[Linux-stable-mirror] FAILED: patch "[PATCH] bcache: recover data from backing when data is clean" failed to apply to 4.14-stable tree

We guard against this by checking (in bch_cache_read_endio()) if the pointer is stale again; if so, we treat it as an error (s->iop.error = -EINTR) and reread from the backing device (but we don't pass that error up anywhere) It should be noted that cache read race happened under normal circumstances, not the circumstance when SSD failed, it was counted and shown in /sys/fs/bcache/XXX/internal/cache_read_races. Without this patch, when we use writeback mode, we will never reread from the backing device when cache read race happened, until the whole cache device is clean, because the condition (s->recoverable && (dc && !atomic_read(&dc->has_dirty))) is false in cached_dev_read_error(). In this situation, the s->iop.error(= -EINTR) will be passed up, at last, user will receive -EINTR when it's bio end, this is not suitable, and wield to up-application. In this patch, we use s->read_dirty_data to judge whether the read request hit dirty data in cache device, it is safe to reread data from the backing device when the read request hit clean data. This can not only handle cache read race, but also recover data when failed read request from cache device.

If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable(a)vger.kernel.org> know about it. >From 51c4b8bba674cfd2260d173602c4dac08e4c3a99 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Liran Alon <liran.alon(a)oracle.com> Date: Sun, 5 Nov 2017 16:11:30 +0200 Subject: KVM: x86: pvclock: Handle first-time write to pvclock-page contains random junk MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit From: Liran Alon <liran.alon(a)oracle.com> commit 51c4b8bba674cfd2260d173602c4dac08e4c3a99 upstream. When guest passes KVM it's pvclock-page GPA via WRMSR to MSR_KVM_SYSTEM_TIME / MSR_KVM_SYSTEM_TIME_NEW, KVM don't initialize pvclock-page to some start-values. It just requests a clock-update which will happen before entering to guest. The clock-update logic will call kvm_setup_pvclock_page() to update the pvclock-page with info. However, kvm_setup_pvclock_page() *wrongly* assumes that the version-field is initialized to an even number. This is wrong because at first-time write, field could be any-value. Fix simply makes sure that if first-time version-field is odd, increment it once more to make it even and only then start standard logic. This follows same logic as done in other pvclock shared-pages (See kvm_write_wall_clock() and record_steal_time()).
