Since Linux 5.10, write zeros to a multipath device using ioctl(fd, BLKZEROOUT, range) with cache none or directsync return -EBUSY permanently. Similar to handle_aiocb_write_zeroes_unmap, handle_aiocb_write_zeroes_block allow -EBUSY and -EINVAL errors during ioctl(fd, BLKZEROOUT, range). Reference commit in Linux 5.10: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=384d87ef2c954fc58e6c5fd8253e4a1984f5fe02 Although it will be fixed in 5.12, I think it's good to avoid similar problem in the future. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/53689a67-7591-0ad8-3e7d-dca9a626cd99@kernel.dk/ Signed-off-by: ChangLimin --- block/file-posix.c | 9 +++++++-- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/block/file-posix.c b/block/file-posix.c index 05079b40ca..4e132db929 100644 --- a/block/file-posix.c +++ b/block/file-posix.c @@ -1629,8 +1629,13 @@ static ssize_t handle_aiocb_write_zeroes_block(RawPosixAIOData *aiocb) } while (errno == EINTR); ret = translate_err(-errno); - if (ret == -ENOTSUP) { - s->has_write_zeroes = false; + switch (ret) { + case -ENOTSUP: + s->has_write_zeroes = false; /* fall through */ + case -EINVAL: + case -EBUSY: + return -ENOTSUP; + break; } } #endif -- 2.27.0
