    commit 37527b869207ad4c208b1e13967d69b8bba1fbf9 upstream.
    
    I created a dm-raid1 device backed by a device that supports DISCARD
    and another device that does NOT support DISCARD with the following
    dm configuration:
    
     #  echo '0 2048 mirror core 1 512 2 /dev/sda 0 /dev/sdb 0' | dmsetup create moo
     # lsblk -D
     NAME         DISC-ALN DISC-GRAN DISC-MAX DISC-ZERO
     sda                 0        4K       1G         0
     `-moo (dm-0)        0        4K       1G         0
     sdb                 0        0B       0B         0
     `-moo (dm-0)        0        4K       1G         0
    
    Notice that the mirror device /dev/mapper/moo advertises DISCARD
    support even though one of the mirror halves doesn't.
    
    If I issue a DISCARD request (via fstrim, mount -o discard, or ioctl
    BLKDISCARD) through the mirror, kmirrord gets stuck in an infinite
    loop in do_region() when it tries to issue a DISCARD request to sdb.
    The problem is that when we call do_region() against sdb, num_sectors
    is set to zero because q->limits.max_discard_sectors is zero.
    Therefore, "remaining" never decreases and the loop never terminates.
    
    To fix this: before entering the loop, check for the combination of
    REQ_DISCARD and no discard and return -EOPNOTSUPP to avoid hanging up
    the mirror device.
    
    This bug was found by the unfortunate coincidence of pvmove and a
    discard operation in the RHEL 6.5 kernel; upstream is also affected.
