Upon assembling the array, both kernel and mdadm allow the devices to have event
counter difference of 1, and still consider them as up-to-date.
However, a device whose event count is behind by 1, may in fact not be up-to-date,
and array resync with such a device may cause data corruption.
To avoid this, consult the superblock of the freshest device about the status
of a device, whose event counter is behind by 1.

New mddev_resume() calls are added to synchronize IO with array
reconfiguration, however, this introduces a performance regression while
adding it in md_start_sync():
1) someone sets MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED first;
2) daemon thread grabs reconfig_mutex, then clears MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED and
queues a new sync work;
3) daemon thread releases reconfig_mutex;
4) in md_start_sync
a) check that there are spares that can be added/removed, then suspend
the array;
b) remove_and_add_spares may not be called, or called without really
add/remove spares;
c) resume the array, then set MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED again!
Loop between 2 - 4, then mddev_suspend() will be called quite often, for
consequence, normal IO will be quite slow.
Fix this problem by don't set MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED again in md_start_sync(),
hence the loop will be broken.

md: fix stopping sync thread
md: don't leave 'MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN' in error path of md_set_readonly()
md: fix missing flush of sync_work
Currently sync thread is stopped from multiple contex:
- idle_sync_thread
- frozen_sync_thread
- __md_stop_writes
- md_set_readonly
- do_md_stop
And there are some problems:
1) sync_work is flushed while reconfig_mutex is grabbed, this can
deadlock because the work function will grab reconfig_mutex as well.
2) md_reap_sync_thread() can't be called directly while md_do_sync() is
not finished yet, for example, commit 130443d60b1b ("md: refactor
idle/frozen_sync_thread() to fix deadlock").
3) If MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING is not set, there is no need to stop
sync_thread at all because sync_thread must not be registered.
Factor out a helper stop_sync_thread(), so that above contex will behave
the same. Fix 1) by flushing sync_work after reconfig_mutex is released,
before waiting for sync_thread to be done; Fix 2) bt letting daemon thread
to unregister sync_thread; Fix 3) by always checking MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING
first.

If md_set_readonly() failed, the array could still be read-write, however
'MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN' could still be set, which leave the array in an
abnormal state that sync or recovery can't continue anymore.
Hence make sure the flag is cleared after md_set_readonly() returns.

use a new sync_work to replace del_work, however, stop_sync_thread() and

they should switch to use sync_work as well.
Noted that md_start_sync() from sync_work will grab 'reconfig_mutex',

During a reshape or a RAID6 array such as expanding by adding an additional
disk, I/Os to the region of the array which have not yet been reshaped can
stall indefinitely. This is from errors in the stripe_ahead_of_reshape
function causing md to think the I/O is to a region in the actively
undergoing the reshape.
stripe_ahead_of_reshape fails to account for the q disk having a sector
value of 0. By not excluding the q disk from the for loop, raid6 will always
generate a min_sector value of 0, causing a return value which stalls.
The function's max_sector calculation also uses min() when it should use
max(), causing the max_sector value to always be 0. During a backwards
rebuild this can cause the opposite problem where it allows I/O to advance
when it should wait.
Fixing these errors will allow safe I/O to advance in a timely manner and
delay only I/O which is unsafe due to stripes in the middle of undergoing
the reshape.

Fixes: a739ff3f543a ("dm verity: add support for forward error correction")
Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@kernel.org>
We found an issue under Android OTA scenario that many BIOs have to do
FEC where the data under dm-verity is 100% complete and no corruption.
Android OTA has many dm-block layers, from upper to lower:
dm-verity
dm-snapshot
dm-origin & dm-cow
dm-linear
ufs
DM tables have to change 2 times during Android OTA merging process.
When doing table change, the dm-snapshot will be suspended for a while.
During this interval, many readahead IOs are submitted to dm_verity
from filesystem. Then the kverity works are busy doing FEC process
which cost too much time to finish dm-verity IO. This causes needless
delay which feels like system is hung.
After adding debugging it was found that each readahead IO needed
around 10s to finish when this situation occurred. This is due to IO
amplification:
dm-snapshot suspend
erofs_readahead // 300+ io is submitted
dm_submit_bio (dm_verity)
dm_submit_bio (dm_snapshot)
bio return EIO
bio got nothing, it's empty
verity_end_io
verity_verify_io
forloop range(0, io->n_blocks) // each io->nblocks ~= 20
verity_fec_decode
fec_decode_rsb
fec_read_bufs
forloop range(0, v->fec->rsn) // v->fec->rsn = 253
new_read
submit_bio (dm_snapshot)
end loop
end loop
dm-snapshot resume
Readahead BIOs get nothing while dm-snapshot is suspended, so all of
them will cause verity's FEC.
Each readahead BIO needs to verify ~20 (io->nblocks) blocks.
Each block needs to do FEC, and every block needs to do 253
(v->fec->rsn) reads.
So during the suspend interval(~200ms), 300 readahead BIOs trigger
~1518000 (300*20*253) IOs to dm-snapshot.
As readahead IO is not required by userspace, and to fix this issue,
it is best to pass readahead errors to upper layer to handle it.

Because it's safe to accees rdev from conf:
- If any spinlock is held, because synchronize_rcu() from
md_kick_rdev_from_array() will prevent 'rdev' to be freed until
spinlock is released;
- If 'reconfig_lock' is held, because rdev can't be added or removed from
array;
- If there is normal IO inflight, because mddev_suspend() will prevent
rdev to be added or removed from array;
- If there is sync IO inflight, because 'MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING' is
checked in remove_and_add_spares().
And these will cover all the scenarios in raid10.
This patch also cleanup the code to handle the case that replacement
replace rdev while IO is still inflight.

rcu is not used correctly here, because synchronize_rcu() is called
before replacing old value, for example:
remove_and_add_spares // other path
synchronize_rcu
// called before replacing old value
set_bit(RemoveSynchronized)
rcu_read_lock()
rdev = conf->mirros[].rdev
pers->hot_remove_disk
conf->mirros[].rdev = NULL;
if (!test_bit(RemoveSynchronized))
synchronize_rcu
/*
* won't be called, and won't wait
* for concurrent readers to be done.
*/
// access rdev after remove_and_add_spares()
rcu_read_unlock()
Fortunately, there is a separate rcu protection to prevent such rdev
to be freed:
md_kick_rdev_from_array //other path
rcu_read_lock()
rdev = conf->mirros[].rdev
list_del_rcu(&rdev->same_set)
rcu_read_unlock()
/*
* rdev can be removed from conf, but
* rdev won't be freed.
*/
synchronize_rcu()
free rdev
Hence remove this useless flag and prepare to remove rcu protection to
access rdev from 'conf'.

Control flow integrity is now checking that type signatures match on
indirect function calls. That breaks closures, which embed a work_struct
in a closure in such a way that a closure_fn may also be used as a
workqueue fn by the underlying closure code.
So we have to change closure fns to take a work_struct as their
argument - but that results in a loss of clarity, as closure fns have
different semantics from normal workqueue functions (they run owning a
ref on the closure, which must be released with continue_at() or
closure_return()).
Thus, this patc introduces CLOSURE_CALLBACK() and closure_type() macros
as suggested by Kees, to smooth things over a bit.

The crash occurred when call wake_up(&state->wait), and then we want
to look at the value in the state. However, bch_sectors_dirty_init()
is not found in the stack of any task. Since state is allocated on
the stack, we guess that bch_sectors_dirty_init() has exited, causing
bch_dirty_init_thread() to be unable to handle kernel paging request.
In order to verify this idea, we added some printing information during
wake_up(&state->wait). We find that "wake up" is printed twice, however
we only expect the last thread to wake up once.
```dmesg
[ 994.641004] alcache: bch_dirty_init_thread() wake up
[ 994.641018] alcache: bch_dirty_init_thread() wake up
[ 994.641523] alcache: bch_sectors_dirty_init() init exit
```
There is a race. If bch_sectors_dirty_init() exits after the first wake
up, the second wake up will trigger this bug("unable to handle kernel
paging request").
Proceed as follows:
bch_sectors_dirty_init
kthread_run ==============> bch_dirty_init_thread(bch_dirtcnt[0])
... ...
atomic_inc(&state.started) ...
... ...
atomic_read(&state.enough) ...
... atomic_set(&state->enough, 1)
kthread_run ======================================================> bch_dirty_init_thread(bch_dirtcnt[1])
... atomic_dec_and_test(&state->started) ...
atomic_inc(&state.started) ... ...
... wake_up(&state->wait) ...
atomic_read(&state.enough) atomic_dec_and_test(&state->started)
... ...
wait_event(state.wait, atomic_read(&state.started) == 0) ...
return ...
wake_up(&state->wait)
We believe it is very common to wake up twice if there is no dirty, but
crash is an extremely low probability event. It's hard for us to reproduce
this issue. We attached and detached continuously for a week, with a total
of more than one million attaches and only one crash.
Putting atomic_inc(&state.started) before kthread_run() can avoid waking
up twice.

We found that after long run, the dirty_data of the bcache device
will have errors. This error cannot be eliminated unless re-register.
We also found that reattach after detach, this error can accumulate.
In bch_sectors_dirty_init(), all inode <= d->id keys will be recounted
again. This is wrong, we only need to count the keys of the current
device.

In SHOW(), the variable 'n' is of type 'size_t.' While there is a
conditional check to verify that 'n' is not equal to zero before
executing the 'do_div' macro, concerns arise regarding potential
division by zero error in 64-bit environments.
The concern arises when 'n' is 64 bits in size, greater than zero, and
the lower 32 bits of it are zeros. In such cases, the conditional check
passes because 'n' is non-zero, but the 'do_div' macro casts 'n' to
'uint32_t,' effectively truncating it to its lower 32 bits.
Consequently, the 'n' value becomes zero.
To fix this potential division by zero error and ensure precise
division handling, this commit replaces the 'do_div' macro with
div64_u64(). div64_u64() is designed to work with 64-bit operands,
guaranteeing that division is performed correctly.
This change enhances the robustness of the code, ensuring that division
operations yield accurate results in all scenarios, eliminating the
possibility of division by zero, and improving compatibility across
different 64-bit environments.

Arraies bcache->stripe_sectors_dirty and bcache->full_dirty_stripes are
used for dirty data writeback, their sizes are decided by backing device
capacity and stripe size. Larger backing device capacity or smaller
stripe size make these two arraies occupies more dynamic memory space.
Currently bcache->stripe_size is directly inherited from
queue->limits.io_opt of underlying storage device. For normal hard
drives, its limits.io_opt is 0, and bcache sets the corresponding
stripe_size to 1TB (1<<31 sectors), it works fine 10+ years. But for
devices do declare value for queue->limits.io_opt, small stripe_size
(comparing to 1TB) becomes an issue for oversize memory allocations of
bcache->stripe_sectors_dirty and bcache->full_dirty_stripes, while the
capacity of hard drives gets much larger in recent decade.
For example a raid5 array assembled by three 20TB hardrives, the raid
device capacity is 40TB with typical 512KB limits.io_opt. After the math
calculation in bcache code, these two arraies will occupy 400MB dynamic
memory. Even worse Andrea Tomassetti reports that a 4KB limits.io_opt is
declared on a new 2TB hard drive, then these two arraies request 2GB and
512MB dynamic memory from kzalloc(). The result is that bcache device
always fails to initialize on his system.
To avoid the oversize memory allocation, bcache->stripe_size should not
directly inherited by queue->limits.io_opt from the underlying device.
This patch defines BCH_MIN_STRIPE_SZ (4MB) as minimal bcache stripe size
and set bcache device's stripe size against the declared limits.io_opt
value from the underlying storage device,
- If the declared limits.io_opt > BCH_MIN_STRIPE_SZ, bcache device will
set its stripe size directly by this limits.io_opt value.
- If the declared limits.io_opt < BCH_MIN_STRIPE_SZ, bcache device will
set its stripe size by a value multiplying limits.io_opt and euqal or
large than BCH_MIN_STRIPE_SZ.
Then the minimal stripe size of a bcache device will always be >= 4MB.
For a 40TB raid5 device with 512KB limits.io_opt, memory occupied by
bcache->stripe_sectors_dirty and bcache->full_dirty_stripes will be 50MB
in total. For a 2TB hard drive with 4KB limits.io_opt, memory occupied
by these two arraies will be 2.5MB in total.
Such mount of memory allocated for bcache->stripe_sectors_dirty and
bcache->full_dirty_stripes is reasonable for most of storage devices.

md_end_clone_io() may overwrite error status in orig_bio->bi_status with
BLK_STS_OK. This could happen when orig_bio has BIO_CHAIN (split by
md_submit_bio => bio_split_to_limits, for example). As a result, upper
layer may miss error reported from md (or the device) and consider the
failed IO was successful.
Fix this by only update orig_bio->bi_status when current bio reports
error and orig_bio is BLK_STS_OK. This is the same behavior as
__bio_chain_endio().

We have bdev_mark_dead() etc and we're going to move block device
freezing to holder ops in the next patch. Make the naming consistent:
* freeze_bdev() -> bdev_freeze()
* thaw_bdev() -> bdev_thaw()
Also document the return code.

Commit 23baf831a32c ("mm, treewide: redefine MAX_ORDER sanely")
changed the meaning of MAX_ORDER from exclusive to inclusive. So, we
can allocate compound pages with up to 1 << MAX_ORDER pages.
Reflect this change in dm-crypt and start trying to allocate compound
pages with MAX_ORDER.

The commit 5721d4e5a9cd enhanced dm-verity, so that it can verify blocks
from tasklets rather than from workqueues. This reportedly improves
performance significantly.
However, dm-verity was using the flag CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP from
tasklets which resulted in warnings about sleeping function being called
from non-sleeping context.

This commit fixes dm-verity so that it doesn't use the flags
CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP and CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG from tasklets. The
crypto API would do GFP_ATOMIC allocation instead, it could return -ENOMEM
and we catch -ENOMEM in verity_tasklet and requeue the request to the
workqueue.

dm-bufio has a no-sleep mode. When activated (with the
DM_BUFIO_CLIENT_NO_SLEEP flag), the bufio client is read-only and we
could call dm_bufio_get from tasklets. This is used by dm-verity.
Unfortunately, commit 450e8dee51aa ("dm bufio: improve concurrent IO
performance") broke this and the kernel would warn that cache_get()
was calling down_read() from no-sleeping context. The bug can be
reproduced by using "veritysetup open" with the "--use-tasklets"
flag.
This commit fixes dm-bufio, so that the tasklet mode works again, by
expanding use of the 'no_sleep_enabled' static_key to conditionally
use either a rw_semaphore or rwlock_t (which are colocated in the
buffer_tree structure using a union).

This is small refactoring of dm-delay - we avoid duplicate logic in
flush_delayed_bios and flush_delayed_bios_fast and join these two
functions into one.
We also add cond_resched() to flush_delayed_bios because the list may have
unbounded number of entries.

This commit fixes the following bugs introduced by commit 70bbeb29fab0
("dm delay: for short delays, use kthread instead of timers and wq"):
* the function flush_worker_fn has no exit path - on unload, this
function will just loop and consume 100% CPU without any progress
* the wake-up mechanism in flush_worker_fn is racy - a wake up will be
missed if the process adds entries to the delayed_bios list just
before set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE)
* flush_delayed_bios_fast submits a bio while holding a global mutex;
this may deadlock if we have multiple stacked dm-delay devices and
the underlying device attempts to acquire the mutex too
* if the target constructor fails, it will call delay_dtr. delay_dtr
would attempt to free dc->timer_lock without it being initialized by
the constructor.
* if the target constructor's kthread allocation fails, delay_dtr
would crash trying to dereference dc->worker because it is non-NULL
due to ERR_PTR.

In delay_presuspend, we set the atomic variable may_delay and then stop
the timer and flush pending bios. The intention here is to prevent the
delay target from re-arming the timer again.
However, this test is racy. Suppose that one thread goes to delay_bio,
sees that dc->may_delay is one and proceeds; now, another thread executes
delay_presuspend, it sets dc->may_delay to zero, deletes the timer and
flushes pending bios. Then, the first thread continues and adds the bio to
delayed->list despite the fact that dc->may_delay is false.
Fix this bug by changing may_delay's type from atomic_t to bool and
only access it while holding the delayed_bios_lock mutex. Note that we
don't have to grab the mutex in delay_resume because there are no bios
in flight at this point.

To help make the move of sysctls out of kernel/sysctl.c not incur a size
penalty sysctl has been changed to allow us to not require the sentinel, the
final empty element on the sysctl array. Joel Granados has been doing all this
work. On the v6.6 kernel we got the major infrastructure changes required to
support this. For v6.7-rc1 we have all arch/ and drivers/ modified to remove
the sentinel. Both arch and driver changes have been on linux-next for a bit
less than a month. It is worth re-iterating the value:
- this helps reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory consumed by the kernel by about ~64 bytes per array
- the extra 64-byte penalty is no longer inncurred now when we move sysctls
out from kernel/sysctl.c to their own files
For v6.8-rc1 expect removal of all the sentinels and also then the unneeded
check for procname == NULL.
The last 2 patches are fixes recently merged by Krister Johansen which allow
us again to use softlockup_panic early on boot. This used to work but the
alias work broke it. This is useful for folks who want to detect softlockups
super early rather than wait and spend money on cloud solutions with nothing
but an eventual hung kernel. Although this hadn't gone through linux-next it's
also a stable fix, so we might as well roll through the fixes now.
