Thanks for carrying on with this work Brian.

I've started to review your patchset and Darrick's fallocate patchset.
I've pushed a branch to linux-dm.git that combines the 2, see:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm.git/log/?h=dm-fallocate

and then added this RFC patch, at the end, which relies on both of your
patchsets -- you'll see blkdev_ensure_space_exists() has a FIXME which
implies it isn't much more than simply stubbed out at this point
(completely untested):

Subject: [RFC PATCH] block: wire blkdev_fallocate() to block_device_operations' reserve_space

This effectively exposes the primitive for "ensure space exists".  It
relies on block_device_operations' reserve_space method.

Hmm, ok, but -rc3 broke a bunch of stuff.  Guess I should repost with all
the PAGE_CACHE_ -> PAGE_ stuff fixed. :)

/me thinks BDEV_RES_PROVISION is correct here, because regular-mode file
fallocate (for ext4/xfs anyway) allocates blocks and maps them to specific file
offsets as unwritten extents.  afaict RES_PROVISION -> thin_provision_space()
and thin_provision_space() seems to allocate blocks and map them to the
device's LBAs.

If I'm reading the patches correctly, RES_GET/RES_MOD seem to reserve N blocks
but doesn't map them to any specific LBA.

Noted.  Will update the original patch.

This whole thing got converted to a switch statement due to some feedback
from hch.

Anyway, will try to have a new blockdev fallocate patchset done by the end
of the day.

(Is there a test case for this?)

Yeah, the kernel.org kbuild robots just spammed us about that same exact
breakage.

Right that is how I read it too.  I just put that FIXME in to cover my

OK, thanks.

Once your new patchset is available I'll rebase my 'dm-fallocate' test
branch accordingly.

No, but once my patch is in place to join your patchset with Brian's
then any basic fallocate tests against a DM thinp volume _should_ work.

/me assumes xfstests has such tests?  Only missing bit would be to layer
the filesystem ontop of DM thinp?  Or extend the tests your added to
test DM thinp devices directly.  I think Eric Sandeen (now cc'd) made
xfstests capable or creating DM thinp volumes for certain tests.

BTW, I just noticed your "block: require write_same and discard requests
align to logical block size" -- doesn't look right.

But maybe I'm just too hyper-focused on DM thinp's needs (which would
much prefer these checks be done in terms of minimum_io_size, rather
than logical_block_size, and _not_ assuming power-of-2 math will work).

But at least for discard: your lbs-based check is fine; since we have
discard_granularity to cover thinp's more specific requirements.

The patches got reviewed but aren't upstream.  It looks like it wouldn't
be difficult once it lands to make a test case that tests fallocate directly
on a thinp device.

I started by noticing the 64-bit division.  However, in researching alignment
requirements for fallocate, I noticed that nothing says that we can return
-EINVAL for unaligned offset/len for allocate or punch.  For file allocations
ext4 and xfs simply enlarge the range so that the ends are aligned to the
logical block size; for punch they both shrink the range to deallocate until
the ends are aligned, and write zeroes to the partial blocks.

At least for user-visible fallocate we should do likewise, but for the internal
blkdev_ helpers I think it makes more sense to check lbs alignment and let the
lower level driver reject the IO if min_io alignment is a hard requirement.
Documentation/block/queue-sysfs.txt says that the min_io is the smallest
/preferred/ size.

But, before that, I'll push out some new fallocate patches for -rc3.

What happens if we pass a request to thinp that isn't aligned to
minimum_io_size?  Does it reject the command?

Oops, yeah good point.  I did said my patch was untested (didn't mention
that it wasn't even compile tested.. RFC and all) ;)

Thinking about this all further.  Alignment on allocation isn't a big
deal for thinp.  If the extent requested isn't properly aligned we'll
still do the right thing (which is to round-up and allocate a block at
the beginning and/or end to fulfill the request).

As for discard, DM-thinp silently drops the discard of the beginning
and/or end that isn't aligned on a thinp blocksize boundary -- that is
DM thinp doesn't unmap the corresponding thinp block because the partial
block is still considered used.  But thinp still passes down the
appropriate discard for that subset of the still-mapped thinp block to
the underlying storage (if discard passdown in enabled on the DM
thin-pool).

I hope I answered that above just now.

SO.. it seems we can avoid the mess of worrying about minimum_io_size
alignment (both for this fallocate interface and discard).
