When formatting NVMe to 512B/4K + T10 DIf/DIX, dd with split op returns "Input/output error". Looks block layer split the bio after calling bio_integrity_prep(bio). This patch fixes the issue. Below is how we debug this issue: (1)format nvme to 4K block # size with type 2 DIF (2)dd with block size bigger than 1024k. oflag=direct dd: error writing '/dev/nvme0n1': Input/output error We added some debug code in nvme device driver. It showed us the first op and the second op have the same bi and pi address. This is not correct. 1st op: nvme0n1 Op:Wr slba 0x505 length 0x100, PI ctrl=0x1400, dsmgmt=0x0, AT=0x0 & RT=0x505 Guard 0x00b1, AT 0x0000, RT physical 0x00000505 RT virtual 0x00002828 2nd op: nvme0n1 Op:Wr slba 0x605 length 0x1, PI ctrl=0x1400, dsmgmt=0x0, AT=0x0 & RT=0x605 ==> This op fails and subsequent 5 retires.. Guard 0x00b1, AT 0x0000, RT physical 0x00000605 RT virtual 0x00002828 With the fix, It showed us both of the first op and the second op have correct bi and pi address. 1st op: nvme2n1 Op:Wr slba 0x505 length 0x100, PI ctrl=0x1400, dsmgmt=0x0, AT=0x0 & RT=0x505 Guard 0x5ccb, AT 0x0000, RT physical 0x00000505 RT virtual 0x00002828 2nd op: nvme2n1 Op:Wr slba 0x605 length 0x1, PI ctrl=0x1400, dsmgmt=0x0, AT=0x0 & RT=0x605 Guard 0xab4c, AT 0x0000, RT physical 0x00000605 RT virtual 0x00003028 Signed-off-by: Wen Xiong <wenxiong@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
