loop: aio inherit the ioprio of original request

2025-05-02T05:47:07+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1fdb8188c3d505452b40cdb365b1bb32be533a8e ] Set cmd->iocb.ki_ioprio to the ioprio of loop device's request. The purpose is to inherit the original request ioprio in the aio flow.

loop: LOOP_SET_FD: send uevents for partitions

2025-04-25T08:43:54+00:00

commit 0dba7a05b9e47d8b546399117b0ddf2426dc6042 upstream. Remove the suppression of the uevents before scanning for partitions. The partitions inherit their suppression settings from their parent device, which lead to the uevents being dropped. This is similar to the same changes for LOOP_CONFIGURE done in commit bb430b694226 ("loop: LOOP_CONFIGURE: send uevents for partitions").

loop: properly send KOBJ_CHANGED uevent for disk device

2025-04-25T08:43:53+00:00

commit e7bc0010ceb403d025100698586c8e760921d471 upstream. The original commit message and the wording "uncork" in the code comment indicate that it is expected that the suppressed event instances are automatically sent after unsuppressing. This is not the case, instead they are discarded. In effect this means that no "changed" events are emitted on the device itself by default. While each discovered partition does trigger a changed event on the device, devices without partitions don't have any event emitted. This makes udev miss the device creation and prompted workarounds in userspace. See the linked util-linux/losetup bug. Explicitly emit the events and drop the confusingly worded comments.

loop: don't set QUEUE_FLAG_NOMERGES

2024-10-17T13:21:33+00:00

[ Upstream commit 667ea36378cf7f669044b27871c496e1559c872a ] 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 the the direct I/O support check when used on top of block devices

2024-01-25T23:27:51+00:00

[ Upstream commit baa7d536077dcdfe2b70c476a8873d1745d3de0f ] __loop_update_dio only checks the alignment requirement for block backed file systems, but misses them for the case where the loop device is created directly on top of another block device. Due to this creating a loop device with default option plus the direct I/O flag on a > 512 byte sector size file system will lead to incorrect I/O being submitted to the lower block device and a lot of error from the lock layer. This can be seen with xfstests generic/563. Fix the code in __loop_update_dio by factoring the alignment check into a helper, and calling that also for the struct block_device of a block device inode. Also remove the TODO comment talking about dynamically switching between buffered and direct I/O, which is a would be a recipe for horrible performance and occasional data loss.

loop: deprecate autoloading callback loop_probe()

2024-01-01T12:39:09+00:00

commit 23881aec85f3219e8462e87c708815ee2cd82358 upstream. The 'probe' callback in __register_blkdev() is only used under the CONFIG_BLOCK_LEGACY_AUTOLOAD deprecation guard. The loop_probe() function is only used for that callback, so guard it too, accordingly. See commit fbdee71bb5d8 ("block: deprecate autoloading based on dev_t").

loop: do not enforce max_loop hard limit by (new) default

2024-01-01T12:39:05+00:00

[ Upstream commit bb5faa99f0ce40756ab7bbbce4f16c01ca5ebd5a ] Problem: The max_loop parameter is used for 2 different purposes: 1) initial number of loop devices to pre-create on init 2) maximum number of loop devices to add on access/open() Historically, its default value (zero) caused 1) to create non-zero number of devices (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP_MIN_COUNT), and no hard limit on 2) to add devices with autoloading. However, the default value changed in commit 85c50197716c ("loop: Fix the max_loop commandline argument treatment when it is set to 0") to CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP_MIN_COUNT, for max_loop=0 not to pre-create devices. That does improve 1), but unfortunately it breaks 2), as the default behavior changed from no-limit to hard-limit. Example: For example, this userspace code broke for N >= CONFIG, if the user relied on the default value 0 for max_loop: mknod("/dev/loopN"); open("/dev/loopN"); // now fails with ENXIO Though affected users may "fix" it with (loop.)max_loop=0, this means to require a kernel parameter change on stable kernel update (that commit Fixes: an old commit in stable). Solution: The original semantics for the default value in 2) can be applied if the parameter is not set (ie, default behavior). This still keeps the intended function in 1) and 2) if set, and that commit's intended improvement in 1) if max_loop=0. Before 85c50197716c: - default: 1) CONFIG devices 2) no limit - max_loop=0: 1) CONFIG devices 2) no limit - max_loop=X: 1) X devices 2) X limit After 85c50197716c: - default: 1) CONFIG devices 2) CONFIG limit (*) - max_loop=0: 1) 0 devices (*) 2) no limit - max_loop=X: 1) X devices 2) X limit This commit: - default: 1) CONFIG devices 2) no limit (*) - max_loop=0: 1) 0 devices 2) no limit - max_loop=X: 1) X devices 2) X limit Future: The issue/regression from that commit only affects code under the CONFIG_BLOCK_LEGACY_AUTOLOAD deprecation guard, thus the fix too is contained under it. Once that deprecated functionality/code is removed, the purpose 2) of max_loop (hard limit) is no longer in use, so the module parameter description can be changed then.

loop: LOOP_CONFIGURE: send uevents for partitions

2023-04-06T10:10:47+00:00

[ Upstream commit bb430b69422640891b0b8db762885730579a4145 ] LOOP_CONFIGURE is, as far as I understand it, supposed to be a way to combine LOOP_SET_FD and LOOP_SET_STATUS64 into a single syscall. When using LOOP_SET_FD+LOOP_SET_STATUS64, a single uevent would be sent for each partition found on the loop device after the second ioctl(), but when using LOOP_CONFIGURE, no such uevent was being sent. In the old setup, uevents are disabled for LOOP_SET_FD, but not for LOOP_SET_STATUS64. This makes sense, as it prevents uevents being sent for a partially configured device during LOOP_SET_FD - they're only sent at the end of LOOP_SET_STATUS64. But for LOOP_CONFIGURE, uevents were disabled for the entire operation, so that final notification was never issued. To fix this, reduce the critical section to exclude the loop_reread_partitions() call, which causes the uevents to be issued, to after uevents are re-enabled, matching the behaviour of the LOOP_SET_FD+LOOP_SET_STATUS64 combination. I noticed this because Busybox's losetup program recently changed from using LOOP_SET_FD+LOOP_SET_STATUS64 to LOOP_CONFIGURE, and this broke my setup, for which I want a notification from the kernel any time a new partition becomes available.
