commit e49c7c374e7aacd1f04ecbc21d9dbbeeea4a77d6 upstream.
Journal writes need to be marked FUA, not just REQ_FLUSH. And btree node
writes have... weird ordering requirements.

commit b1bf2de07271932326af847a3c6a01fdfd29d4be upstream.
Fix a boundary condition that caused failure for certain device sizes.
The problem is reported at
http://code.google.com/p/cryptsetup/issues/detail?id=160
For certain device sizes the number of hashes at a specific level was
calculated incorrectly.
It happens for example for a device with data and metadata block size 4096
that has 16385 blocks and algorithm sha256.
The user can test if he is affected by this bug by running the
"veritysetup verify" command and also by activating the dm-verity kernel
driver and reading the whole block device. If it passes without an error,
then the user is not affected.
The condition for the bug is:
Split the total number of data blocks (data_block_bits) into bit strings,
each string has hash_per_block_bits bits. hash_per_block_bits is
rounddown(log2(metadata_block_size/hash_digest_size)). Equivalently, you
can say that you convert data_blocks_bits to 2^hash_per_block_bits base.
If there some zero bit string below the most significant bit string and at
least one bit below this zero bit string is set, then the bug happens.
The same bug exists in the userspace veritysetup tool, so you must use
fixed veritysetup too if you want to use devices that are affected by
this boundary condition.

commit 1c0e883e86ece31880fac2f84b260545d66a39e0 upstream.
Set noio flag while calling __vmalloc() because it doesn't fully respect
gfp flags to avoid a possible deadlock (see commit
502624bdad3dba45dfaacaf36b7d83e39e74b2d2).
This should be backported to stable kernels 3.8 and newer. The kernel 3.8
doesn't have memalloc_noio_save(), so we should set and restore process
flag PF_MEMALLOC instead.

commit 6c182cd88d179cbbd06f4f8a8a19b6977940753f upstream.
When multipath needs to retry an ioctl the reference to the
current live table needs to be dropped. Otherwise a deadlock
occurs when all paths are down:
- dm_blk_ioctl takes a reference to the current table
and spins in multipath_ioctl().
- A new table is being loaded, but upon resume the process
hangs in dm_table_destroy() waiting for references to
drop to zero.
With this patch the reference to the old table is dropped
prior to retry, thereby avoiding the deadlock.

commit 0eb25bb027a100f5a9df8991f2f628e7d851bc1e upstream.
We always need to be careful when calling generic_make_request, as it
can start a chain of events which might free something that we are
using.
Here is one place I wasn't careful enough. If the wbio2 is not in
use, then it might get freed at the first generic_make_request call.
So perform all necessary tests first.
This bug was introduced in 3.3-rc3 (24afd80d99) and can cause an
oops, so fix is suitable for any -stable since then.

commit f94c0b6658c7edea8bc19d13be321e3860a3fa54 upstream.
If a device in a RAID4/5/6 is being replaced while another is being
recovered, then the writes to the replacement device currently don't
happen, resulting in corruption when the replacement completes and the
new drive takes over.
This is because the replacement writes are only triggered when
's.replacing' is set and not when the similar 's.sync' is set (which
is the case during resync and recovery - it means all devices need to
be read).
So schedule those writes when s.replacing is set as well.
In this case we cannot use "STRIPE_INSYNC" to record that the
replacement has happened as that is needed for recording that any
parity calculation is complete. So introduce STRIPE_REPLACED to
record if the replacement has happened.
For safety we should also check that STRIPE_COMPUTE_RUN is not set.
This has a similar effect to the "s.locked == 0" test. The latter
ensure that now IO has been flagged but not started. The former
checks if any parity calculation has been flagged by not started.
We must wait for both of these to complete before triggering the
'replace'.
Add a similar test to the subsequent check for "are we finished yet".
This possibly isn't needed (is subsumed in the STRIPE_INSYNC test),
but it makes it more obvious that the REPLACE will happen before we
think we are finished.
Finally if a NeedReplace device is not UPTODATE then that is an
error. We really must trigger a warning.
This bug was introduced in commit 9a3e1101b827a59ac9036a672f5fa8d5279d0fe2
(md/raid5: detect and handle replacements during recovery.)
which introduced replacement for raid5.
That was in 3.3-rc3, so any stable kernel since then would benefit
from this fix.

commit 30bc9b53878a9921b02e3b5bc4283ac1c6de102a upstream.
Recent change to use bio_copy_data() in raid1 when repairing
an array is faulty.
The underlying may have changed the bio in various ways using
bio_advance and these need to be undone not just for the 'sbio' which
is being copied to, but also the 'pbio' (primary) which is being
copied from.
So perform the reset on all bios that were read from and do it early.
This also ensure that the sbio->bi_io_vec[j].bv_len passed to
memcmp is correct.
This fixes a crash during a 'check' of a RAID1 array. The crash was
introduced in 3.10 so this is suitable for 3.10-stable.

commit 7ceb17e87bde79d285a8b988cfed9eaeebe60b86
md: Allow devices to be re-added to a read-only array.
allowed a bit more than just that. It also allows devices to be added
to a read-write array and to end up skipping recovery.
This patch removes the offending piece of code pending a rewrite for a
subsequent release.
More specifically:
If the array has a bitmap, then the device will still need a bitmap
based resync ('saved_raid_disk' is set under different conditions
is a bitmap is present).
If the array doesn't have a bitmap, then this is correct as long as
nothing has been written to the array since the metadata was checked
by ->validate_super. However there is no locking to ensure that there
was no write.
Bug was introduced in 3.10 and causes data corruption so
patch is suitable for 3.10-stable.

commit faa5673617656ee58369a3cfe4a312cfcdc59c81 upstream.
The journal replay code starts by finding something that looks like a
valid journal entry, then it does a binary search over the unchecked
region of the journal for the journal entries with the highest sequence
numbers.
Trouble is, the logic was wrong - journal_read_bucket() returns true if
it found journal entries we need, but if the range of journal entries
we're looking for loops around the end of the journal - in that case
journal_read_bucket() could return true when it hadn't found the highest
sequence number we'd seen yet, and in that case the binary search did
the wrong thing. Whoops.

commit 29ebf465b9050f241c4433a796a32e6c896a9dcd upstream.
Part of the job of garbage collection is to add up however many sectors
of live data it finds in each bucket, but that doesn't work very well if
it doesn't reset GC_SECTORS_USED() when it starts. Whoops.
This wouldn't have broken anything horribly, but allocation tries to
preferentially reclaim buckets that are mostly empty and that's not
gonna work with an incorrect GC_SECTORS_USED() value.

commit 6aa8f1a6ca41c49721d2de4e048d3da8d06411f9 upstream.
In the far-too-complicated closure code - closures can have destructors,
for probably dubious reasons; they get run after the closure is no
longer waiting on anything but before dropping the parent ref, intended
just for freeing whatever memory the closure is embedded in.
Trouble is, when remaining goes to 0 and we've got nothing more to run -
we also have to unlock the closure, setting remaining to -1. If there's
a destructor, that unlock isn't doing anything - nobody could be trying
to lock it if we're about to free it - but if the unlock _is needed...
that check for a destructor was racy. Argh.

commit 7bb23c4934059c64cbee2e41d5d24ce122285176 upstream.
1/ When an different between blocks is found, data is copied from
one bio to the other. However bv_len is used as the length to
copy and this could be zero. So use r10_bio->sectors to calculate
length instead.
Using bv_len was probably always a bit dubious, but the introduction
of bio_advance made it much more likely to be a problem.
2/ When preparing some blocks for sync, we don't set BIO_UPTODATE
except on bios that we schedule for a read. This ensures that
missing/failed devices don't confuse the loop at the top of
sync_request write.
Commit 8be185f2c9d54d6 "raid10: Use bio_reset()"
removed a loop which set BIO_UPTDATE on all appropriate bios.
So we need to re-add that flag.
These bugs were introduced in 3.10, so this patch is suitable for
3.10-stable, and can remove a potential for data corruption.

commit 1376512065b23f39d5f9a160948f313397dde972 upstream.
The recent comment:
commit 7e83ccbecd608b971f340e951c9e84cd0343002f
md/raid10: Allow skipping recovery when clean arrays are assembled
Causes raid10 to skip a recovery in certain cases where it is safe to
do so. Unfortunately it also causes a reshape to be skipped which is
never safe. The result is that an attempt to reshape a RAID10 will
appear to complete instantly, but no data will have been moves so the
array will now contain garbage.
(If nothing is written, you can recovery by simple performing the
reverse reshape which will also complete instantly).
Bug was introduced in 3.10, so this is suitable for 3.10-stable.

Pull md bugfixes from Neil Brown:
"A few bugfixes for md
Some tagged for -stable"
* tag 'md-3.10-fixes' of git://neil.brown.name/md:
md/raid1,5,10: Disable WRITE SAME until a recovery strategy is in place
md/raid1,raid10: use freeze_array in place of raise_barrier in various places.
md/raid1: consider WRITE as successful only if at least one non-Faulty and non-rebuilding drive completed it.
md: md_stop_writes() should always freeze recovery.
|
|
There are cases where the kernel will believe that the WRITE SAME
command is supported by a block device which does not, in fact,
support WRITE SAME. This currently happens for SATA drivers behind a
SAS controller, but there are probably a hundred other ways that can
happen, including drive firmware bugs.
After receiving an error for WRITE SAME the block layer will retry the
request as a plain write of zeroes, but mdraid will consider the
failure as fatal and consider the drive failed. This has the effect
that all the mirrors containing a specific set of data are each
offlined in very rapid succession resulting in data loss.
However, just bouncing the request back up to the block layer isn't
ideal either, because the whole initial request-retry sequence should
be inside the write bitmap fence, which probably means that md needs
to do its own conversion of WRITE SAME to write zero.
Until the failure scenario has been sorted out, disable WRITE SAME for
raid1, raid5, and raid10.
[neilb: added raid5]
This patch is appropriate for any -stable since 3.7 when write_same
support was added.

Various places in raid1 and raid10 are calling raise_barrier when they
really should call freeze_array.
The former is only intended to be called from "make_request".
The later has extra checks for 'nr_queued' and makes a call to
flush_pending_writes(), so it is safe to call it from within the
management thread.
Using raise_barrier will sometimes deadlock. Using freeze_array
should not.
As 'freeze_array' currently expects one request to be pending (in
handle_read_error - the only previous caller), we need to pass
it the number of pending requests (extra) to ignore.
The deadlock was made particularly noticeable by commits
050b66152f87c7 (raid10) and 6b740b8d79252f13 (raid1) which
appeared in 3.4, so the fix is appropriate for any -stable
kernel since then.
This patch probably won't apply directly to some early kernels and
will need to be applied by hand.

non-rebuilding drive completed it.
Without that fix, the following scenario could happen:
- RAID1 with drives A and B; drive B was freshly-added and is rebuilding
- Drive A fails
- WRITE request arrives to the array. It is failed by drive A, so
r1_bio is marked as R1BIO_WriteError, but the rebuilding drive B
succeeds in writing it, so the same r1_bio is marked as
R1BIO_Uptodate.
- r1_bio arrives to handle_write_finished, badblocks are disabled,
md_error()->error() does nothing because we don't fail the last drive
of raid1
- raid_end_bio_io() calls call_bio_endio()
- As a result, in call_bio_endio():
if (!test_bit(R1BIO_Uptodate, &r1_bio->state))
clear_bit(BIO_UPTODATE, &bio->bi_flags);
this code doesn't clear the BIO_UPTODATE flag, and the whole master
WRITE succeeds, back to the upper layer.
So we returned success to the upper layer, even though we had written
the data onto the rebuilding drive only. But when we want to read the
data back, we would not read from the rebuilding drive, so this data
is lost.
[neilb - applied identical change to raid10 as well]
This bug can result in lost data, so it is suitable for any
-stable kernel.

__md_stop_writes() will currently sometimes freeze recovery.
So any caller must be ready for that to happen, and indeed they are.
However if __md_stop_writes() doesn't freeze_recovery, then
a recovery could start before mddev_suspend() is called, which
could be awkward. This can particularly cause problems or dm-raid.
So change __md_stop_writes() to always freeze recovery. This is safe
and more predicatable.

If device_not_write_same_capable() returns true then the iterate_devices
loop in dm_table_supports_write_same() should return false.

This patch uses memalloc_noio_save to avoid a possible deadlock in
dm-bufio. (it could happen only with large block size, at most
PAGE_SIZE << MAX_ORDER (typically 8MiB).
__vmalloc doesn't fully respect gfp flags. The specified gfp flags are
used for allocation of requested pages, structures vmap_area, vmap_block
and vm_struct and the radix tree nodes.
However, the kernel pagetables are allocated always with GFP_KERNEL.
Thus the allocation of pagetables can recurse back to the I/O layer and
cause a deadlock.
This patch uses the function memalloc_noio_save to set per-process
PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO flag and the function memalloc_noio_restore to restore
it. When this flag is set, all allocations in the process are done with
implied GFP_NOIO flag, thus the deadlock can't happen.
This should be backported to stable kernels, but they don't have the
PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO flag and memalloc_noio_save/memalloc_noio_restore
functions. So, PF_MEMALLOC should be set and restored instead.

Fix a regression in the calculation of the stripe_width in the
dm stripe target which led to incorrect processing of device limits.
The stripe_width is the stripe device length divided by the number of
stripes. The group of commits in the range f14fa69 ("dm stripe: fix
size test") to eb850de ("dm stripe: support for non power of 2
chunksize") interfered with each other (a merging error) and led to the
stripe_width being set incorrectly to the stripe device length divided by
chunk_size * stripe_count.
For example, a stripe device's table with: 0 33553920 striped 3 512 ...
should result in a stripe_width of 11184640 (33553920 / 3), but due to
the bug it was getting set to 21845 (33553920 / (512 * 3)).
The impact of this bug is that device topologies that previously worked
fine with the stripe target are no longer considered valid. In
particular, there is a higher risk of seeing this issue if one of the
stripe devices has a 4K logical block size. Resulting in an error
message like this:
"device-mapper: table: 253:4: len=21845 not aligned to h/w logical block size 4096 of dm-1"
The fix is to swap the order of the divisions and to use a temporary
variable for the second one, so that width retains the intended
value.
