This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled target/file: Update hw_max_sectors based on current block_size to the 3.10-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: target-file-update-hw_max_sectors-based-on-current-block_size.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 95cadace8f3959282e76ebf8b382bd0930807d2c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 12 Dec 2013 12:24:11 -0800 Subject: target/file: Update hw_max_sectors based on current block_size From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 95cadace8f3959282e76ebf8b382bd0930807d2c upstream. This patch allows FILEIO to update hw_max_sectors based on the current max_bytes_per_io. This is required because vfs_[writev,readv]() can accept a maximum of 2048 iovecs per call, so the enforced hw_max_sectors really needs to be calculated based on block_size. This addresses a >= v3.5 bug where block_size=512 was rejecting > 1M sized I/O requests, because FD_MAX_SECTORS was hardcoded to 2048 for the block_size=4096 case. (v2: Use max_bytes_per_io instead of ->update_hw_max_sectors) Reported-by: Henrik Goldman <hg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/target/target_core_device.c | 5 +++++ drivers/target/target_core_file.c | 8 ++++---- drivers/target/target_core_file.h | 5 ++++- include/target/target_core_base.h | 1 + 4 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) --- a/drivers/target/target_core_device.c +++ b/drivers/target/target_core_device.c @@ -1078,6 +1078,11 @@ int se_dev_set_block_size(struct se_devi dev->dev_attrib.block_size = block_size; pr_debug("dev[%p]: SE Device block_size changed to %u\n", dev, block_size); + + if (dev->dev_attrib.max_bytes_per_io) + dev->dev_attrib.hw_max_sectors = + dev->dev_attrib.max_bytes_per_io / block_size; + return 0; } --- a/drivers/target/target_core_file.c +++ b/drivers/target/target_core_file.c @@ -66,9 +66,8 @@ static int fd_attach_hba(struct se_hba * pr_debug("CORE_HBA[%d] - TCM FILEIO HBA Driver %s on Generic" " Target Core Stack %s\n", hba->hba_id, FD_VERSION, TARGET_CORE_MOD_VERSION); - pr_debug("CORE_HBA[%d] - Attached FILEIO HBA: %u to Generic" - " MaxSectors: %u\n", - hba->hba_id, fd_host->fd_host_id, FD_MAX_SECTORS); + pr_debug("CORE_HBA[%d] - Attached FILEIO HBA: %u to Generic\n", + hba->hba_id, fd_host->fd_host_id); return 0; } @@ -220,7 +219,8 @@ static int fd_configure_device(struct se } dev->dev_attrib.hw_block_size = fd_dev->fd_block_size; - dev->dev_attrib.hw_max_sectors = FD_MAX_SECTORS; + dev->dev_attrib.max_bytes_per_io = FD_MAX_BYTES; + dev->dev_attrib.hw_max_sectors = FD_MAX_BYTES / fd_dev->fd_block_size; dev->dev_attrib.hw_queue_depth = FD_MAX_DEVICE_QUEUE_DEPTH; if (fd_dev->fbd_flags & FDBD_HAS_BUFFERED_IO_WCE) { --- a/drivers/target/target_core_file.h +++ b/drivers/target/target_core_file.h @@ -7,7 +7,10 @@ #define FD_DEVICE_QUEUE_DEPTH 32 #define FD_MAX_DEVICE_QUEUE_DEPTH 128 #define FD_BLOCKSIZE 512 -#define FD_MAX_SECTORS 2048 +/* + * Limited by the number of iovecs (2048) per vfs_[writev,readv] call + */ +#define FD_MAX_BYTES 8388608 #define RRF_EMULATE_CDB 0x01 #define RRF_GOT_LBA 0x02 --- a/include/target/target_core_base.h +++ b/include/target/target_core_base.h @@ -614,6 +614,7 @@ struct se_dev_attrib { u32 unmap_granularity; u32 unmap_granularity_alignment; u32 max_write_same_len; + u32 max_bytes_per_io; struct se_device *da_dev; struct config_group da_group; }; Patches currently in stable-queue which might be from nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx are queue-3.10/target-file-update-hw_max_sectors-based-on-current-block_size.patch queue-3.10/iser-target-fix-error-return-code-in-isert_create_device_ib_res.patch queue-3.10/iscsi-target-fix-up-all-zero-data-length-cdbs-with-r-w_bit-set.patch -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
