[PATCH for-next v5 0/4] add ioctl to query metadata and protection info capabilities

[PATCH for-next v5 0/4] add ioctl to query metadata and protection info capabilities

[Anuj Gupta]

Hi all,

This patch series adds a new ioctl to query metadata and integrity
capability.

Patch 1 renames tuple_size field to metadata_size
Patch 2 adds a pi_tuple_size field in blk_integrity struct which is later
used to export this value to the user as well.
Patch 3 allows computing right pi_offset value.
Patch 4 introduces a new ioctl to query integrity capability.

v4->v5
add a pad field in the user structure to align it (Christoph)
get rid of overly long lines (Christoph)
add missing nvme prefix to the patch desc (Christoph)

v3->v4
rename tuple_size to metadata_size to inflect right meaning (Martin)
rectify the condition in blk_validate_integrity_limits when csum type is
none (Christoph)
change uapi field comment to more friendly formats (Christoph)
add comments regarding ioctl behaviour when bi is NULL (Christoph)
remove the reserved fields and use different scheme for extensibility
(Christian)
Other misc code improvements (Christoph)
set pi_tuple_size and pi_offset in NVMe only if csum type is not NONE

v2->v3
better naming for uapi struct fields (Martin)
validate integrity fields in blk-settings.c (Christoph)

v1 -> v2
introduce metadata_size, storage_tag_size and ref_tag_size field in the
uapi struct (Martin)
uapi struct fields comment improvements (Martin)
add csum_type definitions to the uapi file (Martin)
add fpc_* prefix to uapi struct fields (Andreas)
bump the size of rsvd and hence the uapi struct to 32 bytes (Andreas)
use correct value for ioctl (Andreas)
use clearer names for CRC (Eric)

[PATCH for-next v5 1/4] block: rename tuple_size field in blk_integrity to metadata_size

[Anuj Gupta]

The tuple_size field in blk_integrity currently represents the total
size of metadata associated with each data interval. To make the meaning
more explicit, rename tuple_size to metadata_size. This is a purely
mechanical rename with no functional changes.

[PATCH for-next v5 2/4] block: introduce pi_tuple_size field in blk_integrity

[Anuj Gupta]

Introduce a new pi_tuple_size field in struct blk_integrity to
explicitly represent the size (in bytes) of the protection information
(PI) tuple. This is a prep patch.
Add validation in blk_validate_integrity_limits() to ensure that
pi size matches the expected size for known checksum types and never
exceeds the pi_tuple_size.

[PATCH for-next v5 3/4] nvme: set pi_offset only when checksum type is not BLK_INTEGRITY_CSUM_NONE

[Anuj Gupta]

protection information is treated as opaque when checksum type is
BLK_INTEGRITY_CSUM_NONE. In order to maintain the right metadata
semantics, set pi_offset only in cases where checksum type is not
BLK_INTEGRITY_CSUM_NONE.

[PATCH for-next v5 4/4] fs: add ioctl to query metadata and protection info capabilities

[Anuj Gupta]

Add a new ioctl, FS_IOC_GETLBMD_CAP, to query metadata and protection
info (PI) capabilities. This ioctl returns information about the files
integrity profile. This is useful for userspace applications to
understand a files end-to-end data protection support and configure the
I/O accordingly.

For now this interface is only supported by block devices. However the
design and placement of this ioctl in generic FS ioctl space allows us
to extend it to work over files as well. This maybe useful when
filesystems start supporting  PI-aware layouts.

A new structure struct logical_block_metadata_cap is introduced, which
contains the following fields:

1. lbmd_flags: bitmask of logical block metadata capability flags
2. lbmd_interval: the amount of data described by each unit of logical
block metadata
3. lbmd_size: size in bytes of the logical block metadata associated
with each interval
4. lbmd_opaque_size: size in bytes of the opaque block tag associated
with each interval
5. lbmd_opaque_offset: offset in bytes of the opaque block tag within
the logical block metadata
6. lbmd_pi_size: size in bytes of the T10 PI tuple associated with each
interval
7. lbmd_pi_offset: offset in bytes of T10 PI tuple within the logical
block metadata
8. lbmd_pi_guard_tag_type: T10 PI guard tag type
9. lbmd_pi_app_tag_size: size in bytes of the T10 PI application tag
10. lbmd_pi_ref_tag_size: size in bytes of the T10 PI reference tag
11. lbmd_pi_storage_tag_size: size in bytes of the T10 PI storage tag

The internal logic to fetch the capability is encapsulated in a helper
function blk_get_meta_cap(), which uses the blk_integrity profile
associated with the device. The ioctl returns -EOPNOTSUPP, if
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INTEGRITY is not enabled.

Applied to the vfs-6.17.integrity branch of the vfs/vfs.git tree.
Patches in the vfs-6.17.integrity branch should appear in linux-next soon.

Please report any outstanding bugs that were missed during review in a
new review to the original patch series allowing us to drop it.

It's encouraged to provide Acked-bys and Reviewed-bys even though the
patch has now been applied. If possible patch trailers will be updated.

Note that commit hashes shown below are subject to change due to rebase,
trailer updates or similar. If in doubt, please check the listed branch.

What's the status of the fio patches to support PI now that this

Hi Christoph,
Vincent and I have been working on the corresponding fio support - its
nearly ready. We plan to post the patches soon. ITMT, here's the WIP
