The READ_LOCK macro was incorrectly returning -EINVAL if
dm_bm_is_read_only() was true -- it will always be true once the cache
metadata transitions to read-only by dm_cache_metadata_set_read_only().
Wrap READ_LOCK and WRITE_LOCK multi-statement macros in do {} while(0).
Also, all accesses of the 'cmd' argument passed to these related macros
are now encapsulated in parenthesis.
A follow-up patch can be developed to eliminate the use of macros in
favor of pure C code. Avoiding that now given that this needs to apply
to stable@.

Commit c80914e81e ("dm: return error if bio_integrity_clone() fails

then the alloc_tio() created resources (both the bio that was allocated
to be a clone and the containing dm_target_io struct) will leak.
Fix this by calling free_tio() in __clone_and_map_data_bio()'s

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.
Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.
The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

If raid1d is handling a mix of read and write errors, handle_read_error's
call to freeze_array can get stuck.
This can happen because, though the bio_end_io_list is initially drained,
writes can be added to it via handle_write_finished as the retry_list
is processed. These writes contribute to nr_pending but are not included
in nr_queued.
If a later entry on the retry_list triggers a call to handle_read_error,
freeze array hangs waiting for nr_pending == nr_queued+extra. The writes
on the bio_end_io_list aren't included in nr_queued so the condition will
never be satisfied.
To prevent the hang, include bio_end_io_list writes in nr_queued.
There's probably a better way to handle decrementing nr_queued, but this
seemed like the safest way to avoid breaking surrounding code.
I'm happy to supply the script I used to repro this hang.

Inside multipath_make_request(), multipath maps the incoming
bio into low level device's bio, but it is totally wrong to
copy the bio into mapped bio via '*mapped_bio = *bio'. For

the incoming bio is chained to via bio splitting, so .bi_end_io
can't be called for the mapped bio at all in the completing path
in this kind of situation.

Commit 0a927c2f02 ("dm thin: return -ENOSPC when erroring retry list due

far enough.
Add a new 'out_of_data_space' flag to 'struct pool' and set it if/when
the pool runs of of data space. This fixes cell_error() and
error_retry_list() to not blindly return -EIO.
We cannot rely on the 'error_if_no_space' feature flag since it is
transient (in that it can be reset once space is added, plus it only
controls whether errors are issued, it doesn't reflect whether the
pool is actually out of space).

Neil recently fixed an obscure race in break_stripe_batch_list. Debug would be
quite convenient if we know the stripe state. This is what this patch does.
Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com>
break_stripe_batch_list breaks up a batch and copies some flags from
the batch head to the members, preserving others.
It doesn't preserve or copy STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE. This is not
normally a problem as STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE is cleared when a
stripe_head is added to a batch, and is not set on stripe_heads
already in a batch.
However there is no locking to ensure one thread doesn't set the flag
after it has just been cleared in another. This does occasionally happen.
md/raid5 maintains a count of the number of stripe_heads with
STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE set: conf->preread_active_stripes. When
break_stripe_batch_list clears STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE inadvertently
this could becomes incorrect and will never again return to zero.
md/raid5 delays the handling of some stripe_heads until
preread_active_stripes becomes zero. So when the above mention race
happens, those stripe_heads become blocked and never progress,
resulting is write to the array handing.
So: change break_stripe_batch_list to preserve STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE
in the members of a batch.

When stopping an MD device, then its device node /dev/mdX may still
exist afterwards or it is recreated by udev. The next open() call
can lead to creation of an inoperable MD device. The reason for
this is that a change event (KOBJ_CHANGE) is sent to udev which
races against the remove event (KOBJ_REMOVE) from md_free().
So drop sending the change event.
A change is likely also required in mdadm as many versions send the
change event to udev as well.

The problem is raid5_get_active_stripe waits on

in this order:
- release all stripes with hash 0
- raid5_get_active_stripe still sleeps since active_stripes >
max_nr_stripes * 3 / 4
- release all stripes with hash other than 0. active_stripes becomes 0
- raid5_get_active_stripe still sleeps, since nobody wakes up
wait_for_stripe[0]
The system live locks. The problem is active_stripes isn't a per-hash
count. Revert the patch makes the live lock go away.

Now that dm-mpath core is lockless in the per-IO fast path it is

The new percpu members of 'struct selector' allow for lockless support
of 'repeat_count' governed repeat use of a previously selected path. If
