<title>dm table: fix invalid memory accesses with too high sector number</title>

<content type='text'>
If the sector number is too high, dm_table_find_target() should return a
pointer to a zeroed dm_target structure (the caller should test it with
dm_target_is_valid).

However, for some table sizes, the code in dm_table_find_target() that
performs btree lookup will access out of bound memory structures.

Fix this bug by testing the sector number at the beginning of
dm_table_find_target(). Also, add an "inline" keyword to the function
dm_table_get_size() because this is a hot path.

This patch sets dax device 'DAXDEV_SYNC' flag if all the target
devices of device mapper support synchrononous DAX. If device
mapper consists of both synchronous and asynchronous dax devices,
we don't set 'DAXDEV_SYNC' flag.

'dm_table_supports_dax' is refactored to pass 'iterate_devices_fn'
as argument so that the callers can pass the appropriate functions.

For the first call to realloc_argv() in dm_split_args(), old_argv is
NULL and size is zero. Then memcpy is called, with the NULL old_argv
as the source argument and a zero size argument. AFAIK, this is
undefined behavior and generates the following warning when compiled
with UBSAN on ppc64le:

Pankaj reports that starting with commit ad428cdb525a "dax: Check the
end of the block-device capacity with dax_direct_access()" device-mapper
no longer allows dax operation. This results from the stricter checks in
__bdev_dax_supported() that validate that the start and end of a
block-device map to the same 'pagemap' instance.

Teach the dax-core and device-mapper to validate the 'pagemap' on a
per-target basis. This is accomplished by refactoring the
bdev_dax_supported() internals into generic_fsdax_supported() which
takes a sector range to validate. Consequently generic_fsdax_supported()
is suitable to be used in a device-mapper -&gt;iterate_devices() callback.
A new -&gt;dax_supported() operation is added to allow composite devices to
split and route upper-level bdev_dax_supported() requests.

Some devices don't use blk_integrity but still want stable pages
because they do their own checksumming.  Examples include rbd and iSCSI
when data digests are negotiated.  Stacking DM (and thus LVM) on top of
these devices results in sporadic checksum errors.

Set BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES if any underlying device has it set.

Since bdced438acd83ad83a6c ("block: setup bi_phys_segments after splitting"),
physical segment number is mainly figured out in blk_queue_split() for
fast path, and the flag of BIO_SEG_VALID is set there too.

Now only blk_recount_segments() and blk_recalc_rq_segments() use this
flag.

Basically blk_recount_segments() is bypassed in fast path given BIO_SEG_VALID
is set in blk_queue_split().

For another user of blk_recalc_rq_segments():

- run in partial completion branch of blk_update_request, which is an unusual case

- run in blk_cloned_rq_check_limits(), still not a big problem if the flag is killed
since dm-rq is the only user.

Multi-page bvec is enabled now, not doing S/G merging is rather pointless with the
current setup of the I/O path, as it isn't going to save you a significant amount
of cycles.

Update DM to set the bdi's io_pages.  This fixes reads to be capped at

established readahead setting).

Fixes: 9491ae4a ("mm: don't cap request size based on read-ahead setting")
