2025-07-07block: remove pktcdvd driverJens Axboe1-43/+0
This driver has long outlived it's utility, and it's broken and unloved. The main use case for this was direct mount with UDF of cd-rw drives that required 32kb packets. It would collect writes into that size and write them out in multiples of that. That's not a common use case anymore, the world has moved on from those kinds of media. To make matters worse, it's actively breaking setups where it's not even required or useful.

2025-05-01block: new zoned loop block device driverDamien Le Moal1-0/+16
The zoned loop block device driver allows a user to create emulated zoned block devices using one regular file per zone as backing storage. Compared to null_blk or scsi_debug, it has the advantage of allowing emulating large zoned devices without requiring the same amount of memory as the capacity of the emulated device. Furthermore, zoned devices emulated with this driver can be re-started after a host reboot without any loss of the state of the device zones, which is something that null_blk and scsi_debug do not support. This initial implementation is simple and does not support zone resource limits. That is, a zoned loop block device limits for the maximum number of open zones and maximum number of active zones is always 0. This driver can be either compiled in-kernel or as a module, named "zloop". Compilation of this driver depends on the block layer support for zoned block device (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED must be set). Using the zloop driver to create and delete zoned block devices is done by writing commands to the zoned loop control character device file (/dev/zloop-control). Creating a device is done with: $ echo "add [options]" > /dev/zloop-control The options available for the "add" operation cat be listed by reading the zloop-control device file: $ cat /dev/zloop-control add id=%d,capacity_mb=%u,zone_size_mb=%u,zone_capacity_mb=%u,conv_zones=%u,base_dir=%s,nr_queues=%u,queue_depth=%u remove id=%d The options available allow controlling the zoned device total capacity, zone size, zone capactity of sequential zones, total number of conventional zones, base directory for the zones backing file, number of I/O queues and the maximum queue depth of I/O queues. Deleting a device is done using the "remove" command: $ echo "remove id=0" > /dev/zloop-control This implementation passes various tests using zonefs and fio (t/zbd tests) and provides a state machine for zone conditions that is compliant with the T10 ZBC and NVMe ZNS specifications.

2023-04-18block: ublk: switch to ioctl command encodingMing Lei1-0/+17
All ublk commands(control, IO) should have taken ioctl command encoding from the beginning, because ioctl command encoding defines each code uniquely, so driver can figure out wrong command sent from userspace easily; 2) it might help security subsystem for audit uring cmd[1]. Unfortunately we didn't do that way, and it could be one lesson for ublk driver. So switch to ioctl command encoding now, we still support commands encoded in old way, but they become legacy definition. Any new command should take ioctl encoding. See ublksrv code for switching to ioctl command encoding in [2].

2022-07-14ublk_drv: add io_uring based userspace block driverMing Lei1-0/+9
This is the driver part of userspace block driver(ublk driver), the other part is userspace daemon part(ublksrv)[1]. The two parts communicate by io_uring's IORING_OP_URING_CMD with one shared cmd buffer for storing io command, and the buffer is read only for ublksrv, each io command is indexed by io request tag directly, and is written by ublk driver. For example, when one READ io request is submitted to ublk block driver, ublk driver stores the io command into cmd buffer first, then completes one IORING_OP_URING_CMD for notifying ublksrv, and the URING_CMD is issued to ublk driver beforehand by ublksrv for getting notification of any new io request, and each URING_CMD is associated with one io request by tag. After ublksrv gets the io command, it translates and handles the ublk io request, such as, for the ublk-loop target, ublksrv translates the request into same request on another file or disk, like the kernel loop block driver. In ublksrv's implementation, the io is still handled by io_uring, and share same ring with IORING_OP_URING_CMD command. When the target io request is done, the same IORING_OP_URING_CMD is issued to ublk driver for both committing io request result and getting future notification of new io request. Another thing done by ublk driver is to copy data between kernel io request and ublksrv's io buffer: 1) before ubsrv handles WRITE request, copy the request's data into ublksrv's userspace io buffer, so that ublksrv can handle the write request 2) after ubsrv handles READ request, copy ublksrv's userspace io buffer into this READ request, then ublk driver can complete the READ request Zero copy may be switched if mm is ready to support it. ublk driver doesn't handle any logic of the specific user space driver, so it is small/simple enough.

2022-04-27floppy: disable FDRAWCMD by defaultWilly Tarreau1-0/+16
Minh Yuan reported a concurrency use-after-free issue in the floppy code between raw_cmd_ioctl and seek_interrupt. [ It turns out this has been around, and that others have reported the KASAN splats over the years, but Minh Yuan had a reproducer for it and so gets primary credit for reporting it for this fix - Linus ] The problem is, this driver tends to break very easily and nowadays, nobody is expected to use FDRAWCMD anyway since it was used to manipulate non-standard formats. The risk of breaking the driver is higher than the risk presented by this race, and accessing the device requires privileges anyway. Let's just add a config option to completely disable this ioctl and leave it disabled by default. Distros shouldn't use it, and only those running on antique hardware might need to enable it.

2021-11-01virtio-blk: avoid preallocating big SGL for dataMax Gurtovoy1-0/+1
No need to pre-allocate a big buffer for the IO SGL anymore. If a device has lots of deep queues, preallocation for the sg list can consume substantial amounts of memory. For HW virtio-blk device, nr_hw_queues can be 64 or 128 and each queue's depth might be 128. This means the resulting preallocation for the data SGLs is big. Switch to runtime allocation for SGL for lists longer than 2 entries. This is the approach used by NVMe drivers so it should be reasonable for virtio block as well. Runtime SGL allocation has always been the case for the legacy I/O path so this is nothing new.

2021-10-22block: remove support for cryptoloop and the xor transferChristoph Hellwig1-23/+0
Support for cyrptoloop has been officially marked broken and deprecated in favor of dm-crypt (which supports the same broken algorithms if needed) in Linux 2.6.4 (released in March 2004), and support for it has been entirely removed from losetup in util-linux 2.23 (released in April 2013). The XOR transfer has never been more than a toy to demonstrate the transfer in the bad old times of crypto export restrictions. Remove them as they have some nasty interactions with loop device life times due to the iteration over all loop devices in loop_unregister_transfer.

One side effect of (and the main motivation for) this change is making the following two definitions behave exactly the same: config FOO bool config FOO bool default n With this change, neither of these will generate a '# CONFIG_FOO is not set' line (assuming FOO isn't selected/implied).

Use the fault injection framework to provide a way for null_blk to configure timeouts. This only works for queue_mode 1 and 2, since the bio mode doesn't have code for tracking timeouts. Let's say you want to have a 10% chance of timing out every 100,000 requests, and for 5 total timeouts, you could do: modprobe null_blk timeout="100000,10,0,5" This is useful for adding blktests to test that IO timeouts are handled appropriately.

The ext4 touches came from Jan, and the xfs touches have Darrick's reviewed-by. An xfstest for the MAP_SYNC feature has been through a few round of reviews and is on track to be merged. - Introduce MAP_SYNC and MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE, a mechanism to enable 'userspace flush' of persistent memory updates via filesystem-dax mappings. It arranges for any filesystem metadata updates that may be required to satisfy a write fault to also be flushed ("on disk") before the kernel returns to userspace from the fault handler. Effectively every write-fault that dirties metadata completes an fsync() before returning from the fault handler. The new MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE mapping type guarantees that the MAP_SYNC flag is validated as supported by the filesystem's ->mmap() file operation. - Add support for the standard ACPI 6.2 label access methods that replace the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL (vendor specific) label methods. This enables interoperability with environments that only implement the standardized methods. - Add support for the ACPI 6.2 NVDIMM media error injection methods. - Add support for the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL v1.6 DIMM commands for latch last shutdown status, firmware update, SMART error injection, and SMART alarm threshold control. - Cleanup physical address information disclosures to be root-only. - Fix revalidation of the DIMM "locked label area" status to support dynamic unlock of the label area. - Expand unit test infrastructure to mock the ACPI 6.2 Translate SPA (system-physical-address) command and error injection commands.
