[PATCH v2 0/6] block: add error handling for *add_disk*()

[PATCH v2 0/6] block: add error handling for *add_disk*()

[Luis Chamberlain]

This v2 has the following changes:

  - rebases onto a fresh linux-next which includes Christoph's
    latest cleanups
  - dropping error injection as I inspect ebpf and other
    alternatives, yet I still tested this series with that
    patch and the only change needed was the last one.
  - adds a new patch, the last one,  to adjust to our
    preference now to always wish for users to call a cleanup
    like blk_cleanup_disk() when add_disk() fails.
  - dropped driver conversion

Although I've dropped driver conversion at this point I've
converted all drivers over, but that series is about 80
patches... and so should be dealt with after this basic core
work is reviewed and merged.

[PATCH v2 1/6] block: refcount the request_queue early in __device_add_disk()

[Luis Chamberlain]

We refcount the request_queue right now towards the end of the
__device_add_disk(), however when we add error handling on this
function we'll want to refcount the request_queue first, so that
we can simply bail right away on error. No point in doing any
work on the queue if its invalid. Otherwise we'd also be
unwinding all the work we had done towards the very end.

[PATCH v2 2/6] block: move disk announce work from register_disk() to a helper

[Luis Chamberlain]

This moves quite a bit of code which does one thing into a helper.
We currently do not check for errors but we may decide that might
be desirable later.

This also makes the code easier to read.

This change has no functional changes.

On it's own I don't really see the point of moving two function
calls and a comment into a separate helper, but I'll see where this
series goes..

Looking at the whole context I still can't see a good reason for
this helper.

[PATCH v2 3/6] block: move disk invalidation from del_gendisk() into a helper

[Luis Chamberlain]

Move the disk / partition invalidation into a helper. This will make
reading del_gendisk easier to read, in preparation for adding support
to add error handling later on register_disk() and to later share more
code with del_gendisk.

This change has no functional changes.

Re: [PATCH v2 3/6] block: move disk invalidation from del_gendisk() into a helper

[Christoph Hellwig]

I don't really like many of these helpers as they are rather
confusing.  Below is a patch ontop of your whole series that
massages it into something I find much easier to follow.
The big caveats are:

 - this moves the bdi link creation earlier, which is safe and probably
   preferable. (should go into a prep patch).
 - del_gendisk now needs to cope with not set up events and integrity
   kobject

I also have a bunch of changes to del_gendisk which might require
backporting, let me try to get those out ASAP.

[PATCH v2 4/6] block: move disk unregistration work from del_gendisk() to a helper

[Luis Chamberlain]

There is quite a bit of code on del_gendisk() which relates to
unregistering the disk, using register_disk() as an counter.
Move all this code into a helper instead of re-writing our own,
which we'll need later to handle errors on add_disk().

Since disk unregistrationa also deals with partition unregistration,
provide a halper for that as well, as we'll later need this when
adding error handling for add_disk().

[PATCH v2 5/6] block: add initial error handling for *add_disk()* and friends

[Luis Chamberlain]

This adds error handling to the *add_disk*() callers and the functions
it depends on. This is initial work as drivers are not converted. That
is separate work.

[PATCH v2 6/6] block: skip queue if NULL on blk_cleanup_queue()

[Luis Chamberlain]

Now that error handling for add_disk*() calls is added, we must
accept a common form for when errors are detected on the the
add_disk*() calls, and that is to call blk_cleanup_disk() on
error always. One of the corner cases possible is a driver bug
where the queue is already gone and we cannot blk_get_queue(),
and so may be NULL. When blk_cleanup_disk() is called in this
case blk_cleanup_queue() will crash with a null dereference.

Make this an accepted condition and just skip it. This allows us
to also test for it safely with error injection.

So you plan to call blk_cleanup_disk when add_disk fails?

For all drivers using blk_alloc_disk/blk_mq_alloc_disk there should
always be a queue.  The others ones aren't ready to handle errors
from add_disk yet in any way I think (and I plan to fix this up
ASAP).

Yes, they can open code things if they wish as well, but when possible yes.

The only ones left are nvme, dasd and scsi.  NVMe is trivial (attached),
dasd needs a little more work, I need to send up a WIP to the
maintainers.  scsi is the real problem and will require a fair amount
of work.

Alright, I'll wait until these changes are merged before sending those
driver's conversions. Without this patch though, there's no way to test
the error injection in case the driver was buggy and removed the queue
by mistake. Recall my first patch moved that check to the beginning too.

So we either skip that error injection test ... or not sure what else to do.

I think we need at least a few sample conversions to show how
you intend this to be used.

I'll send a few out, but I'll send them as separate groups. There
are 5 groups of further changes as part of the driver conversion:

  1) trivial changes: requires a blk_cleanup_disk() on error added
  2) Fix uses of GENHD_FL_UP
  3) Fix uses of GENHD_FL_UP for del_gendisk() with a block helper
  4) make probe on blk_request_module() return an error, so to
     take advantage of the add_disk() on probe calls. Drivers which
     benefit:
     - ataflop
     - brd
     - floppy
     - loop
     - scsi/sd
  5) Once all drivers are converted, add __must_check() to add_disk()
     and friends

There are so many patches I think it makes sense to only post a few
for each group, except maybe the 4th group, that requires probe
change to go in one full sweep. I've only build tested what fits
in my architecture so far, waiting on 0-day complaints reports to
fix the rest. So only the first first group will go as PATCH form
for now.
