block: use int to store blk_stack_limits() return value

2025-10-29T13:01:04+00:00

[ Upstream commit b0b4518c992eb5f316c6e40ff186cbb7a5009518 ] Change the 'ret' variable in blk_stack_limits() from unsigned int to int, as it needs to store negative value -1. Storing the negative error codes in unsigned type, or performing equality comparisons (e.g., ret == -1), doesn't cause an issue at runtime [1] but can be confusing. Additionally, assigning negative error codes to unsigned type may trigger a GCC warning when the -Wsign-conversion flag is enabled. No effect on runtime.

block: avoid possible overflow for chunk_sectors check in blk_stack_limits()

2025-08-28T14:22:47+00:00

[ Upstream commit 448dfecc7ff807822ecd47a5c052acedca7d09e8 ] In blk_stack_limits(), we check that the t->chunk_sectors value is a multiple of the t->physical_block_size value. However, by finding the chunk_sectors value in bytes, we may overflow the unsigned int which holds chunk_sectors, so change the check to be based on sectors.

block: Clear zone limits for a non-zoned stacked queue

2024-04-13T10:58:07+00:00

[ Upstream commit c8f6f88d25929ad2f290b428efcae3b526f3eab0 ] Device mapper may create a non-zoned mapped device out of a zoned device (e.g., the dm-zoned target). In such case, some queue limit such as the max_zone_append_sectors and zone_write_granularity endup being non zero values for a block device that is not zoned. Avoid this by clearing these limits in blk_stack_limits() when the stacked zoned limit is false.

block: introduce zone_write_granularity limit

2024-04-13T10:58:07+00:00

[ Upstream commit a805a4fa4fa376bbc145762bb8b09caa2fa8af48 ] Per ZBC and ZAC specifications, host-managed SMR hard-disks mandate that all writes into sequential write required zones be aligned to the device physical block size. However, NVMe ZNS does not have this constraint and allows write operations into sequential zones to be aligned to the device logical block size. This inconsistency does not help with software portability across device types. To solve this, introduce the zone_write_granularity queue limit to indicate the alignment constraint, in bytes, of write operations into zones of a zoned block device. This new limit is exported as a read-only sysfs queue attribute and the helper blk_queue_zone_write_granularity() introduced for drivers to set this limit. The function blk_queue_set_zoned() is modified to set this new limit to the device logical block size by default. NVMe ZNS devices as well as zoned nullb devices use this default value as is. The scsi disk driver is modified to execute the blk_queue_zone_write_granularity() helper to set the zone write granularity of host-managed SMR disks to the disk physical block size. The accessor functions queue_zone_write_granularity() and bdev_zone_write_granularity() are also introduced. Signed-off-by: Damien Le Moal Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Martin K.

blk-settings: align max_sectors on "logical_block_size" boundary

2021-03-04T10:38:22+00:00

commit 97f433c3601a24d3513d06f575a389a2ca4e11e4 upstream. We get I/O errors when we run md-raid1 on the top of dm-integrity on the top of ramdisk. device-mapper: integrity: Bio not aligned on 8 sectors: 0xff00, 0xff device-mapper: integrity: Bio not aligned on 8 sectors: 0xff00, 0xff device-mapper: integrity: Bio not aligned on 8 sectors: 0xffff, 0x1 device-mapper: integrity: Bio not aligned on 8 sectors: 0xffff, 0x1 device-mapper: integrity: Bio not aligned on 8 sectors: 0x8048, 0xff device-mapper: integrity: Bio not aligned on 8 sectors: 0x8147, 0xff device-mapper: integrity: Bio not aligned on 8 sectors: 0x8246, 0xff device-mapper: integrity: Bio not aligned on 8 sectors: 0x8345, 0xbb The ramdisk device has logical_block_size 512 and max_sectors 255. The dm-integrity device uses logical_block_size 4096 and it doesn't affect the "max_sectors" value - thus, it inherits 255 from the ramdisk. So, we have a device with max_sectors not aligned on logical_block_size. The md-raid device sees that the underlying leg has max_sectors 255 and it will split the bios on 255-sector boundary, making the bios unaligned on logical_block_size. In order to fix the bug, we round down max_sectors to logical_block_size.

block: use gcd() to fix chunk_sectors limit stacking

2020-12-01T18:02:55+00:00

commit 22ada802ede8 ("block: use lcm_not_zero() when stacking chunk_sectors") broke chunk_sectors limit stacking. chunk_sectors must reflect the most limited of all devices in the IO stack. Otherwise malformed IO may result. E.g.: prior to this fix, ->chunk_sectors = lcm_not_zero(8, 128) would result in blk_max_size_offset() splitting IO at 128 sectors rather than the required more restrictive 8 sectors. And since commit 07d098e6bbad ("block: allow 'chunk_sectors' to be non-power-of-2") care must be taken to properly stack chunk_sectors to be compatible with the possibility that a non-power-of-2 chunk_sectors may be stacked. This is why gcd() is used instead of reverting back to using min_not_zero().

block: lift setting the readahead size into the block layer

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

Drivers shouldn't really mess with the readahead size, as that is a VM concept. Instead set it based on the optimal I/O size by lifting the algorithm from the md driver when registering the disk. Also set bdi->io_pages there as well by applying the same scheme based on max_sectors. To ensure the limits work well for stacking drivers a new helper is added to update the readahead limits from the block limits, which is also called from disk_stack_limits.

block: allow 'chunk_sectors' to be non-power-of-2

2020-09-23T16:38:14+00:00

It is possible, albeit more unlikely, for a block device to have a non power-of-2 for chunk_sectors (e.g. 10+2 RAID6 with 128K chunk_sectors, which results in a full-stripe size of 1280K. This causes the RAID6's io_opt to be advertised as 1280K, and a stacked device _could_ then be made to use a blocksize, aka chunk_sectors, that matches non power-of-2 io_opt of underlying RAID6 -- resulting in stacked device's chunk_sectors being a non power-of-2). Update blk_queue_chunk_sectors() and blk_max_size_offset() to accommodate drivers that need a non power-of-2 chunk_sectors. Reviewed-by: Ming Lei Reviewed-by: Martin K.

block: use lcm_not_zero() when stacking chunk_sectors

2020-09-23T16:38:12+00:00

Like 'io_opt', blk_stack_limits() should stack 'chunk_sectors' using lcm_not_zero() rather than min_not_zero() -- otherwise the final 'chunk_sectors' could result in sub-optimal alignment of IO to component devices in the IO stack. Also, if 'chunk_sectors' isn't a multiple of 'physical_block_size' then it is a bug in the driver and the device should be flagged as 'misaligned'. Reviewed-by: Ming Lei Reviewed-by: Martin K.
