<content type='text'>
commit 22f166218f7313e8fe2d19213b5f4b3265f8c39e upstream.

If bio is split by internal handling like chunksize or badblocks, the
corresponding trace_block_split() is missing, resulting in blktrace
inability to catch BIO split events and making it harder to analyze the
BIO sequence.

<title>md: init queue_limits-&gt;max_hw_wzeroes_unmap_sectors parameter</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f0bd03832f5c84f90919bd018156b1b6eb911692</id>
<content type='text'>
The parameter max_hw_wzeroes_unmap_sectors in queue_limits should be
equal to max_write_zeroes_sectors if it is set to a non-zero value.
However, the stacked md drivers call md_init_stacking_limits() to
initialize this parameter to UINT_MAX but only adjust
max_write_zeroes_sectors when setting limits. Therefore, this
discrepancy triggers a value check failure in blk_validate_limits().

 $ modprobe scsi_debug num_parts=2 dev_size_mb=8 lbprz=1 lbpws=1
 $ mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=0 --raid-device=2 /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2
   mdadm: Defaulting to version 1.2 metadata
   mdadm: RUN_ARRAY failed: Invalid argument

Fix this failure by explicitly setting max_hw_wzeroes_unmap_sectors to
max_write_zeroes_sectors. Since the linear and raid0 drivers support
write zeroes, so they can support unmap write zeroes operation if all of
the backend devices support it. However, the raid1/10/5 drivers don't
support write zeroes, so we have to set it to zero.

queue_limits_cancel_update() must only be called if
queue_limits_start_update() is called first. Remove the
queue_limits_cancel_update() call from linear_set_limits() because
there is no corresponding queue_limits_start_update() call.

This bug was discovered by annotating all mutex operations with clang
thread-safety attributes and by building the kernel with clang and
-Wthread-safety.

THe md-linear is removed by commit 849d18e27be9 ("md: Remove deprecated
CONFIG_MD_LINEAR") because it has been marked as deprecated for a long
time.

However, md-linear is used widely for underlying disks with different size,
sadly we didn't know this until now, and it's true useful to create
partitions and assemble multiple raid and then append one to the other.

People have to use dm-linear in this case now, however, they will prefer
to minimize the number of involved modules.

Prepare for the coming implementation by GCC and Clang of the __counted_by
attribute. Flexible array members annotated with __counted_by can have
their accesses bounds-checked at run-time checking via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS
(for array indexing) and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE (for strcpy/memcpy-family
functions).

As found with Coccinelle[1], add __counted_by for struct linear_conf.
Additionally, since the element count member must be set before accessing
the annotated flexible array member, move its initialization earlier.
