[ Upstream commit 34cf78bf34d48dddddfeeadb44f9841d7864997a ]

This patch fix a lost wake-up problem caused by the race between
mca_cannibalize_lock and bch_cannibalize_unlock.

Consider two processes, A and B. Process A is executing
mca_cannibalize_lock, while process B takes c-&gt;btree_cache_alloc_lock
and is executing bch_cannibalize_unlock. The problem happens that after
process A executes cmpxchg and will execute prepare_to_wait. In this
timeslice process B executes wake_up, but after that process A executes
prepare_to_wait and set the state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE. Then process A
goes to sleep but no one will wake up it. This problem may cause bcache
device to dead.

<title>bcache: fix overflow in offset_to_stripe()</title>

commit 7a1481267999c02abf4a624515c1b5c7c1fccbd6 upstream.

offset_to_stripe() returns the stripe number (in type unsigned int) from
an offset (in type uint64_t) by the following calculation,
	do_div(offset, d-&gt;stripe_size);
For large capacity backing device (e.g. 18TB) with small stripe size
(e.g. 4KB), the result is 4831838208 and exceeds UINT_MAX. The actual
returned value which caller receives is 536870912, due to the overflow.

Indeed in bcache_device_init(), bcache_device-&gt;nr_stripes is limited in
range [1, INT_MAX]. Therefore all valid stripe numbers in bcache are
in range [0, bcache_dev-&gt;nr_stripes - 1].

This patch adds a upper limition check in offset_to_stripe(): the max
valid stripe number should be less than bcache_device-&gt;nr_stripes. If
the calculated stripe number from do_div() is equal to or larger than
bcache_device-&gt;nr_stripe, -EINVAL will be returned. (Normally nr_stripes
is less than INT_MAX, exceeding upper limitation doesn't mean overflow,
therefore -EOVERFLOW is not used as error code.)

This patch also changes nr_stripes' type of struct bcache_device from
'unsigned int' to 'int', and return value type of offset_to_stripe()
from 'unsigned int' to 'int', to match their exact data ranges.

All locations where bcache_device-&gt;nr_stripes and offset_to_stripe() are
referenced also get updated for the above type change.

commit 5fe48867856367142d91a82f2cbf7a57a24cbb70 upstream.

There are some meta data of bcache are allocated by multiple pages,
and they are used as bio bv_page for I/Os to the cache device. for
example cache_set-&gt;uuids, cache-&gt;disk_buckets, journal_write-&gt;data,
bset_tree-&gt;data.

For such meta data memory, all the allocated pages should be treated
as a single memory block. Then the memory management and underlying I/O
code can treat them more clearly.

This patch adds __GFP_COMP flag to all the location allocating &gt;0 order
pages for the above mentioned meta data. Then their pages are treated
as compound pages now.

<title>bcache: fix super block seq numbers comparision in register_cache_set()</title>

[ Upstream commit 117f636ea695270fe492d0c0c9dfadc7a662af47 ]

In register_cache_set(), c is pointer to struct cache_set, and ca is
pointer to struct cache, if ca-&gt;sb.seq &gt; c-&gt;sb.seq, it means this
registering cache has up to date version and other members, the in-
memory version and other members should be updated to the newer value.

But current implementation makes a cache set only has a single cache
device, so the above assumption works well except for a special case.
The execption is when a cache device new created and both ca-&gt;sb.seq and
c-&gt;sb.seq are 0, because the super block is never flushed out yet. In
the location for the following if() check,
2156         if (ca-&gt;sb.seq &gt; c-&gt;sb.seq) {
2157                 c-&gt;sb.version           = ca-&gt;sb.version;
2158                 memcpy(c-&gt;sb.set_uuid, ca-&gt;sb.set_uuid, 16);
2159                 c-&gt;sb.flags             = ca-&gt;sb.flags;
2160                 c-&gt;sb.seq               = ca-&gt;sb.seq;
2161                 pr_debug("set version = %llu\n", c-&gt;sb.version);
2162         }
c-&gt;sb.version is not initialized yet and valued 0. When ca-&gt;sb.seq is 0,
the if() check will fail (because both values are 0), and the cache set
version, set_uuid, flags and seq won't be updated.

The above problem is hiden for current code, because the bucket size is
compatible among different super block version. And the next time when
running cache set again, ca-&gt;sb.seq will be larger than 0 and cache set
super block version will be updated properly.

But if the large bucket feature is enabled,  sb-&gt;bucket_size is the low
16bits of the bucket size. For a power of 2 value, when the actual
bucket size exceeds 16bit width, sb-&gt;bucket_size will always be 0. Then
read_super_common() will fail because the if() check to
is_power_of_2(sb-&gt;bucket_size) is false. This is how the long time
hidden bug is triggered.

This patch modifies the if() check to the following way,
2156         if (ca-&gt;sb.seq &gt; c-&gt;sb.seq || c-&gt;sb.seq == 0) {
Then cache set's version, set_uuid, flags and seq will always be updated
corectly including for a new created cache device.

coccicheck reports:
  drivers/md//bcache/btree.c:1538:1-7: preceding lock on line 1417

In btree_gc_coalesce func, if the coalescing process fails, we will goto
to out_nocoalesce tag directly without releasing new_nodes[i]-&gt;write_lock.
Then, it will cause a deadlock when trying to acquire new_nodes[i]-&gt;
write_lock for freeing new_nodes[i] before return.

btree_gc_coalesce func details as follows:
	if alloc new_nodes[i] fails:
		goto out_nocoalesce;
	// obtain new_nodes[i]-&gt;write_lock
	mutex_lock(&amp;new_nodes[i]-&gt;write_lock)
	// main coalescing process
	for (i = nodes - 1; i &gt; 0; --i)
		[snipped]
		if coalescing process fails:
			// Here, directly goto out_nocoalesce
			 // tag will cause a deadlock
			goto out_nocoalesce;
		[snipped]
	// release new_nodes[i]-&gt;write_lock
	mutex_unlock(&amp;new_nodes[i]-&gt;write_lock)
	// coalesing succ, return
	return;
out_nocoalesce:
	btree_node_free(new_nodes[i])	// free new_nodes[i]
	// obtain new_nodes[i]-&gt;write_lock
	mutex_lock(&amp;new_nodes[i]-&gt;write_lock);
	// set flag for reuse
	clear_bit(BTREE_NODE_dirty, &amp;ew_nodes[i]-&gt;flags);
	// release new_nodes[i]-&gt;write_lock
	mutex_unlock(&amp;new_nodes[i]-&gt;write_lock);

To fix the problem, we add a new tag 'out_unlock_nocoalesce' for
releasing new_nodes[i]-&gt;write_lock before out_nocoalesce tag. If
coalescing process fails, we will go to out_unlock_nocoalesce tag
for releasing new_nodes[i]-&gt;write_lock before free new_nodes[i] in
out_nocoalesce tag.

 816 }

At line 808, put_disk(disk) may encounter kobject refcount of 'disk'
being underflow.

Here is how to reproduce the issue,
- Attche the backing device to a cache device and do random write to
  make the cache being dirty.
- Stop the bcache device while the cache device has dirty data of the
  backing device.
- Only register the backing device back, NOT register cache device.
- The bcache device node /dev/bcache0 won't show up, because backing
  device waits for the cache device shows up for the missing dirty
  data.
- Now echo 1 into /sys/fs/bcache/pendings_cleanup, to stop the pending
  backing device.
- After the pending backing device stopped, use 'dmesg' to check kernel
  message, a use-after-free warning from KASA reported the refcount of
  kobject linked to the 'disk' is underflow.

The dropping refcount at line 808 in the above code piece is added by
add_disk(d-&gt;disk) in bch_cached_dev_run(). But in the above condition
the cache device is not registered, bch_cached_dev_run() has no chance
to be called and the refcount is not added. The put_disk() for a non-
added refcount of gendisk kobject triggers a underflow warning.

This patch checks whether GENHD_FL_UP is set in disk-&gt;flags, if it is
not set then the bcache device was not added, don't call put_disk()
and the the underflow issue can be avoided.

<title>bcache: explicity type cast in bset_bkey_last()</title>

[ Upstream commit 7c02b0055f774ed9afb6e1c7724f33bf148ffdc0 ]

In bset.h, macro bset_bkey_last() is defined as,
    bkey_idx((struct bkey *) (i)-&gt;d, (i)-&gt;keys)

Parameter i can be variable type of data structure, the macro always
works once the type of struct i has member 'd' and 'keys'.

bset_bkey_last() is also used in macro csum_set() to calculate the
checksum of a on-disk data structure. When csum_set() is used to
calculate checksum of on-disk bcache super block, the parameter 'i'
data type is struct cache_sb_disk. Inside struct cache_sb_disk (also in
struct cache_sb) the member keys is __u16 type. But bkey_idx() expects
unsigned int (a 32bit width), so there is problem when sending
parameters via stack to call bkey_idx().

Sparse tool from Intel 0day kbuild system reports this incompatible
problem. bkey_idx() is part of user space API, so the simplest fix is
to cast the (i)-&gt;keys to unsigned int type in macro bset_bkey_last().

freeing cached_dev.  Otherwise a page would be leaked every

<title>bcache: add readahead cache policy options via sysfs interface</title>

commit 038ba8cc1bffc51250add4a9b9249d4331576d8f upstream.

In year 2007 high performance SSD was still expensive, in order to
save more space for real workload or meta data, the readahead I/Os
for non-meta data was bypassed and not cached on SSD.

In now days, SSD price drops a lot and people can find larger size
SSD with more comfortable price. It is unncessary to alway bypass
normal readahead I/Os to save SSD space for now.

This patch adds options for readahead data cache policies via sysfs
file /sys/block/bcache&lt;N&gt;/readahead_cache_policy, the options are,
- "all": cache all readahead data I/Os.
- "meta-only": only cache meta data, and bypass other regular I/Os.

If users want to make bcache continue to only cache readahead request
for metadata and bypass regular data readahead, please set "meta-only"
to this sysfs file. By default, bcache will back to cache all read-
ahead requests now.
