[ Upstream commit e820d55cb99dd93ac2dc949cf486bb187e5cd70d ]

When both regular IO and resync IO happen at the same time,
and if we also need to split regular. Then we can see tasks
hang due to barrier.

So resync io is waiting for regular write io to complete to
decrease nr_pending (conf-&gt;barrier++ is called before waiting).
The regular write io splits another bio after call wait_barrier
which call nr_pending++, then the splitted bio would continue
with raid10_write_request -&gt; wait_barrier, so the splitted bio
has to wait for barrier to be zero, then deadlock happens as
follows.

	resync io		regular io

	raise_barrier
				wait_barrier
				generic_make_request
				wait_barrier

To resolve the issue, we need to call allow_barrier to decrease
nr_pending before generic_make_request since regular IO is not
issued to underlying devices, and wait_barrier is called again
to ensure no internal IO happening.

commit 483cbbeddd5fe2c80fd4141ff0748fa06c4ff146 upstream.

This fixes the case when md array assembly fails because of raid cache recovery
unable to allocate a stripe, despite attempts to replay stripes and increase
cache size. This happens because stripes released by r5c_recovery_replay_stripes
and raid5_set_cache_size don't become available for allocation immediately.
Released stripes first are placed on conf-&gt;released_stripes list and require
md thread to merge them on conf-&gt;inactive_list before they can be allocated.

Patch allows final allocation attempt during cache recovery to wait for
new stripes to become availabe for allocation.

commit 1856b9f7bcc8e9bdcccc360aabb56fbd4dd6c565 upstream.

The dm-crypt cipher specification in a mapping table is defined as:
  cipher[:keycount]-chainmode-ivmode[:ivopts]
or (new crypt API format):
  capi:cipher_api_spec-ivmode[:ivopts]

For ESSIV, the parameter includes hash specification, for example:
aes-cbc-essiv:sha256

The implementation expected that additional IV option to never include
another dash '-' character.

But, with SHA3, there are names like sha3-256; so the mapping table
parser fails:

dmsetup create test --table "0 8 crypt aes-cbc-essiv:sha3-256 9c1185a5c5e9fc54612808977ee8f5b9e 0 /dev/sdb 0"
  or (new crypt API format)
dmsetup create test --table "0 8 crypt capi:cbc(aes)-essiv:sha3-256 9c1185a5c5e9fc54612808977ee8f5b9e 0 /dev/sdb 0"

  device-mapper: crypt: Ignoring unexpected additional cipher options
  device-mapper: table: 253:0: crypt: Error creating IV
  device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table

Fix the dm-crypt constructor to ignore additional dash in IV options and
also remove a bogus warning (that is ignored anyway).

commit d445bd9cec1a850c2100fcf53684c13b3fd934f2 upstream.

Commit 00a0ea33b495 ("dm thin: do not queue freed thin mapping for next
stage processing") changed process_prepared_discard_passdown_pt1() to
increment all the blocks being discarded until after the passdown had
completed to avoid them being prematurely reused.

IO issued to a thin device that breaks sharing with a snapshot, followed
by a discard issued to snapshot(s) that previously shared the block(s),
results in passdown_double_checking_shared_status() being called to
iterate through the blocks double checking their reference count is zero
and issuing the passdown if so.  So a side effect of commit 00a0ea33b495
is passdown_double_checking_shared_status() was broken.

Fix this by checking if the block reference count is greater than 1.
Also, rename dm_pool_block_is_used() to dm_pool_block_is_shared().

[ Upstream commit 721b1d98fb517ae99ab3b757021cf81db41e67be ]

kcopyd has no upper limit to the number of jobs one can allocate and
issue. Under certain workloads this can lead to excessive memory usage
and workqueue stalls. For example, when creating multiple dm-snapshot
targets with a 4K chunk size and then writing to the origin through the
page cache. Syncing the page cache causes a large number of BIOs to be
issued to the dm-snapshot origin target, which itself issues an even
larger (because of the BIO splitting taking place) number of kcopyd
jobs.

Running the following test, from the device mapper test suite [1],

  dmtest run --suite snapshot -n many_snapshots_of_same_volume_N

, with 8 active snapshots, results in the kcopyd job slab cache growing
to 10G. Depending on the available system RAM this can lead to the OOM
killer killing user processes:

Moreover, issuing a large number of kcopyd jobs results in kcopyd
hogging the CPU, while processing them. As a result, processing of work
items, queued for execution on the same CPU as the currently running
kcopyd thread, is stalled for long periods of time, hurting performance.
Running the aforementioned test we get, in dmesg, messages like the
following:

The root cause for these issues is the way dm-snapshot uses kcopyd. In
particular, the lack of an explicit or implicit limit to the maximum
number of in-flight COW jobs. The merging path is not affected because
it implicitly limits the in-flight kcopyd jobs to one.

Fix these issues by using a semaphore to limit the maximum number of
in-flight kcopyd jobs. We grab the semaphore before allocating a new
kcopyd job in start_copy() and start_full_bio() and release it after the
job finishes in copy_callback().

The initial semaphore value is configurable through a module parameter,
to allow fine tuning the maximum number of in-flight COW jobs. Setting
this parameter to zero initializes the semaphore to INT_MAX.

A default value of 2048 maximum in-flight kcopyd jobs was chosen. This
value was decided experimentally as a trade-off between memory
consumption, stalling the kernel's workqueues and maintaining a high
enough throughput.

Re-running the aforementioned test:

  * Workqueue stalls are eliminated
  * kcopyd's job slab cache uses a maximum of 130MB
  * The time taken by the test to write to the snapshot-origin target is
    reduced from 05m20.48s to 03m26.38s

[ Upstream commit d7e6b8dfc7bcb3f4f3a18313581f67486a725b52 ]

When using kcopyd to run callbacks through dm_kcopyd_do_callback() or
submitting copy jobs with a source size of 0, the jobs are pushed
directly to the complete_jobs list, which could be under processing by
the kcopyd thread. As a result, the kcopyd thread can continue running
completed jobs indefinitely, without releasing the CPU, as long as
someone keeps submitting new completed jobs through the aforementioned
paths. Processing of work items, queued for execution on the same CPU as
the currently running kcopyd thread, is thus stalled for excessive
amounts of time, hurting performance.

Running the following test, from the device mapper test suite [1],

  dmtest run --suite snapshot -n parallel_io_to_many_snaps_N

, with 8 active snapshots, we get, in dmesg, messages like the
following:

[68899.948523] BUG: workqueue lockup - pool cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 stuck for 95s!

Fix this by splitting the complete_jobs list into two parts: A user
facing part, named callback_jobs, and one used internally by kcopyd,
retaining the name complete_jobs. dm_kcopyd_do_callback() and
dispatch_job() now push their jobs to the callback_jobs list, which is
spliced to the complete_jobs list once, every time the kcopyd thread
wakes up. This prevents kcopyd from hogging the CPU indefinitely and
causing workqueue stalls.

Re-running the aforementioned test:

  * Workqueue stalls are eliminated
  * The maximum writing time among all targets is reduced from 09m37.10s
    to 06m04.85s and the total run time of the test is reduced from
    10m43.591s to 7m19.199s

<title>dm crypt: use u64 instead of sector_t to store iv_offset</title>

[ Upstream commit 8d683dcd65c037efc9fb38c696ec9b65b306e573 ]

The iv_offset in the mapping table of crypt target is a 64bit number when
IV algorithm is plain64, plain64be, essiv or benbi. It will be assigned to
iv_offset of struct crypt_config, cc_sector of struct convert_context and
iv_sector of struct dm_crypt_request. These structures members are defined
as a sector_t. But sector_t is 32bit when CONFIG_LBDAF is not set in 32bit
kernel. In this situation sector_t is not big enough to store the 64bit
iv_offset.

Here is a reproducer.
Prepare test image and device (loop is automatically allocated by cryptsetup):

  # dd if=/dev/zero of=tst.img bs=1M count=1
  # echo "tst"|cryptsetup open --type plain -c aes-xts-plain64 \
  --skip 500000000000000000 tst.img test

On 32bit system (use IV offset value that overflows to 64bit; CONFIG_LBDAF if off)
and device checksum is wrong:

  # dmsetup table test --showkeys
  0 2048 crypt aes-xts-plain64 dfa7cfe3c481f2239155739c42e539ae8f2d38f304dcc89d20b26f69daaf0933 3551657984 7:0 0

  # sha256sum /dev/mapper/test
  533e25c09176632b3794f35303488c4a8f3f965dffffa6ec2df347c168cb6c19 /dev/mapper/test

On 64bit system (and on 32bit system with the patch), table and checksum is now correct:

  # dmsetup table test --showkeys
  0 2048 crypt aes-xts-plain64 dfa7cfe3c481f2239155739c42e539ae8f2d38f304dcc89d20b26f69daaf0933 500000000000000000 7:0 0

<title>dm zoned: Fix target BIO completion handling</title>

commit d57f9da890696af1484f4a47f7f123560197865a upstream.

struct bioctx includes the ref refcount_t to track the number of I/O
fragments used to process a target BIO as well as ensure that the zone
of the BIO is kept in the active state throughout the lifetime of the
BIO. However, since decrementing of this reference count is done in the
target .end_io method, the function bio_endio() must be called multiple
times for read and write target BIOs, which causes problems with the
value of the __bi_remaining struct bio field for chained BIOs (e.g. the
clone BIO passed by dm core is large and splits into fragments by the
block layer), resulting in incorrect values and inconsistencies with the
BIO_CHAIN flag setting. This is turn triggers the BUG_ON() call:

BUG_ON(atomic_read(&amp;bio-&gt;__bi_remaining) &lt;= 0);

in bio_remaining_done() called from bio_endio().

Fix this ensuring that bio_endio() is called only once for any target
BIO by always using internal clone BIOs for processing any read or
write target BIO. This allows reference counting using the target BIO
context counter to trigger the target BIO completion bio_endio() call
once all data, metadata and other zone work triggered by the BIO
complete.

Overall, this simplifies the code too as the target .end_io becomes
unnecessary and differences between read and write BIO issuing and
completion processing disappear.

<title>dm verity: fix crash on bufio buffer that was allocated with vmalloc</title>

commit e4b069e0945fa14c71cf8b5b89f8b1b2aa68dbc2 upstream.

Since commit d1ac3ff008fb ("dm verity: switch to using asynchronous hash
crypto API") dm-verity uses asynchronous crypto calls for verification,
so that it can use hardware with asynchronous processing of crypto
operations.

These asynchronous calls don't support vmalloc memory, but the buffer data
can be allocated with vmalloc if dm-bufio is short of memory and uses a
reserved buffer that was preallocated in dm_bufio_client_create().

Fix verity_hash_update() so that it deals with vmalloc'd memory
correctly.

commit 584ed9fa9532f8b9d5955628ff87ee3b2ab9f5a9 upstream.

The raid10 driver can't be built with clang since it uses a variable
length array in a structure (VLAIS):

drivers/md/raid10.c:4583:17: error: fields must have a constant size:
  'variable length array in structure' extension will never be supported

Allocate the r10bio struct with kmalloc instead of using the VLAIS
construct.
