Can drop blocks_needed.

We don't actually alloc the area here any more. Could probably rename
it to be similar to gather_data_area.

Yes, will rename to scatter_data_area.

I think here and in the error case below, you need to do a
tcmu_cmd_free_data.

Yes, good catch, and the tcmu_cmd_free_data is needed here to free the bits in udev->data_bitmap.
And the unlock will be added in the first patch.

Is it a userspace bug when this happens? Do you know when it is occcuring?
Since the UIO will map the whole ring buffer to the user space at the beginning, and the userspace is allowed and legal to access any block within the limits of the mapped ring area.

But actually when this happens, it normally will be one bug of the userspace. Without this checking the kernel will output many page fault dump traces.

Maybe here outputing some warning message is a good idea, and will be easy to debug for userspace.

To avoid starvation, I think you want a second list/fifo that holds the
watiers. In tcmu_get_empty_block if the list is not empty, record how
many pages we needed and then add the device to the list and wait in
tcmu_queue_cmd_ring.

Above if we freed enough pages for the device at head then wake up the
device.

I think you also need a wake_up call in the completion path in case the
initial call could not free enough pages. It could probably check if the
completion was going to free enough pages for a waiter and then call wake.

Yes, I meant to introduce this later after this series to not let the patches too
complex to review.

If you agree I will do this later, or in V7 series ?

No need to set unmap_thread to NULL since nothing will ever see it
again. You should set ret to an error value so module_init is failed
properly:

ret = PTR_ERR(unmap_thread);


Will fix it.
