From 78d8e58a086b214dddf1fd463e20a7e1d82d7866 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Snitzer Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2015 10:01:13 -0400 Subject: Revert "block, dm: don't copy bios for request clones" This reverts commit 5f1b670d0bef508a5554d92525f5f6d00d640b38. Justification for revert as reported in this dm-devel post: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-June/msg00160.html this change should not be pushed to mainline yet. Firstly, Christoph has a newer version of the patch that fixes silent data corruption problem: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-May/msg00229.html And the new version still depends on LLDDs to always complete requests to the end when error happens, while block API doesn't enforce such a requirement. If the assumption is ever broken, the inconsistency between request and bio (e.g. rq->__sector and rq->bio) will cause silent data corruption: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-June/msg00022.html Reported-by: Junichi Nomura Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer --- include/linux/blkdev.h | 6 +++++- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'include/linux/blkdev.h') diff --git a/include/linux/blkdev.h b/include/linux/blkdev.h index 776d2ee43ba6..41c0fb573dff 100644 --- a/include/linux/blkdev.h +++ b/include/linux/blkdev.h @@ -775,7 +775,11 @@ extern void blk_add_request_payload(struct request *rq, struct page *page, unsigned int len); extern int blk_rq_check_limits(struct request_queue *q, struct request *rq); extern int blk_lld_busy(struct request_queue *q); -extern void blk_rq_prep_clone(struct request *rq, struct request *rq_src); +extern int blk_rq_prep_clone(struct request *rq, struct request *rq_src, + struct bio_set *bs, gfp_t gfp_mask, + int (*bio_ctr)(struct bio *, struct bio *, void *), + void *data); +extern void blk_rq_unprep_clone(struct request *rq); extern int blk_insert_cloned_request(struct request_queue *q, struct request *rq); extern void blk_delay_queue(struct request_queue *, unsigned long); -- cgit v1.2.3
