The unaligned offsets become a problem with virtually contiguous buffers since individual bv lengths might not be block size aligned when bv offsets exist. -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel

If you compile the kernel with memory debugging, kmalloc returns unaligned memory. XFS will allocate a buffer with kmalloc, test if it crosses a page boundary, if not, use the buffer, if yes, free the buffer and allocate a full page. There have been device mapper problems about unaligned bv_offset in the past and I have fixed them. Unaligned bv_length is a problem for the affected targets.

The ones that have a problem all make assumptions about a bio's bv_offset being logical block size aligned, and each of those is accounted for here.

A lot of drivers and devices can use a smaller dma_alignment than the logical block size, so the generic block layer wouldn't really know the driver's intentions for the relationship of these limits. -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel

Have you reasoned through why those do _not_ need updating too? Is there any risk of just introducing a finalization method in block core (that DM's .io_hints would call) that would ensure limits that are a funtion of another are always in sync? Would avoid whack-a-mole issues in the future. Thanks, Mike -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
[dm-devel] [PATCHv2 0/5] fix direct io device mapper errors
From: Keith Busch The 6.0 kernel made some changes to the direct io interface to allow offsets in user addresses. This based on the hardware's capabilities reported in the request_queue's dma_alignment attribute. dm-crypt, -log-writes and -integrity require direct io be aligned to the block size. Since it was only ever using the default 511 dma mask, this requirement may fail if formatted to something larger, like 4k, which will result in unexpected behavior with direct-io. Changes since v1: Added the same fix for -integrity and -log-writes The first three were reported successfully tested by Dmitrii Tcvetkov, but I don't have an official Tested-by: tag. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20221103194140.06ce3...@xps.demsh.org/T/#mba1d0b13374541cdad3b669ec4257a11301d1860 Keitio errors on Busch (5): block: make dma_alignment a stacking queue_limit dm-crypt: provide dma_alignment limit in io_hints block: make blk_set_default_limits() private dm-integrity: set dma_alignment limit in io_hints dm-log-writes: set dma_alignment limit in io_hints block/blk-core.c | 1 - block/blk-settings.c | 9 + block/blk.h| 1 + drivers/md/dm-crypt.c | 1 + drivers/md/dm-integrity.c | 1 + drivers/md/dm-log-writes.c | 1 + include/linux/blkdev.h | 16 7 files changed, 17 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) -- 2.30.2 -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
