Since commit e73c23ff736e ("block: add async variant of blkdev_issue_zeroout") messages like the following show up: EXT4-fs (dm-1): Delayed block allocation failed for inode 2368848 at logical offset 0 with max blocks 1 with error 95 EXT4-fs (dm-1): This should not happen!! Data will be lost Due to the following fallthrough introduced with commit 2d253440b5af ("block: Define zoned block device operations"), generic_make_request_checks() would accept a REQ_OP_WRITE_SAME bio only if the block device supports "write same" *and* is a zoned one: switch (bio_op(bio)) { [...] case REQ_OP_WRITE_SAME: if (!bdev_write_same(bio->bi_bdev)) goto not_supported; case REQ_OP_ZONE_REPORT: case REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET: if (!bdev_is_zoned(bio->bi_bdev)) goto not_supported; break; [...] } Thus, although the bio setup as done by __blkdev_issue_write_same() from commit e73c23ff736e ("block: add async variant of blkdev_issue_zeroout") would succeed, its actual submission would not, resulting in the EOPNOTSUPP == 95. Fix this by removing the fallthrough which, due to the lack of an explicit comment, seems to be unintended anyway. Fixes: e73c23ff736e ("block: add async variant of blkdev_issue_zeroout") Fixes: 2d253440b5af ("block: Define zoned block device operations") Signed-off-by: Nicolai Stange <nicstange@xxxxxxxxx> --- Applicable to next-20161202. Note that after this patch, I'm seeing a single EXT4-fs (dm-1): Delayed block allocation failed for inode 2625094 at logical offset 2032 with max blocks 2 with error 121 with 121 == EREMOTEIO This is because my SATA sda reports 0x20 (invalid command) back in response to 0x41 (WRITE_SAME). After this has happened, sd_done() disables "write same" once and for all, hence only this single message. I expect this to get fixed by https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9321963/ block/blk-core.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/block/blk-core.c b/block/blk-core.c index 24de87d..1998aa4 100644 --- a/block/blk-core.c +++ b/block/blk-core.c @@ -1947,6 +1947,7 @@ generic_make_request_checks(struct bio *bio) case REQ_OP_WRITE_SAME: if (!bdev_write_same(bio->bi_bdev)) goto not_supported; + break; case REQ_OP_ZONE_REPORT: case REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET: if (!bdev_is_zoned(bio->bi_bdev)) -- 2.10.2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-block" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
