We fixed several similar bugs, but maybe there is another one, :-(

Could you apply the attached debug patch and post the log after the issue is
triggered?

Thanks for your help!

Sadly I was not yet able to produce the requested output for you.
It seems we have - probably triggered due to the block splitting itself - some kind of memory/stack
corruption in here as well. Note, the stack grows upwards(!) on parisc, so maybe local variables
get overwritten somehow...?

First I applied your patch as is. 
Here is the system log so far:

Here it stops. Usually you would see a stack backtrace now, but as I mentioned above
maybe the stack got corrupted and as such your tracing code is not being executed.

Then I moved the WARN_ON behind you tracing code. With that I got:

Again, no stack backtrace.

Maybe Dave has more luck, otherwise I'll continue to try to get some info.

Yeah, this is needed for sake of safety.

From the following log(just select one simple, and looks all are similar) in
2nd boot, the bi_phys_segments is figured out as one by block core
, which is wrong because the max segment size is 64k according to
your investigation in the below link, but the whole req/bio is 192k(4k*48).

    http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-parisc/msg06749.html

Looks weird, it shouldn't have happened because blk_bio_segment_split()
does respect the max segment size limit.

BTW, what is the scsi driver for the device?

It happens with various drivers.
sym53c8xx (on my machine) and mptspi (Fusion MPT, on Daves machine).
Then we have PATA/SATA controllers too: sil680, sata_sil24, pata_ns87415.
The problem can be reproduced by using sym53c8xx or mptsi and blacklisting all others.

John, Helge, and I did discuss the problem for a while privately, and looks
it is related with compiler.  Last time, I sent one patch which can make the
issue disappear, but the main change is just invovled with the below:

 struct bio_vec {
     struct page    *bv_page;
-    unsigned int    bv_len;
+    unsigned int    bv_seg:8;
+    unsigned int    bv_len:24;
     unsigned int    bv_offset;
 };

Maybe John and Helge have some update recently?

The logic in blk_bio_segment_split() is correct, and it does respect the max
segment size limit.

Thanks,

Helge has found that tagging blk_bio_segment_split() with "__attribute__ 
((optimize("O0")))"
makes the issue disappear.  The bug remains if one just adds bv_len to 
the struct without the
bit fields.  Maybe problem is evident from following output which I sent 
to Ming and Helge
last weekend?

Kernel panic - not syncing: bad block merge

It seems segment 1 is too small and segment 2 too big?

The general plan is to disable inlining (maybe move 
blk_bio_segment_split() to a separate
function) to try to figure out what is miscompiled.

As you say, this is probably a GCC bug.  However, it's likely a 
middle-end or optimization
bug in the common GCC code.

The above 4 io vectors belong to one same segment since
they are contineous physically from the 3rd column of PFN,
but the vector 4(the below one) isn't contineous with above 3
vectors, so the following one starts the 2nd segment.

The above 16 vectors are contineous physically, but the segment
size becomes 64K now, so blk_bio_segment_split() should have
seen that and started to split the bio.

Unfortunately the bio isn't splitted at all, that means the following
code is run incorrectly:

if (seg_size + bv.bv_len > queue_max_segment_size(q))
                                goto new_segment;

seg_size should be 64K, and bv.bv_len should be 4K, so
the sum between the two should be bigger than
64K(queue_max_segment_size(q)). Unfortunately, the
code is optimized as run incorrectly.

segment 1 is correct, and segment 2 becomes too big, but
__blk_segment_map_sg() runs correctly and figured out
this bio has 3 segments, so causes the oops.

Right.
I just succeeded in reproducing the bug with moving blk_bio_segment_split() into an own file
(and with "extern" instead of "static" in blk-merge.c). When compiled with -O2 it still crashes.
So, next step is to analyze what gcc does wrong when compiling this function.
It should get easier now to find the reason, since we have a smaller reproducer now.

OK, that would explain why I don't see the problem, since I'm using an
older compiler.  So it's our issue and basically no action for block.

I have a ton of compilers here on my C8000 and a few even on my C3600 which 
drive nightly CMake dashboards. Could you send the testcase so I can pass it 
through the list and see what breaks?

Greetings,

Thanks for the offer!
Sadly it's not a stand-alone testcase, just the original source code extracted
which can be manually compiled and then the generated assembly can be compared
to what it should be.
That said, I think this specific testcase is not really usable in your test environment.

By the way, the bug was just fixed. Details are in bugzilla:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=70188

Thanks,
Helge
