[PATCH 0/4] nvmet: fix file & block device backed ns

[PATCH 0/4] nvmet: fix file & block device backed ns

[Ming Lei]

Hi,

The 1st patch sets loop queue's segment boundary mask as PAGE_SIZE - 1
because nvme target only accepts single-page sg list.

The 2nd & 3rd patches fix computation io vector.

The last patch builds bvec from sg directly.

Ming Lei (4):
  nvmet: set loop queue's segment boundary mask as PAGE_SIZE - 1
  nvmet: fix computation of io vector number
  nvmet: fix computation of bvec->bv_len
  nvmet: build bvec from sg directly

[PATCH 1/4] nvmet: set loop queue's segment boundary mask as PAGE_SIZE - 1

[Ming Lei]

NVMe target only accepts single-page sg list, either file or block
device backed target code follows this assumption.

However, loop target is one exception, given the sg list is from
the host queue directly.

This patch sets loop queue's segment boundary mask as PAGE_SIZE - 1
for folowoing NVMe target assumption.

[PATCH 2/4] nvmet: fix computation of io vector number

Current file backed ns code uses request data length to compute
number of io vector.

This way is actually wrong, the warning in nvmet_file_execute_io()
may be triggered because the sg->offset isn't considered.

Given the sg list is only single-page for nvme target, simply use
the req->sg_cnt as number of io vector.

Re: [PATCH 1/4] nvmet: set loop queue's segment boundary mask as PAGE_SIZE - 1

[Christoph Hellwig]

Note that in many cases allocating larger pages in the other targets
would be useful.  Given that you fix the one places where we made a page
size assumption I don't see a great need to limit outselves here.

Re: [PATCH 2/4] nvmet: fix computation of io vector number

I'd rather see this merged with the last one (and patch 3 dropped as
it just gets removed entirely in 4) - that fixes all the issues together
and doesn't require your patch 1 as as a workaround first.

Patch 1 isn't a workaround, which is needed for stable tree, and
the other fixes won't work without patch 1.

However, we may revert patch 1 for 5.1 in which multi-page bvec
is supported.

I am fine to merge the last three in one patch since the backporting
isn't too hard for me, :-) However I guess our stable guys may prefer to
simpler fix.

Then we need to fix that code as well.  Or even better make bio_add_page
handle the larger than page case fine if it really doesn't do that yet.

Lets do it another way around - put the proper fix into 5.1-rc and
only apply patch 1 for stable.  No need to put something in and
immediately revert it.

Given loop is the only exception, this patch is exactly the fix, right?
