[PATCH] block: tolerate 0 byte discard_granularity in __blkdev_issue_discard()

From: Coly Li
Date: Tue Aug 04 2020 - 10:23:54 EST


When some buggy driver doesn't set its queue->limits.discard_granularity
(e.g. current loop device driver), discard at LBA 0 on such device will
trigger a kernel BUG() panic from block/blk-mq.c:563.

This is the procedure to reproduce the panic,
# modprobe scsi_debug delay=0 dev_size_mb=2048 max_queue=1
# losetup -f /dev/nvme0n1 --direct-io=on
# blkdiscard /dev/loop0 -o 0 -l 0x200

This is how the BUG() panic triggered by __blkdev_issue_discard(),
- For a NVMe SSD backing loop device, the driver does not initialize
its queue->limits.discard_granularity and leaves it to 0.
- When discard on LBA 0 of the loop device, __blkdev_issue_discard()
is called before loop device driver code.
- Inside __blkdev_issue_discard(), when calculating value of
granularity_aligned_lba by
granularity_aligned_lba = round_up(sector_mapped,
q->limits.discard_granularity >> SECTOR_SHIFT);
because sector_mapped is 0 (at LBA 0 and no partition offset), and
q->limits.discard_granularity is 0 (by the buggy loop driver), the
calculated granularity_aligned_lba is 0.
- The inline function bio_aligned_discard_max_sectors() is defined as
return round_down(UINT_MAX, q->limits.discard_granularity) >>
SECTOR_SHIFT;
when q->limits.discard_granularity is 0 from loop device driver, the
above calculation returns value 0.
- Now granularity_aligned_lba and sctor_mapped are 0, req_sectors is
calculated by the following lines in __blkdev_issue_discard(),
if (granularity_aligned_lba == sector_mapped)
req_sects = min_t(sector_t, nr_sects,
bio_aligned_discard_max_sectors(q));
because bio_aligned_discard_max_sectors(q) returns 0, req_sects is
calculated as 0.
- Now a discard bio is mistakenly initialized as a 0 byte bio by,
bio->bi_iter.bi_size = req_sects << 9;
and sent to loop device driver.
- This discard request is handled by loop device driver by following
code path,
loop_handle_cmd => do_req_filebacked => lo_fallocate =>
file->f_op->fallocate => blkdev_fallocate => blkdev_issue_zeroout =>
__blkdev_issue_write_zeroes
- Inside __blkdev_issue_write_zeroes(), a 0 byte length discard bio is
composed and sent to the backing device of the loop device.
- In the I/O completion code path, in my case it is,
blk_done_softirq => nrq->q->mq_ops->complete => nvme_pci_complete_rq
=> nvme_complete_rq => blk_mq_end_request
inside blk_mq_end_request(), blk_update_request() is called and due to
req->bio is NULL in previous step, blk_update_request() returns false
then the BUG() panic in blk_mq_end_request() is triggered.

Although the above panic can be fixed in loop device driver, the generic
__blkdev_issue_discard() should also be fixed to tolerate the incorrect
0 value from queue->limits.discard_granularity, in case some other buggy
driver makes such mistake again.

This patch checks whether q->limits.discard_granularity is 0 in
__blkdev_issue_discard() and bio_aligned_discard_max_sectors(). If it is
0 from some buggy driver queue, prints a warning oops information and
set queue_logical_block_size(q) to a local variable discard_granularity.
This local variable is used in round_up() and round_down() calculation,
now req_sects won't be 0 and no empty discard request is generated.

Fixes: 9b15d109a6b2 ("block: improve discard bio alignment in __blkdev_issue_discard()")
Fixes: c52abf563049 ("loop: Better discard support for block devices")
