dm clone: Fix handling of partial region discards
There is a bug in the way dm-clone handles discards, which can lead to discarding the wrong blocks or trying to discard blocks beyond the end of the device. This could lead to data corruption, if the destination device indeed discards the underlying blocks, i.e., if the discard operation results in the original contents of a block to be lost. The root of the problem is the code that calculates the range of regions covered by a discard request and decides which regions to discard. Since dm-clone handles the device in units of regions, we don't discard parts of a region, only whole regions. The range is calculated as: rs = dm_sector_div_up(bio->bi_iter.bi_sector, clone->region_size); re = bio_end_sector(bio) >> clone->region_shift; , where 'rs' is the first region to discard and (re - rs) is the number of regions to discard. The bug manifests when we try to discard part of a single region, i.e., when we try to discard a block with size < region_size, and the discard request both starts at an offset with respect to the beginning of that region and ends before the end of the region. The root cause is the following comparison: if (rs == re) // skip discard and complete original bio immediately , which doesn't take into account that 'rs' might be greater than 're'. Thus, we then issue a discard request for the wrong blocks, instead of skipping the discard all together. Fix the check to also take into account the above case, so we don't end up discarding the wrong blocks. Also, add some range checks to dm_clone_set_region_hydrated() and dm_clone_cond_set_range(), which update dm-clone's region bitmap. Note that the aforementioned bug doesn't cause invalid memory accesses, because dm_clone_is_range_hydrated() returns True for this case, so the checks are just precautionary.
