[ Upstream commit d67ed2ccd2d1dcfda9292c0ea8697a9d0f2f0d98 ]

In the raid1_reshape function, newpool is
allocated on the stack and assigned to conf-&gt;r1bio_pool.
This results in conf-&gt;r1bio_pool.wait.head pointing
to a stack address.
Accessing this address later can lead to a kernel panic.

Example access path:

raid1_reshape()
{
	// newpool is on the stack
	mempool_t newpool, oldpool;
	// initialize newpool.wait.head to stack address
	mempool_init(&amp;newpool, ...);
	conf-&gt;r1bio_pool = newpool;
}

raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request()
{
	alloc_r1bio()
	{
		mempool_alloc()
		{
			// if pool-&gt;alloc fails
			remove_element()
			{
				--pool-&gt;curr_nr;
			}
		}
	}
}

mempool_free()
{
	if (pool-&gt;curr_nr &lt; pool-&gt;min_nr) {
		// pool-&gt;wait.head is a stack address
		// wake_up() will try to access this invalid address
		// which leads to a kernel panic
		return;
		wake_up(&amp;pool-&gt;wait);
	}
}

Fix:
reinit conf-&gt;r1bio_pool.wait after assigning newpool.

<title>dm-mirror: fix a tiny race condition</title>

commit 829451beaed6165eb11d7a9fb4e28eb17f489980 upstream.

There's a tiny race condition in dm-mirror. The functions queue_bio and
write_callback grab a spinlock, add a bio to the list, drop the spinlock
and wake up the mirrord thread that processes bios in the list.

It may be possible that the mirrord thread processes the bio just after
spin_unlock_irqrestore is called, before wakeup_mirrord. This spurious
wake-up is normally harmless, however if the device mapper device is
unloaded just after the bio was processed, it may be possible that
wakeup_mirrord(ms) uses invalid "ms" pointer.

Fix this bug by moving wakeup_mirrord inside the spinlock.

<title>dm cache: prevent BUG_ON by blocking retries on failed device resumes</title>

[ Upstream commit 5da692e2262b8f81993baa9592f57d12c2703dea ]

A cache device failing to resume due to mapping errors should not be
retried, as the failure leaves a partially initialized policy object.
Repeating the resume operation risks triggering BUG_ON when reloading
cache mappings into the incomplete policy object.

Reproduce steps:

1. create a cache metadata consisting of 512 or more cache blocks,
   with some mappings stored in the first array block of the mapping
   array. Here we use cache_restore v1.0 to build the metadata.

cat &lt;&lt;EOF &gt;&gt; cmeta.xml
&lt;superblock uuid="" block_size="128" nr_cache_blocks="512" \
policy="smq" hint_width="4"&gt;
  &lt;mappings&gt;
    &lt;mapping cache_block="0" origin_block="0" dirty="false"/&gt;
  &lt;/mappings&gt;
&lt;/superblock&gt;
EOF
dmsetup create cmeta --table "0 8192 linear /dev/sdc 0"
cache_restore -i cmeta.xml -o /dev/mapper/cmeta --metadata-version=2
dmsetup remove cmeta

2. wipe the second array block of the mapping array to simulate
   data degradations.

mapping_root=$(dd if=/dev/sdc bs=1c count=8 skip=192 \
2&gt;/dev/null | hexdump -e '1/8 "%u\n"')
ablock=$(dd if=/dev/sdc bs=1c count=8 skip=$((4096*mapping_root+2056)) \
2&gt;/dev/null | hexdump -e '1/8 "%u\n"')
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=4k count=1 seek=$ablock

3. try bringing up the cache device. The resume is expected to fail
   due to the broken array block.

dmsetup create cmeta --table "0 8192 linear /dev/sdc 0"
dmsetup create cdata --table "0 65536 linear /dev/sdc 8192"
dmsetup create corig --table "0 524288 linear /dev/sdc 262144"
dmsetup create cache --notable
dmsetup load cache --table "0 524288 cache /dev/mapper/cmeta \
/dev/mapper/cdata /dev/mapper/corig 128 2 metadata2 writethrough smq 0"
dmsetup resume cache

4. try resuming the cache again. An unexpected BUG_ON is triggered
   while loading cache mappings.

Fix it by copying the size of src, and not the size of dst, as it was.

commit 5a2a6c428190f945c5cbf5791f72dbea83e97f66 upstream.

realloc_argv() was only updating the array size if it was called with
old_argv already allocated. The first time it was called to create an
argv array, it would allocate the array but return the array size as
zero. dm_split_args() would think that it couldn't store any arguments
in the array and would call realloc_argv() again, causing it to
reallocate the initial slots (this time using GPF_KERNEL) and finally
return a size. Aside from being wasteful, this could cause deadlocks on
targets that need to process messages without starting new IO. Instead,
realloc_argv should always update the allocated array size on success.

commit 0a533c3e4246c29d502a7e0fba0e86d80a906b04 upstream.

If we use the 'B' mode and we have an invalit table line,
cancel_delayed_work_sync would trigger a warning. This commit avoids the
warning.

<title>md/raid1: Add check for missing source disk in process_checks()</title>

[ Upstream commit b7c178d9e57c8fd4238ff77263b877f6f16182ba ]

During recovery/check operations, the process_checks function loops
through available disks to find a 'primary' source with successfully
read data.

If no suitable source disk is found after checking all possibilities,
the 'primary' index will reach conf-&gt;raid_disks * 2. Add an explicit
check for this condition after the loop. If no source disk was found,
print an error message and return early to prevent further processing
without a valid primary source.
