commit 120c9257f5f19e5d1e87efcbb5531b7cd81b7d74 upstream.

This reverts commit effd58c95f277744f75d6e08819ac859dbcbd351.

blk_queue_split() is causing excessive IO splitting -- because
blk_max_size_offset() depends on 'chunk_sectors' limit being set and
if it isn't (as is the case for DM targets!) it falls back to
splitting on a 'max_sectors' boundary regardless of offset.

"Fix" this by reverting back to _not_ using blk_queue_split() in
dm_process_bio() for normal IO (reads and writes).  Long-term fix is
still TBD but it should focus on training blk_max_size_offset() to
call into a DM provided hook (to call DM's max_io_len()).

Test results from simple misaligned IO test on 4-way dm-striped device
with chunksize of 128K and stripesize of 512K:

xfs_io -d -c 'pread -b 2m 224s 4072s' /dev/mapper/stripe_dev

Pull device mapper fixes from Mike Snitzer:

 - Fix request-based DM's congestion_fn and actually wire it up to the
   bdi.

 - Extend dm-bio-record to track additional struct bio members needed by
   DM integrity target.

 - Fix DM core to properly advertise that a device is suspended during
   unload (between the presuspend and postsuspend hooks). This change is
   a prereq for related DM integrity and DM writecache fixes. It
   elevates DM integrity's 'suspending' state tracking to DM core.

 - Four stable fixes for DM integrity target.

 - Fix crash in DM cache target due to incorrect work item cancelling.

 - Fix DM thin metadata lockdep warning that was introduced during 5.6
   merge window.

 - Fix DM zoned target's chunk work refcounting that regressed during
   recent conversion to refcount_t.

 - Bump the minor version for DM core and all target versions that have
   seen interface changes or important fixes during the 5.6 cycle.

Changes made during the 5.6 cycle warrant bumping the version number
for DM core and the targets modified by this commit.

It should be noted that dm-thin, dm-crypt and dm-raid already had
their target version bumped during the 5.6 merge window.

We neither assign congested_fn for requested-based blk-mq device nor
implement it correctly. So fix both.

Also, remove incorrect comment from dm_init_normal_md_queue and rename
it to dm_init_congested_fn.

In cases where dec_in_flight() has to requeue the integrity_bio_wait
work to transfer the rest of the data, the bio's __bi_remaining might
already have been decremented to 0, e.g.: if bio passed to underlying
data device was split via blk_queue_split().

Use dm_bio_{record,restore} rather than effectively open-coding them in
dm-integrity -- these methods now manage __bi_remaining too.

This reverts commit 0b96da639a4874311e9b5156405f69ef9fc3bef8.

We can't just go flushing random signals, under the assumption that the
OOM killer will just do something else. It's not safe from the OOM
perspective, and it could also cause other signals to get randomly lost.

<title>dm zoned: Fix reference counter initial value of chunk works</title>

Dm-zoned initializes reference counters of new chunk works with zero
value and refcount_inc() is called to increment the counter. However, the
refcount_inc() function handles the addition to zero value as an error
and triggers the warning as follows:

refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.

After this warning, following refcount API calls for the counter all fail
to change the counter value.

Fix this by setting the initial reference counter value not zero but one
for the new chunk works. Instead, do not call refcount_inc() via
dmz_get_chunk_work() for the new chunks works.

The failure was observed with linux version 5.4 with CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL
enabled. Refcount rework was merged to linux version 5.5 by the
commit 168829ad09ca ("Merge branch 'locking-core-for-linus' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip"). After this
commit, CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL was removed and the failure was observed
regardless of kernel configuration.

Linux version 4.20 merged the commit 092b5648760a ("dm zoned: target: use
refcount_t for dm zoned reference counters"). Before this commit, dm
zoned used atomic_t APIs which does not check addition to zero, then this
fix is not necessary.
