That's BIO_BUG_ON(!bio->bi_size);
> Software RAID 0.
Yes, there have been a few reports of this. The pagecache code
does bio_add_page() against a new BIO and it doesn't work. We
end up submitting an empty BIO and boom.
I've seen various RAID patches floating about which address this,
but either they weren't merged or they didn't work right.
Jens, what is the policy here? Should bio_add_page() for an
empty bio "always succeed"? (Bearing in mind that pages can
be 64k...). I guess -EIO would be better than a BUG.
Are there more RAID fixes pending?
Thanks.

The patch that was supposed to fix this was in 2.4.29.
The only way it should still be able to happen is with an IO request
that isn't aligned nicely, and the case in question is using ext3
which I am sure always does nicely aligned requests.
Srihari, could you possibly try with the following patch please to see
if it gives more useful information.
Thanks,
NeilBrown

No worries. That did the trick.
The following message appears just before the first oops:
Nov 27 18:56:32 localhost kernel: bio_add_page: want to add 4096 at 17658 but
only allowed 3072 - prepare to oops...
second oops:
Nov 27 18:56:36 localhost kernel: <3>bio_add_page: want to add 4096 at 426874
but only allowed 3072 - prepare to oops...
And the third:
Nov 27 18:56:39 localhost kernel: <3>bio_add_page: want to add 4096 at 427002
but only allowed 3072 - prepare to oops...
Hope that helps. I can give the oops report(s) if you need (but they are once
again the same "kernel BUG at drivers/block/ll_rw_blk.c:1950!").
Thanks.

Neil, this is the problem. Currently a driver _must_ be able to accept a
page worth of data at any location...

Even if pages are 64kbytes?

so raid0 (and linear) need to be able to split a bio .... I think
we've been here before. Did you say you have plans for some generic
helper code that could do this?

I'm afraid so... I'll come up with a splitter helper today/tomorrow.

the 64 kb pagesize 32kb chunk size case still needs fixing somehow; once
it is ataraid can start using devicemapper ;)
