Title:
[Azure][CVM] hv/bounce buffer: Fix a race that can fail disk detection
Status in linux-azure-cvm package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in linux-azure-cvm source package in Focal:
In Progress
Bug description:
SRU Justification
[Impact]
The linux-azure-cvm kernel (e.g. Ubuntu-azure-cvm-5.4.0-1078.81+cvm1)
has a race condition bug in the Linux vmbus bounce buffer code
(drivers/hv/hv_bounce.c), and as a result somtimes the kenrel fails to
detect some of the SCSI disks, and the Linux dmesg log may show one of
the 2 messages:
#1: [ 2.995732] sd 3:0:0:3: [sdd] Sector size 0 reported, assuming
512.
#2: [ 3.651293] scsi host3: scsi scan: INQUIRY result too short (5),
using 36
Sometimes I see a strange call-trace (the 'order's is 18, if I print it)

2022-04-26T20:10:18,398160+00:00 store_scan+0xc8/0xe0
(This is very strange because 'order 18' means (1 << 18) * 4096 bytes =
1GBytes.)
After some investigation, we eventually got the root cause and made a fix:
https://github.com/dcui/linux-azure-cvm/commit/ddde4dc33242794000e1d9667a5f9cfa31c15fdf
With the fix, we no longer see the above strange symptoms.
Please include the fix into the next release of the v5.4 linux-azure-cvm
kernel. Thanks!
[Test case]
Microsoft tested
[Where things could go wrong]
Some SCSI drives may continue to go undetected.
