From 14b557c19dbe677059243246522da15800ca94f0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicholas Bellinger Date: Sat, 29 Sep 2012 17:15:37 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] target/file: Re-enable optional fd_buffered_io=1 operation commit b32f4c7ed85c5cee2a21a55c9f59ebc9d57a2463 upstream. This patch re-adds the ability to optionally run in buffered FILEIO mode (eg: w/o O_DSYNC) for device backends in order to once again use the Linux buffered cache as a write-back storage mechanism. This logic was originally dropped with mainline v3.5-rc commit: commit a4dff3043c231d57f982af635c9d2192ee40e5ae Author: Nicholas Bellinger Date: Wed May 30 16:25:41 2012 -0700 target/file: Use O_DSYNC by default for FILEIO backends This difference with this patch is that fd_create_virtdevice() now forces the explicit setting of emulate_write_cache=1 when buffered FILEIO operation has been enabled. (v2: Switch to FDBD_HAS_BUFFERED_IO_WCE + add more detailed comment as requested by hch) Reported-by: Ferry Cc: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Nicholas Bellinger Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings --- drivers/target/target_core_file.c | 41 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- drivers/target/target_core_file.h | 1 + 2 files changed, 39 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/target/target_core_file.c b/drivers/target/target_core_file.c index 455a2515a6dd..cafa477a2601 100644 --- a/drivers/target/target_core_file.c +++ b/drivers/target/target_core_file.c @@ -139,6 +139,19 @@ static struct se_device *fd_create_virtdevice( * of pure timestamp updates. */ flags = O_RDWR | O_CREAT | O_LARGEFILE | O_DSYNC; + /* + * Optionally allow fd_buffered_io=1 to be enabled for people + * who want use the fs buffer cache as an WriteCache mechanism. + * + * This means that in event of a hard failure, there is a risk + * of silent data-loss if the SCSI client has *not* performed a + * forced unit access (FUA) write, or issued SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE + * to write-out the entire device cache. + */ + if (fd_dev->fbd_flags & FDBD_HAS_BUFFERED_IO_WCE) { + pr_debug("FILEIO: Disabling O_DSYNC, using buffered FILEIO\n"); + flags &= ~O_DSYNC; + } file = filp_open(dev_p, flags, 0600); if (IS_ERR(file)) { @@ -206,6 +219,12 @@ static struct se_device *fd_create_virtdevice( if (!dev) goto fail; + if (fd_dev->fbd_flags & FDBD_HAS_BUFFERED_IO_WCE) { + pr_debug("FILEIO: Forcing setting of emulate_write_cache=1" + " with FDBD_HAS_BUFFERED_IO_WCE\n"); + dev->se_sub_dev->se_dev_attrib.emulate_write_cache = 1; + } + fd_dev->fd_dev_id = fd_host->fd_host_dev_id_count++; fd_dev->fd_queue_depth = dev->queue_depth; @@ -450,6 +469,7 @@ enum { static match_table_t tokens = { {Opt_fd_dev_name, "fd_dev_name=%s"}, {Opt_fd_dev_size, "fd_dev_size=%s"}, + {Opt_fd_buffered_io, "fd_buffered_io=%d"}, {Opt_err, NULL} }; @@ -461,7 +481,7 @@ static ssize_t fd_set_configfs_dev_params( struct fd_dev *fd_dev = se_dev->se_dev_su_ptr; char *orig, *ptr, *arg_p, *opts; substring_t args[MAX_OPT_ARGS]; - int ret = 0, token; + int ret = 0, arg, token; opts = kstrdup(page, GFP_KERNEL); if (!opts) @@ -505,6 +525,19 @@ static ssize_t fd_set_configfs_dev_params( " bytes\n", fd_dev->fd_dev_size); fd_dev->fbd_flags |= FBDF_HAS_SIZE; break; + case Opt_fd_buffered_io: + match_int(args, &arg); + if (arg != 1) { + pr_err("bogus fd_buffered_io=%d value\n", arg); + ret = -EINVAL; + goto out; + } + + pr_debug("FILEIO: Using buffered I/O" + " operations for struct fd_dev\n"); + + fd_dev->fbd_flags |= FDBD_HAS_BUFFERED_IO_WCE; + break; default: break; } @@ -536,8 +569,10 @@ static ssize_t fd_show_configfs_dev_params( ssize_t bl = 0; bl = sprintf(b + bl, "TCM FILEIO ID: %u", fd_dev->fd_dev_id); - bl += sprintf(b + bl, " File: %s Size: %llu Mode: O_DSYNC\n", - fd_dev->fd_dev_name, fd_dev->fd_dev_size); + bl += sprintf(b + bl, " File: %s Size: %llu Mode: %s\n", + fd_dev->fd_dev_name, fd_dev->fd_dev_size, + (fd_dev->fbd_flags & FDBD_HAS_BUFFERED_IO_WCE) ? + "Buffered-WCE" : "O_DSYNC"); return bl; } diff --git a/drivers/target/target_core_file.h b/drivers/target/target_core_file.h index 53ece692fccf..6b1b6a979a10 100644 --- a/drivers/target/target_core_file.h +++ b/drivers/target/target_core_file.h @@ -18,6 +18,7 @@ struct fd_request { #define FBDF_HAS_PATH 0x01 #define FBDF_HAS_SIZE 0x02 +#define FDBD_HAS_BUFFERED_IO_WCE 0x04 struct fd_dev { u32 fbd_flags; -- 2.39.5
