Upstream: Fixed since 2.3, see below.
9ae3a8
9ae3a8
We don't limit the size of the final request of multiwrite_merge. The BZ
9ae3a8
has a relatively stable reproducer: Attach an iscsi:// lun as
9ae3a8
virtio-blk, then mkfs.ext4. When the guest kernel flushes the page
9ae3a8
cache, iscsi driver gets two huge requests that are rejected by the LIO
9ae3a8
iscsi target, then reports EIO.
9ae3a8
9ae3a8
Upstream QEMU and qemu-kvm-rhev don't have this problem because of two
9ae3a8
things:
9ae3a8
9ae3a8
1) multiread feature in virtio-blk added in 2.3 (95f7142abc8).
9ae3a8
9ae3a8
2) request fragmentation in block layer I/O in 2.7 (04ed95f484 and
9ae3a8
   1a62d0accd).
9ae3a8
9ae3a8
For 1), we cannot do a faithful backport because it is a new feature,
9ae3a8
and is invasive. The change of this patch can be seen as doing a small
9ae3a8
part from it, though the implementation is totally different.
9ae3a8
9ae3a8
For 2), we would have a serious context conflict because upstream has a
9ae3a8
lot of intermediate changes. The patch could possibly be rewritten in
9ae3a8
downstream but is on the one hand much more risky than this patch as it
9ae3a8
touches the very center of the block I/O code, and on the other hand
9ae3a8
loses the meaning because the diff will completely deviate from
9ae3a8
upstream.
