brd: return 0/-error from brd_insert_page()

2023-03-11T15:39:59+00:00

commit db0ccc44a20b4bb3039c0f6885a1f9c3323c7673 upstream.

It currently returns a page, but callers just check for NULL/page to
gauge success. Clean this up and return the appropriate error directly
instead.

bdi: remove BDI_CAP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO

2020-09-24T19:43:39+00:00

BDI_CAP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO is only checked in the swap code, and used to
decided if ->rw_page can be used on a block device.  Just check up for
the method instead.  The only complication is that zram needs a second
set of block_device_operations as it can switch between modes that
actually support ->rw_page and those who don't.

block: move ->make_request_fn to struct block_device_operations

2020-07-01T13:27:24+00:00

The make_request_fn is a little weird in that it sits directly in
struct request_queue instead of an operation vector.  Replace it with
a block_device_operations method called submit_bio (which describes much
better what it does).  Also remove the request_queue argument to it, as
the queue can be derived pretty trivially from the bio.

block: simplify queue allocation

2020-03-27T16:23:43+00:00

Current make_request based drivers use either blk_alloc_queue_node or
blk_alloc_queue to allocate a queue, and then set up the make_request_fn
function pointer and a few parameters using the blk_queue_make_request
helper.  Simplify this by passing the make_request pointer to
blk_alloc_queue, and while at it merge the _node variant into the main
helper by always passing a node_id, and remove the superfluous gfp_mask
parameter.  A lower-level __blk_alloc_queue is kept for the blk-mq case.

brd: check and limit max_part par

2020-02-04T14:19:33+00:00

In brd_init func, rd_nr num of brd_device are firstly allocated
and add in brd_devices, then brd_devices are traversed to add each
brd_device by calling add_disk func. When allocating brd_device,
the disk->first_minor is set to i * max_part, if rd_nr * max_part
is larger than MINORMASK, two different brd_device may have the same
devt, then only one of them can be successfully added.
when rmmod brd.ko, it will cause oops when calling brd_exit.

Follow those steps:
  # modprobe brd rd_nr=3 rd_size=102400 max_part=1048576
  # rmmod brd
then, the oops will appear.

Oops log:

Here, we add brd_check_and_reset_par func to check and limit max_part par.

--
V5->V6:
 - remove useless code

V4->V5:(suggested by Ming Lei)
 - make sure max_part is not larger than DISK_MAX_PARTS

V3->V4:(suggested by Ming Lei)
 - remove useless change
 - add one limit of max_part

V2->V3: (suggested by Ming Lei)
 - clear .minors when running out of consecutive minor space in brd_alloc
 - remove limit of rd_nr

V1->V2:
 - add more checks in brd_check_par_valid as suggested by Ming Lei.

brd: warn on un-aligned buffer

2019-12-04T16:04:26+00:00

Queue dma alignment limit requires users(fs, target, ...) of block layer
to pass aligned buffer.

So far brd doesn't support un-aligned buffer, even though it is easy
to support it.

However, given brd is often used for debug purpose, and there are other
drivers which can't support un-aligned buffer too.

So add warning so that brd users know what to fix.

brd: remove max_hw_sectors queue limit

2019-12-04T16:04:25+00:00

Now we depend on blk_queue_split() to respect most of queue limit
(the only one exception could be dma alignment), however
blk_queue_split() isn't used for brd, so this limit isn't respected
since v4.3.

Also max_hw_sectors limit doesn't play a big role for brd, which is
added since brd is added to tree for unknown reason.

So remove it.

__GFP_HIGHMEM is disabled if dax is enabled on brd, however
dax support for brd has been removed since commit (7a862fbbdec6
"brd: remove dax support"), so restore __GFP_HIGHMEM in
brd_insert_page().

Also remove the no longer applicable comments about DAX and highmem.
