Support is divided into two main areas: - reading VPD pages and setting sdev request_queue limits - support WRITE ATOMIC (16) command and tracing The relevant block limits VPD page need to be read to allow the block layer request_queue atomic write limits to be set. These VPD page limits are described in sbc4r22 section 6.6.4 - Block limits VPD page. There are five limits of interest: - MAXIMUM ATOMIC TRANSFER LENGTH - ATOMIC ALIGNMENT - ATOMIC TRANSFER LENGTH GRANULARITY - MAXIMUM ATOMIC TRANSFER LENGTH WITH BOUNDARY - MAXIMUM ATOMIC BOUNDARY SIZE MAXIMUM ATOMIC TRANSFER LENGTH is the maximum length for a WRITE ATOMIC (16) command. It will not be greater than the device MAXIMUM TRANSFER LENGTH. ATOMIC ALIGNMENT and ATOMIC TRANSFER LENGTH GRANULARITY are the minimum alignment and length values for an atomic write in terms of logical blocks. Unlike NVMe, SCSI does not specify an LBA space boundary, but does specify a per-IO boundary granularity. The maximum boundary size is specified in MAXIMUM ATOMIC BOUNDARY SIZE. When used, this boundary value is set in the WRITE ATOMIC (16) ATOMIC BOUNDARY field - layout for the WRITE_ATOMIC_16 command can be found in sbc4r22 section 5.48. This boundary value is the granularity size at which the device may atomically write the data. A value of zero in WRITE ATOMIC (16) ATOMIC BOUNDARY field means that all data must be atomically written together. MAXIMUM ATOMIC TRANSFER LENGTH WITH BOUNDARY is the maximum atomic write length if a non-zero boundary value is set. For atomic write support, the WRITE ATOMIC (16) boundary is not of much interest, as the block layer expects each request submitted to be executed atomically. However, the SCSI spec does leave itself open to a quirky scenario where MAXIMUM ATOMIC TRANSFER LENGTH is zero, yet MAXIMUM ATOMIC TRANSFER LENGTH WITH BOUNDARY and MAXIMUM ATOMIC BOUNDARY SIZE are both non-zero. This case will be supported. To set the block layer request_queue atomic write capabilities, sanitize the VPD page limits and set limits as follows: - atomic_write_unit_min is derived from granularity and alignment values. If no granularity value is not set, use physical block size - atomic_write_unit_max is derived from MAXIMUM ATOMIC TRANSFER LENGTH. In the scenario where MAXIMUM ATOMIC TRANSFER LENGTH is zero and boundary limits are non-zero, use MAXIMUM ATOMIC BOUNDARY SIZE for atomic_write_unit_max. New flag scsi_disk.use_atomic_write_boundary is set for this scenario. - atomic_write_boundary_bytes is set to zero always SCSI also supports a WRITE ATOMIC (32) command, which is for type 2 protection enabled. This is not going to be supported now, so check for T10_PI_TYPE2_PROTECTION when setting any request_queue limits. To handle an atomic write request, add support for WRITE ATOMIC (16) command in handler sd_setup_atomic_cmnd(). Flag use_atomic_write_boundary is checked here for encoding ATOMIC BOUNDARY field. Trace info is also added for WRITE_ATOMIC_16 command. Reviewed-by:

Support atomic writes by submitting a single BIO with the REQ_ATOMIC set. It must be ensured that the atomic write adheres to its rules, like naturally aligned offset, so call blkdev_dio_invalid() -> blkdev_atomic_write_valid() [with renaming blkdev_dio_unaligned() to blkdev_dio_invalid()] for this purpose. The BIO submission path currently checks for atomic writes which are too large, so no need to check here. In blkdev_direct_IO(), if the nr_pages exceeds BIO_MAX_VECS, then we cannot produce a single BIO, so error in this case. Finally set FMODE_CAN_ATOMIC_WRITE when the bdev can support atomic writes and the associated file flag is for O_DIRECT. Reviewed-by:

Add atomic write support, as follows: - add helper functions to get request_queue atomic write limits - report request_queue atomic write support limits to sysfs and update Doc - support to safely merge atomic writes - deal with splitting atomic writes - misc helper functions - add a per-request atomic write flag New request_queue limits are added, as follows: - atomic_write_hw_max is set by the block driver and is the maximum length of an atomic write which the device may support. It is not necessarily a power-of-2. - atomic_write_max_sectors is derived from atomic_write_hw_max_sectors and max_hw_sectors. It is always a power-of-2. Atomic writes may be merged, and atomic_write_max_sectors would be the limit on a merged atomic write request size. This value is not capped at max_sectors, as the value in max_sectors can be controlled from userspace, and it would only cause trouble if userspace could limit atomic_write_unit_max_bytes and the other atomic write limits. - atomic_write_hw_unit_{min,max} are set by the block driver and are the min/max length of an atomic write unit which the device may support. They both must be a power-of-2. Typically atomic_write_hw_unit_max will hold the same value as atomic_write_hw_max. - atomic_write_unit_{min,max} are derived from atomic_write_hw_unit_{min,max}, max_hw_sectors, and block core limits. Both min and max values must be a power-of-2. - atomic_write_hw_boundary is set by the block driver. If non-zero, it indicates an LBA space boundary at which an atomic write straddles no longer is atomically executed by the disk. The value must be a power-of-2. Note that it would be acceptable to enforce a rule that atomic_write_hw_boundary_sectors is a multiple of atomic_write_hw_unit_max, but the resultant code would be more complicated. All atomic writes limits are by default set 0 to indicate no atomic write support. Even though it is assumed by Linux that a logical block can always be atomically written, we ignore this as it is not of particular interest. Stacked devices are just not supported either for now. An atomic write must always be submitted to the block driver as part of a single request. As such, only a single BIO must be submitted to the block layer for an atomic write. When a single atomic write BIO is submitted, it cannot be split. As such, atomic_write_unit_{max, min}_bytes are limited by the maximum guaranteed BIO size which will not be required to be split. This max size is calculated by request_queue max segments and the number of bvecs a BIO can fit, BIO_MAX_VECS. Currently we rely on userspace issuing a write with iovcnt=1 for pwritev2() - as such, we can rely on each segment containing PAGE_SIZE of data, apart from the first+last, which each can fit logical block size of data. The first+last will be LBS length/aligned as we rely on direct IO alignment rules also. New sysfs files are added to report the following atomic write limits: - atomic_write_unit_max_bytes - same as atomic_write_unit_max_sectors in bytes - atomic_write_unit_min_bytes - same as atomic_write_unit_min_sectors in bytes - atomic_write_boundary_bytes - same as atomic_write_hw_boundary_sectors in bytes - atomic_write_max_bytes - same as atomic_write_max_sectors in bytes Atomic writes may only be merged with other atomic writes and only under the following conditions: - total resultant request length <= atomic_write_max_bytes - the merged write does not straddle a boundary Helper function bdev_can_atomic_write() is added to indicate whether atomic writes may be issued to a bdev. If a bdev is a partition, the partition start must be aligned with both atomic_write_unit_min_sectors and atomic_write_hw_boundary_sectors. FSes will rely on the block layer to validate that an atomic write BIO submitted will be of valid size, so add blk_validate_atomic_write_op_size() for this purpose. Userspace expects an atomic write which is of invalid size to be rejected with -EINVAL, so add BLK_STS_INVAL for this. Also use BLK_STS_INVAL for when a BIO needs to be split, as this should mean an invalid size BIO. Flag REQ_ATOMIC is used for indicating an atomic write.

Extend statx system call to return additional info for atomic write support support for a file. Helper function generic_fill_statx_atomic_writes() can be used by FSes to fill in the relevant statx fields. For now atomic_write_segments_max will always be 1, otherwise some rules would need to be imposed on iovec length and alignment, which we don't want now. Signed-off-by:

An atomic write is a write issued with torn-write protection, meaning that for a power failure or any other hardware failure, all or none of the data from the write will be stored, but never a mix of old and new data. Userspace may add flag RWF_ATOMIC to pwritev2() to indicate that the write is to be issued with torn-write prevention, according to special alignment and length rules. For any syscall interface utilizing struct iocb, add IOCB_ATOMIC for iocb->ki_flags field to indicate the same. A call to statx will give the relevant atomic write info for a file: - atomic_write_unit_min - atomic_write_unit_max - atomic_write_segments_max Both min and max values must be a power-of-2. Applications can avail of atomic write feature by ensuring that the total length of a write is a power-of-2 in size and also sized between atomic_write_unit_min and atomic_write_unit_max, inclusive. Applications must ensure that the write is at a naturally-aligned offset in the file wrt the total write length. The value in atomic_write_segments_max indicates the upper limit for IOV_ITER iovcnt. Add file mode flag FMODE_CAN_ATOMIC_WRITE, so files which do not have the flag set will have RWF_ATOMIC rejected and not just ignored. Add a type argument to kiocb_set_rw_flags() to allows reads which have RWF_ATOMIC set to be rejected. Helper function generic_atomic_write_valid() can be used by FSes to verify compliant writes. There we check for iov_iter type is for ubuf, which implies iovcnt==1 for pwritev2(), which is an initial restriction for atomic_write_segments_max. Initially the only user will be bdev file operations write handler. We will rely on the block BIO submission path to ensure write sizes are compliant for the bdev, so we don't need to check atomic writes sizes yet. Signed-off-by:

Move the nonrot flag into the queue_limits feature field so that it can be set atomically with the queue frozen. Use the chance to switch to defaulting to non-rotational and require the driver to opt into rotational, which matches the polarity of the sysfs interface. For the z2ram, ps3vram, 2x memstick, ubiblock and dcssblk the new rotational flag is not set as they clearly are not rotational despite this being a behavior change. There are some other drivers that unconditionally set the rotational flag to keep the existing behavior as they arguably can be used on rotational devices even if that is probably not their main use today (e.g. virtio_blk and drbd). The flag is automatically inherited in blk_stack_limits matching the existing behavior in dm and md. Signed-off-by:

Move the cache control settings into the queue_limits so that the flags can be set atomically with the device queue frozen. Add new features and flags field for the driver set flags, and internal (usually sysfs-controlled) flags in the block layer. Note that we'll eventually remove enough field from queue_limits to bring it back to the previous size. The disable flag is inverted compared to the previous meaning, which means it now survives a rescan, similar to the max_sectors and max_discard_sectors user limits. The FLUSH and FUA flags are now inherited by blk_stack_limits, which simplified the code in dm a lot, but also causes a slight behavior change in that dm-switch and dm-unstripe now advertise a write cache despite setting num_flush_bios to 0. The I/O path will handle this gracefully, but as far as I can tell the lack of num_flush_bios and thus flush support is a pre-existing data integrity bug in those targets that really needs fixing, after which a non-zero num_flush_bios should be required in dm for targets that map to underlying devices.
