When BLOCK_LEGACY_AUTOLOAD is not enable, mdadm is not able to
activate new arrays unless "CREATE names=yes" appears in
mdadm.conf

As this is a regression we need to always enable BLOCK_LEGACY_AUTOLOAD
for when MD is selected - at least until mdadm is updated and the
updates widely available.

<title>block: count 'ios' and 'sectors' when io is done for bio-based device</title>

While using iostat for raid, I observed very strange 'await'
occasionally, and turns out it's due to that 'ios' and 'sectors' is
counted in bdev_start_io_acct(), while 'nsecs' is counted in
bdev_end_io_acct(). I'm not sure why they are ccounted like that
but I think this behaviour is obviously wrong because user will get
wrong disk stats.

Fix the problem by counting 'ios' and 'sectors' when io is done, like
what rq-based device does.

slot_store() uses kstrtouint() to get a slot number, but stores the
result in an "int" variable (by casting a pointer).
This can result in a negative slot number if the unsigned int value is
very large.

A negative number means that the slot is empty, but setting a negative
slot number this way will not remove the device from the array.  I don't
think this is a serious problem, but it could cause confusion and it is
best to fix it.

If md_run() fails after -&gt;active_io is initialized, then percpu_ref_exit
is called in error path. However, later md_free_disk will call
percpu_ref_exit again which leads to a panic because of null pointer
dereference. It can also trigger this bug when resources are initialized
but are freed in error path, then will be freed again in md_free_disk.

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000038
Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP

For creating raid device, md raid calls do_md_run-&gt;md_run, dm raid calls
md_run. We alloc those memory in md_run. For stopping raid device, md raid
calls do_md_stop-&gt;__md_stop, dm raid calls md_stop-&gt;__md_stop. So we can
free those memory resources in __md_stop.

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - Fix DM cache target to free background tracker work items, otherwise
   slab BUG will occur when kmem_cache_destroy() is called.

 - Improve 2 of DM's shrinker names to reflect their use.

 - Fix the DM flakey target to not corrupt the zero page. Fix dm-flakey
   on 32-bit hughmem systems by using bvec_kmap_local instead of
   page_address. Also, fix logic used when imposing the
   "corrupt_bio_byte" feature.

 - Stop using WQ_UNBOUND for DM verity target's verify_wq because it
   causes significant Android latencies on ARM64 (and doesn't show real
   benefit on other architectures).

 - Add negative check to catch simple case of a DM table referencing
   itself. More complex scenarios that use intermediate devices to
   self-reference still need to be avoided/handled in userspace.

 - Fix DM core's resize to only send one uevent instead of two. This
   fixes a race with udev, that if udev wins, will cause udev to miss
   uevents (which caused premature unmount attempts by systemd).

 - Add cond_resched() to workqueue functions in DM core, dn-thin and
   dm-cache so that their loops aren't the cause of unintended cpu
   scheduling fairness issues.

 - Fix all of DM's checkpatch errors and warnings (famous last words).
   Various other small cleanups.

* tag 'for-6.3/dm-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: (62 commits)

Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney:

 - Documentation updates

 - Miscellaneous fixes, perhaps most notably:

      - Throttling callback invocation based on the number of callbacks
        that are now ready to invoke instead of on the total number of
        callbacks

      - Several patches that suppress false-positive boot-time
        diagnostics, for example, due to lockdep not yet being
        initialized

      - Make expedited RCU CPU stall warnings dump stacks of any tasks
        that are blocking the stalled grace period. (Normal RCU CPU
        stall warnings have done this for many years)

      - Lazy-callback fixes to avoid delays during boot, suspend, and
        resume. (Note that lazy callbacks must be explicitly enabled, so
        this should not (yet) affect production use cases)

 - Make kfree_rcu() and friends take advantage of polled grace periods,
   thus reducing memory footprint by almost two orders of magnitude,
   admittedly on a microbenchmark

   This also begins the transition from kfree_rcu(p) to
   kfree_rcu_mightsleep(p). This transition was motivated by bugs where
   kfree_rcu(p), which can block, was typed instead of the intended
   kfree_rcu(p, rh)

 - SRCU updates, perhaps most notably fixing a bug that causes SRCU to
   fail when booted on a system with a non-zero boot CPU. This
   surprising situation actually happens for kdump kernels on the
   powerpc architecture

   This also adds an srcu_down_read() and srcu_up_read(), which act like
   srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock(), but allow an SRCU read-side
   critical section to be handed off from one task to another

 - Clean up the now-useless SRCU Kconfig option

   There are a few more commits that are not yet acked or pulled into
   maintainer trees, and these will be in a pull request for a later
   merge window

 - RCU-tasks updates, perhaps most notably these fixes:

      - A strange interaction between PID-namespace unshare and the
        RCU-tasks grace period that results in a low-probability but
        very real hang

      - A race between an RCU tasks rude grace period on a single-CPU
        system and CPU-hotplug addition of the second CPU that can
        result in a too-short grace period

      - A race between shrinking RCU tasks down to a single callback
        list and queuing a new callback to some other CPU, but where
        that queuing is delayed for more than an RCU grace period. This
        can result in that callback being stranded on the non-boot CPU

 - Torture-test updates and fixes

 - Torture-test scripting updates and fixes

 - Provide additional RCU CPU stall-warning information in kernels built
   with CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_CPUTIME=y, and restore the full five-minute
   timeout limit for expedited RCU CPU stall warnings
