS_ERR() by IS_ERR_OR_NULL() to fix this.

<title>dm verity: don't perform FEC for failed readahead IO</title>

commit 0193e3966ceeeef69e235975918b287ab093082b upstream.

We found an issue under Android OTA scenario that many BIOs have to do
FEC where the data under dm-verity is 100% complete and no corruption.

Android OTA has many dm-block layers, from upper to lower:
dm-verity
dm-snapshot
dm-origin &amp; dm-cow
dm-linear
ufs

DM tables have to change 2 times during Android OTA merging process.
When doing table change, the dm-snapshot will be suspended for a while.
During this interval, many readahead IOs are submitted to dm_verity
from filesystem. Then the kverity works are busy doing FEC process
which cost too much time to finish dm-verity IO. This causes needless
delay which feels like system is hung.

After adding debugging it was found that each readahead IO needed
around 10s to finish when this situation occurred. This is due to IO
amplification:

dm-snapshot suspend
erofs_readahead     // 300+ io is submitted
	dm_submit_bio (dm_verity)
		dm_submit_bio (dm_snapshot)
		bio return EIO
		bio got nothing, it's empty
	verity_end_io
	verity_verify_io
	forloop range(0, io-&gt;n_blocks)    // each io-&gt;nblocks ~= 20
		verity_fec_decode
		fec_decode_rsb
		fec_read_bufs
		forloop range(0, v-&gt;fec-&gt;rsn) // v-&gt;fec-&gt;rsn = 253
			new_read
			submit_bio (dm_snapshot)
		end loop
	end loop
dm-snapshot resume

Readahead BIOs get nothing while dm-snapshot is suspended, so all of
them will cause verity's FEC.
Each readahead BIO needs to verify ~20 (io-&gt;nblocks) blocks.
Each block needs to do FEC, and every block needs to do 253
(v-&gt;fec-&gt;rsn) reads.
So during the suspend interval(~200ms), 300 readahead BIOs trigger
~1518000 (300*20*253) IOs to dm-snapshot.

As readahead IO is not required by userspace, and to fix this issue,
it is best to pass readahead errors to upper layer to handle it.

commit 38bc1ab135db87577695816b190e7d6d8ec75879 upstream.

dm_verity_fec_io is placed after the end of two hash digests. If the hash
digest has unaligned length, struct dm_verity_fec_io could be unaligned.

This commit fixes the placement of struct dm_verity_fec_io, so that it's
aligned.
