Subject: [PATCH] block: remove test of io priority level
Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2025 16:29:34 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250429082934.GA3896701@bytedance> (raw)
Ever since commit eca2040972b4("scsi: block: ioprio: Clean up interface
definition"), the io priority level is masked and can no longer be larger
than IOPRIO_NR_LEVELS so remove this now useless test.
The actual test of io prio level is done in ioprio_value() where any
invalid input of class/level/hint will result in an invalid class being
passed to the syscall, this is introduced in commit 01584c1e2337("scsi:
block: Improve ioprio value validity checks").

Kexin reported a LTP/ioprio_set03 case failure, where the test would
pass IOPRIO_CLASS_BE with priority level 8 and see if kernel would
return error. Turned out she is using an old kernel header where the
change introduced in commit 01584c1e2337("scsi: block: Improve ioprio
value validity checks") isn't available. During troubleshooting, I find
this priority level test confusing and misleading so I think it should
be removed.
