The "third-party kernel modules" part sounds a bit worrisome to me. Especially
as this functionality is based on EXPORT_SYMBOL()s without the GPL suffix.

I read it as a "allow a proprietary module to mess with bios", which is a big 
no-no to me.

Not providing any sort of changelog doesn't help much either.

Thanks,
	Johannes

Probably best to have this as its own patch last in the series.

	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_BLK_FILTER))
		blk_filter_submit_bio(bio);
	else
		submit_bio_direct(bio);

is much cleaner...

The remaining should probably be a different patch before the above change.

All the EXPORT_SYMBOL should probably be EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.

All these changes are unnecessary if you reverse things: submit_bio() is kept as
the direct version (as today) and you use a "submit_bio_filtered()" where needed.

I think the words "third-party" are is not necessary.
In my opinion, creating proprietary kernel modules for Linux is an empty idea.

EXPORT_SYMBOL() -> EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() - no problem.
Sergei Shtepa Oct. 21, 2020, 10:27 a.m. UTC | #4
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL - ok.

#ifdef CONFIG_BLK_FILTER or IS_ENABLED() - It's a matter of habit.

Ok, I did.
Looks like a candidate for ./scripts/checkpatch.pl.

I'll think about it. Personally, it seems to me that this separation
does not make it easier to understand the code. 
It is important for me to know immediately where the function is called,
and this determines its behavior.

I don't understand why O_DIRECT gets to bypass the block filter.  Nor do
I understand why anybody would place a block filter on the swap device.
But if somebody did place a filter on the swap device, why should swap
be able to bypass the filter?

I am very happy to hear such a question. You are really trying to
understand the algorithm.

Yes, intercepting the swap partition is absurd. But we can't guarantee
that the filter won't intercept swap.

Swap operation is related to the memory allocation logic. If a swap on
the block device are accessed during memory allocation from filter,
a deadlock occurs. We can allow filters to occasionally shoot off their
feet, especially under high load. But I think it's better not to do it.

"directly access" - it is not O_DIRECT. This means (I think) direct
reading from the device file, like "dd if=/dev/sda1".
As for intercepting direct reading, I don't know how to do the right thing.

The problem here is that in fs/block_dev.c in function __blkdev_direct_IO()
uses the qc - value returned by the submit_bio() function.
This value is used below when calling 
blk_poll(bdev_get_queue(dev), qc, true).
The filter cannot return a meaningful value of the blk_qc_t type when
intercepting a request, because at that time it does not know which queue
the request will fall into.

If function submit_bio() will always return BLK_QC_T_NONE - I think the
algorithm of the __blk dev_direct_IO() will not work correctly.
If we need to intercept direct access to a block device, we need to at
least redo the __blkdev_direct_IO function, getting rid of blk_pool.
I'm not sure it's necessary yet.

We already have logic to prevent this in Linux.  Filters need to
call memalloc_noio_save() while they might cause swap to happen and
memalloc_noio_restore() once it's safe for them to cause swap again.

This isn't part of the block layer that I'm familiar with, so I can't
help solve this problem, but allowing O_DIRECT to bypass the block filter
is a hole that needs to be fixed before these patches can be considered.

Yes, I looked at this function, it can really be useful for the filter.
Then I don't need to enter the submit_bio_direct() function and the wait
loop associated with the queue polling function blk_mq_poll() will have
to be rewritten.

I think there is no such problem, but I will check, of course.

I know I don't take patches without any changelog text.

Maybe some maintainers are more lax...

Also, "second version" doesn't belong in the subject line, the
documentation shows how to properly version patch series, please do
that.

thanks,
