Commit 7dd76d1feec7 ("dm: improve bio splitting and associated IO
accounting") removed using cloned bio when dm io splitting is needed.
Using bio_trim()+bio_inc_remaining() rather than bio_split()+bio_chain()
causes multiple dm_io instances to share the same original bio, and it
works fine if IOs are completed successfully.

But a regression was caused for the case when BLK_STS_DM_REQUEUE is
returned from any one of DM's cloned bios (whose dm_io share the same
orig_bio). In this BLK_STS_DM_REQUEUE case only the mapped subset of
the original bio for the current exact dm_io needs to be re-submitted.
However, since the original bio is shared among all dm_io instances,
the -&gt;orig_bio actually only represents the last dm_io instance, so
requeue can't work as expected. Also when more than one dm_io is
requeued, the same original bio is requeued from all dm_io's
completion handler, then race is caused.

Fix this issue by still allocating one clone bio for completing io
only, then io accounting can rely on -&gt;orig_bio being unmodified. This
is needed because the dm_io's sector_offset and sectors members are
recorded relative to an unmodified -&gt;orig_bio.

In the future, we can go back to using bio_trim()+bio_inc_remaining()
for dm's io splitting but then delay needing a bio clone only when
handling BLK_STS_DM_REQUEUE, but that approach is a bit complicated
(so it needs a development cycle):
1) bio clone needs to be done in task context
2) a block interface for unwinding bio is required

<title>dm: do not return early from dm_io_complete if BLK_STS_AGAIN without polling</title>

Commit 5291984004edf ("dm: fix bio polling to handle possibile
BLK_STS_AGAIN") inadvertently introduced an early return from
dm_io_complete() without first queueing the bio to DM if BLK_STS_AGAIN
occurs and bio-polling is _not_ being used.

Fix this by only returning early from dm_io_complete() if the bio has
first been properly queued to DM. Otherwise, the bio will never finish
via bio_endio.

<title>dm: fix narrow race for REQ_NOWAIT bios being issued despite no support</title>

<content type='text'>
Starting with the commit 63a225c9fd20, device mapper has an optimization
that it will take cheaper table lock (dm_get_live_table_fast instead of
dm_get_live_table) if the bio has REQ_NOWAIT. The bios with REQ_NOWAIT
must not block in the target request routine, if they did, we would be
blocking while holding rcu_read_lock, which is prohibited.

The targets that are suitable for REQ_NOWAIT optimization (and that don't
block in the map routine) have the flag DM_TARGET_NOWAIT set. Device
mapper will test if all the targets and all the devices in a table
support nowait (see the function dm_table_supports_nowait) and it will set
or clear the QUEUE_FLAG_NOWAIT flag on its request queue according to
this check.

There's a test in submit_bio_noacct: "if ((bio-&gt;bi_opf &amp; REQ_NOWAIT) &amp;&amp;
!blk_queue_nowait(q)) goto not_supported" - this will make sure that
REQ_NOWAIT bios can't enter a request queue that doesn't support them.

This mechanism works to prevent REQ_NOWAIT bios from reaching dm targets
that don't support the REQ_NOWAIT flag (and that may block in the map
routine) - except that there is a small race condition:

submit_bio_noacct checks if the queue has the QUEUE_FLAG_NOWAIT without
holding any locks. Immediatelly after this check, the device mapper table
may be reloaded with a table that doesn't support REQ_NOWAIT (for example,
if we start moving the logical volume or if we activate a snapshot).
However the REQ_NOWAIT bio that already passed the check in
submit_bio_noacct would be sent to device mapper, where it could be
redirected to a dm target that doesn't support REQ_NOWAIT - the result is
sleeping while we hold rcu_read_lock.

In order to fix this race, we double-check if the target supports
REQ_NOWAIT while we hold the table lock (so that the table can't change
under us).

<title>dm: fix use-after-free in dm_put_live_table_bio</title>

dm_put_live_table_bio is called from the end of dm_submit_bio.
However, at this point, the bio may be already finished and the caller
may have freed the bio. Consequently, dm_put_live_table_bio accesses
the stale "bio" pointer.

Fix this bug by loading the bi_opf value and passing it to
dm_get_live_table_bio and dm_put_live_table_bio instead of the bio.

This bug was found by running the lvm2 testsuite with kasan.

After commit 82f6cdcc3676c ("dm: switch dm_io booleans over to proper
flags") dm_start_io_acct stopped atomically checking and setting
was_accounted, which turned into the DM_IO_ACCOUNTED flag. This opened
the possibility for a race where IO accounting is started twice for
duplicate bios. To remove the race, check the flag while holding the
io-&gt;lock.

<title>dm: fix zoned locking imbalance due to needless check in clone_endio</title>

After the commit ca522482e3ea ("dm: pass NULL bdev to bio_alloc_clone"),
clone_endio() only calls dm_zone_endio() when DM targets remap the
clone bio's bdev to something other than the md-&gt;disk-&gt;part0 default.

However, if a DM target (e.g. dm-crypt) stacked ontop of a dm-zoned
does not remap the clone bio using bio_set_dev() then dm_zone_endio()
is not called at completion of the bios and zone locks are not
properly unlocked. This triggers a hang, in dm_zone_map_bio(), when
blktests block/004 is run for dm-crypt on zoned block devices. To
avoid the hang, simply remove the clone_endio() check that verifies
the target remapped the clone bio to a device other than the default.

 "New support for clearing memory errors when a file is in DAX mode,
  alongside with some other fixes and cleanups.

  Previously it was only possible to clear these errors using a truncate

  as well.

  This change spans x86/mm, nvdimm, and fs/dax, and has received the

a user process receives a SIGBUS with si_code BUS_MCEERR_AR
indicating poison(s) in a dax range, in response, the user process
issues a pwrite() to the page-aligned dax range, thus clears the
poison and puts valid data in the range.

Introduce dax_recovery_write() operation. The function is used to
recover a dax range that contains poison. Typical use case is when
a user process receives a SIGBUS with si_code BUS_MCEERR_AR
indicating poison(s) in a dax range, in response, the user process
issues a pwrite() to the page-aligned dax range, thus clears the
poison and puts valid data in the range.

Up till now, dax_direct_access() is used implicitly for normal
access, but for the purpose of recovery write, dax range with
poison is requested.  To make the interface clear, introduce
	enum dax_access_mode {
		DAX_ACCESS,
		DAX_RECOVERY_WRITE,
	}
where DAX_ACCESS is used for normal dax access, and
DAX_RECOVERY_WRITE is used for dax recovery write.
