dm-table: fix checking for rq stackable devices

2025-08-20T16:30:46+00:00

[ Upstream commit 8ca719b81987be690f197e82fdb030580c0a07f3 ] Due to the semantics of iterate_devices(), the current code allows a request-based dm table as long as it includes one request-stackable device. It is supposed to only allow tables where there are no non-request-stackable devices.

dm: restrict dm device size to 2^63-512 bytes

2025-05-29T09:02:17+00:00

[ Upstream commit 45fc728515c14f53f6205789de5bfd72a95af3b8 ] The devices with size >= 2^63 bytes can't be used reliably by userspace because the type off_t is a signed 64-bit integer. Therefore, we limit the maximum size of a device mapper device to 2^63-512 bytes. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

dm: fix copying after src array boundaries

2025-05-09T07:50:53+00:00

commit f1aff4bc199cb92c055668caed65505e3b4d2656 upstream. The blammed commit copied to argv the size of the reallocated argv, instead of the size of the old_argv, thus reading and copying from past the old_argv allocated memory.

dm: always update the array size in realloc_argv on success

2025-05-09T07:50:33+00:00

commit 5a2a6c428190f945c5cbf5791f72dbea83e97f66 upstream. realloc_argv() was only updating the array size if it was called with old_argv already allocated. The first time it was called to create an argv array, it would allocate the array but return the array size as zero. dm_split_args() would think that it couldn't store any arguments in the array and would call realloc_argv() again, causing it to reallocate the initial slots (this time using GPF_KERNEL) and finally return a size. Aside from being wasteful, this could cause deadlocks on targets that need to process messages without starting new IO. Instead, realloc_argv should always update the allocated array size on success.

dm: introduce the target flag mempool_needs_integrity

2024-07-12T16:39:06+00:00

This commit introduces the dm target flag mempool_needs_integrity. When the flag is set, device mapper will call bioset_integrity_create on it's bio sets. The target can then call bio_integrity_alloc on the bios allocated from the table's mempool. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer

dm: optimize flushes

2024-06-26T15:32:39+00:00

Device mapper sends flush bios to all the targets and the targets send it to the underlying device. That may be inefficient, for example if a table contains 10 linear targets pointing to the same physical device, then device mapper would send 10 flush bios to that device - despite the fact that only one bio would be sufficient. This commit optimizes the flush behavior. It introduces a per-target variable flush_bypasses_map - it is set when the target supports flush optimization - currently, the dm-linear and dm-stripe targets support it. When all the targets in a table have flush_bypasses_map, flush_bypasses_map on the table is set. __send_empty_flush tests if the table has flush_bypasses_map - and if it has, no flush bios are sent to the targets via the "map" method and the list dm_table->devices is iterated and the flush bios are sent to each member of the list.
