Subject: [PATCH v4 4/7] nbd: skip queue freeze when setting size at device startup
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2026 15:47:15 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260727074718.414868-5-yangerkun@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260727074718.414868-1-yangerkun@huawei.com>
The commit 242a49e5c878 ("nbd: freeze the queue for queue limits
updates") introduced freezing and unfreezing of the queue in
nbd_set_size to prevent inflight commands from seeing inconsistent
limits. However, this protection appears unnecessary during the nbd
startup process because no I/O can occur before nbd_set_size is
called (with zero capability and write cache disabled).
To address this, nbd_set_size is split with a boolean parameter
'freeze': the startup path nbd_start_device passes false, while
runtime resize or reconfigure paths (such as ioctls and
nbd_genl_size_set) pass true. Although nbd_genl_connect calls
nbd_genl_size_set before nbd_start_device, nbd->pid is zero at that
point, so nbd_set_size returns early before applying the limits
commit. The 'true' parameter covers the nbd_genl_reconnect path,
which operates on a live device where concurrent I/O may occur.
