libata-scsi: disable SCT Write Same for the moment
SCT Write Same support had been introduced with
commit
7b2030942859 ("libata: Add support for SCT Write Same")
Some problems, namely excessive userspace segfaults, had been reported at
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/
20160908192736.GA4356@gmail.com
This lead to commit
0ce1b18c42a5 ("libata: Some drives failing on
SCT Write Same") which strived to disable SCT Write Same on !ZAC devices.
Due to the way this was done and to the logic in sd_config_write_same(),
this didn't work for those devices that have
->max_ws_blocks > SD_MAX_WS10_BLOCKS: for these, ->no_write_same and
->max_write_same_sectors would still be non-zero,
but ->ws10 == ->ws16 == 0. This would cause sd_setup_write_same_cmnd() to
demultiplex REQ_OP_WRITE_SAME requests to WRITE_SAME, and these in turn
aren't supported by libata-scsi:
EXT4-fs (dm-1): Delayed block allocation failed for inode
2625094 at
logical offset 2032 with max blocks 2 with error 121
EXT4-fs (dm-1): This should not happen!! Data will be lost
121 == EREMOTEIO is what scsi_io_completion() asserts in case of
invalid opcodes.
Back to the original problem of userspace segfaults: this can be tracked
down to ata_format_sct_write_same() overwriting the input page. Sometimes,
this page is ZERO_PAGE(0) which ceases to be filled with zeros from that
point on. Since ZERO_PAGE(0) is used for userspace .bss mappings, code of
the following is doomed:
static char *a = NULL; /* .bss */
...
if (a)
*a = 'a';
This problem is not solved by disabling SCT Write Same for !ZAC devices
only.
It can certainly be fixed, but the final release is quite close -- so
disable SCT Write Same for all ATA devices rather than introducing some
SCT key buffer allocation schemes at this point.
