Subject: [PATCH v5 3/8] nbd: reset write cache on disconnect
Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2026 16:20:41 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260730082046.3459239-4-yangerkun@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260730082046.3459239-1-yangerkun@huawei.com>

An inactive nbd device may refuse any I/O operations. The nbd_config_put
function calls invalidate_disk, which sets the device capacity to zero
to reject all read and write I/O. For zero-sector flush I/O requests
from blkdev_issue_flush, if the write cache is disabled, the zero-sector
flush I/O immediately returns 0 in submit_bio_noacct. However, since
nbd_config_put does not clear the write cache state, an inactive nbd
device might still have the write cache enabled. In this situation,
zero-sector flush I/O will return -EIO because there is no active socket.
Although this does not cause any bugs, resetting the write cache state
would make the behavior consistent.
