commit 583da48e388f472e8818d9bb60ef6a1d40ee9f9d upstream.

When growing raid5 device on machine with small memory, there is chance that
mdadm will be killed and the following bug report can be observed. The same
bug could also be reproduced in linux-4.10.6.

The problem is that resize_stripes() releases new stripe_heads before assigning new
slab cache to conf-&gt;slab_cache. If the shrinker function raid5_cache_scan() gets called
after resize_stripes() starting releasing new stripes but right before new slab cache
being assigned, it is possible that these new stripe_heads will be freed with the old
slab_cache which was already been destoryed and that triggers this bug.

<title>dm bufio: make the parameter "retain_bytes" unsigned long</title>

commit 13840d38016203f0095cd547b90352812d24b787 upstream.

Change the type of the parameter "retain_bytes" from unsigned to
unsigned long, so that on 64-bit machines the user can set more than
4GiB of data to be retained.

Also, change the type of the variable "count" in the function
"__evict_old_buffers" to unsigned long.  The assignment
"count = c-&gt;n_buffers[LIST_CLEAN] + c-&gt;n_buffers[LIST_DIRTY];"
could result in unsigned long to unsigned overflow and that could result
in buffers not being freed when they should.

While at it, avoid division in get_retain_buffers().  Division is slow,
we can change it to shift because we have precalculated the log2 of
block size.

4GiB of data to be retained.

Also, change the type of the variable "count" in the function
"__evict_old_buffers" to unsigned long.  The assignment
"count = c-&gt;n_buffers[LIST_CLEAN] + c-&gt;n_buffers[LIST_DIRTY];"
could result in unsigned long to unsigned overflow and that could result
in buffers not being freed when they should.

While at it, avoid division in get_retain_buffers().  Division is slow,
we can change it to shift because we have precalculated the log2 of
block size.

commit 10add84e276432d9dd8044679a1028dd4084117e upstream.

Otherwise it is possible to trigger crashes due to the metadata being
inaccessible yet these methods don't safely account for that possibility
without these checks.

<title>dm bufio: check new buffer allocation watermark every 30 seconds</title>

commit 390020ad2af9ca04844c4f3b1f299ad8746d84c8 upstream.

dm-bufio checks a watermark when it allocates a new buffer in
__bufio_new().  However, it doesn't check the watermark when the user
changes /sys/module/dm_bufio/parameters/max_cache_size_bytes.

This may result in a problem - if the watermark is high enough so that
all possible buffers are allocated and if the user lowers the value of
"max_cache_size_bytes", the watermark will never be checked against the
new value because no new buffer would be allocated.

To fix this, change __evict_old_buffers() so that it checks the
watermark.  __evict_old_buffers() is called every 30 seconds, so if the
user reduces "max_cache_size_bytes", dm-bufio will react to this change
within 30 seconds and decrease memory consumption.

commit 1b0fb5a5b2dc0dddcfa575060441a7176ba7ac37 upstream.

__get_memory_limit() tests if dm_bufio_cache_size changed and calls
__cache_size_refresh() if it did.  It takes dm_bufio_clients_lock while
it already holds the client lock.  However, lock ordering is violated
because in cleanup_old_buffers() dm_bufio_clients_lock is taken before
the client lock.

This results in a possible deadlock and lockdep engine warning.

Fix this deadlock by changing mutex_lock() to mutex_trylock().  If the
lock can't be taken, it will be re-checked next time when a new buffer
is allocated.

Also add "unlikely" to the if condition, so that the optimizer assumes
that the condition is false.

commit 7b81ef8b14f80033e4a4168d199a0f5fd79b9426 upstream.

Since the commit 0cf4503174c1 ("dm raid: add support for the MD RAID0
personality"), the dm-raid subsystem can activate a RAID-0 array.
Therefore, add MD_RAID0 to the dependencies of DM_RAID, so that MD_RAID0
will be selected when DM_RAID is selected.

<title>dm btree: fix for dm_btree_find_lowest_key()</title>

commit 7d1fedb6e96a960aa91e4ff70714c3fb09195a5a upstream.

dm_btree_find_lowest_key() is giving incorrect results.  find_key()
traverses the btree correctly for finding the highest key, but there is
an error in the way it traverses the btree for retrieving the lowest
key.  dm_btree_find_lowest_key() fetches the first key of the rightmost
block of the btree instead of fetching the first key from the leftmost
block.

Fix this by conditionally passing the correct parameter to value64()
based on the @find_highest flag.

commit 117aceb030307dcd431fdcff87ce988d3016c34a upstream.

When committing era metadata to disk, it doesn't always save the latest
spacemap metadata root in superblock. Due to this, metadata is getting
corrupted sometimes when reopening the device. The correct order of update
should be, pre-commit (shadows spacemap root), save the spacemap root
(newly shadowed block) to in-core superblock and then the final commit.
