commit 1c7518794a3647eb345d59ee52844e8a40405198 upstream.

Allocate memory using GFP_NOIO when deleting a btree.  dm_btree_del()
can be called via an ioctl and we don't want to recurse into the FS or
block layer.

<title>dm btree remove: fix bug in redistribute3</title>

commit 4c7e309340ff85072e96f529582d159002c36734 upstream.

redistribute3() shares entries out across 3 nodes.  Some entries were
being moved the wrong way, breaking the ordering.  This manifested as a
BUG() in dm-btree-remove.c:shift() when entries were removed from the
btree.

<title>dm space map metadata: fix occasional leak of a metadata block on resize</title>

commit 6096d91af0b65a3967139b32d5adbb3647858a26 upstream.

The metadata space map has a simplified 'bootstrap' mode that is
operational when extending the space maps.  Whilst in this mode it's
possible for some refcount decrement operations to become queued (eg, as
a result of shadowing one of the bitmap indexes).  These decrements were
not being applied when switching out of bootstrap mode.

The effect of this bug was the leaking of a 4k metadata block.  This is
detected by the latest version of thin_check as a non fatal error.

Pull more device mapper changes from Mike Snitzer:

- Significant dm-crypt CPU scalability performance improvements thanks
  to changes that enable effective use of an unbound workqueue across
  all available CPUs.  A large battery of tests were performed to
  validate these changes, summary of results is available here:
  https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-February/msg00106.html

- A few additional stable fixes (to DM core, dm-snapshot and dm-mirror)
  and a small fix to the dm-space-map-disk.

* tag 'dm-3.20-changes-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm:
  dm snapshot: fix a possible invalid memory access on unload
  dm: fix a race condition in dm_get_md
  dm crypt: sort writes
  dm crypt: add 'submit_from_crypt_cpus' option
  dm crypt: offload writes to thread
  dm crypt: remove unused io_pool and _crypt_io_pool
  dm crypt: avoid deadlock in mempools
  dm crypt: don't allocate pages for a partial request
  dm crypt: use unbound workqueue for request processing
  dm io: reject unsupported DISCARD requests with EOPNOTSUPP
  dm mirror: do not degrade the mirror on discard error
  dm space map disk: fix sm_disk_count_is_more_than_one()

dm_tm_shadow_block() is the only caller of
dm_sm_count_is_more_than_one() which only ever operates on a metadata
space-map.  So in practice, sm_disk_count_is_more_than_one() isn't
actually used (which explains why this bug never amounted to anything).

But fix sm_disk_count_is_more_than_one() to properly set *result and
return 0.

It should set "*count" and return zero on success the same as the

This could've been quite bad (to return success but not update the new
root to point at the old) but in practice the only known consumer of the
dm array code is the DM cache target.  And the DM cache target passes in
the same old root to array_resize() anyway.

Introduce the dm_tm_issue_prefetches interface.  If you're using a
non-blocking clone the tm will build up a list of requested blocks that
weren't in core.  dm_tm_issue_prefetches will request those blocks to be
prefetched.
