Hi Jens,
Could you kindly consider picking up this series via the block tree?
Please note that the raid 0/1/10 atomic write support in
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20241101144616.497602-1-john.g.garry@xxxxxxxxxx/
depends on this series, so maybe you would also be willing to pick that
one up (when it's fully reviewed). Or create a branch with all the block
changes, like which was done for the atomic writes XFS support.
Thanks very much,
John
bio_split() error handling could be improved as follows:
- Instead of returning NULL for an error - which is vague - return a
PTR_ERR, which may hint what went wrong.
- Remove BUG_ON() calls - which are generally not preferred - and instead
WARN and pass an error code back to the caller. Many callers of
bio_split() don't check the return code. As such, for an error we would
be getting a crash still from an invalid pointer dereference.
Most bio_split() callers don't check the return value. However, it could
be argued the bio_split() calls should not fail. So far I have just
fixed up the md RAID code to handle these errors, as that is my interest
now.
The motivator for this series was initial md RAID atomic write support in
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20241030094912.3960234-1-john.g.garry@xxxxxxxxxx/T/#m5859ee900de8e6554d5bb027c0558f0147c32df8
There I wanted to ensure that we don't split an atomic write bio, and it
made more sense to handle this in bio_split() (instead of the bio_split()
caller).
Based on 133008e84b99 (block/for-6.13/block) blk-integrity: remove
seed for user mapped buffers
Changes since v2:
- Drop "block: Use BLK_STS_OK in bio_init()" change (Christoph)
- Use proper rdev indexing in raid10_write_request() (Kuai)
- Decrement rdev nr_pending in raid1 read error path (Kuai)
- Add RB tags from Christoph, Johannes, and Kuai (thanks!)
Changes since RFC:
- proper handling to end the raid bio in all cases, and also pass back
proper error code (Kuai)
- Add WARN_ON_ERROR in bio_split() (Johannes, Christoph)
- Add small patch to use BLK_STS_OK in bio_init()
- Change bio_submit_split() error path (Christoph)
