commit e836007089ba8fdf24e636ef2b007651fb4582e6 upstream.
We've found that using raid0 with the 'original' layout and discard
enabled with different disk sizes (such that at least two zones are
created) can result in data corruption. This is due to the fact that
the discard handling in 'raid0_handle_discard()' assumes the 'alternate'
layout. We've seen this corruption using ext4 but other filesystems are
likely susceptible as well.
More specifically, while multiple zones are necessary to create the
corruption, the corruption may not occur with multiple zones if they
layout in such a way the layout matches what the 'alternate' layout
would have produced. Thus, not all raid0 devices with the 'original'
layout, different size disks and discard enabled will encounter this
corruption.
The 3.14 kernel inadvertently changed the raid0 disk layout for different
size disks. Thus, running a pre-3.14 kernel and post-3.14 kernel on the
same raid0 array could corrupt data. This lead to the creation of the
'original' layout (to match the pre-3.14 layout) and the 'alternate' layout
(to match the post 3.14 layout) in the 5.4 kernel time frame and an option
to tell the kernel which layout to use (since it couldn't be autodetected).
However, when the 'original' layout was added back to 5.4 discard support
for the 'original' layout was not added leading this issue.
I've been able to reliably reproduce the corruption with the following
test case:
1. create raid0 array with different size disks using original layout
2. mkfs
3. mount -o discard
4. create lots of files
5. remove 1/2 the files
6. fstrim -a (or just the mount point for the raid0 array)
7. umount
8. fsck -fn /dev/md0 (spews all sorts of corruptions)
Let's fix this by adding proper discard support to the 'original' layout.
The fix 'maps' the 'original' layout disks to the order in which they are
read/written such that we can compare the disks in the same way that the
current 'alternate' layout does. A 'disk_shift' field is added to
'struct strip_zone'. This could be computed on the fly in
raid0_handle_discard() but by adding this field, we save some computation
in the discard path.
Note we could also potentially fix this by re-ordering the disks in the
zones that follow the first one, and then always read/writing them using
the 'alternate' layout. However, that is seen as a more substantial change,
and we are attempting the least invasive fix at this time to remedy the
corruption.
I've verified the change using the reproducer mentioned above. Typically,
the corruption is seen after less than 3 iterations, while the patch has
run 500+ iterations.

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.
