This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled blk-settings: align max_sectors on "logical_block_size" boundary to the 5.11-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: blk-settings-align-max_sectors-on-logical_block_size-boundary.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.11 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 97f433c3601a24d3513d06f575a389a2ca4e11e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 23 Feb 2021 19:25:30 -0700 Subject: blk-settings: align max_sectors on "logical_block_size" boundary From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 97f433c3601a24d3513d06f575a389a2ca4e11e4 upstream. We get I/O errors when we run md-raid1 on the top of dm-integrity on the top of ramdisk. device-mapper: integrity: Bio not aligned on 8 sectors: 0xff00, 0xff device-mapper: integrity: Bio not aligned on 8 sectors: 0xff00, 0xff device-mapper: integrity: Bio not aligned on 8 sectors: 0xffff, 0x1 device-mapper: integrity: Bio not aligned on 8 sectors: 0xffff, 0x1 device-mapper: integrity: Bio not aligned on 8 sectors: 0x8048, 0xff device-mapper: integrity: Bio not aligned on 8 sectors: 0x8147, 0xff device-mapper: integrity: Bio not aligned on 8 sectors: 0x8246, 0xff device-mapper: integrity: Bio not aligned on 8 sectors: 0x8345, 0xbb The ramdisk device has logical_block_size 512 and max_sectors 255. The dm-integrity device uses logical_block_size 4096 and it doesn't affect the "max_sectors" value - thus, it inherits 255 from the ramdisk. So, we have a device with max_sectors not aligned on logical_block_size. The md-raid device sees that the underlying leg has max_sectors 255 and it will split the bios on 255-sector boundary, making the bios unaligned on logical_block_size. In order to fix the bug, we round down max_sectors to logical_block_size.
