[PATCH 4.14 32/89] dm cache metadata: set dirty on all cache blocks after a crash

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ilya Dryomov <idryomov@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 5b1fe7bec8a8d0cc547a22e7ddc2bd59acd67de4 upstream.

Quoting Documentation/device-mapper/cache.txt:

  The 'dirty' state for a cache block changes far too frequently for us
  to keep updating it on the fly.  So we treat it as a hint.  In normal
  operation it will be written when the dm device is suspended.  If the
  system crashes all cache blocks will be assumed dirty when restarted.

This got broken in commit f177940a8091 ("dm cache metadata: switch to
using the new cursor api for loading metadata") in 4.9, which removed
the code that consulted cmd->clean_when_opened (CLEAN_SHUTDOWN on-disk
flag) when loading cache blocks.  This results in data corruption on an
unclean shutdown with dirty cache blocks on the fast device.  After the
crash those blocks are considered clean and may get evicted from the
cache at any time.  This can be demonstrated by doing a lot of reads
to trigger individual evictions, but uncache is more predictable:

  ### Disable auto-activation in lvm.conf to be able to do uncache in
  ### time (i.e. see uncache doing flushing) when the fix is applied.

This is the case with both v1 and v2 cache pool metatata formats.
