[ Upstream commit 31f5b956a197d4ec25c8a07cb3a2ab69d0c0b82f ]

This patch adds code comments to bch_btree_node_get() and
__bch_btree_node_alloc() that NULL pointer will not be returned and it
is unnecessary to check NULL pointer by the callers of these routines.

<id>urn:sha1:fb8e62380e2d2ec33790484e0029b0be347a56f8</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 2c7f497ac274a14330208b18f6f734000868ebf9 upstream.

In SHOW(), the variable 'n' is of type 'size_t.' While there is a
conditional check to verify that 'n' is not equal to zero before
executing the 'do_div' macro, concerns arise regarding potential
division by zero error in 64-bit environments.

The concern arises when 'n' is 64 bits in size, greater than zero, and
the lower 32 bits of it are zeros. In such cases, the conditional check
passes because 'n' is non-zero, but the 'do_div' macro casts 'n' to
'uint32_t,' effectively truncating it to its lower 32 bits.
Consequently, the 'n' value becomes zero.

To fix this potential division by zero error and ensure precise
division handling, this commit replaces the 'do_div' macro with
div64_u64(). div64_u64() is designed to work with 64-bit operands,
guaranteeing that division is performed correctly.

This change enhances the robustness of the code, ensuring that division
operations yield accurate results in all scenarios, eliminating the
possibility of division by zero, and improving compatibility across
different 64-bit environments.

commit 777967e7e9f6f5f3e153abffb562bffaf4430d26 upstream.

In btree_gc_rewrite_node(), pointer 'n' is not checked after it returns
from btree_gc_rewrite_node(). There is potential possibility that 'n' is
a non NULL ERR_PTR(), referencing such error code is not permitted in
following code. Therefore a return value checking is necessary after 'n'
is back from btree_node_alloc_replacement().

[ 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.

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>

<content type='text'>
[ 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.

[ Upstream commit be23e837333a914df3f24bf0b32e87b0331ab8d1 ]

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.

[ 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().

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 9fcc34b1a6dd4b8e5337e2b6ef45e428897eca6b ]

In bch_mca_scan(), the number of shrinking btree node is calculated
by code like this,
	unsigned long nr = sc-&gt;nr_to_scan;

        nr /= c-&gt;btree_pages;
        nr = min_t(unsigned long, nr, mca_can_free(c));
variable sc-&gt;nr_to_scan is number of objects (here is bcache B+tree
nodes' number) to shrink, and pointer variable sc is sent from memory
management code as parametr of a callback.

If sc-&gt;nr_to_scan is smaller than c-&gt;btree_pages, after the above
calculation, variable 'nr' will be 0 and nothing will be shrunk. It is
frequeently observed that only 1 or 2 is set to sc-&gt;nr_to_scan and make
nr to be zero. Then bch_mca_scan() will do nothing more then acquiring
and releasing mutex c-&gt;bucket_lock.

This patch checkes whether nr is 0 after the above calculation, if 0
is the result then set 1 to variable 'n'. Then at least bch_mca_scan()
will try to shrink a single B+tree node.
