dm-bufio: align write boundary on physical block size

2026-01-11T14:19:08+00:00

commit d0ac06ae53be0cdb61f5fe6b62d25d3317c51657 upstream. There may be devices with physical block size larger than 4k. If dm-bufio sends I/O that is not aligned on physical block size, performance is degraded. The 4k minimum alignment limit is there because some SSDs report logical and physical block size 512 despite having 4k internally - so dm-bufio shouldn't send I/Os not aligned on 4k boundary, because they perform badly (the SSD does read-modify-write for them).

dm thin metadata: Fix ABBA deadlock by resetting dm_bufio_client

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

[ Upstream commit d48300120627a1cb98914738fff38b424625b8ad ] As described in commit 8111964f1b85 ("dm thin: Fix ABBA deadlock between shrink_slab and dm_pool_abort_metadata"), ABBA deadlocks will be triggered because shrinker_rwsem currently needs to held by dm_pool_abort_metadata() as a side-effect of thin-pool metadata operation failure.

dm bufio: use the acquire memory barrier when testing for B_READING

2022-10-18T16:38:16+00:00

The function test_bit doesn't provide any memory barrier. It may be possible that the read requests that follow test_bit(B_READING, &b->state) are reordered before the test, reading invalid data that existed before B_READING was cleared. Fix this bug by changing test_bit to test_bit_acquire. This is particularly important on arches with weak(er) memory ordering (e.g. arm64).

dm bufio: fix some cases where the code sleeps with spinlock held

2022-08-11T15:10:42+00:00

Commit b32d45824aa7 ("dm bufio: Add DM_BUFIO_CLIENT_NO_SLEEP flag") added a "NO_SLEEP" mode, it replaces a mutex with a spinlock, and it is only usable when the device is in read-only mode (because the write path may be sleeping while holding the dm_bufio_client lock). However, there are still two points where the code could sleep even in read-only mode. One is in __get_unclaimed_buffer -> __make_buffer_clean. The other is in __try_evict_buffer -> __make_buffer_clean. These functions will call __make_buffer_clean which sleeps if the buffer is being read. Fix these cases so that if c->no_sleep is set __make_buffer_clean will not be called and the buffer will be skipped instead.
