Re: [PATCH] Use bio_endio instead of bio_put in error path of blk_rq_append_bio

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I had a look at the callers of blk_rq_append_bio and checked the
callers. Some changes may need to be done there and I'd like the input
of their maintainers as well before finalising the patch.

I've come up with the following patch. Some notes:

1) First of all, I think your suggestion to call bio_endio of the
   original bio in blk_rq_append_bio is right. It would make things a
   bit easier for the callers and those who I suspected need to hold on
   the bio are actually just ignorant about errors. However, it does
   change the api. So if you agree and the other parts are OK too, I'd
   make a patch without the bio_inc_remaining.

2) The osd_initiator.c seems to be a bit oblivious about errors, leaking
   not only the bios, but the request as well. I added some functions
   for proper cleanup there, with considerations:
   
   - I think it's better to unhook the .bi_next link of the bio before
     adding it to the request, because blk_rq_append_bio uses that for
     its own purposes.

   - Once the bios from osd_request have been spent (added to a
     blk_request), they can be NULL-ified.

   I'd like hear if these are OK.

3) PSCSI needs to free the bios in pscsi_map_sg, but also needs to clear
   the bios from the request in pscsi_execute_cmd in case of partial
   errors (ie. first sg segment makes it to the request, second
   fails). To my understanding, blk_put_request is insufficient in that
   case.
