dax: Fix stack overflow when mounting fsdax pmem device

2020-09-20T15:57:36+00:00

When mounting fsdax pmem device, commit 6180bb446ab6 ("dax: fix detection of dax support for non-persistent memory block devices") introduces the stack overflow [1][2]. Here is the call path for mounting ext4 file system: ext4_fill_super bdev_dax_supported __bdev_dax_supported dax_supported generic_fsdax_supported __generic_fsdax_supported bdev_dax_supported The call path leads to the infinite calling loop, so we cannot call bdev_dax_supported() in __generic_fsdax_supported(). The sanity checking of the variable 'dax_dev' is moved prior to the two bdev_dax_pgoff() checks [3][4].

dm: Call proper helper to determine dax support

2020-09-20T15:55:09+00:00

DM was calling generic_fsdax_supported() to determine whether a device referenced in the DM table supports DAX. However this is a helper for "leaf" device drivers so that they don't have to duplicate common generic checks. High level code should call dax_supported() helper which that calls into appropriate helper for the particular device. This problem manifested itself as kernel messages: dm-3: error: dax access failed (-95) when lvm2-testsuite run in cases where a DM device was stacked on top of another DM device.

dax: Modify bdev_dax_pgoff() to handle NULL bdev

2020-09-10T09:39:22+00:00

virtiofs does not have a block device but it has dax device. Modify bdev_dax_pgoff() to be able to handle that. If there is no bdev, that means dax offset is 0. (It can't be a partition block device starting at an offset in dax device). This is little hackish. There have been discussions about getting rid of dax not supporting partitions. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20200107125159.GA15745@infradead.org/ IMHO, this path can easily break exisitng users. For example ioctl(BLKPG_ADD_PARTITION) will start breaking on block devices supporting DAX. Also, I personally find it very useful to be able to partition dax devices and still be able to use DAX. Alternatively, I tried to store offset into dax device information in iomap interface, but that got NACKed. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20200217133117.GB20444@infradead.org/ I can't think of a good path to solve this issue properly. So to make progress, it seems this patch is least bad option for now and I hope we can take it.

dax: fix detection of dax support for non-persistent memory block devices

2020-09-03T18:28:03+00:00

When calling __generic_fsdax_supported(), a dax-unsupported device may not have dax_dev as NULL, e.g. the dax related code block is not enabled by Kconfig. Therefore in __generic_fsdax_supported(), to check whether a device supports DAX or not, the following order of operations should be performed: - If dax_dev pointer is NULL, it means the device driver explicitly announce it doesn't support DAX. Then it is OK to directly return false from __generic_fsdax_supported(). - If dax_dev pointer is NOT NULL, it might be because the driver doesn't support DAX and not explicitly initialize related data structure. Then bdev_dax_supported() should be called for further check. If device driver desn't explicitly set its dax_dev pointer to NULL, this is not a bug. Calling bdev_dax_supported() makes sure they can be recognized as dax-unsupported eventually.

dax: do not print error message for non-persistent memory block device

2020-08-20T17:43:18+00:00

Commit 231609785cbf ("dax: print error message by pr_info() in __generic_fsdax_supported()") happens to print the following error message during booting when the non-persistent memory block devices are configured by device mapper. Those error messages are caused by the variable 'dax_dev' is NULL. Users might be confused with those error messages since they do not use the persistent memory device. Moreover, users might scare about "what's wrong with my disks" because they see the 'error' and 'failed' keywords. # dmesg | grep fail sdk3: error: dax access failed (-95) sdk3: error: dax access failed (-95) sdk3: error: dax access failed (-95) sdk3: error: dax access failed (-95) sdk3: error: dax access failed (-95) sdk3: error: dax access failed (-95) sdk3: error: dax access failed (-95) sdk3: error: dax access failed (-95) sdk3: error: dax access failed (-95) sdb3: error: dax access failed (-95) sdb3: error: dax access failed (-95) sdb3: error: dax access failed (-95) sdb3: error: dax access failed (-95) sdb3: error: dax access failed (-95) sdb3: error: dax access failed (-95) sdb3: error: dax access failed (-95) sdb3: error: dax access failed (-95) sdb3: error: dax access failed (-95) # lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 1.1T 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 156M 0 part ├─sda2 8:2 0 40G 0 part └─sda3 8:3 0 1.1T 0 part sdb 8:16 0 1.1T 0 disk ├─sdb1 8:17 0 600M 0 part ├─sdb2 8:18 0 1G 0 part └─sdb3 8:19 0 1.1T 0 part ├─rhel00-swap 254:3 0 4G 0 lvm ├─rhel00-home 254:4 0 1T 0 lvm └─rhel00-root 254:5 0 50G 0 lvm sdc 8:32 0 1.1T 0 disk sdd 8:48 0 1.1T 0 disk sde 8:64 0 1.1T 0 disk sdf 8:80 0 1.1T 0 disk sdg 8:96 0 1.1T 0 disk sdh 8:112 0 3.3T 0 disk ├─sdh1 8:113 0 500M 0 part /boot/efi ├─sdh2 8:114 0 40G 0 part / ├─sdh3 8:115 0 2.9T 0 part /home └─sdh4 8:116 0 314.6G 0 part [SWAP] sdi 8:128 0 1.1T 0 disk sdj 8:144 0 3.3T 0 disk ├─sdj1 8:145 0 512M 0 part └─sdj2 8:146 0 3.3T 0 part sdk 8:160 0 119.2G 0 disk ├─sdk1 8:161 0 200M 0 part ├─sdk2 8:162 0 1G 0 part └─sdk3 8:163 0 118G 0 part ├─rhel-swap 254:0 0 4G 0 lvm ├─rhel-home 254:1 0 64G 0 lvm └─rhel-root 254:2 0 50G 0 lvm sdl 8:176 0 119.2G 0 disk The call path is shown as follows: dm_table_determine_type dm_table_supports_dax device_supports_dax generic_fsdax_supported __generic_fsdax_supported With the disk configuration listing from the command 'lsblk', the member 'dev->dax_dev' of the block devices 'sdb3' and 'sdk3' (configured by device mapper) is NULL in function generic_fsdax_supported() because the member is configured in function open_table_device().

The addition of PKS protection to dax read lock/unlock will require that the address returned by dax_direct_access() be protected by this lock. Correct the locking by ensuring that the use of kaddr and end_kaddr are covered by the dax read lock/unlock.

dax: print error message by pr_info() in __generic_fsdax_supported()

2020-07-28T17:49:27+00:00

In struct dax_operations, the callback routine dax_supported() returns a bool type result. For false return value, the caller has no idea whether the device does not support dax at all, or it is just some mis- configuration issue. An example is formatting an Ext4 file system on pmem device on top of a NVDIMM namespace by, # mkfs.ext4 /dev/pmem0 If the fs block size does not match kernel space memory page size (which is possible on non-x86 platform), mount this Ext4 file system will fail, # mount -o dax /dev/pmem0 /mnt mount: /mnt: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/pmem0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error. And from the dmesg output there is only the following information, [ 307.853148] EXT4-fs (pmem0): DAX unsupported by block device. The above information is quite confusing. Because definitely the pmem0 device supports dax operation, and the super block is consistent as how it was created by mkfs.ext4. Indeed the failure is from __generic_fsdax_supported() by the following code piece, if (blocksize != PAGE_SIZE) { pr_debug("%s: error: unsupported blocksize for dax\n", bdevname(bdev, buf)); return false; } It is because the Ext4 block size is 4KB and kernel page size is 8KB or 16KB. It is not simple to make dax_supported() from struct dax_operations or __generic_fsdax_supported() to return exact failure type right now. So the simplest fix is to use pr_info() to print all the error messages inside __generic_fsdax_supported(). Then users may find informative clue from the kernel message at least. Message printed by pr_debug() is very easy to be ignored by users. This patch prints error message by pr_info() in __generic_fsdax_supported(), when then mount fails, following lines can be found from dmesg output, [ 2705.500885] pmem0: error: unsupported blocksize for dax [ 2705.500888] EXT4-fs (pmem0): DAX unsupported by block device. Now the users may have idea the mount failure is from pmem driver for unsupported block size.
