commit 34cab6f42003cb06f48f86a86652984dec338ae9 upstream.

When we get a read error from the last working device, we don't
try to repair it, and don't fail the device.  We simple report a
read error to the caller.

However the current test for 'is this the last working device' is
wrong.
When there is only one fully working device, it assumes that a
non-faulty device is that device.  However a spare which is rebuilding
would be non-faulty but so not the only working device.

So change the test from "!Faulty" to "In_sync".  If -&gt;degraded says
there is only one fully working device and this device is in_sync,
this must be the one.

This bug has existed since we allowed read_balance to read from
a recovering spare in v3.0

commit 621739b00e16ca2d80411dc9b111cb15b91f3ba9 upstream.

This reverts commit 9a0e609e3fd8a95c96629b9fbde6b8c5b9a1456a.
(Resolved a conflict during revert due to commit bfebd1cdb4 that came
after)

This revert is motivated by a couple failure reports on request-based DM
multipath testbeds:
1) Netapp reported that their multipath fault injection test under heavy
   IO load can stall longer than 300 seconds.
2) IBM reported elevated lock contention in their testbed (likely due to
   increased back pressure due to IO not being dispatched as quickly):

commit d3b178adb3a3adf54ecf77758138b654c3ee7f09 upstream.

There is a bug that the bitmap superblock isn't initialised properly for
dm-raid, so a new field can have garbage in new fields.
(dm-raid does initialisation in the kernel - md initialised the
 superblock in mdadm).

This means that for dm-raid we cannot currently trust the new -&gt;nodes
field. So:
 - use __GFP_ZERO to initialise the superblock properly for all new
    arrays
 - initialise all fields in bitmap_info in bitmap_new_disk_sb
 - ignore -&gt;nodes for dm arrays (yes, this is a hack)

This bug exposes dm-raid to bug in the (still experimental) md-cluster
code, so it is suitable for -stable.  It does cause crashes.

commit bd6919228d7e1867ae9e24ab27e3e4a366c87d21 upstream.

If -&gt;private is set when -&gt;run is called, it is assumed to be
a 'config'  prepared as part of 'reshape'.

So it is important when we free that config, that we also clear -&gt;private.
This is not often a problem as the mddev will normally be discarded
shortly after the config us freed.
However if an 'assemble' races with a final close, the assemble can use
the old mddev which has a stale -&gt;private.  This leads to any of
various sorts of crashes.

So clear -&gt;private after calling -&gt;free().

commit a822c83e47d97cdef38c4352e1ef62d9f46cfe98 upstream.

Given the pool's cell_sort_array holds 8192 pointers it triggers an
order 5 allocation via kmalloc.  This order 5 allocation is prone to
failure as system memory gets more fragmented over time.

Fix this by allocating the cell_sort_array using vmalloc.

redistribute3() shares entries out across 3 nodes.  Some entries were

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.
