commit31b2212019upstream. 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.

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.
