commit 9ae6e8b1c9bbf6874163d1243e393137313762b7 upstream.
During postsuspend dm-era does the following:
1. Archives the current era
2. Commits the metadata, as part of the RPC call for archiving the
current era
3. Stops the worker
Until the worker stops, it might write to the metadata again. Moreover,
these writes are not flushed to disk immediately, but are cached by the
dm-bufio client, which writes them back asynchronously.
As a result, the committed metadata of a suspended dm-era device might
not be consistent with the in-core metadata.
In some cases, this can result in the corruption of the on-disk
metadata. Suppose the following sequence of events:
1. Load a new table, e.g. a snapshot-origin table, to a device with a
dm-era table
2. Suspend the device
3. dm-era commits its metadata, but the worker does a few more metadata
writes until it stops, as part of digesting an archived writeset
4. These writes are cached by the dm-bufio client
5. Load the dm-era table to another device.
6. The new instance of the dm-era target loads the committed, on-disk
metadata, which don't include the extra writes done by the worker
after the metadata commit.
7. Resume the new device
8. The new dm-era target instance starts using the metadata
9. Resume the original device
10. The destructor of the old dm-era target instance is called and
destroys the dm-bufio client, which results in flushing the cached
writes to disk
11. These writes might overwrite the writes done by the new dm-era
instance, hence corrupting its metadata.
Fix this by committing the metadata after the worker stops running.
stop_worker uses flush_workqueue to flush the current work. However, the
work item may re-queue itself and flush_workqueue doesn't wait for
re-queued works to finish.
This could result in the worker changing the metadata after they have
been committed, or writing to the metadata concurrently with the commit
in the postsuspend thread.
Use drain_workqueue instead, which waits until the work and all
re-queued works finish.

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.
