2024-10-10null_blk: Fix return value of nullb_device_power_store()Damien Le Moal1-0/+1
commit d9ff882b54f99f96787fa3df7cd938966843c418 upstream. When powering on a null_blk device that is not already on, the return value ret that is initialized to be count is reused to check the return value of null_add_dev(), leading to nullb_device_power_store() to return null_add_dev() return value (0 on success) instead of "count". So make sure to set ret to be equal to count when there are no errors.

2024-07-11null_blk: Do not allow runt zone with zone capacity smaller then zone sizeDamien Le Moal1-0/+11
[ Upstream commit b164316808ec5de391c3e7b0148ec937d32d280d ] A zoned device with a smaller last zone together with a zone capacity smaller than the zone size does make any sense as that does not correspond to any possible setup for a real device: 1) For ZNS and zoned UFS devices, all zones are always the same size. 2) For SMR HDDs, all zones always have the same capacity. In other words, if we have a smaller last runt zone, then this zone capacity should always be equal to the zone size. Add a check in null_init_zoned_dev() to prevent a configuration to have both a smaller zone size and a zone capacity smaller than the zone size.

2023-04-13block: null_blk: make fault-injection dynamically configurable per deviceAkinobu Mita3-23/+79
The null_blk driver has multiple driver-specific fault injection mechanisms. Each fault injection configuration can only be specified by a module parameter and cannot be reconfigured without reloading the driver. Also, each configuration is common to all devices and is initialized every time a new device is added.

When injecting a fake timeout into the null_blk driver using fail_io_timeout, the request timeout handler does not execute blk_mq_complete_request(), so the complete callback is never executed for a timedout request. The null_blk driver also has a driver-specific fake timeout mechanism which does not have this problem.

2022-12-02null_blk: support read-only and offline zone conditionsShin'ichiro Kawasaki3-4/+121
In zoned mode, zones with write pointers can have conditions "read-only" or "offline". In read-only condition, zones can not be written. In offline condition, the zones can be neither written nor read. These conditions are intended for zones with media failures, then it is difficult to set those conditions to zones on real devices. To test handling of zones in the conditions, add a feature to null_blk to set up zones in read-only or offline condition. Add new configuration attributes "zone_readonly" and "zone_offline". Write a sector to the attribute files to specify the target zone to set the zone conditions. For example, following command lines do it: echo 0 > nullb1/zone_readonly echo 524288 > nullb1/zone_offline When the specified zones are already in read-only or offline condition, normal empty condition is restored to the zones. These condition changes can be done only after the null_blk device get powered, since status area of each zone is not yet allocated before power-on. Also improve zone condition checks to inhibit all commands for zones in offline conditions. In same manner, inhibit write and zone management commands for zones in read-only condition.

The bio and rq fields of struct nullb_cmd are now overlapping in a union. So we cannot use a test on ->bio being non-NULL to detect the NULL_Q_BIO queue mode. null_zone_write() use such broken test to set the sector position of a zone append write in the command bio or request. When the null_blk device uses the NULL_Q_MQ queue mode, null_zone_write() wrongly end up setting the bio sector position, resulting in the command request to be broken and random crashes following.

2022-05-04block: null_blk: Improve device creation with configfsDamien Le Moal1-1/+27
Currently, the directory name used to create a nullb device through sysfs is not used as the device name, potentially causing headaches for users if devices are already created through the modprobe operation withe the nr_device module parameter not set to 0. E.g. a user can do "mkdir /sys/kernel/config/nullb/nullb0" to create a nullb device even though /dev/nullb0 was already created by modprobe. In this case, the configfs nullb device will be named nullb1, causing confusion for the user. Simplify this by using the configfs directory name as the nullb device name, always, unless another nullb device is already using the same name. E.g. if modprobe created nullb0, then: $ mkdir /sys/kernel/config/nullb/nullb0 mkdir: cannot create directory '/sys/kernel/config/nullb/nullb0': File exists will be reported to the user. To implement this, the function null_find_dev_by_name() is added to check for the existence of a nullb device with the name used for a new configfs device directory. nullb_group_make_item() uses this new function to check if the directory name can be used as the disk name. Finally, null_add_dev() is modified to use the device config item name as the disk name for a new nullb device created using configfs. The naming of devices created though modprobe remains unchanged. Of note is that it is possible for a user to create through configfs a nullb device with the same name as an existing device. E.g. $ mkdir /sys/kernel/config/nullb/null will successfully create the nullb device named "null" but this block device will however not appear under /dev/ since /dev/null already exists.

2022-05-03null_blk: don't set the discard_alignment queue limitChristoph Hellwig1-1/+0
The discard_alignment queue limit is named a bit misleading means the offset into the block device at which the discard granularity starts. Setting it to the discard granularity as done by null_blk is mostly harmless but also useless.

2022-04-26null-blk: save memory footprint for struct nullb_cmdYu Kuai1-3/+5
Total 16 bytes can be saved in two ways: 1) The field 'bio' will only be used in bio based mode, and the field 'rq' will only be used in mq mode. Since they won't be used in the same time, declare a union for them. 2) The field 'bool fake_timeout' can be placed in the hole after the field 'error'.

2022-04-18block: remove QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARDChristoph Hellwig1-1/+0
Just use a non-zero max_discard_sectors as an indicator for discard support, similar to what is done for write zeroes. The only places where needs special attention is the RAID5 driver, which must clear discard support for security reasons by default, even if the default stacking rules would allow for it.

2022-04-14block: null_blk: end timed out poll requestMing Lei1-1/+1
When poll request is timed out, it is removed from the poll list, but not completed, so the request is leaked, and never get chance to complete. Fix the issue by ending it in timeout handler.

2022-02-28null_blk: null_alloc_page() cleanupChaitanya Kulkarni1-7/+5
Remove goto labels and use direct returns as error unwinding code only needs to free t_page variable if we alloc_pages() call fails as having two labels for one kfree() can be avoided easily.

Only caller of null_alloc_page() is null_insert_page() unconditionally sets only parameter to GFP_NOIO and that is statically hard-coded in null_blk. There is no point in having statically hardcoded function parameter. Remove the unnecessary parameter gfp_flags and adjust the code, so it can retain existing behavior null_alloc_page() with GFP_NOIO.

2022-02-28null_blk: remove hardcoded alloc_cmd() parameterChaitanya Kulkarni1-17/+12
Only caller of alloc_cmd() is null_submit_bio() unconditionally sets second parameter to true and that is statically hard-coded in null_blk. There is no point in having statically hardcoded function parameter. Remove the unnecessary parameter can_wait and adjust the code so it can retain existing behavior of waiting when we don't get valid nullb_cmd from __alloc_cmd() in alloc_cmd(). The restructured code avoids multiple return statements, multiple calls to __alloc_cmd() and resulting a fast path call to prepare_to_wait() due to removal of first alloc_cmd() call. Follow the pattern that we have in bio_alloc() to set the structure members in the structure allocation function in alloc_cmd() and pass bio to initialize newly allocated cmd->bio member. Follow the pattern in copy_to_nullb() to use result of one function call (null_cache_active()) to be used as a parameter to another function call (null_insert_page()), use result of alloc_cmd() as a first parameter to the null_handle_cmd() in null_submit_bio() function. This allow us to remove the local variable cmd on stack in null_submit_bio() that is in fast path.
