Subject: Read O_DIRECT regression in 3.7-rc8 (bisected)
Date: Sat, 08 Dec 2012 00:55:55 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <50C2820B.5060005@redhat.com> (raw)
Hi Linus,
seems this commit in 3.7-rc8 caused regression for O_DIRECT
read near the end of the device.
bbec0270bdd887f96377065ee38b8848b5afa395 is the first bad commit
commit bbec0270bdd887f96377065ee38b8848b5afa395
Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Date: Thu Nov 29 12:31:52 2012 -0800
blkdev_max_block: make private to fs/buffer.c
With reproducer below (tested on i386), read should return
half of the buffer (8192 bytes), with patch above it fails
completely.
Milan

int fd, r;
if (posix_memalign((void*)&buf, 4096, 2 * BLOCK)) {
printf("alloc fail\n");
return 1;
}
fd = open("/dev/sdb", O_RDONLY|O_DIRECT);
if (fd == -1) {
printf("open fail\n");
return 1;
}
if (lseek(fd, -BLOCK, SEEK_END) < 0) {
printf("seek fail\n");
close(fd);
return 2;
}
r = read(fd, buf, 2 * BLOCK);
printf("Read returned %d.\n", r);
close(fd);
return 0;
}
