dm_array_cursor_skip() seeks to the target position by loading array
blocks iteratively until the specified number of entries to skip is
reached. When seeking across block boundaries, it uses
dm_array_cursor_next() to step into the next block.
dm_array_cursor_skip() must first move the cursor index to the end
of the current block; otherwise, the cursor position could incorrectly
remain in the same block, causing the actual number of skipped entries
to be much smaller than expected.
This bug affects cache resizing in v2 metadata and could lead to data
loss if the fast device is shrunk during the first-time resume. For
example:
1. create a cache metadata consists of 32768 blocks, with a dirty block
assigned to the second bitmap block. cache_restore v1.0 is required.
cat <<EOF >> cmeta.xml
<superblock uuid="" block_size="64" nr_cache_blocks="32768" \
policy="smq" hint_width="4">
<mappings>
<mapping cache_block="32767" origin_block="0" dirty="true"/>
</mappings>
</superblock>
EOF
dmsetup create cmeta --table "0 8192 linear /dev/sdc 0"
cache_restore -i cmeta.xml -o /dev/mapper/cmeta --metadata-version=2
2. bring up the cache while attempt to discard all the blocks belonging
to the second bitmap block (block# 32576 to 32767). The last command
is expected to fail, but it actually succeeds.
dmsetup create cdata --table "0 2084864 linear /dev/sdc 8192"
dmsetup create corig --table "0 65536 linear /dev/sdc 2105344"
dmsetup create cache --table "0 65536 cache /dev/mapper/cmeta \
/dev/mapper/cdata /dev/mapper/corig 64 2 metadata2 writeback smq \
2 migration_threshold 0"
In addition to the reproducer described above, this fix can be
verified using the "array_cursor/skip" tests in dm-unit:
dm-unit run /pdata/array_cursor/skip/ --kernel-dir <KERNEL_DIR>

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 reStructuredText 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.
