This reverts commit bc792884 ("s390/dasd: Establish DMA alignment"). Quoting the original commit: linux-next commit bf8d0853 ("iomap: add support for dma aligned direct-io") changes the alignment requirement to come from the block device rather than the block size, and the default alignment requirement is 512-byte boundaries. Since DASD I/O has page alignments for IDAW/TIDAW requests, let's override this value to restore the expected behavior. I mentioned TIDAW, but that was wrong. TIDAWs have no distinct alignment requirement (per p. 15-70 of POPS SA22-7832-13): Unless otherwise specified, TIDAWs may designate a block of main storage on any boundary and length up to 4K bytes, provided the specified block does not cross a 4 K-byte boundary. IDAWs do, but the original commit neglected that while ECKD DASD are typically formatted in 4096-byte blocks, they don't HAVE to be. Formatting an ECKD volume with smaller blocks is permitted (dasdfmt -b xxx), and the problematic commit enforces alignment properties to such a device that will result in errors, such as: [test@host ~]# lsdasd -l a367 | grep blksz blksz: 512 [test@host ~]# mkfs.xfs -f /dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.a367-part1 meta-data=/dev/dasdc1 isize=512 agcount=4, agsize=230075 blks = sectsz=512 attr=2, projid32bit=1 = crc=1 finobt=1, sparse=1, rmapbt=1 = reflink=1 bigtime=1 inobtcount=1 nrext64=1 data = bsize=4096 blocks=920299, imaxpct=25 = sunit=0 swidth=0 blks naming =version 2 bsize=4096 ascii-ci=0, ftype=1 log =internal log bsize=4096 blocks=16384, version=2 = sectsz=512 sunit=0 blks, lazy-count=1 realtime =none extsz=4096 blocks=0, rtextents=0 error reading existing superblock: Invalid argument mkfs.xfs: pwrite failed: Invalid argument libxfs_bwrite: write failed on (unknown) bno 0x70565c/0x100, err=22 mkfs.xfs: Releasing dirty buffer to free list! found dirty buffer (bulk) on free list! mkfs.xfs: pwrite failed: Invalid argument ...snipped... The original commit omitted the FBA discipline for just this reason, but the formatted block size of the other disciplines was overlooked. The solution to all of this is to revert to the original behavior, such that the block size can be respected. There were two commits [1] that moved this code in the interim, so a straight git-revert is not possible, but the change is straightforward. But what of the original problem? That was manifested with a direct-io QEMU guest, where QEMU itself was changed a month or two later with commit 25474d90aa ("block: use the request length for iov alignment") such that the blamed kernel commit is unnecessary.
