flood of "dm-X: error: dax access failed" due to 5.9 commit 231609785cbfb

[Mike Snitzer]

5.9 commit 231609785cbfb ("dax: print error message by pr_info() in
__generic_fsdax_supported()") switched from pr_debug() to pr_info().

The justification in the commit header is really inadequate.  If there
is a problem that you need to drill in on, repeat the testing after
enabling the dynamic debugging.

Otherwise, now all DM devices that aren't layered on DAX capable devices
spew really confusing noise to users when they simply activate their
non-DAX DM devices:

[66567.129798] dm-6: error: dax access failed (-5)
[66567.134400] dm-6: error: dax access failed (-5)
[66567.139152] dm-6: error: dax access failed (-5)
[66567.314546] dm-2: error: dax access failed (-95)
[66567.319380] dm-2: error: dax access failed (-95)
[66567.324254] dm-2: error: dax access failed (-95)
[66567.479025] dm-2: error: dax access failed (-95)
[66567.483713] dm-2: error: dax access failed (-95)
[66567.488722] dm-2: error: dax access failed (-95)
[66567.494061] dm-2: error: dax access failed (-95)
[66567.498823] dm-2: error: dax access failed (-95)
[66567.503693] dm-2: error: dax access failed (-95)

commit 231609785cbfb must be reverted.

Please advise, thanks.

Adrian Huang from Lenovo posted a patch, which titled: dax: do not print
error message for non-persistent memory block device

It fixes the issue, but no response for now. Maybe we should take this fix.

Thanks.

OK, yes sounds like it.  It was merged and is commit c2affe920b0e066
("dax: do not print error message for non-persistent memory block
device")

Thanks for the info.

So the thing is I'm running v5.9-rc3 (which includes this commit) but
I'm still seeing all these warnings when I run the lvm2 testsuite.  The
reason _seems_ to be because the lvm2 testsuite uses brd devices for
test devices.  So there is something about the brd device that shows
commit c2affe920b0e066 isn't enough :(

Mike, Coly,

I applied Adrians patch, and submitted it - it is already in v5.9-rc3 -

Could you please apply and test this attached patch based on v5.9-rc3 ?

It seems the pointer dax_dev of __generic_fsdax_supported() parameter is
not initialized (IMHO this is not a dm bug), therefore the && should be
|| to check the dax support state.

Also I add two pr_info() to print the variables value, let's see whether
my guess makes sense.

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] dax: fix for do not print error message for non-persistent
 memory block device

When calling __generic_fsdax_supported(), a dax-unsupported device may
not have dax_dev as NULL. Therefore even dax_dev is not NULL, it is
still necessary to call bdev_dax_supported() to check whether the device
supports dax.

Also I suggest some kind of change like this in drivers/md/dm.c,

diff --git a/drivers/md/dm.c b/drivers/md/dm.c
index fb0255d25e4b..566d8208df47 100644
--- a/drivers/md/dm.c
+++ b/drivers/md/dm.c
@@ -818,6 +818,8 @@ int dm_get_table_device(struct mapped_device *md,
dev_t dev, fmode_t mode,
                        return -ENOMEM;
                }

+               memset(td, 0, sizeof(struct table_device));
+
                td->dm_dev.mode = mode;
                td->dm_dev.bdev = NULL;


The above change may make sure *dax_dev sent into
__generic_fsdax_supported() is always NULL if the target does not
support DAX. But IMHO this is not 100% necessary, it just make
__generic_fsdax_supported() return false faster by the following change
in previous attached patch,

 -       if (!dax_dev && !bdev_dax_supported(bdev, blocksize)) {
 +       if (!dax_dev || !bdev_dax_supported(bdev, blocksize)) {

I am not very familiar with dm code, CMIIW, just for your information.

I confirmed that Mike's symptom can be easily reproduced with brd devices after running the tool 'lvm2-testsuite'.

And, Coly's right. The dax_dev pointer is *NOT* NULL when the tool executes the command ' lvchange $vg/foo -a y'. Please see the following log (with applying Coly's patch).

So, the 'if' statement should be logical OR operator instead of logical AND operator. Thanks, Coly.
