commit b9c10f68e23c13f56685559a0d6fdaca9f838324 upstream.

Read requests that return with NRF error are partially completed in
dasd_eckd_ese_read(). The function keeps track of the amount of
processed bytes and the driver will eventually return this information
back to the block layer for further processing via __dasd_cleanup_cqr()
when the request is in the final stage of processing (from the driver's
perspective).

For this, blk_update_request() is used which requires the number of
bytes to complete the request. As per documentation the nr_bytes
parameter is described as follows:
   "number of bytes to complete for @req".

This was mistakenly interpreted as "number of bytes _left_ for @req"
leading to new requests with incorrect data length. The consequence are
inconsistent and completely wrong read requests as data from random
memory areas are read back.

Fix this by correctly specifying the amount of bytes that should be used
to complete the request.

<title>s390/dasd: Fix read for ESE with blksize &lt; 4k</title>

commit cd68c48ea15c85f1577a442dc4c285e112ff1b37 upstream.

When reading unformatted tracks on ESE devices, the corresponding memory
areas are simply set to zero for each segment. This is done incorrectly
for blocksizes &lt; 4096.

There are two problems. First, the increment of dst is done using the
counter of the loop (off), which is increased by blksize every
iteration. This leads to a much bigger increment for dst as actually
intended. Second, the increment of dst is done before the memory area
is set to 0, skipping a significant amount of bytes of memory.

This leads to illegal overwriting of memory and ultimately to a kernel
panic.

This is not a problem with 4k blocksize because
blk_queue_max_segment_size is set to PAGE_SIZE, always resulting in a
single iteration for the inner segment loop (bv.bv_len == blksize). The
incorrectly used 'off' value to increment dst is 0 and the correct
memory area is used.

In order to fix this for blksize &lt; 4k, increment dst correctly using the
blksize and only do it at the end of the loop.

<title>s390/dasd: prevent double format of tracks for ESE devices</title>

commit 71f3871657370dbbaf942a1c758f64e49a36c70f upstream.

For ESE devices we get an error for write operations on an unformatted
track. Afterwards the track will be formatted and the IO operation
restarted.
When using alias devices a track might be accessed by multiple requests
simultaneously and there is a race window that a track gets formatted
twice resulting in data loss.

Prevent this by remembering the amount of formatted tracks when starting
a request and comparing this number before actually formatting a track
on the fly. If the number has changed there is a chance that the current
track was finally formatted in between. As a result do not format the
track and restart the current IO to check.

The number of formatted tracks does not match the overall number of
formatted tracks on the device and it might wrap around but this is no
problem. It is only needed to recognize that a track has been formatted at
all in between.

commit 5b53a405e4658580e1faf7c217db3f55a21ba849 upstream.

For ESE devices we get an error when accessing an unformatted track.
The handling of this error will return zero data for read requests and
format the track on demand before writing to it. To do this the code needs
to distinguish between read and write requests. This is done with data from
the blocklayer request. A pointer to the blocklayer request is stored in
the CQR.

If there is an error on the device an ERP request is built to do error
recovery. While the ERP request is mostly a copy of the original CQR the
pointer to the blocklayer request is not copied to not accidentally pass
it back to the blocklayer without cleanup.

This leads to the error that during ESE handling after an ERP request was
built it is not possible to determine the IO direction. This leads to the
formatting of a track for read requests which might in turn lead to data
corruption.

<content type='text'>
Pull dax and libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "The bulk of this is a rework of the dax_operations API after
  discovering the obstacles it posed to the work-in-progress DAX+reflink
  support for XFS and other copy-on-write filesystem mechanics.

  Primarily the need to plumb a block_device through the API to handle
  partition offsets was a sticking point and Christoph untangled that
  dependency in addition to other cleanups to make landing the
  DAX+reflink support easier.

  The DAX_PMEM_COMPAT option has been around for 4 years and not only
  are distributions shipping userspace that understand the current
  configuration API, but some are not even bothering to turn this option
  on anymore, so it seems a good time to remove it per the deprecation
  schedule. Recall that this was added after the device-dax subsystem
  moved from /sys/class/dax to /sys/bus/dax for its sysfs organization.
  All recent functionality depends on /sys/bus/dax.

  Some other miscellaneous cleanups and reflink prep patches are
  included as well.

  Summary:

   - Simplify the dax_operations API:

      - Eliminate bdev_dax_pgoff() in favor of the filesystem
        maintaining and applying a partition offset to all its DAX iomap
        operations.

      - Remove wrappers and device-mapper stacked callbacks for
        -&gt;copy_from_iter() and -&gt;copy_to_iter() in favor of moving
        block_device relative offset responsibility to the
        dax_direct_access() caller.

      - Remove the need for an @bdev in filesystem-DAX infrastructure

      - Remove unused uio helpers copy_from_iter_flushcache() and
        copy_mc_to_iter() as only the non-check_copy_size() versions are
        used for DAX.

   - Prepare XFS for the pending (next merge window) DAX+reflink support

   - Remove deprecated DEV_DAX_PMEM_COMPAT support

   - Cleanup a straggling misuse of the GUID api"

There are currently 2 ways to create a set of sysfs files for a
kobj_type, through the default_attrs field, and the default_groups
field.  Move the s390 dasd sysfs code to use default_groups field
which has been the preferred way since commit aa30f47cf666 ("kobject:
Add support for default attribute groups to kobj_type") so that we can
soon get rid of the obsolete default_attrs field.

These methods indirect the actual DAX read/write path.  In the end pmem
uses magic flush and mc safe variants and fuse and dcssblk use plain ones
while device mapper picks redirects to the underlying device.

Add set_dax_nocache() and set_dax_nomc() APIs to control which copy
routines are used to remove indirect call from the read/write fast path
as well as a lot of boilerplate code.
