Subject: rbd: fix I/O error propagation for reads
From: Josh Durgin <josh.durgin@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 17c1cc1d9293a568a00545469078e29555cc7f39 upstream.
When a request returns an error, the driver needs to report the entire
extent of the request as completed. Writes already did this, since
they always set xferred = length, but reads were skipping that step if
an error other than -ENOENT occurred. Instead, rbd would end up
passing 0 xferred to blk_end_request(), which would always report
needing more data. This resulted in an assert failing when more data
was required by the block layer, but all the object requests were
done:
[ 1868.719077] rbd: obj_request read result -108 xferred 0
[ 1868.719077]
[ 1868.719518] end_request: I/O error, dev rbd1, sector 0
[ 1868.719739]
[ 1868.719739] Assertion failure in rbd_img_obj_callback() at line 1736:
[ 1868.719739]
[ 1868.719739] rbd_assert(more ^ (which == img_request->obj_request_count));
Without this assert, reads that hit errors would hang forever, since
the block layer considered them incomplete.
