dm: use bio_clone_blkg_association

2026-02-26T22:59:18+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2df8b310bcfe76827fd71092f58a2493ee6590b0 ] The origin bio carries blk-cgroup information which could be set from foreground(task_css(css) - wbc->wb->blkcg_css), so the blkcg won't control buffer io since commit ca522482e3eaf ("dm: pass NULL bdev to bio_alloc_clone"). The synchronous io is still under control by blkcg, because 'bio->bi_blkg' is set by io submitting task which has been added into 'cgroup.procs'. Fix it by using bio_clone_blkg_association when submitting a cloned bio.

dm: fix failure when empty flush's bi_sector points beyond the device end

2025-11-20T18:50:42+00:00

An empty flush bio can have arbitrary bi_sector. The commit 2b1c6d7a890a introduced a regression that device mapper would fail an empty flush bio with -EIO if the sector pointed beyond the end of the device. The commit introduced an optimization, that optimization would pass flushes to __split_and_process_bio and __split_and_process_bio is not prepared to handle empty bios. Fix this bug by passing only non-empty flushes to __split_and_process_bio - non-empty flushes must have valid bi_sector. Empty bios will go through __send_empty_flush, as they did before the optimization. This problem can be reproduced by running the lvm2 test: make check_local T=lvconvert-thin.sh LVM_TEST_PREFER_BRD=0 Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka Fixes: 2b1c6d7a890a ("dm: optimize REQ_PREFLUSH with data when using the linear target") Reported-by: Zdenek Kabelac Reviewed-by: Bart Van Assche

dm: optimize REQ_PREFLUSH with data when using the linear target

2025-09-18T10:58:02+00:00

If the table has only linear targets and there is just one underlying device, we can optimize REQ_PREFLUSH with data - we don't have to split it to two bios - a flush and a write. We can pass it to the linear target directly. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka Tested-by: Bart Van Assche Reviewed-by: Bart Van Assche

dm: fix NULL pointer dereference in __dm_suspend()

2025-08-26T14:46:52+00:00

There is a race condition between dm device suspend and table load that can lead to null pointer dereference. The issue occurs when suspend is invoked before table load completes: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000054 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI CPU: 6 PID: 6798 Comm: dmsetup Not tainted 6.6.0-g7e52f5f0ca9b #62 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.16.1-2.fc37 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:blk_mq_wait_quiesce_done+0x0/0x50 Call Trace: blk_mq_quiesce_queue+0x2c/0x50 dm_stop_queue+0xd/0x20 __dm_suspend+0x130/0x330 dm_suspend+0x11a/0x180 dev_suspend+0x27e/0x560 ctl_ioctl+0x4cf/0x850 dm_ctl_ioctl+0xd/0x20 vfs_ioctl+0x1d/0x50 __se_sys_ioctl+0x9b/0xc0 __x64_sys_ioctl+0x19/0x30 x64_sys_call+0x2c4a/0x4620 do_syscall_64+0x9e/0x1b0 The issue can be triggered as below: T1 T2 dm_suspend table_load __dm_suspend dm_setup_md_queue dm_mq_init_request_queue blk_mq_init_allocated_queue => q->mq_ops = set->ops; (1) dm_stop_queue / dm_wait_for_completion => q->tag_set NULL pointer! (2) => q->tag_set = set; (3) Fix this by checking if a valid table (map) exists before performing request-based suspend and waiting for target I/O. When map is NULL, skip these table-dependent suspend steps. Even when map is NULL, no I/O can reach any target because there is no table loaded; I/O submitted in this state will fail early in the DM layer. Skipping the table-dependent suspend logic in this case is safe and avoids NULL pointer dereferences.

Instances are happier that way and it makes more sense anyway - the only part of the result that is related to partition we are given is the start sector, and that has been filled in by the caller. Everything else is a function of the disk. Only one instance (DASD) is ever looking at anything other than bdev->bd_disk and that one is trivial to adjust. Reviewed-by: Martin K.

dm: split write BIOs on zone boundaries when zone append is not emulated

2025-07-17T12:03:03+00:00

Commit 2df7168717b7 ("dm: Always split write BIOs to zoned device limits") updates the device-mapper driver to perform splits for the write BIOs. However, it did not address the cases where DM targets do not emulate zone append, such as in the cases of dm-linear or dm-flakey. For these targets, when the write BIOs span across zone boundaries, they trigger WARN_ON_ONCE(bio_straddles_zones(bio)) in blk_zone_wplug_handle_write(). This results in I/O errors. The errors are reproduced by running blktests test case zbd/004 using zoned dm-linear or dm-flakey devices. To avoid the I/O errors, handle the write BIOs regardless whether DM targets emulate zone append or not, so that all write BIOs are split at zone boundaries. For that purpose, drop the check for zone append emulation in dm_zone_bio_needs_split(). Its argument 'md' is no longer used then drop it also.
