Commit Message

PAGE_SIZE is applied in validating block device queue limits, this way is
very fragile and is wrong:

- queue limits are read from hardware, which is often one readonly hardware
property

- PAGE_SIZE is one config option which can be changed during build time.

In RH lab, it has been found that max segment size of some mmc card is
less than 64K, then this kind of card can't be probed successfully when
same kernel is re-built with 64K PAGE_SIZE.

Fix this issue by adding BLK_MIN_SEGMENT_SIZE and lim->min_segment_size:

- validate segment limits by BLK_MIN_SEGMENT_SIZE which is 4K(minimized PAGE_SIZE)

- checking if one bvec can be one segment quickly by lim->min_segment_size

V4:
	- take Daniel's suggestion to add min_segment_size limit
    for avoiding to call into split code in case that max_seg_size
    is > PAGE_SIZE

V3:
	- rephrase commit log & fix patch style(Christoph)
	- more comment log(Christoph)
V2:
	- cover bio_split_rw_at()
	- add BLK_MIN_SEGMENT_SIZE

It's neither very fragily nor wrong.  If you want to change it to suit
your needs that might or might not be ok but this language isn't.

queues limits aren't read from hardware per definition.  Very often they
are software limits.

max segment size is fixed value since it is read from hardware, now
kernel validates it by variable PAGE_SIZE, not fragile?

Well, it isn't my need only, there are lots of device which max segment
size is < 64K, they work just fine in 4K page size kernel, however,
they become unusable in 64K page size kernel.

Fine, I will update the commit log to just mention max segment size limit.


Thanks,

Let me try to help with this commit log message a bit, how about:

Using PAGE_SIZE as a minimum expected DMA segment size in consideration
of devices which have a max DMA segment size of 4k when used on 64k
PAGE_SIZE systems leads to devices not being able to probe such as
eMMC and Exynos UFS controller [0] [1] you can end up with a probe failure
as follows:

To fix this provide a block sanity check to ensure we use the min of the
block device's segment size and PAGE_SIZE.

Now that's certainly more in line with what I expected.

I think Bart provided a more sensible comment:

Use 4 KiB as the smallest default supported DMA segment size limit instead of
PAGE_SIZE. This is important if the page size is larger than 4 KiB since
the maximum DMA segment size for some storage controllers is only 4 KiB.

With that:
