dm: replace -EEXIST with -EBUSY

2026-03-04T12:20:44+00:00

[ Upstream commit b13ef361d47f09b7aecd18e0383ecc83ff61057e ] The -EEXIST error code is reserved by the module loading infrastructure to indicate that a module is already loaded. When a module's init function returns -EEXIST, userspace tools like kmod interpret this as "module already loaded" and treat the operation as successful, returning 0 to the user even though the module initialization actually failed. This follows the precedent set by commit 54416fd76770 ("netfilter: conntrack: helper: Replace -EEXIST by -EBUSY") which fixed the same issue in nf_conntrack_helper_register(). Affected modules: * dm_cache dm_clone dm_integrity dm_mirror dm_multipath dm_pcache * dm_vdo dm-ps-round-robin dm_historical_service_time dm_io_affinity * dm_queue_length dm_service_time dm_snapshot Signed-off-by: Daniel Gomez Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

dm: push error reporting down to dm_register_target()

2023-04-11T16:01:01+00:00

Simplifies each DM target's init method by making dm_register_target() responsible for its error reporting (on behalf of targets). Signed-off-by: Yangtao Li Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer

dm error: add discard support

2023-04-04T17:30:17+00:00

Add io_err_io_hints() and set discard limits so that the zero target advertises support for discards. The error target will return -EIO for discards. This is useful when the user combines dm-error with other discard-supporting targets in the same table; without dm-error support, discards would be disabled for the whole combined device.

dax: introduce DAX_RECOVERY_WRITE dax access mode

2022-05-16T20:35:56+00:00

Up till now, dax_direct_access() is used implicitly for normal access, but for the purpose of recovery write, dax range with poison is requested. To make the interface clear, introduce enum dax_access_mode { DAX_ACCESS, DAX_RECOVERY_WRITE, } where DAX_ACCESS is used for normal dax access, and DAX_RECOVERY_WRITE is used for dax recovery write.

dm mpath: fix missing call of path selector type->end_io

2019-04-25T19:38:52+00:00

After commit 396eaf21ee17 ("blk-mq: improve DM's blk-mq IO merging via blk_insert_cloned_request feedback"), map_request() will requeue the tio when issued clone request return BLK_STS_RESOURCE or BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE. Thus, if device driver status is error, a tio may be requeued multiple times until the return value is not DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE. That means type->start_io may be called multiple times, while type->end_io is only called when IO complete. In fact, even without commit 396eaf21ee17, setup_clone() failure can also cause tio requeue and associated missed call to type->end_io. The service-time path selector selects path based on in_flight_size, which is increased by st_start_io() and decreased by st_end_io(). Missed calls to st_end_io() can lead to in_flight_size count error and will cause the selector to make the wrong choice. In addition, queue-length path selector will also be affected. To fix the problem, call type->end_io in ->release_clone_rq before tio requeue. map_info is passed to ->release_clone_rq() for map_request() error path that result in requeue.

dm: don't return errnos from ->map

2017-06-09T15:27:32+00:00

Instead use the special DM_MAPIO_KILL return value to return -EIO just like we do for the request based path. Note that dm-log-writes returned -ENOMEM in a few places, which now becomes -EIO instead. No consumer treats -ENOMEM special so this shouldn't be an issue (and it should use a mempool to start with to make guaranteed progress).

Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

2017-05-06T01:49:20+00:00

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams: "The bulk of this has been in multiple -next releases. There were a few late breaking fixes and small features that got added in the last couple days, but the whole set has received a build success notification from the kbuild robot. Change summary: - Region media error reporting: A libnvdimm region device is the parent to one or more namespaces. To date, media errors have been reported via the "badblocks" attribute attached to pmem block devices for namespaces in "raw" or "memory" mode. Given that namespaces can be in "device-dax" or "btt-sector" mode this new interface reports media errors generically, i.e. independent of namespace modes or state. This subsequently allows userspace tooling to craft "ACPI 6.1 Section 9.20.7.6 Function Index 4 - Clear Uncorrectable Error" requests and submit them via the ioctl path for NVDIMM root bus devices. - Introduce 'struct dax_device' and 'struct dax_operations': Prompted by a request from Linus and feedback from Christoph this allows for dax capable drivers to publish their own custom dax operations. This fixes the broken assumption that all dax operations are related to a persistent memory device, and makes it easier for other architectures and platforms to add customized persistent memory support. - 'libnvdimm' core updates: A new "deep_flush" sysfs attribute is available for storage appliance applications to manually trigger memory controllers to drain write-pending buffers that would otherwise be flushed automatically by the platform ADR (asynchronous-DRAM-refresh) mechanism at a power loss event. Support for "locked" DIMMs is included to prevent namespaces from surfacing when the namespace label data area is locked. Finally, fixes for various reported deadlocks and crashes, also tagged for -stable. - ACPI / nfit driver updates: General updates of the nfit driver to add DSM command overrides, ACPI 6.1 health state flags support, DSM payload debug available by default, and various fixes.
