dm: fix potential for q->make_request_fn NULL pointer

2020-02-11T12:35:27+00:00

commit 47ace7e012b9f7ad71d43ac9063d335ea3d6820b upstream.

Move blk_queue_make_request() to dm.c:alloc_dev() so that
q->make_request_fn is never NULL during the lifetime of a DM device
(even one that is created without a DM table).

Otherwise generic_make_request() will crash simply by doing:
  dmsetup create -n test
  mount /dev/dm-N /mnt

While at it, move ->congested_data initialization out of
dm.c:alloc_dev() and into the bio-based specific init method.

dm: make dm_table_find_target return NULL

2019-08-23T14:13:12+00:00

Currently, if we pass too high sector number to dm_table_find_target, it
returns zeroed dm_target structure and callers test if the structure is
zeroed with the macro dm_target_is_valid.

However, returning NULL is common practice to indicate errors.

This patch refactors the dm code, so that dm_table_find_target returns
NULL and its callers test the returned value for NULL. The macro
dm_target_is_valid is deleted. In alloc_targets, we no longer allocate an
extra zeroed target.

     The new virtio_pmem facility introduces a paravirtualized

     for MAP_SYNC to be disabled and instead triggers a host fsync()

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.

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.
