[PATCH v10 0/3] fallocate for block devices

[PATCH v10 0/3] fallocate for block devices

[Darrick J. Wong]

Hi Andrew & others,

This is a resend of the patchset to fix page cache coherency with
BLKZEROOUT and implement fallocate for block devices.  This time I'm
sending it direct to Andrew for inclusion because the block layer
maintainer has not been responsive over the past year of submissions.
Can this please go upstream for 4.9?

The first patch is still a fix to the existing BLKZEROOUT ioctl to
invalidate the page cache if the zeroing command to the underlying
device succeeds.  Without this patch we still have the pagecache
coherence bug that's been in the kernel forever.

The second patch changes the internal block device functions to reject
attempts to discard or zeroout that are not aligned to the logical
block size.  Previously, we only checked that the start/len parameters
were 512-byte aligned, which caused kernel BUG_ONs for unaligned IOs
to 4k-LBA devices.

The third patch creates an fallocate handler for block devices, wires
up the FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE flag to zeroing-discard, and connects
FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE to write-same so that we can have a consistent
fallocate interface between files and block devices.  It also allows
the combination of PUNCH_HOLE and NO_HIDE_STALE to invoke non-zeroing
discard.

Test cases for the new block device fallocate are now in xfstests as
generic/349-351.

Comments and questions are, as always, welcome.  Patches are against
4.8-rc8.

v7: Strengthen parameter checking and fix various code issues pointed
out by Linus and Christoph.
v8: More code rearranging, rebase to 4.6-rc3, and dig into alignment
issues.
v9: Forward port to 4.7.
v10: Forward port to 4.8.  Remove the extra call to
invalidate_inode_pages2_range per Bart Van Assche's request.

[PATCH 1/3] block: invalidate the page cache when issuing BLKZEROOUT.

[Darrick J. Wong]

Invalidate the page cache (as a regular O_DIRECT write would do) to avoid
returning stale cache contents at a later time.

[PATCH 2/3] block: require write_same and discard requests align to logical block size

[Darrick J. Wong]

Make sure that the offset and length arguments that we're using to
construct WRITE SAME and DISCARD requests are actually aligned to the
logical block size.  Failure to do this causes other errors in other
parts of the block layer or the SCSI layer because disks don't support
partial logical block writes.

[PATCH 3/3] block: implement (some of) fallocate for block devices

[Darrick J. Wong]

After much discussion, it seems that the fallocate feature flag
FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE maps nicely to SCSI WRITE SAME; and the feature
FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE maps nicely to the devices that have been
whitelisted for zeroing SCSI UNMAP.  Punch still requires that
FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE is set.  A length that goes past the end of the
device will be clamped to the device size if KEEP_SIZE is set; or will
return -EINVAL if not.  Both start and length must be aligned to the
device's logical block size.

Since the semantics of fallocate are fairly well established already,
wire up the two pieces.  The other fallocate variants (collapse range,
insert range, and allocate blocks) are not supported.

If FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE has been set and end == isize the above code 
won't reduce end to isize - 1. Shouldn't "end > isize" be changed into 
"end >= isize" ?

Have you considered to move "if (error) return error" out of the switch 
statement?

A comment might be appropriate here that since end is inclusive and 
since the third argument of invalidate_inode_pages2_range() is inclusive 
that rounding down will yield the correct result.

/methot the documentation of invalidate_inode_pages2_range was clear
enough on that point, but I could throw that into the comment too.

For the FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE | FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE | 
FALLOC_FL_NO_HIDE_STALE case, it's probably safer not to try to send a 
discard to block devices that do not support discard in order not to hit 
block driver bugs. But that's something we can still discuss later. Hence:

I'll just change it to check the queue flags and post a new revision.
At this point I might as well repost the whole thing to reflect the
reviewed-bys.
