block: don't allow multiple bios for IOCB_NOWAIT issue

2023-01-29T22:18:34Z

If we're doing a large IO request which needs to be split into multiple bios for issue, then we can run into the same situation as the below marked commit fixes - parts will complete just fine, one or more parts will fail to allocate a request. This will result in a partially completed read or write request, where the caller gets EAGAIN even though parts of the IO completed just fine. Do the same for large bios as we do for splits - fail a NOWAIT request with EAGAIN. This isn't technically fixing an issue in the below marked patch, but for stable purposes, we should have either none of them or both. This depends on: 613b14884b85 ("block: handle bio_split_to_limits() NULL return") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 5.15+ Fixes: 9cea62b2cbab ("block: don't allow splitting of a REQ_NOWAIT bio") Link: https://github.com/axboe/liburing/issues/766 Reported-and-tested-by: Michael Kelley Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: remove blkdev_writepages

2022-11-16T18:32:53Z

While the block device code should switch to implementing ->writepages instead of ->writepage eventually, the current implementation is entirely pointless as it does the same looping over ->writepage as the generic code if no ->writepages is present. Remove blkdev_writepages so that we can eventually unexport generic_writepages.

new iov_iter flavour - ITER_UBUF

2022-08-09T02:37:15Z

Equivalent of single-segment iovec. Initialized by iov_iter_ubuf(), checked for by iter_is_ubuf(), otherwise behaves like ITER_IOVEC ones. We are going to expose the things like ->write_iter() et.al. to those in subsequent commits. New predicate (user_backed_iter()) that is true for ITER_IOVEC and ITER_UBUF; places like direct-IO handling should use that for checking that pages we modify after getting them from iov_iter_get_pages() would need to be dirtied. DO NOT assume that replacing iter_is_iovec() with user_backed_iter() will solve all problems - there's code that uses iter_is_iovec() to decide how to poke around in iov_iter guts and for that the predicate replacement obviously won't suffice.

block: Use the new blk_opf_t type

2022-07-14T18:14:30Z

Use the new blk_opf_t type for arguments and variables that represent request flags or a bitwise combination of a request operation and request flags. Rename the function arguments and also a structure member that hold a request operation and flags from 'rw' into 'opf'. This patch does not change any functionality.

block: relax direct io memory alignment

2022-06-27T12:29:11Z

Use the address alignment requirements from the block_device for direct io instead of requiring addresses be aligned to the block size. User space can discover the alignment requirements from the dma_alignment queue attribute. User space can specify any hardware compatible DMA offset for each segment, but every segment length is still required to be a multiple of the block size.
