Now that we use the proper REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES operation everywhere we can kill this hack. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Martin K. Petersen Reviewed-by: Hannes Reinecke Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: check partition alignment

2016-12-19T16:20:59Z

Partitions that are not aligned to the blocksize of a device may cause invalid I/O requests because the blocklayer cares only about alignment within the partition when building requests on partitions. device |--------4096--------|--------4096--------|--------4096--------| partition offset 512byte |-512-|--------4096--------|--------4096--------|--------4096--------| When reading/writing one 4k block of the partition this maps to reading/writing with an offset of 512 byte of the device leading to unaligned requests for the device which in turn may cause unexpected behavior of the device driver. For DASD devices we have to translate the block number into a cylinder, head, record format. The unaligned requests lead to wrong calculation and therefore to misdirected I/O. In a "good" case this leads to I/O errors because the underlying hardware detects the wrong addressing. In a worst case scenario this might destroy data on the device. To prevent partitions that are not aligned to the physical blocksize of a device check for the alignment in the blkpg_ioctl.

blk-zoned: implement ioctls

2016-10-18T16:05:42Z

Adds the new BLKREPORTZONE and BLKRESETZONE ioctls for respectively obtaining the zone configuration of a zoned block device and resetting the write pointer of sequential zones of a zoned block device. The BLKREPORTZONE ioctl maps directly to a single call of the function blkdev_report_zones. The zone information result is passed as an array of struct blk_zone identical to the structure used internally for processing the REQ_OP_ZONE_REPORT operation. The BLKRESETZONE ioctl maps to a single call of the blkdev_reset_zones function. Signed-off-by: Shaun Tancheff Signed-off-by: Damien Le Moal Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Martin K.

block: invalidate the page cache when issuing BLKZEROOUT

2016-10-11T22:06:30Z

Patch series "fallocate for block devices", v11. This is a patchset to fix page cache coherency with BLKZEROOUT and implement fallocate for block devices. The first patch is a fix to the existing BLKZEROOUT ioctl to invalidate the page cache if the zeroing command to the underlying device succeeds. Without this patch we still have the pagecache coherence bug that's been in the kernel forever. The second patch changes the internal block device functions to reject attempts to discard or zeroout that are not aligned to the logical block size. Previously, we only checked that the start/len parameters were 512-byte aligned, which caused kernel BUG_ONs for unaligned IOs to 4k-LBA devices. The third patch creates an fallocate handler for block devices, wires up the FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE flag to zeroing-discard, and connects FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE to write-same so that we can have a consistent fallocate interface between files and block devices. It also allows the combination of PUNCH_HOLE and NO_HIDE_STALE to invoke non-zeroing discard. Test cases for the new block device fallocate are now in xfstests as generic/349-351. This patch (of 3): Invalidate the page cache (as a regular O_DIRECT write would do) to avoid returning stale cache contents at a later time.

2016-05-27T02:34:26Z

Pull misc DAX updates from Vishal Verma: "DAX error handling for 4.7 - Until now, dax has been disabled if media errors were found on any device. This enables the use of DAX in the presence of these errors by making all sector-aligned zeroing go through the driver. - The driver (already) has the ability to clear errors on writes that are sent through the block layer using 'DSMs' defined in ACPI 6.1. Other misc changes: - When mounting DAX filesystems, check to make sure the partition is page aligned. This is a requirement for DAX, and previously, we allowed such unaligned mounts to succeed, but subsequent reads/writes would fail. - Misc/cleanup fixes from Jan that remove unused code from DAX related to zeroing, writeback, and some size checks" * tag 'dax-misc-for-4.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: dax: fix a comment in dax_zero_page_range and dax_truncate_page dax: for truncate/hole-punch, do zeroing through the driver if possible dax: export a low-level __dax_zero_page_range helper dax: use sb_issue_zerout instead of calling dax_clear_sectors dax: enable dax in the presence of known media errors (badblocks) dax: fallback from pmd to pte on error block: Update blkdev_dax_capable() for consistency xfs: Add alignment check for DAX mount ext2: Add alignment check for DAX mount ext4: Add alignment check for DAX mount block: Add bdev_dax_supported() for dax mount checks block: Add vfs_msg() interface dax: Remove redundant inode size checks dax: Remove pointless writeback from dax_do_io() dax: Remove zeroing from dax_io() dax: Remove dead zeroing code from fault handlers ext2: Avoid DAX zeroing to corrupt data ext2: Fix block zeroing in ext2_get_blocks() for DAX dax: Remove complete_unwritten argument DAX: move RADIX_DAX_ definitions to dax.c

block: Update blkdev_dax_capable() for consistency

2016-05-17T06:44:13Z

blkdev_dax_capable() is similar to bdev_dax_supported(), but needs to remain as a separate interface for checking dax capability of a raw block device. Rename and relocate blkdev_dax_capable() to keep them maintained consistently, and call bdev_direct_access() for the dax capability check. There is no change in the behavior.
