Subject: [PATCH 4.19 13/37] dm writecache: fix data corruption when reloading the target

From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@...hat.com>

commit 31b22120194b5c0d460f59e0c98504de1d3f1f14 upstream.

The dm-writecache reads metadata in the target constructor. However, when
we reload the target, there could be another active instance running on
the same device. This is the sequence of operations when doing a reload:

1. construct new target
2. suspend old target
3. resume new target
4. destroy old target

Metadata that were written by the old target between steps 1 and 2 would
not be visible by the new target.

Fix the data corruption by loading the metadata in the resume handler.

Also, validate block_size is at least as large as both the devices'
logical block size and only read 1 block from the metadata during
target constructor -- no need to read entirety of metadata now that it
is done during resume.

Fixes: 48debafe4f2f ("dm: add writecache target")
