loop: Don't bother validating blocksize

2024-07-09T06:00:17+00:00

The block queue limits validation does this for us now.

The loop_configure() -> WARN_ON_ONCE() call is dropped, as an invalid
block size would trigger this now. We don't want userspace to be able to
directly trigger WARNs.

loop: don't set QUEUE_FLAG_NOMERGES

2024-06-28T16:37:34+00:00

QUEUE_FLAG_NOMERGES isn't really a driver interface, but a user tunable.
There also isn't any good reason to set it in the loop driver.

The original commit adding it (5b5e20f421c0b6d "block: loop: set
QUEUE_FLAG_NOMERGES for request queue of loop") claims that "It doesn't
make sense to enable merge because the I/O submitted to backing file is
handled page by page."  which of course isn't true for multi-page bvec
now, and it never has been for direct I/O, for which commit 40326d8a33d
("block/loop: allow request merge for directio mode") alredy disabled
the nomerges flag.

loop: Fix a race between loop detach and loop open

2024-06-27T22:10:32+00:00

1. Userspace sends the command "losetup -d" which uses the open() call
   to open the device
2. Kernel receives the ioctl command "LOOP_CLR_FD" which calls the
   function loop_clr_fd()
3. If LOOP_CLR_FD is the first command received at the time, then the
   AUTOCLEAR flag is not set and deletion of the
   loop device proceeds ahead and scans the partitions (drop/add
   partitions)

        if (disk_openers(lo->lo_disk) > 1) {
                lo->lo_flags |= LO_FLAGS_AUTOCLEAR;
                loop_global_unlock(lo, true);
                return 0;
        }

 4. Before scanning partitions, it will check to see if any partition of
    the loop device is currently opened
 5. If any partition is opened, then it will return EBUSY:

    if (disk->open_partitions)
                return -EBUSY;
 6. So, after receiving the "LOOP_CLR_FD" command and just before the above
    check for open_partitions, if any other command
    (like blkid) opens any partition of the loop device, then the partition
    scan will not proceed and EBUSY is returned as shown in above code
 7. But in "__loop_clr_fd()", this EBUSY error is not propagated
 8. We have noticed that this is causing the partitions of the loop to
    remain stale even after the loop device is detached resulting in the
    IO errors on the partitions

Fix:

Defer the detach of loop device to release function, which is called when
the last close happens, by setting the lo_flags to LO_FLAGS_AUTOCLEAR at
the time of detach i.e in loop_clr_fd() function.

Test case involves the following two scripts:

script1.sh:

while [ 1 ];
do
        losetup -P -f /home/opt/looptest/test10.img
        blkid /dev/loop0p1
done

script2.sh:

while [ 1 ];
do
        losetup -d /dev/loop0
done

Without fix, the following IO errors have been observed:

kernel: __loop_clr_fd: partition scan of loop0 failed (rc=-16)
kernel: I/O error, dev loop0, sector 20971392 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x80700
        phys_seg 1 prio class 0
kernel: I/O error, dev loop0, sector 108868 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x0
        phys_seg 1 prio class 0
kernel: Buffer I/O error on dev loop0p1, logical block 27201, async page

block: move the nonrot flag to queue_limits

2024-06-19T13:58:28+00:00

Move the nonrot flag into the queue_limits feature field so that it can
be set atomically with the queue frozen.

Use the chance to switch to defaulting to non-rotational and require
the driver to opt into rotational, which matches the polarity of the
sysfs interface.

For the z2ram, ps3vram, 2x memstick, ubiblock and dcssblk the new
rotational flag is not set as they clearly are not rotational despite
this being a behavior change.  There are some other drivers that
unconditionally set the rotational flag to keep the existing behavior
as they arguably can be used on rotational devices even if that is
probably not their main use today (e.g. virtio_blk and drbd).

The flag is automatically inherited in blk_stack_limits matching the
existing behavior in dm and md.

block: move cache control settings out of queue->flags

2024-06-19T13:58:28+00:00

Move the cache control settings into the queue_limits so that the flags
can be set atomically with the device queue frozen.

Add new features and flags field for the driver set flags, and internal
(usually sysfs-controlled) flags in the block layer.  Note that we'll
eventually remove enough field from queue_limits to bring it back to the
previous size.

The disable flag is inverted compared to the previous meaning, which
means it now survives a rescan, similar to the max_sectors and
max_discard_sectors user limits.

The FLUSH and FUA flags are now inherited by blk_stack_limits, which
simplified the code in dm a lot, but also causes a slight behavior
change in that dm-switch and dm-unstripe now advertise a write cache
despite setting num_flush_bios to 0.  The I/O path will handle this
gracefully, but as far as I can tell the lack of num_flush_bios
and thus flush support is a pre-existing data integrity bug in those
targets that really needs fixing, after which a non-zero num_flush_bios
should be required in dm for targets that map to underlying devices.

O_DIRECT file descriptors to also work when the loop device sits on top
of a block device and not just on a regular file on a block device based
