commit d35bd764e6899a7bea71958f08d16cea5bfa1919 upstream.

Add cond_resched() to a loop that fills in the mapper memory area
because the loop can be executed many times.

[ Upstream commit dcacbc1242c71e18fa9d2eadc5647e115c9c627d ]

It's possible for a block driver to set logical block size to
a value greater than page size incorrectly; e.g. bcache takes
the value from the superblock, set by the user w/ make-bcache.

This causes a BUG/NULL pointer dereference in the path:

  __blkdev_get()
  -&gt; set_init_blocksize() // set i_blkbits based on ...
     -&gt; bdev_logical_block_size()
        -&gt; queue_logical_block_size() // ... this value
  -&gt; bdev_disk_changed()
     ...
     -&gt; blkdev_readpage()
        -&gt; block_read_full_page()
           -&gt; create_page_buffers() // size = 1 &lt;&lt; i_blkbits
              -&gt; create_empty_buffers() // give size/take pointer
                 -&gt; alloc_page_buffers() // return NULL
                 .. BUG!

Because alloc_page_buffers() is called with size &gt; PAGE_SIZE,
thus it initializes head = NULL, skips the loop, return head;
then create_empty_buffers() gets (and uses) the NULL pointer.

This has been around longer than commit ad6bf88a6c19 ("block:
fix an integer overflow in logical block size"); however, it
increased the range of values that can trigger the issue.

Previously only 8k/16k/32k (on x86/4k page size) would do it,
as greater values overflow unsigned short to zero, and queue_
logical_block_size() would then use the default of 512.

Now the range with unsigned int is much larger, and users w/
the 512k value, which happened to be zero'ed previously and
work fine, started to hit this issue -- as the zero is gone,
and queue_logical_block_size() does return 512k (&gt;PAGE_SIZE.)

Fix this by checking the bcache device's logical block size,
and if it's greater than page size, fallback to the backing/
cached device's logical page size.

This doesn't affect cache devices as those are still checked
for block/page size in read_super(); only the backing/cached
devices are not.

Apparently it's a regression from commit 2903381fce71 ("bcache:
Take data offset from the bdev superblock."), moving the check
into BCACHE_SB_VERSION_CDEV only. Now that we have superblocks
of backing devices out there with this larger value, we cannot
refuse to load them (i.e., have a similar check in _BDEV.)

Ideally perhaps bcache should use all values from the backing
device (physical/logical/io_min block size)? But for now just
fix the problematic case.

Test-case:

    # IMG=/root/disk.img
    # dd if=/dev/zero of=$IMG bs=1 count=0 seek=1G
    # DEV=$(losetup --find --show $IMG)
    # make-bcache --bdev $DEV --block 8k
      &lt; see dmesg &gt;

  drivers/md//bcache/btree.c:1538:1-7: preceding lock on line 1417

In btree_gc_coalesce func, if the coalescing process fails, we will goto
to out_nocoalesce tag directly without releasing new_nodes[i]-&gt;write_lock.
Then, it will cause a deadlock when trying to acquire new_nodes[i]-&gt;
write_lock for freeing new_nodes[i] before return.

btree_gc_coalesce func details as follows:
	if alloc new_nodes[i] fails:
		goto out_nocoalesce;
	// obtain new_nodes[i]-&gt;write_lock
	mutex_lock(&amp;new_nodes[i]-&gt;write_lock)
	// main coalescing process
	for (i = nodes - 1; i &gt; 0; --i)
		[snipped]
		if coalescing process fails:
			// Here, directly goto out_nocoalesce
			 // tag will cause a deadlock
			goto out_nocoalesce;
		[snipped]
	// release new_nodes[i]-&gt;write_lock
	mutex_unlock(&amp;new_nodes[i]-&gt;write_lock)
	// coalesing succ, return
	return;
out_nocoalesce:
	btree_node_free(new_nodes[i])	// free new_nodes[i]
	// obtain new_nodes[i]-&gt;write_lock
	mutex_lock(&amp;new_nodes[i]-&gt;write_lock);
	// set flag for reuse
	clear_bit(BTREE_NODE_dirty, &amp;ew_nodes[i]-&gt;flags);
	// release new_nodes[i]-&gt;write_lock
	mutex_unlock(&amp;new_nodes[i]-&gt;write_lock);

To fix the problem, we add a new tag 'out_unlock_nocoalesce' for
releasing new_nodes[i]-&gt;write_lock before out_nocoalesce tag. If
coalescing process fails, we will go to out_unlock_nocoalesce tag
for releasing new_nodes[i]-&gt;write_lock before free new_nodes[i] in
out_nocoalesce tag.

[ Upstream commit 489dc0f06a5837f87482c0ce61d830d24e17082e ]

The only case where dmz_get_zone_for_reclaim() cannot return a zone is
if the respective lists are empty. So we should just return a simple
NULL value here as we really don't have an error code which would make
sense.

[ Upstream commit 2361ae595352dec015d14292f1b539242d8446d6 ]

SCSI LUN passthrough code such as qemu's "scsi-block" device model
pass every IO to the host via SG_IO ioctls. Currently, dm-multipath
calls choose_pgpath() only in the block IO code path, not in the ioctl
code path (unless current_pgpath is NULL). This has the effect that no
path switching and thus no load balancing is done for SCSI-passthrough
IO, unless the active path fails.

Fix this by using the same logic in multipath_prepare_ioctl() as in
multipath_clone_and_map().

Note: The allegedly best path selection algorithm, service-time,
still wouldn't work perfectly, because the io size of the current
request is always set to 0. Changing that for the IO passthrough
case would require the ioctl cmd and arg to be passed to dm's
prepare_ioctl() method.

commit 64611a15ca9da91ff532982429c44686f4593b5f upstream.

queue_limits::logical_block_size got changed from unsigned short to
unsigned int, but it was forgotten to update crypt_io_hints() to use the
new type.  Fix it.

<title>bcache: fix refcount underflow in bcache_device_free()</title>

<id>bbbe83b3c57e6d90fc41ee0e93d820b72cf4bdde</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 86da9f736740eba602389908574dfbb0f517baa5 ]

The problematic code piece in bcache_device_free() is,

 785 static void bcache_device_free(struct bcache_device *d)
 786 {
 787     struct gendisk *disk = d-&gt;disk;
 [snipped]
 799     if (disk) {
 800             if (disk-&gt;flags &amp; GENHD_FL_UP)
 801                     del_gendisk(disk);
 802
 803             if (disk-&gt;queue)
 804                     blk_cleanup_queue(disk-&gt;queue);
 805
 806             ida_simple_remove(&amp;bcache_device_idx,
 807                               first_minor_to_idx(disk-&gt;first_minor));
 808             put_disk(disk);
 809         }
 [snipped]
 816 }

At line 808, put_disk(disk) may encounter kobject refcount of 'disk'
being underflow.

Here is how to reproduce the issue,
- Attche the backing device to a cache device and do random write to
  make the cache being dirty.
- Stop the bcache device while the cache device has dirty data of the
  backing device.
- Only register the backing device back, NOT register cache device.
- The bcache device node /dev/bcache0 won't show up, because backing
  device waits for the cache device shows up for the missing dirty
  data.
- Now echo 1 into /sys/fs/bcache/pendings_cleanup, to stop the pending
  backing device.
- After the pending backing device stopped, use 'dmesg' to check kernel
  message, a use-after-free warning from KASA reported the refcount of
  kobject linked to the 'disk' is underflow.

The dropping refcount at line 808 in the above code piece is added by
add_disk(d-&gt;disk) in bch_cached_dev_run(). But in the above condition
the cache device is not registered, bch_cached_dev_run() has no chance
to be called and the refcount is not added. The put_disk() for a non-
added refcount of gendisk kobject triggers a underflow warning.

This patch checks whether GENHD_FL_UP is set in disk-&gt;flags, if it is
not set then the bcache device was not added, don't call put_disk()
and the the underflow issue can be avoided.

[ Upstream commit ba54d4d4d2844c234f1b4692bd8c9e0f833c8a54 ]

Using GFP_NOIO flag to call scribble_alloc() from resize_chunk() does
not have the expected behavior. kvmalloc_array() inside scribble_alloc()
which receives the GFP_NOIO flag will eventually call kmalloc_node() to
allocate physically continuous pages.

Now we have memalloc scope APIs in mddev_suspend()/mddev_resume() to
prevent memory reclaim I/Os during raid array suspend context, calling
to kvmalloc_array() with GFP_KERNEL flag may avoid deadlock of recursive
I/O as expected.

This patch removes the useless gfp flags from parameters list of
scribble_alloc(), and call kvmalloc_array() with GFP_KERNEL flag. The
incorrect GFP_NOIO flag does not exist anymore.

[ Upstream commit f6766ff6afff70e2aaf39e1511e16d471de7c3ae ]

We need to check mddev-&gt;del_work before flush workqueu since the purpose
of flush is to ensure the previous md is disappeared. Otherwise the similar
deadlock appeared if LOCKDEP is enabled, it is due to md_open holds the
bdev-&gt;bd_mutex before flush workqueue.

And md_alloc also flushed the same workqueue, but the thing is different
here. Because all the paths call md_alloc don't hold bdev-&gt;bd_mutex, and
the flush is necessary to avoid race condition, so leave it as it is.

[ Upstream commit f6766ff6afff70e2aaf39e1511e16d471de7c3ae ]

We need to check mddev-&gt;del_work before flush workqueu since the purpose
of flush is to ensure the previous md is disappeared. Otherwise the similar
deadlock appeared if LOCKDEP is enabled, it is due to md_open holds the
bdev-&gt;bd_mutex before flush workqueue.
