<id>urn:sha1:a7f79052d1afc2a80a81f45e15e0d741ba15dc2b</id>
<content type='text'>
commit ad6bf88a6c19a39fb3b0045d78ea880325dfcf15 upstream.

Logical block size has type unsigned short. That means that it can be at
most 32768. However, there are architectures that can run with 64k pages
(for example arm64) and on these architectures, it may be possible to
create block devices with 64k block size.

For exmaple (run this on an architecture with 64k pages):

Mount will fail with this error because it tries to read the superblock using 2-sector
access:
  device-mapper: writecache: I/O is not aligned, sector 2, size 1024, block size 65536
  EXT4-fs (dm-0): unable to read superblock

This patch changes the logical block size from unsigned short to unsigned
int to avoid the overflow.

<id>urn:sha1:a12c768df372747ebe0551fbc386b701f02c2b0b</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 775d78319f1ceb32be8eb3b1202ccdc60e9cb7f1 upstream.

If pers-&gt;make_request fails in md_flush_request(), the bio is lost. To
fix this, pass back a bool to indicate if the original make_request call
should continue to handle the I/O and instead of assuming the flush logic
will push it to completion.

Convert md_flush_request to return a bool and no longer calls the raid
driver's make_request function.  If the return is true, then the md flush
logic has or will complete the bio and the md make_request call is done.
If false, then the md make_request function needs to keep processing like
it is a normal bio. Let the original call to md_handle_request handle any
need to retry sending the bio to the raid driver's make_request function
should it be needed.

Also mark md_flush_request and the make_request function pointer as
__must_check to issue warnings should these critical return values be
ignored.

Fixes: 2bc13b83e629 ("md: batch flush requests.")

[ Upstream commit c84a1372df929033cb1a0441fb57bd3932f39ac9 ]

If the drives in a RAID0 are not all the same size, the array is
divided into zones.
The first zone covers all drives, to the size of the smallest.
The second zone covers all drives larger than the smallest, up to
the size of the second smallest - etc.

A change in Linux 3.14 unintentionally changed the layout for the
second and subsequent zones.  All the correct data is still stored, but
each chunk may be assigned to a different device than in pre-3.14 kernels.
This can lead to data corruption.

It is not possible to determine what layout to use - it depends which
kernel the data was written by.
So we add a module parameter to allow the old (0) or new (1) layout to be
specified, and refused to assemble an affected array if that parameter is
not set.

<title>md/raid0: Do not bypass blocking queue entered for raid0 bios</title>

<id>urn:sha1:869eec894663f6ef48859e4f86bd7e62daf2345a</id>
<content type='text'>
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This patch is not on mainline and is meant to 4.19 stable *only*.
After the patch description there's a reasoning about that.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Commit cd4a4ae4683d ("block: don't use blocking queue entered for
recursive bio submits") introduced the flag BIO_QUEUE_ENTERED in order
split bios bypass the blocking queue entering routine and use the live
non-blocking version. It was a result of an extensive discussion in
a linux-block thread[0], and the purpose of this change was to prevent
a hung task waiting on a reference to drop.

Happens that md raid0 split bios all the time, and more important,
it changes their underlying device to the raid member. After the change
introduced by this flag's usage, we experience various crashes if a raid0
member is removed during a large write. This happens because the bio
reaches the live queue entering function when the queue of the raid0
member is dying.

A simple reproducer of this behavior is presented below:
a) Build kernel v4.19.56-stable with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING=y.

b) Create a raid0 md array with 2 NVMe devices as members, and mount
it with an ext4 filesystem.

c) Run the following oneliner (supposing the raid0 is mounted in /mnt):
(dd of=/mnt/tmp if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=999 &amp;); sleep 0.3;
echo 1 &gt; /sys/block/nvme1n1/device/device/remove
(whereas nvme1n1 is the 2nd array member)

This will trigger the following warning/oops:

------------[ cut here ]------------
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000155
PGD 0 P4D 0
Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI

This patch changes raid0 driver to fallback to the "old" blocking queue
entering procedure, by clearing the BIO_QUEUE_ENTERED from raid0 bios.
This prevents the crashes and restores the regular behavior of raid0
arrays when a member is removed during a large write.

----------------------------
Why this is not on mainline?
----------------------------

The patch was originally submitted upstream in linux-raid and
linux-block mailing-lists - it was initially accepted by Song Liu,
but Christoph Hellwig[1] observed that there was a clean-up series
ready to be accepted from Ming Lei[2] that fixed the same issue.

The accepted patches from Ming's series in upstream are: commit
47cdee29ef9d ("block: move blk_exit_queue into __blk_release_queue") and
commit fe2008640ae3 ("block: don't protect generic_make_request_checks
with blk_queue_enter"). Those patches basically do a clean-up in the
block layer involving:

1) Putting back blk_exit_queue() logic into __blk_release_queue(); that
path was changed in the past and the logic from blk_exit_queue() was
added to blk_cleanup_queue().

2) Removing the guard/protection in generic_make_request_checks() with
blk_queue_enter().

The problem with Ming's series for -stable is that it relies in the
legacy request IO path removal. So it's "backport-able" to v5.0+,
but doing that for early versions (like 4.19) would incur in complex
code changes. Hence, it was suggested by Christoph and Song Liu that
this patch was submitted to stable only; otherwise merging it upstream
would add code to fix a path removed in a subsequent commit.

<content type='text'>
The kzalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kcalloc(). This
patch replaces cases of:

        kzalloc(a * b, gfp)

with:
        kcalloc(a * b, gfp)

as well as handling cases of:

        kzalloc(a * b * c, gfp)

with:

        kzalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)

as it's slightly less ugly than:

        kzalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp)

This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:

        kzalloc(4 * 1024, gfp)

though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.

The Coccinelle script used for this was:

This patch has been generated as follows:

for verb in set_unlocked clear_unlocked set clear; do
  replace-in-files queue_flag_${verb} blk_queue_flag_${verb%_unlocked} \
    $(git grep -lw queue_flag_${verb} drivers block/bsg*)
done

Except for protecting all queue flag changes with the queue lock
this patch does not change any functionality.

The '2' argument means "wake up anything that is waiting".
This is an inelegant part of the design and was added
to help support management of suspend_lo/suspend_hi setting.
Now that suspend_lo/hi is managed in mddev_suspend/resume,
that need is gone.
These is still a couple of places where we call 'quiesce'
with an argument of '2', but they can safely be changed to
call -&gt;quiesce(.., 1); -&gt;quiesce(.., 0) which
achieve the same result at the small cost of pausing IO
briefly.

This removes a small "optimization" from suspend_{hi,lo}_store,
but it isn't clear that optimization served a useful purpose.
The code now is a lot clearer.
