This is because cache_size_mutex was unlocked too early in resize_stripes,
which races with grow_one_stripe() that grow_one_stripe() allocates a
stripe with wrong pool_size.

Fix this issue by unlocking cache_size_mutex after updating pool_size.

<title>md/bitmap: md_bitmap_get_counter returns wrong blocks</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7a86fabaa63e441d5512d74aa8bd3e8e8edd8a0d</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit d837f7277f56e70d82b3a4a037d744854e62f387 ]

md_bitmap_get_counter() has code:

```
    if (bitmap-&gt;bp[page].hijacked ||
        bitmap-&gt;bp[page].map == NULL)
        csize = ((sector_t)1) &lt;&lt; (bitmap-&gt;chunkshift +
                      PAGE_COUNTER_SHIFT - 1);
```

The minus 1 is wrong, this branch should report 2048 bits of space.
With "-1" action, this only report 1024 bit of space.

This bug code returns wrong blocks, but it doesn't inflence bitmap logic:
1. Most callers focus this function return value (the counter of offset),
   not the parameter blocks.
2. The bug is only triggered when hijacked is true or map is NULL.
   the hijacked true condition is very rare.
   the "map == null" only true when array is creating or resizing.
3. Even the caller gets wrong blocks, current code makes caller just to
   call md_bitmap_get_counter() one more time.

[ Upstream commit 34cf78bf34d48dddddfeeadb44f9841d7864997a ]

This patch fix a lost wake-up problem caused by the race between
mca_cannibalize_lock and bch_cannibalize_unlock.

Consider two processes, A and B. Process A is executing
mca_cannibalize_lock, while process B takes c-&gt;btree_cache_alloc_lock
and is executing bch_cannibalize_unlock. The problem happens that after
process A executes cmpxchg and will execute prepare_to_wait. In this
timeslice process B executes wake_up, but after that process A executes
prepare_to_wait and set the state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE. Then process A
goes to sleep but no one will wake up it. This problem may cause bcache
device to dead.

commit 5fe48867856367142d91a82f2cbf7a57a24cbb70 upstream.

There are some meta data of bcache are allocated by multiple pages,
and they are used as bio bv_page for I/Os to the cache device. for
example cache_set-&gt;uuids, cache-&gt;disk_buckets, journal_write-&gt;data,
bset_tree-&gt;data.

For such meta data memory, all the allocated pages should be treated
as a single memory block. Then the memory management and underlying I/O
code can treat them more clearly.

This patch adds __GFP_COMP flag to all the location allocating &gt;0 order
pages for the above mentioned meta data. Then their pages are treated
as compound pages now.

<content type='text'>
commit a1c6ae3d9f3dd6aa5981a332a6f700cf1c25edef upstream.

In degraded raid5, we need to read parity to do reconstruct-write when
data disks fail. However, we can not read parity from
handle_stripe_dirtying() in force reconstruct-write mode.

Reproducible Steps:

1. Create degraded raid5
mdadm -C /dev/md2 --assume-clean -l5 -n3 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb2 missing
2. Set rmw_level to 0
echo 0 &gt; /sys/block/md2/md/rmw_level
3. IO to raid5

Now some io may be stuck in raid5. We can use handle_stripe_fill() to read
the parity in this situation.

<title>bcache: fix super block seq numbers comparision in register_cache_set()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1d73cc4471676d30cf5b43290c86ca7cb88f0a17</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 117f636ea695270fe492d0c0c9dfadc7a662af47 ]

In register_cache_set(), c is pointer to struct cache_set, and ca is
pointer to struct cache, if ca-&gt;sb.seq &gt; c-&gt;sb.seq, it means this
registering cache has up to date version and other members, the in-
memory version and other members should be updated to the newer value.

But current implementation makes a cache set only has a single cache
device, so the above assumption works well except for a special case.
The execption is when a cache device new created and both ca-&gt;sb.seq and
c-&gt;sb.seq are 0, because the super block is never flushed out yet. In
the location for the following if() check,
2156         if (ca-&gt;sb.seq &gt; c-&gt;sb.seq) {
2157                 c-&gt;sb.version           = ca-&gt;sb.version;
2158                 memcpy(c-&gt;sb.set_uuid, ca-&gt;sb.set_uuid, 16);
2159                 c-&gt;sb.flags             = ca-&gt;sb.flags;
2160                 c-&gt;sb.seq               = ca-&gt;sb.seq;
2161                 pr_debug("set version = %llu\n", c-&gt;sb.version);
2162         }
c-&gt;sb.version is not initialized yet and valued 0. When ca-&gt;sb.seq is 0,
the if() check will fail (because both values are 0), and the cache set
version, set_uuid, flags and seq won't be updated.

The above problem is hiden for current code, because the bucket size is
compatible among different super block version. And the next time when
running cache set again, ca-&gt;sb.seq will be larger than 0 and cache set
super block version will be updated properly.

But if the large bucket feature is enabled,  sb-&gt;bucket_size is the low
16bits of the bucket size. For a power of 2 value, when the actual
bucket size exceeds 16bit width, sb-&gt;bucket_size will always be 0. Then
read_super_common() will fail because the if() check to
is_power_of_2(sb-&gt;bucket_size) is false. This is how the long time
hidden bug is triggered.

This patch modifies the if() check to the following way,
2156         if (ca-&gt;sb.seq &gt; c-&gt;sb.seq || c-&gt;sb.seq == 0) {
Then cache set's version, set_uuid, flags and seq will always be updated
corectly including for a new created cache device.

[ Upstream commit be23e837333a914df3f24bf0b32e87b0331ab8d1 ]

coccicheck reports:
  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.

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.
