Subject: [PATCH] aoe: end barrier bios with EOPNOTSUPP
Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2009 12:45:17 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <60772f633c524ba873f569966fccd6ce@coraid.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090908193540.GB18599@kernel.dk>

BugLink: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13942

Bruno Premont noticed that aoe throws a BUG during umount of an XFS in
2.6.31:

[ 5259.349897] aoe: bi_io_vec is NULL
[ 5259.349940] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[ 5259.349958] kernel BUG at /usr/src/linux-2.6/drivers/block/aoe/aoeblk.c:177!
[ 5259.349990] invalid opcode: 0000 [#1]

The bio in question is a barrier.  Jens Axboe suggested that such bios
need to be recognized and ended with -EOPNOTSUPP by any driver that
provides its own ->make_request_fn handler and does not handle
barriers.

In testing the changes below eliminate the BUG.

After this patch has been reviewed I plan to add this patch to
the aoe quilt tree for linux-next.
