Allow pmem, and other synchronous/bio-based block drivers, to fallback on a per-cpu reference count managed by the core for tracking queue live/dead state. The existing per-cpu reference count for the blk_mq case is promoted to be used in all block i/o scenarios. This involves initializing it by default, waiting for it to drop to zero at exit, and holding a live reference over the invocation of q->make_request_fn() in generic_make_request(). The blk_mq code continues to take its own reference per blk_mq request and retains the ability to freeze the queue, but the check that the queue is frozen is moved to generic_make_request(). This fixes crash signatures like the following: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff880140000000 [..] Call Trace: [<ffffffff8145e8bf>] ? copy_user_handle_tail+0x5f/0x70 [<ffffffffa004e1e0>] pmem_do_bvec.isra.11+0x70/0xf0 [nd_pmem] [<ffffffffa004e331>] pmem_make_request+0xd1/0x200 [nd_pmem] [<ffffffff811c3162>] ? mempool_alloc+0x72/0x1a0 [<ffffffff8141f8b6>] generic_make_request+0xd6/0x110 [<ffffffff8141f966>] submit_bio+0x76/0x170 [<ffffffff81286dff>] submit_bh_wbc+0x12f/0x160 [<ffffffff81286e62>] submit_bh+0x12/0x20 [<ffffffff813395bd>] jbd2_write_superblock+0x8d/0x170 [<ffffffff8133974d>] jbd2_mark_journal_empty+0x5d/0x90 [<ffffffff813399cb>] jbd2_journal_destroy+0x24b/0x270 [<ffffffff810bc4ca>] ? put_pwq_unlocked+0x2a/0x30 [<ffffffff810bc6f5>] ? destroy_workqueue+0x225/0x250 [<ffffffff81303494>] ext4_put_super+0x64/0x360 [<ffffffff8124ab1a>] generic_shutdown_super+0x6a/0xf0 Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Keith Busch <keith.busch@intel.com> Cc: Ross Zwisler <ross.zwisler@linux.intel.com> Suggested-by:

The way the block layer is currently written, it goes to great lengths to avoid having to split bios; upper layer code (such as bio_add_page()) checks what the underlying device can handle and tries to always create bios that don't need to be split. But this approach becomes unwieldy and eventually breaks down with stacked devices and devices with dynamic limits, and it adds a lot of complexity. If the block layer could split bios as needed, we could eliminate a lot of complexity elsewhere - particularly in stacked drivers. Code that creates bios can then create whatever size bios are convenient, and more importantly stacked drivers don't have to deal with both their own bio size limitations and the limitations of the (potentially multiple) devices underneath them. In the future this will let us delete merge_bvec_fn and a bunch of other code. We do this by adding calls to blk_queue_split() to the various make_request functions that need it - a few can already handle arbitrary size bios. Note that we add the call _after_ any call to blk_queue_bounce(); this means that blk_queue_split() and blk_recalc_rq_segments() don't need to be concerned with bouncing affecting segment merging. Some make_request_fn() callbacks were simple enough to audit and verify they don't need blk_queue_split() calls. The skipped ones are: * nfhd_make_request (arch/m68k/emu/nfblock.c) * axon_ram_make_request (arch/powerpc/sysdev/axonram.c) * simdisk_make_request (arch/xtensa/platforms/iss/simdisk.c) * brd_make_request (ramdisk - drivers/block/brd.c) * mtip_submit_request (drivers/block/mtip32xx/mtip32xx.c) * loop_make_request * null_queue_bio * bcache's make_request fns Some others are almost certainly safe to remove now, but will be left for future patches.

Lots of devices support huge discard sizes these days. Depending on how the device handles them internally, huge discards can introduce massive latencies (hundreds of msec) on the device side. We have a sysfs file, discard_max_bytes, that advertises the max hardware supported discard size. Make this writeable, and split the settings into a soft and hard limit. This can be set from 'discard_granularity' and up to the hardware limit. Add a new sysfs file, 'discard_max_hw_bytes', that shows the hw set limit. Reviewed-by:

With the planned cgroup writeback support, backing-dev related declarations will be more widely used across block and cgroup; unfortunately, including backing-dev.h from include/linux/blkdev.h makes cyclic include dependency quite likely. This patch separates out backing-dev-defs.h which only has the essential definitions and updates blkdev.h to include it. c files which need access to more backing-dev details now include backing-dev.h directly. This takes backing-dev.h off the common include dependency chain making it a lot easier to use it across block and cgroup. v2: fs/fat build failure fixed. Signed-off-by:

Because of the peculiar way that md devices are created (automatically when the device node is opened), a new device can be created and registered immediately after the blk_unregister_region(disk_devt(disk), disk->minors); call in del_gendisk(). Therefore it is important that all visible artifacts of the previous device are removed before this call. In particular, the 'bdi'. Since: commit c4db59d3 Author: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> fs: don't reassign dirty inodes to default_backing_dev_info moved the device_unregister(bdi->dev); call from bdi_unregister() to bdi_destroy() it has been quite easy to lose a race and have a new (e.g.) "md127" be created after the blk_unregister_region() call and before bdi_destroy() is ultimately called by the final 'put_disk', which must come after del_gendisk(). The new device finds that the bdi name is already registered in sysfs and complains > [ 9627.630029] WARNING: CPU: 18 PID: 3330 at fs/sysfs/dir.c:31 sysfs_warn_dup+0x5a/0x70() > [ 9627.630032] sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/virtual/bdi/9:127' We can fix this by moving the bdi_destroy() call out of blk_release_queue() (which can happen very late when a refcount reaches zero) and into blk_cleanup_queue() - which happens exactly when the md device driver calls it. Then it is only necessary for md to call blk_cleanup_queue() before del_gendisk(). As loop.c devices are also created on demand by opening the device node, we make the same change there.

The kobject memory inside blk-mq hctx/ctx shouldn't have been freed before the kobject is released because driver core can access it freely before its release. We can't do that in all ctx/hctx/mq_kobj's release handler because it can be run before blk_cleanup_queue(). Given mq_kobj shouldn't have been introduced, this patch simply moves mq's release into blk_release_queue(). Reported-by:

blk-mq users are allowed to free the memory request_queue.tag_set points at after blk_cleanup_queue() has finished but before blk_release_queue() has started. This can happen e.g. in the SCSI core. The SCSI core namely embeds the tag_set structure in a SCSI host structure. The SCSI host structure is freed by scsi_host_dev_release(). This function is called after blk_cleanup_queue() finished but can be called before blk_release_queue(). This means that it is not safe to access request_queue.tag_set from inside blk_release_queue(). Hence remove the blk_sync_queue() call from blk_release_queue(). This call is not necessary - outstanding requests must have finished before blk_release_queue() is called. Additionally, move the blk_mq_free_queue() call from blk_release_queue() to blk_cleanup_queue() to avoid that struct request_queue.tag_set gets accessed after it has been freed. This patch avoids that the following kernel oops can be triggered when deleting a SCSI host for which scsi-mq was enabled: Call Trace: [<ffffffff8109a7c4>] lock_acquire+0xc4/0x270 [<ffffffff814ce111>] mutex_lock_nested+0x61/0x380 [<ffffffff812575f0>] blk_mq_free_queue+0x30/0x180 [<ffffffff8124d654>] blk_release_queue+0x84/0xd0 [<ffffffff8126c29b>] kobject_cleanup+0x7b/0x1a0 [<ffffffff8126c140>] kobject_put+0x30/0x70 [<ffffffff81245895>] blk_put_queue+0x15/0x20 [<ffffffff8125c409>] disk_release+0x99/0xd0 [<ffffffff8133d056>] device_release+0x36/0xb0 [<ffffffff8126c29b>] kobject_cleanup+0x7b/0x1a0 [<ffffffff8126c140>] kobject_put+0x30/0x70 [<ffffffff8125a78a>] put_disk+0x1a/0x20 [<ffffffff811d4cb5>] __blkdev_put+0x135/0x1b0 [<ffffffff811d56a0>] blkdev_put+0x50/0x160 [<ffffffff81199eb4>] kill_block_super+0x44/0x70 [<ffffffff8119a2a4>] deactivate_locked_super+0x44/0x60 [<ffffffff8119a87e>] deactivate_super+0x4e/0x70 [<ffffffff811b9833>] cleanup_mnt+0x43/0x90 [<ffffffff811b98d2>] __cleanup_mnt+0x12/0x20 [<ffffffff8107252c>] task_work_run+0xac/0xe0 [<ffffffff81002c01>] do_notify_resume+0x61/0xa0 [<ffffffff814d2c58>] int_signal+0x12/0x17 Signed-off-by:

This patch supports to run one single flush machinery for each blk-mq dispatch queue, so that: - current init_request and exit_request callbacks can cover flush request too, then the buggy copying way of initializing flush request's pdu can be fixed - flushing performance gets improved in case of multi hw-queue In fio sync write test over virtio-blk(4 hw queues, ioengine=sync, iodepth=64, numjobs=4, bs=4K), it is observed that througput gets increased a lot over my test environment: - throughput: +70% in case of virtio-blk over null_blk - throughput: +30% in case of virtio-blk over SSD image The multi virtqueue feature isn't merged to QEMU yet, and patches for the feature can be found in below tree: git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ming/qemu.git v2.1.0-mq.4 And simply passing 'num_queues=4 vectors=5' should be enough to enable multi queue(quad queue) feature for QEMU virtio-blk.

blk-mq uses percpu_ref for its usage counter which tracks the number of in-flight commands and used to synchronously drain the queue on freeze. percpu_ref shutdown takes measureable wallclock time as it involves a sched RCU grace period. This means that draining a blk-mq takes measureable wallclock time. One would think that this shouldn't matter as queue shutdown should be a rare event which takes place asynchronously w.r.t. userland. Unfortunately, SCSI probing involves synchronously setting up and then tearing down a lot of request_queues back-to-back for non-existent LUNs. This means that SCSI probing may take above ten seconds when scsi-mq is used. [ 0.949892] scsi host0: Virtio SCSI HBA [ 1.007864] scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access QEMU QEMU HARDDISK 1.1.

This patch makes blk-mq initialize q->mq_usage_counter in atomic mode and switch it to percpu mode only once blk_register_queue() is reached. Note that this issue was previously worked around by 0a30288d ("blk-mq, percpu_ref: implement a kludge for SCSI blk-mq stall during probe") for v3.17. The temp fix was reverted in preparation of adding persistent atomic mode to percpu_ref by 9eca8046 ("Revert "blk-mq, percpu_ref: implement a kludge for SCSI blk-mq stall during probe""). This patch and the prerequisite percpu_ref changes will be merged during v3.18 devel cycle. Signed-off-by:

When a queue is registered, the block layer turns off the bypass setting (because bypass is enabled when the queue is created). This doesn't work well for queues that are unregistered and then registered again; we get a WARNING because of the unbalanced calls to blk_queue_bypass_end(). This patch fixes the problem by making blk_register_queue() call blk_queue_bypass_end() only the first time the queue is registered. Signed-off-by:

Currently, both blk_queue_bypass_start() and blk_mq_freeze_queue() skip queue draining if bypass_depth was already above zero. The assumption is that the one which bumped the bypass_depth should have performed draining already; however, there's nothing which prevents a new instance of bypassing/freezing from starting before the previous one finishes draining. The current code may allow the later bypassing/freezing instances to complete while there still are in-flight requests which haven't finished draining. Fix it by draining regardless of bypass_depth. We still skip draining from blk_queue_bypass_start() while the queue is initializing to avoid introducing excessive delays during boot. INIT_DONE setting is moved above the initial blk_queue_bypass_end() so that bypassing attempts can't slip inbetween. Signed-off-by:

Witch to using a preallocated flush_rq for blk-mq similar to what's done with the old request path. This allows us to set up the request properly with a tag from the actually allowed range and ->rq_disk as needed by some drivers. To make life easier we also switch to dynamic allocation of ->flush_rq for the old path. This effectively reverts most of "blk-mq: fix for flush deadlock" and "blk-mq: Don't reserve a tag for flush request" Signed-off-by:

Linux currently has two models for block devices: - The classic request_fn based approach, where drivers use struct request units for IO. The block layer provides various helper functionalities to let drivers share code, things like tag management, timeout handling, queueing, etc. - The "stacked" approach, where a driver squeezes in between the block layer and IO submitter. Since this bypasses the IO stack, driver generally have to manage everything themselves. With drivers being written for new high IOPS devices, the classic request_fn based driver doesn't work well enough. The design dates back to when both SMP and high IOPS was rare. It has problems with scaling to bigger machines, and runs into scaling issues even on smaller machines when you have IOPS in the hundreds of thousands per device. The stacked approach is then most often selected as the model for the driver. But this means that everybody has to re-invent everything, and along with that we get all the problems again that the shared approach solved. This commit introduces blk-mq, block multi queue support. The design is centered around per-cpu queues for queueing IO, which then funnel down into x number of hardware submission queues. We might have a 1:1 mapping between the two, or it might be an N:M mapping. That all depends on what the hardware supports. blk-mq provides various helper functions, which include: - Scalable support for request tagging. Most devices need to be able to uniquely identify a request both in the driver and to the hardware. The tagging uses per-cpu caches for freed tags, to enable cache hot reuse. - Timeout handling without tracking request on a per-device basis. Basically the driver should be able to get a notification, if a request happens to fail. - Optional support for non 1:1 mappings between issue and submission queues. blk-mq can redirect IO completions to the desired location. - Support for per-request payloads. Drivers almost always need to associate a request structure with some driver private command structure. Drivers can tell blk-mq this at init time, and then any request handed to the driver will have the required size of memory associated with it. - Support for merging of IO, and plugging. The stacked model gets neither of these. Even for high IOPS devices, merging sequential IO reduces per-command overhead and thus increases bandwidth. For now, this is provided as a potential 3rd queueing model, with the hope being that, as it matures, it can replace both the classic and stacked model. That would get us back to having just 1 real model for block devices, leaving the stacked approach to dm/md devices (as it was originally intended).

QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD is used to indicate that queuing new requests must stop. After this flag has been set queue draining starts. However, during the queue draining phase it is still safe to invoke the queue's request_fn, so QUEUE_FLAG_DYING is a better name for this flag. This patch has been generated by running the following command over the kernel source tree: git grep -lEw 'blk_queue_dead|QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD' | xargs sed -i.tmp -e 's/blk_queue_dead/blk_queue_dying/g' \ -e 's/QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD/QUEUE_FLAG_DYING/g'; \ sed -i.tmp -e "s/QUEUE_FLAG_DYING$(printf \\t)*5/QUEUE_FLAG_DYING$(printf \\t)5/g" \ include/linux/blkdev.h; \ sed -i.tmp -e 's/ DEAD/ DYING/g' -e 's/dead queue/a dying queue/' \ -e 's/Dead queue/A dying queue/' block/blk-core.c Signed-off-by:

block: lift the initial queue bypass mode on blk_register_queue() instead of blk_init_allocated_queue() b82d4b19 ("blkcg: make request_queue bypassing on allocation") made request_queues bypassed on allocation to avoid switching on and off bypass mode on a queue being initialized. Some drivers allocate and then destroy a lot of queues without fully initializing them and incurring bypass latency overhead on each of them could add upto significant overhead. Unfortunately, blk_init_allocated_queue() is never used by queues of bio-based drivers, which means that all bio-based driver queues are in bypass mode even after initialization and registration complete successfully. Due to the limited way request_queues are used by bio drivers, this problem is hidden pretty well but it shows up when blk-throttle is used in combination with a bio-based driver. Trying to configure (echoing to cgroupfs file) blk-throttle for a bio-based driver hangs indefinitely in blkg_conf_prep() waiting for bypass mode to end. This patch moves the initial blk_queue_bypass_end() call from blk_init_allocated_queue() to blk_register_queue() which is called for any userland-visible queues regardless of its type. I believe this is correct because I don't think there is any block driver which needs or wants working elevator and blk-cgroup on a queue which isn't visible to userland. If there are such users, we need a different solution. Signed-off-by:

The WRITE SAME command supported on some SCSI devices allows the same block to be efficiently replicated throughout a block range. Only a single logical block is transferred from the host and the storage device writes the same data to all blocks described by the I/O. This patch implements support for WRITE SAME in the block layer. The blkdev_issue_write_same() function can be used by filesystems and block drivers to replicate a buffer across a block range. This can be used to efficiently initialize software RAID devices, etc. Signed-off-by:

Instead of using simple_strtoul which "converts" invalid numbers to 0, use strict_strtoul and perform error checking to ensure that userspace passes us a valid unsigned long. This addresses problems with functions such as writev, which might want to write a trailing newline -- the newline should rightfully be rejected, but the value preceeding it should be preserved. Fixes BZ#46981. Signed-off-by:

Currently, request_queue has one request_list to allocate requests from regardless of blkcg of the IO being issued. When the unified request pool is used up, cfq proportional IO limits become meaningless - whoever grabs the next request being freed wins the race regardless of the configured weights. This can be easily demonstrated by creating a blkio cgroup w/ very low weight, put a program which can issue a lot of random direct IOs there and running a sequential IO from a different cgroup. As soon as the request pool is used up, the sequential IO bandwidth crashes. This patch implements per-blkg request_list. Each blkg has its own request_list and any IO allocates its request from the matching blkg making blkcgs completely isolated in terms of request allocation. * Root blkcg uses the request_list embedded in each request_queue, which was renamed to @q->root_rl from @q->rq. While making blkcg rl handling a bit harier, this enables avoiding most overhead for root blkcg. * Queue fullness is properly per request_list but bdi isn't blkcg aware yet, so congestion state currently just follows the root blkcg. As writeback isn't aware of blkcg yet, this works okay for async congestion but readahead may get the wrong signals. It's better than blkcg completely collapsing with shared request_list but needs to be improved with future changes. * After this change, each block cgroup gets a full request pool making resource consumption of each cgroup higher. This makes allowing non-root users to create cgroups less desirable; however, note that allowing non-root users to directly manage cgroups is already severely broken regardless of this patch - each block cgroup consumes kernel memory and skews IO weight (IO weights are not hierarchical). v2: queue-sysfs.txt updated and patch description udpated as suggested by Vivek. v3: blk_get_rl() wasn't checking error return from blkg_lookup_create() and may cause oops on lookup failure. Fix it by falling back to root_rl on blkg lookup failures. This problem was spotted by Rakesh Iyer <rni@google.com>. v4: Updated to accomodate 458f27a9 "block: Avoid missed wakeup in request waitqueue". blk_drain_queue() now wakes up waiters on all blkg->rl on the target queue.

Request allocation is about to be made per-blkg meaning that there'll be multiple request lists. * Make queue full state per request_list. blk_*queue_full() functions are renamed to blk_*rl_full() and takes @rl instead of @q. * Rename blk_init_free_list() to blk_init_rl() and make it take @rl instead of @q. Also add @gfp_mask parameter. * Add blk_exit_rl() instead of destroying rl directly from blk_release_queue(). * Add request_list->q and make request alloc/free functions - blk_free_request(), [__]freed_request(), __get_request() - take @rl instead of @q. This patch doesn't introduce any functional difference. Signed-off-by:

Currently, blkg is per cgroup-queue-policy combination. This is unnatural and leads to various convolutions in partially used duplicate fields in blkg, config / stat access, and general management of blkgs. This patch make blkg's per cgroup-queue and let them serve all policies. blkgs are now created and destroyed by blkcg core proper. This will allow further consolidation of common management logic into blkcg core and API with better defined semantics and layering. As a transitional step to untangle blkg management, elvswitch and policy [de]registration, all blkgs except the root blkg are being shot down during elvswitch and bypass. This patch adds blkg_root_update() to update root blkg in place on policy change. This is hacky and racy but should be good enough as interim step until we get locking simplified and switch over to proper in-place update for all blkgs. -v2: Root blkgs need to be updated on elvswitch too and blkg_alloc() comment wasn't updated according to the function change. Fixed. Both pointed out by Vivek. -v3: v2 updated blkg_destroy_all() to invoke update_root_blkg_pd() for all policies. This freed root pd during elvswitch before the last queue finished exiting and led to oops. Directly invoke update_root_blkg_pd() only on BLKIO_POLICY_PROP from cfq_exit_queue(). This also is closer to what will be done with proper in-place blkg update. Reported by Vivek. Signed-off-by:

Currently block core calls directly into blk-throttle for init, drain and exit. This patch adds blkcg_{init|drain|exit}_queue() which wraps the blk-throttle functions. This is to give more control and visiblity to blkcg core layer for proper layering. Further patches will add logic common to blkcg policies to the functions. While at it, collapse blk_throtl_release() into blk_throtl_exit(). There's no reason to keep them separate. Signed-off-by:

With kmem_cache managed by blk-ioc, io_cq exit/release can be moved to blk-ioc too. The odd ->io_cq->exit/release() callbacks are replaced with elevator_ops->elevator_exit_icq_fn() with unlinking from both ioc and q, and freeing automatically handled by blk-ioc. The elevator operation only need to perform exit operation specific to the elevator - in cfq's case, exiting the cfqq's. Also, clearing of io_cq's on q detach is moved to block core and automatically performed on elevator switch and q release. Because the q io_cq points to might be freed before RCU callback for the io_cq runs, blk-ioc code should remember to which cache the io_cq needs to be freed when the io_cq is released. New field io_cq->__rcu_icq_cache is added for this purpose. As both the new field and rcu_head are used only after io_cq is released and the q/ioc_node fields aren't, they are put into unions.

cfq allocates per-queue id using ida and uses it to index cic radix tree from io_context. Move it to q->id and allocate on queue init and free on queue release.

request_queue is refcounted but actually depdends on lifetime management from the queue owner - on blk_cleanup_queue(), block layer expects that there's no request passing through request_queue and no new one will. This is fundamentally broken. The queue owner (e.g. SCSI layer) doesn't have a way to know whether there are other active users before calling blk_cleanup_queue() and other users (e.g. bsg) don't have any guarantee that the queue is and would stay valid while it's holding a reference. With delay added in blk_queue_bio() before queue_lock is grabbed, the following oops can be easily triggered when a device is removed with in-flight IOs. sd 0:0:1:0: [sdb] Stopping disk ata1.01: disabled general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP CPU 2 Modules linked in: Pid: 648, comm: test_rawio Not tainted 3.1.0-rc3-work+ #56 Bochs Bochs RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8137d651>] [<ffffffff8137d651>] elv_rqhash_find+0x61/0x100 ...

Similar problem exists for blk-throtl. On queue cleanup, blk-throtl is shutdown whether it has requests in it or not. Depending on timing, it either oopses or throttled bios are lost putting tasks which are waiting for bio completion into eternal D state. The way it should work is having the usual clear distinction between shutdown and release. Shutdown drains all currently pending requests, marks the queue dead, and performs partial teardown of the now unnecessary part of the queue. Even after shutdown is complete, reference holders are still allowed to issue requests to the queue although they will be immmediately failed. The rest of teardown happens on release. This patch makes the following changes to make blk_queue_cleanup() behave as proper shutdown. * QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD is now set while holding both q->exit_mutex and queue_lock. * Unsynchronized DEAD check in generic_make_request_checks() removed. This couldn't make any meaningful difference as the queue could die after the check. * blk_drain_queue() updated such that it can drain all requests and is now called during cleanup. * blk_throtl updated such that it checks DEAD on grabbing queue_lock, drains all throttled bios during cleanup and free td when queue is released.

A kernel crash is observed when a mounted ext3/ext4 filesystem is physically removed. The problem is that blk_cleanup_queue() frees up some resources eg by calling elevator_exit(), which are not checked for in normal operation. So we should rather move these calls to the destructor function blk_release_queue() as at that point all remaining references are gone. However, in doing so we have to ensure that any externally supplied queue_lock is disconnected as the driver might free up the lock after the call of blk_cleanup_queue(), Signed-off-by:

Some systems benefit from completions always being steered to the strict requester cpu rather than the looser "per-socket" steering that blk_cpu_to_group() attempts by default. This is because the first CPU in the group mask ends up being completely overloaded with work, while the others (including the original submitter) has power left to spare. Allow the strict mode to be set by writing '2' to the sysfs control file. This is identical to the scheme used for the nomerges file, where '2' is a more aggressive setting than just being turned on. echo 2 > /sys/block/<bdev>/queue/rq_affinity Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> Cc: Roland Dreier <roland@purestorage.com> Tested-by:

In some cases we would end up stacking discard_zeroes_data incorrectly. Fix this by enabling the feature by default for stacking drivers and clearing it for low-level drivers. Incorporating a device that does not support dzd will then cause the feature to be disabled in the stacking driver. Also ensure that the maximum discard value does not overflow when exported in sysfs and return 0 in the alignment and dzd fields for devices that don't support discard. Reported-by:
