    md/md-bitmap: fix writing non bitmap pages · ab99a875
    Ofir Gal authored
    __write_sb_page() rounds up the io size to the optimal io size if it
    doesn't exceed the data offset, but it doesn't check the final size
    exceeds the bitmap length.
    
    For example:
    page count      - 1
    page size       - 4K
    data offset     - 1M
    optimal io size - 256K
    
    The final io size would be 256K (64 pages) but md_bitmap_storage_alloc()
    allocated 1 page, the IO would write 1 valid page and 63 pages that
    happens to be allocated afterwards. This leaks memory to the raid device
    superblock.
    
    This issue caused a data transfer failure in nvme-tcp. The network
    drivers checks the first page of an IO with sendpage_ok(), it returns
    true if the page isn't a slabpage and refcount >= 1. If the page
    !sendpage_ok() the network driver disables MSG_SPLICE_PAGES.
    
    As of now the network layer assumes all the pages of the IO are
    sendpage_ok() when MSG_SPLICE_PAGES is on.
    
    The bitmap pages aren't slab pages, the first page of the IO is
    sendpage_ok(), but the additional pages that happens to be allocated
    after the bitmap pages might be !sendpage_ok(). That cause
    skb_splice_from_iter() to stop the data transfer, in the case below it
    hangs 'mdadm --create'.
    
    The bug is reproducible, in order to reproduce we need nvme-over-tcp
    controllers with optimal IO size bigger than PAGE_SIZE. Creating a raid
    with bitmap over those devices reproduces the bug.
    
    In order to simulate large optimal IO size you can use dm-stripe with a
    single device.
    Script to reproduce the issue on top of brd devices using dm-stripe is
    attached below (will be added to blktest).
    
    I have added some logs to test the theory:
