md: Always set RECOVERY_NEEDED when clearing RECOVERY_FROZEN

2014-11-16T22:17:46Z

md_check_recovery will skip any recovery and also clear MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED if MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN is set. So when we clear _FROZEN, we must set _NEEDED and ensure that md_check_recovery gets run. Otherwise we could miss out on something that is needed. In particular, this can make it impossible to remove a failed device from an array is the 'recovery-needed' processing didn't happen. Suitable for stable kernels since 3.13. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org (3.13+) Reported-and-tested-by: Joe Lawrence Fixes: 30b8feb730f9b9b3c5de02580897da03f59b6b16 Signed-off-by: NeilBrown

Pull device mapper fixes from Mike Snitzer: - stable fix for dm-thin that avoids normal IO racing with discard - stable fix for a dm-cache related bug in dm-btree walking code that results from using very large fast device (eg 4T) with a very small cache blocksize (eg 32K) -- this is a very uncommon configuration - a couple fixes for dm-raid (one for stable and the other addresses a crash in 3.18-rc1 code) - stable fix for dm-thinp that addresses a very rare dm-bufio bug having to do with memory reclaimation (via shrinker) when using dm-thinp ontop of loopback devices - fix a leak in dm-stripe target constructor's error path * tag 'dm-3.18-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: dm btree: fix a recursion depth bug in btree walking code dm thin: grab a virtual cell before looking up the mapping dm raid: fix inaccessible superblocks causing oops in configure_discard_support dm raid: ensure superblock's size matches device's logical block size dm bufio: change __GFP_IO to __GFP_FS in shrinker callbacks dm stripe: fix potential for leak in stripe_ctr error path

dm btree: fix a recursion depth bug in btree walking code

2014-11-10T20:23:58Z

The walk code was using a 'ro_spine' to hold it's locked btree nodes. But this data structure is designed for the rolling lock scheme, and as such automatically unlocks blocks that are two steps up the call chain. This is not suitable for the simple recursive walk algorithm, which retraces its steps. This code is only used by the persistent array code, which in turn is only used by dm-cache. In order to trigger it you need to have a mapping tree that is more than 2 levels deep; which equates to 8-16 million cache blocks. For instance a 4T ssd with a very small block size of 32k only just triggers this bug. The fix just places the locked blocks on the stack, and stops using the ro_spine altogether.

dm raid: fix inaccessible superblocks causing oops in configure_discard_support

2014-10-29T18:53:27Z

Commit 48cf06bc5f ("dm raid: add discard support for RAID levels 4, 5 and 6") did not properly handle missing metadata device(s). A failing read of the superblock causes the metadata and data devices to be removed from the dev array in struct raid_set, setting references to both devices to NULL. configure_discard_support() nonetheless tries to access the data dev unconditionally causing an oops.

dm raid: ensure superblock's size matches device's logical block size

2014-10-21T13:32:15Z

The dm-raid superblock (struct dm_raid_superblock) is padded to 512 bytes and that size is being used to read it in from the metadata device into one preallocated page. Reading or writing this on a 512-byte sector device works fine but on a 4096-byte sector device this fails. Set the dm-raid superblock's size to the logical block size of the metadata device, because IO at that size is guaranteed too work. Also add a size check to avoid silent partial metadata loss in case the superblock should ever grow past the logical block size or PAGE_SIZE.
