ublk: fix tautological comparison warning in ublk_ctrl_reg_buf

2026-04-10T13:02:37+00:00

On 32-bit architectures, 'unsigned long size' can never exceed UBLK_SHMEM_BUF_SIZE_MAX (1ULL << 32), causing a tautological comparison warning. Validate buf_reg.len (__u64) directly before using it, and consolidate all input validation into a single check. Also remove the unnecessary local variables 'addr' and 'size' since buf_reg.addr and buf_reg.len can be used directly.

ublk: allow buffer registration before device is started

2026-04-10T01:10:44+00:00

Before START_DEV, there is no disk, no queue, no I/O dispatch, so the maple tree can be safely modified under ub->mutex alone without freezing the queue. Add ublk_lock_buf_tree()/ublk_unlock_buf_tree() helpers that take ub->mutex first, then freeze the queue if device is started. This ordering (mutex -> freeze) is safe because ublk_stop_dev_unlocked() already holds ub->mutex when calling del_gendisk() which freezes the queue.

ublk: replace xarray with IDA for shmem buffer index allocation

2026-04-10T01:08:35+00:00

Remove struct ublk_buf which only contained nr_pages that was never read after registration. Use IDA for pure index allocation instead of xarray. Make __ublk_ctrl_unreg_buf() return int so the caller can detect invalid index without a separate lookup. Simplify ublk_buf_cleanup() to walk the maple tree directly and unpin all pages in one pass, instead of iterating the xarray by buffer index.

ublk: simplify PFN range loop in __ublk_ctrl_reg_buf

2026-04-10T01:08:35+00:00

ublk: verify all pages in multi-page bvec fall within registered range

2026-04-10T01:08:35+00:00

rq_for_each_bvec() yields multi-page bvecs where bv_page is only the first page. ublk_try_buf_match() only validated the start PFN against the maple tree, but a bvec can span multiple pages past the end of a registered range. Use mas_walk() instead of mtree_load() to obtain the range boundaries stored in the maple tree, and check that the bvec's end PFN does not exceed the range. Also remove base_pfn from struct ublk_buf_range since mas.index already provides the range start PFN.

ublk: widen ublk_shmem_buf_reg.len to __u64 for 4GB buffer support

2026-04-10T01:08:35+00:00

The __u32 len field cannot represent a 4GB buffer (0x100000000 overflows to 0). Change it to __u64 so buffers up to 4GB can be registered. Add a reserved field for alignment and validate it is zero. The kernel enforces a default max of 4GB (UBLK_SHMEM_BUF_SIZE_MAX) which may be increased in future.

ublk: eliminate permanent pages[] array from struct ublk_buf

2026-04-07T13:40:19+00:00

The pages[] array (kvmalloc'd, 8 bytes per page = 2MB for a 1GB buffer) was stored permanently in struct ublk_buf but only needed during pin_user_pages_fast() and maple tree construction. Since the maple tree already stores PFN ranges via ublk_buf_range, struct page pointers can be recovered via pfn_to_page() during unregistration. Make pages[] a temporary allocation in ublk_ctrl_reg_buf(), freed immediately after the maple tree is built. Rewrite __ublk_ctrl_unreg_buf() to iterate the maple tree for matching buf_index entries, recovering struct page pointers via pfn_to_page() and unpinning in batches of 32. Simplify ublk_buf_erase_ranges() to iterate the maple tree by buf_index instead of walking the now-removed pages[] array.
