4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@xxxxxxx> commit 297ba57dcdec7ea37e702bcf1a577ac32a034e21 upstream. This patch avoids that removing a path controlled by the dm-mpath driver while mkfs is running triggers the following kernel bug: kernel BUG at block/blk-core.c:3347! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN CPU: 20 PID: 24369 Comm: mkfs.ext4 Not tainted 4.18.0-rc1-dbg+ #2 RIP: 0010:blk_end_request_all+0x68/0x70 Call Trace: <IRQ> dm_softirq_done+0x326/0x3d0 [dm_mod] blk_done_softirq+0x19b/0x1e0 __do_softirq+0x128/0x60d irq_exit+0x100/0x110 smp_call_function_single_interrupt+0x90/0x330 call_function_single_interrupt+0xf/0x20 </IRQ> Fixes: f9d03f96b988 ("block: improve handling of the magic discard payload") Reviewed-by: Ming Lei <ming.lei@xxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Acked-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@xxxxxxx> Cc: Hannes Reinecke <hare@xxxxxxxx> Cc: Johannes Thumshirn <jthumshirn@xxxxxxx> Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- block/blk-core.c | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) --- a/block/blk-core.c +++ b/block/blk-core.c @@ -3150,6 +3150,10 @@ static void __blk_rq_prep_clone(struct r dst->cpu = src->cpu; dst->__sector = blk_rq_pos(src); dst->__data_len = blk_rq_bytes(src); + if (src->rq_flags & RQF_SPECIAL_PAYLOAD) { + dst->rq_flags |= RQF_SPECIAL_PAYLOAD; + dst->special_vec = src->special_vec; + } dst->nr_phys_segments = src->nr_phys_segments; dst->ioprio = src->ioprio; dst->extra_len = src->extra_len;
