loop: Better discard support for block devices

2020-04-03T19:44:22Z

If the backing device for a loop device is itself a block device, then mirror the "write zeroes" capabilities of the underlying block device into the loop device. Copy this capability into both max_write_zeroes_sectors and max_discard_sectors of the loop device. The reason for this is that REQ_OP_DISCARD on a loop device translates into blkdev_issue_zeroout(), rather than blkdev_issue_discard(). This presents a consistent interface for loop devices (that discarded data is zeroed), regardless of the backing device type of the loop device. There should be no behavior change for loop devices backed by regular files. This change fixes blktest block/003, and removes an extraneous error print in block/013 when testing on a loop device backed by a block device that does not support discard.

loop: Report EOPNOTSUPP properly

2020-04-03T19:44:20Z

Properly plumb out EOPNOTSUPP from loop driver operations, which may get returned when for instance a discard operation is attempted but not supported by the underlying block device. Before this change, everything was reported in the log as an I/O error, which is scary and not helpful in debugging.

loop: Only freeze block queue when needed.

2020-03-10T20:10:43Z

__loop_update_dio() can be called as a part of loop_set_fd(), when the block queue is not yet up and running; avoid freezing the block queue in that case, since that is an expensive operation.

loop: Only change blocksize when needed.

2020-03-10T20:10:41Z

Return early in loop_set_block_size() if the requested block size is identical to the one we already have; this avoids expensive calls to freeze the block queue. Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Martijn Coenen Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: remove (__)blkdev_reread_part as an exported API

2019-11-14T14:43:59Z

In general drivers should never mess with partition tables directly. Unfortunately s390 and loop do for somewhat historic reasons, but they can use bdev_disk_changed directly instead when we export it as they satisfy the sanity checks we have in __blkdev_reread_part.

loop: fix no-unmap write-zeroes request behavior

2019-11-01T14:43:20Z

Currently, if the loop device receives a WRITE_ZEROES request, it asks the underlying filesystem to punch out the range. This behavior is correct if unmapping is allowed. However, a NOUNMAP request means that the caller doesn't want us to free the storage backing the range, so punching out the range is incorrect behavior. To satisfy a NOUNMAP | WRITE_ZEROES request, loop should ask the underlying filesystem to FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE, which is (according to the fallocate documentation) required to ensure that the entire range is backed by real storage, which suffices for our purposes.

loop: change queue block size to match when using DIO

2019-10-01T15:36:01Z

The loop driver assumes that if the passed in fd is opened with O_DIRECT, the caller wants to use direct I/O on the loop device. However, if the underlying block device has a different block size than the loop block queue, direct I/O can't be enabled. Instead of requiring userspace to manually change the blocksize and re-enable direct I/O, just change the queue block sizes to match, as well as the io_min size.

loop: Add LOOP_SET_DIRECT_IO to compat ioctl

2019-08-09T03:39:02Z

Enabling Direct I/O with loop devices helps reducing memory usage by avoiding double caching. 32 bit applications running on 64 bits systems are currently not able to request direct I/O because is missing from the lo_compat_ioctl. This patch fixes the compatibility issue mentioned above by exporting LOOP_SET_DIRECT_IO as additional lo_compat_ioctl() entry. The input argument for this ioctl is a single long converted to a 1-bit boolean, so compatibility is preserved. Cc: Jens Axboe Signed-off-by: Alessio Balsini Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

loop: set PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO for the worker thread

2019-08-08T16:12:21Z

A deadlock with this stacktrace was observed. The loop thread does a GFP_KERNEL allocation, it calls into dm-bufio shrinker and the shrinker depends on I/O completion in the dm-bufio subsystem. In order to fix the deadlock (and other similar ones), we set the flag PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO at loop thread entry.
