[ Upstream commit ef87bfc24f9b8da82c89aff493df20f078bc9cb1 ]

Reference to a device in device-mapper table contains offset in sectors.

If the sector_t is 32bit integer (CONFIG_LBDAF is not set), then
several device-mapper targets can overflow this offset and validity
check is then performed on a wrong offset and a wrong table is activated.

See for example (on 32bit without CONFIG_LBDAF) this overflow:

  # dmsetup create test --table "0 2048 linear /dev/sdg 4294967297"
  # dmsetup table test
  0 2048 linear 8:96 1

This patch adds explicit check for overflow if the offset is sector_t type.

dm_kcopyd_copy() only ever returns 0 so there is no need for callers to
account for possible failure.  Same goes for dm_kcopyd_zero().

<title>dm mirror: remove VLA usage</title>

<content type='text'>
On the quest to remove all VLAs from the kernel[1], this avoids VLAs
in dm-raid1.c by just using the maximum size for the stack arrays.
The nr_mirrors value was already capped at 9, so this makes it a trivial
adjustment to the array sizes.

In preparation for unconditionally passing the struct timer_list pointer to
all timer callbacks, switch to using the new timer_setup() and from_timer()
to pass the timer pointer explicitly.

<title>block: replace bi_bdev with a gendisk pointer and partitions index</title>

<id>urn:sha1:74d46992e0d9dee7f1f376de0d56d31614c8a17a</id>
<content type='text'>
This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O.  The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open.  Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).

For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device.  But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.

Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
over the stack.

<content type='text'>
Pull core block/IO updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the main pull request for the block layer for 4.13. Not a huge
  round in terms of features, but there's a lot of churn related to some
  core cleanups.

  Note this depends on the UUID tree pull request, that Christoph
  already sent out.

  This pull request contains:

   - A series from Christoph, unifying the error/stats codes in the
     block layer. We now use blk_status_t everywhere, instead of using
     different schemes for different places.

   - Also from Christoph, some cleanups around request allocation and IO
     scheduler interactions in blk-mq.

   - And yet another series from Christoph, cleaning up how we handle
     and do bounce buffering in the block layer.

   - A blk-mq debugfs series from Bart, further improving on the support
     we have for exporting internal information to aid debugging IO
     hangs or stalls.

   - Also from Bart, a series that cleans up the request initialization
     differences across types of devices.

   - A series from Goldwyn Rodrigues, allowing the block layer to return
     failure if we will block and the user asked for non-blocking.

   - Patch from Hannes for supporting setting loop devices block size to
     that of the underlying device.

   - Two series of patches from Javier, fixing various issues with
     lightnvm, particular around pblk.

   - A series from me, adding support for write hints. This comes with
     NVMe support as well, so applications can help guide data placement
     on flash to improve performance, latencies, and write
     amplification.

   - A series from Ming, improving and hardening blk-mq support for
     stopping/starting and quiescing hardware queues.

   - Two pull requests for NVMe updates. Nothing major on the feature
     side, but lots of cleanups and bug fixes. From the usual crew.

   - A series from Neil Brown, greatly improving the bio rescue set
     support. Most notably, this kills the bio rescue work queues, if we
     don't really need them.

   - Lots of other little bug fixes that are all over the place"

This reverts commit 12a7cf5ba6c776a2621d8972c7d42e8d3d959d20.

This commit apparently attempted to fix an issue that didn't really
exist, furthermore: this commit is the source of deadlocks and crashes
seen in multiple cases related to failing the primary mirror dev while
syncing.

We've already got a few conflicts and upcoming work depends on some of the
changes that have gone into mainline as regression fixes for this series.

Pull in 4.12-rc5 to resolve these conflicts and make it easier on down stream
trees to continue working on 4.13 changes.

Replace bi_error with a new bi_status to allow for a clear conversion.
Note that device mapper overloaded bi_error with a private value, which
we'll have to keep arround at least for now and thus propagate to a
proper blk_status_t value.
