f2fs: multidev: fix to recognize valid zero block address

As reported by Yi Zhang in mailing list [1], kernel warning was catched during zbd/010 test as below:

Shinichiro Kawasaki helps to analyse this issue and proposes a potential fixing patch in [2].

Quoted from reply of Shinichiro Kawasaki:

I confirmed that the trigger commit is dbf8e63f48af as Yi reported. I took a look in the commit, but it looks fine to me. So I thought the cause is not in the commit diff.

I found the WARN is printed when the f2fs is set up with multiple devices, and read requests are mapped to the very first block of the second device in the direct read path. In this case, f2fs_map_blocks() and f2fs_map_blocks_cached() modify map->m_pblk as the physical block address from each block device. It becomes zero when it is mapped to the first block of the device. However, f2fs_iomap_begin() assumes that map->m_pblk is the physical block address of the whole f2fs, across the all block devices. It compares map->m_pblk against NULL_ADDR == 0, then go into the unexpected branch and sets the invalid iomap->length. The WARN catches the invalid iomap->length.

This WARN is printed even for non-zoned block devices, by following steps.

  • Create two (non-zoned) null_blk devices memory backed with 128MB size each: nullb0 and nullb1.

mkfs.f2fs /dev/nullb0 -c /dev/nullb1

mount -t f2fs /dev/nullb0 ${mount_dir}

dd if=/dev/zero of=${mount_dir}/test.dat bs=1M count=192

dd if=${mount_dir}/test.dat of=/dev/null bs=1M count=192 iflag=direct

So, the root cause of this issue is: when multi-devices feature is on, f2fs_map_blocks() may return zero blkaddr in non-primary device, which is a verified valid block address, however, f2fs_iomap_begin() treats it as an invalid block address, and then it triggers the warning in iomap framework code.

Finally, as discussed, we decide to use a more simple and direct way that checking (map.m_flags & F2FS_MAP_MAPPED) condition instead of (map.m_pblk != NULL_ADDR) to fix this issue.

Thanks a lot for the effort of Yi Zhang and Shinichiro Kawasaki on this issue.
