 "Primarily just the virtio_pmem driver:

   - virtio_pmem

     The new virtio_pmem facility introduces a paravirtualized
     persistent memory device that allows a guest VM to use DAX
     mechanisms to access a host-file with host-page-cache. It arranges
     for MAP_SYNC to be disabled and instead triggers a host fsync()
     when a 'write-cache flush' command is sent to the virtual disk
     device.

   - Miscellaneous small fixups"

block: Kill gfp_t argument of blkdev_report_zones()

2019-07-12T02:04:37+00:00

Only GFP_KERNEL and GFP_NOIO are used with blkdev_report_zones(). In
preparation of using vmalloc() for large report buffer and zone array
allocations used by this function, remove its "gfp_t gfp_mask" argument
and rely on the caller context to use memalloc_noio_save/restore() where
necessary (block layer zone revalidation and dm-zoned I/O error path).

dm: enable synchronous dax

2019-07-05T22:19:10+00:00

This patch sets dax device 'DAXDEV_SYNC' flag if all the target
devices of device mapper support synchrononous DAX. If device
mapper consists of both synchronous and asynchronous dax devices,
we don't set 'DAXDEV_SYNC' flag.

'dm_table_supports_dax' is refactored to pass 'iterate_devices_fn'
as argument so that the callers can pass the appropriate functions.

libnvdimm: add dax_dev sync flag

2019-07-05T22:19:10+00:00

This patch adds 'DAXDEV_SYNC' flag which is set
for nd_region doing synchronous flush. This later
is used to disable MAP_SYNC functionality for
ext4 & xfs filesystem for devices don't support
synchronous flush.

dm: make sure to obey max_io_len_target_boundary

2019-05-21T23:15:20+00:00

Commit 61697a6abd24 ("dm: eliminate 'split_discard_bios' flag from DM
target interface") incorrectly removed code from
__send_changing_extent_only() that is required to impose a per-target IO
boundary on IO that exceeds max_io_len_target_boundary().  Otherwise
"special" IO (e.g. DISCARD, WRITE SAME, WRITE ZEROES) can write beyond
where allowed.

Fix this by restoring the max_io_len_target_boundary() limit in
__send_changing_extent_only()

dax: Arrange for dax_supported check to span multiple devices

2019-05-20T22:02:08+00:00

Pankaj reports that starting with commit ad428cdb525a "dax: Check the
end of the block-device capacity with dax_direct_access()" device-mapper
no longer allows dax operation. This results from the stricter checks in
__bdev_dax_supported() that validate that the start and end of a
block-device map to the same 'pagemap' instance.

Teach the dax-core and device-mapper to validate the 'pagemap' on a
per-target basis. This is accomplished by refactoring the
bdev_dax_supported() internals into generic_fsdax_supported() which
takes a sector range to validate. Consequently generic_fsdax_supported()
is suitable to be used in a device-mapper ->iterate_devices() callback.
A new ->dax_supported() operation is added to allow composite devices to
split and route upper-level bdev_dax_supported() requests.

dm: disable DISCARD if the underlying storage no longer supports it

2019-04-04T19:33:59+00:00

Storage devices which report supporting discard commands like
WRITE_SAME_16 with unmap, but reject discard commands sent to the
storage device.  This is a clear storage firmware bug but it doesn't
change the fact that should a program cause discards to be sent to a
multipath device layered on this buggy storage, all paths can end up
failed at the same time from the discards, causing possible I/O loss.

The first discard to a path will fail with Illegal Request, Invalid
field in cdb, e.g.:
 kernel: sd 8:0:8:19: [sdfn] tag#0 FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE
 kernel: sd 8:0:8:19: [sdfn] tag#0 Sense Key : Illegal Request [current]
 kernel: sd 8:0:8:19: [sdfn] tag#0 Add. Sense: Invalid field in cdb
 kernel: sd 8:0:8:19: [sdfn] tag#0 CDB: Write same(16) 93 08 00 00 00 00 00 a0 08 00 00 00 80 00 00 00
 kernel: blk_update_request: critical target error, dev sdfn, sector 10487808

The SCSI layer converts this to the BLK_STS_TARGET error number, the sd
device disables its support for discard on this path, and because of the
BLK_STS_TARGET error multipath fails the discard without failing any
path or retrying down a different path.  But subsequent discards can
cause path failures.  Any discards sent to the path which already failed
a discard ends up failing with EIO from blk_cloned_rq_check_limits with
an "over max size limit" error since the discard limit was set to 0 by
the sd driver for the path.  As the error is EIO, this now fails the
path and multipath tries to send the discard down the next path.  This
cycle continues as discards are sent until all paths fail.

Fix this by training DM core to disable DISCARD if the underlying
storage already did so.

Also, fix branching in dm_done() and clone_endio() to reflect the
mutually exclussive nature of the IO operations in question.
