Ofir Gal 655cc01889 md/md-bitmap: fix writing non bitmap pages 
commit ab99a87542 upstream.

__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:
...

README 

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.
