789b5e0315 md/raid5: Fix CPU hotplug callback registration
Subsystems that want to register CPU hotplug callbacks, as well as perform
initialization for the CPUs that are already online, often do it as shown
below:

	get_online_cpus();

	for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
		init_cpu(cpu);

	register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);

	put_online_cpus();

This is wrong, since it is prone to ABBA deadlocks involving the
cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock (when running concurrently
with CPU hotplug operations).

Interestingly, the raid5 code can actually prevent double initialization and
hence can use the following simplified form of callback registration:

	register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);

	get_online_cpus();

	for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
		init_cpu(cpu);

	put_online_cpus();

A hotplug operation that occurs between registering the notifier and calling
get_online_cpus(), won't disrupt anything, because the code takes care to
perform the memory allocations only once.

So reorganize the code in raid5 this way to fix the deadlock with callback
registration.

1877db7558 md/raid1: restore ability for check and repair to fix read errors.
commit 30bc9b5387
    md/raid1: fix bio handling problems in process_checks()

Move the bio_reset() to a point before where BIO_UPTODATE is checked,
so that check now always report that the bio is uptodate, even if it is not.

This causes process_check() to sometimes treat read-errors as
successful matches so the good data isn't written out.

This patch preserves the flag until it is needed.

Bug was introduced in 3.11, but backported to 3.10-stable (as it fixed
an even worse bug).  So suitable for any -stable since 3.10.

9471744767 bcache: fix BUG_ON due to integer overflow with GC_SECTORS_USED
The BUG_ON at the end of __bch_btree_mark_key can be triggered due to
an integer overflow error:

BITMASK(GC_SECTORS_USED, struct bucket, gc_mark, 2, 13);
...
SET_GC_SECTORS_USED(g, min_t(unsigned,
	     GC_SECTORS_USED(g) + KEY_SIZE(k),
	     (1 << 14) - 1));
BUG_ON(!GC_SECTORS_USED(g));

In bcache.h, the SECTORS_USED bitfield is defined to be 13 bits wide.
While the SET_ code tries to ensure that the field doesn't overflow by
clamping it to (1<<14)-1 == 16383, this is incorrect because 16383
requires 14 bits.  Therefore, if GC_SECTORS_USED() + KEY_SIZE() =
8192, the SET_ statement tries to store 8192 into a 13-bit field.  In
a 13-bit field, 8192 becomes zero, thus triggering the BUG_ON.

Therefore, create a field width constant and a max value constant, and
use those to create the bitfield and check the inputs to
SET_GC_SECTORS_USED.  Arguably the BITMASK() template ought to have
BUG_ON checks for too-large values, but that's a separate patch.

5066a4df1f dm log userspace: allow mark requests to piggyback on flush requests
In the cluster evironment, cluster write has poor performance because
userspace_flush() has to contact a userspace program (cmirrord) for
clear/mark/flush requests.  But both mark and flush requests require
cmirrord to communicate the message to all the cluster nodes for each
flush call.  This behaviour is really slow.

To address this we now merge mark and flush requests together to reduce
the kernel-userspace-kernel time.  We allow a new directive,
"integrated_flush" that can be used to instruct the kernel log code to
combine flush and mark requests when directed by userspace.  If not
directed by userspace (due to an older version of the userspace code
perhaps), the kernel will function as it did previously - preserving
backwards compatibility.  Additionally, flush requests are performed
lazily when only clear requests exist.

7da9d450ab md/raid5: close recently introduced race in stripe_head management.
As release_stripe and __release_stripe decrement ->count and then
manipulate ->lru both under ->device_lock, it is important that
get_active_stripe() increments ->count and clears ->lru also under
->device_lock.

However we currently list_del_init ->lru under the lock, but increment
the ->count outside the lock.  This can lead to races and list
corruption.

So move the atomic_inc(&sh->count) up inside the ->device_lock
protected region.

Note that we still increment ->count without device lock in the case
where get_free_stripe() was called, and in fact don't take
->device_lock at all in that path.
This is safe because if the stripe_head can be found by
get_free_stripe, then the hash lock assures us the no-one else could
possibly be calling release_stripe() at the same time.

fca028438f dm space map metadata: fix bug in resizing of thin metadata
This bug was introduced in commit 7e664b3dec ("dm space map metadata:
fix extending the space map").

When extending a dm-thin metadata volume we:

- Switch the space map into a simple bootstrap mode, which allocates
  all space linearly from the newly added space.
- Add new bitmap entries for the new space
- Increment the reference counts for those newly allocated bitmap
  entries
- Commit changes to disk
- Switch back out of bootstrap mode.

But, the disk commit may allocate space itself, if so this fact will be
lost when switching out of bootstrap mode.

The bug exhibited itself as an error when the bitmap_root, with an
erroneous ref count of 0, was subsequently decremented as part of a
later disk commit.  This would cause the disk commit to fail, and thinp
to enter read_only mode.  The metadata was not damaged (thin_check
passed).

The fix is to put the increments + commit into a loop, running until
the commit has not allocated extra space.  In practise this loop only
runs twice.

With this fix the following device mapper testsuite test passes:
 dmtest run --suite thin-provisioning -n thin_remove_works_after_resize

  known issues in that filesystem as well.  The code isn't completed
  yet, but all should be stable now (there is a big section that was
  reverted due to problems found when testing)

  There's also some other smaller fixes, and a driver core addition that
  allows for a "collection" of objects, that the DRM people will be
  using soon (it's in this tree to make merges after -rc1 easier)

The cache's policy may have been established using the "default" alias,
which is currently the "mq" policy but the default policy may change in

Add a 'real' member to the dm_cache_policy_type structure and have the
"default" dm_cache_policy_type point to the real "mq"
dm_cache_policy_type.  Update dm_cache_policy_get_name() to check if
real is set, if so report the name of the real policy (not the alias).

9f97e4b128 md/raid5: fix long-standing problem with bitmap handling on write failure.
Before a write starts we set a bit in the write-intent bitmap.
When the write completes we clear that bit if the write was successful
to all devices.  However if the write wasn't fully successful we
should not clear the bit.  If the faulty drive is subsequently
re-added, the fact that the bit is still set ensure that we will
re-write the data that is missing.

This logic is mediated by the STRIPE_DEGRADED flag - we only clear the
bitmap bit when this flag is not set.
Currently we correctly set the flag if a write starts when some
devices are failed or missing.  But we do *not* set the flag if some
device failed during the write attempt.
This is wrong and can result in clearing the bit inappropriately.

So: set the flag when a write fails.

This bug has been present since bitmaps were introduces, so the fix is
suitable for any -stable kernel.

cb335f88eb md: check command validity early in md_ioctl().
Verify that the cmd parameter passed to md_ioctl() is valid before
doing anything.

This fixes mddev->hold_active being set to 0 when an invalid ioctl
command is passed to md_ioctl() before the array has been configured.

Clearing mddev->hold_active in that case can lead to a livelock
situation when an invalid ioctl number is given to md_ioctl() by a
process when the mddev is currently being opened by another process:

Process 1				Process 2
---------				---------

  add_disk()

                         		   hold_active is 0

The kobject release code that calls the completion must be placed in a
non-module file, otherwise there is a module unload race (if the process
calling dm_kobject_release is preempted and the DM module unloaded after
the completion is triggered, but before dm_kobject_release returns).

To fix this race, this patch moves the completion code to dm-builtin.c
which is always compiled directly into the kernel if BLK_DEV_DM is
selected.

The patch introduces a new dm_kobject_holder structure, its purpose is
to keep the completion and kobject in one place, so that it can be
accessed from non-module code without the need to export the layout of
struct mapped_device to that code.

55b082e614 dm snapshot: use dm-bufio prefetch
This patch modifies dm-snapshot so that it prefetches the buffers when
loading the exceptions.

The number of buffers read ahead is specified in the DM_PREFETCH_CHUNKS
macro.  The current value for DM_PREFETCH_CHUNKS (12) was found to
provide the best performance on a single 15k SCSI spindle.  In the
future we may modify this default or make it configurable.

Also, introduce the function dm_bufio_set_minimum_buffers to setup
bufio's number of internal buffers before freeing happens.  dm-bufio may
hold more buffers if enough memory is available.  There is no guarantee
that the specified number of buffers will be available - if you need a
guarantee, use the argument reserved_buffers for
dm_bufio_client_create.

2cadabd512 dm snapshot: prepare for switch to using dm-bufio
Change the functions get_exception, read_exception and insert_exceptions
so that ps->area is passed as an argument.

This patch doesn't change any functionality, but it refactors the code
to allow for a cleaner switch over to using dm-bufio.
