Subject: [Devel] [PATCH hci-8.1 v8 8/8] block/blk-cbt: account a write request also when dm starts it
Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2026 13:10:39 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104121039.3697558-1-ptikhomirov@virtuozzo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261028-ptikhomirov-vstor-149268-cbt-account-at-rq-start-v7-8-5c48672191c2@virtuozzo.com>
CBT accounts a write at bio submission. dm suspend of request based dm
waits only for started requests, so a request submitted before the
suspend but dispatched after resume is accounted before a backup point
taken under the suspend (BLKCBTSTART, CBT_SNAP_CREATE) while its data
lands after it. push_backup then saves the old data, and no incremental
backup copies the new one.
Account a write again when dm starts it. This runs under the dispatch
rcu_read_lock(), so it can't allocate: it sets the bits directly in the
bitmap pages, and the allocation of missing pages is now queued to the
kblockd workqueue already at submission, also for a nowait write failed
with BLK_STS_AGAIN, so that its retry finds the page. If a page is still
missing when dm starts the request (the work did not run yet, or the
write was submitted before BLKCBTSTART), dm returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE, so
that blk-mq dispatches the request again later.

Feature: cbt: changed block tracking (for backup)
Signed-off-by: Pavel Tikhomirov <ptikhomirov@virtuozzo.com>
---
v8: queue the page allocation above the nowait branch of blk_cbt_add(),
so that a nowait write failed with BLK_STS_AGAIN gets its page for the
retry. Patches 1-7 of v7 are unchanged.
