Subject: [PATCH] block: eliminate potential for infinite loop in blkdev_issue_discard
Date: Mon, 27 Sep 2010 14:13:22 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100927181321.GC14180@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1285605664-27027-3-git-send-email-martin.petersen@oracle.com>
Due to the recently identified overflow in read_capacity_16() it was
possible for max_discard_sectors to be zero but still have discards
enabled on the associated device's queue.
Eliminate the possibility for blkdev_issue_discard to infinitely loop.
Interestingly this issue wasn't identified until a device, whose
discard_granularity was 0 due to read_capacity_16 overflow, was consumed
by blk_stack_limits() to construct limits for a higher-level DM
multipath device. The multipath device's resulting limits never had the
discard limits stacked because blk_stack_limits() will only do so if
the bottom device's discard_granularity != 0. This resulted in the
multipath device's limits.max_discard_sectors being 0.
