Invalid optimal transfer size 33553920 accepted when physical_block_size 512

Invalid optimal transfer size 33553920 accepted when physical_block_size 512

[Bernhard Sulzer]

According to the gparted forum 
(http://gparted-forum.surf4.info/viewtopic.php?id=17839) a couple 
sata-usb adapters seem to report an invalid optimal transfer size of 
33553920 (which is 0xFFFF * 512).

This should have been fixed in a83da8a4509d about a year ago by in 
sd_validate_opt_xfer_size by checking whether the optimal transfer size 
opt_xfer_bytes is a multiple of physical_block_size. This works when 
physical block size is 4096, unfortunately it does not when the physical 
block size is 512 (which it is in my case).
Related commit: 
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?h=v5.1&id=a83da8a4509d3ebfe03bb7fffce022e4d5d4764f

This is pretty curious in itself, because lsblk reports 4096 physical 
sector size / 512 logical sector size and I would have thought physical 
sector size and physical block size should be the same. Is this a bug 
that should be reported?

Anyway, maybe 33553920 should always be marked as invalid?

That's peculiar. What does:

# dmesg | grep Optimal

have to say?

Also, please send the output of:

# sg_readcap -l /dev/sdc
# sg_vpd -p bl /dev/sdc

Thanks!

Here you go:

[PATCH] scsi: sd: Optimal I/O size should be a multiple of reported granularity

[Martin K. Petersen]

Commit a83da8a4509d ("scsi: sd: Optimal I/O size should be a multiple of
physical block size") validated the reported optimal I/O size against the
physical block size to overcome problems with devices reporting nonsensical
transfer sizes.

However, some devices claim conformity to older SCSI versions that predate
the physical block size being reported. Other devices do not report a
physical block size at all. We need to be able to validate the optimal I/O
size on those devices as well.

Many devices report an OPTIMAL TRANSFER LENGTH GRANULARITY in the same VPD
page as the OPTIMAL TRANSFER LENGTH. Use this value to validate the optimal
I/O size. Also check that the reported granularity is a multiple of the
physical block size, if supported.

I sent a patch that I would like you to test. It adds some additional
sanity checking to the block limits handling. Given the VPD output you
sent earlier, I am hoping it will work around the issue.

I still can't explain how the physical block size can be unset given
that it is reported by the device and the capacity is > 0xffffffff. I
even tried to tweak scsi_debug to see if somehow the no_read_capacity_16
flag for card readers happened to be set in your case and caused us to
go down the wrong path. But no. I'm stumped.

Do you have any READ CAPACITY errors or messages in your log? There were
none in the output you sent.

With the patch applied, the situation looks unchanged. I did gain a line

Bernhard,

> [  105.197403] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdc] Preferred minimum I/O size 512 bytes

In the sg_vpd -p bl output you sent this field was set to 8 blocks
(i.e. 4096 bytes). And in the sg_readcap -l output the physical block
size exponent was reported as 3 (i.e. also 4096 bytes).

But when we inspect these values during device discovery they appear to
be either 0 or 1. What is weird is that if the device somehow updated
them on the fly, I would also expect the optimal transfer length value
to be 0 as well. But it is consistently reported as 0xffff.

Do the reported values change if you do the following a while after you
plugged the drive in?

# lsblk -t
# echo 1 > /sys/block/sdc/device/rescan
# sleep 10
# lsblk -t

The only way I can replicate your results is by making scsi_debug return
zeroes during discovery and then switch to reporting the correct values
after a while. I did a quick hack where I returned zeroes for the
optimal transfer length granularity and the physical block size exponent
the first few times they were requested. That produces results similar
to yours.

I also attached a quick debug patch for capturing some more info.

I cant say they do, as far as I could observe:

Bernhard,

Ugh, it *does* change on the fly:

And I am guessing your device does not trigger a Unit Attention as a
result. You don't see something like "Inquiry data has changed" or
"Capacity data has changed" in the log, do you?

Hi Martin,

I might be able to help test this, as I have a USB drive enclosure
that is exhibiting the same kernel message of "Optimal transfer size
33553920 bytes not a multiple of physical block size (4096 bytes)".  I
noticed this as I was using the enclosure to random overwrite a batch
of old drives, and I started seeing that message in a terminal running
"journalctl -kf" after I had connected a couple of Advanced Format
(4096 byte physical, 512 byte logical) drives.

Here's an example of the USB enclosure with a 512e drive plugged in:

[PATCH] scsi: sd: Fix optimal I/O size for devices that change reported values

[Martin K. Petersen]

Some USB bridge devices will return a default set of characteristics during
initialization. And then, once an attached drive has spun up, substitute
the actual parameters reported by the drive. According to the SCSI spec,
the device should return a UNIT ATTENTION in case any reported parameters
change. But in this case the change is made silently after a small window
where default values are reported.

Commit a83da8a4509d ("scsi: sd: Optimal I/O size should be a multiple of
physical block size") validated the reported optimal I/O size against the
physical block size to overcome problems with devices reporting nonsensical
transfer sizes. However, this validation did not account for the fact that
aforementioned devices will return default values during a brief window
during spin-up. The subsequent change in reported characteristics would
invalidate the checking that had previously been performed.

Unset a previously configured optimal I/O size should the sanity checking
fail on subsequent revalidate attempts.

Bernhard,

I have been working on a set of patches that will address devices like
this that change their tune halfway through discovery. Your case is
really just the tip of the iceberg, more changes are needed to handle
this gracefully.

I'll try to get these changes completed in time for 5.7. However, we
need a smaller fix for 5.6 and stable. Can you please try the patch I
just sent?

Thanks!

The patch seems to work great.

dmesg does not seem too different, but lsblk's reporting is now correct:

# lsblk -t /dev/sdc
NAME ALIGNMENT MIN-IO OPT-IO PHY-SEC LOG-SEC ROTA SCHED RQ-SIZE  RA WSAME
sdc          0   4096      0    4096     512    1 mq-deadline 60 128   32M


As you can see I have left the other two patches in too, not sure if I 
was supposed to do that.

Thank you so much. Any chance any of this could be backported?

Thanks for testing! It's tagged for stable.
