The recent *sync enabling discovered that we are inserting into the block_device pagecache counter to the expectations of the dirty data tracking for dax mappings. This can lead to data corruption. We want to support DAX for block devices eventually, but it requires wider changes to properly manage the pagecache. dump_stack+0x85/0xc2 dax_writeback_mapping_range+0x60/0xe0 blkdev_writepages+0x3f/0x50 do_writepages+0x21/0x30 __filemap_fdatawrite_range+0xc6/0x100 filemap_write_and_wait+0x4a/0xa0 set_blocksize+0x70/0xd0 sb_set_blocksize+0x1d/0x50 ext4_fill_super+0x75b/0x3360 mount_bdev+0x180/0x1b0 ext4_mount+0x15/0x20 mount_fs+0x38/0x170 Mark the support broken so its disabled by default, but otherwise still available for testing.

Provide block layer support for the kernel.
|
|
|
|
Disable this option to remove the block layer support from the
|
|
kernel. This may be useful for embedded devices.
|
|
|
|
If this option is disabled:
|
|
|
|
- block device files will become unusable
|
|
- some filesystems (such as ext3) will become unavailable.
|
|
|
|
Also, SCSI character devices and USB storage will be disabled since
|
|
they make use of various block layer definitions and facilities.
|
|
|
|
Say Y here unless you know you really don't want to mount disks and
|
|
suchlike.

Enable block devices or files of size 2TB and larger.
|
|
|
|
This option is required to support the full capacity of large
|
|
(2TB+) block devices, including RAID, disk, Network Block Device,
|
|
Logical Volume Manager (LVM) and loopback.
|
|
|
|
This option also enables support for single files larger than
|
|
2TB.
|
|
|

The ext4 filesystem requires that this feature be enabled in
|
|
order to support filesystems that have the huge_file feature
|
|
enabled. Otherwise, it will refuse to mount in the read-write
|
|
mode any filesystems that use the huge_file feature, which is
|
|
enabled by default by mke2fs.ext4.
|
|
|
|
The GFS2 filesystem also requires this feature.

If unsure, say Y.

Saying Y here will enable generic SG (SCSI generic) v4 support
|
|
for any block device.
|
|
|
|
Unlike SG v3 (aka block/scsi_ioctl.c drivers/scsi/sg.c), SG v4
|
|
can handle complicated SCSI commands: tagged variable length cdbs
|
|
with bidirectional data transfers and generic request/response
|
|
protocols (e.g. Task Management Functions and SMP in Serial
|
|
Attached SCSI).
|
|
|

This option is required by recent UDEV versions to properly
|
|
access device serial numbers, etc.

Some storage devices allow extra information to be

stored/retrieved to help protect the data. The block layer
|
|
data integrity option provides hooks which can be used by

filesystems to ensure better data integrity.

Say yes here if you have a storage device that provides the

T10/SCSI Data Integrity Field or the T13/ATA External Path

When DAX support is available (CONFIG_FS_DAX) raw block
|
|
devices can also support direct userspace access to the
|
|
storage capacity via MMAP(2) similar to a file on a
|
|
DAX-enabled filesystem. However, the DAX I/O-path disables
|
|
some standard I/O-statistics, and the MMAP(2) path has some
|
|
operational differences due to bypassing the page
|

cache. If in doubt, say N.

Block layer bio throttling support. It can be used to limit

the IO rate to a device. IO rate policies are per cgroup and

one needs to mount and use blkio cgroup controller for creating

cgroups and specifying per device IO rate policies.
