[dm-devel] [PATCH 2/2] block: Fix topology stacking for data and discard alignment

Martin K. Petersen martin.petersen at oracle.com
Wed Dec 23 20:31:30 UTC 2009


The stacking code incorrectly scaled up the data offset in some cases
causing misaligned devices to report alignment.  Rewrite the stacking
algorithm to remedy this and apply the same alignment principles to the
discard handling.  Clarify documentation and comments.

 /**
  * blk_stack_limits - adjust queue_limits for stacked devices
- * @t:	the stacking driver limits (top)
- * @b:  the underlying queue limits (bottom)
+ * @t:	the stacking driver limits (top device)
+ * @b:  the underlying queue limits (bottom, component device)
  * @offset:  offset to beginning of data within component device
  *
  * Description:
- *    Merges two queue_limit structs.  Returns 0 if alignment didn't
- *    change.  Returns -1 if adding the bottom device caused
- *    misalignment.
+ *    This function is used by stacking drivers like MD and DM to ensure
+ *    that all component devices have compatible block sizes and
+ *    alignments.  The stacking driver must provide a queue_limits
+ *    struct (top) and then iteratively call the stacking function for
+ *    all component (bottom) devices.  The stacking function will
+ *    attempt to combine the values and ensure proper alignment.
+ *
+ *    Returns 0 if the top and bottom queue_limits are compatible.  The
+ *    top device's block sizes and alignment offsets may be adjusted to
+ *    ensure alignment with the bottom device. If no compatible sizes
+ *    and alignments exist, -1 is returned and the resulting top
+ *    queue_limits will have the misaligned flag set to indicate that
+ *    the alignment_offset is undefined.
