    f2fs: check discard support for conventional zones · 43aec4d0
    Shin'ichiro Kawasaki authored
    As the helper function f2fs_bdev_support_discard() shows, f2fs checks if
    the target block devices support discard by calling
    bdev_max_discard_sectors() and bdev_is_zoned(). This check works well
    for most cases, but it does not work for conventional zones on zoned
    block devices. F2fs assumes that zoned block devices support discard,
    and calls __submit_discard_cmd(). When __submit_discard_cmd() is called
    for sequential write required zones, it works fine since
    __submit_discard_cmd() issues zone reset commands instead of discard
    commands. However, when __submit_discard_cmd() is called for
    conventional zones, __blkdev_issue_discard() is called even when the
    devices do not support discard.
    
    The inappropriate __blkdev_issue_discard() call was not a problem before
    the commit 30f1e724 ("block: move discard checks into the ioctl
    handler") because __blkdev_issue_discard() checked if the target devices
    support discard or not. If not, it returned EOPNOTSUPP. After the
    commit, __blkdev_issue_discard() no longer checks it. It always returns
    zero and sets NULL to the given bio pointer. This NULL pointer triggers
    f2fs_bug_on() in __submit_discard_cmd(). The BUG is recreated with the
    commands below at the umount step, where /dev/nullb0 is a zoned null_blk
    with 5GB total size, 128MB zone size and 10 conventional zones.
    
    $ mkfs.f2fs -f -m /dev/nullb0
    $ mount /dev/nullb0 /mnt
    $ for ((i=0;i<5;i++)); do dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test bs=65536 count=1600 conv=fsync; done
    $ umount /mnt
    
    To fix the BUG, avoid the inappropriate __blkdev_issue_discard() call.
    When discard is requested for conventional zones, check if the device
    supports discard or not. If not, return EOPNOTSUPP.
    
    Fixes: 30f1e724 ("block: move discard checks into the ioctl handler")
