block: use int to store blk_stack_limits() return value

2025-10-15T09:57:51+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()

2025-08-28T14:28:30+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

2024-04-03T13:28:20+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: don't allow enabling a cache on devices that don't support it

2023-07-17T14:18:18+00:00

Currently the write_cache attribute allows enabling the QUEUE_FLAG_WC flag on devices that never claimed the capability. Fix that by adding a QUEUE_FLAG_HW_WC flag that is set by blk_queue_write_cache and guards re-enabling the cache through sysfs. Note that any rescan that calls blk_queue_write_cache will still re-enable the write cache as in the current code.

block: fix revalidate performance regression

2023-05-29T14:40:32+00:00

The scsi driver function sd_read_block_characteristics() always calls disk_set_zoned() to a disk zoned model correctly, in case the device model changed. This is done even for regular disks to set the zoned model to BLK_ZONED_NONE and free any zone related resources if the drive previously was zoned. This behavior significantly impact the time it takes to revalidate disks on a large system as the call to disk_clear_zone_settings() done from disk_set_zoned() for the BLK_ZONED_NONE case results in the device request queued to be frozen, even if there are no zone resources to free. Avoid this overhead for non-zoned devices by not calling disk_clear_zone_settings() in disk_set_zoned() if the device model was already set to BLK_ZONED_NONE, which is always the case for regular devices.

block: save user max_sectors limit

2023-01-29T22:18:33+00:00

The user can set the max_sectors limit to any valid value via sysfs /sys/block//queue/max_sectors_kb attribute. If the device limits are ever rescanned, though, the limit reverts back to the potentially artificially low BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS value. Preserve the user's setting as the max_sectors limit as long as it's valid. The user can reset back to defaults by writing 0 to the sysfs file.
