From c58c1f83436b501d45d4050fd1296d71a9760bcb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roman Penyaev Date: Tue, 17 Dec 2019 16:54:07 +0100 Subject: block: end bio with BLK_STS_AGAIN in case of non-mq devs and REQ_NOWAIT Non-mq devs do not honor REQ_NOWAIT so give a chance to the caller to repeat request gracefully on -EAGAIN error. The problem is well reproduced using io_uring: mkfs.ext4 /dev/ram0 mount /dev/ram0 /mnt # Preallocate a file dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/file bs=1M count=1 # Start fio with io_uring and get -EIO fio --rw=write --ioengine=io_uring --size=1M --direct=1 --name=job --filename=/mnt/file Signed-off-by: Roman Penyaev Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe --- block/blk-core.c | 11 +++++++---- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'block') diff --git a/block/blk-core.c b/block/blk-core.c index e0a094fddee5..089e890ab208 100644 --- a/block/blk-core.c +++ b/block/blk-core.c @@ -885,11 +885,14 @@ generic_make_request_checks(struct bio *bio) } /* - * For a REQ_NOWAIT based request, return -EOPNOTSUPP - * if queue is not a request based queue. + * Non-mq queues do not honor REQ_NOWAIT, so complete a bio + * with BLK_STS_AGAIN status in order to catch -EAGAIN and + * to give a chance to the caller to repeat request gracefully. */ - if ((bio->bi_opf & REQ_NOWAIT) && !queue_is_mq(q)) - goto not_supported; + if ((bio->bi_opf & REQ_NOWAIT) && !queue_is_mq(q)) { + status = BLK_STS_AGAIN; + goto end_io; + } if (should_fail_bio(bio)) goto end_io; -- cgit v1.2.3
