Mike Snitzer 9dd1cd3220 dm: fix dm-raid crash if md_handle_request() splits bio
Commit ca522482e3 ("dm: pass NULL bdev to bio_alloc_clone")
introduced the optimization to _not_ perform bio_associate_blkg()'s
relatively costly work when DM core clones its bio. But in doing so it
exposed the possibility for DM's cloned bio to alter DM target
behavior (e.g. crash) if a target were to issue IO without first
calling bio_set_dev().

The DM raid target can trigger an MD crash due to its need to split
the DM bio that is passed to md_handle_request(). The split will
recurse to submit_bio_noacct() using a bio with an uninitialized
->bi_blkg. This NULL bio->bi_blkg causes blk_throtl_bio() to
dereference a NULL blkg_to_tg(bio->bi_blkg).

Fix this in DM core by adding a new 'needs_bio_set_dev' target flag that
will make alloc_tio() call bio_set_dev() on behalf of the target.
dm-raid is the only target that requires this flag. bio_set_dev()
initializes the DM cloned bio's ->bi_blkg, using bio_associate_blkg,
before passing the bio to md_handle_request().

Long-term fix would be to audit and refactor MD code to rely on DM to
split its bio, using dm_accept_partial_bio(), but there are MD raid
personalities (e.g. raid1 and raid10) whose implementation are tightly
coupled to handling the bio splitting inline.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
