Subject: [PATCH] mkfs: avoid divide-by-zero when hardware reports optimal i/o size as 0
Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2018 17:23:22 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6f62dbc6-f516-e8b5-1f08-6be227a61219@suse.com> (raw)
Commit 051b4e37f5e (mkfs: factor AG alignment) factored out the
AG alignment code into a separate function. It got rid of
redundant checks for dswidth != 0 since calc_stripe_factors was
supposed to guarantee that if dsunit is non-zero dswidth will be
as well. Unfortunately, there's hardware out there that reports its
optimal i/o size as larger than the maximum i/o size, which the kernel
treats as broken and zeros out the optimal i/o size. We'll accept
the multi-sector dsunit but have a zero dswidth and hit a divide-by-zero
in align_ag_geometry.
To resolve this we can check the topology before consuming it, default
to using the stripe unit as the stripe width, and warn the user about it.
Fixes: 051b4e37f5e (mkfs: factor AG alignment)
